Where 1t Really Is Cold.

FTeder rick Schwatka says: "The cold
est Spot is probably around the mag
netic pole. l myself found II deg.
belo wand moved camp twelve miles
that day. Therefore, it is quite posi-
BILE that at the pole itself there is open
water"
.'How cold is such temperature as
judged by results?''
st is pretty cold, but one gets used to
it. There is peculiar misunderstand-
ing about such low temperature in the
scientific world. / remember reading
in the Popular Scientific monthly, which
is supposed to be accurate, statement
to the effect that in such cold meat
taken from boiling pot will freeze
solid before it can be put into the mouth.
That is nonsense. Why. l have been
naked in Temperature of 6S deg. below.
1t was inside snow hut as l took off
my clothes and got into a sleeping bag.
1t is the wind that plays mischief with
everybody; but, fortunately, the colder
it gets the stiller it gets, and when it
gets away down it's pretty quiet, can
tell you. But when it gets to ordinary
temperature, then comes the torture.
When got on the whaler and began TO
get south, began to suffer eXcrutiat-
ingly, and thought l should suffocate;
fish out of water was nothing to it."

class. and I am absolutely dreadipg a

the moss-green outbreak. Let us fer

died out before the Christmas presents

But of all the arrangements of color

THE GIRLS OF AN OUTDOOR BALLET
now constituting part of show on
Staten Island. l was favored with an
entry behind the scenes. Their faces
and hands were tanned brown, as a
rule, for they were spending the sum
mer on the island and indulging in sun
lit diversions. The size and distance of
the show rendered it unnecessary to
powder or rouge, and so the sunburn
was not covered. Then their arms
from the wrists, and their bosoms from
the necks, were of the natural skin
color, differing from the fair whiteness
of the blondes to the tawniness of the
brunettes. Their legs were incased in
pinkish tights, matched by not square
inch of all the various baroness. 1t was
a comical proof of the fact that the term
''fiesh color" possesses no exact mean

Phi,osonbv on the Big Bridge.

They were sitting under the arch of
the New York tower on the bridge,
says the Evening Sun-a small, diff
dent-looking man and wild-eyed citi-
zen with long, shiny, black Trock coat,
a supine collar, and blue cravat.
mo, SIR" said the wild-eyed. 1.-THE
old blizzard couldn't shake that tower.
Do you know the reason?"
The diffident man confessed his ig-
norance.
"Well, it's a law of the elements,
that's what it is" resumed the unknown
philosopher. "There amt no element
or stone or anything that comes from
above the ground but what can be
If that tower had been built of brick it
wouldn't ha' stood two hours. First a

out of the side and the bridge would ha'
gone down into hijeous ruin. But that
tower is made O. granite. 1t come from
under the earth. That's the point.
Nothing that comes from under the
earth can be overthrown by any of the
forces of the air. l have studied about
them things and l know. Now there
amt many 'at 'ud'a' thought o. that,
but it's true. The granite is everlasting
because it comes from under the earth.
Don't you believe it?''
The last question was put in rather a
threatening tone, and the diffident man
promptly said it was perfectly clear, al
though an entirely new idea to him.
AS the wild-eyed one opened his
msuth to resume the conversation a
reckless June bug, dazzled by the glare
of the electric lamps at the rail. dashed
full into the opening and nearly
knocked the philosopher off the bench.
During the confusion the diffident man
made his escape and tried to think the
new theory over calmly as he walked
up town.

ON THE FERRY.

The river widens to painless sea
Beneath the rain and mist and sullen
skies.
Look out the window, It's gray emprise,
This plotting of massed humanity
On such day, from shore to busy shore
And breeds the thought that beauty is no
more.
But see yon a woman in the cabin seat,
The Southland in her face and foreign
dress;
She bends above babe, with tendern ess
That mothers use; her mouth grows soft
and sweet.
Then. lifting eyes, ye saints in heaven,
what pain
In that strange look of hers into the rain!
There lies vivid band of scarlet red
With careless grace across her raven hair
Her cheek burns brown; and It's her way to
wear
A gown where colors stand in satin's stead.
Along the winding roads of Italy.
Richard E, Burton,

and he would beat precipitate retreat
inside. When Joe wanted a drink
which was about every fifteen minutes
he would order the bartender to bring
it out into the middle of the street, set
it down and then go back into the sa-
loon. Then he would go and take it.
If the bartender exhibited the least
sign of hesitancy the gun was drawn to
a dead on him. Thus through the noon
hour and along into the afternoon the
time wore away. With his back to an
adobe wall with a slight retreat in from
the street line, Fowler was impregna-
bic. He was shot at with rifles and pis-
tolls, but every appearance of head or
hand called for an even quicker crack
from the smoking shotgun. 1t finally
resolved itself into question of how
long Fowler could keep up and keep
sober. He was beginning to show signs
of drunkenness at O'Clock, and by he
was staggering. Then Mexican, stim-
ulated by promise of a liberal sum,
glided along the adobe wall behind the
staggering but still dangerous man,
made great bound and had the shot
gun and arms that handled it pinioned.
FORCED TO LEAVE TOWN.
They took him to Jail and kept him
there for two weeks. He was fined $500,
and paid it. The man who had been

velvet, and tall ribbon-bows thrust
through with quill-feathers or set with
wings posed In the front of the crown,
varied in some models by posing at the
left side of the crown. An English
walking-hat of fine Milan braid in euca-
lyptus green is trimmed with green

1t was queer purpose to which Caro-
line Hoas put her peculiar figure. l
saw it itemized that she had been
caught smuggling large amount of
fine lace into port, and curiosity led me
to find out the unpublished particulars.
Miss HOas has a phenomenally small
waist, while her face, shoulders and
arms are very plump. She utilized her
STRANGE CONFEDERATION
by winding the slender portions of her
spool, until full $1,000 worth of the
filmy stuff enwrapped her. 1t must have
been dizzy job. When it was dGne
she was not disproportionately thick.
She put on cOrSetS anu her clothes
over the stock of lace. and
presented the quite proportionate figure
q a fattish woman. An Inspector Or
dered her to submit to an examination
by female searcher. Even through
this ordeal she might have passedin
safety if the examiner hadn't had tip
from spy passenger, for the corset hid
the goods; but it was known to the Of
ficial that either sudden corpulence or
hidden stuff had suddenly enlarged
Miss HoaS' waist, and SO the lace was
exposed and seized. Over a layer of
oiled silk, to protect the delicate goods
from the perSpiration sure to be en-
gendered, the woman was wound round
and round with yards upon yards Of the
lace.
So long as that despotic goddess,
Fashion, DEGREES the use of a certain

be ugly OF unbecoming. l am never tired
of citing as an example of this that
terrible red phase through which we
passed some time since, when every
thing, even our letter paper, was of that
glaring hue; and now, even before the
memory of that hideous period has
faded, we are threatened with an
equally frightful outbreak of the moss
green. This trying and discordant

this time did he ''cul
loose" In his establishment were
two gaming tables. At one he
presided and an employe pushed
other. One day a colOred soldier
walked in and wanted to WOO fortune at
| the table where JOe's man was dealing.
There was prejudice then against the
negro, and the dealer pushed the dar-
ky's money off the board. Again was
it placed back on card and a second
time the dealer pushed it off. The col
ored soldier picked it up from the floor
and called the dealer an OpprobriOuS
name. The dealer did not move, but
went Oh with his business. Fowler
arose from the table where he was,
walked over to his dealer, slapped him
and drew pistol on the soldier
like flash. How the darky did beg and
how Fowler did curse him! The devil
was up in the mans nature as he nerv-
OuSly fingered the trigger. But he was
sober, and cOntented himself with in
f1icting an ugly cash on the negro's
head and kicking him out with the
warning that if he or any other Sd
niger" ever came within his place
again he would kill him on sight. The
cOlored population gave Fowler's sa-
lOOll WlitS Utl IWdTuS.
A FIEND WHEN DRUNK.
But the break was coming. One day
Joe took drink. A dozen followed it,
and, in an hour, he was fiend incar-
nate. He ordered two men out of his
place, and, when they hesitated, he
jumped behind the bar, came out with
double-barreled shotgun, and they fled
for their lives. Then he took the street
and plaza it led to and for four hours
held it against all passers. One, more
adventurous than the others, attempted
to run the gauntlet, and, drawing his
pistol, walked towards the desperate
man. The shotgun cracked twice. The
fellow fell and lay there with dozen
buckshot holes in him, and no one dared
to go to his aid. The citizens met and
with arms sought to terrify Joe into
surrender. He didn't know what it was.
As quick as head would show around
either of the adobe corners the gun
would speak, and from the side pocket
of a capacious coat another shell would
be slipped in to take the empty place.
The bartender was in the saloon. If
the street and plaza were blockade to
all others he was in a state of siege.

out and talk to him. In reply the
