kingsbuIy said: In the opinion of the
leaders of the two government survey
parties sent into Alaska. the result of
the work has been most satisfactorv
The object of the expedition has been
TO definitely establish the northeastern
boundaries of Alaska, about which
there was a difference of British and
American opinion. Lieut.. Frederick
Schwatka had made running survey
along the l4lSt parallel for this govern
ment and Surveyor Ogilvic for the Brit
ish government, but there was differ
cnce of three miles in their establish
mcnt of the northeastern boundary line.
Our camp was situated at the intersec-
tion OF the 14lst parallel with
the Yukon river, and the
result of our work has been to confirm
the Ogilvie survey, which gives the
United States three miles more terri
tory along the northeastern boundary
line of Alaska than il was supposed TO
have. OF course, it will require a long
time for Surveyor McGrath to get his
official report ready, and it will prob
ably not bc made for two years follow

REVEALED IN a TRANCE.
a Kansas Wei That Produces Ancient
Vases and Hcdicinai Waters

a Kansas Wei That Troducrs Ancient
Vases and Medicinal Waters
An old soldier in Rash county of the
name of Scrgt. Henry Embree had a
well dug. At the depth of twenty feet
he found well-preServed vases and artl-
cles of earthenware. which he now
keeps as memento of past ages. Rush
county is in western Kansas. in the
treeless part of the state. and has been,
as far as the memory of man reaches,
desert. Speculation is rife over the
discovery, and many theories are adj
vanced to account for the existence OF
these articles in this place Some con-
slider the spot a primcval burying place
of an ancient semi-civiliZed race, which
occupied the land when it was capable
of supporting a population
During the process of digging, says
the New York Times, curious condi-
ton of the soil and rock was observed.
The soil was very hard and of a honey
combed nature, while the rock was soft
limestone, mingled with large amount
of some yellow material, mineral,
which closely resembled gold Some of
the mineral was taken to a chemist,
who found it impossible to get any
chemical reactions from it. His opin-
covered
The well now has several feet of
water in it which is claimed to possess
wonderful medicinal properties. Anum-
Der OF persons suffering from chronic
ailments have been using it both inter
nally and externally, and all are lavish
in their praises Of its healing powers. 1t
is certain that there have been some re-
Il. in rh,s short time that
the water has been used
One peculiarity of this water is that
it changes regularly both its physical
condition and its healing properties. In
the morning hours the water is as clear
as CRYSTAL almost ice-cold, of bitter
taste and covered with a thin sheet of
apparently golden oil. At such times
the water is found to be best suited to
the treatment of nervous affections. At
the approach of the meridian hour the
water becomes very much agitated and
suddenly almost disappears. After the
water has reached its normal height
again, about o'clock p. m, it is found
TO be entirely different in nature. II is
then oily. of swectiSh taste, and Mt n
temperature almost hot Following this
mysterious change the water is said TO
be most effective in diseases of the
blood.
Sergt. Embree. who is known as a re-
ligious enthusiast. claims the well to be
of supernatural origin, and breaches
that it i the opening up of a new dis
pensation. and that he i endowed with
supcrhuman powers. He calls himself
the servant of Gods elect and the
prince of the everlasting covenant" He
has quietly gathered about him quite a
following, men and women who affect
to believe his preachings- He says that
the place of the well was revealed to
him in u trance.

SANDING" SLIPPERS.
\ Practice of the Gallant BeauH at u
>e.si..c Resort.

Practice of the Gallant Beaux at "A
Seaside Resort.
Probably there is no beach on the At
Iantic coast where you will see prettier
toilcrIcs than here, says Spring Lake
letter in the New York World. The
girls are either heiresses or very recll-
less. for day after day they appear in
the sand in white silk dresses, beauti-
fully made. with white chiffon sun
shades. white hats, white kid gloves
and white suede slippers.
Pretty is no name for them; they are
irresistible. BY way of variety they
wear white null and white organdy,
cut low in the neck, with their snowy
arms cleaning through the sleeves, and
thcu they are angelic, and fellow can
no more help making love 10 them than
the sea dogs can help dancing with the
mermaids in the ocean minuet.
Al these white girls are good walk
ers and with them no doubt originated
the slippcr-sanding practice. No girl in
a pair of low shoes can walk fivc-hun-
dred feet on the beach without getting
them filed with sand. At first the
sweet creatures dropped and did the un-
loading themselves. Then some bold
but gallant youth said:
''Shan't l sand your slippers, Miss
Molly?'
And before there was time for a re-
fuSal he was on his knees with the laces
Of the little shoe open and the slipper
half off. He did it so quickly and sc
nicely that the girl was delighted
and he repeated the operation every
few rods.
The news spread, and now no girl
who knows the comfort of having heI
shoes sardcd every five minutes will
take a second stroll along the beach
with . man ignorant of seaside conven-

NO NEED OF CHURCH.
Sermons Supplied by Telephone by an

Sermons Supplied by Telephone by an
EnterprisinG Lnglish Company.
The attempt to connect the pulpit of
Christ church, Birmingham. England.
with the telephone system is not suf-
fered to become a mere barren expert
ment. The telephone company has
lately perfected the arrangements, and
is now supplying oral sermons at pri-
vate residences on rather extensive
scale. Naturally, says the Chicago
Herald, it is the bed-riddcn and the
sick who most appreciate the advan-
tage of being able to hear preacher
without attending service. a dozen
yards or so of loose, flexible cord is at
tached to the ordinary receiver and a
special U-shaped instrument supplied
to fix on the head, with an ear box for
each ear. Thus provided it is possible,
il is said, for the sick to hear comforta-
bly, while in bed. In quiet room the
tolling of bell can be heard half an
hour before services; the prayers can
be followed, the responses emphasized
and every word of the sermon distIn-
guished; while solos in the anthems are,
we are assured, heard as distinctly as
if one stood next the singer. Even
casual cough among the audience Is
distinguished. There is stated to be
lady at Smallheath who has been bed
ridden for three years, and whose spir-
itual wants are thus supplied; another
at Edgbaston, who has not been able to
attend church for seven years; and in
the Birmingham jewelry district there
are a dozen watchmen who, being on
duty every Sunday, could never hear a
sermon except in this fashion. Twenty
four calls, representing, it is calculated,
some sixty subscribers, are stated to
have been received at the telephone
office from Christ church one night last
week and similar number IN the
morning. Subscribers in Manchester,
Nottingham, London, Coventry, Stat
ford, Wolverhampton and Worcester
have also availed themselves of this op-
portunity of being supplied with a
spoken sermon at n trifiing cost.

Her Buzzing Saved Her.

A tramp made a big mistake the 9TH
er day at Wicasset, says Maine ex-
change. He entered schoolhouse
there where little miss of the
genuine Yankee stamp presided. There
was moment of alarm, for the school
house was upon bleak hillside far
from neighbors- The tramp approached
the teachers desk, evidently liking the
looks of her watch. The spunky little
schoolma'a am came at him like a hornet
and buzzed around him with her whip
dealing MISUNDERSTANDING strokes with
the weapon The tramp made a few
vain efforts to advance or to catch his
nimble antagonist; then, blinded and
maddened by the flying whip, he turned
and strealled it ont of doors and down
the hill He stood afar off and shouted
ugly epithets at his vanquisher. but
kept away from the whip.

ARMS OF THE CITY OF PARIS.
Agitation on Foot to Have the Fleur-de-
Lys Displaced.

Agitation on Foot TO Have the Fleur-de-
Lys Displaced
One of the members of the municipal
council Is endeavoring to get up an agi-
tation for the removal of the fleurs-de
lys from the arms of the city of Paris,
which consist of a ship of ancient build
sailing on a river, and surmounted by
fieurs-de-lys, with the motto: 'Fluctuat
nee mcrgitur." 1t is, however, doubt
full whether the member in question
will succeed in getting public opinion
round to the idea that the eviction OF
the fieurs-de-lys, which figured 50 con-
spicuOusly on the arms of the kings of
France, is essential to the dignity of
the metropolis in these republican days,
says the London Telegraph; vet one
precedent at least might be found, for
the first Napoleon replaced the royal
fleurs- de-lys by the imperial bees; and
during the second empire Baron Hauss-
mann, when prefect of the Seine, had
serious idea of suggesting their restora-
tion. As a matter of fact, if the fieurs-
de-lys were eliminated from the arms of
Paris, and the example became con-
tagious, the municipalities of many
other cities in France would he puzzled
Sorely, for the fieurs-de-Iys abound on
most of their blazons, to the exclusion,
in many cases, of any other symbol.
The proposition, however, is already
encountering ridicule, and the sugges-
tion is made in one quarter that if the
heurs-de-lys are removed the ancient
ship ought to be replaced by some mod
ern craft, such as torpedo boat; while
another mocker asks why the Eiffel
tower should not symbolic the city of
Paris. The radical councillor, to be
strictly logical, should have agitated for
the complete abolition of one of the
-c-;ties of feudal times.

great deal OF dispute and discussion has
arisen about these two articles, the

February, 1854, signed by the imperial

wished the coat and hat to be placed as

KISSERS OF CANNES.
What Sensible People Think of Their RI
pulsivc Practice.

What Sensible People Think of Their Re-
pulsive Practice.
A scientist has discovered a new dis
ease which he calls by the name of
echinoocccus, and which he says is
bred in man by the kiss of dog"
This is blunder, writes the Woman
About Town, in the New York Evening
Sun. Men are not in the habit of let
ting dogs kiss them. Nor are women.
But there is a certain hybrid creature
that is given to 1t. This creature has
the appearance of a woman without one
of the healthy instincts of her sex. In
stead of a baby she cuddles frowsy, fat,
wheezing, vicious dog, and instead of
the kisses of a child's sweet, wholesome
mouth she coaXes for the kisses of this
nasty little beast. Upon her soul, The
Woman does not know a more repelling
thing than this. 4 few days ago she
was the unwilling witness to this scene.
An awfully pretty girl sat in a wicker
chair on the veranda of her summer
home. Near her on the step sat an aw-
fully nice boy Just old enough to be Sc
riously disgusted with her behavior. On
her lap she had mite of toy spaniel
on which she lavished an extravaganza
of affection that would have flooded
the soul of a six-foot man with bliss,
with some left over She kissed the
wretchcd scrap of dogenelty over and
over and begged Bonbon to kiss her,
holding his muzzle up to her pretty lips
and kissing it again and again. Now,
if that nice boy had offered himself as
n substitute for the dog the girl would
have been highly scandalized and would
very likely have walked off and told
her brother and have made several peo-
pie very unhappy. Fortunately the boy
had better taste and better sense than
the girl Il wouldn't kiss that poodle
girl for one hundred dollars he said,
afterward, in supreme disgust. Neither
would any other man who had any
sense of his own dignity.
But the point of this isn't that no man
will want to kiss a woman who kisses
her dog. The point is that no fastidious,
right-minded woman would want to kiss
a dog any more than she would want TO
kiss a cat or a rat or a chicken. There
is a sense of sanctity in herself that
makes the true woman. In the case of
this young girl she probably thought
that she was being coquettish and
piquing the young fellow with a care
less display of 'endearment in which he
had no share. But she was only repel-
ling him and teaching him that some
girls weren't half fastidious abou.
some things as some boys.
