The Greatest Mistake.

Everybody is making mistakes.
Everybody is finding out afterward
that he has made a mistake. But
there can be no greater mistake than
the stopping to worry over a mis-
take already made. The temptation
is irresistible when one has slipped
on an orange peel, or & banana skin,
to turn back and see just where and
how he slipped. But if a man is in
a hurry to the depot, along the av-
erage city sidewalk, he would do
better to look out for the next slip.
ping place, and guard against it,
than to turn around and walk back
ward, with his eyes on the place
where he slipped last, and his mind
full of worry because he did slip
there. And man would stand a
better chance of entering his train
by letting those slipping places
alone. Forgetting those things
which are behind, includes the for
getting to worry over the irredeema-
bic past" Reaching forth unto
those things which are be-
FORE" is the zone thing" for every
child Of God to do in spite Of many
mistakes which at the best he has
certainly made.-.S. s. Times.

The North Pole.

Another expedition is getting
ready to start from San Francisco.
This one has adopted a novel plan.
The party consists of eight scientific
men under command of Lieutenant
Ray of the eighth infantry. The
plan to be adopted as explained by
Mr.. Ray is to charter the vessel, af.
ter loaded with two years stores
of fuel and provisions, and proceed
directly to Point Barrow, northwest
point of Alaska coast. They hope
to be enabled to make there this sea-
son, and the vessel, after leaving the
party will return to San Francisco.
They will carry with them building
material to obstruct a substantial
house and observatory, and will have
the necessary buildings, established a
permanent signal station. The step
is part of the extended expedition
undertaken by Gen. Hazen, and the
operation will embrace regular me-
teorelogical, tidal, magnetic, astrono-
mical and auroral observations, ard
all those correlative observations
usual in United States scientific ex-
peditions. 1t is understood that the
United States coast and goetic sur
vey will send representative with
the expedition for the purpose of
making pendulum experiments at
this high altitude. Point Barrow is
inhabited only bya small colony of
native Esquimaux, but the country
adjacent offers a large supply of
game and fish. Lieut.. Ray, in spek-
ing of the expedition, says the main
object during the first season will be
to harden the men and accustom
them to the climate. Point Barrow
will be the base of operations and
explorations will be carried on by
sea and land to discover the North
Pole. He wishes to demonstrate
that the only feasible way to reach
the Pole is by a plan of gradual APP
proach rnd permanent stations.
Members of the party win each keep
in addition to the regular official
record, a diary ofhis private expe-
rience, and their diaries will be at
the service of the government upon
their return. They win carefully

scum. Photograph or sketches viii
be made of unusual scenes and

year, and those of the party who are
desirous of returning will probably

to be filed by others.

iately in front OF the soGth porch OF
the Executive Mansion, whica posi-
ton placed Us At about equal distan-
ices from ths Treasury and State and
( War aud Navy Department just
to the east OF the quarters was our
guard tent. where a portion of the
body guard remained when on duty.
The War and Navy Departments are
situated at the west end ofthe White
House Park, and TO these buildings
Lincoln was called oftener than any
other place in the capital. A gray
el walk led from the west end of the
mansion through the park, which
was filled with trees and shrubbery,
to the War Department, and over
this the President walked several
times day, often unaccompanied.
For reasons, at the time unknown
to us, we were ordered to move our
guard tent and place it at the end
of the gravel walk, directly in the
rear of the War Department. While
we stayed there nothing occurred to
arouse suspicion. Shortly afterward
we learned, however, that on the
very night after we moved the tent
the rebels had plan laid to capture
the President. The conspirators were
to hide in the shrubbery. and when
the President came along over the
walk they were TO seize, gag, ind car
ry him to the house of one Green
a rank rebel, on the bank of the Po-
tomac, back of the White House
grounds, where he was to be secret
ed for time, and then spirited
across theriver into Virginia. Thence
he was to be taken to Richmond.
or some other confederate strong
hold, where he was to be held as
hostage. The members of the guard
always supposed that the conspira-
tors were frightened away when
they saw our guard tent, and aban-
doned the kidnapping.
Not long after the attempted kid
mapping another episode occurred,
which was thought to have been
planned by Dand of assassins who
made their headquarters in the city.
Bourke, the veteran coachman, who
had served at the White House
through Pierce and Buchanan,s adj
ministrations, and thus far through
Lincoln's, was taken sick and COM
PEELED to be off duty. Immediate-
ly stranger applied at the White
House for Bourke's place. He plead
ed his own cause, and the result was
that he was employed as Presiden-
tial coachman. From the first he
was domineering, and after a few
weeks became so important that he
was discharged and 30 Ike reinstat-
ed. He made threats, and was so
ugly that he was driven away. One
night shortly after the disc .arged
coachman was seen snca ing round
the stables. Presently {. whole in
terror of the stable was found to be
on fire. The whole guard was called
out, and by dint of great exertion we
saved the President coach and team,
but Tad Lincoln's ponies and Colo
mel Hays carriage team perished.
The plan was to have this man fire
the stables, and thus throw us off our
guard, and during the excitement
some of the conspirators were torush
into the White House and murder
the President. But instead of re-
naming in the house, Mr.. Lincoln
ran out among us, and thus, in all
probability frustrated another at

Treading Water.

Mr.. Henry MacCormac, who re-
Gently urged in Nature, ''treading

mend teaching swimming in prefer

swimming, and | wish sincerely
that everybody could swim. Tread

easy, if we only knew it, to tread
water as to tread the earth, and
proximately Just as safe. Men and
women might walk into the deep
sea and out again when they pleas

with us as some people imagine.
Why are not we as safe in water as

nearly so; in swimming we sprawl.
and are comparatively helpless.
The admirals, both of them, have
given valuable testimony rs regards
the efficacy of treading water. Be
fore the present pier at the Cape
was built, vessels in bad weather
could not communicate with the
shore, even by boats. Men, then,
treading water amid the mountain
seas, carried communication to and
fro in oilskin caps. | have heard it
was the same at Madras. Young
Gordon. apprentice to the sea, fell
into mid ocean while fixing sail.
The poor fellows heart sank when
he saw the ship sailing away. But,
as he afterward told me, he trod
water, and kept up until the boat
reached him.

Anyone might do the same. Not
one woman in ten thousand, not
one man in thousand, | suppose,
can swim. They do not know they
can tread water when they fall in,
and Of course drown. But igno-
rance and prejudice cannot always
rule, and the day will surely come,
when human beings, better instruct
ed, shall enjoy the same. immunity

The Proper Feed for WOrk.HOrse.

An item is going the rounds of the
press recommending, as an economical
feed for working horses, three quarts of
oats in the morning, the same at noon,
and two quarts of corn-meal at night,
with hay.
Economy in feeding is not limited to
the first cost of the feed necessary to
keep horse alive. If it were, the feed
named might possibly be rated as ''eco-
nomical.'' But economy demands that
horse shall be so fed as to enable him
to do full days work every working
day without impairing his health, con-
stitution or general efficiency. Of course
it makes very great difference what a
horse is, and what he is expected to do,
in settling the amount and quality of the
feed necessary to his healthful and eco
nomical support. But it may be set
down as rule that no average work
horse can habitually do an average days
work and maintain a healthy working
condition upon the feed named. In the
first place, it is insufficient in quantity;
but its quality, as administered, is even
more unsatisfactory.
Ihave no intention of ssgoing back"
on oats as horse-feed. They are admit
ted on all hands to be the feed par e.
cellence for young colts, idle horses and
for light work. But corn-mea1. as a
