hcy frequent Long Inlet Stretching Far
North from Hudson's bay.
From the northern part of Hudson's
Bay already arctic in character,
stretches far toward the pole a deep
Inlet, which some early navigator Of
those desolate polar shores has termed
Roe's Welcomes ifanything within
that e-bound and lonely coast could

&lllzatlon! The name was no dou bt given
/ In memory of some escape from the
drifting lce-packs, when the inlet fur
nlshed refuge from one of the fierce
storms OF that polar -region.
Roe's Welcome is famed hunting

oowhead,' as the whalers call it, This
huge whale, which is, indeed, immense

profitable. Occasionally, when some
exceptionally good ice master is in
charge OF whaler he dashes into the
better fishing ground for short cruise;
another less skillful, lured by the
brighter prospects or discouraged by a
poor catch outside, enters the inlet and
either reaps rich harvest of oil and
bone or wrecks his vessel Or he may
even escape after an Imprisonment in
the grip of the merciless ice-fetters for
year or two longer than he had in
tended to stay.
Such was the fate of the good ship
'Gladiator," from a well-known whal-
ing port in southeastern Massachusetts
She sailed to the northernmost end of
the "Welcome," as the whalers call it,
and, after a most profitable catch of
"bowheads," had the ill-fortune to re-
main firmly bound in the ice for two
years. During this long time, much
longer than that for which the vessel
had been provisioned. the crew were
dependent on the many Eskimos who
clustered around the ship The natives
supplied them with ample quantities of
reindeer, musk-oS, sea and walrus
meat in return for small quantities of
molasses and coffee. Their companion
ship. too, rude as it was. did much to
while away the dreary, lonely hours of
the two years imprisonment. - st.

THE TOMCOD

\ Dainty Morsel tor the Breakfast or
Lunch Table.
Were I asked to name the daintiest
tldblt OF the fnny tribe to be had at this
season of the year, I would unhesita-
tingly name the innocent tomcod of the
Atlantic as the most deserving of the
distinction.
lrealize the fact that the green smelt
IS possessed of excellent gustatory
points, but its peculiar flavor causes
one to tire of it much the same as we
lose all desire for the clam with the
seasonable introduction of the oyster.
1t is not so with the merry tomcod. In.
stead of becoming surfeited. one ham
kers more and more for the microcadus
tom tit, until the habit so fastens itself
on one that it is with difficulty shaken
off.

be cleaned the day they are caught. A
little salt should be rubbed on the in
side, and the fish pnt away for at least
six hours before they are cooked; then
cook them in pork fat
They are more of breakfast and
luncheon fish than dinner fish: still
there is'no good reason why they should
not be served at dainty club dinners
when terrapin, duck and heavy Joints

THE LOVE OF CHILDREN.
Are Parents Right in worshipins 1hei,
Own OffSnrinp

Are Parents Right in Worshipins Their
Own Offspring.
The fact that SO many of us, like Mr..
Wegg, decline and fall pretty steadily
through life, tells for pessimism, but it
is still overbalanced by the optimistic
sign given us in the spiritual height
from which some of us start; and this
sign is none the less impressive for be.
ing so mysterious. I do not allow nv.
self to be cast down because these angel
faces are often borne by babies who
need spanking much oftener than they
are likely to get it, for there is a great
deal in the richest ore besides gold: but
admit it is sadly depressing to see so
many children who give little sign Of a
birthright of grace. How can anyone
declare he adores the m in lump, after
the sentimental manner, when the very
infant in arms SO often shows a soul
sickening, self-evident likeness to an
aggressive, stupid father or a sharp,
vulgar little fool of a mother? Still T
believe the case is not so bad as it looks
to the casual but sensitive observer. A
wise woman tells me that is not the
sheer fatality of folly that enchants
people with the most unprepossessing
young one when it happens to be their
own, but that truly it is only its own
family who can really know a baby'e
charms, and it is her belief that If We
could have all the evidence before us
in even the most unaccountable case,
we should see that the worshipers were
wiser than the scoffing world.
We all know that the tiresome brat
can present wonderfully appealing as
pects-say when only the little back is
seen, and its sleepy wee head has fallen
trustfully on grown-up shoulder.
Science may account for the pull the
sight makes on your heart-strings, but
in some way, after you have duly in
formed yourself as TO the evolution Of
the emotions, it is still apt in expert
ence, like childhood's on gaze, to carry
tidings to your deeper, perhaps all but
unconscious, self Of precious undiseov-
cred possessions and kinships in the
universal sources -yiols Rosebora in
Century.

Ne0tnes6 in Girls.

Neatness is good thing for a girl
and il she does not learn it when she is
young she never will. 1t takes a great
deal more neatness to make girl look
we'll than it does to make a boy look
passable. Not because boy, to start
with, is better looking than a girl, but
his clothes are of different sort, not so
many colors in them; and people don't
expect boy to look so pretty as girl
A girl that is not neatly dressed is
called sloven. and no one likes to look
at her. Her face may be pretty, and
her eyes bright, but if there's a spot of
dirt on her cheek, and her fingers ends
are black with ink, and her shoes are
not laced or buttoned-up, and her apron
is dirty. and her collar is not buttoned,
and her skirt is torn, she cannot be
liked. Learn to be neat, and when you
have learned it it will almost take care
of itself. Free Press,

The new French muslins daintilv

The diaphanous fabric is wide enough
to reach from waist to feet, with a deep

the figure, all fullness being kept we'll

patterns the muslin is exquisitely col

How to Cheek immigration.

The Bureau Of immigration reports the
arrival in the United States of 579,663 i'm
migrants during the fiscal year endsd June
30, 1892, an increase over former years.
This increase is accounted for by the alb
normal immigration resulting from the un-
Fortunate conditions in Russia. The greet
influx ceased some SIX months since. and
The number of incomers from Russia has
now assumed something like its usual pro-
portion.
The Secretary of the Treasury recon-
nends an increase of the head tax and as a
means 10 determine what this tax should
be. suggests that the sum should be such
"a will eaualize, at least approximately
The cost to the immigrants to reach south
american countries--it appearing that
many immigrants come TO the United
States who would az lief go TO South
America could they get there as cheapiy
rs 10 the United States.
We are inclined 10 distrust the honesty
IF the intention of the Republican party
with respect to this matter. Not few OF
their newspaper organs are known 10 De
opposed 10 immigration, because of their
belief that the immigration agent lis
recruiting sergeant for the Democratic
party" Something, however. must be
done 10 protect us from cholera. 1t would
be better that we should put a temporary
embargo upon all communication with
lands beyond the seas than that cholera
should get a foothold upon orr shores.
Better that we should suffer the loss OF
foreign trade for years than suffer tho loss
Of thousands and thousands of precious
lives.
If by excluding for year or two what IS
known as the dangerous class-the steer
hge passeugers-we can ward of the
cholera. we shall be fully justified in con-
tinuing that eXpedlent. If that be deemed
insuff lent to protect US. we should go a
step farther and allow no passenger to
land who has not perfectly clean health
record That we have the right-that, in
deed. It is our duty-to guard the public
health against oil corners who may get us
into trouble. nobody will deny; but after we
lave done that we should pause and waruy
examine all Republican projects.
The subject is enCompassed with diff
oulties: but il Is clear that the present
duty Of Congress is to keep on. the cholera,
which may he expected TO resppear, and
perhaps with greater violence than ever,
In many parts Of Europe next spring. This
we may do as a sanitary measure and with
out committing ourselves to any general
scheme for the permanent regulation of
Immigration.
II will be time enough for that when the
presidency and both houses of Congress
are IL the hands of the Democratic party.

The Force Bill Did It.

There ought not to be a doubt upon the
mind of ANYBODY that the force bill was
the thing that turned the tide in New
York in the direction of Mr.. CLEVELAND
and made his election not only possible
but unpreventable. If that bill had not
been foollshy championed by the Re
publicans there would not have been any
occasion 10 oppose IL in New York. The
force bill was the bridge over which the
wise Democratic leaders of New York and
the country led 1ammauy Hall into the
ranks OF the CLEVELAND Democracy. One
of those leaders says
"The central and decisive cause OF the Demo-
cratic victory in tho South, In New YORK, and In
Connecticut was the force bill II was the force
bin that prevented a division Of the Democracy
into hostile economic wings, unified it, ard car
ried It 70 glorious success
The force bill not only constituted, to
use WENDELL PHILLIPs's words, the golden
bridge" over which Tammany marched
In its search for tho true Democracy,
but constituted also the highway
along which Third~party Democrats
and People's-party Democrats in the
South marched back into the Democratic
ranks
But all this does not argue that the tariff
must be left untouched. In the North
west. and no doubt in New England, the
war upon the MCKINLEY tariff greatly
strengthened the Democrats and con-
tributed much to the crushing defeat
which overlook the champions of protec-
ton. But let us be wise enough not to
throw away our victory.

his children will las far as they ara able In
view Of the trust created) undertake by
some great gift to public uses to establish
q memorial TO him-to him who was very
dear to them, no matter how obnoxious he
was 10 the general public.
There is one community at least which
holds Mr.. GoULD In grateful memory. As
heretofore related in these columns. at
the time Of the yellow-fever epidemic in
Memphis, IN 1876. he opened wide his purse
to the sick and distressed. He sent the
authorities $1,000 by telegraph and told
them 10 keep up the patchwork until he
said stop. Now the Memphians propose
70 hold mass-meeting to paas resolutions
of respect 10 HIS memory. Mr.. GOULD
also acted the part OF q friend TO MAURICE
Il, FLYES's widow. FLYSS died much in
volved in pecuniary troubles, and it was
chiefly through Mr.. GoUID that her hus-
bands interests in the Richmond street.
railway properties were preserved. For
that purpose he employed lawyer in New
York and sent him TO this city to appear
In behalf Of the FLYNN estate, and in other
ways he gave Mrs FLYNN very substantial
help at time when it was sorely needed.
While incidents such as these do not
prove tnat Mr.. GouLp was good man. or
that his life was well spent or that he was
very liberal IN the use of his abundant
wealth. they should at least be remem-
bered as something of set-off TO the dis
creditable things charged against him.
