The typical muzhik is like no other peasant. WiLh all his sunny nature there is a strain of sadness in ibn'm-. 'Throughout Russia, among nobles and serfs alike, the same admixture ot the joyous and the melancholy is observable. This Is why all Russian music lapses Luto the minor hey. The Russian peasant revels in his native music. Tho tones ot the church-balls, which ring at all hours of the day and night, distil their melody into his ears'from babyhood. ��������� Xhiere are more bells im, Russia than in all the rest of. the world, and immense sums are spent yearly in their m_niulacture. ������������������'..., No Russian' dri-ver would think it worthy of-his dig.nity aa a coachman to drive a troika, team of three horses abreast, with ,a carriage or a sleigh, _nilcss the harness,were gay with numerous trnkliinig bells. A Russian peasint ia never happier than when he ie urging his beautiful and .hardy ponies across'the flowery steppes, not by lashing them ��������� with the whip, but by staging in hia own rich intonation hia national or popular songs. ��������� As an agriculturist. the muzhik is conservative. He likes every implement to be as i>riniiitive as possible. He-hates agricultural machinery, and clings to tbe rude plows of his ancestors. Thousands of pounds .' have beon expended in i vain by rich proprietors in purchasing ' expensive American and .English implements, for the peasants ei the ������������������ : :altreat or neglect them. Yet ihe muzhik is a skilful work- main in his own peculiar ..style. He does every tih'inig \y.ith his native topor a kiind ot axe. With it he can make almost any tilling-, be wants. ., The ohiikllsh simplicity of these sous of blue steppes is touohiiug, and their improvidence almost past belief. It is ho uncommon bluing for a family to burn the roof ot thoir hut for fueL A Russian village is a squalid-looking place, but except in time of famine it ia mot the abode of misery. Every but is constructed of roughly-trimmed birch logs mortised into strong, uprlgtht oak or pine posits, and lined with rough, planks. The roots are made of long strips of the same material. ������������������ .,. The bouse usually has two rooms opening Into eaoh other, the front one being tho guest-chamber and the siha-lne, which holds all tho sacred pictures of tbe family. The imner room is uhe kitchen and sleeping-place, whore, upon i_e top ot the great stove, tho family sleeps. All the furniture of tiba house ia of birch, amd ,is invariably manufactured by Une muzhik himself. He fashions every domestic utensil, and with the help of his wife makes much of the clothing for the family. In Ui.2 matter of food the Russian peasant is not fastidious, lie dearly loves mushrooms, which gtow by millions on tliw steppes. For moiuhs in the autumn they are h;^ chief allied of diet. At other times, dried fu'iigi, sausages, onions, and coarse rye broad will make the family a satisfactory meal, always provided that tbe tchai, or Russian tea, prepared and served as it is in Russia only, it. not lacking.

A peculiar accident occurred in a Western town recently. Tho big iron safe in a shoe factory refused to open, and the bookkeeper and engineer conceived tho idea that they could burn out the combination by use of carbon and electricity. It took several hours to accomplish their purpose, but they finally succeeded, but not until they had stood for several hours in the glare of the electric light taking turns at holding the wire and carbon. When the work was over both complained of a dizziness and pain in the head which increased as the hours passed, and in a short time both went suddenly blind at about the same time. .All efforts to restore their sight have been unavailing, for while the eye balls appear all right, the sight is destroyed. A Toilet Hint. Performing one's toilet without 1he use of a hairbrush seems almost impossible to some.' Wc have heard, however, of an English woman possessed of a remarkably fine head of hair bronzy gold iu color who rarely uses-'u'hairbrush, but substitutes for it a large piece ot soft cream colored silk. With this handkerchief she rubs and strokes her hair night and morning and: to this process attributes the splendid condition of her hair, which is frizzy, bright and strong. .'. To Get Rid of Rntit. The approved method of ridding a kitchen of, rat's is. according to cooking school experts, to starve them out. This statement must be literally construed and means closely covered boxes and barrels, no crumbs or particles ot any food raw or cooked left about on closet shelves or in any other place accessible to them. This treatment persevered in will-, bring about after a short time the desired result. The rtnltngr PnHHlon. "Where are you going lu such haste, neighbor?" "To the railway station." "Too bad, for I was going to tell you a piece of news." "Oh, dear! Now I'll lose another brain!"���������Fli(;u'6udoH!:iltev Their Strom? I'ointa. "Women waiters." said the other man, "are so much neater aud cleaner looking than men." "Yes," responded Mr. Tyte-Phist. tucking his napkin under bis chin, "aud you don't have to tip them." ul YVe-.l Point. Tiieae ttnditions are carefully preserved and handed down from one class to another, and it is of the rarest occurrence for a cadet to do anything that is contrary to I hem. If he \ does violate an important one, the cadet ' in question is made to feel thu displeasure of the corps in nu unmistakable manner. ; Such, a tradition i.i that a "plebe," as members of the fourth class are called, is never regarded on an equal footing with an upper class man until he has completed his that year tit the academy, lie is invariably addressed as Mr. So- .���������ind-so or just plain Jlr. and must always . .uldress upper class men in the same ' formal manner, and. in addition, he must be prolific in his m-e of the word "bir," affixing it to the end of eveiy sentence. If a plebe is asked by an upp?i' class man what his name is. he must reply ".Mr. lb-own. sir," or whatever his name '' may be, und if In? fails to do so he is cor- \ tain to be told to "put n 'sir' on that, ! Mr.," in a way that will usually cause ! him to remember it. Of course, a plebe ' soon learns this, and there is no longer any trouble with him on that score. j An amusing anecdote is told of a raw ', country lad who leported at West Point j a i'ow yeius ago concerning this use of ; | the word ".sir." When the new cadets j jiepeit nt the academy, they first visit J tho adjutant's ofiice, where they deposit , their credentials and give information . concerning their parents or guardians , and their former careers. Next they visit \ the treasurer's oflice and deposit what money they may havo with them, and ' then they go to tbe barrack,, where they , report to tho cadet officer iu charge of their instruction. It is hero that they re- j ceive their first taste of military disci- 1 pliue. Well, this young man passed I through tho preliminaries, finally reach- i ing the barracks, and after several nt- j tempts to enter the oflice in a.milituryj manner find to. the satisfaction of 'the j austere-lieutenant in charge he was ask- ' ed by that functionary what his name.! ..was., ������������������". ���������:... ''������������������ I ".Tohn Smith," answered the lad. ��������� ' "Suppose you ftut a 'sir' on that!" cried J the.cadet officer, forgetting for the mo-v .'ment in his assumed wrath the-equally:;j heinous omission of the "Mr." , j "Sir John Smith," innocently replied j the plebe, and supposed he had obeyed to ' ;the letter his superior's injunction. For | 'the next few minutes thnt poor plebe's j ilife was a burden to him, for all the ca- i (lets about the room nt once began | ���������'crawling" him for his: supposed ��������� at- j :icmpt at, facetiousness. The name:''Sir 1 A plebe's first ni-jhl on guard is generally an unpleasant experience for him, lor, besides the official visits of the various ollicois and noncommissioned officers charged with lii.s instruction, to see that he understands all the line points of his duties as a sentinel, he is sure to bo visited by a legion of spooks, hobgoblins and \.irious other unauthorized individuals. An incident of this hind is related where a yoailing, wiapped in a sheet, appealed on the post of a plebe sentinel at night. "Halt!" shouted tlie plebe, 'Who is there?" "Moses and tho Ten Commandments," came tho response. The poor plebe thought there was something irregular, but he remembered his instructions about never allowing more than one to advance at a lime at night, ���������o he promptly shouted: ���������'Advance, one commandment, to bo leregnir.ed." A fnvoiile pnnhne among cadets for ���������iciiornt'ons past lias been to capture a 1-ind tortoise and after taps at night to- tart him across tlie parade with a light- i.(l candle on li's back. As a consequence 'sniny a plebe has been severely "jump- "d" for permitting1'! light i" nnprooch or ' :oss his post. She Jfnit Have Iind a Rival.

Mr. Thorueycroft, England's torpe- ,Tohn" stuck to him throughout his entire | do boat builder, has been expressing submarine ���������career nt the academy and'even followed , interesting liim into the army. ; It has been the custom in the corps from time immemorial to "devil" plcbea during their first encampment; A great many of the practices indulged in are perfectly innocent, and so long as the up- !per class men conliue themselves to them there is little or no opposition from the '.authorities. , ',. >'" An incident illustrative of this is told 'by un oUlcer who was walking in the rear of Company IP's tents one afternoon 'ia one of the ������ncampmeuts of the cadets ut West Point, lie heard u voice from the body of the encampment shouting in stentorian tones: "I'm mad! I'm. mad! I know I'm mad!" Wondering what the trouble was, ha walked a short distance farther- and looked between the tents. There he saw in a tent across the company street a great, strapping plebe,' 'over six feet tall and weighing more than 200 pounds, creeping on his hands and knees about the tent like a caged Hon and every minute or two giving vent to the cry that lie' was mad. Stopping for a moment to take iu the situation fully, the officer henrd a mild and persuasive voice from a nearby tent say: "Put more feeling in it, mister. Sny it as if you meant it." The officer, perceiving that the wholo thing was only an innocent form of devilment contrived by some ingenious yearling, made no report of it, but went on his way. Another amusing incident of this kind occurred one quiet Sunday afternoon, when most of the cadets were asleep in their tents und the visitors' seats in front of the camp parade were nearly opinions on boats. He does not believe it necessary for Great Britain to build submarine boats, even if the experiments of other nations have boon quite successful. He is carefully studying the problem, of devising a submarine destroyer should it ever be necessary. Mr. Thorueycroft regards: the American submarine boat as. the best type yet made, but he doubts its . efficacy even, for harbor defences. "A shell dropped in the neighborhood of ������. submarine boat," said Mr. Thorney- croft, "and exploded either level or below it would afford sufficient shock to crumple up tho boat. Possession of a submarine boat of your own will not help you to find an enemy's. They are at present of too limitod range and insufficient propelling power to bo really a serious factor, and the unsatisfactory problem of keeping a level keel undor water is yet to be ��������� solved. If I ever have to go under water with a submarine boat I will prater to sit outside." In spite of the pessimistic opinions of Mr. Thorneyoroft, the British Admiralty has at last decided to grant a, (submarine boat designed by jr. _. Howard of Tasmania an official trial.

BREAKFAST-SUPPER- THE MINING REVIEW���������Saturday, December. 15" 1900. The SATURDAY, DECEMBER 15, 1900. It is of course now too late in the day for tho present council to consider proper street lighting; but it is to be hoped tlie imcoming council will employ every effort to secure a proper service. The city council of Nelson has come to the conclusion that Nelson is disgraced by Mayor Houston's suspension of of its fire chief, for what turns out to be nothing but his personal feeling against that official. Nelson will get enough of Houston's methods, if it has not its fill already. The trouble with the man is he is an autocrat of the most radical type. to rent a place and open business, the price asked for ground rent alone is large enough for ground, premises and all, and he backs out and leavea, and so on all along the line. It would be of immense benefit to the place if the people would organize a Board of Trade, at which all thepe matters, even though many of them are of a personal nature, could be threshed out, and ell'ectuallv settled for the welfare of the entire com:nunit\. IF YOU WANT ANYTHING IN Larcteau Railways. What the incoming government, or rather the Laurier government re-vamped, will do for the mining interests of li. C. it is hard to foretel. During tlie late bye-elections the people spoke as if lhey were satisfied with matters as they are; but possibly there are many in the country who care more for party success than they do for provincial advancement. We are annually paying heavy royalties on coinage in England, and employing operatives there thatwould be employed here if we only had a mint. We are besides importing annually from the United States large quantities of silver and loud manufacturers that would be ptoduced here, while we are exporting both metals, if we only had a proper adjustment of.the tariff, and it; remains to be seen whether or not it is-going to come. If it does not the government can say we took it,that from your votes yuu were satisfied with things as they are. That eminent Biblical scholar, educationist and theologian, yclept McAdam, .has come to the conclusion that Christ is not divine, that the Bible is���������'< a fraud, that orthodox religions are superstitious fakes, and that the churches have done more harm than good. As a result all the clergymen of Canada and believers of the world stand dumbfounded. Christianity has met with many setbacks, but never before has it received a crushing blow. For this service, McAdam concludes he is the hero of the hour with the mining fraternity of the American west. Western life has in varying degrees changed the ways of many residents of the mining camps; but all the same very few will sympathise with this burst of ignorance. Though Galilleo was imprisoned for his views 011, astronomy, but the world nioved on"all the same; and we take it Christianity will stand as a religion, after the flare of our confrere has run its ubiquitous course and disappeared from the records of this mundane sphere. To the exclusion of politics and all other matters, with the exception of mining, says the Topic, railway speculation takes iirst- place in Trout Lake. The C.P.R. surveyors are now working in the district, .and although it is not known for certain what their aim is, it is believed beyond a doubt that the coporation employing these men intends to begin construction early in the spring. Some differences of opinion have arisen as to which end will be constructed first, but the iact that the southern end of the line for almost half tlie district lias been graded, while the northern section has not been touched, will exert a very strong influence on the future movements of the company. It is thcopimon of the majority of people in here that the southern portion will be built first, and for the time being only to the foot of Trout lake, unless the K. & L. D. poople arouse themselves to action as it is reported they have intentioonof doing in the spring. If this happens we may expect to have the line constructed right through the Trout Take and Lardo valleys to deep water at Comaplix, with a branch line from Trout Lake to the mines around Ten Mile, Eight Mile and Circle City. It is to be devoutly hoped that the rumor of K. & L. D. activity has foundation in fact for it would be the means forcing the hand of the C. P. R. and cause them to open up the extremely rich section up the Fibh river valley and along its , numerous tributaries. This latter section has created ii. great deal of attention during the past summer from the richness of the strikes made and tlie magnitude of the development operations pursued there so .that there is very little doubt but that in building any line of railway through the valley of the Lardo river and Trout lakes Ot_l__3_-,;5^- .

If another advises rigid discipline in the schools, (and with-, out which they will never succeed,) he is amuck of many, of some who have no children at all to send. If a third advises a little more of the ways of the old 6taid places of the east, some who think their particular business would suffer thereby, no matter how much the whole place would profit by, the whole faction is in arms.

Anyone who has ever been in Sandon of the old days���������that typical western mining town pinched in between the everlasting hills���������will remember the Balmoral House, kept in the early days by three brothers McDonald���������Sandy, Donald and Colin, says the Vancouver , Province. Detectives who visited the town said they were Scotch. . About the same time there came to Sandon . a mining superintendent who was also Scottish to a degree, and who did not believe that a man could by any chance earn his wages in amine unless he too was a son of the thistle. There were McDonalds galore in Sandon forthwith���������mostly from the County Bruce, which Isn't exactly in Scotland, but may be classed as a demned sight worse whatever. Naturally all the MoDonalds put up at the Balmoral with the hrithers Mc- ��������� Donald, and a man that wasn't frae the PJighlanda (or the County Bruce) had a mighty good chance to starve to death at the bountiful board, simplv because ! no one kenned what he wanted when he asked for anything���������and therefore didn't passit to him. When anyone casually ' remarked "have a drink, Mac,"it cost him in even money about eleven dollars and a half, and all the little pigeon holee in the letter rack were knocked into one, which was labelled "M." After a time the mines closed down��������� or got a new superintendent, which was just the same to the clan McDonald��������� and the Balmoral ultimately closed its doors. A receiver took charge and com- -menced the preparation of a statement for the creditors���������but gave it up in despair. Thero were two cigar boxes filled with bar I. O. U.'s, and everyone of them had McDonald written on the back of it���������tho book showed a total of1 one hundred and twenty-three debtors to the house for board. They were all of the name of McDonald. Tl_e_ Big Stox-e Dry Goods e NewlSilk Waists, New Dress Patterns, ������ ������ MkTts��������� " Eiderdowns Umbrellas " Flanneletts New Silk Handkerchiefs.

Tlie best plan seems to be to provide a suitable tread power with a,governor attached, place the bull in this daily, and let him . walk a fixed tiem, or known distance. The main object should be regular and sufficient exercise for tho bull. Incidentally, he may bo made ,to run a fodder cutter or a cream separator and perform valuable service. As age and strength increase, lot the staff bo supplement-' with a strong strap around horns or neck. Let there bo always a double hitching device, so that tho bull may never by accident find himself loose when he should be tied. If restivc- ness and temper are shown, add to the exercise in duration or quantity, without violence; a bull physically tired may be depended upon to be quiet and easily managed. " It is much better to keep the bull as much as possible in the presence or in full sight of the herd than stabled by himself in a lonely place Let him be in tho same room with cows during tho stabling season, and at milking' times the rest of tho year." i {Xjlli:A ������V*VtV������Vi'rViV/rt ,'r A, ., ,VVi, t cvu> ��������� /c7������'< ver.-,;, !

But almost always it is a bull that has been more or less handled and not one that has been running loose constantly with a herd i ed by strap, chain or rope attached and therefore open to suspicion of be- to a second ring. To this may well be ing wild and possibly dangerous. These, j addeo some hitching or leading chain tragedies occur so ' often that we think some suggestions by Henry E. Alvord, Chief of the Dairy Division of the Bureau of Animal Industry at Washington, ought to be placed within reach of all who keep one or more bulls. It is a fact well known by regular stockmen that any bull may be very dangerous; it is also just as well known that any bull properly trained, kept in subjeotion,and managed'may bo peil'ectly safe. "We" quoto tho suggestions for training and management entire: " The chief objection mado to bulls of soime. age is that they are likely to be vicious and dangerous. Every one recognizes tho difference in temperament between the fleshy, beefy bull and the one of pronounced dairy character ; but experience and observation have taught that the bulls of marked dairy type are much aliko in disposition, regardless of breed, as among men, some bulls will be found of naturally bad temper, but it is believed that tho great majority of bulls of all the dairy breeds, can be safely kept until too old for service and handled without serious trouble, if only properly roared and judiciously managed. " In rearing a bull, accustom it to being handled from calfhood, but without fondling or encouraging frolic. Give it kind, quiet, f jrm and unvarying treatment, and keep it always under subjection, that it may never know its strength and power. Insert the nose ring before it is a year old, keep this'renewed so as to be always 3trong, and always lead and handle the animal with staff in the hands of a discreet and trusty man. The bull should, never run loose in yard or pasture, but should be provided with abundant and regular exercise, always under ' restraint, and full control.

The horse that is compelled to pull his hay from a rack above his head will generally be troubled by inflammation of the eyes. When he throws up his head and noses the hay all the loose dirt and seeds will fall from the hay, and the horso will get more or less of it in his eyes. Much trouble may be caused by such racks, even with the best and cleanest of hay. Lower the racks. When the horse is suffering from collar and harness rubbing bathe the sore spots in lukewarm water and cas- tile soap, and after drying thorough-, ly with a .soft cloth, apply.with witch hazel.
