SIBERIAN HOSPITALITY. A Charming Visit, With a Somewhat Terrifying Climax. Detained at the Siberian village of Krivochokovo, M. Jules Legras remembered that he had a letter to a notable of the place and hastened to present it. M. Gautier in his book on Russia describes in M. Legras' own words the cordial hospitality with which he was received and also tells of the difficulty which concluded his charming visit. "They had detained me till 10 o'clock in the evening," he writes, "by repeating, 'Why are you in a hurry?' and I was on the point of making my departure when I heard the mistress of the house say in a low voice to her husband, 'Shall I send for the carriage?' To which he replied, 'No.' At this word a shiver passed over me. Doubtless this host, who had made me send away the coachman, was unaware of what his refusal meant, else he would have said to me, 'Here is a sofa; sleep here.' "My situation was perilous, but what could I do? At the end of a few moments I rose to take my leave, and having asked if I could get a cab, was met with the reply that at this hour none could be obtained. "Krivochokovo is a village whose population constitutes the very flotsam and jetsam of Siberian civilization. The village has neither streets nor lights nor police. It is considered a cutthroat spot, where honest people shut themselves tight at night. "I had neither stick nor revolver, and I had on me a large sum of money. Finally, I was ignorant of the exact position of my inn, situated over a mile away. First of all, dogs threw themselves upon me. I shook them off and started as best I could. "The night was inky black. Amid the irregular clusters of houses there was no regular street by which to guide myself. As I hesitated I heard a" The Shaving Brush It is likely that the bed brush ever made sheds hairs. To prevent this take band, neither too heavy nor cut it once (not in two), and one end firmly on the handle rubber around the bristles to the handle as you can taut as you wind. When you the end tie a simple flat knot or else lose the careful winding a very neat be done, and the bristles can down to the socket without hair. A Work of Art.

First of all, dogs threw themselves upon me. I shook them off and started as best I could. "The night was inky black. Amid the irregular clusters of houses there was no regular street by which to guide myself. As I hesitated I heard a 'Who is that?' It was a watchman of a pile of wood who hailed me. He directed me, and, giving me a large branch that would do as a stick, he said: 'You are wrong, barine, to go about this way without a revolver. The place is not safe. May God protect you!' "As I approached another cluster of houses a watchman sounded his rattle menacingly and dogs flew at me savagely. When this watchman approached I induced him to accompany me. He informed me that the evening before a traveler who was staying at my hotel, having started early to catch a train, had been assassinated about ten paces from there. Finally we reached the inn. It took a long time to make them open the door, but I finally got inside and reached my room, trembling with fever and fatigue, and fell down helplessly, only conscious of having passed an hour and a half whose remembrance will remain with me long. As for my so amiable host, whose hospitality might have cost me my life, he will doubtless never know of this adventure." Macedonia. Macedonia, the land of the three streams, Vardar, Struma and Vistritsa, is hemmed in by lofty mountains, of which the best known or the highest are Olympus, Shardagh and Rhodope, the last named rising to between 8,000 and 9,000 feet above the level of the sea. It is among the most picturesque countries of Europe, abounding in magnificent forests, which climb hills, fringe rivers and cover islands; in wild mountain scenes, wonderful waterfalls, silent, sailless lakes—an appropriate setting for gems of emerald islets, deep gorges, dizzy mountain paths, smiling plains and desolate passes, which ought to prove an irresistible attraction to the traveler who regards genuine danger and real discomfort as the appropriate condiment of pleasure.

Milk is Nature’s emulsion—butter put in shape for digestion. Cod liver oil is extremely nourishing, but it has to be emulsified before we can digest it. Scott’s Emulsion combines the best oil with the valuable hypophosphites so that it is easy to digest and does far more good than the oil alone could. That makes Scott’s Emulsion the most strengthening, nourishing food-medicine in the world. Send for free sample. SCOTT & BOWNE, Chemists 409-415 Pearl Street New York 50c. and $1.00.

A young man was riding in the cab with a locomotive engineer. "Now," said the young man, shuddering, "suppose a stage load of children were to glide on to the track from that lane—what a blessing it would then be if you could stop short, instantly, like a man walking." "Blessing?" said the engineer. "Why, young fellow, if that stage you speak of were to appear now, and I could stop short like a man walking, I wouldn't do it. Instead, I'd keep right on and kill the kids." "Why?" too old and rheumatic to stoop and recover it, and those back of the line were too intent upon getone fleeting glimpse possible of ress of the White House to noold lady's loss, and the hand was trampled upon roughly.

"Now," said the young man, shuddering, "suppose a stage load of children were to glide on to the track from that lane—what a blessing it would then be if you could stop short, instantly, like a man walking." "Blessing?" said the engineer. "Why, young fellow, if that stage you speak of were to appear now, and I could stop short like a man walking, I wouldn't do it. Instead, I'd keep right on and kill the kids." "Why?" "Because it would be the more humane course. In one case there would be a stage load of kids slaughtered; in the other case there would be the slaughter of a trainload of people. This train is going at the rate of forty-five miles an hour, and the sudden stoppage of a train going at that rate would give the passengers precisely the same shock that they would get from a fall of fifty-four feet—a fall from a housetop." Preparing For the Storm. A correspondent in the north of Ireland sends the following account of an interesting incident that came under his observation: Being on a walking tour through Inishowen and passing along the edge of Lough Swilly, the romantic Lake of Shadows, he noticed an immense gathering of rooks on the sandy shore. In company with several others, the tourist was attracted by this novel spectacle and began to wonder at the cause of it. An old man who was working in a field near the place offered an explanation. He said that the birds were picking up sand to ballast themselves in a storm and that when they did so it was a sure sign of approaching bad weather. He added that on shooting rooks after a gathering of the sort he had found that they were loaded with sand. As a matter of fact, the gentleman concludes, a violent gale set in early next morning.—Pearson's Weekly. incely, Emperor and Earlington SHIRTS 163 Dozen selling for 50c, 75c & $1 Made of the best of material and of the latest patterns are fast colors.
