IERCURY FROZE,
A VERY INTERESTING FACT

Was discovcred-that the tides at Lady
Franklin Bay came from the north, while
those at Melville Bay and Cape Sabine
came from the south. The temperature of
this north tide is two degrees warmer than
that of the south tide at Cape Sabine. Why
this was Greely would not venture to state.
He used in measuring the ebb and flow of
the tides q fixed gauge-an iron rod planted
in the mud. The average rise of the spring
tides at Lady FRANKLIN Bay was found to
be eight feet. At Cape Sabin the highest
tide rise was twelve feet A surf was only
observed twice during the two years At
Lady Franklin Bay the average tcmpera-
ture of the water was 25o above zero.

UNUSUAL FEATURES.
Some additional and unusual features.
however, remain to be presented. 1t is pro-
vided in the Act of the Provincial Legisla
ture that the railway, that is, the work
shops and other necessary buildings, also
all the capital stock of the company, shall
be exempt from municipal and Provincial
taxation for ten years from the completion
of the road. This additional subsidy is |
equal to the amount of taxes which would
have been levied against the company. An
other feature not to be found in any grant
of aid by the Congress of the United States. |
is found i'll Section IS of the Act granting |
the subsidy, in these words " The railway |
to be constructed by the company in pur |
suance of this Act shall be the property of
the company" From this it would seem
that the Provincial Legislature has deter
mined to settle at the outset the question of
ownership OF the property, and declares in
advance that when the road is completed
it is to be private property and the property
OF the company or its assigns

THE LESSON.

To ward off the cholera and Danish 1t
from the earth, il will be necessary TO have
perfect system of sewerage. The eucreta
of human beings must be mixed with dry
eartl, and that Immediately, before there
is n chance for the microbes TO reproduce
themselves. When this il done uniy'r-
sally one half the active diseases will dis
appear from the world. 1t is now settled
beyond all peradventuie that the COM
plants from which mankind suff,rs, such
as fevers, diphthera. and tie like, are due
to animaicuiae or inflsorea which are pro-
pagaled in the refuse OF the human system.
This Is a matter too little understood by
heads OF families, and especially by per
sons that nurse the sick and have the care
of children. There should be no delicacy
about this subject, because il involves lie
and death. Ii should be part OF the edn-
cation OF every woman to know how To
render contagion Of this kind innocuOus,
Then every municipality should inangu-
rate perfect system OF sewerage, 40 that
the fertile materials taken from the soil IN
the form of food should be returned back TO
il in the form OF sewage. To conquer ma.
tnre we must obey her, says the sage.
The refuse of our bodies, which engenders
all manner of foul diseases is the nutri-
ment, the very life Of the plants we live.
upon. The river bottom, the black soil
OF the swamp, eugenders all manner Of
fevers destructive To human life, but drain
ed and properly manipulated these same
rank soils produce abundautly OF the
grains upon which we live.-From Demor-
eats Monthly tor September.

The New York Sun is not supporting
Blaine because it is Democratic paper
and it is not supporting Cleveland because
il thinks Cleveland is not fit for the high
Office. OF the scandal it says;
The private life OF candidate for Pres-
dent is proper subject OF examination.
No matter if he displays honesty in finan-
cial affairs; no matter, indeed, if he exhib-
its political virtue and all possible admin
istrative talents, yet il we say tina. his mode
OF life is beastIy, if he is given to coarse
intrigues and purchased amours, If he is,
in short, not man but an animal, then
we don't want him for President OF the
United States. We do not believe the
American people will knowingly elect tc
the Presidency coarse debauchee who
would bring his harots with him TO Wash
ington ard hire lodgings for them conven-
lent to the White House. The private
life for candidate for the Presidency Is a
matter of public concern, and we trust tha
Mr.. Cleveland will prove able to clear him
sell of every imputation OF this sort.

The Presidential Candidate or the
Prohibition Party.

We have heretofore presented our read
era with portraits of the Presidential cam
didates of the Republican, Democratic and
Greenback parties, and to complete the
list of candidates in the field for the great
Office OF the Presidency we herewith pub
lish an excellent likeness OF ex-Governor
81. John, of Kansas, who, with William
Daniel of Maryland, will lead the Prohi.
bitionists in the coming campaign.
John z. st. John, nominated by his
party as it's Presidential ca candidaie, WINS
born a, Rockville, Indiana, Feb. 25'
1888, and is IN his fiity-hrst year. His
father WIS II farmer, somewhat addicted
to Incorporate habits, and young ST.
john after spending his early boyhood
laborirg upon his fathers farm, engaged
himself MS n clerk in grocery, in which
capacity he served until nearly twenty
years of age, employing all his leisure
hours in hard study of the lower branches
OF education California now attracted
the young man to the Pacific Coast, where
he spent several years IN such occupations
rs a wood chopper and IL steamboat hand.
During this period st. John made voy-
ages to Mexico, South America, and the
Sandwich Islands and tour through
Central America. In 1852 and 1858 he
enlisted in the war against the Indians
and was very seriously wounded i'll two
engagements.
In these years of hardship young St.
John managed to gain very respectable
knowledge of the law, and in 1860 he en-
gagged as n clerk with law firm in Charl-
ton. III. In short time lie became n par.
tner in the Concern, but at the outbreak OF
the war he patriotically enlisted as n pri-
vate in the Sixty. eighth Illinois Volun-
| teers. At the close OF hostilties he had
risen to the rank of a Lieut.. Colonel. He
now settled at Independence, Mo-, and be-
gan the practice of his profession, but in
1869 he removed to Olathe, Kansas, and
here began his active career in politics
In 1872 he was sent TO the State Senate,
and IN 1878, and again III 1880, was elected
Governor of Kansas. He was in these
years recognized leader Of the Repub!i-
can party, but his extreme views on tenn
perance legislation and prohibition have
caused him to forsake the former party
and become an ardent worker in the ranks
of the Prohibilionis,s, who he now leaGs AZ
their National candidate.
Mr.. st. John is man of fine presence
and unimpeachable character. His con-
victions are maintained with a vigor ant
ability that command admiration from
all, il not full endorsement OF the oppor
tuneness of their promulgalion.
