How People Exist in One of the Cold est Countries in the "World. "In each cabin is a large fire place, which is used for both heat ing and cooking," said Lieutenant W. H. Scheutze, who has traveled in northwest Siberia, speaking to a Cincinnati Sim correspondent, of the inhabitants of that country. "There is seldom more than one room m these cabins, and usually the owner's cattle, if he has any, occupy one end of the room in which he lives, being tied or pre vented from tramping on the babies by a bar. The houses are commonly very comfortable, but are awfull3 dirty, and smell there is no word to describe it. Often, until I got used to it, I would rather lie down in the snow out side with the thermometer .fifty degrees below zero, than sleep in one of these huts. But you've no idea what a man can stand when he has to." "Have they windows in their houses?" "Yes, ice windows. They use ice as we use glass. A clear piece is selected about five or six inches thick, mortised in the window opening in blocks two feet and sometimes as large as four feet square, and with water is made solid. The water is as good as putty. When the window becomes dirty they scrape it ofY with a knife, and when it has been scraped thin they substiuttea new pane." "Doesn't the windowever molt?" "Bless you, no; it is freezing cold that far from the fire. If the room ever got warm enough to melt the ire the Yakut couldn't live in it, and would have to go out doors to cool off. At night the fire is allowed to go out, as they have to economize in fuel Aithey-have is driftwood, gathered-on the banks of the Lena river in the summer time." "How do the' sleep? Do they undress when they go to bed?" "Always. They strip to their shirts, which are made of a thick sort of Russian cloth, as heavy as our canvas. The meu and women wear the same kind of garment, and never have more than one at a time. I took up a lot of thu k flannel for them, enough to las; the rest of their lives, and it ill be a great deal more comfortable than the native stuff, although the' don't like it at first. "When the' undress they get into bunks built in the side of the house, sometimes a man, his wife, and all his children in the same bunk. They have reindeer skins under and over them, and curtains of the same hanging before the bunks." "Do they ever bathe. "Never in their lives. They haven't any word for bathing in their language, and the impossibil ity of keeping clean is one ol the greatest hardships of arctic life." "What do they eat?" "Reindeer meat, beef they hae cows, queer looking animals about halt as large as ours, with a hummock on their backs like a camel fish, bread made of black rye flour, tea and an imported food made of chopped beef rolled into balls about the size of marbles covered with a dough. These they pound up and make into a soup. Then there is a wood that is very nutritious when it is ground up and boiled. Mixed with reindeer meat it makes a very good soup. They often eat their fish raw. Of course they freeze solid as soon as they are taken out of the water, and the native, particularly if he is on the road, cats them off in shavings as thin as our chipped beef, and eats them raw. They are palatable, and I have lived for days at a time on them, with a cup of coffee, made over an alco holic lamp, by way of variety. The greatest luxury they have is but ter, and they will eat it by the pound, as our people eat confec tionery. A poor sort of butter is made from the milk of the native cow, that looks and tastes more like cheese, and they prize it j above all other classes of food. "The amount of butter a native j will eat when he can get it," con- ttnued .Lieutenant acneutze, "is astonishing. A friend in Siberia told me of a man who ate thirty six pounds in one day, and then didn't get all he wanted. They have a "way of pounding up a red berry and mixing it -with butter, which gives it a beautifipl, pink tint and improves the flavoijy Their drink is the Russian vodkagilmost pur alcohol, and they w31 trade their shirts for it. The liquor is scarce and expensive, so tjiey are necessarilv a temperate people.5 In the ancient city of Bail stands a stone with a history like that of Moloch. It stood in front of the chief temple, Vati mi ,Tawaki, which, on a high foundation, tow ered above the many shrines and fanes of Bau. The corpses des tined for cannibal orgies, trailed in their gore along the diisty soil, were dashed by the head against this stone as an offering to the di vinities before being devoured. For at least thirty years this stone has had upon it no stain of human blood, and now it is converted into a baptismal font and stands in the great Bau church. L. P. Rodgers, of the firm of Rodgers and & Whimple, of Klats kanie, returned on Wednesday last from an extended trip to the sound. He informs us that there is great activity in the lumbering business there. The price of lum ber has steadily risen, and first class logs now bring 7.o0 per thousand. Mr. Rodgers feels as sured that the lumber business on the Columbia river the coining season will be the best it has been for some years. Oregon 3fi'sti 55. ITsefttl and Hnrtfnl Medicinei. There is a certain class of remedies for constipation absolutely useless. These are boluses and potions made la great part of podophyllin, aloes, rhubarb, gamboge, and other worthless ingredients The damage they do to the stomachs of those who use them Is incalculable, They evacuat- the bowels, it is true, but always do so violently and profuselv, and besides gripe the how els. Their effect Is to wc-ifceii both them and the stomach. Better ""1 tr to use the agreeable and snlutarv aperitif.
