is completely buried by perennial snow, nor that the sea Is always covered by paleocrystlc ice floes or isountainous ice masses. During the low arctic night such conditions are fairly constant, but for much of the year the genial rays of the sun are lt.

Our headquarters (the 11 Peary expedlt'ior,) in 1891 wrro pitched on the northwest mmt of Green bind, near the seventy-«ighth parallel of latitude, which is about, midway fu-uvceri the north pole and tb« Ar tf circle. In this latitude the seasons are briefly as follows:

Along nlghtlcss summer day of nearly four months and an extended dayless winter night of nearly four months. These periods are Kcparuttnl from each other by a season of advancing night during the autumn when thu sun gradually recedes, but reappears for a shorter period every succeeding day, until it Anally remains below thts rizon on Oct. 25. In the spring there is a similar period, but it is the dawn of the coming day. The sun reappears on Feb. 14. It IIrat remains only a few minutes, but each succeeding day it rises higher and sweeps more of the southern sky, until about May 1 it rc mains above the horizon, and then the long arctic day with Its silvery glory begins.

Tho specific fleets of cold and darkness and light are difficult of analysis, more so among the members of our party than among tlio native people and animals. The effect of isolation, of change of food, clothing and habits of life, Is so potent that any physical or mental peculiarities must necessarily Include these elements.

The withdrawal of heat Is so gradual that the animal organisms have an opportunity to protect themselves. During tho summer (the only time when tho extreme north Is accessible) the temperature and some of the meteorological conditions are much like on* March and April weather. Inercdiblo myriads of birds In summer plumage, fresh from tho temperate zono, now congregate on the off lying Islands and moss covered rocky cliffs, but with the first warning of tho polar night, as the sun drops below tho southern sky, they quickly emigrate to a moro congenlnl land, leaving '«pparently lifeless tho cold shores which have been animated by their wild shrills of love and joy. Thoir powers and Instincts aro such that they havo only to seek the lands which aro bost adapted to their manner of living. Many of tho forms of sea life aro able to do tho samo, but mnn and all other land animals must remain and becomu adapted to the changing conditions.

Tho polar bear ohanges his fur during tho sumnior to protect him from tho ex poeted cold next winter, but life is to him an awful struggle during tho long night. Nevertheless he early develops an ability to fast for prolonged periods, which is a faculty jJosscFKed by all tho other arctic lend life. The nearly complete covering of ••ho sea by the winter lee deprives him of his accustomed souroo of food honeo ho must either hibernate or find his way far out over a lifeless sea of Ice to the open water, where varying fortunes may put him In possession of an unwary meal. Hut with all bruin's ingenuity and hard earned adaptability long periods of famine aro always before him.

The native people, like tho animals, havo evolved a system of life arid adaptation to their habitat which could not lie much Improved by civilized aid. They aro able to withstand long periods of famine, like the deer nnd bear, with no apparent Injury, except a loss of bodily weight. Their cutaneous circulation Is always profuse. The iscular outlines are largely obliterated by an envelopment of llbro fatty tissue like that of the seal and walrus. The Intestinal capacity Is greatly Increased to'almftt greater surface for tho absorption of iltrogenous and fatty foods.

I shall always remember our camps while traveling over tlv* •.ekloss wastes of snow dur.,.g this period, particularly tho stormy scries, We undressed In tho open air, crept Into our sleeping bags and with a rare delight, stretched out upon the virgin fields of snow for a long sleep. There was nothing but the high blue sky above us and often there were many hundred feet of snow and lee beneath us. At first, after ret inlng. wo were nearly stiff from cold, bt:t this was stton followed by glowing reaction, when wo were conscious of iKiumling streams of henti'd blood sent throbbing through tenso arteries, We felt doubly the wild pleasures of primitive life, as we heard the roaring storms ami fc't the snow ehnrped winds blasting against our protected bodies,

Such stunns always brought us to sharp consciousness of the superb auinml comfort, as comfort* *0 In the arctic. All of this served K. enhance our ad mi mt ion for the wonderful mechanisms of the human body. Nothing could bring one to nkeener realisation of this than our experience. To feel tho heart force heat and life to tho surface while ,*csting over and sometimes under blam.et of protecting »now Is to feel the electric glow which for the want of a better term we call Ufa.

In conclusion I wish to emphasize the foot that It Is not the low temperature of the urvtio from which explorers suffer. It is the long and intense darkness and the Inability tu carry sufficient food and accustomed aids to }emnal comfort. But this Is easily commThatancett by the acute passions of life as they are brought out by the prolonged mwitday splendor after resting In the

TMany

rich corporations in the down

town business district: find it cheaper to treat their employees to a substantial free meal in the middle of the day than to allow to go oat and spend their own money for it. Three of the larger Insur-

But with the insur-

This arrangement is not prompted by motives of philanthropy by any means. The corporation makes money by it, ia spite of the large expense involved. Where several hundred clerks are employed tuo manageiwentcf the working force bacon es a complicated question. If allowed to go out for lunch, there are sure to be a great number of delinquents who do not get back within the allotted hour. The low priced public- restaurants are always overcrowded at neon, and the excuse of many of the clerks that they cannot get watted upon is a valid one. With many of tho men the temptation to drink stimulants when they go out f'or luncheon is also a matter for consideration, but tho saving of the employees' t'rae to the company during working biurs is tho main factor. With the telegraph corporation, for instance, the total gain of one-half hour from each employee svery day is enormous.

With tho Insurance companies the employees aro not obliged to. accept tho company luncheon, but there aro very few of them who do not take advantage of it. A good course inoal is served that would cost tho clerks far moro than they could probably afford to spend out of tho building. As the companies save from $200 to $300 worth of time each day tiiey can afford to bo liberal.—New York World.

FALTERED FOR AN INSTANT.

Dot That One Instant Hnil Given MnrlhorouKli Victory. At 5 o'clock Marlborough launched Che great attack. Slowly at first, but gathering momentum as they advanced, the long lines of horsemen came on. Tho nir was full of tho clangor of scabbard on stirrup. The squadrons wore just stretching themselves out into a gallop as they reached the summit of tho ridgo when they wero smitten by the fire of tho French infantry and artillery. So deadly and close was tho volley thac the loading squadrons wont down before it, nnd for a few wild minutes, under tho canopy of whirling smoko, Marlborough's horsemen wero in flerSo confusion.

That was tho moment for a countorstrokol Tallard saw it and gave tho word to his cavalry co chargo. They wero more numerous than the British, yet they faltorod. "I saw an Instant," wrote the unfortunuto Tallard afterward, "in which tho battle was gained if"—his cavalry, in brief, had charged! Hut it failed to chargo. Tho moment of possible victory vanished, and over tho crest, with bont heads and wind blown crests, the glean: of a thousand swords and thu thunder of innumerable galloping hoofs, oame the British cainhy.

Tallard'4 center was broken as with the stroko of a thunderbolt! His Infantry was swept Into ruins, his cavalry hurled into disordered flight and his army fairly out In twain. His left wing fell back, fighting desperately, but his light, the elite of his army, was hopelessly shut up In Blenheim Itself. As night pll Marlborough drew his lines closely round the village. Webb, with tho Queen's regiment, blocked one avenue of escape, and a cavulry^forcG—one regiment of which consisted of Sects grays—guarded. tho other The French general in command of Blenheim, believing tho situation to bo desperate, Ignobly abandoned his mon and tried to swim his horse nuross the Danube and was very properly drowned in the attempt.—Cornhlll.

A 'Vn»p'« Mlntnkc.

It Is generally supposed that Instinct unerringly teaches birds and insects tho best way In which to build their homes or nests and also to provide for their offspring. Tho following incident, recently under personal observation, will show that instinct Ia not always infallible:

A friend placed three small empty vlajp In an open bos. on a shelf in an upright position Un close contact, and they were uncorked. A short time afterward it was a matter of surprise to And that these hat! been appropriated by femalo mud wn.fy She had placed a goodly number of solders In tho center vial, doubtless intended to ivrvn as foott for her future brood, ther proceeded to deposit her eggs in those on either side.

WHAT WILL IT MATTER?

It mattereth not though with exquisite skill Yon select both arrow and bow. Only God, who marks the sparrow's flight,

Directeth the path it shall go.

It mattereth not if the song yon shall sing Be chosen from all others apart. Tis God alone can attune thy tone

To the weary, grief worn heart.

Yon may search the Scriptures from Genesis on As revealed by inspired pen You may choose oat the sweetest of beautiful words-

God only can fit them to men.

Yon may write from the depth of your inmost soul Of the tender, sweet themes graven there. But only the Master can nse tho poor words

To bless or to comfort despair.

But yet thou shalt hold with a firm, steady hand A shaft and a bow nonpareil, And the Workman who forged them will guide thi?e aright

And destine the point of thy steel.

The song thou shalt sing shall be rarest and best That from master and poet may fall Thy voice be aUtmed to its sweetest cadency

And through thy tones God's spirit will call.

And write astJod shall inspire thy pen. Though rib hoed upon earth may be given Thine owq soul will glow with the beautiful thought V( J"*.

AN OLD RAZOR.

The Story of Wliat Led to Its Rnnty Condition. I found it lying, apparently neglected, in the corner of a drawer. "Yon hardly seem in flourishing blroumstacces. To what do you attribute your—your rusty condition?'*

Mostly to pride." "Pride? That is very singular statement." "Well, I considered that my owner did not treat mo with next time we met "Dead?" "Not exactly, but he felt decidedly hurt." "Did ho remonstrate?" "It would, grieve me to repeat the language be used, but I was a match for him. Latterly I havo prided myself on my bluntness and am sure that I made him wince." "Was it then that you gave up shaving?" "Yes, I was forcibly retired without a pension. Still, 1 am not so keen on ehuving as I was when younger." "Perhaps you foel that you are no# reaping the results of your folly?" "Reaping! Is thy servant a scythe that you should talk of reaping?"

And I fancied that the razor ground its edge with indignation. "I apologize. I did not suppose you had anything to do with corn cutting. B^ the way, what have been your most thrilling experiences?" "I have been partially swallowed by a baby. I have also' been photographed in my case by the rays." "As an ex-razor, I presume, but there is nothing very thrilling about it. Have you not something more exolting to tell mo?" "Once a foolish young fellow, who had been crossod in love, surreptitiously borrowed me. He carefully felt my edge, stropped me to a nicety, and then"— "Th6n what?" "Shut mo up. And if you will bo so exceedingly kind as to tako the hint I shall feel very much obliged."

And tho razor shut up.—Fred Edmonds in London Skotch.

DOWN.

While universally used by the ancients, the form of tho bow varied with different nations, Tho Scythian bow, according to a writer in I.ippinoott's, was in the form of the letter C,1 and the bow of the Tartars—descendants of the Scythians—still keeps that sh.ipe.

The Greek bow was not more than three or four feet in length, but so stout and stiff that It required considerable strength nnd skill to use It. It Is said that tho first Greek bows wero made from tho horns of a species of goat, the bases being united by means of a metallic band. Afterward other material was used in their manufacture, but they still retained thoir original shape. These bows were too short to be of much use, and, comparatively speaking, but a small portion of tho troops were armed with them

Tho Romans carried the bow to Britain, where it at once obtained favor, and during tho middlo ages was oxtensively used, forming an important element of the armies of that period.

Tho English archers wero said to be the finest in tho world, and their skill decided the battles of Crecy, Poitiers and Aglncourt. The bows used were of two kinds —the long bow and tho arbalest or crossbow, The arbalest was made of steel or horn, nnd was of such strength and stiffness that it was necessary to use some mechanical applianco to bend f.t and adjust tho string. Tho arbalesticrs carried a quiver with 50 arrows and were placed in the van of the battle.

A Curioa* Stage Cntitom, It Is not generally known that tho last three or four words of a new dramatic production are nover spoken during the period of the rehearsal of the piece. Most frequently they are never written by the author.

The superstition of tho theatrical world is thfit it wonld be certain to bring bad luck to the piece if the last words were pronounced on the stage before the first night. But as the play must have an end. and it should be known to all present that it is at an end, the actor or actress intrusted with the last lines usually interpolates a word or two. For instance, the actor would say, "My dear girl, my dear boy, kneel before me, thaf I may forgive you and bless you with—a farthing cake." London Globe.

Everyone in and arpand Wellsville knows Mayor "Weltner, and of Ids progressive business ability,which has made hint a leader in various enterprises, it is this fact which inspires confidence and the hearty support of citizens in his undertakings.

About ten years ago lie appealed to the best local physicians, as well as to a number of specialists," for relief from the dread disease—eafarrht but his appeals*-were in vain the doctors' eflorts were fruitless. The disease, all the while, was fastening its clutehi-s firmer upon him and he was about to despair of ever.obtaining relief when Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People were recommended and as a last resort lie began their nse, the happy sequel of which is that he now feels like anew man.

I became aware about ten years ago," he says, "ofthe fact that some disease was preying upon nte. The physician whom I consulted diagnosed my case as 'pharyngeal catarrh' and prescribed for it.

Instead of getting relief the disease had deeper hold upon my system. "I sought other physicians, hut their treatment was unavailing. 1 tried a number of catarrh remedies, but without obtaining any relief to speak of, and had come to the conclusion that my case was incurable. Dr.

Flow«r» In the House.

The ordinary furnace heated houso is a bad place in which to grow plants. The air seems to have had all tho dampness removed, and that moist condition so conducive to a good growth in plants is not found. This may in a measure be overoomo by means of evaporation, which, while not supplying a great amount of moisture, should do something toward relieving the bad condition of the atmosphere. Place jars or pans of water in, around or about tho furnace, hang buckets of water down insido the furnace pipes below the registers or place them anywhere that rapid evaporation mny be induced. Keep all the plants in light, airy locations, but away from drufes. Never consign a well grown specimen palm to a corner of tho room, though it may look better there. Its beautiful appeurance will last a short time only in tho dark, close place. It may seem strange to some, but tho very best pjaco in tho houso, if the temperature oan there be maintained at an even point, is the kitchen, because of the constant evaporation of water as It puffs forth from tho spout of the teakettle.—Philadelphia Times.

The Girls Every One Llkei." The most lovable girls in tho world are thoso oi sunny disposition. A few people like tho quiet, thoughtful girl others like the girl who is perpetually vivacious and bubbling over with spirits^ but every one likes the girl with the cheery, sunny disposition. Girls of this character aro never extravagantly boisterous or dismally qui^t. They have a pleasant smile for every one. They never seem troubled or worried. Their voice is low and musical, and thoir Bmile—be they pretty or not—5s always sweet. The only trouble that the sunny tempered girl has is the outcome of her popularity.

Everybody wants to talk to her nnd bo in her company. Young mon are attracted to her without effort on her Rprt, for her character shows itself so plainly in her actions that young men are delighted at' tho chcerlnessand sympathy of her nuturo and are drawn to her at onco. For every reason, then, the girl with the sunny'disposition, who smiles away the troubles of life, is a favorite, and, what is more, old people aro just as charmed by her as young.—Exchange.

"Lady," said Scotch maid to her mistress, according to The Arognaut, "I maun tell ye I am to leave your service and be marrltt" "Is not this very sudden, Mary?" inquired the lady. "Who is the person you expect tb marry?''

Jt Is John Scott, mistress." "But you havo known him for ft short time. How can you trust a stranger?" persisted tho woman, reluctant to part with a good maid. "Yes, 'tis true, but he's ken himsel mony years, and he says he's all right, and I believe ho is, for I askod him, 'Did he ken tho Ten Commandments?' and he gave them Ivery oQe. I asked him did he my tho Shorter Catechism, and he had it ivery word then 1 told him to grip his bands quick and bard, and then, lady, I paw he was a strong man, and I'm goin to gio hi in my hand."

AN EFFORT IN THE CAUSE OF SUFFERING HUMANITY.

The Succissful Method of Mayor Weltner in Accomplishing a Praist-

worthy Undertaking—Many People will be Benefited.

The Hon. C. H. Weltner, mayor of Wellsville, Mo., has lately accomplished something of which he might justly be proud. It is an. effort in the cause of suffering humamty and one which, for nearly ten years, he has been quietly trying to carry out.

When I had taken half a box of them I bejian to feel that they were bringing me the relief for which 1 had been seeking.

It has been al»out two years since I commenced taking them. I have used eight boxes and am so much benefited that I can cheerfully recommend these pills as a wonderful medicine.

I would earnestly insist that all who are similarly afflicted ghe these pills a trial, fully believing that they will obtain results such as can he obtained from no other source. Iuri(g the eight years I was troubled with the disease prior to taking Dr. Williams' Piuk Pills for Pale People, I spent three hundred dollars lor medical aid which was the bame as thrown away, as no benefit was derived. "Now, the secret of these pills is that they purify the Mood, ai:d, of course, that will help in any disease. They are the best blood purifier I ever used."

The best authorities state that catarrh is a blood disease acting upon the mucous surfaces of the syj-tem. It ?oes not always commence iii the none, but frequently starts in the stomach or bowels with symptoms like dyspepsia, which many mistake for that disease This is because the blood is in sueh a condition as to irritate the stomach. It is a wasle of time and numey besides harmful to use "snuffs." Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Palo People are composed of vegetable ingredients, forming an internal remedy which acts directly on the blood and mucous surfaces of the system, cleansing it from impurities and causing the diseased matter to pass through, the proper channels. The medical profession recommends these prlls aud every druggist sells them.

Tlic Earth's Rotation.

Owing to the rotation of tho earth, rivers flowing in a northerly and southerly direction manifest a tendency to cr«wd td tho right, with tho offect that tho right bank of such a river Is apt to wear away slightly faster than the left, whilo tho chonnols also are apt to be deeper toward that side. A locomotive moving north and south would experience tho same tendency, and the amount of excess pressure on the right rail has been computed by a German scientist.

With a locomotive weighing 88,000 pounds, and running ot a speed of 45 miles per hour, it was found that there was an excessive sido pressure to the right of 150 pounds. This, however, is balunoed by the friction of the engine on tho rails, as there is there a resistance of 18,000 pounds to any side movement. Praotlcal railway meh, however, do not find nny groater difference in the wear of one rail over the other from this cause, whilo on a singlo track road, the traffic being in both direotions, it could not be detected in any ease. —Now York Post.

A Large Family.

A singlo young man heard the banns called in church one day. Perhaps ho had not always boon very attentive to tho service or perhaps mnrrlages were moro frequent thun usual that season, for the or dinary announcement seemed to rpake an impression on him. At dinner that day he observed thoughtfully us if coinmjunlng with himself:

They must bo a Inrgo family I' Who?" asked tho company, for the speakor was a silent man and one whose remarks were few and far between. "Why, those Spinsters," he answered gravely. "There was another of them called In church today."

Ho thought it was a proper name. But ho was right. Tho spinsters aro a large family.—Pearson's Weekly
