Awfnl Fate of Rnnlaa Prisoner la
Kline of Haichulin.
A writer In Leslie's Weeklv elves a
praphlc seeount of the horrors of prison
lire at tue Hussian convict station .
Saghalln, an Island lu the Sea of
Okhotsk.
The total number of convicts at pres-
' em quartered on Saghalln Is estimated
at nearly 10.W), nnd one cannot pouder
i over the lot of these miserable people
i w uuout a mint-led shudder of gloom
and horror. The minor malefactors
are seldom consigned to the mines,
which, lu a measure, is an amelioration
of their punishment, but or the gates
, of Saglmlln they may figuratively read,
"All hope abandon ye who enter here."
No distinction Is made for age, sex or
condition. The prisoners, so soon as
tney are lnnded. are sorted accordinc
to their rigor of the punishment to
which they hnve been condemned. The
lesser criminals, chained nnd logged to
j guard ngainst possible escape, are glv
j en occupation above ground as tillers
! of the soil or prison attendants, sub
ject to the potty whims and cruelty of
siiDoruiimte ollicials. Unceasing toil,
curses, semi-starvation, the "plot," a
terrible loaded whip, Is henceforth
their daily lot; but It is a bed of roses
compared with the future condition of
the more unfortunate degenerates,
those guilty of real heinous crimes,
and those whom Russian officialdom
fears even more, political malefactors.
These prisoners, so soon as thev nre
lauded, are assigned to a distinctive
number and huddled pell-mell, like a
horde of wild beasts, Into one of the
gaping holes in the mountain sides.
From that day until death fortunately
relieves their sufferings they are con
demned to a life of the most abject
misery, degradation and hardship. The
vast subterranean chnnnels become
populous avenues of wild-eyed, frantic
maniacs. The most brutal immorali
ties are prevalent: chlldreu are born,
but no distinction Is made for their con
dition; the steel-hearted overseers give
them a distinctive number if they sur
vive to u proper age; Infanticide is en
couraged and abetted, nnd thenceforth,
although guiltless of- all crime, they
suffer the fate of their parents.
Down in the dark bowels of the
earth, denied even a pittance of sun
shine or fresh air, these Ood-forsaken
unfortunates toil on endlessly, until
lirst files spirit, then reason hideous,
shrunken, tortured, gnomes and ma
niacs, they labor on till their doom Is
happily cut short by death's welcom
ing hand. One or two, or at the ut
most, five years of this living, death
prevails over the most vigorous vital
ity; more often long before that time
the miserable wretch ends all by sui
cide. Small wonder It is that most of
them live but n few months; their
deaths nre reported by the overseer,
nnd In sickening farce the priest is sent
for, sprinkles the accursed spot with
water, and in an unknown grave they
nre unceremoniously buried. Some
times the thrill of liberty is too strong
to he resisted; a sudden frenzy to es
cape light up the emhruted breasts
with the faint hope of despair, and,
goaded to fury, the bolder spirits start
nn Insurrection, overpower theirguards
nnd rush toward the shelter of the
gloomy mountain fastnesses. Like
mad dogs, they are trailed, surrounded
by soldiers aud shot down with no com
punction. Fairer than the Kose.
A young matron who lives In a
Wushingtou apartment house with her
little daughter. Is viewing with great
interest a courtship going on uuder her
very eyes. The daughter, Naomi, is
,.ie most engaging, dignified nud duti
ful little girl of 11 ever seen lu that
part of the city across the creek. So
she has been takeu by her mother to
call on a great many older persons aud
has made the acquaintance of numer
ous hoys of 15 or thereabouts. Not
loug ago one of these boys came to see
bis friend's mother very formnlly and
sat and talked with her uuttl the tens
ity of a formal call nearly burst his
jacket. Then he arose with a polite
bow and asked for a portrait of the
little girl. The matron demurred, of
course.
"Well," said the young suitor, "If
you will give me a good picture of
Naomi I will give you hack a picture
I have already. It isn't a good one
at all. But I'll give It back to you for
a better one."
The mother was greatly mystified.
She decided after awhile that the boy
had photographed her little girl on the
sly, and in order to find out she sent
him word should make the exchanjip.
Next day there caine to her door a
long box with a note on the outside.
"1 am greatly privileged to send you
Naomi's picture," read the note. "It
Isn't half as pretty as it ought to be."
The young matron opened the box
curiously, says the Washington Star,
and looked at Its contents a long time
without saying a word. It held a sin
gle American beauty rose.

CONGRESSMAN FITZPATRICK
Says Pe-ru-na is a Splendid Ca
tarrhal Tonic.
Congressman T. Y. Fitzpatrick.
Hon. T. Y. Fitzpatrick, congressman
from Kentucky, writes from the
National Hotel, Washington, D. C, as
follows: '
"At the solicitation of a friend I used
your Peruna andean cheerfully recom
mend your remedy to anyone suffering
with catarrh or who needs a good
tonic."T. Y. FITZPATRICK.
A Goofl Tonic.
Pe-ur-na is a natural and efficient
nerve tonic. It strengthens and re
stores the activity of every nerve in the
body.
Through the use of Te-ru-na the
weakened or overworked nerves resume
their natural strength and the blood
vessels begin at once to regulate the
flow of blood according to nature's laws.
Congestions immediately disappear.
C-Htarrh Cured.
All phases of catarrh, acute or chron
ic, are promptly and permanently
cured. It is through its operation
upon the nervous system thnt Te-ru-na
has attained such a world-wide refuta
tion as a sure and reliable remedy for
all phases of catarrh wherever locat-d.
If you do not derive prompt and sat
isfactory results from the use of Peru
na, write at once to fir. Hartman, giv
ing a full statement of your case and he
will be pleased to give you his valuable
advice free.

To-day is a good time to begin (if you
have not already done so) to take Vogeler's
Curative Compound. That nervous trouble,
that dull headache, that bad taste in the
mouth when awakening in the morning with
the usual offensive breath, that poor appetite
for breakfast, indigestion, dull, heavy feeling
of the stomach, that tired feeling are all
evidence of a weak digestion and impura
blood, which can be cured permanently by
taking Vogeler's Curative Compound. Tha
cures effected by this marvellous medicine
are not fictitious or temporary, but are real,
radically complete and hence lasting. Send

How Many Bundles Can 1 You Bind lor
Dollar?
To the K.litor: IVar Sir I notirsl
in your lnt issue nn nrtirle Iiomlod
'ToinMon r.iiuliniir Twine," in which
vou call Hit. nti..n to tho (act that the
tarnu-r fIioiiM rienre on how many feet
he gets for a ilnllar. Anyone, without
much tlumcht, wotiM know that In tha
important thintc. ami Mill vie overlook
it, beiiiH rniicht ly the oKI bait ot
cheap price. It is not a question
whether tho twine costn 10 centi a
pound or L'O ceiita a pound, but the ea
aential point is how many bumllca can
we bind for a dollar.
ijist year I wai deceived in thinking
thnt the Standard Manila waa a Manila
twine that would jio 00 feet to the
pound, which imprc"-ioii I pot from
tho dealer, although he may not poni
tively have Muted that ns a fact, but
one thing I do know in that the result
at the end of harvest was that the total
cost of my tw ine wan more, although it '
was less in price per pound than it for
merly had lioon when I used the Ked
Clover Leaf brand of Twine, which we
nil know costs more per ound, but
which I am now convinced is the
cheapest and most satisfactory in the
end. Wo have all used it for a good
many years with pretty general satis
faction, but, in this as in other things,
we feel that it is necessary to make
change, in order, as we imagine, to bet
tor our condition, aud most generally
find thnt tho change does not accom
plish what we expected.
The Manila tw ine, being cheaper per
thousand feet than Sisal, from patriotic
motives we ought to use it, as all the
Manila fiber in the world is produced
in the i'hilippine Islands, and it Is cer
tainly to tho interest of tho 1'ni'ilio
Coast farmer to develop trade with that
country as much as possible, and I
have rend thnt all tho Sisal conies from
Yucatan, with which country we can
have no trade from this coast, and as
long as It does not cost us anything to
be patriotic and trade with our own col
onics, why tthouldif t we do it?
