"Don't you see Mr. Brown?" Cried the youth with. a frown, -How wrong- the whole thing. is? How preposterous eath wing le? How flattened the head is? how jammed down the neck is !

"in each cabin is the large fireplace, which is used f* both heating • and cooking." said Lieutenant W. 13. Scheutze, who has traveled in northwest Siberia. "There is seldom more than one room in 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 prevented from trampling on the babies by a bar. The houses are commonly very comfortable, but are very 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 outside, with the thermometer 50 degrees below zero'than sleep in one Of these huts. But you've no idea what a man can stand when he has to." "nave they windows in their hous- es?" 1 "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 i feet square, and with water is made solid- The water is as good as putty. 'When the window becoines dirty •they scrape it off with a knife, and when it has been scraped thin they substitute a new pane." " Dosen't the window- ever melt?" "Bless you, no; it is freezing cold that far from the fire. If the room ever got warm enough to melt the ice the Yakut couldn't live in it, and wonld have* to go out doors to cool off. At night the fire is allowed to go out, as they have to economize in fuel. All they have is driftwood, gathered on the banks of the Lena river in the summer I time." • ; "flow do they sleep? Do they un- dress when they go to bed ?" ; 1 •‘ Always. They strip to their shirts, whieli are made of a thick sort of Rus- sian cloth, as heavy as our canvas. The men and women wear the same kind of garments, and never have more than one at a time. I took tip a lot of thick flannel for them, enough to last the rest of their lives, and it will be a m great deal ore comfortahle than tie native stuff, although they .lon't like it at first. ' When they undress they et into bunks built in the , side of the house, sometimes a man, liis wife, and all his children in the same bunk. They have reindeer skin4 under and over them, and curtains of the satme hanging before the buuks." "Do they ever bathe ?" "Never in their lives. hey haven't any word for bathing in their lan guage, and the impossibility of •keep- ing clean is one of the greatest hard- ships of Arctic life." "What do they eat ?" "Reindeer meat, beef—they have cows, queer -looking animals about half as large as ours, with a hummock on dear; say stout." At the dinner table their backs like a catnel—fish, bread on the following day, Barty was asked made of black rye flour, tea, and an imported food made of chopped beef, rolled into "balls about the size of a marble and 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 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, ctits .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 alcohol -lamp, by way of variety. The greatest luxury they have is blitter, and they will eat it by the pound as our people eat confeetionery.1 A poor sort ofinitter is made from the milk of a , native eow, that looks and tastes more like cheese, and. they prize it above all -` other classes of food. The amount of butter a native will, eat when he can get it," continued Lieu- tenant Scheutze, "is astonishing. A friend of mine in Siberia told me of a man who ate thirty-six pctunds in one day, and then didn't get all he wanted. They have a way of ,pounding up a red betty and mixing it with1'butter, which gives it'a beautiful pink tint and improves the flavor. • Their drink is the Russian vodka, almost pure alealiol, and they will trade their shirts for it. ; The liquor is scarce and expensive, so they are neces- sarily a temperate people."—Cincinnati Sun. by a natural and easy transition befo_e 111 Yan ees " became transformed info 'I' Yew eeee."

It has a longer head, a larger 'grain, and will yield at the lowest calculation 10 busliels per acre more than the common variety of learley, besides it is recommended by the breveers as being equal to the common barley for their purposes.
