An Iceland Winter.

VIM. H. Carpenter in Atlantic Monthly
BY November the winter had begun
with all its rigor, and fierce storms
swept over land and over the sea-
which lost its blue and became dull and
dark. One by one the ships left the
harbor Of Reykjavik; then the last mail
ship sailed, and Iceland was cut off un-
I'll spring from communication with the
outside world.
Although the climate Of South Iceland
is cold, the winter is scarcely what one
would be led to expect rom the north
ern situation. There is not much snow.
A few inches usually lay upon the
ground, crisp and hard, but not the
piled up drifts of a New England win
ter. Accordingly it WIS possible to
make horseback excursions to the farms
round about, and to see the winter life
of the people in the country. This
season for the Icelander is time
OF comparative rest AS nothing can
be done abroad he stays OF neces-
sity at home, but his life is no
mere Information. He sleeps q great
deal, for his house is insufficientlv
lighted and the nights are long, but by
daylight he has occupations enough.
He has boats to build and oars to shape;
saddles and harness to make and to
mend; or he sorts the wool which the
women spin into yarn and then knit in
to stockings, or weave into coarse home
spun or flannel, like uodmdl. A busy
sound of whirring wheels often greets
the ear when you enter the farmhouse,
and you find the women all at work at
one end of The long roo II. Another duty
deyOlVes on the heads of the household
at isolated farms. There are good
elementary schools in many places
throughout the island, but in remote
districts the children must be taught at
home. In summer the time is occupied
with out-of-dOor work, but in the COM
paratively idle days ofwInter the father,
or not inrequently the mother, teaches
the children of either sex the COM
mon branches. Iceland is perhaps the
best-educated community on the face of
the earth; throughout the length and
breadth of the land there is nobody
who cannot read and write, and the
general knowledge of some of these
obscure fisherman armers is sometimes
well-nIgh appalling.

Health suggestions.
From the Household.


The hot pastry and iced drinks Of this
country have much to do with the thin
ness of its people,
Disordered digestion in adults is often
the outcome of being compelled or in
duced to eat rich food in childhood.
Up. TO middle life most people are
careless regarding their physical con-
dltlun, hence persons who ought 10 live
long lives have their days Curtailed
1 he time to pay strict attention to the
bodily health is during the vigorous pOr-
ton OF life.
1t IS quite common practice to dose
infants with teas, oils and sweetened
waters when any real or imaginary i'll is
upon them. In some cases 1t is neces-
sary TO reinforce the natural supply of
nOurishment, but where possible, ma
lures cunt should be relied on chiefly.
For those who hurry TO and from
their meals soup is recommended as a
preparatory agent for the reception of
solid God For man to hurriedIy rush
to his meals and gulp down meat, veg
etables, and ple, without a short pause
o re- t for the stomach, is nearly akin to
suicide.
Toasting bread destroys the Yeast
germs and converts The starch into a sol
uble substance which S incapable of
fermentation. Dry toast will not sour
the stomach nor produce any discom-
fort, and is, therefore, more agreeable
to a weak digestion than any other
bread.
\ STOPPING position, maintained for
any length OF time, tends more to un-
dermine the health than is generally
supposed. An erect position should be
observed Whether sitting, sanding or
lying. To sit with the body leaning for
ward on the stomach, or to one side,
with the heels elevated on level with
the hands, is not only in bad taste, but
exceedingly detrimental to health; it
cramps the stomach, presses the vital
organs, interrupts the free motion of the
chest, and enfeebies the functions of the
abdominal and thoratic organs. and, in
fact, unbalances the whole muscular sys-
tenn.

4 Bogus Reformer.
= ~ u TN
From the Milwaukee, Wisconsin


1t is probably true that Grover Cleve-
land is the only president OF the United
States who has ever disgraced his office
by contributing money out of his own
pocket to help re-elect himself. We
have never seen the charge made
against any other president III any
newspaper, nor has such a rumOr been
current at any time when any president
has been candidate for reelection 1t
would be an act of questionable pro-
priety for a presidential candidate to
subscribe to a campaign fund before the
election; but when a man Is already in
the office its dignity and respecta bility
would forbid such an act on his part, as
we'll as his obligation to the public.
But Grover Cleveland, being a ere
former" and elected on the crv
turn the rascals out. is not so mucn
engrossed with the thoughts of the dig
nifty of the office as he is with a desire
to serve a second term. His contribu-
tion of 81 900 to secure his own cleo
ton looks very much like an effort to
buy the office. In bis first letter of ac-
certance he pledged himself to the
one-term principle, anu fortified his ar
gument with some very plausible cita-
tons of facts bearing on the subject,
among which was the statement that a
president in office and again a candi-
date would be likely TO abuse his trust
lor selfish and personal ends-precisely
what Cleveland i now doing.
Beside Cleveland has set himself up
as a civil service reformer, and the old
spoils svstem-we were told before his
eIection-was to have in him an honest
and vigilant antagonist. Well, the
meanest and most sordid and most self
ish exhibition Of the old spoils system
on record is cast entirely into the shade
by the degrading spectacle of man try
ing TO buy an office. 1t requires a nice
moral distinction to draw the line be-
tween buying votes and buying the Of
flee; and tie man who won q do the
one would not hesitate to do the other,
if he could.
"To the yictors belong the spoils' was
the old shibboleth of the Democracy, to
which Cleveland has added the ne \
one-'Let us make ourselves yictOrs
with money, if we can"
