America No Longer the Asylum for All of
Adams Kin.

Adams Kin.
Once upon time James Russell
Lowell sang of America, "She whose
free iatchstring never was drawn in
against the poorest child of Adams
kin" says London paper. That was
true some years ago; it is not now
The laws against immigrants are at
present severe in the United States.
In too many cases the authorities
emulate Goldsmith's rude Carinthian
boor," who 'Painst the houseess
stranger shuts the door" Not only
are foreign philanthropists forbidden
to use the Republic as a refuge fer
their proteges, but no American en-
ployer can employ laborers under
contract. In this way America strives
to obtain the pick of European work
ingmen-the enterprising and indie
pendent emigrants who can pay their
own passage and have money to sup
port themselves for some time. But,
while New England has turned thus
inhospitable, Old England is still the
refuge of the oppressed and destitute
of every race. Our "latchstring" is
never drawn in" the poorest and
feeblest may pull it and open the door.
We are loath to change this attitude.
Apart from natural reluctance to bar
the gate, we remember that if we
suffer from the overflow of other ma
tionalities we ourselves have sent to
other lands many streams of population.
Had not America during the last fifty
years received millions of Irishmen,
the condition of that island would have
been deplorable. There we're in 1871
over eight millions of that people exist
ing on the brink of restitution, badly
housed, badly clad, living on potatoes,
and sometimes half starved, a ragged,
servile horde of landless peasants.
The emigration to America has given
TO five millions of Irishmen in the
States prosperity and comfort, and the
four millions and half in Ireland
have about ten times the wealth of the
eight millions of semi -paupers in 1841.
Had not America been ready to re-
ceive that surplus we should have on
our hands an Ireland so poor as to be-
come perpetual burden and a dis
grace. 1t, therefore, hardly becomes
the United Kingdom to object al o.
gether to alien immigrants. Too many
of her own children have found fortune

be made.
This craft, to which the party commit
themselves and their hopes for a period
of about four months, is bark built, but
barkentine rugged, and, though equipped
with all the sails vessel of her size can
possibly carry, she has an engine and
propeller. She relies chiefly on her can
vas, but the steam is useful in eXtri-
eating her from ice.
The Kites dimensions are III. feet
over all, 264 feet beam, and II feet
hold ITS tonnage is $50 gross and 100
net The engine is fifty horse power,
and being a vertical engine, the builder
was cnab ed to place it well aft. This
gives the propeller short crank shaft,
and lessons the liability to breakage.
Its normal speed is seven and a half
knots with steam, and with both sail
and steam fully nine knots. As pro.
lection against ice while running free
the Kites bows fifteen feet back are a
solid mass Of wood, the tmbers being
doyetaied together. A vertical strip Of
iron passes from the bowsprit down the
nose under the water line and some dis
lance along the keel. The iron is 4
inches wide and inch thick. Straps Of
iron 4 inches wide and II inches thick
are bound around the nose horizontally
to snub the ice. From the stern two
thirds of the way forward the sides are
doubly banked. Eoth sides down 10 the
keel forward are also doubly planked.
She has had plenty of experience among
the icebergs. Mr. Bowring, Of the ship
ping firm of Bowring Il Archibald Of
New York, the agents of the Kite, says
that if she hit an iceberg it would be a
very bad thing for the berg.
Whaicrs of this kind go north, loaded
to the gunwaleS with coal, and if they
are specially fortunate and catch their
whales quickly, they heave the coal
overheard TO make room for the oil.
The kite may bring back a whale or
two, but the plans of the party are to
make its geological prices much more
varied than those of n whaler. DR..

complexion has a stained, blotched
and unsightly appearance. With peo-
pie who take ammonia into their sys.
TENS in smaller doses, as with their
water or food, these striking symptoms
do not appear so soon. The only
effect of the poison that is visible for
time is a general unwholesomeness
and sallowDess of the complexion.
Many people are slowly absorbing
ammonia poison without knowing it.
The use of ammonia in the manufac-
lures has greatly increased of late, and
it is unquestionably used as an adulter-
ant in certain food preparations.
Official analyses have plainly shown
its use even in such cheap articles of
everyday consumption as baking pow
ders. The confined absorption of am
monia in even minute quantities as an
adulterant in food is injurious, not
merely from its effects upon the COM
plexion, but because it destroys the
coating of the stomach and causes
dyspepsia and kindred evils.
Professor Long, of Chicago, is au-
thority for the statement that if TO fifty
million parts of water there is one part
of ammonia the water is dangerous.

1he Red ans Bronco.

The toughness and strength Of the
pony can scarcely be exaggerated. He
will live through winter that will kill
the hardest cattle. He worries
through the long months when the
snow has covered up the bunch grass
on diet of cottonwood boughs, which
the Indian cuts down for him; and in
the spring il takes but q few weeks
for him to scour out into splendid con-
dition. He can go unheard of dis
tances.
Colonel r. I. Dodge records an in
stance coming under his observation
where a pony carried the mails 800
miles In three consecutive nights, and
back over the same road the next week,
and kept this up for six months with
out loss of condition. He can carry
any weight. Mr.. Parkman speaks of
a chief known as lie Cochon, on ac-
count of his 300 pounds avoirdupois,
who nevertheless rode his ponies as
bravely as man of half his bulk. The
pony has often carried two people as
one. There is simply no end to this
wonderful product of the prairies. He
works many years. SO long as he will
fatten up in the spring his age is i'm
material.
The absence of crest in the pony
suggests the curious query of what
has become of the proud arching neck
of his ancestors, the barb. There are
two ways of accounting for this. The
Indians. gag bit, invariably applied
with jerk, throws up the pony's head
instead of bringing it down, as the
slow and light application of the school
curb will do. and this tends to develop
the eve neck. Or a more sufficient
reason may be found in the fact that
the starvation which the pony under
goes in the winter months tends to de-
plete him of every superfuous ounce
of flesh. -BalUmOr american.

existence of a channel at this point, con
meeting the two oceans, is that a heavy
flow of water comes down the coast. 1t
comes, probably, from the Atlantic, be-
cause the tides can be identified as At
B lautic tides as opposed TO those Of the
Pacific.
Whether these 400 miles between
Greenland and the pole are filled in with
only frozen ocean broken up into an
impassable ice gorge, or whether there is
a chain Of islands giving tolerably easy
access to the pole is, of course, yet to be
determined.
Feary and his party will be alb @ 20 do
little but preparatory work during the
present year. The Kite will convey

Land, and they will 20 into winter quar-
tiers Immediately, where they will wait
until next summer for their great dash
Co the northern limits. They will de-
liberatcly get frozen in there for the
winter. All the expeditions which have
gone for the pole have met this fate, but
they have had the disadvantage Of being
in ships which were likely TO be "nipped"
aud sunk.
It will not be until next year, there
fore, that the fruits OF Pcary's explora-
tons can be placked.
With the IIeilprin party however, the
case is different. After depositing
Peary and his effects i'm the. most shell

banny little Kite will take to her heels

Considering their well-known ability

ises Of the Heilprn party are likely to
be wore diverse and interesting than
even those OF Peary. The region TO be
traverscd is very rich in animal life, and

Arsenic and Ammonia.

The slow absorption of many poisons
changes in some more or less modified
form the complexion, but arsenic and
ammonia show their effect about as
quickly as any. The popular belief
that arsenic clears the complexion has
led many silly women to kill them
selves with it in small, continued doses.
1t produces waxy, ivory-like APP
pearance of the skin during certain
stage of the poisoning. bat its terrible
after effects have become too well
known to make it of common use as a
cosmetic.
The effects of ammonia upon the
complexion are directly opposite to
that of arsenic. The first symptom of
ammonia poisoning which appears
among those who work in ammonia
factories is discoloration of the skin
of the nose and forehead. This gradu-
ally extends over the face until the

therefore, is one huge iceberg factory as
well as refrigerator which, with its
stock of millions upon millions of tons of
ice stored up for eternity, has tremen-
dous effect upon the temperature Of
everything within hundreds of miles of
it, and no doubt upon the climate of this
country.
Lieut. Peary gives the following brief
outline of his plans:
In July the party, numbering five or
Six will go into winter quarters at Whale
Sound, to make reconnaissance and lay
in supplies for the journey toward the
pole. Next spring an advance party
will be sent forward to establish de-
pots OF supplies, and the main party
