How to Get to the North Pole.
DR.. Fridj of Nansen, in the Forum.

DR.. Fridj of Nansen, in the Forum
We may seem fully entitled to draw
the conclusions that a current is con-
stantly running across the polar region
somewhere north of the Franz Josef
land from the sea north of the Siberian
coast and Behring strait, and into the
sea between Spitzbergen and Green
land. Since such current exists, the
most natural way of reaching the
north pole, or a point quite near it,
must be to enter the current on the
side where it runs northward, that is,
somewhere near the new Siberian Is
lands, and let it carry one straight
across those unknown regions which
has prevented so many from reaching.
l shall build wooden ship as small
and strong as possible; it shall be just
big enough to carry provisions for
twelve men for five years, besides the
necessary coal; a vessel of about 200
tons will suffice. The most important
feature of the ship will be that she
shall be built on such lines as will give
her the greatest power OF resistance to
the pressure of the foe ice. Her sides
must not be perpendicular, as those of
ships generally are, but must slope
from the bulwarks to the keel; or, to
use a sailors expression, her "dead
rise" must be made great, so that the
foes shall get no hold of her when they
are pressed together, but will glide
downward along her sides and under
her, thus tending TO lift her out of the
water. With this vessel and crew of
ten or twelve strong and well-picked
men, besides an equipment for five
years as good in all respects as modern
appliances can afford, I think the en-
terprise has good prospect of success.

"A Practical Suggestion.

One of the most practical suggestions
for service is that of the woman who
comes in to work "by the day." There
is very much more in this idea of daily
service, or of employing a woman who,
in common parlancc, "does days
work." than has ever been fully de
veloped. Washing aud scrubbing are,
at present, the principal duties of such
workers. But these, although they rep
resent the hardest labor, cover only a
small part of the daily house The
sweeping and dusling, the sewing, the
cooking, the dish. washing, the "clear-
ing up" (most interminable of tasks),
the mendiug and the chamber work
all these come into the home life and
into the line of houseke eper's duties.
All these have to be overlooked. Some
body has to see that they are well done,
often to do them. And the time and
the patience and the strength which go
into these "litle things" nobody but
the woman who does them knows.
Darning stockings, with the attendant
horrors of mt nding and sewing on OF
buttons, represents batch of work
which comes regularly every week to
be done, and is a sore trial to the
woman who longs for the time it takes
that she may give it to better things.
Yet she knows these tasks are neces-
sary, and that they must be accom-
plished for the comfort and well-being
of the family in her charge.
Now there must surely be plenty of
women who cannot d. finished or high
class work, yet to whom u ending and
stocking-darning, clearing up of rooms
and busting, would be light and agree
able work, women who, having ample
time, would be willing to do such i'm
portant yet trivial house-work for The
small sum of money the rvice is
worth. They need not be highly edu-
Gated or very young women; they need
only be willing, quick, and ready to do
well any and every uile which comes
up for some body to do. There are GER
tainly pie nty of places waiting for just
such workers. We hear much of the
women who are starving making shirts
at three cents apiece, and trousers at
five cents pair. The tales are too
well authenticat, to be doub ed. But
surely the work above suggested would
be easier, pleasanttr, and more profit
able to the women who are keeping
soul and body tog th-r on such a pit
lance as tha,.-Hd,per's Boar.

the law to protect cur homes, our fami
lies, our properly, our life y? Let me
say that we have no law at all, unles 8
we have men of righteousness behind
it TO enforce it. Not only so, but " hat
ever there is of just jurisprudence is
iouuueu upon lnt DlDle, which CurlS-
tianity has preserved to us.
The Bible is the foundation of all
good laws, and the pres, nee of Chris.
tianity in land is an inducement to
their enforcement and observance, and
the absence of Christianity an occasion
for their violation and notification.
Let history testify to this fact.
When France abolished Christianity
by vote, and declared there was 70 God
and forbade public instructors to utter
his name to the children, and struck the
Sabbath cut of the calendar, and made
the week TO consist of ten days instead
of seven, and wrote over the gates of
the cemete rits, death is an eternal
Sleep" and tore down the bells of the
church spires and cast them into can
non; when they Instituted the rites OF
the old pagan relig Ons whit re the affairs
had stood-hstorians tell us that the
distinctions of right and wrong were
COMPOUNDED, and il was not long before
the whole country was one huge fed
of rapine and of blood. The French
government now says to Meal, the
evangelist, that his mission stations
have proved better than police stations
in preserving order in France.
