sell goods cheaper than any other
clothing house in Cheboygan:

We bought OUR stock in January, which
is out of season and goods were very cheap.
We paid strictly cash for every dollars
worth of goods we bought, which gave us
the benefit of the cash discount. Merchants
in the east were hard up and we had no
trouble in making our own price on great
many goods as some of the jObbers were on
the verge of bankruptcy and our money
came in handy.
We have no rent to pay, as. we own the

We employ no clerks. In fact our expen-

Jumbo as q Gentleman.
Haraers Young People.l !

Mr.. Barnum sends the following
short account of Jumbo's introduction
to his herd of elephants:
''The day after Jumbo's arrival at
Madison Square garden we resolved to
introduce him to the thirty-fve Indian
elephants which we had there Some
of us feared fhe result, butScott insisted
that Jumbo was too much of a gentle
man to misbehave. So we placed our
thirry-fiye elephants in a row, each be-
ing chained one leg to post, and then
Scott led Jumbo in. He passed in front
of the string of elephants, looking at
first little surprised, as did all the
other elephants when they first discov-
cred him approaching. But Jumbo and
all the other elephants at once looked
kindly, and each extended its trunk as
Jumbo passed, which he fondly took
with his own trunk, giving each ele-
phant kind caress. Mutual affection
seemed at once established, and il ex.
tended without interruption till the day
of his death. +"

A Chat with Anna Dickinson.

In New York the other day met
Miss Anna Dickinson. and enjoyed a
long evenings talk with her. For many
months Miss Dickinson. has been seri-
ously out of health. 1t is ten years
next spring since she made her debut
on the stage in the Globe theatre in
Boston. Before that time her life had
been one of phenomenal brilliancy and
success. She had fame and wealth,
honor and troops of friends. She had
been most remarkable figure in our
national life.
Of her experiences since her memora-
BILE entrance on the stage little need be
recalled. She was then young woman
just slipping out of her twenties, but
Il had lived one life" she said to me
in this talk last week. Il had lived it
intensely and it was over. The people
with whom I had worked were old.
Well, l was old, too, in that sense.
But in reality was young was in
the fullest tide of ambitions, of powers,
and ! had another life to live. So ]
went on the stage" Her old magnetic
brilliancy asserted itself in this conyer-
sation and sat as under spell. Just
what will be Mrs. Dickinson's future
line of achievement is not, 1 think, yet

THE SOCIAL FEATURES or ALASKA.
Manner Of Choosing wifs--Ths children

rSt I4nnis Gloha-Den,nnrat

lSt. Louis Globe-Democratl
A writer relates his experiences in
the snow-covered region of Alaska.
Speaking of the people and their domes-
tic habits he says: There is no mar
riage ceremony among them, but chill
dren are often betrothed by their par
ents at an early age, and this promise
is very faithfully kept. and they enter
upon their marriage relation at the age
Of 10 to 10 years. Where there has
been no childhood engagement the
mother makes selection for her son,
and the girl selected is invited to
the house, where she takes the place
of servant for short time, doing the
housework and cooking, generally re-
turning to her fathers iglee to sleep.
They often have family disagreements,
the husband resorting to blows when
the wife is sulky and disobedient, some.
times with the result of her running
away. We knew of one instance where,
owing to slight mistake the husband
had made in his estimate of his wife s
character, he obtained results not an
ticipated. While opt on deer hunt he
attempted to chastise her She retail
ated and gave him severe thrashing,
and then fed to a village seventy-five
miles away. At the time we landed at
Uglaamie this same woman carried on
her back box of lead weighing 2S0
pounds distance of over 200 yards.
When man of matured years loses
his wife either by death or incompati-
bility of temper he selects another, and
sometimes uses force A native from a
village to the westward, whose wife had
left him, came to Uglaamie to replace
her. One day we were attracted by
loud outcries from woman who had
been waiting around the station for
food We found our friend from Sidaru
vigorously cutting her ears, and it was
some time before we could make him
desist. He explained that he wanted
her for wife and was persuading her.
A more obedient or a better lot Of
children can not be found in all Chris
tendon. never saw one of any age do
a vicious or mean act, and, while they
were always around the station during
the fall and winter, they di no mis-
chief, but on the contrary, Won husy

of the tunnels, and running on err nds,

would wait around the door lo . m
bers of the party to come oar ~ AXE
their daily exercise, and wouIi ON
pany each member and every few mo-
ments they would say 'nanmitenity"
(now let me see); they would scan the
travellers face for frost bites. and were
ever ready with handful of snow to be
applied should they detect the slightest
sign of freezing. Their games were very
like what we see played among children
of our race, and, in imitation of the
pursuits of the elders, we often saw
them with play houses cut into the hard
snow, with snow images set up and the
little fur-clad mites of humanity bus
tling around, playing keeping house
and making calls, with the thermometer
at 40 degrees below zero.

When all the happy woods and hills
Are filled with Summers melodies,
When the coli hand OF Winter stills

My love, my love-" the whole year long.
For all the mystery OF life,
The hope OF dawn. the nights despair,
The greed Of gain, thu lust Of strife.
And grinding want and gnawing care,
Lie drowned beneath the sunlit sea

Hered ~ Genius In Dogs.

The longer live the more see and
am convinced that qualities in dogs,
aye, even to little queer tricks and ways,
are hereditary, and there is no such
thing as getting puppies from parents
that have been allowed to run to seed,
as far as proper training and field
practice is concerned, and expect them
to he clever and docile workers. The
thing is absolutely impossible. They
may by accident be gifted sometimes
with good nose--i. e., the mere power
of smell (Which is vastly different from
cleyerness and Judgment in using that
power and with animal powers of pace,
ETC.; but talent, cleverness, and brains
strong enough to stand and hold high
breaking are not there. The result is
forgetfulness, want of self-control, and
want of method in hunting, to say
nothing of the higher quality Of origi-
nality in mode Of outwitting game,
which in really great dogs amounts to
genius.

woolen Coats in summon

The German traveller, Dr.. Gerhard
Rohlfs, contends that it is unhealthy to
wear wooden clothing in the tropics. 1t
is well known, he says, that nearly all
animals in Europe have a thicker coat
in winter than in summer. But in some
hot regions of central Africa sheep i'm
ported from colder climates lose their
wool in the course of year, and their
skins are then thinly covered with hair.
The lion, which in north Africa has a
long and thick name, loses his name en-
tirely in central Africa.
These facts, argues DR.. Rohlfs, prove
that there must be some urgent cause
for deprlVing animals of their woolen
coats when they are in the tropics, as
in other places the same animals have
for thousand years been covered with
wool, both in winter and in summer,
and they give lesson to man which
he would do well to follow.

BARTHoLo, THE NOTED SCULPTOR,
Entertained by the Lotus Club Personal
Appearance His Great statue.

l.'Gath's' New YORK Letter.
A few nights ago Bartholdi. the
sculptor, was entertained by the Lotus
club, and 1870 guests were present.
Whitelaw Reid, president of the club.
presented the sculptor, who is differ
ent looking man from what | had sup
posed. Indeed, should have suspected
him to be an American of the frontier
order with some southern blood. He
has long black hair, clipped rather
evenly off at the bottom; has fore
head of only moderate height,
eyes rather en- the gray American
line than black or rich, and a strong
and powerful nose, hardly to be
matched in days walk, though it is a
Gothic nose. When he got up to speak
he spoke with a strong French pronun-
citation, going over his English words
slowly and thoughtfully.
He made good impression for his
modesty and simplicity, claiming moth
ing, but this work has cost him at least
nine years of arduous labor and debt
and experiment. It is the largest
statue in the world, and probably the
largest statue the world has ever had. 1t
had to be conceived with all the nicety
of an artist, and modelel with all the
experience of a mechanic. He not
only had to conceive it relatively, but
with reference to the elevation when
completed. Bartholdi is the principal
exponent, of either ancient OF modern
times, of colossal, or l might say,
gigantic statuary
The financial portion of this work
falls heavily on the artist. He is on
trial all the time, in his art, in his
resources, in the impression he can
make on great masses of people
who are called upon to put up
the money. He has at home and
abroad competitors, enyious of his CO.
lebrity and International fame. He lives
in country where much Of the best art
is miniature, and praised for its fine de-
tails rather than for its grandeur or size.
1t is the impression here that Bar
tholdi is out of pocket by this statue. 1t
has cost him a great many years,
has involved the expenditure Of
large amount of money, and
taking all his proceeds and dividing
them by the time, it would seem that
he might have made a great deal more
money by attending to the more selfish
forms of art,

The wholesome Fermentation.
Slang is the wholesome fermentation

Slang is the wholesome fermentation
or eructation of those processes eter-
nally active in language, by which froth
and specks are thrown up, mostly to
pass away, though occasionally to settle
and permanently crystalline To make
it palmer, it is certain that many of the
oldest and solidest words we use were
originally generated from the daring
and license of slang.

In Boston the law against smoking in
the streets still exists; and any unfort-
innate smoker could be arrested by any
policeman who chose to do so. In Eng

a nearly forgotten law forbidding driv-

murderer escaped all punishment by
claiming trial by combat; that is, that

Profitable Literary Work
fExchange.l

At present the most profitable kind
of literary work, says George Parsons
Lathrop, is that of play writing, and
the reason why dramatic authors are so
highly recompensed is because the
ability to construct a successful play is
extremely rare.

A noted writer upon the literature Of
Europe records that among our ances
tors the price of parchment compelled
them to singular economy of words.
and that often margins Of ancient books
were covered with civil contracts, and
that the most sublime works of Greece
and Rome were often erased to give
space to a private agreement or a
legendary absurdlty.
