Strange Fun for Young Men.

Young men in Nashville used to have
strange idea of fun. About twenty
years ago, during a cold spell, they
organized a society with fun as its
avowed object. The fun consisted in
raising money and distributing it among
the poor people of the city and county.
In the course of one winter they raised
and gave away $4,000. The young men
who were engaged in this frolic are now
gray-headed, but they maintain that
they never in their lives enjoyed them
selves as much as they did during that
memorable winter. A few such practical
jokes would be blessing to every town
in the United States.-Chicago Journal.

A Correspondents Opinion of Chicago

1t is the objective center of every
western railroad; it has energy, thrift,
and money; it is Chicago-the busy,
pushing, substantial, good, bod, hand
some, ugly, prosaic, and interesting city
of the great west. One must see it be-
fore thinking he has seen America. 1t is
to the west what New York is to the
east-the great center, the real me-
tropolis. the city where there is to be
seen every phase of life that has any
where an existence. Its many arms
reach out in every direction. grasping
whatever is good, bad or indifferent.
Like a huge giant, ravenou' and strong,
it lies in the very center of .he country,
feeding upon the east and its own sur
rounding territory, and supplying the
cities and the villages that have now
grown accustomed to look to it for their
support. San Francisco Paper.

An Impressive Funeral Ceremony.

Of all the vast heritage of Spain the
one thing which she certainly has left to
her is Dicturesqueness. As we read the
report of King Alfonsos funeral we are
back in the depths of the middle ages.
ct the Escurial, we are told, "the pro-
cession wound up the hill to the mon
astery. When the funeral car reached
the principal door it was closed. The
lord chamberlain knocked for admit
tance. A voice inside asked, who
wishes to enter? The answer given
was Alfonso XII The door was then
thrown open. No one de-
scended to the, vault except the prior,
the minister of grace and justice, and
the lord chamberlain. The coffin was
placed on a table in a magnificent black
marble vault, in which the kings of
Spain lie in huge marble tombs all
around.
The lord chamberlain unlocked the
coffin, which was covered with cloth Of
gold, raised the glass covering from the
kings face, then, after requesting per-
feet silence, knelt down and shouted
three times in the dead monarch's ear:
'Senor, senior, senor' He then rose,
saying, according to the ritual, His
majesty does. not answer, Then it is
true the king is dead He locked the
coffin, handed the keys to the prior, and
taking up his wand of office, broke it in
his hand, and flung the pieces at the
foot of the table" What perfection of
mise en- scene! In what other country
the modern world is such 4 function

WHITE SLAVERY IN CANADA.

fs q 3.
A Disgraceful State of ThinGs-Wornen
and Children.Ielples Victims.
A correspondent sIeess has been calling at
tention recently to q most disgraeeful
state Of things connected with the Lab
rador fishery. It may be:renembered
that during the late disastrous gale on
the Labrador: coast g singularly large
number of women and children were re-
uo,rted, as lost. : at the time it!was not
possible to account for this, but the cor
respondence referred 10 makes the whole
matter plain -,
It has for many years been the Gus
tom, to. transport at the opening OF the
fishing season several. Thousand women
and, children to Labrador, wiherei they
remain -four months, engaged ii Sfring
the fish caught by the men. They are
carried to the scene of their lapors
packed in the holds of small vessels, and
the horrors Of this passage, as described
by those familiar. with the facts, rival
those of the dreadful middle passage
in the old slave trade. Not onlywomen
and children, but animals Of several
kinds, dogs, sheep, goats etc., are
slowed in the close and filthy hold, and
as the weather is generally rough the
matches are usually kept down all the
time.
The passage, takes from ten days to
two weeks. On reaching Labrador the
passengers are exhausted and half
poisoned by four air filth. They are,
however, forced to 60 on shore at once
and clean out the turf huts, which have
been filed with ice and snow all the
winter. In these wretched novels,
which are always damp and dirty, the
poor creatures must live throughout the
season. The curing of the fish is a
laborious and incessant task, and at the
end of the season, having meanwhile
been illfed, worse lodged, and worn out
by hard work, the white slaves are once
more packed into, the noisome holds OF
the schooners and consigned to another
hideous voyage. AS storms arefrequent
toward the close of the season, and as 1t
is almost impossible fo- the inmates of
the hold to get out in the event Of an
emergency, the wrecks, which are
numerous in the fall Of the year, too
often include the drowning of whole
families like rats in trap. This is how
it came to pass that SO many. women
and children were lost in the late severe
gale on the coast of Labrador.
Perhaps the most remarkable fact is
that this. system Of white slavery has
been IN existence for half a century, and
that it is only now beginning to attract
attention and to call forth the strong
condemnation it deserves Johns

Remarks About the Hot Water Craze.

1tclnb&k6 tAUoVt tho LAW "e~A
was thinking about the hot water
craze the other day-how general it was,
and how completely it has gone out OF
fashion. 1t was almost equal to the
great blue-glass hoax, the most remark
able craze or delusion of modern times.
Seriously speaking, l know of only a
few people who are still engaged in the
use of hot water as a specific for dyspep-
sia, but know of no case where a cure
has been effected.
Now, in the case of a man given to
drinking whiskey i'll the morning, |
should imagine that the substitution OF
hot water would be Il good thing. 1t
would certainly relieve the dyspepsia.
One of my patients told me that he had
been drinking hot water, morning and
evening, but it did him no good. l was
not surprised at this when he told me
that he had been using the hot water in
connection with the other ingredients
necessary to make a hot-Scotch. L
don't mean to say, however, that any
harm attaches to the hot-water cure,
but it's best effects can only be secured
in connection with profound faith.-Dr.
A. c.. Robinson.

Making Mernaids for the Shows.

The making of mermaids Is pnreiy an
American achievement, although the
first inventor was an Englishrnan now
living in this city. They were first made
in this country thirty-three years ago., to
fill an order of noted Snowman. Hum
dreds since have been manufactured and
have been exhibited all over the country
as genuine. They are of all sizes and
shapes. The bodies and heads are made
of paper, rags and wire. The tails are Of
Goldfish. The teeth are fishes. The arms
and legs are turkey bones. Dried eyes
of the turkey are used when available.
They are presumed to be more hideous
and fossil-ike than those of glass or
paste. .... -
The success of every mermaid depends
upon her historian. There are men who
sit up nights to think of something new
to say about them. Some of the exhibit
ors are very happy and clever in the
descriptions. One of these said the other
day: ave been a side-shower all my
life, and have travelled the whole coun-
try over. The best route for mermaids
is through Ohio. The men there are wild
to see 'em. I've known half dozen en-
gagements of marriage broken off be-
cause the lovers would 60 to the tent.

A Novel Uses for Paper.

Paper, it is said, is taking the place of
cedar in the making of lead pencils. A
novel use for paper has been found in
the manufacture of pipes. In addition
to being absolutely tight and smooth,
and much cheaper than iron, these pipes
are of great strength, for when the sides
are scarcely three-fifths of an inch thick,
they will stand pressure of more than
fifteen at1nospheres. If buried under
ground they will not be broken by
settlement, nor when violently shaken
or Jared. The material being bad
conductor Of heat, the pipes do not
readily freeze.-Paper Making.

Dangers Of tho Metric Systesn.

The metric system of weights and
measures was adopted enthusiastically
in many laboratories when first intro
duced, but is now said to be rapidly
losing ground. 1t has been the cause OF
many serious errors. The fact that the
displacement of little dot will tHrn
comparatively harmless dose of medi-
cine into one having deadly poisoning
power bears strongly against it. Mr..
Oscar Oldberg, a much respected drug
gist, who formerly advocated the sys-
tenn. has decided it to be unsuited to our
requirements, and this will have much
influence with many people who felt
the defects of the system, but did not
like to reject t.-EXchange.

A Slight Change of Temperature "ouIo

The theory has long been advanced
that the poles Of greatest cold are not CO.
incident with the terrestrial poles, and
that the lowest mean temperature IS to
he found in the region of the Lena river
in Siberia. This idea was encouraged by
the fact, among others, the Polarls party
reported milder climate at Thank Goo
harbor than Kane experienced about 2oo
miles further south. The part of the
argument, however, which relates to the
Lena River valley is directly contradlcted
by Lieut., Greely's observations for two
years at Lady Franklin bay, where ne
found the lowest mean temperature yet
observed, about 4 degrees Fahrenheit.
Grinnell Land, therefore, as far as we
yet know, is the coolest part OF the
northern hemisphere. ..
Danish Greenland, whose mean tenn
perature hovers around the freezing
point, is buried under hundreds of feet
OF ice simply because about two inches
Of ice forms in winter more than is
thawed ont in summer. The authorities
interrestrial physics agree that itwould
require only a slight change in climatic
conditions to remove Greeniand's ice
blanket and cover the land with verdure.
Were it not for the presence of these i'm
mense ice masses constantly refrigerat-
ing the air, the summers OF Danish
Greenland would be as warm as those of
England. Mr.. Wallace is of the opinion
that if the two Arctic currents that
flow south along both sides of Greenland
were diverted from that country, the
great ice mantle would rapidly disap-
pear, and the country might even be-
come forest-clad and habitabla T.
The powerful modifying influence that
the great ocean currents from the south
exert upon climates is nowhere SO str1k-
ingly manifested as along the north coast
of Norway, which has milder temper
ature than any other part of the world
in the same latitude. At this moment
the little town of Bossekop, lying at the
foot of a ford which opens into the ICY
waters of the Arctic ocean, wrapped In
the twilight of the winter night, is sub
sisting largely on the grain that was
raised last summer on the valley farms
in q latitude about 600 miles north OF the
south end of Greenland. This fertile
spot is the most northern place in the
world where wheat and rye ripen.
It is the opinion of Sir William Thorn
son and other physicists that the prolific
animal and vegetable life which covered
Greenland and the neighboring lands IN
former geological age, whose fossil re-
| mains have been found in abundance
was due to warm ocean currents flowing
north at q time when our continent hao
not yet risen above the surface to impede
or divert thoir course.-New York Sun

from the simple fact that there is no issue
to be taken. And the reason why there is
no issue is that everything except the
gospel has been tried and failed. If the
gospel can't do it, then it is an incurable
case. But one trouble in accepting the good
doctors statement that the gospel is a
remedy. and the only one, lies in the fact
that the gospel application has never had a
fair trial. Those who are charged with the
duty of preaching it, in so many cases, have
axes of their own to grind that they neglect
the gospel entirely. They prefer to set up
their own work in the place of gospel
work. and the result is that their
own poor work is taken by the
world as an unsatisfactory specimen of
gospel fruit. If the preachers of every de-

GOV. PATTIsON,s PROTEST..

The vigorous protest which Gov. PATTI
SON. of Pennsylvania, makes against the
grasping and merciless aggression of the
coal pool in his letter to Attorney General
CASSIDY. will meet with sympathetic COM
mendation from every true friend of work
ingmen and of American industry. 1t is
monstrous that any combination of men
should take advantages of their power ard
of the necessities of the poor to further
cram their bursting pockets with the hard
earned wages of the laboring men. But
that is just what the railroads forming the
coal pool are attempting to do.
Having the matter of the anthracite coal
production entirely in their own hands. and
thus being able to control the law of supply
and demand to suit their own purposes.
they have raised the price of the coal which
the workingman must buy to keep his
family warm during the approaching win
ter Not only thus do they wiring the scanty
earnings from the pockets of labor, but by
limiting the production of the mines they
cut down wages to the lowest possible
notch Ear long time the poor people of
