town ot Kamenskoje, way up In north- i M

eastern Siberia, on the.Penshina gulf, nearly every one d<>< it. The house is shaped like a perpendicular X. Starting with a ground floor that Is about 25 feet In diameter, ilie frame walls, constructed roughly of driftwood, lean inward for about 12 feet, then turn outward for another 10 or 12 feet. They do not touch each other in the center, but leave an opening of from three to five feet wide. That opening is the door, the window, the chimney, all In one. A pole rests against the outer side of the bouse high enough to reach the top of the structure. On the upper side of the pole steps are carved in which to insert the toes when climbing. A similar pole, set upright in the center of the house and up through the chimney, is also furnished with steps for ascent and descent. The first effect of this strange arrangement Is that visitors are recognized, not by their faces, but by their feet. The house Is so constructed that the fireplace Is directly underneath the chimney. Naturally, the smoke goes up to greet the newcomer, and soot covers every side of the chimney, ready to attach itself to Idm. The pot is always hanging over the tire, full of melting snow or boiling water and fish or reindeer meat. The man up the chimney is dressed in heavy furs, the hairy side turned outward. As he conies in touch with pole and chimney a gentle spray of hairs comes easily drifting down, accompanied by showers of soot. *The pot below is usually open. Hence the food Is mingled with hairs and soot. Henson exists for the peculiar shape of tlie Kamenskoje house or yurt. During the worst of winter no doors or windows at the side of the yurt would avail. Tlie snow piles up on every side as high as the house itself. Then the people can walk straight up to the chimney, and the dogs crowd around Hie opening in the top for warmth and to enjoy the rising odor of cooking fish and reindeer. Sometimes one dog pushes another down the chimney. If the cover of the pot is ofl the recep tion proves rather too warm for the unfortunate victim. But Ivan is there to catch him by the neck and take him to the top of the house, where the snow will so,,u reduce the heat of his Misters. The episode has not spoiled tlie dinner. In spite of the fire within, the house is not comfortably heated because of tlie opening on top. Snow, too, comes easily drifting in. It Is necessary, therefore, to have tents inside the house. They are made of heavy furs, and are placed on the wooden platform that surrounds the fire. In these pologs tlie dwellers find refuge when the smoke becomes too trying or the atmosphere too frigid. Inside the polog stands a woolen bowl of seal’s oil with dried moss floating on Its surface, to be lighted at the pleasure of the occupant.

BOSS BUFFALO LICKED Famous Herd Leader Meets His Kingly Downfall.

Of Course Not. Illustrative of Hie time, Amos W. Butler, secretary of the hoard of slate charities, tells tlie following story of un occurrence in :( certain Indiana count} not so very long ago: There was a poor family In n township. The father was a wanderer and of not much necount. There were six children and the mother was left most of the time to provide for them. The township trustee had been helping the family out of the township poor fund. One day a son in the family got into trouble. The sheriff and agent for the county board of guardians drove to the home. Tlie boy was away. The mother seemed anxious to see that the law should have its eourse with the son, and to avoid an extra trip and expense the sheriff suggested: “Well, then. I’ll not come out after him when he comes back, but you bring him In." “Why, I can’t bring him In now." explained the woman, “our machine’s broke."—Indianapolis News.

“Old Scotty," Shipped to Washington From South Dakota, Is Put Out in Seven-Hour Battle With Younger Bull. Weiias Prairie, Wash.—“Old Scotty,” for years leader of Hie famous herd of buffalo near Pierre, S. I)., but recently shipped here with several hundred of Ids kind, has met his kingly downfall. He has been dethroned, and by a younger and stronger bull. The terrific fight, in which fences and sheds were demolished and huge holes dug in tlie earth, and “Old Seotty.” hli*eding, haggard, was vanquished, lasted .seven hours. A new bull, “Yakimaii" by name, reigns supreme, having gained the title by the self-same tactics used by tlie old buffalo years ago on the Dakota prairies. On arrival here the herd of buffalo, purchased by local capitalists, were liberated in un extensive fenced area of hills and valleys. “Scotty” was haughtily parading his 3,000 pounds of selfishness when a picturesque young bull, nearly equal in size, made a vicious lunge at Hie wrinkled old king. “Scotty” swung and caught the blow with ids head. Then started the battle, the most remarkable ever witnessed in this section of the West. Great calm setthHl over the big herd as l he two fighters bellowed and roared. The fighters pawed earth, plunged and tore at each other with horns and hoofs. The battle scene shifted back and forth on the prairie for seven hours, when darkness allowed "Old Scotty" to lose his adversary and limp painfully away. Yakima Indians who saw tlie animals fighting are now fearful lest these animals, so near their reservation, break out of the confines and invade their villages. It is estimated by the owners of this newly established herd that there will be an annual Increase of 50 calves. If as anticipated then each autumn 50 of the largest animals will be slaughtered for the Pacific Coast markets.

A SONG FOR EACH STATE

Statue of Christ as Peace Symbol. Archbishop Glentum, of St. Louis, in | a sermon the other duy, said that the Christian people of the world should construct a huge statue of Christ, using material from scrapped battleships and cannons, and place it upon a mountain top to stand as a symbol of lasting peace. “The nations of Christendom,'’ lie said, “should at this tirue. when the armament conference at Washington is attempting to prevent future wars, express their unanimous longing for peace by planning the erection of the statue to the Prince of Peace.”

Brilliant Sign Has Few Lights. An electric sign recently tried out with success replaces the individual lamps in the rim of the letter with small mirror reflectors, according In Popular Mechanics Magazine. These reflect tlie light supplied by two 25•Mitt lamps, placed near the center of the letter and titled with opaque caps so as to be Invisible from the front An arrangement of this kind will effee* a considerable saving in lamp renewal and current consumption.
