STRANGE SIBERIAN HON8ES One Knters Ry a Hole in the R?1<>f ami Climbs Down a Dole. There are many kinds of queer houses in the world, but for difficulty of ingress and egress the huts of some Siberian fur hunters, KorvakB by name, take the paiui. Prom a distance these houses have the appearance of hug*- funnels rising out of snowliank. The craterlike top of the house, besides forming a roof, is used as a general storage place for food and all Borts of articles. This slopes j downward to an aperture in the) centre which serves as a smoke hole, ventilator and passa?geway. A number of logs arranged in a circle support the rickety fromework of the roof, the lower end of which rests on a secondary pile of timbers terming the walls of the living quorte-s. For nearly nine months the whcle house is covered up to the projecting roof with tons of ??vw, i-uiunea ana irozen earui and debris, the inmates being about j ten feet below the surface. The most peculiar feature of the] house, according to Fur News, is the means of entrance. This is j accomplished by scaling a narraw split log, having holes cut in for feet and hands, which extends down from the roof at an angle of almost 90 degrees. Getting inside is a feat which none but the experienced native can accomplish with comfort. The interior is reached by descending another perpendicular tree log stairway with a slippery coating of grease and soot. A misplaced step of any visiting white fur trader or agent would result in his landing in a pot of blubber always kept boiling at the base. The whole enclosure has a ground floor, and is barren of anything in the shape of furniture. A large vessel for cooking seal and blubber and a kettle used for melting snow are the chief household utensils. The diet is limited almost exclusively to raw and half cooked seal and whale, with Russian brick tea and American tobacco as an extra luxury. Before enterinii one of these Arc tic households it is customary for Ihe white visitor or trader to send word ahead prior to his arrival. On reaching the house he will usually find assembled on the roof awaiting him the host and all his family, including dogs. Dogs play an important part in their primitive religion and are thought to he a potent agency for keeping away evil spirits and bringing good luck in the hunting of fur animals. For this reason the stuffed form of a dog is always kept dangling from the rooftop of the ho-uses. A Notable Indian Woman. Mrs. Narcissa Owen, ,80 years old. mother of United States Senator Robert L. Owen, died at Guthrie, July 11, as the result of injuries ieceived some weeks before in a fall. She was a Cherokee Indian, a native of Webbers Falls, in old Indian territory, and had achieved fame as an author and artist. Her prn'cipal book was a history of the Cherokee Indians. Mrs. Owen's history was full of interest from the time her father, Chief Robert Chisholm, died until she had educated herself and was self-sustaining, having a position in the Masonic High School at Fort Sm'th, Ark. It was there that she fi;st met Dr. Robert Latham Owen, of Virginia, who became her husband. With 500 other women from her section during the civil war she made uniforms day and night. She nursed the wounded and gave her all to feed the Southern army when evil days fell upon it. After her widowhood Mrs. Owen returned to teaching An artist of more than ordinary boldness and talent and a musician of unusual attainments,she made an excellent living.She taught i?i cne of the schools until after her son, Robert Lantham Owen, the senator fiom Oklahoma, became Indian agent and a lawyer of fair promise. Mrs. Owen until three years ago was as erect and sturdy as one of the warriors o* her race, but she then suffered a stroke of paralysis. Her home was full of fascinating trophies of the heroic days of her life and she could tell as thrilling a story as Cooper could pen. It was Mrs. Owen's father who received from Thomas Jefferson the famous peace medal which, marked the perfect harmony of the United I States government and the Cherokee tribe. Mrs. Owem was directly descended from Queen Quatsis, lineal successor of the original chiefs of Cherokee blood of many years ago, and was herself one-sixtieth Cherokee. Practically all along the line Mrs. Owen boasted an ususual ancestry. One of the intimate traits of the inemJbers of the Owen fam- j ily, a characteristic which, by the way, had much to do with their | woriuiy success, was ineir inaominate will. This came through | Mrs. Norcissa Owen and her ances-1 tors.?Kansas City Star. SOME OI>l> HAIIjINC CRAFTS. Vessels ??f the Arlent Never Seen In American Waters. There are still in service sailing vessels of various build and rig, an*' I one of which would attract crowns < f sightseers did it make its ap-! pearance in New York harbor. Hut | there is little chance ot that, for. these add crafts are never seen in\ any waters but their own. Depend- i ent entirely on sails or occasionally oars, they were all In existence Ions ' before the Clermont made her fa- j me us passage up the Hudson. Take as example the felucca, a small swift sailing vessel propelled by oars or lateen sails peculiar to the Mediterranean. Its Italian name is feluca, Spanish faluca, Portugese fulua. It is an undecked vessel, with a high stern and a long bow. It carries as many as three masts, each fitted with a yard on which is stretched a triangular sail. These yards when bare and aslant tho mast recall the old fashioned weil sweep once so common on New England farms. AC* ? . V .. .. .. " - ? Another Mediterranean vessel rapidly becommiug obsolete, says the Nautical Gazette, is the ketch, derived from tTie Turkish quaig. A small vessel, going all the way up I to 300 tons, it was formerly quite' common. It carries two masts set; well aft and square rigged. The i mainmast towers high above the! other. The large spread of can- j vnss aft is balanced by the large ' and numerous sails forward. The xebec, Spanish jabaque, Ital-| ian sciabecco, is from theTurkish word meaning a small ship. It is a small three masted vessel used in the Mediterranean for transporting merchandise. Square or lateen sails are employed. Both bow and i stern are remarkable for the small angle they make with the water. The sides are low and the upper deck has much slope for drainage. This style of vessel was formerly used by corsairs. The tartan. French tartane, Spanisn, Portuguese and Italian tar tana, is of Arabic origin. It is a small coasting vessel used in the Mediterranean, having one mast to carry a large lateen sail and a bowsprit! with staysail of jib. The dobabi yeh (American dahabeah ) is pecu- j liar to the Nile and is as curious! | aj it is picturesque. An American ' writer says: "It is almost sacrilege I to journey up this river and through j this old, old land in a puffing steamboat and one longs for the i towering lateen sails of the daha' bean and the soft hush, hush of the waters as they glide past its keel.It is furnished with one niiist,; | sometimes two, with a yard which suppott* a t' langul.n sail. It is j j constructed on the model of floating j house, with s.niple room for passen- j ! gers It has considerable breadth j at the stern, which is round. It narrows toward the prow, which has! | a sharp and gracefully curving cut- j Water. It has a deck fore and j aft and in the centre are seats for j rowers when oars are nwiimi tI propel the vessel. Leaving Egypt and entering the j Red Sea we encounter the evil ; omeivd though, familiar in name at least to most of us perhaps be; cause of its connection with the I slave trade. It's to be found not only in the Red Sea, but also in | the Indian Ocean. This vessel usu-j i ally iB from 150 to 200 tons and is generally fitted with one mast ofj ' immense length. Its stern rises i with a long slope from the water. ! | This craft was formerly employed! in transporting slaves from the | east coast of Africa, but thanks I chiefly to the vigilance and activity jof the British navy this form of; I commercial enterprise is now ex1 tinct. The patamar is a vessel used in ; i the coasting trade of Bombay and! Ceylon. It has an upward curve i j amidships which extends only about j , half the length of the vessel. The ! Pateli is peculiar to the Ganges. A large flat bottomed boat, forty to sixty feet long, it is lightly made and capable of conveying heavy cargo. Suimounted by a large shed nearly as long as the boat it carries a single large square sail. The proa, a sailing canoe native to the Ladrone Islands and Malay Archipelago, enjoys the reputation of heling the swiftest sailing craft 1 known. The junk is probably better known than any other native craft. as it is used by more people than ! any other. It is used by the peoj pie of Japan, China, Siam and Mai laysia. The word in the Portuguese is jutico, which in turn comes 1 from the Cantonese word jonk. A , I big vessel without keel or prominent j stern and with huge masts in one I piece, 't is sometimes as large as | 1,000 tons. It is to be met with i in all the ports of eastern Asia. It has an ungainly hull, high stern j arjJ. low bow. The wood work of the hull is Istrong and beautifully put togeth-| er and does credit to the patience and skill of the Chinese shlphuild-j ; ers. The sails, which are of coarse matting, are bent to a yard, which is hoisted to the top of the mast. The sails are stiffened with bainbi o poles placed horizontically. Most large junks are good seaboats and ride out In safety to the severest typhoon. Second-Crop Cotton. The other day a gentleman from the lower Rio Grand valley appeared on the floor of the Houston cotton exchange and exhibited a novelty in the way of a cotton stalk that attracted universal interest. It was a thrifty-looking Otollr J yv..? I I* C a U , uiiub, iuui iuiu v?nc-iiaii ibbi in B". and containing one hundred I and fifty bolls and squares, j It was represented as a fair sample | of the twelve-acre field from which it was cut. The peculiarity which j made it of interest consisted in the j fact that it was a second growth stalk. After picking nine bales, the planter irrigated the patch and new \ shoots sprang up from rr>ot and will i have plenty of time to mature at ( least a bale to the acre. This was | off of the land which this year produced the earliest bale of cotton ever marketed. Neighboring farmers are treating their lands in a Simi-I lar manner, some cutting down the ' old stalk while others planted new seed in between the old rows, and | all have a fine prospect of profit- ( This "incident is surprising in able results. This incident is surprising in that it makes possible a double crop of cotton in a year from a single planting, but that is an extremely .limited area for the season elsewhere is too brief to permit of; growth unit frilltuuo fni> ihon one cro-p, and that not always en- i tirely satisfactory. The early frosts often do their deadly work before the crop is fully ripe and ready for the pickers. The Texans will have to discover a good deal more such land before a second croj) of cotton has any appreciable effect 011 the market.?Observer. FOIl SALK. ? FIFTY PlItK llKKl> Minorca chickens.
