Arctic Exploration.

1t will be remembered that DR.. Nam
sen, the Norwegian explorer, was wholly
successful in his enterprise of leading a
party across Greenland two years ago.
They made the journey on skis, or snow
runners, from the east coast to the Dan
ish settlements on Batfin's Bay.
Now it is reported that the Norwegian
National Assembly has voted an appro-
priation to fit out another expedition
this time for the North Pole A specially
constructed boat of 10 tons burthen is
to be built, and manned by crew of 10
or 10 men under the command of DIR.
Nansen. Provisions and fuel enough
for five years will be taken, although it
is hoped that two years will be all that
is needed for making the trip. 1t is
proposed to leave Norway in February,
1892
The general plan of the expedition is
to find, at some point north of Europe or
Asia, a current that shall carry the ves-
sci through open water past the North
Pole to the west coast of Greenland. II
is believed that the currents and the
open water will be found along the pro-
posed line This belief is founded chiefly

A Great Panther Hunter.

Bombonnei, a famous Algerian panther
hunter, who died lately at an age which
seemed to indicate that panther hunt
ing was not so dangerous an occupation
as some others, left behind him some
curious studies into the nature of a
hunters sensation. According to his
view, great part of the hunters ex-
citement and emotion is in the anticipa-
ton of sport or danger. When the
actual moment comes not much re-
mains but to shoot, and the better hunter
one is-the more deadly his aim and the
more complete his knowledge of the
game-the more certain he is to kill or
wound fatally at the first shot. And
then the sport" is all over
The hunter, for instance, fastens kid
to tree OF a stake, and, stationing him
self under cover close by, awaits his
lion, his tiger, or his panther Possibly
hours go by before the game appears.
Meantime the hunter is anticipating its
arrival. He notes that the wind has
died down, and that his own position
is favorable to escape the animals scent.
Will the game, not being hungry. scorn
his bait, and blunder upon the hunter?
Will he suspect treachery, and take to
flight, leaving no chance for shot?
Presently the hunter detects certain
signs, in the cries of birds or the move.
ment of other animals, that large game
is near. His heart beats faster. Then
come more positive calculations about
the shot. From which direction will the
game come? If it approaches from
directly in front, head on to the hunter,
what sort of shot shall he give it? If
the first shot misses
Suddenly his reflections are inter-
rupted. His heart thumps violently.
The tiger is upon the bait The time for
thinking has gone by, and the time for
action has come.
Crack! The rifle shot rings out, and the
animal leaps into the air. to fall dead 1t
is all over, and the only danger was to
the tiger. That is what one gets for
being dead shot!
According to NJ. Bombonnel, the chief
danger in African or Asiatic hunting of
large game is to the native assistants.
He recounts several cases in which faith
full Arabs have been killed or shockingly
lacerated.

CONFIRMING WOMEN.


An ting N Attack, but Ou" coat in
ne, just Il Grain of HUN.
A contributor to one of tlie crrrent
mig Zin :, with singular lack "f gal
lantry, AYERS that TIE average W oman is
in puI lie 'ruch more inn "Iitc !itl the
averag man. Starting witu ih.s ;S>er-
ton. he en ar ,e5 on the lack OF cOnSl-
eratlrn di7pld dyej by the Women in Shops,
on tie sidewalk. a,.d in public convey
ances, with such iucidity and co-ency
that tie reader, However reluctant, is
forced to the conclu-ion that h. is right.
OF course the accusation can apply to the
average woman only, for everybody
knows that considerable portion of the
sex are invariably rs car full of he rights
of Others a5 they are of their own. This
common heedlcsSness is not without its
causes.
Men are to great extent .ependent
on one another Zach of them knows
that if he puts him elf forward unduly at
the expense of bis neighbor the chances
are that he will be made to pay for
it sooner or later in more or less disa-
greeable manner. Women, on the con-
trary. are dependent on their husbands
and friends, but wholly independent of
the crowd of strangers or acquaintances
with whom they may happen to be thrown
in their excursions abroad Moreover,
they have been taught to expect defer
ence from all men, and when in the
hurry of the moment this is neglected
they feel unreasonably aggrieved. They
are unable to distinguish between the
business quarter of town and their own
drawing rooms
So they push and struggle and weary
clerks in crowded shops, board crowded
horse cars with the expectation that some
man will yield up his seat, seek to be
first served at the ticket offices of theaters
and railway stations, block up sidewalks
and passages along which others wish to
pass, fail to keep engage ,nents, and in a
hundred different ways show that they
are unmindful of the convenience of
others. To crown all, they are contin-
ually on the lookout for fancied Sights
which they never fail to resent if it is
possible to do So Women in public show
their worst side. and it is safe to say that
not one in ten realizes the figure she cuts.
If she did she would become as deferen-
tial as the most Chesterfeldian among
her male relatives. 1t is mainly through
ignorance that she errs, and doubtless a
little wholesome agitation of the ques-
ton will lead to an abatement of what
does not fall far short of being a public
nuisance. = Albany journal.

The Aspjrinr Girl of To-Day

She is bright and ambitious; she looks
out at the workers in the world and
thinks that if she were among them she
would make a great success, and that
reward Of fame-money-would come
to her in plenty.
But, ought you to go? May not the
life work for you be in the home? May
not the reward of industry be sense of
duty done, and the love Of those around
you? We are all too prone to accept
these rewards as commonplace, and
only what should come to us, whereas
they are, my dear girls, the brightest
jewels that shine in the crown
of woman. Look at home.
On the work that is waiting for you
there Do not underestimate its value.
Whatever it is, do it with willing heart
and quick hand. Think it your pleasure
to do it well. Make it your delight to be
so successful that the home people will
praise you. And if sometimes you give a
thought to the big gay world, where each
is for herself and God for ALL be ashamed
of the sigh that you give, remembering
that you are working where God thinks
it best for you to do so; and that you
only merit displeasure when you scorn
your work, or do it as do those who
think eve service of value Don't, don't,
dear girl, rush away from your home.
Think it all out first and see where
mother needs you. Then, after all, you
get better reward than any other
worker, for you receive the blessing of
God and the loving thanks of a mother.
