his wife and band of followers from arctic ice
fields will sail about the middle of June The
committee having the expedition in charge have
made the necessary arrangements with the
owners to charter the Kite and engage all the
old officers including Capt. Pike. who so sue
cessfully conducted the expedition of last wear.
The members OF the expedition, besides its
leader, Prof. Angelo Heilprin. will number
eight. or possibly nine men, most of whom have
been selected. although their names will be with
held from publication until day OF two before
departure
The exact day for the departure of the men,
bers of the expedition has not vet been def
nitely settled. but it will be about the middle of
June. not earlier than the 18th nor later than
the 18th. They will take passage in New York
for ST. Johns. Newfoundland, where they will
join the Kite at once. and as soon as possible
depart for the north waters.
The course of the Kite will probably be along
the eastern shores of Newfoundland to the
Straits of Belle Isle. thence along the rugged
coast Of Labrador for short distance, whence
they will take their departure across what il
known as the Greenland SEA. reaching the coast
of Greenland at near the port of Iyiptut

awakened by the rocking of their beds. and
many Of them believing that their houses were
about to fall rushed out in their night dresses
The movement lasted for several seconds. bu,
no damage Of any consequence has been re-
ported.

Making Wild Men.

There are many curious trades in
the world, but the most strange
must surely be the artificial man
ufacture of wild men," Yet we'll
known English doctor in China has
Just certified from his own personal
experience that this art is regularly
practiced in the Flowery Kingdom.
First youth is kidnapped, then
bit by bit he is fayed alive and the
skin of dog or bear is grated
piece by piece upon him. His vocal
chords are next destroyed by the
action of charcoal to make him
dumb, and the double purpose OF
"etiolation" of the skin and utter
degradation of the mental faculties
is effected by keeping him immured
in perfectly black hole for num-
Der Of years. In fact, by treating
him like brute for a sufficiently
long time he is made into one. AT
last he is exhibited to the entirely
credulous Chinese as a wild man OF
the woods, and his possessors reap
rich harvest. The priests, it seems,
are adopts at the art. When kid
napper, however, is caught by the
people he is torn to pieces, and when
the authorities get him they torture
him and promptly behead him.

Checking q Prevericator.

During Frederick Warde's early
struggles for recognition as star
he had many things to contend
with, particularly the incompetency
of his business staff, which were
not made of that material which
creates anxiety and curiosity on
the part of the public to witness the
efforts of the star. One of these
chaps, evidently believing that the
bigger the liar the larger the houses,
had bad faculty of exagerating.
Some of his statements were so
alarmingly distorted that Mr.. Warde
called him aside and said: "Why
don't you try and curb that horri-
BILE propensity of yours for lying1
When you happen to be in any
gathering with me your exaggera-
tions are so terrible as to become
painfully embarrassing to me-" He
promised to mend his ways and re-
quested Mr.. Warde to softly whistle
when he was going too far, and that
would check him. That night they
were honored with aparty of friends
and this chap was describing when
and where they stored their scenery
during their vacation. "Why," says
he, 1--WE have an enormous building

/. Altar Of Roses.

Altar of roses is generally spoken
of as the most extravagantly costly
perfume in the world, but when tho
trouble and expense Of raising the
roses and securing the essence is
taken into account it is really very
reasonable in price. If the delicious
perfume were produced in this
country and the lowest wages in the
land paid for labor it could not bo
retailed at even three times the ca
listing prices. Nearly all the altar
of roses in the world comes from
the portion of Europe which used
to be part of Turkey, but which is
now under Russian influence. To
secure pound Of essence it is nec-
essary to have an entire acre of
ground covered with roses. and to
have good crop even then, and
then the cultivators cannot rely on
receiving more than $40 or $75
pound.
The labor of cultivation is very
arduous, and plucking the roses is
|even more so, the work being done
by women, whose hands are torn
all to pieces by the work, and whose
pay barely suffices to buy food.
Roses have been cultivated in other
countries for similar purpose, but
the return is nowhere so large as in
the neighborhood of the Balkans,
where the soil and climate appear
exceptionally adapted for the pur-
pose. 1t may be added that the
sweet smell of genuine Turkish
cigarette is the result of adulterat-
ing the tobacco with the refuse from
the rosebuds and stalks.-Ex.
