Commissioners of the city of New York, are
directly responsible for the presence of
burglars, robbers and rufians on the force,

north of it the problems are not greatly
changed that we based upon the assumption
that it is the extremity Of continent In
that case a ship may move up the further
side of it, come around above and still
pursue the endeavor to trace a way between
the northern limits of our continent and
any Polar land. But if it Is not an
island and navigator sails beyond
it, he can in time certainly come
out and doubtless in the North Sea, some
where in the direction of Franz Josef Land.
In that case. instead OF defining one of the
lateral boundaries of an Arctic continent,
he will be the first to make the world ac-
quainted with the line of its upper limit.
He would then pursue inversely the voy-
age OF Nordenskjold but his discovery
would be of greater interest, because he
would show the further shore of an utterly
unknown sea. He would be the Columbus
OF that ocean with whose anciently known
shores Nordenskj0ld has made US more
familiar.
How much will be accomplished or what
Arctic problems will be solved by the
American expedition that has just sailed
from San Francisco only the future can
tell !; but we believe the gallant little
argosy that has sailed with SO many good
wishes is we'll equipped in all the mere
material needs of such an expedition, and
well equipped also with that thoroughly
essential furniture, steady hearts and clear
heads. and we are sure that she will not
make any merely fruitless voyage.

TAKING TOLL.
n the door of the mill stood Richard Lee;
Mite as an INN ore of snou WINS he

In the door of the mill stood Richard Lee;
White as an image of snow was he,
From his heavy boots to his bearded lips,
From the crown of his hat to his finger tips.
Now, slowly jogging along the street,
Drove Farmer Brown with his grist of wheat,
AND with him Bessie as fresh as the spring,
And ripe as the fruits the fall months bring.
While the farmer drove about the town,
Young Lee ground the wheat and bolted it
down,
With many glance at the maiden fair,
Who sat by the door in the oaken chair.
At last he called her in shouting tones,
And she stood by the whirling, rumbling
stones,
And watched the grain as it ebbed so still,
ILL the farmer came, but the noise of the mill
Drowned the sound of his feet, and over the
hopper,
good deal closer than he thought was
proper,
Two heads were bent; and then Richard Lee
Saw him standing there, he stammered: 81
That-is" (then he paused and shufled his
| feet)
II think there are weevils in your wheatp'
But the farmer smiled and said; swell, Bess,
VI two evils always choose the less"
And the maiden looked down confused and
meek;
With patch of flour on one cheek!
Still the old man didn't take it ill,
For he knew yonng Richard owned the mill
But he unused as they slowly rode away:
well! I've been to mill now many day
Say forty odd years but, bless my soul!
That chap beats all of them taking toll"

THE OLD CARTON,

In an ancient church in the city of Rome,
Far up in the grand and lofty dome,
The master hand of artist had traced
A cartoon, which should never have been de-
faced.
The sun that stole through the turrent blinds
Had faded the cOlOrs and marred the lines;
And dust like a vail, gathered thick and fast,
And hid from the present the work fthe past.
And the thronging people who worship below,
And the priests who are wont to come and 60,
Meier dream, as they gaze on the wall so high,
OF the rare beauties that hidden lie.
But painter, one day, enwragped in thought,
On the dingy walls an outline caught,
And guessed that under the dust and mold,
Lay the work of some of the artists old.
And when life had swept the dust away,
And freely let in the light of day,
The magic brush in his skillful hand
Retouched with life the pictures grand,
And they flooded the chapel with radiance
Till it seemed almost like holy light;
And the people delighted, laughed and wept
10 think that the walls such prize had kept
So all around in this world of ours
Are beautiful characters fairer than flowers
By evil influences marred and specked,
Or hidden away under cold neglect,
That need but the touch Of helping hand,
And plying love that will understand,
TO clear the rubbish and wrong away,
And raise to the life of endless day.

How to Treat Nervousness /.

First, remove the cause; restore the
tone of heart, improve the blood. All in
furious habits must be given up; late
hours and intemperance in eating aban-
doned; smoking, if practiced, stopped.
This done, the patient is on the road to a
cure; for nature is very kind when she
has chance, though she is d1eadfully
cruel when abused.
The food is most important. It must
be abundant and wholesome too
much or too little. It should not be
sloppy, and soups had better be avoided
so long as solid food can be taken. Rise
from the table feeling you had enough,
but not oppressed with what you have
eaten. Many man has lived to old age
by following this rule. The bread should
be stale, and no very heating food taken.
Eight hours sleep should be taken
every night if possible. This alone will
nearly cure. ''Early to bed and early 10
rise" should be the motto. Sleep is the
salvation of the nervous system. When
there is strength, cool bath short and
quickly over, with much friction under q
sheet, should be taken every morning,
and reaction secured. Without re-
action much harm results.
The exercise should be moderate and
pleasant. Riding, driving, rowing, light
physical labor, are all good. Those who
live in cities and cannot enjoy out-of-
door labor or riding, should adopt sys.
tematic habits of exercise. Some form OF
gymnastics will be very serviceable. The
lifting cure, if rightly used, has great
value in the cure of nervousness. II
seems to be able to restore the lost equi-
librium of the system, and bring the weak
parts of the body up in strength to pa,
with the strong parts. The passive ex
ercises of the movement cure are also ex-
cellent, and any one may learn from
books how to apply it to himself, if he
will. Breakfast early; dine at one OF
two, and sup two hours before going te
bed; drink no tea Take no narcotics tt
make you sleep. A few raw oysters be
fore bedtime are worth all the narcotics
in the world, are easily digested, an6
furnish material for restoring nervou.
tissue and blood. Ifyou wake up III the
middle of the night and cannot go t.
sleep, eat slowly crust Of bread; thi
often helps a nervous person to go t.
sleep again. Avoid physic-it exhaust
the tone of the system, which you ough
to restore. Above all keep up goo:

What Those Long Nights Mean.

All, yes. fond youth! It may be very
nice to court girl in the far northern
countries where the nights are six months
long; but think of the vast amount Of
peanuts and gumdrops the young man,
when going to see his girl, must lug
along with him in order to kill time and
induce her to believe that his affection
for her is as warm as ever. And then
the sad leavetaking few weeks before
sunrise! He whispers, Goodnight, love-"
and she softly murmurs, "Good-night,
dear. When shall ] see you again?"
'To-morrow nj ght," he replies, as he kiss
es her upturned face. "To-morrow
night she replies, with a voice full Of
emotion. ''Six long weary months!
Can't you call around few days before
breakfast, CharIes?" Finally Charles
tears himself away, with promise to
write her one hundred and sixty letters
before the next day draws to close
