Another Arctic Tragedy.

The story of another mighty trag
ody has come down from the northern
scas. Seventeen brave men. pinioned
upon an ice hoe, starved aud froze to
death in Il long agony. The pitilcss
northern winter would yield them
nothing but winding-shoet of frost.
and II couch of ice to die on. The
story emphasizes anew the wicked
ness OF tempting the fury of that bal-
bnrous zone. which offers nothing to
the living but llnspeakublc hardships.
and locks the earth even against MAX
ing grave for The dead Science asks
no more such costly sleriiecs and can
give no promises of II return commen-
sulate with the risk. even il the ut
most dreamed OF could be accom-
plished. Nature need not be blamed
Tor these deaths. 1t has placed its
warnings on tree and shrub, and CHS
cled thom on the glaciers. warning
daring mortals back from those fa
nesses whore winter holds his central
scat; whore the icy wind and Tie
burning frost are his ministers. N d

| the tree degoncrates into Il shrub. the
shrub itself disappears ut last. and all
tho life that is loft il that of the fishes

living thing the warning is plainly
written that it is no place for men.
And there Is no more cause for daring

well afford 10 die for principle; can
smllingiy look upon inevitable death.
if they know that because of their
deaths those who are to be, left wi |
be better or happier because of the
sacrifice. SO there was an excuse for
the act when the first explorers sailed
away, to see if now channels could not
be found which might bc utilized by
commerce: or if BY lifting the mys-
tory which surrounds the pole, 'ci ,ncc
might not be enriched. But most
of that Is passed. and the world is
settling down to the belief that men
who go on Arctic exploring expcdi-
tons now. 30 out in the face of dan
gers Which il is lii!lc credit 10 face.
and that when they die they die
rs the fool dicth. BY this we mean
no disrcspect TO the few who have re-
turned on to the mrny who have died
in the well nigh fruit!oss trial; but it
is true that civilization should inter
ferc and stop these murders. There
are better ways for mon to- live than
i'll facing those storms, more noble
why's to die than to freeze and s.arve

The Devil Exiied.

III zEopntEI.
No doubt, friend, twill please you
well,
The startling news ] have to tell:
The DEVILS banished from hell.
OH what y pity.
lie appeared last night to myself
Neur Chotcau City.
] had but left Ike fIazle.l's store
Not more than one short hour before,
And nearing to tho Teton shore.
| was alone.
L heard loud and omincus roar
And then a moan.
/ placed he bottle to my lip
And took right good hearty sip.
This screwed my courage some hing
up.
I did not fear:
Yet tightly did my pistol grip.
And venttred near.
There sat something like man:
His outline I could fairly scan.
On drawing nigh he thus began,
Through falling tears:
"For ages past / led the van
Of hcll's dark peers.
"Twas l who raised the LATHE yell
And led The rough h-shod troops OF hell
What time in heaven did rebel
And to this time
My numerous onslaughts who can tell
In prose or rhyme.
'In subtle forms T sometimes lurk.
In head of Celt or heart OF Turk
Til wrealing axe or bloody dirk
Attest my hand;
My numerous imp do such work
AT my command.
'But now. alas. / chief of hell.
Dethronel ut last, the thought dispel,
/, before whom in council fell
And bent the knee
Chiefs. princes, and potentates Us we'll
Knights of degree.
"Thc communistic royalty
SO incensed tho commonality
As TO declare their disloyality
To me, their chief,
Which reduced my prineipality
10 utter grief.
assassination. communism cried;
Assassination. The commons rcpliel;
So to escapa high regicido
That very night
For safety alone I relied
On instant flight.
And scarcely had l gained the door.
And looking round to explore,
When 10! a loud. tumultous roar
Made Hades ring.
The commons sternly held III, door
And named their king.
"a nitro -glyccrinc scene did follow.
With many Il hcinou. scroech and hello
And many an honest, gallant follow
AS e'cr drew ireath.
In bloody gore that night did wallow
And tasted death.
10 stop this r:o Apoilyon cried.
Bring forth the book, and thus decide
Who may be the best qualified
BY deeds on record
amen. amen" the host replied
" I'm one accord.
"Jhehools produced, records read.
A Teton dame was far ahead
In malice, cunning and subtlety led
And defamation:
SO she was chosen in my stead
BY acclamation.'
But ere I'd time to talk the matter
His mai, $ : stail;ed ncross the water,
rom right TO left the flood did apatter,
md gained the shore.
u he. non his hoefs did ciattor
Above the roar.
4 willie | stood afaazed, nst st)undcd,
Like one who is sore confoundol.
Then atraightway home"ard bounded
With Lightning speed,
Like one who pursued and bounded
For some foul deed.

The bravest woman in the world
lives in Hartford, according to the
Times of that city. She is not yet
twenty years of age and has immort-
allied herself by her courage. She
has shown it in tacking, single e-hand-
ed and alone, and capturing the fe-
rocious mouse. While the other la
dies of the household ran screaming
away from the animal and fonnd
safety only in mounting the chairs
and tables our heroine with unblanch-
ed cheeks, walks into the pantry
where the vicious beast ia lurking be-
hind the pans or dishes, and, regard
less of personal safety, begins the
hunt by rafting the tiuware. In q
moment the mouse is scamperlng
along the shelves, spurred up to its
utmost activity by the hands of the
plucky girl, who is determined to
capture the animal alive. A live
mouse in a women's bandsl Can
you realize the courage it requires
for woman to handle live mouse2
A little cry of delight and the victory
is won. The girl comes out of the pam
try with a smiling face and cheeks
rosy with the excitement Of the chase
She goes into the sittingroom hold
ing the prize in her hand, the little
fellow struggling to get away. The
ladies, still ptrched on the chairs and
table, set up chorus of screams,
much to the deligh of the brave
young lady, who sometimes varies
the sport by letting the captive loose
on the table or floor. The scene that
follows, If it could be reproduced on
the stage of theatre, would make q
fortune for the manager.
This girl has got stick with twen-
ty.nine notches upon it, each notch
representing q mouse caught by her
own hands. In the eyes Of her fe-
male relatives she is a greater heroine
then Joan of Arc.

Salt as IL Remedy for Dyspepsia
The Shaker Manifesto has the fol
lowing: "Half teaspoonful of COM
mon salt dissolved in q little cold
water and drank, will instantly re
lieve heartburn or dyspepsia. If tax.
en- every morning before breakfast,
increasing the quantity gradually to
teaspoonful to glass of water, it
will in few days cure any ordinary
case of dyspepsia, If, at the same
time, due attention is paid to the diet.
There is no better remedy than the
above for constipation, no better
gargle for sore throat. 1t is equal
t. chlorate of potash, and is entirely
safe. 1t may be used as often as de-
sired, and, If little is swallowed
each time 1t will have q beneficial ef-
feet in the throat by cleansing 1t and
allaying irritation. In doses of one
to four teaspoonsful 10 half pint of
tepid wat er it acts promptly as an
emetic, and in cases OF poisoning 10
always at hand. II is an excellent
remedy for bites and stings ofinsects,
and a valuable astringent for hem0r-
rhages, particularly for bleeding af
ter the extraction of a tooth. 1t has
both cleansing and healing properties,
and Is, therefore, most excellent ap-
plication for superficial liberation"

The Verdict.

A man had met girl in a lonely
place and forcibly kissed her. She
was terribly indignant, and had him
arrested. She gave an account on
the witness stand of how he gazed
at her intently, and item, suddenly
throwing his arms around her, i'm.
printed kiss upon her lips. The
prisoner made no defense, and the
Jury was expected to promptly con-
vict him of assault. They returned
to the courtroom. "The ju-ju-jury
w-would like TO ask the young
lady two questions" the foreman said.
The judge consented, and she went
on the stand. "D-d-did you wear
the J-j-jersey that you've g-g-got
on nows" "Yes, sir, was the de.
mure reply. sand was your hs-ha-
hair b-b-banged like thati" ayes,
sir" "Then, your honor, we acquit
the p-p-prisoner on the ground of
