There is a proposition afoot to re-
move the whole popnDation of Ice
land, numbering about $4,000, to the
most habitable part of Alaska. Life
in Iceland is growing harder from
year to year. and if the people and
the Danish government agreed, there
is no doubt that the colonists would
be benefited by the change. They
would find their new conditions sim
liar to the old, but an improvement,
and as an educated, industrious and
we'll disposed people they would
make good citizens and push the de-
velopment of Alaska.

The Way the South Speaks for Herself.

The is no new South. 1t is the old
south revived, coming up from the
heaviest load that ever crushed and
weighed down a civilized people. If
by the term new south they mean a
new land and a new people, we do
not like it, for this is the same land,
and upon it dwell the same people, a
little older and a little wiser, who in
the old time furnished brilliant and
solid statesmen, and drew from the
soil the finest crops nature and culti-
vation furnished. They were of the
best and most vigorous blood sent
from the old world, and before the
war they reared fine cities. made
roads, improved the soil and cult
waited intellectual and social graces.

Lifting a Chair With the Eyelids,

Bombay Letter In the Cleveland Leader
saw two women jugglers at Jeypore. They
were bright, intelligent-looking girls, one OF
whom appeared almost old enough to be the
mother Of the other. They did many wonder
full things, one of which was mixing up sand in
water and then, putting the hand into the dis
colored fluid, they brought handful of sand,
which they filtered through their
fingers as dry as before it went
in. The youngest Of these girls was
perhaps fifteen. She was tall, well-formed
and fne-Iooking. She had bracelets on arms
and on feet, and her eyes were as beautiful as
those of a gazelle. One OF her tricks was the
lifting OF heavy chair by her eyelids, the
thought OF which almost makes my ewes sore.
The chair was a heavy mahogany one, which
belonged to the room in which was stay.
ing. She tied two strong strings to the
top Of this and affixed the ends of these
strings to her eyes by little round metal cups,
each about the size Of a nickel. These fitted
over the eyebalis and under the lids, and she
bent over while they were SO fastened. Rails
ing herself she pulled up the chair with these
strings with the muscles Of her eyelids, and
carried It from one side Of the room to the
other. 1t was horrible sight, and as she took
the metal cups from her eyes they filed with
water, and she almost sank to the floor. I told
her the trick was disgusting, and that She
ought never to try IL again. Still, for this and
the rest OF the show these girls were well salts

CHICAGO's STEEL SHIP YARD.
An Outline of the Plans of the Company
by Mr.. Potter.

CHICAGO, July 80. W. Potter of the nli-
nois steel company said yesterday concerning
the proposed ship yard for Chicago: 1.-The
Illinois steel company does aim at diversity
of product and does hope to aid in the con-
struction Of steel ships in Chicago, but our
plans have not taken shape yet. Mr.. Morse
has been east attending to the negotiations,
and on his return he will tell You just what has
been accomplished But the Minnesota iron
company has not appointed any man to super
intend the work here. We haven't got so far
along as that. The company is in shape to
ship 1000. 600 tons of ore year. and as most of
the ore goes to the east 1t is shipped by water
to Lake Erie ports. 1t needs large ships to
carry this ore and it mas concluded that it must
have them We think these vessels might as
well be built in Chicago in Detroit or Cleve-
land. and the yard will probably be located at
South Chicago"

The Dread Of Night Air.
From the Sanitary World.

rrou the SANITARY World.
An extraordinary fallacy is the dread of night
air. What air can We breathe at night but
night air? The choice is between pure night
air from without and foul air from within.
Most people prefer the latter-an unaccount-
able choice. What will they say if it is proved
to be true that fully one-half of all the diseases
we suffer from are occasioned by people sleep
ing with their windows shut An open window
most nights in the year can never hurt any
one. In great cities night air is often the best
and purest to be had in twenty-four hours.
One could better understand shutting the win
dows in town during the day than during the
night for the sake Of the sick. The absence of
smoke, the quiet, all tend to make the night
the best time for airing the patient One of
the highest medical authorities on consumption
and climate has told me that the air of London
is never SO good as after 10 o'clock at night.
Always air your room, then, from the outside

LEBANON, OHIO, July 1s.-Many wild rumors
continually spring up as to the progress Of the
committee who are investigating Auditor Ora

skipped to Canada last Saturday. At first it was
