the usual license required by British law
for the privilege OF having male domestic
servants.
The first smal-bore rifles for the Ger.
man army were issued two weeks ago to
single battalion of guards, and the re-
suit OF their being practically tested was
regarded as satisfactory. 1t is said thai
Germany has already sufficient smoke
less powder in stock to last for the first
few months of a general war.
All the natives of Senegal, AMMAN and
New Caledonia at the Paris Exhibition
have been provided with frame houses
on the exhibition grounds, and an album
dant supply of warm garments and bed
clothing has been distributed among
them. They were beginning to complain
bitterly of the cold, and wished to be sent
home.
Count Herbert Bismarck, during his
supposed sojourn in England, secretly
went, it is stated, to Pieve Iii Cadore,
Italy, where he had an interview with
Sgnor Crispi. Count Herbert remained
there week in strict privacy. He had
three meetings with the Italian Prime
Minister, who was also very private in
his movements.
The strike of the Scottish schoolboys.
which began i'll Hawick, has spread to
Glasgow, Govan, Greenock, Port Glas.
Cow and other places in the west OF Scot
land, and also into Ayrshire and about
Aberdeen. The boys have formed regu-
lar labor-like parades, with banners ana
cries for Shorter hours" The strike
has also spread into England Tie other

Of Barnet, demanding abolition OF the

travelled. 1t was pitiable in the ex-
treme TO see their sufferings as they
so devotedly helped us along, many
of them up TO the very minute they
had TO be taken from the harness and
abandoned on the road. Our Eskimo
hunters made heroic efforts at hunt
ing, but the Arctic day was so short
and reindeer and musk-oxen so scarce
that in order TO give the poor dogs
any we often had to reduce our own
food-supply, which We cheerfully did.
AS they dropped out along the way,
we harnessed ourselves in their places
10 the sledge traces, and il was only
thus We were not compelled TO aban-
don important parts Of our load.
About the middle of February the
wolves began 10 trouble us, and al
though they killed four of our nearly
famished dogs at the very doors OF
our snow houses, we rather welcomed
the sight of them, as We knew their
presence indicated our nearness 10
the reindeer-hunting grounds OF the
Hudson Bay Eskimo, and that we
were therefore nearly home, and
might fall in with natives We knew ut
any time. In fact, the latter part Of
February we saw a kinnepetoo Eski-
mo, and from him got help to reach
our old home with our nineteen dogs,
all that was left of sixty, about two
thirds of that loss being purely from
starvation.

The Pleasure Of an Arrest in ST. Louis.

st. Louis il the only city / have ever
visited where il seemed like paying a
man a delicate tribute TO arrest him.
writes Bill Nye in the Chicago Tri-
bune. When you are arrested In NJ.
Louis you do not go reluctantly 10 the
nearest station by means Of the scruif
of your neck, through "A hooting and
madding crowd. but the policeman
who has arrested you sends in sig
nal from the nearest box. and directly,
as the English put it, or right away,
as the American has it, a beautiful,
silver-mounted droska. or Rise-up-
William Riley and-come-aloDg-with
me phaeton, drawn by gaily capari-
soned and neighing steeds, dashes up
TO the curb, driven by an Olive street
gondolier You bound lightly into
the beautifully hecked chariot, a tiny
silver gong about the size Of a rail
way time table tingles gaily, and
away you go, arousing the envy and
admiration Of those who have never
been under arrest.
But how, asks the keen and pun
gent reader, can st. Louis afford 10
do this, while in a city like New York
the criminal must either walk or fore
go the joys Of arrest entirely. The
answer is simple. Here the criminal
pays $3.50 for an arrest which be used
to get at SO. This pays his droska
hire and makes his arrest something
to look back to with pleasure. Peo-
pie who yield to the police and be
come arrested from time 10 time do
not care for the expense. Mostly they
refer the expense TO a place which
should be alluded 10 very sparingly
in Sunday paper. And 80 ss-5odon't
bother them at all They pay IL II
they have il, and IL they do not an op-
portunity is given them TO earn il
later on at some sort OF skilled labor,
like pounding sand. This makes the
arrest an ornament 10 the city, and
the gentlemanly criminal, or misde
msanant obligato, pays for 1t, thus
contributing to his own comfort and
making his arrest an ovation and q
delicate tribute to himself which the
papers can use and which will read
well in a scrap book when forked oyeI
/ to future generations
