the committee should allow Ninderman to testify
to his opinion of the wisdom of belong in selecting
the course OF retreat which he adopted. Judge

The Board OF Railroad Commissioners have
announced the following decisions:
On petition of franklin & Megantic Rail-
road Co. for ap .roval of Decentralization
approved, certificate issued.
On petition of Anson q New Portland Rail-
road Co. for approval of Standardization
approved, certificate issued.
On the petition. of the franklin & Somerset
Railroad Co the commissioners announces the
following:
"We, the undersigned, Board OF Railroad
Commissioners, having, at the request
of the officers of said corporation and
others interested in the construction of
the above named road, made . personal
examination of the proposed route, and
given a rehearing to the petitioners for
approval of location Of the same at q meeting
of the board, held at Strong, in the county Of
Franklin, on the third day OF April, 1884, and
having carefully considered all the additional
facts adduced 10 evidence at said hearing, re-
lating to said route-fnd no sufficient reason
for changing or revising our former decision
announced February s, 1884. While we SYM
pathize with the petitioners in their desire sox
railroad accommodations, we are satisfied that
construction of the proposed road to North
New Portland would be an infringement npon
the natural and acquired rights Of the Somer-
set Railroad Company. We believe that IL
the business OF that locality will warrant the
building of any railroad therein, 1t should be
an extension of said Somerset road, or one to
connect Herewith.

The food so taken goes all 10 fat. A
nap after each meal is also conducivey
to the same great end, but gentle exer-
else should be taken between meals to
promote appetite. Large doses of
fresh air. avoidance of cnviouS thoughts,
entire cOntcnimcnt with ones lot in
life, ones children. husband. relatives
and friends complete the same great
end. There is ore great advantage de-
rived from the craze on fat or no fat.
1t is poor rule that don't work both
ways, and many of the laws for gain
ing or losing flesh are the same, and
ale great health-prOmOters. The for
nation of tennis, skating, swimming,
and walking clubs, and the patronizing
1f them by both stout and thin alike. is
adding greatly to the health of our wo-
men. The role of invalid is no longer
fashionable, and it is considered rather
a reproach to be delicate. San Fran
ciscans are rivaling English women in
their physique and powers of endur-
ance. Small waists and feet, or rather
shoes, are going out of style, and ply
sicians who make female complaints a
specially are losing money. Our grow
ing girls are well developed for their
age, and following the examples Of
their mothers, are devoted to all man.
ner of physical exercises. Pretty girls
naturally, perfect health, will make
them beautiful, and strong enough to
stand any amount of mental culture.
What may we not predict for the future
of San Francisco, ruled by the sons Of
such women, for after all, boy is like
his mother.

A Call on the Family of Lieut.. Greedy.

A pleasant call on Lieut.. Greely and
family at the house of a relative has
beguiled the darkness of an autumn
storm. The gentleman, so famous, was
sitting rs restfully at a window over
looking Summer street as if his eyes
had never been darkened by the polar
night. Mrs. Greely, the Henrietta"
for whom the explorer named his new
glacier in Grinnell Land, is a lady of
tall and graceful mien, with black eyes
and raven hair. Her voice is musical
and low, as is that of her husband when
he discourses in an informal way on the
scenes of the high ATTITUDES. Their ht-
tie girls, Antoinette and Adola, adorn
this home picture of the reunited FAM
lily. His explanation of the spiral mo-.
ton of the midnight sun solved q
problem that Imagination could not
picture, nor the artist hand of Bradford
trace, in his paintings of polar regions.
In speaking of the colors that adorn
the long day, he described the appear
ance of the glacier and the snowfields,,
when in Natures rarest moments she
strews them with colors of every gem
and Jewel. Sometimes the snow scenes
are lit by diamond DUST when the
air seems filled with powdered gold, lit
by rainbows. The grandest effects of
the aurora borealis belong to the more
southern regions of the arctic lands;
Not always can these brilliant lights
cheer the forlOrn band, but Fancy will
often picture a shrine where Nature
lights the crystal day and the slowly
varying seasons with strong hues. The
midnight sun will seem to light the
transparent polar day, moving along.
above the horizon line, mounting slow.
ly with spiral motion, higher and higher,
to the zenith of the polar day. In the
same strange procession we shall see,,
aided by the enraptured imagination,
the march of the stars, not rising and
setting as from our own skies, but cir
cling around the northern heavens
mounting slowly through the lingering
hours, till they reach the noon of the
polar night.
Silence, eternal silence reigns alone
In cold, cold splendor on that solemn shore!
No chanting pillows break with sounding roar,
No winds in wild :eolian measure moan
To wake the echoes of that frozen zone.
The phantom birds that haunt the sunless day
Wave their white wings, and sOnglesS fly away,
Awed by the splendOr of that shining throne
Where far-Of seas unknown breathe not their
undertOne.
