People Who Live Near the Pole.

The Roman correspondent OF the Phil
adelphia Bulletin, speaking of the Gin
kici, a remarkable people discovered
by the Swedish explorers of the north
pole region, says The people found
there were not precisely savages-they
were clothed (roughly, perhaps)-but
they were clothed in skins of rein
deer or seal. Their costume might not
perhaps suit Partisan taste, but it was
adaptable to their cline. 1t is COM
posed of reindeer skin stocking lined
with eiderdown, reindeer or sealskin
boots reaching to the knees, and u der
these, again, reindeer or sealskin trous
ers, over which are worn in extra cold
weather other trousers lined with fur.
And then tunic, coat, or blouse OF the
same materials reaches to the knees,
and, according to the weather, several OF
these are worn one over the other. For
the head they wear a cap to match the
rest of this charming costume, and this
cap is tied under the chin like baby's
cap. Finally they wear over their
chests kind of bib OF sealskins, which
bib they draw over their faces, when
the air threatens to bite the noses.
The very fashionable people of the
country fasten tails of animals to the
edges of their coats. This is to show
you that they are rich, as their riches
consist in reindeer, some families pos
sessing as mary as 100, 900 of these ami
mails. The ladies wear the same cos.
tune as the gentlemen, which gives
them strange awkward walk. How
ever, as a little distinction, they wear
their hair in two long plaits at the
side OF each chez and their neck and
back are bare. 1t seems that the cold
| has less effect on them than on their
lords. 1t is true that when they have
young children they carry them on their
| backs, and that shelters them. Both
men and women are short of statute, but
stout and wonderfully strong. and they
can walk for miles with burdens on
their backs which we Europeans could
not even lift. Their faces are large and
broad and they have no foreheads. In
this the women would be quite the
fashion in Europe, where the ladies dc
all they can to conceal their forehea S.

A Brave Baby.

A woman who lives in Ashville, Ala.
writes to the Egis of that place of the
rescue of her little three
year-old boy from drowning. The child
fell down well, the depth of which was
thirty feet. The mother saw him go
down. She says:
On reaching the we'll I was just in
time to see him rise to the top of the
water. / was alone, save three other
little children whom | sent for help. l
had, amid all the anguish of my soul,
presence of mind enough to let the
bucket down and tell him to take hold
of it, which he did. After some min
utes he let loose from weakne IS, sank
again, except his little head. lowered
the bucket lower, telling him to take
hold of the rope. He ran his hand
through ring tied on for the purpose
of sinking the bucket, and caught the
pail, and there he held on for one and a
half hours, begging me all the time in
his baby talk to come down and help
him out. l would say: "Hold on,
Bobbie." 81 will" he would reply.
At length lady came to my assistance,
and we took rope and made moose on
the end of it, and, letting it down, told
him what to do He put his foot
through the moose and drew it up
around his knee. l asked him il he
could hold on. He said he could hold
on to the bucket: "Daw me out" HI
holding the bucket, the rope around hii
leg, telling him not to let go, we drew
him up until / could reach his littl
shivering hands. Thus l saved m
little baby from drowning. Safe {
my breast l clasped his little shiyerin
body, and praised God for His mercies.

Life and Death in Switzerland.

Vital and social statistics are always
interesting, but the recent report OF the
Swiss bureau of federal statistics for
1878 is worked up with exceptional thor
oughness and suggestiveness. 1t will
very much help the general reader to an
appreciation of the figures to bear in
mind that the population of Switzer-
land in 1S70-2, $50, ,247-was about l0O,-
600 more than that of Illinois, and that
its area is between one-third and one
fourth that of Illinois, or about equal
to that of Maryland and Connecticut:
The number of marriages Is given at
90 500. These figures mark the contin-
uance of decline which began in 1875,
and is now traced to the facts that men,
on the average marry at twenty-nine,
and that the birth-rate OF the years
1865 was below the average. The
divorces were l,036. and Switzerland is
said to have more divorces in proportion
to marriages than any other European
country. A very commonplace reason
| is given for the strange fact that widows
and divorced women are more likely to
get husbands than maidens-the thrifty
Swiss, it seems, prefer women of ex-
perience, with the houses and furniture
which they usually have, to sweet SIM
plicity without shelter. The births
were 81 ,426, of which 46, $50 were boys
and "A, 4,476 girls. The favorable death
rate-23.4 per 600 attributed to the
characteristics of the weather of the
year, which was not suddenly variable,
and was neither very hot nor very cold.
The ratio of deaths among the mar
ried is much less than among the cell
bate, from which it is a fair inference
that marriage promotes longevity. The
excess of births over deaths was 8. / per
1000, and the death-rate among chill
dren less than one year old was Ill.
The number of murders was ia, of
which thirty were cases of infanticide.
rhe number of accidental deaths was
1850. Suicides continue to increase.
In 1875 there were $40; in 1877, 600; {;
in 1878, 642. Suicides were less frequent
among women than among men among
the young than among the adults and
aged; among the married, widowed
and divorced than among the celibates
among agriculturists and artisans than
among domestic servants, day -laborers,
traders, manufacturers, artists and
members of the liberal professions.

time to commit suicide, as the mum ber
Uses very much in proportion to the

Switzerland lost 5,206 men, women and

A Treasury Clerks Long Service,

John Laub, the Oldest clerk in the
United States treasury, died recently in
Washington after faithful service of
more than forty-three years. He was
absent but five days from his desk dur
ing the entire forty-three years of his
service, although he was entitled to a
vacation of thirty days each year. No
other man in all that time ever did any
part of the work that it was his duty to
perform. In room which he occupied
is a set of books covering the entire
history OF the First Comptroller's Office
-eighty-six years-and in those books
appear but two styles of penmanship-
those of John Laub and his father. Mr..
Lauo never allowed any person, not
even the secretary himself, to examine
his books; but il there was ever an in
quiry he wo uld examine them himself,
and read their contents to the inquirer
He was neatness itself, and wrote a
plain round hand. He loved his books
as if they were human. and kept them
wrapped carefully in oil-cloth, when not
in use, but when compelled to take them
from their case, he would handle them
as if they were made of glass. He became
a machine, and had he been transferred
to any other duty would have been ut
terly useless. He ppeared at his desk
at the same hour every morning. and
went through the same routine every
day. He walked to the department
from his house and returned always by
the same route, and his appearance at
the same locality at the same moment
each day was as regular as time itself.
During his last illness he suffered much
pain and anxiety because his work was
neglected, and for fear some other per-
son would touch his books, and relief
was given him only by an order from
the First Comptroller that they should
not be disturbed.

The Northeast Passage,

A very interesting account of the
Northeast passage by the steamer Vega,
which has brought su h renown to Pro-
fessor Nordenskjold. is given in recent
number of Black,oood's Magazine by
Lieutenant Palander, who commanded
the Vega. There is no doubt the Vega
would have made her entrance into
Behring strait the same season in which
she started on her voyage, but for the
exceptionally unfavorable condition of
the ice. She had passed the real points
of difficulty and danger, and was within
100 miles of Behring strait on the
twenty eight of September, 1878, when
the ice closed in upon her, and she was
unable to move until the eighteenth of
the following July. The region in
which she passed the winter is we'll
known to explorers and whalers, many
of whom have passed through the same
waters, encountering no ice, even as late
as the first of November.
Now that the passage has been shown
to exist, the question whether it can be
made commercially useful is the next in
interest. If vessels can get through in
two months, as Lieutenant Palander
says they may, if no unanticipated OBJ.
structiors intervene, considerable com.
mercial use may he made of the passage
in trading with the natives along near y
1000 miles of habitable coast. But this
question of an open passage is one that
Lieutenant Palander is not prepared to
answer. That open water near the
coast does exist during the summer and
autumn months admits of no doubt in
his mind. The difficulties to be met
With at and around the northermost
cape of the Siberian coast-Cape Tchel-
n11skin-and Taimvi Island are sIlcb as
| to make it doubtful whether ships can
get through without wintering over.
! That passage is to be found there once
or twice Lieutenant Palander does not
doubt. but it may occur SO late that
winter will set in before Behring strait
is reached. In summing up Lieutenant
| Palander says:
"The Northeast Passage can not,
therefore, in its entirety be made available
| for the purpose of commerce but still an
annual traffic might easily be carried
on from the westward to the Obi and
Yenisei. and from the eastward to the
Lena. Unquestionably the way now
lies open to Siberia's three greatest
rivers; and that land, so rich in min
erals, timber and grain, whose export
and import trade has hitherto been con-
Quoted by means of caravans, ought
now to obtain practical route as a con-
Meeting link between the old and new
world"
| Vessels designed for this hazardous
traffic will have to be specially con-
structed to push their way through
fields of drifting and newly-formed ice
and coaled and provisioned for an ice
blockade lasting from eight to nine
months.

A Historical Relic.

A recent letter from Washington to
the Boston advertiser says: The Hon
orable Robert c. Winthrop in the
course of the centennial oration de-
livered by him on the fourth of July,
1876, in Music hall, Boston, exhibited
to the audience there gathered the writ
ing desk upon which the declaration OF
independence was written. and the
thoughts suggested by this interesting
historical relic formed one of the most
eloquent passages of his oratlon. de
concluded his allusion 10 this desk with
these words;
"Long may it find its appropriate and
appreciating ownership in the success
sive generations of a family OF whom
the blood of Virginia and Massachusetts
is so auspiciously commingled. Should
it, in the lapse of years, ever pass from
the hands of those to whom it will be
so precious an heirloom, it could only
have 8 fit and final place among the
choicest and most cherished treasures
of the nation, with the above title deeds
of independence it so proudly asserted"
This evening the Honorable Robert
@. Winthrop, who is now in Washing
ton, took the occasion of call at the
executive mansion to deliver personally
| to the President, as gift to the United
|
which Mr.. Jefferson wrote the declara-
tion of independence. 1t was presented
| in the name of the children of the late
Joseph Coolidge, of Boston, to whom
it was given by Jefferson himself in
1925, whose granddaughter MIR. Cool
idge had married, and it was al auto
q aph inscription as follows: Thomas
Jefferson gives this writing desk to
Joseph Coolidge, Jr.. as memorial OF
his affection. 1t was made from q
drawing of his own, by Ben. Randall,
cabinet-maker, of Philadelphia. with
whom he first lodged on his arrival in
that city in May, l776. and the identi-
cal one on which he wrote the declare,
ton of independence. Politics as well
as religion has its superstitions; these
gaining strength with time, may one
day give imaginary value to this relic
, for its association with the birth OF the
great charter OF our independence" II
Is probable that this desk. will be de
posted in the freproof library OF tns
State department, where is kept tn
original draft of the declaration, writer
on this desk.
