discussing Colonel elders plans for the pro-
posed expedition. Professor w. T. Trow-
bridge of Columbia College, Professor
Meyer of Stevens Institute and General
Greedy spoke in favor Of the prof ect, and
papers were read from Professor Schott aud
Professor j. G. Mendenhall OF the Coast
Survey expressing their approval Finally
the society promised to give Colonel Glider
Its hearty support.
Colonel Glider has also consulted with the
superintendent of the United States Coast
and Geodetic Survey concerning the pro-
posed expedition, and found that there also
his plans were approved. The department
will detail trained observer to accompany
his expedition, will provide two complete
sets Of magnetic instruments and give de-
tailed instructions for the method Of con-
Quoting observations. Il will train one or
more observers outside the Government
service that they may be thoroughly fitted
for the work. This settles at once the most
important features of the expedition, as it
is an assurance that 1t will be properly
equipped for making the magnetic o0serYa-
tons thorough and exact.
While the expedition will thus be under
the direct patronage of the Government the
expense will not fall upon the public
treasury. 1t is Colonel elders plan TO
equip the party with funds acquired by
private subscription, The total expenses
of the expedition will not be more than
$4,000 The party will consist Of seven
persons including Colonel Glider. Two
observers will be taken to represent the
Coast Survey, and one collegiau will go as
representative of the American Geographic
cal Society. Three sailors have been en-
gagged, all of whom have been on Arctic trips
before. A steam vessel will be hired Of the
same type as the Kite.
The party will leave New York in June
of next year and will proceed to Repulss
Bay through Hudson Strait and Fox Chan
nell The steamer will leave them with
three whaebOatS and stores enough 10 last
three years, and will return to New York.
The party will winter at Repulse Bay, and
in April, 1894, will start on sledge journey
across Boothia PrOmontory for Cape AIDE
laide. There q permanent house Will be
built.
ii the party meets with no mishap it Will
be ready to return to RepulSe Bay In the
fall of 1895, and in the spring of 1896 will be
brought home in the same steamer that is 10
take them up If it is found that the con-
templated observations can be completed
inside of the period designated the party
will be able 10 return to RepulSe Bay and
coast down Hudson Bay TO York Factory,
where the boats can be left and the COMPARE
lively short journey OF 700 miles made over
land to Manitoba. The magnetic pole Is
about 1900 miles south OF the true north pole.

Bismarck's school Certificate.

An interesting memento of Bismsrck's
schoOldays WAS first brought before the pub
lie few weeks ago. In 1882 he left the
Fray Frars' high school of Berlin at Easter
to prepare for the university. He was then
hardly II years old. yet he had led his
class of 90 students, whose average age was
10 for IS months. His special certificate
then was: Latin. good. fluent; Greek,
good: ancient history, very good; modern
history, good; mathematics, generally
good" HIS general certificate said: Ibis
knowledge OF Latin is good, both in COM
prehensNn Of writer's and foreibility OF COM
position. His knowledge OF Greek Is pretty
good. His knowledge of mathematics is fair.
He has very satisfactory skill in the use
of German. His knowledge of history,
geography and modern languages is fair.
He will study law and finance at Bonn, Gen.
eva and Berlin, and we dismiss this able,
well-equipped youth with our best wishes
and the hope that he will pursue further his
education with renewed energy"

Lack of time and instruments prevented
these two hardy travellers from making OBJ
servations while near the pole that might
have proved of great value to the world.
When Colonel Glider looked upon the
spot designated by Ross as the locality of
the pole, he determined that some time he
would return with a properly equipped
party to make a series of magnetic observa-
tions In tha neighborhood and to settle that
perplexing doubt. In the 10 years that
have elapsed since that time he has never
lost sight of his purpose. In his opinion
the time is now ripe for action. and the past
week has seen the first step taken toward
the fruitOn of his plans. Colonel Glider
has enlisted the interest of the National
Academy of Sciences. through its presi-
dent, Professor Marsh Of Yale College; OF
Chief Engineer Melville of the navy, Pro-
lessor G. A. Schott of the Coast and Geod-
etic Survey, General Greedy. chief signal
officer; Professor Newcomb, in charge of
the National Almanac, and number OF
other eminent scientists ami geographers.

A German was boasting in the pres
snce of some Russians about the obe-
Hence and discipline of the German
army, citing numerous instances from
he war between France and Germany.
Gentlemen, replied one of the
Russians, what you say about the dis
cipline in the German army amounts to
nothing at all when compared with
what occurs continually in the Russ ian
army. But | will merely recite one
Instance of what occurred at the be-
ginning of the reign of the Car Nicho-
las. when the discipline in the Russian
army was comparatively lax. At that
time, before the telegraph was discov-
cred, the Russians used signal stations,
which were a few miles apart. The
soldier made the signal which was re-
peated by the soldier at the next
station, and thus the news was convey
ed thousands of miles.
"One day a soldier at a station ne ar
St Petersburg did not see the signal in
time, and, dreading the punishment
that awaited him for negligence, de-
I iliberately hanged himself on the
signal tower The soldier at the mex
station mistook this for a signal, so he
deliberately but promptly hanged him
self also. In consequence of the dis
cipline which prevails in the Russian
army, next day it was discovered that
all the soldiers at the signal stations
from St Petersburg to Warsaw had
hanged themselves on their signal
I towers. Of course, a much stricter
discipline prevails at present and"
That will do" replied the German

The game of shadow buff differs very
materially from blind mans buff, but
it is equally as amusing. A large
piece of white linen should be fastened
neatly up at one end OF a roum, so
that it hangs smoothly. Buff mot

with his face to the linen, and lbIe,
on which is "a lighted candle, should be
placed about four or five feet behind
him, and the rest of lights extin-
guished. Buffy's playfellows next
pass in succession between the candle
and MIN, distorting their features in
as grosque a manner as possible
hopping limping and performing va
rious odd antics, so as to make their
shadow very unlike their usual looks.
Buffy must then try and guess to whom
the shadows belong. and il he guesses
correctly, the player whose shadow he
recognizes, takes his place. Buff is
allowed only one guess for each per-
son. and must not turn his head either

Modern Mummification.

the facts disclosed in the process a
unrolling a mummy present in striking
contrast the difference of the mode of
smbalming pursued by the ancient
Egyptian and that carried out in mod
ern times. Now the embalmer can
conduct in minutes preserving pro-
cess which cost the Egyptians as many
days, and if after his process is COM
pleted he should take pains to seal up
the preserved body with all the skill
possible TO modern art ne might leave
human body so perfect in regard to
natural form and color that after 5000
years not lineament need be wanting
| for its Identification that would not
| have satisfied even contemporary of
the dead person. We are inclined now
to experience regret that in Egyptian
times the art was not advanced enough
to leave the embalmed in such likeness
of life. But whether 1t is worth the
trouble in these days to revive the art,
in the more perfect type OF it, for the
edihcatiOn and satisfaction of the men
and women of thirty centuries hence,
! is a wide question. Cremation is, Mt
! this moment, becoming the fashion,
but possibly some persons would rather
be so immortalized and preserved for

LIVER COMPLAINT

The liver, the kidneys, the heart, the lungs
and the stomach are the most stimpoTtant organs
necessary for the preservation OF life. II Is
therefore the duty OF every me who cares at all
for his bodily health to keep them in as good
condition as possible. But while the heart, the
hnrs and the stomach IN an ordinary constitu-
ted person can endure a pretty severe abuse
without stopping In their work, the liver Is
yery sensitive organ. The least interrup-
ton IN its activity is noticed at once In
most disagreeable manner. Serious com
nlications may arise therefrOm, for which the
musicians have invented a large number
of long Latin names, and whtch, If not
attended to promptly, are followed by long
and painful diseases and frequently by
death. Ordinary people usually class all these
diseases under the general name OF
liver complaint. Their symptoms can be
easily recognized. 4 yellow color Of the
skin, particularly OF the white Of the eye,
a disarreeably bitter bilious taste In the
mouth a thickly coated tongue, loss OF appe
| tite, dislike for meats, combined With head
ache. light attacks of fever, etc. these are un
| falling signs that the liver is out oi order As
! soon as one or more of these symptoms appear
| Il Is n.ce Ssary, In order to prevent serious
| Sickness to remove from the liver all super
| huous bile and all waste matter, 10 promote
| the free circulation Of the blood, and To gently
stimulate the capriciOus appetite. There Is no
better remedy to accomplish this purpose than
| St Bernard Vegetable Pills, which have been
\ Justly celebrated for long time. They are
I prepared exclusively from the hest medicinal
\ herbs of the Alps, whose healing ingredients
= are made up by competent persons IN the form
\ Of pills without the the admiKtdre OF any min

"7Here's something behind itn
That's what you think, perhaps.
when YOU read that the proprietors
of DIR. Sage's Catarrh Remedy offer
$500 reward for an incurable case
of Catarrh. Rather unusual, YOU
think, to find the makers of a medi-
cine trying to prove that they be-
Iieve in it. "There must be some.
thing back of it'll"
But it's a plain, square offer, made
in good faith. The only thing that's
hack of it is the Remedy. It cures
Catarrh in the Head. To its mild,
soothing, cleansing and healing
properties, the worst cases yield,
, no matter how bad or of how long
standing. 1t has a record that
goes back for 25 years 1t doesn't
simply relieve it perfectly and
permanently cures. With a Rem
edy like this, the proprietors can
make such an offer and mean it.
To be sure there's risk in it, but
it's so very small that they are
willing to take it.
You've "never heard of anything
like this offer ?" True enough.
But then you've never heard Of
anything like DIR. Sago's Remedy.

The Old Ouestion-

a. not to touch the ground and be re-
volved in its a fact that both the top
and the bottom part revolve with
equal rapidity, but if the wheel be
placed on the ground and revolved 1t
must move forward. The top spokes
are thus revolving forward and are also
moving forward through space with
the forward movement of the hub. The
bottom spokes. on the contrary. are
revolving backward. The difference
between the velocity of the upper and
the lever spokes is, therefore, to be
measured by the absolute forward
