Arctic Cold.

, Oar physical sensations are relative, •ays a traveler in Arctic ref ions, and the mere enumeration of so many decrees of heat or oold fives no idea of their effect upon the system. . I should have frozen at home in a (temperature which I found very comfortable in Lapland, with my solid diet (of meat and butter and my garments of reindeer. The following is a correct scale of the physical effects of cold, calculated for the latitude of 65 to 70 degrees north: Fifteen degrees above zero—Unpleasantly warm. Zero —Mild and agreeable. Ten degrees below zero—Pleasantly fre3h and bracing. Twenty degrees below zero*—Sharp, but not severely cold. Keep your fingers and toes in motion and rub your nose occasionally. Thirty degrees below zero—Very cold. Take particular care of your no?e and extremities; eat the fattest food and plenty of it. Forty degrees below zero—lntensely cold. Keep awake at all hazards, muffle up to the eyes, and test your circulation frequently, that it may not stop somewhere before you know it. Fifty degrees below zera—A struggle for life.

Our Rapid Transitory Existence

Is brief enough without our shortening it by seeking medical aid, when we are somewhat unwell, from sources where it. is only obtainable with great risk. Even if the old doctrine were true that violent diseases require violent remedies, It does hot follow that drastic purgatives, narcotics, powerful "sedatives" of the nervous system are advisable in cases where slight disorders manifestly call for the use of milder means of recovering, involving no subsequent danger, but equally efficient. Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters not only relieves, but ultimately and completely relieves disorders of the stomaoh, liver, bowels and nerves. It is a genuine tonic, healthfully stimulates the kidneys, it is a thorough alterative, and a most effectual preventive of chills and fever and bilious remittent. The utmost confidence can be reposed in the purity and safety of its medicinal ingredients.

Restoring a Withered Arm.

The story comes from London of a wonderful surgical operation that promises to be successful. Five years ago a workman injured his right arm, and a careless surgeon so treated it that it withered and became useless. Recently it was decided to examine the arm, and it was accordingly opened and explored. The nerve was found to be partially divided. Two fresh ends [were made and a section of the sciatic nerve from a live rabbit was stitched In. The patient has now recovered the power in his arm, which is regaining \ts original size, and he is following fiis employment. The Duke of Oporto, brother of the King of Portugal, is one of the finest flute-player 3 in the world. N. K-Brown’s Essence JamalcaGlnger is a resident physician—always at hand. Try it. 25 cts.

THE CRADLE IN WHICH JOHN QUINCE ADAMS WAS ROCKED.

How cradles were made in which babies were laid A long, long time ago. This one Is of wood, all strong and good: It has lasted for many a day, And will always be treasured, while time Is measured, For in It a President lay. Can you tell me his name? It Is linked with fame— His father was President, too; And the Old Bay State had the honor great Of giving these statesmen two Won’t I tell It? Why, yes, if you’re sure you can’t guess; It was John Quincy Adams, good man. Who was rocked In this cradle, this oldfashioned cradle. When Its history began. And his children, too. and all babies new, That into that family came, With their laughter and and tears, for a hundred years. Were rocked In it just the same. —Julia Wolcott In Little Men and Women. After tlie Circus. Well, what do you think our little girl dreamed One night when she got Into bed? She had been to the circus, and all that She saw was bobbing ab iut In her head.

Dandy's Comfortable House. Of course most of you have seen dogs that had houses of their own, warm, comfortable kennels, but it is not likely that many of you have ever heard of a dog with a home with windows and doors, colored glass, and a sign—in fact, a complete cottage, with all modern improvements—for dogs. There is such a dog, though, and such a house up in Somerville, Mass., anti not long ago the Boston Globe sent an artist up there to get a picture of Dandy and his property. Dandy is a fat little pug,-7 years old, and his master and mistress are very fond of him. He has many other friends, too, among them a carriage builder, who has of late been spending his spare time putting Dandy’s house together. It is a perfect model of a full-sized dwelling, and stands between 3 and 4 feet in

DANDY AND HIS HOUSE.

height. Everything about the house is perfect Kn its way. The clap-boards and shingles are all of the right size, and fit into place exactly. There are over 3,000 shingles on the roof. One pair of window blinds contain more than 60 tiny slats, and have brass hinges and fastenings. The window panes are of glass, about IJx2s inches, and each window has a tty screen to keep the breeze away from Dandy when he sleeps in the afternoon. On the edges of the roof are little rain gutters, and there are spouts to carry off the water. Dundy's master is thinking of running a small steampipe to heat the house when cold weather comes, and he has started to put in an electric alarm to call the pug when he is wanted. Up in - the front of the gable is a round piece of colored glass, and across the front is the sign, “Dandy Cottage,” in ebony letters inlaid in tulip wood. The house is painted yellow, with white trimmings and a brown roof. The front door—of course Dandy doesn’t use it, as nearly half of one side of the house is removed to let him in and out —is fitted with brass knob, colored glass and a brass-handled bell. You may imagine that Dandy is proud of bis home and that he has lifted his short nose high above all other dogs that have no real estate. Naming the Babies. “Whatever shall I call them?” said little adoptive Mother Marguerite, fondly. Real Mother Ca + » looked a bit anxious. “I’ll ask tt» ladies,”

•aid Marguerite. “The ladies" were the four summer boarders. Off from the vine-hung piazza and into the parlor went the two mothers with the babies. Those grown-up ladies tossed aside their fancy work and were down on the rug in a minute, stroking the wee kittens. “Let's each name one. This shall be Buttercup.” Buttercup had blotches of yellow. “This is Thelma,” said the next lady, who was rather romantic and had just read a book with that title. Marguerite thought they were nice names, Buttercup especially. Her heart stood quite still, though, when the other two were named “Moses" . and “Nebuchadnezzar.” “I’ll n£ter; call them so,” she thought. The kit- i tens throve as if no big names! weighted them. They became Neb and Mose “for short.” The four were such frisky, rollicking things. Every day they had a frolic in the parlor, because it amused the summer boarders. This is a true story. While I tell It, says Helen Hawley, in the St. Louis Republic, the little adopted mother’s lap is empty, and the real Mother Cat is lonely, because her

children have done that sad thing which children persist in doing—they have grown up. Mabel’s Grandpa. Mr. Bennett is a bright and wellpreserved old gentleman, but to his little granddaughter, Mabel, he seems very old indeed. She had been sitting on his knee and looking at him seriously for some moments one day, when she said, “Grandpa, were you in the ark?” “Why, no, my dear!” gasped the astonished grandparent. Mabel’s eyes grew large and round with astonishment. “Then why weren’t you drowned?” she asked.

Hurrah for Posey County!

“Thomas P. Harris and family, oi Posey County, Indiana, moved to Saline County, Illinois, last winter, arriving at their new home Dec. 2,” says John S. Williams, in the Mount Vernon (Ind.) Democrat. “The Monday following, Dec. 0, his children, five in number, started to school. Tne school was over one-half out when they started. They attended school just two and one-half months at the Shady Grove school, Saline County, 111. They had attended school about the same length of time at the Miller school in Black Township before leaving this State. “There were eight prizes given for good scholarship by the teachers of Shady Grove school, and Mr. Harris’ children captured every one of them. Charley Harris, aged 14 years, took two prizes, competing against 20-year-old pupils; Ina, aged 12 years, took two prizes, competing against pupils 18 years old; Maggie, aged 0, carried off two prizes, competing against 15-year-old pupils; Herbert and Herman, twins, aged 7 years, captured one prize each, competing against 12-. year-old pupils. “On the last night of school, they had an old-fashioned spelling match, such as we used to have in Indiana thirty years ago. The teacher told everybody to stand up and spell, and when one missed a word he had to sit down. There were two teachers present who took part in the spelling, and who do you think stood up the longest? One of the Sucker school teachers, of course. Well, hardly. It was little Ina Harris, formerly of Miller’s school, ‘Hooppole Township, Posey County, Ingiany,’ aged 12 years, and don’t you fail to comment upon it! “Read this, ye carping critics of Chicago—ye who have been poking fun at ‘Posey County, Ingiany!’ Go to! Weep and howl for your miseries that shall come upon you! Verily, it would be better to have one of your pork houses tied about your neck and be cast into the depths of Lake Michigan than to try to spell down a 12-year-old pupil from ‘Posey County, Ingiany,’ schools. “Ahem, gentlemen, take the witness. We will acknowledge the ‘hooppoles and pumpkins’ if you longnosed Suckers will tell us what you have to brag about. Hurrah for Posey County! “Chicago papers please copy.”

Fans.

Fans have long since gone beyond the stage of strict use, and are now regarded as a part of the finished toilet of the well-dressed woman. For this particular summer, the black fan hokls the highest place in regard of “fair woman.” The kinds most in favor are those of plain black silk, mounted on various colored sticks, or else the spangled ones. A few years back, the only spangled fans were of silk, but we have now the daintiest creations in gauze and net. To one skilled in the manipulation of one of these very useful little articles, its absence creates a sort of void. It is so useful to fill up the pauses in an awkward conversation, or lend an expressive emphasis when words fail. By all means have a black fan, and learn how to use it effectively.

The Native Bride.

A native bride in Hindo3tan is loaded with all the jewelry she can get. She has a girdle at the waist, numerous rings, anklets, bracelets and bells, and decorations for the hair. Although she has never seen her Intended husband, she goes and sits beside him on the day of the ceremony. The priest takes a corner of the bride’s veil and ties it to the groom’s shawl, and they are married.

BLUFFING THE SCRAPPERS.

How a Slim Young Man Intimidated the Sports. “I saw a funny thing in Cheyenne k few weeks ago," said a Detroiter who returned from a Western trip the other day- “I was wandering around town to see the elephant and chance led me into a big saloon whero all the scrappers made their headquarters. Back of the saloon was a building where a professor of the manly art gave instructions, and where the ‘pugs’ thumped each other at exhibitions. They were ‘trying out’ a new arrival that day and 1 should say there were forty or fifty tough looking chaps in the place. Soon after I entered a young man who had come through fronj Denver in my ear dropped in. He couldn’t have been over 24 years of age, while he was over six feet tall and his weight only about 1 20 pounds. He was long-faced, thin and long-legged and reminded you of nothing so much as a boy on stilts. Two men were getting ready to go on when longlegs peeled off his coat, vest, tie and collar, put them in my charge, and climbed upon the platform.” “That was a deft to tho crowd?" “Exactly, and in about a minute they put a man up to punch his head off. They gave long-legs a second and the first thing he did was to take the glasses off the young man's nose. The latter reached for them and said: “ 'Excuse me, but I always light with my glasses on.’ “ 'But they’ll get knocked off or jammed into your face.’ “ ‘Don’t you believe it! It’s never (happened yet, and I don’t think it will now.’

“The scrapper over in the other corner couldn't make it out. Here was a man so sure of himself that ho was going to put up his dukes with a pair of eye-glasses on his nose. He must, perforce, be a kuocker-out from Ivnockersville, and it was better to retreat than to carry around a broken jaw. He therefore retreated. Several others came forward, but when they saw long-legs seated cross-legged In his corner with those glasses poised so jauntily they didn't want anything of him. Then he got up and said: “ ‘Gentlemen, there is no limit to weight. I always fight in glasses, as I’m a little near-sighted. I will, however, remove my glass eye and false teeth if deemed best. Will your best man step up here for a couple of rounds?’ “But no one stepped. He waited a minute or two and then pulled off the gloves with a look of disappointment and got into his clothes and we went out together. He didn’t look to me at all like a scrapper, and as we walked down the street 1 said: “ ‘What sort of a deal were you giving that crowd?’ “‘A gigantic bluff,’ he answered with a \augh. “ ‘Are you a fighter?’ “ ‘I never struck a blow in my life, not even in fun.’

“ ‘But suppose one of those scrappers had tackled you?’ “ ‘I should have hacked down and asked ’em all up to drink. But there was no danger. I’ve tried it half a dozen times before, and the glasses always settles ’em.’ “ ‘How about the glass eye and the false teeth?’ “ ‘I simply rung ’em In to help on the bluff. Haven’t got a false tooth in ray head, and both eyes are perfect. It’s a bluff of my own invention and works like a charm. Please don’t give it away.’ “And that afternoon,” said the Detroiter in conclusion, “when we took the train east there were a hundred sports down £t the depot to see longleg) off, and I’m a duffer if they didn’t present him with a bottle of wine and give him three cheers and a tiger!”—Free Press.

Sharp Watch.

The author of “Out of Doors in Tsarland” says that no person can live in Russia without being well known to the secret police, in whose records there is certain to be a long and exhaustive account of his personal history, including a list of his friends and associates, a description of his occupations and amusements, and a general sketch of his character. The author is disposed to think that the police are not unnecessarily suspicious, and that they seldom commit the blunder of molesting innocent people. On the other hand, he gives them credit for marvelous acuteness in the detection of crime. A foreign firm in St. Petersburg had in their employ a Russian clerk. He had been with them for many years, and enjoyed the best of reputation as an honest and faithful man. One day, to the boundless astonishment of the foreign merchant and his staff, the office tyas visited by a pristaf, or chief officer of the police force.

“I have called to inquire,” he said, “whether you have lately been robbed by any of your clerks?” The merchant answered that nothing of the kind had happened. Why was the question asked? The pristaf explained that, although the firm might have felt no uneasiness about the proceedings of their clerk, Mr. V , yet the police had long had their suspicions, which suspicions had culminated in his arrest at the railway station that very morning. Would the gentleman please give orders to have the books of the firm carefully gone over, to see whether there had been any defalcation? Witn strong protests on the part of the merchant against this unjust treatment of his trusty clerk, an examination was begun; and it soon transpired that the firm had been plundered to theextentof more than twenty thousand rubles! Then, of course, the merchant begged to know how the police had Decorne aware of what was going on. The officer explained that it was all simple enough. Mr. V had been seen to be spending more moi.ey than a man in his position could be presumed honestly to have. Watch had been kept upon him accordingly'. Hi* champagne suppers, his boxes at the opera, and such expenditures hid been recorded. It was known also that he had made a large remittance to a “friend” in Paris, and so, when he went to therailway station to buy his ticket to that city he was arrested. A man Is known by his laugh.

A QUEER DWELLING.

the House Is Built of Sea-Shells Lal&ls Cement. U Arizona is literally covered with the ruins of strange habitations. Most of them are constructed of concrete or adobe, and the mystery about them is the identity of the people who designed them. How they could be built is not a matter of conjee* tore, as the materials are close at hand. But there is one ruin, although still in a good state of preservation, that is a mystery, no matter in what light it is considered. It is in the Huachuca Mountains, not far from the military reservation, in a northeasterly direction. Nothing is known of its origin, and t)i6 wonderful part is the material of which it is constructed. It is about 200 miles from the ocean and surrounded on all sides by hills of sand ana rocks covered with cacti. There is no water for miles, except the excuses for rivers that run in the rainy season, There is not even the suggestion of water, and yet the house is built of sea-shells laid in a sort of oement. Where the shells were obtained is a mystery that may never be solved. It does not seem possible that the builder of that house would carry the material Over hundreds of miles of desert when there were plenty of rocks near by that would answer the purpose just as well, even though they were not so unique. The house is built in the shape of the straw hdts of the Papago Indians and is about the same size. There is room inside foi five or six persons, but at present nol>ody occupies it, except, perhaps, some prospector who uses it for a temporary shelter in cold weather. There are a dozen varieties of shells to be found in the walls, and one over the door is of extraordinary

The Lesser Evil.

An Italian prince, who had a Sicilian cook,' was once traveling to his provincial estates (says the Bazar), taking with him his cook, together with his entire kitchen force, without which, so fond was he of the, delicacies they were wont to prepare, he rarely if ever traveled. At a point where the narrow path along the precipice turned the angle of a projeeting rock, the prince, at the head of his long cavalcade, heard a shriek and the splash of a body falling into the torrent far belpw. With a face white with horror he pulled up, and. looking back,exclaimed; “Thecook! the cook! Oh, do not tell me it if, the cook!” “No, your excellency,” cried a voice from the rear; “it is Don Pro6docemo.” The prince heaved a sigh of intense relief, then said. “Ah, only the chaplain! Thank good ness!”

Wanted the Stubs.

Ono of tho most prominent members of tho Nebraska bar was especially noted for tne'd&eot with which be addressed juries. When once underway, ho drew 'upon his memory and Imagination impartially, and Imbout regard ,to Application or circumstcnoes, much less to accuracy, poured forth a torrent 'of classical and historical references which no jury could withstand. On an Important oriminal trial in whloh he [represented tho dofendont, the dlstriot attorney had made a strong speech, In Iwhich certain checks were an important point. The opening sentences of the judge’s answer, pronounced with groat deliberation and emphasis and with immonse effect, wore: ''Gentlemen of the jury, my learned friend has said a great deal to you about these checks; but let mo aslc him, where are •he stubs? Gentlemen, It may bo that somo things are conspicuous in their presence, but there are others which Are far more conspicuous in their absence.

When Admiral do Horaoy, who some years ago had oommand of the British fleet in the Pacific, was the admiral of the North Atlantic Squadron, he was one evening dining on shore at Port Royal, Jamaica. On returning to his flag-ship alone after dinner, his way to the boat led across the barrack square. A black sentry, of one of the West India regiments, halted him at the gate with, “Who goes dar?" Great Was the admiral's annoyance to And he bad neglected to get tho pass-word before leaving the ship. “That’s all right," he said, carelessly, hoping tp overcome the man's scruples by indifference; “you know who I am."
