Beat Fhyalcmaa.
Dr. B. M. Woolley, who baa made the study
of opium and whi ky a life work, is known all
over this countiy to be an expert In this line.
Persons who have been addicted to the awful
opium and whisky habit fur many years hare
been speedily, as it were, brought back to life
and made whole. He has treated bo many
different ind.viduab, and has had snoh varied
experiences w.th them, that he is able at once
to U a;,'nose tho i a <o and tell the extent the dis¬
ease has pro^ressod, thus rendering it possb'.e
for him to tell the probable length of tune that
will be reqn red in treating the case.
Dr. Woolley has for a number of years been a
progressive and active cit zen of Atlanta, largely
interested in Atlanta’s welfare, and esteemed by
l.er c.tizeuB as au upright, h notable Chr stian
gentleman. It is safe to say that ho has effected
hnndieds of cures, and is now better prepared
than ever before to ti eat people addioted to the
opium and wh sky habit. His scientific treat¬
ment, has ooupled tbe salvation with practical hundred* common of people sense,
l.een or

whose hopes have been blasted, and who. e mis¬

Among the thousands o evidences of the
doctoi's wonderful power over the opium and
whial,y habit, we give what John H. Jaokson,
or White Plains, Ga.. bus to say: cured of

SIBERIAN ROADS.
Their Horrors Described in Vivid
Colors.
Travel Along Them le One
Series of Hardships.
A correspondent of tho Novoye
VYcmva describes tho horrors of the
Siberian roads in vivid colors. There
is only one road from Irkutsk to
Yakutsk. You have to cross the river
Lena, ill summer by boats, in tho win¬
ter over the ice, but iu the spring and
r.utumn there is no means of crossing
the river, and yon have to wait for a
noro auspicious season. In tho snm-
ner and winter, however, tho road is
jtti.'c to erable. There are post ita-
tio s on it at intervals of from twen-
-five to thirty versts. O ie can al¬
ways find something at such stations
o s ill 11 tinger,~ffuiioug!i lie must never
ixpcct to get a piece of white bread, a
piece of meat, or a cup of tea. This
is the slate of affairs on the twenty-
e'ght clays’ journey from Irkutsk to
Yakutsk.
Quite different is it on the road from
Yakutsk to the cities of Verkhovynn-
ka and Srcdne-Kolymsk. You have
to travel a distance of about 8,000
versts through an uninhabited coun¬
try. If you find a 1 small village of
Yakcots on the road the peoplo are so
po'«r that they cannot help you. They
have no cattle, they produce no grain;
the importation^T the necessaries of
life is quite insignificant. A dwelling
i* a mere shanty, with a fireplace in
the middle nnd a hole in the ceiling
for the smoke. When the air is damp
and stationary the smoke will not es¬
cape and lingers in Ihe voorta. Doors
are sometimes wanting and windows
aro generally missing. Contagious
diseases, diphtheria, small-pox, ty-
pli dd fever, are always to be found
among the Yakoots, while medical
help is nowhere to bo found.
Terrible as such yoortas are, one is
rejoiced if he readies one, but they oc¬
cur very Feldotn on the road. The
traveler has to proceed seventy or a
hundred versts before he finds, not a
yoorta, but a po' arnya., in which to
rest. liimselE ^ povnrnva is an en-
bfosUre*of nmrs alls Wifti a roorto it.
There are no windows, no doors, no
fireplaces, and certainly not a human
being to lend one a helping hand with¬
in two hundred versts. Tired out
from traveling on a bad road, frozen
to the bones and pinched with hunger,
the traveler arriving at such a povar-
nya must dig out some wood from un¬
der tho snow to build a fire to melt
snow. lie is happy when the fire gets
ablaze and lie can warm up his
stiffened limbs, undress, and rest him¬
self. But that rest becomes a torture,
for ho must remain in that lonely barn
two or three days before he can pro¬
ceed. There are no horses and deer
in such povarnvas, and one must wait
until a team tlisj. goes in the direction
he requires comeSfon, or until his own
animals are sufficiently recovered <0
Those poor animals must in the
mean time ho fed on whatever can be
dug up for them from under the
snow. The regular post stations on
that road, called the slanky, are at in¬
tervals of about 200 versts apart, and
so poorly provided that one seldom
finds there cither horses or deer or
fodder for his own animals, or even
food for himself. It sometimes imp-
pens that a traveller stopping at such
a station to wait for animals to carry
him onward, in case his own animal®
fall from exhaustion or want of food,
must eat the flesh~-of his own dead
brute, if lie is unwilling or unable to
keep a long fast. With the rickety
vehicles on that road and their fre¬
quent breaking, tho marshes to be
crossed on thin ice or to be waded if
the Wagon gets stuck—a whole hook
could be filled with .he description of
such incidents!
Such is the travelling in the winter,
with tho temperature varying between
zero and seventy degrees Celsius of
cold. In the summer you have to
wait sometimes for many days for a
boat or a raft to take you across a
river. There are no regular rafts
crossing tho rivers, but you must
wait for a party of Yakoot8 or exiles
*
who , . . wood , from , one

city to another. In the autumn and
Spring again, thcro Is practically no
travelling ou those roads, and the un¬
fortunate wayfarer who happens to
arrive in those part3 at such seasons of
tiie year must do the best ho can—
stop at a post station and whistle for
liungcr, and wait for the best to hap-
pen.
The Toothsome Terrapin.
Everybody lias heard of the tooth-
some terrapin, surnamed the diamond
hack, dear to the epicurean palate, buf
even in Washington, where they are
comparatively plentiful, it is not
everybody that knows that it will take
three dollars i’tgood American coin to
buy one of these diminutive little
1aintics, with the peculiar marked
shells. That is to say, it takes throe
dollars to possess 1 one in the raw shape,

mists like Colonel Tom Ochiltree ar 0

worth fifty cents a pound is fit to bo
uaed, and wines of the rarest vinlage,
which help to make the figures loom
up on the ticket that comes when tho
feast is ended.
44 What will you take for a dozen of
them?” was asked a Twefih street
dealer, whose front window was
pretty well filled with the little crawl-
er8 ‘
“Take , a dozen , for , $30,” „ was the ..
reply, “though only hotels and res¬
taurants usually order that many.
Yes, that’s the lowest price. We get
them from a little town down in
Maryland, , , where _ they , , bought . . up

from the fishermen who catch them iu
nets in Chesapeake Bav. There are
diamond backs in other Southern
waters—here is one that came from
Savannah—but none are supposed to
have tho exquisite taste of those caught

“How , long will ... they live?■
“For three or four months, and
strange to say get fatter the longei

is a little sea grass put down foi „ ,i, them 0 ™

The average terrapin isn’t over seven
inches long, and in the shell doesn’t
weigh over two pounds. The late Mr.
Wormley, of Hotel fame, was a con¬
noisseur in diamond backs, and bought
as many as 300 at a time. He put

Effect of Wind on Trees.
Trees which grow in exposed situations
**ave their tops always leaning away in
the opposite direction from the prevail¬
ing winds and the casual observer eon-
c i ut i cs that the branches have been bent
by the constant pressure of the wind and
retained their position. Now, although
such trees have the appearance exactly of
trees bending under a gale, still it is not
pressure in that way which has given
them their shape. The fact is, they have
blown awav from tho blast and not been
bent by it after they grew. Examination
of the branches nnd twigs will show this,
We hardly realize the repressive effects

effect of this more distinctly than other
trees. Owing to the horizontal habit of
growth of the branches, they point di-
rectly / to the teeth of the gale from what-
cve directioQ it comeS) an d cannot, like
the oak, lean over and grow in the op-
posite direction, hence coniferous trees
growing in exposed situations produce

The Music of Chinese Speech.
There is in China not only an intimate
association between music and poel.cal
speech, but tho between music and
speech generally. The Chinese being a
monosyllabic language, depends to a
great extent upon musical intonation to
convey meaning. If you listen to tho
conversation of your Chinese laundrymen
you will discover that their ordinary
speech is almost as musical as the recita-
tivo secco of tho Italian opera.
Ma “- 7 w ° rds ia **» <* ineso ^nguago
take from three to six different meanings
according to intonation. These intona-
tionS) ns Dr . g, Wells Williams forcibly
urges, have “nothing to do either with
accents or emphasis.” They are distinctly
musical, and it is much to be regretted
tha( . Dr wmiam8 was una ble, for obvious
want of the musical talent, to study them
from a musical point of view, as it is all
but impossible to convey a clear under¬
standing ot their nature by description.
There seems to be many variations, but
generally there ate four of these intona¬
tions, or shing, named and defined as
follows: One, ping shing, or “even

An Indian Romance.
Itoin-in-the-Face is a smart and ex¬
ceedingly dangerous Sioux warrior. His
daughter had a romance that makes a
rather interesting story. She fell in
love with a Lieutenant in the army once,
when the Lieutenant visited the Sioux
Reservation. Later he was transferred
to Fort Laramie. Not long after that
a band of Sioux obtained a hunting pass
and roamed over into Wyoming. The
Indian maiden persisted in accompanying
them. She saw the Lieutenant, and
upon learning that he was married she
fell upon the ground moaning and tear¬
ing her black tresses. The young squaw
refused to return with the Indians, and
they continued to camp iu the vicinity
for several weeks. One day the Indian

An Owl Kills a Dog.

with his dog, a Gordon setter, when the
owl attacked the dog, catching it by tbe
