A Strange Story.

The New York Herald of recent date
publishes communication recounting
a landing effected ON Wrangell Land
by Capt. Dallman, a German nayi-
gator, in 1866, and never before made
made public. twill be read with sur.
prise. By this narrative it appears
that the captain of schooner trading
with the natives of the Siberian and
Alaska shores: having made his way
into the Arctic Seas in a year when
they were unusually free from ice,
and pushed his advance far westward
along the Siberian coasts, then turned
to make his way to the American
Continent without following the coast
fine as he advanced, and in conse-
quence found himself sailing in
August within ten nautical miles Of a
region which, from the account of his
latitude and longitude, must have
been Wrangen Land. He went ashore,
found part of the country free from
snow, supplied amply with Arctic
vegetation, saw Polar bears and the
trace of many other animals, includ-
ing the musk OK. Altogether this is a
remarkable story to be now for the
first time made public, ands the
authorities for it are all given in the

dissatisfied.

the oficious proprietor, "and can GER

"Wa'al' said the man, "I'm a look

I don't strike jest what I want"
"But if you will give me an idea Of

A. Persian Legend.

It is related of Persian mother, on
giving her son forty pieces of silver as
bis portion, that she made him swear
never to tell o lie, and. said, go Go, my
son I consign thee to God, and we
shall not meet again till the day Of judg-
ment."
The youth went away, and the party
he travelled with were assaulted by rob
bers. One fellow asked the boy what
he had, and he answered, with candor
that surprised his questioner:
''Forty dinars are sewed up in my
garments.
The robber laughed, thinking the boy
tested. Another asked him the same
question, and received the same an
swer. AZ last the chief called him, and
asked what he had. The boy replied:
ct have told two Of your people al
ready that I have 40 dinars sewed up in
my clothes" 49s.
The chief ordered his clothes to be
ripped open, and the money was found.
"And how came you to tell this?" q
Because" replied the boy, IT would
not be false to my mother, whom I SOL
emily promised never to tell lie.
"Child," said the chief, cart thou so
mindful Of thy duty to thy mother,
while I am insensible, at my age, of the
duty I owe to God? Give me thy hand,
that I may swear repentance on it." He
did so, and his followers we're struck
With the scene.
"You have been our leader in guilt, :"
they said to the chief, "be the same in
the paths of virtue" o
And, taking the boys hand, they took
the oath of repentance on 1.-THE little
Gem and Kindergarten.

Vaccine Marks.

An Eastern paper says that no person
protected by good vaccine mark, even
If it be twenty years old, need have
fears of small-pox.-SSoMc city Jour-
nal.
It was the Chicago Inter Ocean that
said that and it was very unwise and
indiscreet remark to make. It will lull
many persons into false sense of secu-
rity. There is difference of opinion
among physicians, upon this as upon
every other question involved in their
various schools, but the great prepon-
derance of opinion is that vaccination,
as rule, is not perfect protection
unless renewed at least every seven
years.
The conditions vary in different indi-
viduals. With some, the system once
charged with the vaccine virus forever
loses it's susceptibility to ssmal- pox,
while in others, and the great majority
of cases, it loses its power in few years
the exact limit of which also greatly
varies. The safest course, and the one
now generally recommended by leading
physicians, is to re-vaccinate at fire.
uuent periods. fit takes, /" the neces-

it fails to reproduce a vaccine sore the
system is supposed to be properly
charged with the vaccine previously adj
ministered and the person is liable to no
greater danger from exposure to small
pox than an attack of varioloid. But a
vaccine "mark" is no guarantee of i'm

comparatively fresh one. The press

Fancy Soaps.

Fancy soaps, which are made in great
variety for the toilet, are usually scented
with some aromatic oil. For this branch
Of the trade the ordinary commercial
soaps are used, after undergoing pro-
cess of refinement, or soap is specially
made for the purpose from almond oil.
or the like. Much taste is shown by the
best makers in the selection and combi-
nation of the perfumes, which, along
with the coloring matters, such as YER
million, yellow ochre, aniline, etc., are
usually boiled up with the soap. To IA
cilitate this operation, as a well-dried
soap does not readily melt, it is usually
cut up in fine shaviHgs, and after boil
ing is we'll worked under rollers until it
presents uniform appearance. If the
soap is intended to be highly scented, or
very expensive perfumes are to be en-
ployed, the cold process is adopted, as
much of the strength of the scent is lost
by boiling. In this case the soap is
shredded as before, and the perfume
and coloring matter well amalgamated
with it by being worked in mortar with
a pestle. It is then divided into humps,
and roughly nodded with the hand into
something near to the shape it is finally
to assume. After being left on the rack
to dry for about week it is pressed into
a mold, which imparts to the cake the
form and device which may be required,
and when taken out the edges are
trimmed, and the surface polished with
the hand. Transparent soaps are pre-
pared by taking an ordinary hard soap
and dissolving it in hot alcohol, after
having stored it for the purpose Of driv-
ing off all thewater. Soap being COM
pletely soluble in this medium, any ex-
traneous matters which it may contain
can be readily separated by filtration,
care being taken to keep the solution
hot during the process. The alcohol is
then evaporated out Of the filtrate, and
on cooling it hardens into transparent
soap. These soaps are colored, accord
ing to fancy, with vegetable colors dis
solved in alcohol.

evitable tracing schooner which is
in all years is often the great pioneer
Of discovery, and it is consequently
not atall unlikely that all this hap
pened precisely as reported by Capt.
Dallmann. His narrative affords
reason to believe that, if the Jennette
reached Wrangell Land, her company
has been in reasonably good coun-
try.

Discipline in the French Army.


1T would be interesting to get exact
statistics as to the number of men shot
on the French side during the war,
together with details of their offenses.
Unfortunately, the War Office cannot,
or will not, give any information on this
head. Possibly no record has been kept
OF these executions, but this much is
| certain that every officer who served
through the war is ready with stories of
how summarily certain Generals went to
work to establish order among their
troops. Gen. Olinchant, the present
Military Governor of Paris, was terribly
strict, but popular all the same for he
was known to be just, and kind, too,
when he could afford to be so. Having
the command of raw levies, inclined to
be insubordinate, he resolved to show
them promptly that he was their master.
Once he issued q stringent order against
robbing fruit and vegetables from the
fields and gardens of the peasants in the
Loire valley. A few days afterward q
couple of zouayes stole out of camp by
night and gathered basketful Of pota-
toes. These two soldiers happened to
be veterans who had served in the italian
war, and they were brave fellows, much
liked by their Colonel but this only
made the offense worse in the Generals
eyes; "for," said he, if old soldiers
set the example Of disobedience, how
can we expect the young ones to obey? ?"
SO the two zouaves were shot.
On another occasion three young Sol
diers took it into their heads to 60 out
OF camp without leave on q Sunday, in
order to dine with some friends who
lived in the neighborhood. They re-
turned in time for tattoo, thinking,
probably, they had committed venal
offerse. They were shot the next morn
ing.
One more example will show what
stern justice has to be melted out where
fiogging is not available. Gen. Clinchant
had issued orders that on the march no
soldier was to climb into the ambulance
vans or store-wagons unless certified
lame or i'll by the army surgeons. The
reason OF this order was that a number
Of lazy soldiers used always to swarm on
to the wagons in order to get lift In
stead OF marching. One day youngster
who, was in perfect health clambered in
side van, and was discovered there by
a sergeant, who ordered him to get out.
The soldier alighted, but, determined to
have his drive, he slit open his boot and
inflicted slight cut on his foot to make
believe that he had gone lame. A cor
poral saw him, and by and by the lad
was reported for the double offense of
disobedience and malingering. When
he had been court-martialed, the Cen
eral gave him chance for his life by
calling upon him to confess that the in
jury to his foot was self-inficted but
the foolish fellow, thinking to save HIM
self by lie, maintained that he had
gone lame by stepping On a flint. He
was accordingly handed over to the Pro
vost Marshal and shot. -St. James Ga

THE CALFIE,s MISTAKE.

Heard . crow call "caw, cav, cawl"
THAT sounds worse" said little Caltie,
"Than when cry for my NAL"
Next day Calfie IN the orchard
. Heard . red BIRDS sweet trim ring.
Gracious me-" cried little Calfie,
"How that crow has learned to sing n
"If the birds can learn 90 quickly /.
To sing sweetly, can, too"
So that funny little Gallo
Loud began to call "mooi moo!"
Fast then mother COW came running,
All the sheep ran from their pens,
Farmer, wife and sons and daughters,
Our old rooster and his hens.
And they cried, "Oh, what's the matter,
Calie, that you call 80 loud9n
Calfle trotted of quite gayly,
~ won't sing for such crowd"
"Oh, you funny little Cafie,n
Cried they. s'silly little thing!
And we'll laugh and keep on laughing
When we think how queer you sing"
