Arctic Animals.

Among animals, the Polar bear, pure white in winter, is found on the sea coast and in slightly-wooded regions, but the variety is not abundant. The small white rabbit, same as seen in the Middle States, except in color, frequents wooded regions along river courses and is abun- dant. Reindeer were formerly abundant on the sea coast and travelled in immense herds, but since the introduction of fire arms these animals have been destroyed in some localities and driven from others, and now they are found only in restricted localities. A few years ago they existed n vast numbers on Nuneyak island, and the Indians were in the habit of slaughtering them with senseless im- providence. They were once so plenty and tame there that they could be shot n numbers from the huts of the natives. One traveller says that he saw over 1, 900 lawn skins hanging up to dry in Q single village. Poison Is sometimes used in taking game-an execrable practice In the open throughout the interior country reindeer are still found in small bands.
 Moose are still found along the rivers in tie Yukon territory and in wooded places. Their skins are used for cloth ing they are thick, stiff and heavy be- fore being tanned, but are rendered soft and pliable under the manipulation of the Indian tanners, who use the animal s brains i'll the operation.
 The Polar bear is found on the north ern coast of Alaska. This huge animal formerly ranged as far south as the mouth of the Yukon and tradition has 1t that one was once seen on St. Paul's island in latitude 57 deg. north, supposed to have been carried there on floating ice field. In the Coast mountains range cinnamon, black and grizzly bears but none of these varieties are common here.
 Back from the coast bears are more numerous, especially the black on the Upper Yukon, were many skins are annually taken. I gathered good deal of interesting gossip about the manner the red bear, and especially the grizzly, ported seeing band of fifteen black bears on Peace river, in the Hudson bay country, feeding on berries on ahillside, and six in one place on the Yukon, the present spring. The grizzly is not ire. quently found, for the sufficient reason 1 suppose, that he is rarely "lost. The barren ground bear, a smaller animal dull yellowish brown in color, inhabits a vide, treeless region extending from the western part of British America tC Alaska.-AyaSkG Cor.

The Value of Life.

One of the interesting specuIations recently started in England has for A subject the present value of life as com pared with its value when mankind did not spend half of its time in studying the problem of prolonging life. One of the leading London physicians de- clares that men were happier and bet ter, and lived nobler lives, before the pursuit of health and the yearnings for longevity became craze almost amounting to madness. and before the questions what to eat, drink and to avoid, and what to wear, and how to live, by what means to avoid infection. to keep off disease, and to escape death for few weary and wearied years, were the all-engrossing ones. Another urges that the survival of the Attest" so far as the race is concerned, is great mis- take; and that humanity in general would be great deal better off if there were less of the loving labor now ex- pended in prolonging the lives of the weak, diseased and crippled.
 There Is no danger that either of these views will find general acceptance. The world has become so accustomed to studying the laws of health and long life, and enjoys the study so much, that it is not likely to abandon it, even for the purpose of bringing back the happy days when men didn't care anything about diet and drainage and pure air. There is just as little danger of any retrogression in the matter of caring for the sick and helpless. It may be worse for the race, in one aspect of the case, to prolong lives of suffering and to interfere with the natural process which extinguishes the weddings in a few generations. But what the race loses in this way it is repaid an hundred fold in the cultivation and expansion of its finer emotions.-Detroh Free Press.

Remarkable Escape.

John Kuhn, of Lafayette, Ind, had a very narrow escape from death. This is his own story: ''One year ago I was in the last stages of consumption. Onr best physicians gave my case up. I finally got so low that our doctor said 1 could not live twenty-four hours. My friends then purchased a bottle of Dr. Wm Halls Balsam for the lungs, which benefited me-
 1 continued until I took nine bottles. I am now in perfect health having used no other medicine" From the above it is plainly evident that there is cure for consumption, even in the most hopeles cases, and that cure is Dr. Wm. Halls Balsam for the lungs Cures all coughs and colds. Cures all diseases of the lungs and chest. Cures pneumonia and sore throat, and Is a sure cure for consumption, if taken ill season 3

Snake Stories from the White Sulphur
 Springs.

There arc no flies or mosuuitoes at the White Sulphur, but there are plenty of snakes in the outlying neighborhood. The mountains are filled with copper. heads, rattlesnakes and adders. There are no desirable walks and drives about here. The majority of visitors keep within the 800 acres known as the White Sulphur reservation. The other day d mountaineer bought ill two huge rattle snakes. He had them in wooden box with glass top. The snakes were very active and vicious. They rolled, hissed and struck at visitors who bent over the box, greatly to the terror of the ehil- dren who crowded about the owner uf the snakes. One colored man expressed great fear that the snakes would get out and bite some one. "That would be all day with them, I guess" said he. "Oh, no said the mOuntaineer "a rattle snake bite doesn't amount to nothin'."
 "It don't?" said visitor.
 "No, said the mountmneer there is not man up in our pearts but what has been bit by rattlers a good many times It Is easy enough to cure the bite"
 "How
 Some put on turpentine. That draws the pizen out. Jest put the mouth of bottle filled with turpentine on the wound, and the pizen will dror out and make the turpentine green. Some, how ever, kill the snake and bind a piece ot it on the bite. That drors the pizen out. There is man up oIr way, however, who never does nothin' when rattler bites him. He has been bitten three times. The bites kind swelled up, but after a time the swelin' went away again"
 "Did he say he did nothing to cure the bites ?"
 "Yes."
 He must have lied"
 He IS a preacher, and"
 Enough-you need go no further"
 The mountaineer says that the worst snake in the mountains is the copper head. It gives no warning, is often in- clined to be aggressive, and strikes quickly and surely. Its bite is much more deadly than that of the rattle snake. There is den of snakes at Cool Knob, station some thirty miles from here, where there are thousands of snakes in & great cavern that no native has ever been bold enough to approach, 10 say nothing of exploring.

Rescued from Death.

William J. Coughlin, of Somerville, Mass, says: In the fall of 1876 I was taken with bleeding of the lungs followed by severe cough. I lost my appetite and flesh, and was confined to my bed. In 1877 I was admitted to the hospital The doctors said had hole in my lung as big as half dollar. At one time re- port went around that I was dead. I gave up hope, but friend told me of DR. WILLIAM HALLS BALsAM FOR THE LUNGS. I got bottle, when to my surprise, commenced to feel better, and to-day feel better than for three years past.
 Il write this hoping every one afflicted with diseased lungs will take DR. WILLIAM HALL'L BALsAM, and be convinced that CONSUMPTION CAN BE CURED. 1 can posi- lively say it has done more good than al the other medicines 1 have taken since my sickness.

the movement they were engage n,
 We shall soon look ill upon Cornw lis as stern as the grave" wrote an officer to friend in the North, and he only re- hected the general expectation. From Baltimore, Washington and Rocham- beau and their suites rode rapidly over land, stopping at Mount Vernon on the 9th and 10th the chiefs first ,isit to his home for six years-and on the 18th reached the.camp of Lafayette at Will lamsburg, who had been reinforced with 3,00U French troops, under St. Simon, brought on by De Grasse. When Clinton, at New York, woke up to the fact that Washington had given him the slip, he saw no other way of meeting the danger to which Cornwallis would be exposed but by attempting to go to his relief by sea.
 La Fayette's little army at Williams burg, the American part of wRich had been lowering about and lodging Corn- wallis ever since he entered the State once, indeed, attacking him at Green Springs, near Jamestown, but without success-received Washington with un- bounded enthusiasm. As he approached the camps with Rochambeau, the troops turned out on their parades, Q salute of twenty-one guns was fired, and later in the afternoon the Marquis St. Simon gave sumptuous entertainment, at which the chiefs and all the officers were present. "To add to the happiness of the evening" says one of the guests, an elegant band of music played an in- productive part of French opera, sig nifying the happiness of the family when blessed with the presence of their father and their great dependence upon him. About 10 o'clock the company rose up, and, after mutual congratulations, and the greatest expression of joy, they separated. In a few days the troops from the northward arrived in trans ports from the head of the Chesapeake. landing near Williamsburg by way of the James, and on the 27th of Septenl- Der the combined force was ready to move upon Cornwallis at Yorktown be- low. The situation thus presented was the great surprise of the Revolution. It appears as one of the few grand rehev- ing features in an otherwise compara- lively tedious war, for here We have piece of strategy on Washington's part which involved for the first time exten- sive and critical movements, and whose details were carried out with singular precision and success. Clinton is quietly left in the lurch at New York Wash ington boldly marches 400 miles away, and suddenly crushes his famous lieu tenant at point where assistance can not reach him. Magasine.

USEFUL HINTS.

ONE gallon of neatsfoot oil, mixed with four ounces of lampblack, makes good harness oil.
 DEcAYNe cabbage is said to be par ticularly efficacious in breeding diph- theria. While you are removing the cabbage from your cellar, take out all the other decaying vegetables.
 RECIPE for polishing furniture: Make mixture of three parts linseed oil and one part spirits of turpentine. It not only covers the disfgured surface, but restores the wood to its original color, and leaves a luster upon the surface. Put on with a woolen cloth, and when dry rub it with woolen.
 To PREVENT the soles of boots or shoes | from squeaking, rasp with a coarse rasp | the insole and outsole and every other piece of leather that comes in contact in friction by the action of the foot then apply freely good wheat or rye paste. + this is freely attended to from heel to toe, the boot or shoe will not squeak.
 RECIPE for pleasant and durable per fume: Take thirty drops of oil of berga- mot and the same quantity of oil of lavender; add fifteen drops of neroli, five drops of oil of verbena, and the same of oil of cloves; of essence of musk, amber Gris and jasmine each half a drachm. Mix all in two ounces of rectifed spirit of wine, and you will have the famous Bouquet de la Reine."
 To MAKE the hair stay in crimp. take cents worth of gum arabic, and add to it just enough boiling water to dis solve it. When dissolved, add enough alcohol to make it rather thin. Let it stand all night, and then bottle it to prevent the alcohol from evaporating. This put on the hair at night, after it Is done up in paper or pins, will make i, stay in crimp the hottest day, and is perfectly harmless.
 ONE who has tried everything saws that, after an experience of fifteen years. he has found nothing equal to the fol towing as cement for leather belting Common glue and isinglass, equal parts, soaked for ten hours in just enough water to cover them. Bring gradually to boiling heat, and add pure tanniIl until the whole becomes ropy or appears like the white of eggs. Buff off the surfaces to be joined, apply this cement, and clamp firmly.
 TIE following is said to be an excel. lent method of fastening cloth to the tor of tables, desks, etc.: Make mixture of two and quarter pounds of wheat flour, two table-spoonfuls of powder C resin, and two table-spoonfuls of pow dered alum rub the mixture in suita ble vessel, with water, to uniform smooth paste !; transfer this to small kettle over the fire, and stir till tht paste is perfectly homogeneous withou Jumps. As soon as the mass has become so stiff that the stiTrer remains uprigh in it, transfer it to another vessel ant cover it up so that no skin may form or it's surface. This paste is applied in very thin layer to the surface of tn, table the cloth, or leather, is then iai, and pressed upon it, and smoothed with roller. The ends are cut off after dry ing. If leather is to be fastened on this must first be moistened with water The paste is then applied, and the leathe rubbed smooth with cloth.

He was Q young country fellow, ht- tie awkward and bashful, but of sterling worth of character. She was a Cincin- lati belle, and had sense enough to ap- preciate his worth despite his awkward ness and bashfUlness, and was his tiancee. On gloomy Sunday evening last winter, they were standing in front of the window in the parlor of her home on East Walnut Hills, watching the snowhakes rapidly falling outside. He was not up in society small talk, and, being hard up for something to say, re- marked as he watched the snow falling :
