Greenland Ice Sailing.

DR.. Nansen, the intrepid explorer J in
his account of his adventurous journey
across Greenland, tells howl his party
carried oil their stores ons two light
sledges drawn by hand. Each ,sledge
with its load weighed about 200 pounds.
On the inland ice, when theywind was
favorable, they could, by Rigging up
sails for the sledges out Of the wall pieces
and roofs of their tents, get their, loads
transported without labor,and sometimes
with great swiftness.
The explorer speaks withmuch ,enthu-
siasm of the Norwegian 'askis, (which
he wore on all his snow Journeys.
The "ski" is wooden f0otgeareight
feet long, three and three-fourth inches
wide at its broadcast part, cuEving upward
toward the front. The ''sA.ilober" puts
his toes into leather receptacle like the
fore part of boot, and buckles a strap
round the back of the heel, sallowing the
heel to rise freely.
With pair of ''skis"ehe can skid
over moderately firm snow.at the speed
of seven, eight or nine miles.an hour on
level ground, and fears not to rush down
steep hills with amazing swiftness or to-
perform amazing leaps.-Neao' York ']our-

HOUSEHOLD AFFAIRS.
HOW TO BOIL AN EGG.

''Ysn't it strange, " said short, foreign
looking man the other day to some COM
panions, while lunehing together at one
of the restaurants, "that not one cook in
fifty, nor housekeeper either, knows how
to boil an egga And yet most people
think they know this simple matter.
They will tell you to drop it into boiling
water and let it remain three minutes,
and to be sure the water is boiling. Hero
is where the mistake is made. An egg
SO prepared is indigestible and hardly
fit for well person, let alone one who is
sick, to eat. The moment it is plunged
into boiling water the white hardens and
toughens. To boil an egg properly, put
it in vessel, cover with cold water,
place over the fire and the second the
water begins to boil your egg is done.
The white is as delicate as jelly and as
easily digested and nutritious as it should
be. Try Chicago Tribune.

Florida Phosplate.Beds.

"The phosphate beds ofiFlorida have
since their discovery about one year ago
given employment to thilty-two millions
of capital And" continued Commits
sioner r. Turnbull, guest>of the Palmer
House from that State, -'many more
millions will be invested there before the
close of the present year. Moreover,
good, substantial returns are being had
on the money. Phosphate mining is not
like gold and silver mining-you don't
have to spend thousands of dollars be-
fore you learn where there is anything in
the ground worth digging for. The
phosphate lies in fiat beds, the top of
which is only few feet under ground,
and one man can in short time figure
pretty close to the actual amount of phos-
phate obtainable from any particular plot
of ground. So that an investor can put
in his money and be sure OF getting it
and something beside back. That is the
kind of State Florida is."-C Chicago

G.. L. Hamilton, of South Bend, Ind,
who is an extensive breeder of Short
horn cattle, in conversation with Star
Sayings reporter said: "The ages of
horned cattle may generally be known
by the rings on the horn till their tenth
year, but after that time they give no
indication of age further than that the
animal has passed its tenth year. The
first ring appears on the horn after the
animal is two years old-soon after, as a
general rule, though sometime before
that age.
During the third year the ring gradu-
ally increases, and at three years of age
it is completely formed. The second
ring appears during the fourth year, and
at the end of the fifth year it is COM
plete. After this period an additional
ring is formed each year. This rule is
sufficiently plain, and even young
farmer needs but little practice to enable
him to read a cows age on her horns.
The COW with three rings is six years
old, with four rings she is seven years
old. No new ring are formed after the
tenth year, the deeper rings, however,
and the worn appearance of the horns
are pretty sure indication of old age. >

Transactions at the stamp Exchange.

In Paris there is a stamp exchange
where transactions are carried on from Q
to 2 o'clock of every Thursday and Sun
day. 1t is the Champs Elysees, under
the chestnut trees at the corner of the
Avenue Marigny and the Avenue Gabri-
Ell, just behind the Guignols and in front
of an aristocratic mansion inhabited by
one of the Rothschilds. By 3 o'clock
the exchange is in full go, and all ages
and all conditions of society are repre-
sented. There is very little trading car
ried on at this petite bourse, most of the
transactions being buying and selling.
Men and boys, wearing saches slung by
a strap over their shoulder, and in which
postage stamps are piled like CONS in
the scrips of cashiers, shout what they
have to sell, their albums are looked
through, philatelistic papers read, dis
cussions held and bartering takes place
amid lively vociferations. NJ have sixty
blue Kopecks," "Who wants any 1872
Uruguays2" ''I will take 1873 Ceylons
at thirty centimes." ~ will sell 1862
Turks, paper peelings." "Who1l take

1849 presidents" "I have an emperor
with laurel and an emperor without
laurel" "How much for Columbians2"
"Who wants Cape of Good Hopes2"
"Here are 1900 for twenty-five cent
times" fellow cries. .'Show them,"
others shout, and then it is his turn to
detail the merchandise. Packets of or
binary stamps are usually sold without
being opened, but sometimes the buyer
unseals the envelope, then cries: "Thief!
black guard old cheat!" and the crowd
laughs heartily. Chicago Herald

"No More Settlers Wanted"


EDITOR TR1BUNE:- Not long since

to several gentlemen discussing the

above declaration. At first [ thought
the gentleman was merely joking, but
I soon discovered that he was in dead
earnest.

Why, there is an abundance of room

of Stevens county, and we would not

am an "old settler" in this county;
have experienced all the hardships
early settlers were forced to pass
through, and my most earnest wish
has been for all these long years to
see the county thoroughly settled by
an industrious class of hardy tillers of
the soil. To me the above declaration
seems purely selfish and not in keep
ing with the progressive spirit of the
age.
mo more settlers wanted!a Great
God, what is the man thinking Of?
Don't he know that more settlers
means higher prices for land, larger
and more populons villages, mdre bust
ness and a larger demand for farm
products?
If I could have my way about it
] would have farmer on every quart
or section Of land in Stevens county,
or on every half section, at most.
Then our county would be what Ma
trlre intended it to be, the garden of
the Northwest.
aNo more settlers wantedw Out
upon such idea, say I. The man who
holds such doctrine should emigrate
TO some other place than Stevens
county and give room to settlers who
believe in settling up and improving
our fair land. If all the farmers were

The editors of the state are prepar-
ing for a six days outing on the
shores of Lake Ripley, near Litchfield.
F. S. Verbeck, chairman of the COM
mittee on arrangements, of the state
editorial association, says that all
preparations have been completed for
an encampment on this lake, with the
exception of arranging the program.
The chairman stated that this was
little out of the regular order, but he
believed that it would meet the hearty
approval of the state association. It
will take the place of junketing
tour. The date fixed for the encamp-
ment is Aug. Is, and will continue
until the Doth. The editors and their
families are invited to attend. Tents
will be provided for the campers, and
special rates have been secured at the
Brightwood hotel on Lake Ripley.
The entire expense should not exceed
$40 for each person. Surely more
delightful place for the editorial en-
canlpment could not have been select.

Whip manufacturers are feeling
the scarcity of whalebone more than
any class of consumers. The nearest
to satisfactory substitute ever found
is featherbone, made from the quilts
of barnyard fowls, principally turkeys
and geese. Featherbone is very dur
able and elastic and is now being used
largely in the manufacture of whips
and thus far is the only substitute for
whalebone found thatc an supply the
want satisfactorily. Here is a pointer
for those who raise fowls: Save the
quilts from your turkeys, geese, ducks
and chickens. There's money in it.

In the TRIBUNE of july 18th. w

In the TRIBUNE Of July 18th, we
said:
ut would seem that there is sys-
tematic attempt on the part of certain
politicians to kill off Blaine as pres
idential candidate in 1892. Reports
of his mind having become impaired
and physically he is greatly enfeebled
have been sent broadcast throughout
the land. These reports are undoubt-
eddy sent out by Republican polite
JAMS who do not derire to see Mr..
Blaine nominated"
A Washington dispatch of the 25th
inst. says: "The truth in connection
with the repeated attacks upon Sec
rotary Blaine, by both Republican and
Democratic newspapers, is gradually
coming to the surface. There is little
doubt now that all the misleading
stories that have been printed about
Blaine being physical and mental
wreck emanate from his enemies in
the Republican party, aided and abet-
ted by the Democratic ghonls. It is
nothing more or less than conspiracy
to drive Blaine into an untimely grave.
The New York Sun in leading
editorial yesterday charged these
ghoulish newspaper attacks upon
Blaine to both Republican and Demo
cratic sources. Dana, in the most
cutting English, likened Blaine's enc
mics to the assassins of the Guiteu
stripe. Today Editor Hatton, of the
Washington Post takes similar
grounds. There is every indication
that both editors have keenly scented
the whole despicable conspircy."
