The period'of putting on spectacles is
often long deferred by middle aged peo-
pie, who "hate to seem DID," or dislike
confessing to themselves that they have
reached one of the significant turning
points of life. People have, however,
different ways of accepting the newt
able. One charming woman, who has
passed this visual liuit, declares that
her comfort is thereby daily increased.
81 was always so lazy!' she says.
Nevertheless, had to do thousand
things hated. Now when go out for
an afternoon I can leave my glasses at
home, and so, when l am asked to look
at photographs, try new crochet stitch,
or read dear Mary AIMS last letter. l
can refuse with clear conscience. And
it is such rest of mind and saving of
tissue"
Another woman, and very pretty
one, owns to a bit of tacit deception in
wearing her cross.
81 try to put my glasses on with the
air of having always worn them, y she
confesses. 81 can't help hoping that
people will think me near sighted from
childhood"
But dear old gentleman, who can't
see without glasses, actually goes to the
length of declaring that he doesn't need
them at all. He proves the case by
standing at distance from print and
reading it without difficulty.
There's nothing the matter with my
eyes," he then explains humorously.

The New York World quotes the
following advertisement from the
Philadelphia Press:
Tinware is advancing in cost, and very
soon the manufacturers will have their
way and you and we will have to pay very
much more. In view of this state of
things we made some time since large
purchase of kitchen tinware at what was
a low price then, and would be far lower
now, in the face of two advances in ma
kers' price lists. This lot goes on sale to-
day at prices that will not be seen again
for long time to come.
Now, reader, whose advertisement
do you suppose this is? Some Dem
ocrat's who is trying to make a dol
lar out of the dear people by raising
prices on the strength of the McKin-
ley bill? 1t would be just like some
sordid Democrat who hadn't the fear
of truth before his eyes, wouldn't it!
Well, it isn't. 0 mol This is hon.

ment, President Harrison's sanity

Query for j. of BarnumviIle.

Since J. in the SITTER of April %,
expresses so much sorrow for good
women who desire the privilege of
voting on account of their being found
in the company of some of their poor
sisters who would also have the same
chance, does it follow that he will try
to free good men from voting because
statistics prove that the proportion of
bad women against bad men is to
10, and of drunken women against
drunken men is l to 80 ? While pris-
ons, and similar institutions, are
largely filed with men, and women
are found in the majority IN churches
all over the land. A.

ON THE ARCTIC CIRCLE.
Adventures of an Engiishman In tn
Frozen Regions of North America.

Adventures of an Englishman In the
Frozen Regions of North America.
WashburtSn Pike, an English ex-
plorer, has returned from the Arctic
circle. Leaving Calgary in June, 1889,
Mr.. Pike proceeded to Athabasca Land
ing, and from there to Fort Resolu-
ton, on Slave river Here he secured
the services of two Indian guides and
helpers and started for the barren
lands in search of musk OK, caribou and
other large game. He had very sue
cessful hunt, killing about forty musk
OK and as many caribou as they were
in position to handle. On that trip
Mr.. Pike went as far north as Fish
river, this being the river on which
Franklin's first expedition to the north
pole was lost. He experienced many
adventures. The party was lost for
fourteen days and endured terrible
sufferings. They started to cross the
Yukon range of mountains to the Pa
cific coast. After journeying for some
twelve days they found that instead of
being, as they supposed, on Mcleod
river, they were on what afterward
turned out to be the Nation. Here the
guides admitted they were lost, and
nothing remained for the party to do
but retrace their steps, which they did
with but enough provisions for few
days. In two days they were out of
food, and, to make a long story short,
they starved for fourteen days.
Mr.. Pike absolutely refuses to say
anything of their tortures during the
time, but many facts were CLEANED
from those who saw them on their re-
turn to the rapids, and were compelled
to feed them as they would baby.
As an example of the terrible state of
affairs, some hundreds of miles were
tramped with bare feet on ice, and
their frozen condition when rescued
was simply terrible, while some of the
party were SO reduced from cold and
hunger as to be totally helpless.
When asked to describe the barren
lands Mr.. Pike said that it was an i'm
mense tract of barren rock on which
grew kind of moss and shrub, on which
deer that run by thousands feed and
appear to be very fond of it.
There are numerous lakes among
rocky bluffs whose waters freeze in the
cold season to the depth of from seven
to nine feet. He reports temperatures
as low as 60 degs in the winter, but the
summer months, July and August he
says, are very hot. Six months during
the year the sun never shines on these
barren parts.
Mr.. Pike reports moose very scarce,
but says there are large numbers of
musk OK and thousands of caribou deer.
the latter taking to the woods in win
ter. Mr.. Pike is the only white man
who has ever trod the path of the
Franklin sufferers on the Fish river.
Travel during this trip was almost en-
tirely done on foot, dog trains being
used for the carrying of provisions and
wood. The currency is in skins. A
skin is valued at fifty cents.-Cor.

An Owl Is the Farmers Friend.

OF all birds, from the farmers stand
point, owls are the most useful. They
hunt silently and in the night, and are
nothing short of lynx eyed cats with
wings. The benefit they confer upon
agriculturists is most incalculable, and
is susceptible of preof. 1t is well known
that owls hunt by night; but it may be
less a matter of common knowledge that,
like other birds of prey, they return by
the mouth hard indigestible parts of the
food in the form of elongated pellets.
These are found in considerable quanti-
tits about the birds haunts, and an ex-
animation of them reveals the fact that
owls prey upon a number of predaceous
creatures, the destruction of which is
directly beneficial to man.
Of course the evidence gained in this
way is infallible, and to show to what
extent owls assist in preserving the bal
ance of nature it may be mentioned that
700 pellets examined yielded the remains
of bats, IS rats. 237 mice, 693 voles,
1880 shrews and % birds. These truly
remarkable results were obtained from
the common barn owl, and the remains
of the % birds were those of 10 sparrows,
l greenfnch and swifts. The tawny
and long cared owls of our woodlands
are also mighty hunters, and an exam
ination of their pellets shows equally in
teresting evidence.-Cornhill Magazine.

UNDER THE H'ARTHSTANE.

Brother, you bear your sorrow
With patience that passeth praise
The loss Of worldly possessions.
Just at your later daysl
How do you bear it?" the neighbor prayed
There's love meath the h'arthstane!" the
old man said.
''Oh, love Is good, grant you,
When seasoned enough with gold;
But love In cottage"-he shook his head
"Is rhyming that will not hold
Love only can never lift your load
OF sorrow and labor on life's late road"
"Ay, ayl" the old man answered,
His white head sturdily raised;
when ye hae lived a my lifetame
Yen cry, The Lord be prased!
Whether o. good or i'll shall IA
If Love meath the h'arthstane surviv-
eth APP
"But you and your wife," urged the neigh
bor-
"Your children under the sod'-
Nae under the sod" the old man cried,
Good neighbor-gane to Godl
An what hae we to do wi pain
When Love still glories the auld h'arth-
stane?"
"Your faith is past my knowing"
The neighbor murmured low,
A spirit of awe and wonder
On his face, as he rose to CO.
"Ah, friend" the old man answer made,
Love meath the h'arthstane is naught
afraid"

LOcusts as Food.

Diodorus Siculus, who lived about
60 B. c., described a tribe of locust
eaters in Ethiopia, who were accus-
toned to secure their yearly supply of
food by setting much combustible ma
terial aflre in valley when the swarms
of locusts passed over, so that they
were stihed by the smoke and fell to the
ground in vast numbers, to be subse-
quently gathered in heaps with salt and
so preserved. Owing to their peculiar
diet these people never lived to grow
old, being eaten up by maggots which
bred in their flesh. Locusts are much
used for food in Africa today Flights
of them are considered such blessing
by the natives in many parts that the
rain doctors are employed to fetch them
by their incantations. = Washington
