LANDAT THE POLE.

About four years ago farmer OF
Surprise Valley found in the crop of a
wild goose 4 small quantity Of grain
the like of which he had never before
seen. He sowed the grain and II grew
and iourished, producing more than a
hundred fold. The straw and beardless
head are said to resemble wheat, while
the grain looks like rye, but is twice as
large. The farmer has now many BUSH
els of this cereal, and has sent samples
of it to be planted in various places in
California, when food for cattle is mol
easily obtained at some seasons, as the
stalk of the new grain, when cut before
1t is thoroughly ripe, makes excellent
hay.
An old sailor, after reading an item
which has been goin g the rounds of
the papers in regard to the new cereal,
the substance of which item is given
above, finds his memory refreshed. 1t
brings to his recollection circumstances
he had almost forgotten, and has set him
to thinking. He has thought 1t all out
and Is now firmly of the opinion that
there is an inhabitable land at the
North Pole. The old man says he was
one of the crew Of the Investigator,
Capt. Mcclure which sailed from Eng
and in 1850, 10 company with the En-
terprise, Commander Collision, in
search Of Sir John franklin, and he
certainly has in his possession one of
the Arctic medals given by the English
admiralty to all persons engaged in
these polar expeditions from 1878 to
1855. In September of that year the
Investigator reached a land which Capt.
Mcclure named Barring's land, and
three days afterwards other land which
he named Prince Albert, where about
the last of the month they were frozen
in.
While in the last named land, the ex-
plorers observed many wild geese and
other fowl flying southwark. Some of
the geese stopped at the place where
the ship lay and several were Killed by
members Of the crew. In the crops of
some OF these geese he recolects to
have seen, and marveled at seeing. P
considerable quantity of groin such
as the new cereal Of Surprise Valley
is said to be. AS no such grain is
known in the temperate zone, and as
/ VIC nuNb lO Va q Gi0ih Va bllO
kind being found in airy known region
of the world, he is of the opinion that
the geese obtained it in a region lying
about the open polar sea. He says no
man has yet gone, so far to the north,
but he found wild geese aud other wa
ter 70 wi dying still further northward.
as the geese are undoubte1 weDding
their way to well-known stopping
place far to the north, there must be
something to feed upon at the point
where they stop. AS wild geese no
more live on fish than do tame ones,
there must be, in the country to which
they go, grass and other Vegetation
similar to that found in temperate re-
gions. The wild geese that halt on the
Pacific coast make the grain fields their
feeding place, and 1t Is not likely that
in the land about the Pole their nature
is so changed that they feed upon mas
ses of fish.

The operations of the Treasury
Department have, during the past two
years, been such as to cause the almost
entire disappearance of fractional cur
rency from circulation. SO common has
small silver coin become that it Is rare
we see any of the once abundant green
back currency which it displaced. All
has been retired that has found its way
nto the I'r easury but the nominal sum
of SIG 407, 429, outstanding, which is
carried along in the books OF the Trear
ury. OF this large sum it is, however,
safe to say perhaps less than $500, 600
will ever be presented for redemption;
it is believed that nearly the entire SIG,
100000 yet outstanding lids beeH lost,
burned or. destroyed in various ways,
leaving just that sum to the credit of
the Government. Being more frequent
ly handled than paper money of larger
denominations. and being in sums of
lesser value, its holders were never so
careful with 1t as with greenbacks. 1t
passed in such delapldated condition
that, growing worse from day to day,
the last holders cared little what be-
come of it, and not un!requently burn
eG or threw it away. The result of ii
all is that the Government has made
just this amount of money, just as it has
made many millions by the destruction
by fire and other causes Of greenback
no tes.

HIGH LAKES.

Lake Harkness, Plumus County, Cali.
fornia, has an altitude of 1880 feet. In
Clear Creek County, Colorado, are two
beautiful little lakes, each of aim ost
mile in circumference, very deepj and
the water of dark blush green, is eX.
tremely cold. There is no appatent
source of supply, as the lakes are sur
rounded by high mountain walls of
granite blocks, piled in magnificent con.
fusion and quite heavily timbered.
They are at an altitude of at least 1000
feet, and are the source of the famous
Clear Creek Canon stream.
About six miles south of these lakes,
and at an altitude of fully 10000 feet,
just above the timber line, is situated
Chicago Lake, now widely known as
the scene of Blerstadt's "Storm in the
Rocky Mountain" 1t is a most pic.
turesQue sheet of clear, limpld water;
but appears at little distance to be al
most black, owing to its great depth.
The water is intensely cold, but con-
.taihs an abundance Of trout. Thelake
is about half mile in diameter. and at
the upper and northwest side perpet-
nal bank of ice and snow creeps down
to the waters edge. On the south an
imposing wall of smooth granite towers
almost vertically to the height Of 2, 00U
feet; while on the west there are series
of majestic terraces, like huge steps, 300
10 400 feet high. The north wall slopes
away at an angle of about fOrty.five
degrees; and to the south and east there
Is an easy, gradual slope down into
Chicago Canon. The lake would APP.
pear to have been the crater of some
volcano; yet there are no traces Of any
volcanic action.
There are hundreds of lakes In the
Rocky Mountains. Prominent among
them are the Twin Lakes; altitude
$500 feet; San Cristobel and Lake
Mary, in the San Juan County (some-
what higher); and Grand Lake, in
Middle Park, There are many smaller
lakes In the region of the timber line,
varying in elevation from 10000 to
$4,000 feet. These lakes are all along
the snowy region in the National, Elk
Sagauche, San Miguel, Uncompahgre,
Sangre de Christie, and other ranges.
In the National Range, which, accord.
ing to Professor Hayden, "is by far the
largest and grandest in the United
States" there are several considerable
lakes above e,100 feet, and many
smaller ones from 10000 to more tEan
$4,000 feet above the seas level.

HISTORICAL.

THE New York Crystal Palace was
first opened to the public on July IA,
1858. 1t was destroyed by fire ON Oc.
tober 5, 1853.
THE first Protestant Bishop in the
United States was the Right Rev. DR..
Samuel Seabury, 1884. The first Cath
olic Bishop was DR.. Carroll, of Mary
land, 1889.
FAUST (pronounced Fowst) was the
name of celebrated medieval musician
and dealer in the black art; his famous
book, containing the secrets which cost
him his soul, is still preserved in one of
the German university Libraries. On
this legand is based, to some extent,
Gethe's fine play, and the opera.
ST. PETERS CHtRcH, at Rome, re.
quired for its erection l76 years, and to
complete the structure an addition of
l24 years. Its cost was $50, GOO, 900 in
gold, and 10 keep it in repair requires
an annual spenditure CT $4,000 OF
its vast dimensions perhaps the best
idea is conveyed by the statement that
1t covers eight acres of ground.
THE origon Of newspapers is a sub
ject on which there has been a large
amount of controversy. All writers
who have given attention to the matter
are agreed that Nathaniel Buffers
Weekly News, which first appeared in
1929, iulfillS all the conditions of a
newspaper, and that publication has
generally been accepted as the first
Englesh newspaper,
THE first idea of the balloon was SUP.
gested by Jesuit priest, Francis Lana,
In 1870; but the actual invention of bal
looms is of much later date, and Is due
to Stephen aud Joseph Montgolfer,
paper manufacturers, at Annonay, near
Lyons, France, The frst public expert
ment was made by them June 8, 1888.
Their balloon weighing 500 pounds,
and containing 1000 cubic feet
(FIench measure), was sent up, and ,
rising to an elevation Of nearly mile,
described horizontal line of 1900 feet
and gradually sank. The first aeron.
autical voyage was accomplished on
Nov. 2l OF the same year, when NJ.
Pilatre de ROzieT and the Marquis d Ar
landes ascended in Montgol6er balloon
from the Chateau de la Muette, near
Passy, gained an elevation OF nearly
5000 feet and after catching FIRE, which
was easily extinguished by the Intrepid
Voyagers, descended safely, after a
journey OF six miles, which was per.
formed In from twenty to twenty five
minutes.

SCRIPTURAL ANTIQUITIES

Many rude instruments have been
collected by modern travellers, and are
but little changed from their ancient
forms. The drum or timbrel is made
of thin baked clay, something in the
shape of a bottle, with parchment
stretched over the wider part. On be-
ing struck with the finger, this instru-
ment makes remarkable loud sound.
These relics are lodged in the London
Scriptural Museum, and are all ticketed
with the texts they serve to Illustrate.
This arrangement is very judicious, and
gives a great additional interest to the
sacred objects while under inspection.
The distaff was the instrument which
wrought the materials for the robes Of
the Egyptians kings, and for the "little
coat" which Hannah made for Samuel 4;
by it, too, were wrought the cloths and
other fabrics used in Solonon'S Temple.
Nothing can be more simple than this
ancient instrument, which is sort of
wooden skewer, round which the fax is
wrapped; it is then spun on the ground
in the same manner as boys top, and
the thread wrought off and wound upon
tGel' NJueTuSI UT SlOue manu- ,lnlllSI
of various sizes, have been repeatedly
found in connection with Roman, Saxon
and other ancient remains in England.
They are still to be met with in constant
use over the greater part of India, In
Africa, and also those districts of the
East which are more particularly as
sociated with Holy Writ. 1t may be
worth willie to mention that this de-
scription of mill is an Improvement up
on the method of simply crushing THE
corn laid on a fiat stone held in the
hand. The "quern" is hard stone
rounded and partly followed, into
which another stone which has han.
die, is loosely fitted. The corn requir.
ed to be ground is paced in hollow
re eptacIe, and the inner stone Il
moved rapidly round, and, in course o.
time, by immense labor, the wheat
ETC., is ground into flour. The Script
ure prophecies mention that of two wo
men grinding at tile mill, ,One shall bC
taken and the other left. The two
handed mill will explain the meaning o
| thispassage.

GREENLAND COURTSHIP.

When the Danish missionaries had
secured the confidence OF the Green.
landers, marriage was made a religious
ceremony. Formerly the man married
the woman, as the Romans did the Sa.
bine women, by force. One of the
missionaries, writing in his journal, des.
cribes the style OF present courtship as
follows:-
. The suiter, coming to the missionary,
said, II should like to have n wife"
Whom?" asks the missionary. The
man names the woman.
elias thou spoken to her?"
Sometimes the man will answer,
"Ges, she is lot unwilling, but thou
knowest womankind.'
More frequently the answer Is mo. "
"Why not9"
at is didicuit girls are prudish
Thou must speak to her."
The missionary summons the girl,
and after little conversation, says:
II think it time to have thee mar
ried."
~ won't marry"
"What a pityl l had a suitOr fol
thee"
"Whom?"
The missionary names the man who
has sought his aid.
"Ile 10 good for nothing. 1 won'I
have him"
"But," replies the missionary, che is
good provider; he throws his harpOor
with skill; and he loves thee"
Though liolening to his praise Will
evident pleasure, the girl answers, "a
won't marry. l won't have him."
"Well, | won't force thee. shall
soon find a wife for such a clever Eel
low."
The missionary remairs sileut. a:
though he understood her "no" to ha "
ended the matter.
At last, with sigh, she whispers
"Just rs thou wilt have it, missionary
No." replies the clergyman, IA
thou wilt; I'll not persuade thee"
Then, with a deep grOan comes
"yes," and the matter Is settled.

CORNERED ATLAST.

His wife had probably been arguing
and coaxing for years, for he looked
like man who's Aspirit had been worn
out before he h consented to have
his photograph taken. lie halted at
the door Of a gallery as IL trying to in
vent some excuse, but she pushed him
up stairs and he was in for it at last.
He hoped the photographer would be
crowded with work, but he wasn't. lie
hoped the camera was out of order, but
it was in prime condition.
Cant take me to-day, can you?"
he Gaerieu.
"Ohl yes-take you right away"

There was no way to get rid of it,
and with a despairing look around and
a frown at his wife the old chap drop

eyes, crossed his legs and grOaned out:

THE SILENT STRANGER.

A stranger sat in corner of the car
hence to New York, in easy attitude,
his feet upon large black trunk. The
gentlemanly Conductor, going his
rounds, at the first station politely in.
formed the stranger that the trunk
must be put in the baggage car.
To which the stranger nothing re-
piled.
At the second station the displeased
conductor, more decidedly, told the
stranger that he must put the trunk In
the baggage car.
To which the stranger nothing re-
piled.
At the third station the vexed con-
ductor more imperatvely told the
stranger that lie must put the trunk in
the baggage car, or it would be put OF
the train.
70 which the stranger nothing re-
piled.
At the fourth station the irate con-
ductor had the trunk put off and left.
To which the stranger said nothing.
At the fifth station the mollified con-
ductor, addressing the stranger, begged
him to remember that he had but done
what his duty required, and that he had
done 1t only after repeated warnings,
and that it was solely the stranger
| fault.
To which the stranger laconically re,
piled:
"Don't care; faint my trunk"
