white as marble and as hard to see through as so
much snow, caused by the infinite number of
little seams running in every direction through
1t from the unequal expansion. Many of the
Eskimo children amuse themselves trying this
simple experiment until the white spots on the
clear ice OF the lake give it a most notified ap-
pearance.
Vapor and steam seem to roll away from
everything of n living nature, and the sledge
with its ten or fifteen dogs and its four or five
humans In harness looks like starting locono
tive enveloped in its escaping steam, and leaves
trail of vapor behind them resembling the dust
stirred UP on we'll used road by rolling wagon
wheels. Should the party halt to rest in a basin
like valley this vapor rapidly collects as fog
bank, and in little while becomes so dense as
to obscure the originators from a person at a
distance, but really makes their whereabouts
easily determined by this very sign.
Even the foot of person walking along, as it
is lifted from the ground, leaves little puff of
vapor to float away from the spot as if the
walker had stepped upon sponge saturated with
smoke, which was liberated by the pressure and
this, too, when there are four thicknesses of
heavy reindeer skin between the bare foot and
the snow underneath.
Whenever the sledge was travelling along, its
iced runners dragging along over the fine gritty
SHOWS would give forth clear. musical ring in
the bitter cold air that sounded very much like
the drawing of a resined bow over tuning fork,
a ell-known experiment in acoustic lectures.
Many of my readers who live, or have lived in
countries where the thermometer gets down to
zero and 20o below in the winter, have heard this
sound coming from the iron runners of the swift
gliding sleighs. and especially upon clear,
quiet night with but single sleigh within
hearing. Could you imagine that clear, frosty
ring as much louder as the whistle of steam
boat is above the whistle of man; certainly
multiplied manifold times, you could realize how
the iced sedge runners fairly sing with theinI
polished surface dragging over the marble-hke
SHOWS of the intense arctic cold. By holding the
ear near to the snow this music of the cold can
be heard a couple of miles away. and at this
great distance sounds like the soft murmurings
of aolian harp or distant mingings of
guitars.
A fallacious idea exploded by my Eskimos, at
least to great extent, was the use of snow to
quench the thirst, which every arctic writer has
been SO unanimous in condemning as hurtful.
My Eskimos used it at all temperatures to allie
yiate their thirst, first breathing the piece of
snow few times before putting it in the mouth.
[ have often seen Eskimo boys place steel
knife to their lounge and let it freeze fast,
and then swing it backward and forward until it
fell, and try and make it stick upright in the
snow

How to Keep Cigars Fresh.

" ashln9ton correspondence Cleveland Leader.
Elk Congressman Paige, of Ohio, is great
smoker, and he uses the best brand of cigars He
has an especially good way Of keeping his cigars
which he generally buys by the box He has a
close tin box about the size of cigar box, with
a close fitting lid When he gets box of cigars
he puts them into this and then lays piece of
soft paper over the top of them. He next vets
another piece of blotting paper lets the water
drip off of it, and lays this on the top OF the
other. He then closes the lid and puts the box
n the cellar. When he wants to use them he
takes off the top layer and gets at those beneath
This keeps the cigars always moist and fresh,
and Paige has never yet offered friend dry or
poor cigar He learned the scheme, he says, from
one of the most noted cigar makers of New York

A Fancy from Fontanelle.

''De memories do Roses ma point mourn lie
Jardinier."
The Rose in the garden slipped her bud.
And she laughed in the pride of her youthful blood,
As she thought of the Gardener standing by
HE is old so DID, And he soon will die"
The full Rose waxed in the warm June air.
And she spread, and spread till heart lay bare;
And she laughed once more she heard his tread
He is older now He will soon be dead!"
But the breeze of the morning blew and found
That the leaves of the blown Rose strewed the ground
And he came at noon that Gardener old;
And he raked them softly under the mold
And wove the thing to a random rhyme,
For the Rose is Beauty the Gardener Time.

And she blushed like sweet June rose.
''Fll marry you surely my dear. said she,
when the Keely motor goes.
And then he went out and dashed his head
With force gainst the granite WALL
IF you wait till then, I'm afraid, - he said,
You never will marry at all. !"

This country shall demand

Taking Care of the Health.
Milwaukee Sentinel.

1t ought to be habit without being matter
of daily consciousness, to take the proper pre-
caution against disease. The man who begins
late in life to take care of his health becomes q
nuisance--he thinks. and talks, and acts always
in relation to his health; while he who begins
early will talk no more about clothing himself
properly or doing any other hygienic act, than
he does about washing his face and his teeth.

From an uncommonly brilliant edito-
rial defense of Mr.. Gladstone by the
Shreveport Times, we clip the follow
ing paragraphs.
ait is not pretended that Russia has
encroachad upon British territory or in
fringed upon any British right. She
has merely advanced little nearer to
the British dominions in India, ON the
soil of a country that is foreign to both.
This is construed to be knocking the
chip off Britain's head, for WhIci, for
sooth, she must fight.
"The trouble about most wars Is that
they are entered upon too hastily and
without sufficient cause. The blessing
to England to-day is that she mas a man
at the helm who is wise enough to know
the evils of war, cool enough to weigh
its results and brave enough to with;
stand the popular clamor which would
plunge the country into disastrous
One.n
"Mr. Gladstone might have heard the
guns of Waterloo and is old enough to
remember the event. He might have
been frightened into quietness by his
nurse threatening to call up the ogre
confined for safety on the rocks of st.
Helena. His maturer years have been
directed to providing the ways and
means Of paying the debt which the
FreDch revolution enta1led on his coun-
try. tits not paid yet. Itnever will be
"Mr. Gladstone was in the prime Of
life aud usefulness as a public man
when British army went into this
same Afghanistan on as Qaixotic an er-
rand as is now urged upon him.
"The event is known in history as the
Afghanistan disaster" Only one man
was left to tell the tale of defeat, suf-
fering and defeat.n
"Hence Mr.. Gladstone, as true pa
triot, does not like war. He hesitates
before going into war with the greatest
empire in the world, with Ireland
growing at his back and bis armies cut
TO pieces in the Soudan. To those of us
who have seen so much suffering caused
by useless wars. he appears as paragon
OF wisdom. To those who hate carnage
on general principles, he appears as a
paragon of humanity. Blessed are the
peace makers; for they shall be called
the children Of Cod"
