fr - The Xuilia BkllroMl Russia has been occupied for more than ten years in building 6,000 miles of railway over a very easy country for the most part, and that railway is not yet completed. The turn around Lake Baikal, which involves serious difficulties, is not yet made, and will not be for some years. The Man- churian branch is not yet complete. But assume that we may call the rail­ way completed, what do we find? It has taken Russia ten years to build 6,000 miles of railroad. The annual construction of railways In the United States has twice reached 6,000 miles. The Russian road has cost in the easi­ est part $30,000 a mile, and in Siberia it has probably cost, with the equip­ ment, $50,000 a mile. Yet, despite this enormous and wasteful expenditure, they have only got a single track laid with rails so light that they must relay it from one end to the other. It is as- yet a complete failure commer­ cially. It is not paying its expenses.-- Scribner's. Regular Plenlc. If it should ever come to an out-and- out fight between the Swiesancl Ital­ ians, the warriors of the little republic could give Victor Emmanuel's soldiers a regular Boer time of it playing hide and seek in the Alps.

This shows the unselfish disposition of Mr. Hodge, of Orchard Cottage, Ippleden, New­ ton, who, having been cured by Vogeler's Compound, wishes every other sufferer to know of the benefit he has received from this marvellous remedy. He tella his story as follows:-- "Gentlemen--I find Vogeler's Compound a remed above all others ; last year I was in a thorough bai state of health, and could hardly drae one leg after the other. I had tried dozens of remedies advertised to cure indigestion and all iti attendant evils, hut wit rapidly going from bad to worse, when I had the good fortune to be recommended to take Vogeler's Cora- pound. I did so, and am thankful to say it made a new man of me. I should like other people to know itt virtues, and how completely it knock* under the worst forms of indigestion and dispepsia.

You have seen the engraving of the monument created by David D'Angers to the memory of Marcos Botzaris, and you know whether or not the great sculptor was successful in his determination that he who fell at Mis­ solonghi should have a monument worthy of his heroism and patriotism. The story of that monument, a sad and pretty tale. Is little known--too little known. We lorget too easily. There is no longer a Botzaris; there is no longer a Mavrocordato. Mlsso- longhi itself is remembered but -as the place where Byron died, and even then only when one says "Mlssolonghi --1824." And that is a long time ago. The day David D'Angers found the inspiration he sought for his monu­ ment to Botzaris, he was walking among the tombs of Pere-la-Chaise. He saw a young girl lying on a grave­ stone, at full length, tracing with a colored chalk the name "Marcos Bot­ zaris" on the headstone of the tombi She had Just finished the last one of the letters on the otherwise blank vhaft of marble. "My child," David called to her, as he approached, "why do you write that name upon that tomb? That tomb ha^ nothing to do with Bot­ zaris." "I know It, Monsieur," she replied. "T. simply came here for a walk, and I was thinking of Marcos Botzaris. Be­ sides, the monument has nothing to do with him because it is not half good enough for him, beautiful as ic Is in its simplicity." "Why do you think it is not good enough for him?" the sculptor asked. "He was a Greek, Monsieur!" she said, simply. She wept, David took note of her. She was about fourteen, just budding into womanhood, with the travail of the transition expressed in her every feature, every limb. Here, he said to himself, was not only the subject for his composition, but the model for his art as well. His statue took shape in his mind. This girl, he thought to himself, would rep­ resent, copied in stone, to the mo>st casual observer the struggle for free­ dom. She would bend for him over the tomb of Botzaris to drag the secret of that freedom from him and give to the world in efflgied marble the story Botzaris fell too soon to finish. Dawning life, the reincarnation of liberty, would take up the work of the dead, in its ever continuing effort to fulfill its mission. It would be his masterpiece. Questioning the girl, he learned-- nothing. She had 'nothing to tell, she said. Her name? She would not give It. Her residence? She shook her head. Sh^/ told him nothing beyond that she happened to be in Pere-la- Chaise for a walk. David seated himself upon a nearby tomb and commenced to speak of his monument. He prefaced his remarks with the question: "You are a Greek?" "As Monsieur sees," she said, proud­ ly raising her head. At first she listened to him incredu­ lously. When ne spoke of her coun­ try's war for freedom, and his own ideal of independence, a fire kindled In her eyes, and Bhe arled her tears, and listened, silently entranced, show­ ing only by her heaving young breast and the flashing of her eyes, the emo­ tion his words occasioned her. At length he reached the point of his conversation. Would she pose for him? "I, Monsieur! I" she exclaimed, tn a paroxysm of eagerness and joy as she sprang to her feet. "Yes," she said. He began to speak of paying her for the Bittings she should give him, but she would not listen. "I want no pay," she said. "It is for him!" "Come," she continued, "is the studio of Monsieur near? Let us start" He was puzzled. He did not know what to make of her. But to David D*Angers the words "patriot" and "patriotism" meant something almost Bacred. She had in her, he saw, some­ thing of the spirit of Missolonghi. It was better so. Better for his work, better for him, better for her. "So be it," he said, at length. "Come." He led her home with him at once, and the first sitting was commenced. Silent, wrapped in her own thoughts, with the exact expression upon her her sittings and she had again de­ clined the money, she exclaimed, with a glance at the crucifix: "If you insist upon paying me, M. David, you may give me that!" The crucifix was worth considerably more than the price of her sittings at two francs fifty centimes an hour, the usual price, and iJ'Angers hesitated. "What do you want with It?" he asked. "I would place it in my room, M. David," she said, "and pray to Christ for Greece." He took down the image and handl­ ed it to her, and she left that day, the last day of the sittings, staggering under its weight The statue was finished and sent to Greece, and the Jiougnt of his model passed from his mind. She was a little of a mystery to him, but Paris It Was the Pint Plaited la Western York sad a Woman Raised It- Mrs. Sophronia Phelps of Kuckville Orleans county, New York, celebrated her ninety-third birthday the othe: day. The event was marked by an old-fashioned reception. "Mistress Phelps," as her old friends and relatives call her to this day, as that was the way she was ad dressed three-quarters of a century ago, sat in a curiously carved chair which is more than 125 years old and an heirloom. But the relic which in terested the guests most was a cane belonging to Col. Miles of Kuckvlllc made from the wood of the first apple tree planted in western New "York The cane is handsomely carved and beautifully polished. It was related at the birthday party t>y Mistress Phelps that this first apple tree was planted by a Mrs. Dunham who sowed the apple seed herself and cared for the tender shoot until it was set out near the Dunham homestead in the eastern part of what is no^ Brie county. &rs. Dunh&m came when a girl from New York city. The- family stopped at Albany and slowly worked their way along the Mohawk, west ward through the wilderness. They stayed for a while at or near the salt Springs of Syracuse and there, ac­ cording to tradition, somebody gave them a handful of apple seeds. From one of these seeds came the first ap­ ple tree planted in western New York the advance guard of the innumer­ able orchards that crowd the most famous apple growing region in the world. 'T, Monsieur! I!" she exclaimed, held many such mysteries, or what seemed to be mysteries, in those days, and models, to David D*Angers, were simply models. That was the story of the Marcos Botzaris monument. David had been sufficiently young to be enthusiastic and sufficiently presumptious to im­ agine he could do somethi ng which had never been done before. He had succeeded. With the aid of the spirit of Missolonghi, he had succeeded. In after years, when he departed from France, exiled by Louis Napo­ leon, a wanderer on the face of the earth, the irresistible desire to behold once more his masterpiece finally drew him to Greece. Long before the vessel anchored he caught a glimpse of the tumulus erected at the foot of the bastion in honor of Botzaris. It made a small, dark spot on the horizon, but above it was a speck, small and white, with another dark speck beside it. He knew the white speck was his statue of the young Greek girl, but it was not until he had landed that he knert what is now a matter of history-- that his statue had been mutilated almost beyond repair. As he reached the tomb, he wept like a child, for, lying across the marble figure was the unknown girl who had originated the masterpiece, and who. having journeyed to Missolonghi to behold the composition once more, and having found the right hand of the statue broken, the index finger ot which pointed to the name, after try­ ing to hide the cruel, vandal break with a bouquet of flowers, had died of a broken heart, and, with her still warm clay, for one brief hour was taking the place of the marble effigy she had inspired to the memory of Marcos Bottaris and his fall at Misso­ longhi. HE DIDN'T WANT TO REMEMBER Coacreaaman Camming*' Experience at Southern Winter Resort. Feeling the need of a few days' rest. Congressman Cummings and a friend left Washington and went to the most fashionable hotel at one of the most popular Southern winter resorts, says the New York Times. A letter of in troduction which they had to the man­ ager of the establishment brought for them a hearty welcome, and "the best In the house." They got both, and they had a grand time, but their ap preciation of it all was rather di­ minished by the unexpected size of their bill. As they were leaving, muttering curses at such "high hospitality" as they had enjoyed, Congressman Cum mings stopped at the hotel news stand to get some papers. The pretty young woman attendant who waited upon called his attention to a show case filled with fantey trifles and said sweetly: "Congressman, don't you want souvenir?" "What for?" asked Mr. Cummings, rather gruffly. "Why, to serve as a reminder of this place," she said, "Humph!" replied Mr. Cummings. looking ruefully at his receipted hotel bill, "I don't want to remember it. If you have any souvenirs there that will make me forget it I'll buy one." WITNESSED BY "ME AND HEAVEN/ Ha was walking among the tombs or Pere-la-Chaise. face that he desired, he had so need to tell her a word of what he wanted. By intuition she seemed to know, and by the intuition ol his genius he worked. Day by day she returned at the ap­ pointed hour, but never a word did •he vouchsafe as to herself or her an­ tecedents. and David, engrossed with his composition, grew to think of her less and less, his composition neared its comple­ tion and he grew to thinking of the statue more. On the wall of his studio hung a very handsome bronze crucifix, on a •elvet panel. He often foundr her watching it. It seemed to have a fas­ cination for her, and one day,when the child was dressing, after two or lhree hour* of hard work, when he \ had spoken to her again of payment for Humorous Ineldrat at a Milwaukee Theatrical Performance. Robert Edeson, the actor, tells this story of the stage: "I've seen and heard a good many funny things in the way of plays and play actors in my time, but the greatest thing I ever saw or heard was in Milwaukee. This was several months ago. It was in one of the museums there. The museum had a stock company in its theater, and its great specialty was border drama. Every week they gave a new drama of the wild and woolly west. This play that I saw was a blood-curd ler of that character, and at the time I dropped in at the theater the stage was pitch dark, and two men were fighting a duel. I could hear the knives clash together, and hear the men stumble around the stage, but I could only faintly distinguish the forms of the actors. After a while there was a thump on the floor, and the villain (I knew it was the villain by his accent) hissed. 'Ah, ha! Ru­ dolph Tegherington, I have you now, and no one nigh to see me do the deed!' Then the drummer hit the bass drum a belt and the calcium man turn­ ed on the light, and away up on a rocky pass a woman (the heroine) was seen standing. "Coward!" she shouted, 'me and heaven is here!'" An Enterprising Onehoea One queer phase of the recent trip of the Duchess of Sutherland to Rus­ sia, in company with the Duchcss of Marlborough, didn't get into the pa- pel's. The Etychegs, who is rich, and lovely, is one of the most energetic young women in the kingdom, and is especially interested in the peasants who make the Scotch tweeds. For the sake of promoting their industry, she packed several of her trunks with sam­ ples of the highland tweeds, and on arriving at St. Petersburg spread out her goods like a commercial traveler and issued invitations to the leading tailors of St. Petersburg and Moscow to come, see and buy. She believes that, as a result of her efforts, a new market will be opened for the product of the highland cotters. Settling • Controreray.

There never was a good war or bad peace.--Benjamin Franklin. Oriental Sentiment*. One of the oddest of the recent fads in the line of personal adornments is the Chinese letter belt, says the Pitts­ burg Dispatch. It is quite two years ago that Mrs. Seton-Thompson, now Mrs. Thompson-Seton, wore a ribbon belt fastened with Chinese letters in silver. After that somebody improved on the idea and ordered a whole belt made of silver characters held to­ gether by tiny chains and lined with colored satin or velvet. This lover of the unique, paying a visit one day, met a Chinese gentleman, who im­ mediately expressed admiration for her odd belt. "It is beautiful," she said. "And the sentiments, too. I congratulate you on the excellences of your wishes." "Oh, the sentiments," said the own­ er of the glorified laundry bill. "Do tell me what the characters mean. They look all alike to me." "There are but two wishes express­ ed," answered the Chinaman, "and as you have them repeated so often I know they are your heart feelings. This one here signifies, 'May you have fifty sons.' And this, 'May all your enemies die by torture.'" Has's of Loving Ca|b Claret is the basis of "loving cup," blended with other liquors aud fla­ vored with certain spices, the secret of which only the wine men know. There is no written recipe for its prep­ aration, but from one rubicund wine man to another through the centuries the mystery has been communicated. It is a fragrant concoction, appealing deeply to the imaginations of the peo­ ple who do not get any. The solemnity with which the big loving cup is handled, the formal bow with which it is passed along and re­ ceived, the ponderous deliberation with which the guest receiving the cup lifts it double-handed to his mouth, and the expression of deep content which overspreads the features after a very small sip, give to the brew, afar off, a rich, full flagrance such as no Falernian ever bore. But there are blase men who have passed the chair who declare that Che chief sensation produced by a dip into the loving cup formulates itself vague­ ly about the pit of the stomach and calls immediately and insistently for just a tiny thimbleful of old brandy. General Lee's Thoughts. "Uncle Tom," the old negro of Lex ington, Va., who saw a great deal of Gen. Lee during the civil war, having been employed as a cook at headquar­ ters, confessed that only once had he heard anything disrespectful said about the idol of the south. In relat­ ing the incident, he said: "One night, about de middle ob de war, I seed a curi'us man go inter de gln'l's tent He cum out, en whin he got up to whar I wuz he wuz a ripkln en erroarin' en ersnorten'.

To assist nature, when nature needs assistance, it is all important that tho J medicinal agents used should be of the best quality and of known value, aud the one remedy which acts most beneficially and pleasantly, as a laxative, is--Syrup of Figs-manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co. With a proper understanding of the fact that many physical ills are of a transient char­ acter and yitild promptly to the gentle action of Syrup of Figs, gladness and comfort come to the heart, and if one would remove the torpor and strain and congestion attendant upon a con­ stipated condition of the system, take Syrup of Figs and enjoy freedom from the aches and pains, the colds and headaches and the depression due to inactivity of the bowels. In case of any organic trouble it is well to consult a competent physician, but when a laxative is required remember that the most permanently gratifying results will follow personal cooperation with the beneficial effects of Syrup of Figs. It is for sale by all reliable druggists. Price fifty cents per bottle. The excellence of Syrup of Figs comes from the beneficial effects of the plants used in tho combination and also from the method of manufacture which ensures that perfect purity and uniformity of product essential in a perfect family laxative. All the members of the family from the youngest to the most advanced in years may use it whenever a laxative is needed and share alike in its beneficial effects. We do not claim that Syrup of Figs is the only remedy of known value, but it possesses this great advantage over all other laxatives that it acta gently and pleasantly without disturbing natural functions, in any way, as it is free from every ob­ jectionable quality or substance. To get its beneficial effects it is-always necessary to buy the genuine and the fttll name of the Co.--California Fig Syrup Co.--is printed on the front of every package. v. 1-vll IM i ,-̂ M D ( 0 ^ T O W ( ( f Louisville, Ky.
