I'm ARCTIC REGIONS.
A Famous Hunting Place for Polar Whales.
and Its Dangers.

ana ItS DdHStTss
From the northern part Of Hudson
bay, already arctic in character,
stretches far towards the pole deep
inlet, which some early navigator
of those desolate polar shores has
termed Roe's Welcome-as If any
thing within that ice-bound and
lonely coast could be welcome to a
person just from civilization! The
name, no doubt, was given in memo
ry of some escape from the drifting
ice packs, when the inlet furnished
refuge from one Of the fierce storms
of that polar region.
Roes Welcome is famous hunting
place for the great polar whale, or
"bowhead," as the sailors call it, says
st. Nicholas. This huge whale,
which is indeed immense in size,
often makes his home among the
great ice packs and ice fields of the
polar seas, and goodly quantity Of
these it finds in Roe's Welcome. But
these ice packs, swinging to and fro
with the tides, currents, and winds
in such a narrow inlet as this rem
der navigation dangerous even for
the stanch whale ships, and they
generally make their fishing grounds
off the lower mouth of the great in
let, where the cruising is much safer,
If not so profitable. Occasionally,
when some exceptionally good ice
master is in charge Of a whaler, he
dashes into the tter.6shing grounds
for short cruise; another, less skill
full, lured by brighter prospects or
discouraged by poor catch outside,
enters the inlet and either reaps a
rich harvest Of oil and bone or wrecks
his vessel. Or he may escape after
an Imprisonment in the grip of the
merciless ice letters for year or two
longer than he intended to stay.
Such was the fate of the good ship
Gladiator, from well-known whaling
port in Southeastern Massachusetts,.
She sailed to the northermost end OF
the welcome" as the sailors called
it, and after a most profitable catch
of "bowheads, had the i'll fortune &c
remain firmly bound in the ice for two
years. During this long time, much
longer than that for which the vessel
had provisioned, the crew were de-
pendenF on the many Eskimos who
clustered around the ship. The ma
tiyes supplied them with ample guam
titles of reindeer, musk OK, seal, anc
walrus meat, in return Tor SINAI
quantities of molasses and coffee
Their companionship, too, rude as i
was, did much to while away thu
dreary, lonely hours Of the two years
imprisonment.

building was removed in 1872.
Thus the city of New York
was the first capital of the United
States under the present constitu-
tion. New York was then the abode
OF Washington and Adams, Hamilton

As early as 1888 the site for ma
tional capital had been mooted, and
in 1890 1t was settled that the site
should be fixed on the banks Of the
Potomac. The next year Washington
selected the spot now bearing his

until Aug. 10, $780, and began the

They All Loved Flowers.

1t stood in a shabby neighborhood,
this house of which l write, but was
distinguished from others in the same
row by small projecting window
filed with growing plants. Standing
on the street in trent Of it was a
young woman with q baby on one
arm and a market-basket on the
other, gazing delightedly at the
flowers, while the child, not accus-
toned to such beauty and brightness,
was gazing with interest first at his
mother and then at the window.
Presently she passed on, and a group

and had reached the point of heat,
when one of them suddenly espied an
addition to the window in row OF
pots close against the glass, in which
scarlet flowers were blooming. "Say,
there are some more boomers, he
exclaimed, and five pairs of eyes were
riveted on the window, and the dis
cussion began as to whether the
flowers were "the kind the rich buffers
thought so much Of" NAV, it's

clared the largest boy, pointing to
chrysanthemum. Then they also
went away. Keeling from nearby
saloon, came a half-intoXicated man.
The bright colors caught his eye and
he came to swaying halt, catching
at the area railing beneath the win
dow. Some scene or phase OF life
was recalled to the half-benumbed
brain by the flowers in this unwonted
quarter; there was mental struggle
that became pathetic as he turned
unsteadily on his feet to go on his
way, shaking his head meurnfully
But the lesson taught by the cheer
full blossoms-the glimpse of the bet
ter things of life-may not have beer

open sesame to many hearts when al
else has failed to find entrance. This
window has its missions; and through
its silent influence the world about Il

Pub,,c Assistance.

The pauper population of the Uni
ted States is increasing. The census
shows that we not only had larger
number of paupers and delinqnents
generally in 1890 than in 1880 but
that the proportion of people who
had to be helped or in. some way TAX
en- care ofhas been increasing.
This is a melancholy. revelation,
and one which should set people to
thinking. We have had, as a whole,
times of plenty during the past ten
years. The lperiod has been one OF
generous expenditure of money for
public purposes. People who have
been unable to take care Of them
selves have not found it hard. in the
majority of our communities, 70 OBJ
tain public assistance.
Has it been too easy matter to
obtain this help? There are many
students and close observers OF this
subject who think 1t has.
The appetite for "help" OF some
Kind grows by what it feeds on. IL
one has got something without pay
ing or working for it, he demands
more on the same terms.
One who has had q. free ticket or
a railroad, or a free admission TO an
entertainment, never wishes to pay
again. 1t is precisely thus with the
more open and undisguised form OF
aims called public assistance.
The needy, incapable poor should
be well taken care of, but let us, as 9
people, beware of enfeebling ourselye:
by indiscriminate charity.

A new departure In the methods OF
Offering a public water supply was
recently devised for use In the City
OF Worms, Germany, and is now In
successful operation. The water for
this place is drawn from the Rhine
River, and was formerly filtered by
passing 1t through large beds OF sand.
Ii became necessary TO increase the
purifying capacity OF the plant, ow-
ing to the growth OF the city, and as
land was expensive, the superintend-
.ent of the works, DIR. 4. Fisher, ac-
cordlngly advised system of stone
slabs, formed by heating clean river
sand with a silicate of lime and soda,
which cemented the parts together,
through which the water filtered.
Each slab was 81 feet square and 4
inches thick, with a slight cavity on
one face. In order to use them an
area of about 1880 feet was parti-
toned of from the existing filter
bed by concret wall. On this area
978 of the stone slabs, having SUI
perficial extent OF over 10, 500 square
feet, were arranged vertically in
groups Of two stones, joined with
their recessed sides together and the
edges made water-tight. The slabs
are extremely porous; they are said
to absorb water like sponge, and the
filtration takes place by allowing the
water to run into the basin and sur
round the slabs. 1t then passes
through the stone to the hollow with
in, whence it is drained off to the
clear water reservoir and pumped to
the city. In case bacteria were to
lodge in the pores of the slabs, pipes
have, beeia so arranged that steam can
be injegted into the interior OF each
pair of stones, a method which the
authorities in charge Of the works
regard as highly efficaciou1 and mex
pensive. In this way engineers, not
nymphs, have answered the famous
query Of Coleridge:
But tell me nymphs! what power divine

Gigsley has often been told that he
was the meanest ,man in the world.
In fact, he has red-headed sister
and couldn't well escape being told
so, but many of his friends doubted
until he was married. They all be-
lieve it now. Mrs. Gigsley is one of
the dearest, loveliest, most innocent,
trusting, affectionate creatures that
ever longed for strong, manly bo-
som to rest upon. They were mar
ried two weeks ago, and, as Gigsley
doesn't believe in wedding tours, they
began housekeeping Immediately out
on the avenue. The second day of
their welded bliss had passed, and
Gigsley had just finished the supper,
which Mrs. G. had spent all the long,
torrld afternoon in preparing, when
he took his hat and cane, kissed the
little woman tenderly, and started
out for the door. "Why, Charley,
you aren't going out, are you?" said
the sweet creature, with tremor in
her voice. "Why-yes," was the
rather unconcerned reply. "And
leave me all alone?" A suspicious
moisture of the eyes accompanied
this appeal. "Oh, won't be gone
long" ne answered reassuringly. I'm
just going down town to get something

az rural housekeepers) to get girl,
no matter how inefficient and dis
qualified she may be, for the work OF
the house. She must be fed, clothed
and respected and her wages paid,
writes Mrs. Sherman In the North
American Review. She may break
crockery to any extent, often to that
OF thousands of dollars; she may
throw away sugar and flour and
meat and potatoes by bad cookery;
she may be insolent TO her mistress,
taking her own time for going out
day or evening; and she may badly
wash the fiannels and scorch the gen.

put up with IL, else the precious
creature will leave and the lady must
do her own work; or as a dressmaker
who bad badly cut some gowns for an
employer remarked, putting the frag-
ments in at the door: Here, finish
your gowns yourself" This is not
good political economy. The servant
should be taught moral obligation.
We must remember that there Is no
tyranny in a republic; there can be
none but the tyranny OF the masses.
And as the welfare OF the millions
is bound up in this question, as the
comfort and prosperity Of our great
estate must depend upon the indus
trial ability and honesty of those who
serve us for wages, it follows that the
first thing to teach servant Is a
sense of moral obligation. When we
take into consideration the early his
tory of those who come TO us as do
nestle servants, the marvel turns out
to be not that they are so deficient,
but that they are not more so. Look
at the poorer classes in the streets OF
Glasgow, for instance. We need not
cross to the adjacent kingdom. We
know all about "the pig and the pra-
ties" and really from Pig-and-Pratie-
dom come some of the best OF our
nurses and maids. No one who has
kept house a number of years but has
sprinkling of delicious and refresh
ing gratitude, in her Renaissance,
over some dear and faithful Biddy.
Their faults are those Of ignorance
and that double brain which is al
ways tripping itself up (the cause OF
the Irish bully, the impossibility OF a
clear comprehension Of the straight
road, blinking and being blinded by
their own wit, and their aimless, in
accurate absence Of logic. How much
could be done by giving these Norahs
the healthy and bracing influence OF
honest puritan training in New
England town! We all know what II

Ing interesting account OF a novel
travelling outfit now going through
Montana: "Vivian Edwards, Grip
pie from Hastings, Neb., is making
one of the most remarkable trips
across the country that was ever I'M
dertaken. His long journey started
at Hastings just 100 days ago, and
during that time he has Travelled ], 654
miles. He is cripple, having lost
the use OF his legs and travels In a
miniature buggy drawn by four-in-
hand OF milk-white Rocky Mountain
goats, and carries completereamping
outfit with him. The entire outfit
weighs $50 pounds. which the goats
pull with ease, and have made thirty
two miles in one day, although the
usual days journey averages from
twelve to sixteen miles, which dis
tance the goats accomplish with ease.
Some portions Of his trip have been
arduous in the extreme. Between
Hams Forks and Montpelier, in Wy
oming, he took the wrong road and
was lost in the desert, and for three
days suffered intensely for want of
water, as all the water himself and
animals had was what was contained
in beer bottle. Another time in
Southern Utah he was compelled to
fight three bears, who were deter
mined to dine off his four-in-hand,
but after a hard fight, during which
he killed two OF the bears, he was
enabled TO pursue his way.
Edwards is an intelligent fellow
and a pleasant talker and takes a
cheerful view of life. although al
most helpless. He is accompanied by
his wife and two little girls, one 4
and the other Z years of age. His
wife, who is graduate OF medicine,
takes copious notes of their trip
which will be utilized in writing a
book descriptive of the sights seer
during their remarkable journey
across the continent, their objective
point being San Francisco. Edwards
