McNeill, assistant to tlie Minister of Lands and Works, accompanied ,by a large concourse of the most influential lesidents ii. the community, left on the Scotia Thursday morning to pay a visit to the Atliu Mining Co's hydraulic mine on McKee Creek. Arriving at the mouth of McKee the party' disembarked, a stage, taken up for the purpose, drove part of the guests tip to the mines, whilst many preferred the really - 'pleasant walk. , ' ~ - ,, On arriving, . the ' guests were " "soon busy trying their luck 011 bed rock,and without exception ever}' "one in the party succeeded in getting a few nuggets which they will s guard with care as a souvenir ol .the occasion.' The visitors were greatly impressed with the Company's workings and were evidently surprised at the .quantity of" gold in sight. An abundant and excellent dinner was served in the company's niessroorn at which ample justice was done to the cook's tasty preparations. After satisfying the inner,,man, cigars weie served and toasts drank to the Host, the Premier, and the Attorney General. The Premier, iu replying to the toast made reference to the pioperty and the district and remarked that the Atlin Mining "Co.'s property was one of the most prominent mines operating in British Columbia and that Atlin was ,the Greatest Gold Mining Division ofB. C, he ��� paid high compliment to the pluck and energy displayed by Mr. Fetherstonhaugh' who had in spite' of divers opinions expressed in the earlier stage of his ��� operations, proved the property to be a valuable one and had made it a dividend producing investment. The Attorney General, Judge Henderson and other speakers followed. Mr. R. D. Fetherstonhaugh replied in well ehoscn words with his usual modesty, remarking that he had today the making of a great mine which was today woik- ing at a profit. A pleasant drive back to the Scotia which brought the guests back to Atlin concluded a very pleasant , and instructive 'tiip, thouroughly enjoyed by one and all 1 who .vveie theie. Too much cannot be said ot Mi. Fetherstonhaugh as a host and the party were unanimous in voting him a royal good, icllow. The following is a list of tho invited guests: J.

Crops to take his place. *? , The Premier, /who was welcomed with great .'enthusiasm, outlined the policy of the Conservative party and expounded his views on the political situation and asked "the electors to supportlhe Conservative party which had appealed to the country for endorsatiou on Party Lines. The Attorney General gave a clear, logical speech in favor of the present Conservative Government which he claimed would stand loyally by the local men, especially the miner aud piospector, and with a man like the Hon. Premier, as head of the part}' and a friend of the Distiict, he thought that the electors should give him the opportunity of ruling the Province for the next four years. The meeting terminated by giving three good hearty cheers for the Premier and the singing of the National Anthem. The Premiers Tour of the Province. The Hon. Richard McBride Premier and Chief Commissioner of Lands and works accompanied by the Hon. A-E.

' "As a rule, ihey know one another ��nJy as other people do, according to^ their common successes and common fail-' tires. The better class women of the profession���that is, those whose gifts have earned for them the honor of posing for gtreat painters���always say in reply to 'enquiries, 'Oh,'I don't know any models!' bi a tone whioh says, 'My dear sir, though <my beauty is suoh I cannot escape the importunities of painters, and I have_ consented to make the world the happier for my having been created, still, pxm must not make the mistake of supposing me to be an ordinary model.' Her ease is an exceptional one. I have known a great many exceptional oases; In fact, there is quite a colony of them. "Before the mists are scattered along Hue Duperre by a tardy'sun rising above ' the'white towers of Sacrc Coeur, on the heights of Montmartre, when the goat- bend, in' his blue smock and sabots, has driven his flock before the wild music of ' bis pipe along Hue des Martyrs beyond Ifontmartre, into suburban Paris, there - Is a,1 gathering of the brotherhood of , models around the fountain of Place Pig- '' alle. They gather there every Monday morning of the year. It is an old cus- '.lom of the quarter, the origin of which Sb forgotten in the melee of traditions. ' ''"It is a strange 'group of humanity, ihese models, in. their varied and eccentric costumes. Velveteens, long cloaks '{which drape, the figure -with a certain picturesque grace), wide soft hats, and long Oiadr seem to be the accepted mode, as well as the peasant's costume of Italy, which the women sometimes wear. The men who possess costumes usually cairry them in a bag of bright stuff under their r long cloaks. ,< <- ."The . commanding Raphael, whose name, no ndoubt, was chosen after his icihoice of profession, occupies the central ' position, partly by reason of his great height and also because het is a bulwark around which the weaker members cling. He is to a limited extent a born tragedian. His natural pose is one of uncom- prottnising fierceness. Hej the mildest- liearted of old poseurs, would make a splendid model for a bandit, with his fierce brows, long wild locks and beard. "A'little paitheilc, faded, grimy figure l>y his side is 'grand mere,' as they call ber, an old, gray-haired woman, still hugging the illusions of her youth, and waiting in the tawdry splendor of her national costume for the painters who ,wsed to celebrate her, and who have long Bince passed by for the last time. Tlie kindly Raphael taps his brow significantly, and murmurs 'Bile-est folle!' - ' "And that little rogue Jean Dagnano- otf the glorious melancholy eyes! It is not often that Jean joins the group at the Place, for he is a much-requested model, and his engagements are made , ahead, but sometimes he comes looking like a little old man in his long trousers, much too big for' him, and great hat .which reposes comically over his ears. But even in those absurd clothes he has a certain charm���the union of the ludicrous with the beautiful. "Tho young Madonna but recently come from the vineyards of Italy, her brown cheeks still warm with Southern Bunshme, has learned the value of a sweetly maternal expression, and is always provided with an enfant of the iproper age, even when she must rent it! "The painter descends from his 'heights at an early hour, and proceeds slowly to the Place. He appears in the distance! flPhe curtain has risen, the play has be-' gun! '.���Raphael, with a step forward, tosses ���his fcefcd and knits his shaggy brows into their fiercest expression; the elder Dag- nono turns his martyred eyes heavenward; the Madonna rests hers tenderly . on the infant for whom she is paying q /nunc a day; the short man with the , Jbnshy hair, whose figure shed of its strange garments is u model of athletic Ipower, turns his back (which is his good point) and demands a light of his gay friendF If it ds all acting dt is not bad wt. Each performer 'has perfected his role in this one-act pantomime of the streets until it rivals the performances of the Odeonl The happy model who walks away in the footsteps-of the velveteoned, long-haired paintrr of the quarter is as renl in his part as is his patron. And. after all, it is such a pleasing, prett* part! Who would essay to separate th^ real from the make-believe; the sentiment from tho color of it; the passion from tihe show of it, in delightful Paris! "It is all art; and if in the pursuit of the beautiful they forget'the truth, if the original idea is lost'in the thousand seductive bypat/hs Of art, still we have, once or twice in a century, a Millet or a Rodin to sound a recall to the stern Motiher." * Expensive. It yraa .a .beautiful evening in the Spring of 2001. The moon shone pale and transcendent in the clouds above, and as the two lovers sat close together, no sound was heard save the stealthy tread of the one spectator to their tryst. The young man pressed tho-maiden to hie heart, and turning her face to his, was about to kiss her, when she drew back. "Darling," she asked anxiously, "what ia ihe tax ort kisses?" "One dollar each," he observed grimly, "but I don't care if my salary is mortgaged up to next Christmas. I'm desperate for a kiss." "Don't!" she said pleadingly. "The tax assessor' is watching our every movement and is ready to chalk it down. You know, even now, it is costing yoa fifty cents an hour to he with' me." "I know It!" exclaimed her lover, "but, tny darling, aside from our own cramped tnanoes, you know the trusts must lnrjv Bjie head of the Lovers' Trust is only frorth eight trillions, < and suppose we ���hould go out of business! Why, his dividends might he cut down. No, no. l-iet us love, even if (he tax is raised to a iollar an hour and there, is no bread in the house. I must lie true to my country's best inteivsts." "You are right," she said, yielding to ��is superior mind. And as their lips irr-t in a long, linger- ��g dollar kiss, the legislciing machine, planted twenty fept b.:ck"of them, clicked tut its ominous sound, showing that John Jones, American citizen, had (been locked for one kiss by the United States Amalgamated Lovers' Trust.��� "Life." ^ ^^ , A Very Impolite Dog. ��� A man in New York State, writes a correspondent, is the owner of a email out pure-blooded Skye terrier, named Rex, whose intelligence is remarkable. Borne of Rex's bright performances certainly are the result of reasoning power, Which used to be regarded as the gift of the human family only. ' Hex sleeps at the foot of his master's bed, upon a soft rug of his own. He is i dog of good hn bits, better behaved than many children, in. fact; but, like a child, he insists upon his rights: his own spot before the fire, his own corner of the ��ofa, his own bed and, what is most interesting, his own bedtime. , Often in the evening when visitors remain beyond ten o'clock, Rex enters the S trior, walks anxiously about, and lies own in tho very midst of the circle with I wearied air tliat cannot be mistaken. If the visitors still leniain, he will rise ind yawn, then mildly whine, and wiLh rapidly wagging tail seek' his master's tide and look expectantly up into his face, as jf to eay, "Why "don't they go, ��o that we may retire?" If all these tactics fail, he will drop his ears and tail and walk to the door, tome times giving a sharp, oross bark, his nliole manner indicating deep disapproval of such late hours. Twice in his life he has done more than to hint at his wishes on occasions of this kind. , One wet evening a stranger, who was Balling upon Rex's mistress, left his rubbers near the hall door. With the privilege of an old friend, his call was extended beyond the hour for Rex's retirement:" As usual, the dog displayed his sleepiness and evident opinion that the gentleman was outstaying his welcome, but no notice was taken of him until, with an air of desperation, he marched into the parlor with one of the caller's rubbers, laid it at his feet, andL then quickly returned with the other,-which he placed beside it. Then, with a. triumphant gleam In his eyes, he backed off and stood looking ia,t the stranger as if to say, "There! Do you understand that hint?" -- His second exploit" was even more remarkable. On this occasion a half-uozon people had been playing whist with his master and mistress. When the game was over, .between tenr and eleven o'clock, tlhey still biocd or sat about the room, engaged in conversation. > Rex was tired, and thoroughly out of humor. No one seemed to give a thought to him, and nothing that he could do Jittracted any attention. There were too many visitors to urge them all to depart by producing their overshoes, even if they wore them, but a brilliant idea came to him. He dashed upstairs to the 9leei>ing-rooma, seized his master's nightgown, which lay ready for use upon the bed, and, dragging it behind him, spread it at his master's feet in the parlor below, in full view of the assembled guests. This stratagem was a brilliant success, for, amid shouts of laughter and the consternation of the, master, the callers said good-night. Antipathies of Great Men. _ It is a natural human trait to desire kinship with great minds, and portly for this reason the world loves to hear of the little weaknesses, inconsistencies, and illogical prejudices of its intellectual giants., The following, then, a carefully compiled anil, so far as the -writer knows, absolutely authentic list of the antipathies; of certain past-masters, may prove of general interest, thinks "Punch": Shakespeare, it seems, disliked a foiced abstention from victuals. Lord Chesterfield hated to have the shair upon which he was just sitting down withdrawn from under him. The Iron Duke (and it may be remarked in passing that Lord Roberts of ��ur ow�� day has a similar aversion) would grow quite uneasy if shut up in the same room, with a mad dog. Dr. Abernethy, a man proverbially intolerant of mere fads and crotchets, had vet a strong personal objection to sleep- ing.in damp sheets. . . ' Schiller would never, if he could avoid- It, write with a 'broken nib., . Oarlyle never liked being alluded to as i "blithering idiot." Keats would go out of, his way to Avoid a lunatic with a knife. Faraday, the great chemist, disliked ihe sensation of nitric acid on hiu hands. Mocready had a ��� great disrelish for either the .flavor or perfume of bad cttere twenty yeans, ago; says the pre- railing theory was that tihe missionaries aad been compelled to leave their own land on account of hunger. This was she conversation that book place shortly if tier his landing: "What is the nfwne of your country!" "Beritani," which ds the native corruption of Great Britain. "Is it'a large land?" "Yes." ~ "What is your chief?" < "A woman named victoria." "What! Awom.m/" "Yes, and she has great power." "Why dfid you leave your country?" "To teach you, and to ,tell you of the jrent Spirit Who loves us all." "Have you cocoanuts in your country?" "No.;* "v "Have you yams?" ��� "No." . J "Have you sago?" n '"No." "Have you sweet potatoes?" , "No." "Have you breadfruit?" ,' "No." "Have you plenty of hoop-froa end wmahawks?" "Yes, a great .i.hundance." "We understand .iow why you have KMne. You hav ..auiiing to eat in Beri- ���Jii, but have pu-ui./ of tomahawks and loop-iron with which you can buy food." Xii-J M. A. P. on Amusements. ifendelssolni did not like the sound of I finger-nail being drawn across a slate, ft. thumb-nail caused him similar disquiet. Disraeli would walk about or stand .���ather than sit upon a freshly-painted Denoh. Dr. Johnson hated to have anyone run eadi butt him in the waistcoat. Sir Walter Raleigh had a marked objection to prison life; and Lord Burleigh, his great contemporary, never liked to slip off a curbstone with his tongue between his teeth. . ";' ' i r . .. ' . Interested Bflotiveai The firWfc missionaries, who landed ia New Guinea hod many difficulties to contend with, ot which the most persistent mm tho suspicion of bhe-wutives. . Tho Rev. James Gbaim^rg, ^fe> ��$�� Mr. T.'P. O'Connor, Jn his Mainly About People (May 23), Joins In tho crusade against bridge,, and In'part says:���"Lite would "be tolerable but for Its amusements," said a- groat politician and a philosopher of the 'sixties. What would he have said if he had lived to our days? The ' campaign against "bridge," which The Daily Express is waging, is one of the marks of, the revolt which is rising against our present methods ana habits ot life. It. is n campaign with which I have great sympathy. I remember talking some years ago to a. laay of great beauty and social popularity, who told me she had almost abandoned vlsitg to country houses, siinoly because she hated bridge so much, aiH she found that nobody who did not love bildge was regarded with .any favor any more In the country house. Tho mere playing or bridge, of course, is not an offence in itself; a game of cards is a very harmless and often a-.very necessary relaxation ���after the hard"work of the day. I confess there was a time when I Played cards nearly every night of my life, aM J found it very healthy to enjoy tor some hours complete forgetfulness of all the labors and worries of my life. I must add that I chose the most idiotic game of cards I could find-an American game called casino-and that I never Played for money. There are only two c��n?i" tions on which any person ought to gamble; the first, of course, is that he should be always certain to win; and the second, that he should be equally sure that the people from whom he won could afford to lose. In other words, as these two conditions can never be present, one should never gamble at all. How anybody is able to sit down at the table of a friend, or to allow a friend jto sit down at his table and lose money or win money from that friend, which he is unable to afford, passes my comprehension. And yet I was told by that same lady to whom I alluded at the beginning of this article that she has seen men and women exchange large checks with each other on the morning of the day when the house party was breaking "P. and the guests were scattering to their different destinations. People will differ about thiese things, 'but I would regard a country house, if I owned one, where such things took place, as sunk to the level of RateUffe Highway. To my p o judgment, vulgarity could not get much further than turning one s house into a gambling saloon. Gambling has always existed perhaps may always exist, but undoubtedly the invention of bridge has brought with it an increase of the spirit and the practice to quite an alarming extent. Who, five or ten years ago, would have thought it possible that sane men and women, and, above all, that young girls would sit down In the middle of the day or in the early afternoon and start to gamble? Who would have believed it possible that men and women or good station and of decent surroundings would stop up all night gambling, and that, again, young women would be found amongst the keenest and the most eager of the players with the cards.' Yet these things now 'constantly take place, and indeed a young woman of certain sections of society who does not play bridge and' does not gamble wou d be voted a mere prudish frump. It is high time that protests were raised against au this madness and vulgarity, and 1 am- glad to see that certain newspapers and preachers have the courage to taKe up the crusade. . i ' Wanted to Work For Herself. Tlie following story has been going the rounds of the British press :���A young Russian woman of the aristocratic "class, highly educated, and the only daughtor ol an official well up in the Government service, who disappeared mysteriously about fours years ago, lias just been discovered ,n the person of "Alexander Kodlshevsky," under which name she was masquerading as a man and acting in the capacity of a foreman of the railway.

' "Tho little llclitlioime Girl" Never F��!!�� .to Greet Ships That Tain. Sallormen who navigate the seas on the South Atlantic coast are always glad when they' near the harbor of Savannah, for that means that they will pass within saluting distance of "the little lighthouse girl." This, be it understood, Is the officially accepted title of Miss Florence Martus, who has for the last1 eleven years waved a friendly signal to every craft passing between the city and the sea. It is the hobby ol this young girl to greet the ships that go and wish them a safe return, and greet the ships that come and congratulate them on their voyage. She ' says that the ships.are her world. She hasn't much world outside of the marine houses, to be sure, for she'lives (with her-brother and her mother on the bleakest, most uninviting " island Imaginable on the ^southern bank of the Sa-vanah River, ten miles from town'.' The Martus dwelling is the only.haw- Utatlon' on Elba Island. There Is no landing wharf and visitors arrive on an average once a year. George Mar- 'tus attends to the range of lights which beep the pilots In the right part-of tha most tortuous channel In that part,of ithe ocean. Besides the lighthouse Is Ith'e cottage where these three persons Bpend their lives. The barks,' the (steamers, the schooners and the various other craft never get near enough for an exchange of greetings other than (that expressive form of good will, the- wavlng of a handkerchif by day and of a lantern by .night. And as the girl Bends out-her welcome the seamen, Who all know her and who would re- Bent the elimination,of the'ceremony iwhich she has,popularized, send back" en answering salute, three "toots" of (the steam'whistle. Then Miss Martus lis as happy as a belle' at a debutante party. It Is her desire that^no vessel shall pass the lighthouse without receiving la salute. She never overlooks a sail dn the daytime, and her handkerchief is ,ever ready for its service of cordiality. Ar.d at night she seems to feel Intuitively the approach of her ships, for ehe has frequently made ready the Ian- / Item before the expected boat hove in Bight. She says It Is her ambition to Bignal every ship that touches Savannah. ,She was asked her reason for Signalling the passing sea throng. ^ ��� "I do it," she answered, "because Ihey are my friends, almost the only, friends I have. I love to see them come and go, and when they go I always pray for their -safe - return." , ��� Simon V.

B., June 22.���(Special).���One more remarkable cure has been credited to Dodd's Kidney Pills in this neighborhood,, and the story is best told in the- words' of Simon V. Landry, the man cured. Mr.' Landry says: "I was bothered for over a year witli Lame Back, Weak Legs, and Palpitation of i/he Heart and general weakness and shortness ofibreath.. Id fact I was a total wreck. I could not ��� work as I got tired and weak ,s��< easy. , , "I also had a weakness in my stomach, and ��it was so bad that I could not bend down,to anything.'

"You're only an ' actor. How oan you know a bad picturert You never painted one." , "No,", drawled Goodwin, ".that's true enough. But I - know a bad egg when I run across it, and, would you believe it, I never laid v one either."

After a moment's hesitation, Norma stopped to ask her how Ned was.1 i She fancied fiom the woman's manner that she was uneasy'aboul something. , ' "It's about him I'm woi'iilinc;," an- Bwered Nance civilly enough. "The lad Boom home this afternoon, nnd he's been Meeting about t' cold, and I'm nigh sure he's downright ill. Maybe he's caught cold wearing these fine new claes of t' doctor's." ''I thought he was ill 'when I met him In the wood this afternoon," said Norma. "Ay, so he is too, and me' wi' nobody to go and fetch t' doctor." Norma said eagerly:' "Let me watch him' while you go." , "Oh, I doan't like for to trouble your ladyship," said Nance, looking, however, as if she felt rather grateful.

At the door of Nance's cottage they Darted, Nance speeding away to the ' town, with her basket on her arm, after learning that Norma was quite ready to stay for a couple of hours if necessary; in charge of the invalid. "He's lying quiet enough," said Nance, "as if he was asleep. He'll not take no notice of'you, most like, your ladyship, nor so much as open his eyes. I didn't tell him as how you was so good 'as to coom to him." "All right. I'll take great care of him," said Norma, as she went into the cottage. ��� Nance 'had made the sick lad a bed in the little parlor into which the front door of the cottage opened; nnd there'he lay in the coiner, just as she had said, with his eyes closed, and a dusky flush on his face. Norma sat down without making the least noise, in' a chair which was just out of his sight if,he should open his eyes. She thought that the sight of her might disturb him. so that it he would sleep on quietly without knowing sho was there, it wouid be better for him than if she were to have to soothe him by assurances that she had nothing to worry him about while he was ill.

"Come," he said, "you will be able to talk more freely to me than you dare do tiere.-"' Lady Myfanwy and Lady Violet will excuse us] both, I'm sure. We may bave to wire lip to town for some help, and to consider what is best to be done." "But you will come back to dinner, iwon't you?" said Lady Myfanwy in a pleading voice, as he made Norma rise to go. "You promised, you knowl" "Even a promise is subject to revision In a case of emergency," he said, courteously, but rather coolly; "I'm very grateful for your kindness to rap. Lady ' Myfanwy, but'I must show some regard to the wishes of my wife." When they were outside in the dark and the cold again, Noima's spirits fell Still lower than before. The belief that she was losing whatever hold she had Upon Astley, and that Lady Myfanwy had succeeded in supplanting her in his regard, weighed upon her like lead. At the same time she tried to bear up under this new blow, and told herself that, since happiness with herself was out of 4he question, sho ought lo be glad that ke had found, in the earl's daughter, a powerful friend. These feelings and thoughts made her silent, and it was Astley who spoke first. Following her down the drive, after he had been detained a few moments by the imperious ' Lady Myfanwy, he drew her reluctant hand through his arm and said: "My dear, you look unhappy, horribly Unhappy!- What is it? Something worse than anything you have told us of?" \ At the kind words, Norma felt her courage and her stoicism giving way; i the next moment her tears were falling. , corner of the mantelpiece, Norma noticed "Yes, there is something worse," she that the invalid was beginning to grow Bald.

He almost- shrieked the last word, and then, after a moment's silence, during whioh he drew his breath hard, with clenched teeth and deep moans, he fell back on the pillow with a shudder and a low cry. Norma shook with horror. Here then was the truth, the ghastly horrible truth, wrung in his delirium from the unfortunate boy. Before she could move from whero she sat, the lad began again. "Doctor, doctor, it's murder! Yon poor chap's dead, and yo've killed him! No, no, I woan't say nowt.

CHAPTER XXH. Norma controlled herself by a strong effort, and instead of appearing afraid of the doctor, presently looked up at him, and said: "You frightened me at ' first, Dr. Wharles; but I'm very glad you've come. The boy's delirious, and his head is full of the wildest fancies." The doctor, who still find his hand on her arm, looked nt her for n, moment suspiciously, and then s.iid, in a sort of tentative way, as if uncertain whether to bully or lo conciliate: ' '��� "What did he say then?" Before .Norma could answer, the voice of the lad broke out, once more', ciying, ,in a tone of abject fear: ' ' "Doan't hurt mo, doctor. I woan't say nowt, I woan't, trust mo." ' .Norma turned her face again to the doctor, with an appearance of bsing deeply puzzled.' i ' "There, he talks liko that all the time." she said. "I suppose, through talking to- you yesterday in the'wooer, where he was also on the night of the murder,'he has mixed the two occasions together. Don't you think so?" '" Dr. Wharles looked her full in the eyes, tout Norma stood tlie test, returning his gaze without blinking. "Ah, perhaps ho has," said he. But'toefore ho could say more the boy's voice oried out again, more loudly than before: "Doctor, doctor, doan't do nowt to me. I'll be as still as the dead, I woan't eay as how I see yo murder him!" In spite of all her care and'caution, Norma could not repress a shudder as those'' wild words, earnestly uttered, came from the dry lips of the sick lad. Dr. Wharles made a sudden movement towards the bed, and she sprang up. As ,he turned on hearing her move, they .came face to face so abruptly that there was no time for either to prepare a mask: the real thoughts, the real feelings of eaoh were shown on the two faces: both knew the truth; that the' man was a murderer, and that the woman knew it. ' -. ' Norma, knowing' the * whole" truth as certainly as if she had seen the doctor fcommit the crime, could not support the strain long. An , irrepressible shudder ran through her, and she sank ,down again on the chair with her head tvurned away, eo that she might not meet his eyes. ��� There was a horrible silence, broken only by the Tn'.lleilngs and deep-drawn breaths of the sick lad. Then, when Dr. Wharles had had time < to - collect his ���thoughts, he went up to the bed and looked at the hoy. Instantly Norma turned, watching him closely; and the doctoi's fresh-colored face grew pale as he read in her eyes suspicion of his possible intention. when he spoke, however, Ins voice was gsntle_ggd_ inuch .pqfter than usual.. Norma, "who knew that his utterances were usually of the full voiced sort to be expected from the full blooded type of manhood to which he belonged, thought the unnaturally subdued tones uncanny. "You aie right, Lady Daiwen, the boy is full of wild fancies. I always thought he must have seen something more than he owned to on the night of the tragedy, and now I'm certain of it." Amazed at 'his audacity, Norma sat stupefied, unable lo make arty sort of answer. The doctor took the lad's hand in his, and went on: "1 am very stiongly of opinion that he knows prrfectly well who committed the minder." Seized with a sudden disgust at her own attitude in temporizing with this scoundrel, she answered'recklessly, with unmistakable dryness: "And I'm sure oi it!" _ With a rapid glance at him she noted that tho momentary pallor of his face had been succeeded liy a deeper flush than before, and she knew that he took'her words as a sort of challenge.' He did not turn his head, however, but sat still on the hoy's bed, holding his hand, and 'watching him. His touch seemed to hate a strange effect upon Ned Raggett. Instead of crying out as before, the lad lay very' still with the exception of a slight twitching of the muscles of his face, and very silent except for occasional and indistinct mutterings. "He seems quieter -ow," said the doctor, after what seom'-d to Norma a long pause. She made vo reply. She win watching eveiy ir-nv��nient of his with an eagle eye. Sho knew well thatl the man who had. not hesitated at murder on one ���ccasion, would not shrink from a repetition of the crime in order to hide the evidence of his first misdeed. Did he mean to kill the lad, the tt>lo ponsessor of his guilty secret? Dr. Wharles tur-ed his head suddenly, and read her fear iu her eyes. He met it with a horrible smile, that showed his white teeth but did not reach his cold blue eyes. "Don't look so frightened, Lady Da*- wen," said he, "the lad's not so ill as veu fear. After a quiet night, he'll bo better In ihe, morning, take my word for it." i . Norma looked down, and said nothing. She held the firm opinion that the doctor was very anxious that Ned should rnaf only have a quiet night, but that he should remain quiet for ever. There was another awkward silence. Then the doctor said, in his old voice, ringing, sonorous, cheeiful: ''Would you go and ask your landlady if she would go into the town and get a little ice? I think I could make him more comfortable with an ice-bag over his forehead." "Mrs. Giles is out," said Norma. '<She's aritt so are all the other neighbors," I'm afraid." . -,,.'���. As she said this, she saw a look in the doctor's eye which sent a chill, down her spine. Did he contemplate seizing the opportunity of making away not only with the sick lad, but with herself? As he iosS' abiuplly fiom his,seat on the bed, the fear was'so strong upon Norma that he meant lo do some mischief either-to heir or the lad that she sprang across the room and took her place by the' head of the boy's bed, glancing down at the same time at the fireplace by her side to make sure that the poker was ready to her hand in case of need. ' . - It struck her as strange that Ned, who had been quiet and silent, even in his delirious condition, while the doctoi's touch was upon him, now began to chatter and to moan again, using always the same .words, with dull reiteration. And each time that he called upon the doctor "not to lnul him, for lie would say nowt," Norma felt that the murdciei's eyes woio upon them both, and dreaded an attack. i The moments dragged wearily along; she heard the tic-tnc of the clock in the kitchen, the movements of-the fowls in the yaid outside, the blight sound of the wind in the blanches of the trees on the opposite side of the lane: but never, otiain her cais as she might, the sound of a human being near. It was indeed'as alio had said: all the occupantd of the three cottages, except poor Ned, had gone into the town: except for her own powers of persuasion, stratagem or muscle, she and Ned wei e at the doctor's mercy���at the mei cy of a desperate criminal. . - Ned was growing noisy again, was raising his voice' to the old pitch of screaming" terror: but the doctor, who knew that nothing could happen which would either strengthen or alter Norma's convictions concerning him, did not again try to pacify him. Instead, he walked thoughtfully to the door, opened it, and looked out. * 0 Norma stared at him, watching'every movement. The dimly burning, smoky lamp and the red fire, combined to give .but a feeble and murky light. But it seemed that her senses were unnatuially aoute, for not the smallest action of the doctor's,-as he stood" outside in the little porch in the darkness, escaped her. She saw him put his hand to his breast pocket, and, with a cry, she rushed across the cottage floor and caused him to start. "Why, Dr. Wharles, you carry a revolver about with you, then?" almost shrieked she, as 'she' ieaned, panting, against the doorway, 'and the doctor, who had turned at her words, staggered a step or two backwards into the lane. She had not seen any.weapon: it was only her intuition that it was a revolver bis fingers were touching,'when he* put up his hand. But the startled, guilty look which flashed across his face at her accusation told her that she had made.a good guess.. ' .,-������, vFor one moment she stared out at him/ as toe, taken aback, "found-himself for a moment without a reply. Then she shut the door in his face, and drew the bolt. - The hoy's voice from the bed rang out again, hoarsely: '[Doctor, doctor, I'll swear I see nowt!" Norma put up hen hands to her head, giddy with the horrible sensations which had followed each 'other so rapidly. What would- happen? She .had flung down the gauntlet now;'she had let the doctor see that she knew him to'- be the .murderer, that she* feared new outrages on his part. Would he leave her there, and content himself with bold denial "of. there being any truth in Ned's ravings? Or would he, since he appeared to have for a moment contemplated some sort of attack, carry out his intentions still? The suspense she felt was horrible,"not to be borne. The cottage window���there was only one to this fiont room ��� was shutterless. She crept lowaids it and looked out. Whether the doctor was ooncealedwin the porch "she could not mike out; and she could hear) no sound from outside. ' She rah across the room and into the kitchen behind, to see whether he had gone round to that entrance. But even as she went, Ned cried out, in'a voice of terror that arrested her steps: - "Why do you run away? Is he after you f" He was sitting up in bed, staring at her with eyes full of terror. Fearing that the torment which he had been su�� fering would turn the lad's brain, and recognizing that her first duty was to the patient of whom she was in chaise, she contented herself with shutting tho door of the room she was in and drawing a heavy chest in front of it. Then she went quickly to Ned's side, and, sitting beside him, addressed to him soothing words which, lo her great relief, presently appeared to have some effect upon him: for he allowed himself to bo' persuaded to lie down again, muttering still, but with lens vehemence. �� iShe was still sitting beside him, listening intently for the least sound outside, when there was a violent pull at the handle of the door. Norma stood veg abruptly, in attitude ��f battle. But the voice which called ���ut sharply to her was not that of Dr. Wfharles, but of Nance Raggett, who oried out: "Open, open the door, I say!" Norma ran to obey her, with a great feeling of thankfulness that her watch was over. What, howersr, was her horror and dismay when she found, on unbolting the door, that she was confronted, not only by Nance, but by the doctor, who fol- towed the indignant woman into the cot- wge. It was he indeed vrtio spoke first "Well, Mrs. Baggett, what did I tell reu? We all know that your sex has. trivileges, and rank also. But for a lady | lo turn a medical man out, and lock the i loor upon him, when he wished to do"' lis duty and try to alleviate the suffer*1 nga of his patient, is, I think, a stretch wen of beauty's prerogative." "It's a piece o' cheek as ever I see!" tried Mrs. Raggett indignantly. "And I'd ha' seen yo"at t' bottom of t' sea, ny la4v though yo'. are, if. I'd ha' thowt '-I f'o' meant)to use Ned so!" ' �� .; Norma, who felt how awkward heri < iosition was, and how hopeless it would ��e for her to try, to get this woman to relieve her, with the artful, persuasive, knndsome doctor using his utmost influ- ��nce against her, felt nevertheless that] Ihe had better take up at once the poai-i (ion she meant permanently to hold aal :egarded,the whole matter. ' I So she turned boldly "to Nance, 'Midi % ; ,' ���aid: ' ' . r * ' ��� , "The lad Oias been delirious for somei' time.

A member of the Wellman polar expedition of 1808-ii, Paul Bjf rvig, is described by Mr. Walter Wc.iman, in "A turagedy of*thc Fur North," as a man of Superior courage, of unexampled fortitude and of inspiring character. If there was a 'bit of dangerous work to do, ho was sure to be the first to plunge in. lie Bang and laughed at his work. If ho Went down into a "povridge," 'half ico and half salt water, and was pulled out by has hair, hc^cnano up with a joko about the ico cream froexor. ,One day three men were out bcar-hunt- ,lng on an island., Two of Mem had rifles, the oilier ihad none. The last was Bjoervig. They found a bear, wounded hint,, and chased him l-o the top of a glacier. TJicre brtiiu stood at bay. Ono of the htmlent wr-nt lo the left, another to the right. Ujocivig laboriously mounted the" ice-pile to scaic I ho beast down whom the others tiii^ht get a altol. Hut one of I he hustler?, became impatient, and started to climb up also. On the way be lost hi-} footing, fell; and slid forty���or fifty feet into a poekcl of soft snuw. At tliat moment, unfortunately. Bjoer- vig frightened the bear. " Leaving tho summit of the ice-heap, the beast slipped ��nd slid straight toward tho hclples-j man, who was floundering up to his armpits below. Apparently the man's Jifc was not worth a half-kroner. Tn a few seconds the'boar would be upon him, and i would tear him to pieces. The brute was woundedj furious, deapeia.le.. Bjoervig saw wli.it hcjiad to do. He did not hesitate.- He followed the bear. From his perch at the summit he threw 'himself down the precipitous slope. He ..rolled, fell, slipped straight down toward the'big white bear'." He had no weapon but an oaken skec-staff, a mere cane; nevertheless he made, straight for ,the bear. ' �� Dawn the' hillock slope he came, bump- fag and leaping, and yelling at the top of his voice.. His cries, the commotion which he raised, the-vision the bear saw of a man flying down at him, frightened ,tlhe 'beast half out of his wits; diverted his attention "from the imperiled hunter lto the bold pursuer. This was what Bjoervig was working for. The hear dug his mighty claws into the ioe and stopped and looked at Bjoervig, ibut Bjoervig could not stop. 'The slope was too steep, his momentum too great. He dug his hands into the crust of the snow; he tried to" thrust his skee- I staff deep into the surface. It was in vain. Now he'was almost upon the bear; tho beast crouched lo, spring at him. Another second and it would nil be over. Crack! the rifle spoke. The man down below had had time to recover his equilibrium. Another shot and the battle was over. Bjoervig and the bear rolled down together. '*TTou saved my life," said 'the man with the gun, when Bjoervig had picked himself up. "No, no," responded Bjoervig,^ whipping the snow out of his hair, "you caved mine." .*��� - ~ W' v The Domestic Shah. "Don't you think that there aire munv men who want to 'be fussed over and re-' quire just as much waiting upon as the most spoiled and helpless of women?" uaks a correspondent, and then pro- ���ceds to answer: "Tlie majority, 1 dare say, arc not ' guilty of this weakness, but there are heaps of men-noodles who want their" womenkind to 'cosset' them as if they were babies or invalids. They must be cockered up with every kind of indulgence; they have ���a.11 the airs and the unbridled tempers and extravagances of a Shah-in-Shah, and the more generously and patiently their whims and fancies are borne with, the more exacting and domineering do they become, the more difficult to please, .the more outrageous-in their demands. and the more impossible and hopeless to get on with happily and comfortably. "When a domestia tyrant of fchi3 type returns to 'his domicile everything must be at a standstill until he has signified his lordly pleasure as to whether the different members of the family may continue their occupations or not, and fco matter what they are doing, or have done, you may be pretty oertain that il is not right in his eyes! If he has mis laid a book or a newspaper nobody in the place is allowed to have any peace until' it ia found. "As for his pipe or tobicco-pouch, why nothing short of a domestic revolution ooours if treasures of this sort happen to bo banished temporarily from his view. They arc so dear to hint, so indispensable to his happiness, so absolutely npce.ts-ny to his existence, thai lie cannot even beat them out of his sight, and unless bo can lay his hand on litem at once, the mild- tMl. mannered of men i.s capable of trans- foi tiling hitiiaoir into a Nero at tiny moment. Don't we all know the Boanerges- liko roar, 'Where's my pipe? Htt-s anyone seen my pipe?' or the testy lcmatk. 'Most extraordinary thing how everything gets interfered with hero. I can't even put my pipe down a minute or two but somebody hides it or takes il away!- Ton.to one be litis covered it over him self with his newspaper, cud, aftet creating a great hubbub and commotion, it is 'ound just where he laid it himself." Curious Bits of News. Professor Curie of Paris, who, aided byv his wife, discovered and extracted from pitch-blcndo the strange substance sailed radium, recently remarked that he would not venture into a room, con* taining one kilogram of radium be- sause it would probably destroy his eyesight, burn oil hi9 6kin, and oven kilt him. Radium gives off more abundantly than any other known substance the mysterious emanations named Beequerel rays, which aro supposed to consist of almost infinitely minute particles. They are driven off with a velocity as high as '100,000 milcv per .second, and cause Bcrious inflammations''upon the hands of persons working with the substance. They also give rise to luminous effects. In consequence of tho construction of the great Assouan dam,on the Nile, 000 miles above Cairo, the famous temples on tho Island of Philae aro partially submerged when tho reservoir is full of water. But the civilized world would not willingly see these magnificent relics of antiquity destroyed, and accordingly in elaborate system of underpinning the> buildings was adopted. Some ��of, the colonnades1 and'temples were found to be resting on fractuied stone beams, broken by subsidence of the soil. Heavy steel .giiders, enclosed with rubble Ifiasonry and mortar',' which protect them from corrosion, were placed under the broken foundations, and the masonry Syas carried down to bed- rook beneath. The work was done in the face of considerable danger, but without accident. The project of climbing the loftiest Mountain on the earth, Moun t Everest, in the Himalayas, whoso tremendous head, rises, according to trigonometrical measurements, 29,002 feet above sea-level, has now reached a stage immediately antecedent to the actual attempt. A party, led by Mr. Eckenstein, an experienced climber, has set out for the foot .of the <yreat 'peak. Several celebrated mountain-climbers have expressed the opinion that the feat is feasible, but only by the method of gradual ascent, whereby tho adventureis may become inured to the effects of a rare atmosphere. Months, and even years, may be spent in ascending to higher and higher leveK, a long pause being made after every considerable advance. , The highest ascent now on record is that of Aconcagua, in the Andes, the elevation of which as 23,080 feet, 5,922 feet, or more than a mile, less than the height of Everest.

Probably few persons who go up or down Broadway or any other important thoroughfare of New York city have ever stopped to ask why the hands on the faces of nearly all the big wooden clocks that swing as signs over jewelry stores indicate that it is eighteen minutes past eight o'clock. These clock hands indicate, according to the New York "Tribune," the exact time in. the evening when Lincoln, accompanied 'by his wife, left the White House on Apnl 14, 1805, to go to Ford's Theater, Washington, where John Wilkes Booth, the aotor, shot him. The man who first originated this wooden clock sign idea had a workshop in a downtown street in 1805, and shortly after the assassination he conceived tho idea of painting tho hands on all his signs to point out this special time. His successors m the business continued the practice, as din other men. There is probably not a great street in New1 York city to-day that has not one or more of these reminders.

Tills untamable'little creature, which Is well called "Tho Terror of tho, Neighborhood," is perhaps the most feared and dreaded of all animals, and the one that causes the most aggravation. Host peopie have the same instinctive desire to throttle a boy at sight, and on general principles, that they have to kill a snake.^ Unfortunately, the' law prevents .this; and' as it has been found inexpedient to keep it confined like a lion or a jackal in a steel cage, out of harm's way, human beings have been unable to protect themselves against a creature so bloodthirsty that it finds its chief- delight in torturing its victims. This causes everyone to view the advent of a Boy sin a community with alarm, while the presence of two or three depreciates the value of property and makes nervous people flee from tho vicinity. ' , ' ' Although naturalists have devoted much time to the study of this subject, *hey have never been aible to definitely classify the Boy, owing to his partaking of the obnoxious traits of all the'other animals. "Physically, it is all Stomach and Yell,;witti a rudimentary heart and ,no soul. Notwithstanding all this, however, the ���Boy is'greatly esteemed as a household pot, and is quite generally kept in that capacity. Indeed, few families are satisfied and happy without one, although after"'having received one they never know another minute's peace and quiet as long as they 'have it about the house. This is the most startling fact in all natural history, as, having obseived their friends' boys, one would think that no money, could induce a person to undertake to raise a creature that was so ^much trouble. In looks th�� Boy presents a curious anomaly, as it changes at diffeient ages. When it is quite young, and at the time, It may be observed, that most people select it, it is soft and beautiful, with an angelic expression that appeals strongly to female owners and causes them to rave over it. ' * A little later it gets stringy and long- legged, with, pale green freckles and warts, and generally uncouth and unprepossessing appearance. -Fortunately, however, by this time its owners_ have become attached to it; "otherwise jt would be cast out to perish. The habits of the Boy afford a most instructive study. It eats steadily from the time it gets up until it goes to bed, and devours the most indigestible sub-1 stances "with perfect impunity. Green apples, liquorice, hunks of bread and meat, doughnuts and whole pots of jam disappear down its throat without raising the slightest commotion in its stomach. When it is not opening i$s mouth to poke food down, it is opening it to emit a series of hideous sounds, so practically a Boy's mouth is never shut. These sounds are unintelligible to human beings, 'but are apparently understood by its mates. _ Naturalists also call attention to th�� fact that a Boy is the only animal that spends its time in play, and it haa been further observed that it soon wearies of any sport that does not hurt someone else. Another curious thing is that although a Boy can play all day, he becomes ill and weary the minute work is' suggested to him or ho starts to school. This is probably constitutional. Occasionally a boy has been broken in to do a few household tasks, but it re-( quires so much energy and trouble to | make it do any useful work that few . people have the physical strength to at- j tempt it. Boys are also femiphobes, and frequently bite and kick when a pretty girl desires to kiss them and stroke their hair. In time, however, they can be broken of this bad.habit, and taught to endure female caresses with much equanimity. The chief characteristic of a Boy is his aversion to- soap and water. In this it is like the cat, and it is with difficulty driven near the bath tub. It also balks at being* dressed up and shown off before company. Now and then, it is ,true. you find one who will consent to be adorned in Fauntleroy collars, and who will get out on the floor and do its little tricks without *he whip, but these are never pure-blooded Boys. They aTe mongrels with a strong strain of ��issy in them. A curious thing in this connection is that everyone who own3 a Boy believes that he is a wonder and will be a future winner in the show. He also bitterly resonte the insinuation that his Boy possesses tho same characteristics of other boys, or would be guilty of such a thing as breaking windows or1 ringing old | maids' door bells. J .,.,.' Most people, as has been said, like to keep a Boy themselves, but all, without exception, object to their neighbor's, and those who have none get even by prophesying evil things of the Boy across the etreet. Sometimes, however, tho creature turns out well, and then wo all brag that we knew it when it waa a Boy. i . . | Hie Complaint I am a ibaby, eleven months ofld, and Wrly worn out already.

' - .There are luminous hours in our Ives when the soul yearns to emaiid-" pate itself from the limitations under which it ,was born and has continued to exist, and seeks to rise to some ligher estate of manhood or woman- pood.

The wall was built about 303 A.D. by the Emperor Constantlne, to keep out the hordes Of Plots and Soots, at which time, north of the wall, was a huge forest tract infested with wild bcirs.

The ploughing between the rows and extensive hilling once in fashion is not the best method for the present time, and certainly is not the cheapest. It is laid ^that when the potatoes were brought back to,their native,home from Ireland the practice of lulling was Drought with them. I know of no other reason for it. In'that country^ they made hills, to get them up out of the too moist soil; here we need more moisture as a rule. The roots are the means by which food is obtained; to cut off roots is to cut off'food supply. The roots as they become "old ,and tough lose the power to take in food, and the process is continued further out where they are smaller. The older the plant the further from the base is the food obtained. - The growth and length of the roots are very great. When the_ foliage is not more than :en inches high the roots are eighteen inches long; later they are from three to five feet. Should one'wash away :he dirt carefully and get all the roots without breaking them, they would make a rope larger than a braid of a woman's hair. It is sale to say that by ir"'lsummer_theie is not an inch of soil in a potato field that'is not filled with the roots.' No deep cultivation can be given at this time without tnittry. Once I grew 150 bushels an acre without any cultivating at all. Potatoes grow in spite of, not because of, cultivation. We cultivate to keep down weeds, to break up the crust and, preserve the water supply, not to make-potatoes grow. If you do not believe it, plant some and cover with straw, and sec. The method which will do all of.thebe things best, quickest and cheapest, without injuring the root growth, is the one we want and are seeking., The previous preparation has much to do with the methods we can use, and the after treatment should always be kept in mind when planting any crop. Potatoes that are planted shallow must be hilled up some or they will be sunburned ; hence, , level culture requires deeper planting. The new tubers are -always attached :o the stalk, and are always above the leed piece planted. Therefore, a shallow-planted potato must be covered t��y hillinp; to keep the new tubers cov- tred. This hilling not only cuts off :he roots, but gives the sun a chance jo dry out the sides of the hills and decrease the yield. Where the mark was shallow and the ���oil was not very mellow, I would plough deep between the rows with 1 one-horse plough or cultivator with rery sharp# teeth the minute the potatoes begin to come up and before the roots are long. I would turn the dirt onto them and completely cov- jr the just protruding top. This will ���mother small weeds, cover them decp- :r and loosen the soil between the rows all at one operation; but the seeder across the rows should follow it once, to level and loosen the dirt ihat is on the plants. If you have 10 weeder use a harrow with "pig" teeth. -The roots are the canals and the water the agent which carries the food through them to the foliage. One aiust dig up the soil well, so the canal ��n get through it, and so the capillary action will furnish water. This cultivation must be done", for no one ever ���ecceeded in-growing a good crop in hard soil, and it must be done before the canal is made (grown) or it will be destroyed. After the first deep, thorough work, twice in a row, the teeth should not go deeper than two inches again at any time. Where the tubers are covered four nehes deep, as they should be, they should be harrowed with a smoothing aarrow, or a spring tooth with teeth set shallow, twice t before they come tp. This will not' tear them out; do tot be "afraid of it. Let the team jvalk between the rows and not step Dn the hills. When they come up the ground should, be as clean of weeds and'as level' as ' a house floor, mellow as a garden and the undersoil moist. ' After :hey are two inches high and have turned green, harrow or cultivate and follow with'a weeder. Always.use a weeder across the rows, as it will level down the dirt which is worked toward t?r plants, is less likely to cover with stone and takes out ,the weeds better. Work,over the potatoes often snough to keep any crust from forming, to keep sprouting^ weeds killed, ind raise a dust to drive away flea beetles. Unless compelled by the'manner of planting, do not hill up at all. The workings will work up a little soil, and there will he a rounded surface toward the plant but no deep trenches. By this method of using the team harrows and weeder the cost of cultivating should be only a few dollag*-4 an acre; for a boy. who costs' 50 cents, and the team will harrow ten or twelve acres a day, and do it better than any man and cultivator. The great trouble with all ordinary cultivation is that the weeds "in the hill and the crust on it are not broken and both cause a loss, that the 'cost is too great and too much time is taken. To grow potatoes at from 10 to 20 cents a bushel we must adopt improved methods.���G., E. Chapman, in N. Y. "Tribune Farmer." ((f Antarctic Exploration. , We have yet to get many of the de^ tails of what the Discovery has achieved 'in the Antarctic for exploration and scl- snee, says Tho London Chronicle. More- aver, when the relief ship Morning left tier, bringing news to New Zealand, she had only half done her work. We know snough, however, to be able to say that the present Biltish Antarctic expedition will rank as one of the most notable in the history of polar travel and research. Captain Scott and his comrades of tho great sledge journey got nearer to *the ���outh pole by two hundred miles than anybody has been before. They reached 52 deg. 17 S., and it is not impossible that during,their second year's stay in theso regions they may contrive to surpass this record. Then land has been found at the extremity of ithe ice barrier, and It has been made .clear that Mounts Erebus and Terror form part of an island set' in a strait, and not, as once had been thought, part of ��� a solid. Antarctic continent. Altogether, a * very remarkable addition is likely to be made to our knowledge of the Antarctic, and' 30 to our full understanding of the'globe, when the Discovery comes back from the wilderness of ice which has closed around her. Her equipment for her mission is In singular contrast for its completeness to that of the craft which first sailed to the far south. Chronicles of them go back to the early part of the eighteenth century, and suggest the names of George Shelvoke and Lozier Bouvet of Crozet, . James Cook and Furneaux. The nineteenth century brings us to'Bel- linghausen, the Russian, to Charles Wilkes, the American, and in particular to the expedition, in the years 18J9-41, of Sir James Ross He discovered Victoria Land, christened Mounts Erebus and Terror after his own ships, and reached as far towards the south pole as 78 deg. 10. In 1874 Sir George Nares, with the Challenger, first crossed the Antarctic Circle by steam,and In recent years there have been the expeditions of the Belgica and of the Southern Cross, the latter fitted out by Su George Newnes,, and commanded by Mr. C. E. Borch- grcvlnk, who penetrated to 78 deg. 50 south. With the coming of the twentieth century there also came a revival of Antarctic exploration, on what may fairly be called the giand scale. Scottish, German and Swedish expeditions are all at present probing the seciets of the far south, and all in such a way that, they work in with the larger undertaking organized by the Royal Geographical Society. The Discovery took the route of the Ross Sea, while the Scotia approached the polar ice fiom the direction of tho Falkland Islands The Swedish vessel Antarctic went by Cape Horn and Graham Land, and the German ship Gauss bv Kerguelen. "The main objects," sild Sir Clements Markham, discussing Antaictlo exploration before the Discovery sailed from England, ' aro to determine as far as possible the extent and nature of the south polar land, to ascertain the nature of its glaciation and the condition of the ice-cap, to observe the character of the underlying rocks and to mako a magnetic survey south of 10 deg., S. Much impot tance is also attached to the meteorological observations, and especially to meteorological observations south of 74 dog. Deep-sea Bound- Ings, with temperatures, are also to ba taken, and biological observations nro to be made." Hero was work enough for the Discovery. Sho sailed from England In July, 1901, for Now Zealand. At Lyttlo- ton Captain Scott made his final preparations and then steamed south into tho ley unknown. During the ensuing Antarctic summer sho visited Capo Adar��, Wood Bay, and Cape Crozler, and made a far-reaching cruise eastward along tho Ice barrier. The coast was followed to latitude 76 deg., longitude,162 deg. 30 min., or about 160 miles beyond the furthest point previously reached in. this direction. The land dlscoveied In the extremity of the ice barrier was extonslve and rugged, peaks and mountains rising from It into the clear Antarctic sky. Returning westward, the Discovery eventually found excellent winter quarters���she was still frozen in when the Morning left���in the vicinity of Mount Erebus, where Mc- Murdo Bay is Indicated on the map. "Here," Sir Clements Markham had said, speaking in anticipation, "there is probably a better climate than at Capo Adare, because it is within the anti- cyclonic region," It has now been ascertained that McMurdo Bay Is really a strait, and valuable observations have been made as to the volcanic Mounts Erebus and Terror. Only smoke, not Are, seems to have been seen issuing from them, and by It tho officers ana crew of the Discovery could tell the direction of the wind. A trying but valuable sledge expedition was made to Houut Terror by a party under Lieutenant Royds. The log-books of the Discovery also record a fin�� piece of work by Lieutenants Armitage and Skelton, who were away twenty-one days exploring thd western range of Antarctic mountains. Greatest of all in this ice travelling was, of course, tho Journey southward of Cap- ta*A, Scott's .own party. If they got nearer. by SS7 miles���that seems to he as exact a calculation as can be made at the moment���to'the south'pole than anybody has been before, they assuredly did it by heroic toll nnd endurance. Exposure almost cost one of them his life, t and as their dogs died they luid themselves to drag the sledges'back to the- Discovery. Her people will have adventures enough to tell as well as a mine of Information to give tho world. , We , 'Bhall have the evidence which /points to- the icerbarrler being afloat, though connected with the land ice. Again, a Vic- torla Land traversed by ranges of high mountains will mean new marks on the- , south polar map. Withl/i the present , month the full, despatches brought by the Morning from the Discovery will b�� available' in England. The intention is / to make their contents public at a meeting of the Geographical Society held for the purpose. It Is possible that the King, or the Prince of Wales may be present at this meeting. (\ Aliens in Britain. t The' President of the Local Government Board has furnished Sir Howard Vincent. M.P., with the result of the inquiries he- has made concerning the destitute aliens relieved from the British poor rate in- England and Wales during the year 1302. ���.* Hie result * is not less remarkable than that shown by Mr. Akers-Douglas' recent census of the foreigners in his Majasty's prisons. That showed n-total of nearly - beven hundred criminal aliens, maintain- . , ed by tho British 1, taxpayer at a cost estimated at ��.10,000 a year, apart from. tholr depredations and the expense of., - law and police. Four thousand six, nun-, dred and eighteen destitute aliens were granted poor-law relief last year. Or . these, 1,929 were admitted as indoor cases, while 237 were bent to lunatic or imbecllfr asylums. London accounts in the total for 3,234 destitute aliens, of whom ,l,fw werei indoorrtand 1G8 lunatics, or idiots.., -, The provinces afforded relief to 1,384 des- ��� tltute aliens and 120 alien vagrants, an��> sent 69,to lunatic asylums.. The greatest, charge fell upon Liverpool, ������ with< 4351 destitute aliens, of whom 391 were indoor and ten lunatic. Leeds was, however, a ' good second in this hospitality.. ".JieBerj ' was afforded to 445 destitute, aliens, rut ��� of these only 41 were admitted ind->or��. -" Twenty-four aliens, upon the other haua,, were sent to the West ^ Riding lunatic- > asylums. Birmingham Union comes third ��� with 121 alien paupers. But Caiiiff Js only one point behind, with 120. or ���; whom 84 were indoor and 27 lunatic. West - Derby, Manchester, Salford and Pi est-,, wich come next in order, while the un- t - Ions of Sheffield and Ecclesall. maintain" < 21 aliens, Including one idiot. Ihe na- , tionallty of these 4.G18 destitute aliens ���was thus made up :���Russians and'Po.es, 2,486 : Germans,' 710 ; Italians, 2o2 ; Aus- , trians, 143 ; Roumanians, 63 ; other na- t tionalities, 464. It is to be remembered v- that the poor law relief is entirely independent of that afforded by the Jewish Boards of Guardians and-the Russo-Jew- , ish Joint Committe", 'who.relieved in tli��. course of last year upwaids of 6,000 c.ca- ( titute aliens in London alone. Last year the Home Office Issued letters of British^ naturalization to upwards of 800 aliens, one-half of whom were Russians '��M-., Poles. ' -������fi The statement Is made ,that the first "black"list of habitual drunkards' pub-, llshed in London under the new licensing law contains the names of three time*- as many women as men. ,. r ", ' 'An Indian Postage Stamp. We published recently, saysf The Dally Graphic, the accompanying facsimile of a'_ postage stamp of the native Indian State t of Bundi, in Rajputana, sent to us by Messrs". Whitfield King & Co. of Ipswich, who wrote :���'JUnfortunately we can give you no translation of the inscription, nor a coriect description of the central design, which looks to us like a one-eyed ' bandmaster repelling the attack of two-. vM Facsimile of the Stamp���Daily Graphic, abnormally big-headed calves, which are- evldently intended to represent Indian ScLCFcd bulls" i -~ Mr. J. V. Densal, writing from on board the steamship Oceana, off Port Said, has kindly sent us a translation of the inscription and an explanation of the.design. He says :��� ��� J, "The top line means the State of Bundi. The line under it consists of two letters- forming one word, meaning 'one.' The lino under the design also consists of two letters, making ono word, 'anna.* The last line gives the year of the issue, Samvat, 1954,' corresponding with A.D . 1898. This is a o'nc anna stamp, issued by the State of Bundi in 1898. "Tho design, too, Is tlniple. It is meant to represent tho emblem of the particular sect of Hinduism to which tho Chief or Bundi belongs. A bull is used as a conveyance by the Hindu god Siva, and the followers of that sect have bulls as their signs," - ' A Valuable Picture Refused. There has Just come to light in Bristol, England, an interesting romance or a picture. For some years there has been hanging in the Bristol Toung Men's Christian Association a picture entitled "The Holy Family." The owner lent ��t Tor a long time, and once proposed that the association should buy it. He did not wish to drive a hard bargain. The picture was obviously a good one ; it was 3ix feet by four and a half feet. Would the committee like to buy it for ��i0 T. "If you would," he 3ald, "I am so mueh in sympathy with your excellent work that I am willing to contribute *S myself toward the purchase mofley." ��Jt the committee felt that they had more- Important demands for their ��5 notee, and they replied accordingly. By atid ny the owner died, and the executors began to realizo hlB estate. Tho picture was looked up and the work was ordered to be pacTced and sent to London for sale. Judge the satisfaction of the executojn when they received an offer of ��7!000- for it, and were advised not to sell under ��10,000. Experts have identified the picture as from the brush of Pietro de Cor- tona, the-great Italian pakiter of the early seventeenth century. i Lever's Y-Z (Wise Head) Disinfectant Soap Powder is better than other powders, as it is both Map and disinfectant. 34r ���i 11 '���' :o- j���.. ---^*ej. .^._u.^uj .itjJirt^.i..^jai. a <..-=.��uai,^, AJk*j��aU!Jia*u����tMs.^cWsijaiJ_r_ ^.irxc^t^^j.. i l.M-,T��r - i)i-JJ)i.\.sAss-auuii H.
