A SEVERE CLIMATE,
Some OF tho DIseomforts Attending Travel
In Greenland.

Some OF tho Di0eomforts Attending Travel
In Greenland.
Everyone knows that winter in
Greenland Is cold season; but it is
pretty late in the fall" all the year
round in that part of the world. Here
is description of a September day
taken from THE First Crossing of
Greenland
On the morning of September fourth
the weather was glorious and the air
still. There had been a light fall OF
snow in the night. The sun shone over
the infinitely monotonous snow field,
which. rising almost imperceptibly,
stretched away and away in front of US
like one huge white carpet, glitterin9
with diamonds, soft and fine in texture
as down, and laid in long, gentle unduA
lations which the eye could scarcely fol-
low.
But in the afternoon the aspect of our
landscape changed entirely. A biting
wind got mp from the northwest which
drove the snow before it in one over
whelming whirlwind. The sky then
cleared completely and the weather
grew colder.
The wind increased in strength. it
it, and we had to be careful not to get
badly frozen.
First my nose hardened, but dis
covered this in time to save it by rub
bling it well with snow. thought my
self safe now, but then felt a queer,
chilly feeling under my chin, where I
found that my throat was quite numb
and stiff. By more rubbing, and wrap
ping some mittens and other things
around my neck, put matters straight
there.
But then came the worst attack of all,
as the wind found its way in through
my clothes in the region of my stomach.
and gave rise to terrible pains. This
was met by the use OF soft felt hat
as chest protector, and 1 was now
armed at all points. My companions
suffered as did, and the bodily COM
forts Of our tent were more welcome
than usual that evening.

PECULIAR STONES.
A Theory Respecting the ''SchalensteInes'
OF Switzerland.

Theory Respecting the ''SchalensteInes''
OF Switzerland.
In many parts of Switzerland smooth,
fiat stones, evidently hand-polished, are
often picked up, says the st. Louis Re-
public. They are covered with lines,
dots, circles and half circles, and are
known to the Switzers as "schalen.
stcines." The origin and use of these
stones have long been a tnooted point
among the learned. Some have thought
that they were charms, others that they
were meant to commemorate the dead.
The characters upon them have long
since been declared to be undeciphera-
BILE hieroglyphics, but it has been re-
served for Herr Rodiger, of Bcllach, to
suggest theory that comes anyways
near explaining their true origin and
use. The schalensteines, he says, are
Typographical charts, as a comparison
of them with any modern map of the
district in which they may be found
will show. The engraved dots CORE
spond with existing towns and villages,
the lines with the ,,roads. Even the
forks and the mountain passes are indi-
Gated with precision that is truly sur
prising. Herr Rodiger has examined
many OF these stones from variousp arts
OF Switzerland, Italy and Austria, and
is sure that they are rude outline maps
of the country in which they are found.
He has large collection of them in his
possession, which, taken collectively,
form n most accurate map of Solathurn,
the canton in which majority of them
were picked up Another significant
and curious fact concerning the schalen-
steines is that they are found most
plentiful at intervals of about six miles,
and usually at places where roads cross
or fork.

Easily Caught.

When the Republi can State Con-
vention of California met at Stockton,
last week, there WAS determined
feeling among IA large number of dele
gates in favor of denouncing the
Southern Pacific railroad for it's out
rageous freight charges to and from
the East, and to encourage, in every
possible way, the building of a rival
road to San Francisco. But when
the delegation met in Masonic Hall
they found every chair occupied by
the delegates marked rs. P" This
compliment (not to the understanding
but to the understanding of the dele
gates) completely captured them.
But when they had adjourned and
learned that the letters IS. P" did
not represent the Southern Pacific at
all, but simply meant "Stockton Pa
vilion," they grew wild with anger.
Many OF the members swore roundly
at the mystic letters IS. P" as hav-
ing been designedly placed there to
mislead the Convention as to the
duties demanded of it by the people.

RHODE ISLANDS POSITION.

Commenting on the lesson OF
Rhode Island, the Troy Telegram
(Rep.) finds that sin four years, on
strict contest Of sharply defined
economic principles, the normal Re-
publican margin in this little State
has ebbed over one half away" And
1T says: "There is very ready and
obvious explanation for this New
England decrease in Republican
strength, if the party would only be
frank enough to accept it. 1t has no
connection, as some assert, With the
currency question, for in that section
Democrats and Republicans sink par
ty lines 10 their advocacy of hottest
money. The difficulty all points to a
tariff whose schedules, oblivious to
the great industrial progress OF the
past ten years, persist in treating as
newly born infants industries that
long since became able to shift for
themselves under system OF protec-
ton that, while guaranteeing re-
munerative employment to labor,
would not encourage trusts, combines
nor other devious commercial ramifi
cations of plutocratic rule. 1t is diff
ficult, of course, for the old-liHe party
organs to see the truth, or, seeing it,
to find courage to tell it. But a few
more lessons such as the Republican
party had in 1890. and as it is now re-
ceiving in Rhode Island, Massachu-
sets and the Northwest, will open it's
eyes to the reason why, as Mr.. Reed
says, it is so grotesque that it shoHld
have to fight to hold what used to
be its undisputed own."-[New York

LITTLE ETHEL MAY WATSON.
Another grateful mother is Mrs. Henry Fry,
who resides at Flint Place, South Boston.

terribly from st. Vitus Dance, an alarming
nervous affection, but by the same marvellous
remedy. her child has also been restored to
perfect health.
Hers Il what she says.
My daughter, twelve years old, became
affected with st. Vitus Dance. / at once
placed her under the care of physicians at the
Boston Dispensary, where she was treated for
three months. She grew worse until she en-
tircly lost her speech, and the right arm be-
came useless. l tried other remedies without
benefit.
Finally began the use Of DR.. Greene's
Nervura blood and nerve remedy, and before
finishing one bottle she could talk. She has
now used six bottles and she talks as well as
ever, has perfect use Of her arm, and Is won-
derfully improved In all respects.
"The effects OF this wonderful medicine in
her case has excited great interest in many
neighbors and friends who are acquainted
with the facts"
With such evidence Of the marvellous pow
er to cure disease that DIR. Greene's Nervura
blood and nerve remedy possesses, no mother
who regards the welfare Of her child will
hesitate for an instant to give 1t this great
medicine. cure is sure. The remedy can
be got at the druggists and is purely vegetable
and perfectly harmless to give to children of
any age. 1t is the prescription and discovery
Of DR.. Greene Of "a Temple Place, Boston,

Gus and chronic diseases, who can be consult

The Beautiful Child Of a Well

Startling and Alarming Condition Sud-

The most beautiful and lovable thing on
earth Is little child; is 1t any wonder that
the heart aches hardest when the little
one, the brightest star in the worlds orna-

ease.
All can therefore understand the bitter and
heart-fe grief OF Mrs. Fl. II. Watson of 1853
Bloomingdale St., Worcester, Mass. when
her darling little four-year-old child, a child
of most singular sweetness and beauty, was
seized with severe and serious nervous dis
ease, and parents alone can appreciate the
depth of her Joy and thankfulness when the
little idol of her heart was suddenly snatched
back from the grave, as 1t were, after doctors
and friends had given up all hope.
We will let the happy mother tell the story.
my little daughter. Ethel May, was terri
bly, and alarmingly sick. She had twenty
six convulsions in two years. Her nerves were
very weak, her appetite very bad; she could
not sleep at nights, her limbs would draw up,
and she suffered, oh, so much! She was as
yellow as saffron. and weak and delicate.
sour local doctors gave her up, saying she
could not be cured.
"But thanks TO q wonder full medicine she
is now perfectly well and healthy. This rem
edy is DIR. Greene's Neryura blood and nerve
remedy, and 1t has completely cured my little
girl"
