To enter a vault both men have to be together, and It is a rule of the department that botb shall stay together till the inspection or other object for which the huge safe Is opened Is accomplished. Entering one of these great cages after Ave minutes' working at the combination, one finds himself In a huge room partitioned off In fifteen compartments by steel gratings of the strongest kind. A straight passage six feet wide and the height of the chamber gees down tbe length of the room from the door. At the entrance are stored the bronze coins, the cents, about .$80,000 worth of them, but the amount varies from day to day.

Mosul, on the western bunk of the Tigris, is described In "The Short Cut to India," by David Fraser, as a place of some difficulty for the residents. Prices of every mortal thing are dear er than ajywhere else In Turkey. Water Is procured only from the Ti gris, and every drop required must be carried tberefrotn,in skins upon don keys. Two pounds a month is a very ordinary expenditure on this essential and provides but a"'scanty bath. To go out at night Is to place one's life in Jeopardy. To wall; across tbe bridge in broad daylight Is a danger owing to the frailty of the structure. The bridge Is a wouderful affair and yields an Income of some thousands of pounds annually to the contractor who farms It from the government. Three hundred yards of It Is solid ma sonry and the remaining 150 yards a wooden platform laid upon a row of crazy boats. Where the bridge of boats abuts the shore at one end and the stone bridge at the other are the points of danger, for owing to tbe height of- the river when I was there the Joinings were at a Biope of forty-five degrees and con sisted of narrow gangways up which people, sheep, cattle, donkeys,- mules, horses and camels had to scramble. No wonder there were many fallings Into the water dangerous water, too for It coursed like a cataract between the boats and swirled and boiled in fierce eddies snd whirlpools below the bridge. One poor Zabtie, with rifle slung and bandoliers strapped across his chest, was walking across when bis horse slipped at fie ascent to the boat part of the bridge, and both fell Into the water. The horse was rcucu. um the man wls drowned. Life has small value In Mosul, however, and nobody bothered to mend the huge boles in the bridge or to make Its passage leas precarious.

The Famous and Terrible Russian Fortress of Schluesselburg. In the. middle of the river Neva, where ii flows out of Lake Ladoga, there lies a tipy Island surrounded on three sides by the mighty, turbulent waters of the river and hemmed in upon the fourth by tbe cold and stormy lake. I'pou this island stands a very ancient fortress Inclosed by high walls more than twenty feet In thickness. This Is tbe Fortress of Schluesselburg. Day and night senti nels relieved every two hours pace around tbe top of these walls, keeping a vigilant lookout on every hand. No one from within the fortress, not eveu the soldiers or geudurmeH. Is allowed to communicate with the people who dwell upon the banks of the river. If the unwary fisherman chances to drift In his boat too near to the walls of the fortress he is greeted by the shout of a sentinel, aiming bis rifle: "Away, or 1 shoot V Not even the Dead sea In the deserts of Asia Is so utterly isolated and cut off from the living world as Is this Fortress of Schluesselburg, wblcb lies within forty miles of St. Petersburg. They are very ancient, the high walls of the fortress. In many places they are cracked from old age. and In the cracks little trees hnre taken root. The lower part of the wall has grad ually become covered with thick dark moss. Just as the face of a very old man becomes covered all over with hair.

Ha Bought His Liberty With a Barrel of Crimean Oysters. One of the principal banking houses of St. Petersburg is said to have been fountled by a man who for a great part of his life was a serf. Even in his condition of serf dom he was a wealthy banker arid, as may readily bo imagined, mado many attempts to procure his free dom" The story goes that he of fered 1,000,000 rubles for his lib erty, but that bis master, Count Sheremctieff, proud of possessing such a serf, refused to liberate him. Tho liberation was, however, finally procured and at a much low er price than that mentioned. The story is a pretty one: This serf, by name Shalounine, returned one day from Odessa to St. Petersburg and, as in duty bound, repaired to tbe Shereraetieff palace, there to report himself. With him he had brought, as a gift to the count, a amall barrel of choice Crimean oysters. This ha left outside till he should receive an intimation that the offering would be acceptable to Shere mctieff. Now, it so chanced that he found his master surrounded by a large number of guests who had been bidden to breakfast. The count was engaged in berating his butler for negligence to provide oysters for tbe breakfast. The butler con tended that there were no oysters in the market. It was at this j'uncture that the count caught sight of hi banker serf. "So," he angrily exclaimed, "yon, too, are to annoy me! And with your pestering appeal for libera tion ! Eef me tell you that your er rand will prove a fruitless one! But stayl IH release you on one condition and one only that yoi get roe some oysters for break fast!" Shalounine bowed low and left the room. . When he returned he laid the barrel of oysters at his master's feet Whereupon the count, true to his word, called for pen and paper and instantly wrote out a declara tion of emancipation making the serf a free man. Then the former master, with a most gracious air, "And now, my dear Shalownuie, will you be eo good as to favor ns with your company at breakfast V Harper's Weekly. - A Uaais Vahsaee.

A Gentle Complaint. Two men, next door neighbors, each bad a pet diversion. Chickens was the hobby of one; that of the other, flowers.- Because of the dev astating instincts of the unrestrain ed fowls the flowers did not flour ish. The gardener, however, valued his neighbor's friendship more than he did the flowers and mado no re monstrance. The poultry farmer one. evening visited his neighbor and by way of introduction made a complimentary remark about the garden. "What a beautiful bed of flowers you have here!" he said glowingly. "Yes, added tho gardener de icctedly, "but it just kedps me a-sweating to keep it from becoming a feather bed." Might Always Wear It "John, do you recognize this hat?"

Reports from the Treasury De pal tinent indicate a very healthy growth of the internal revenue. There are twenty million more dollars to tho credit of this source than there were in June of last year, hot tho month of May there were in round numbers three millions and a half of re ceipts over regular disbursements. 1 his sum, however, was not in clusive of the disbursements on nccount of the Panama Canal or the public debt. The Canal dis bursements for May were four millions. The customs of tariff receipts for May show a falling off, but those for internal revenue havei as stated above, increased more than twenty millions over the receipts for 1909. The Sec retary of the Treasury is calculat ing on twenty-seven million dol lars revenue from the corporation tax, which will be available for current expenses. 'If, however, the Supreme Court should declare the corporation tax law un-Con-stitutional, it is thought that a bond issue would be necessary for refunding the money. The total cash in the Treasury on the 1st of June was $1,700,181,79(5. The decrease of the public debt during May was $757,000. The administration and regular Republicans are ' congratulating themselves on the Payne-tariff as a revenue producer. They hold that it has had nothing to do with the increased cost of food stuffs, and stand-pat Republicans are expecting to go before the country in the coming Congres sional campaign with these argu ments, insisting that high living is found in other countries as well as in the United States and that this proves that the Payne-tariff has nothing to do with increased cost here.. Apropos of the tariff, how are custom-house and custom-house officers going to protect them selves against smuggling air-ships of the monoplane, biplane and other plane varieties? It is said that the United States snd Mexi co are negotiating a treaty to pre vent these smugglers in tbe air doing business along the border. It would seem that Canada also will have to be considered in sim ilar negotiations, and from all that can be learned from the tem per of Canadians on this subject they will probably bo less dis posed than Mexico. It is said that in the treaty with Mexico air-ships on both sides of the boundary will be required to take out licenses and carry identifica tion tags with clearance papers, etc. 'But it to probabe that cer tain aerial smugglers will bo able to flank custom-house detectives. It is sufficiently difficult to keep op with those smugglers who are earth-bound, and there to no d'.obt a very thrifty business in smuggling carried on over our northern as well as our southern frontiers. But even by uoubliug the customs officials along tbe Canadian boundary, it would avail little against successful smuggling by these birds of pas sage that move at the rate of a mile a minute ana can land In secluded places out of reach of custom-bouse officers. May it not be possible tbat air ships are destined Ur break down tariff barriers and usher in an era of free trade? The railroad bill to still under consideration in the Sonata. Many important amendments hare been voted, upon. The La Follette amendment for the valuation of railroad property was lost by a rote of thirty to twenty-five.
