1t is seldom man of talent declines
a high position worth the salary attached
of 100000 year, or, strictly stated, ESQ.,
800 rupees. Such, however, is the peculiar
attitude of Sir Henry Wylie Norman, who
is now Governor of Queensland, with a
salary of only S25, coo year. He has been
offered the governor-generalship of India,
where the best years of his life have been
passed, and he actually finds reasons to
refuse consent. This is An appoin tment
seldom offered to a military man. but in
Sir Henry N0rman's case his qualifications
are more those of the civilian than the SOL

He was for eight years military secretary
TO the Government of India. and was also
for number OF years a member of the
Supreme Executive Council. No one can
be more thoroughly conversant with East
Indian affairs, aud he has shown high Ca
pacity as Governor of Jamaica and Queens
land. Perhaps Sir Henry, who has still
much work in him. does not care to face
the new problems of governing India.

arises on how far any one may be exoner-

done so, knowing his condition. There
was NC doubt that both were sincerely at

Another Polar Expedition.

Mrs. Peary, of Arctic fame, says the
San Francisco Examiner, is not to
have a monopoly of Polar celebrity
among her sex. Another lady will
share the perils of the high latitudes
il the company of her husband. Mrs.
Peary's rival is the wife Of Fridtjof
Nansen, the Norwegian explorer, who
sailed the other day from Christina,
bound to the Pole, or at least to the
nearest approachable point to the de-
sired goal. Mrs. Nansen is clever
and highly educated lady, who shares
her husbands enthusiasm in the cause
of exploration. She is great student
of Arctic literature, and has in many
ways assisted her husband in the
preparations for the long voyage.
The ship in which Nansen sails is an
interesting piece of naval architec-
ture. She is build of wood, but. of
strength never hitherto aimed at. The
frame timbers, Nansen modestly says,
may be said to be well seasoned, Tor
though cut from the gnarled oaks OF
Italy, they have been stored in a Nor
wegian dockyard during the whole
lifetime of the explorer. These tim
bers-the ribs of the ship-are foot
thick, and ale placed only two inches
apart, the intervening spaces being
filled with a special composition, so
that even the skeleton OF the ship
would be water tight should the planks
be stripped off. Inside the walls are
lined with pitch-pine plsnks, al
ternately four inches and eight
inches thick, with supports to
resist pressure in every direc-
ton. Outside, there is a three
inch skin of oak, carefully calked and
made water tight, then covered by an
other skin OF oak four inches thick,
which in turn is incased in still
thicker layer of the hard and slippery
greenheart. Bow and stern are heavily
plated with iron to cut through thin
ice. Finally, to render her fit for llv-
ing in during the coolest weather the
water tight compartment set apart Tor

walls and ceiling, with layers OF non
conducting material. Tarred canvas,
cork, wood, several inches of felt in

where Indians might be educated WAS
suggested many old Indian fighters
laughed at it. They declared it was
impossible to teach an Indian any
thing except to steal and make war
upon those he thought his interiors in
power. Time has proved the wisdom
of the originstors of the idea, as 2S9
prosperous Indian schools throughout
the United States testify. The Indian
boys and girls have been found fully
as apt in their studies as white chill
dren. In some branches of study they
are said to be much superior to white
children of the same age. This is said
to be especially true in regard to
writing, spelling and drawing. In
primary arithmetic the white child is
said to average better than the Indian.
"Indian children" says Superinten-
dent Charles Meserve, ''are very easy
to teach. Their first years work is
superior to that of the average white
child. The Indian labors under dis
advantage, too, in that he has to learn
the English language in addition to
his other duties. Their whole time is
not given to the school-room, but the
day is equally divided, half being to
the school-room and half to the work.
shop"
The ground floor of the building is
divided into series of rooms in which
are shown the different grades of work
done by the Indian scholars. In the
north end is the school-room. Here
every day at stated hours classes go
through their lessons as though they
were at school. The primary grade
has an hours work, then the inter-
mediate and higher grades in their
turn. Exercises in arithmetic, writ
ing and history are left on the black
boards, so that the visitor who comes
too late to see class at work can have
an idea of what has been done. A
specimen of work that had evidently
been done out OF school hours was on
the blackboard yesterday. One ofthe
young Indians had drawn likeness OF
q man who was probably one OF his
ancestors. It was lifelike sketch OF
IN Indian in full war toggery, with
turkey feathers in his hair and yellow
war paint on his cheeks. The boy who
drew it had a good idea of proportion,
although his efforts may have been
slightly misdirected.

O. series of pen sketches giving
Pollock's idea of tho Indian, past,
present and future. The past is shown
by the figure of an Indian in war paint,
wearing buckskin legginss and
mounted on half-tamed mustang.
He has reined up his horse before his
tepee and is shading his eyes with his
hand as he looks out at the horizon.
The second picture shows young
Indian standing at an anvil in the act
of striking red-hot piece of metal
with q sledgehammer. A school house
forms part of this sketch. The
artists idea of the future is exemplifed
in his sketch OF well-dressed red man
depositing a ballot. Young Pollock is
still engaged in his studies, begun IN
the Haskell Institute ut Lawrence,

The first Indian school was estah-
lished in Philadelphia by Mrs. Mary
McHenry Cox. Shortly after the close
of the war, Mrs. Cox built school
which she endowed for the purpose OF
making it training school for the
orphans of the war of the rebellion.
Several years after the school was
built the State of Pennsylvania made
an appropriation for the same purpose.
This rendered Mrs. CoX's school un-
necessary and she readily accepted the
suggestion that it he changed into n
training school for Indians. Much
trouble was experienced at first in get
ting Indian children to attend, but
after a time all difficulties we're over
come and the school was put into sue
cessful operation. 1t is said to be the

Costume of the Poor Arab.

They all dress alike-Arabs, Berbers,
Moors and the rest. Item: One "biled
rag"-not the billed rag of the wild and
and woolly West, but piece Of cotton
cloth actually sewed up bag-fashion,
with holes cut in it for head and arms,
now and then affording the luxury OF
short sleeves; and which under no cir
cumstances whatever is "biled' until
age has withered and custom stalled it
into actual rags. Item: If Eel-to-do
asleeveless buttoned vest. Item: Real
"bags," to adopt our young hunting
swell's term, for trousers. Satorially
speaking, these are made of cotton, and
are literally like bag, whose depth is
equal to little more than the distance
from waist to knee, and whose width
equals thrice the distance a man can
stretch apart his legs. Cut out the two
corners of the bottom of the bag, step
through the holes, and gather up the
mouth round the waist, and you have
the Plymouth Rock pants du pays.
There is thus left pendent between the
Arabs legs bag big enough to hide
himself in. The origin or utility OF
this leg-gear it were vain to inquire.
Item: One scarf to go a number OF
times around the waist. Item If cold,
al additional shirtlike garment of wool
len goods coming down below the knees.
Item: One burnoose of white or IN
Tunis blue woolen goods, with very
roomy hood, exceeding loose 80 as to
wrap about one and throw over the
shoulder. Item: One fez, with some
cotton cloth twisted, rope-fashion, to
wrap round it into Tie guise OF tur-
ban. Item: One pair of shoes, from
woven rushes to Morocco leather. In
this dress, or SO much of it as he can
afford, the native lives day and night,
from early manhood to old age. When
he dies he is buried IL it, or the dress
goes to his son and heir. A very few

clothing from France, England, per
chance America. More is the pity. 1t

tumes.-Harper's Magazine.

Neat or Vegetable Diet In Hot Weather !

No one answer will give true re-
ply to this question which is brought
up each year in hot weather. The
reason is found in the difference OF the
individuals and the difference in thei1
occupations. If these two things are
fully taken into consideration, it will
at once be seen that no one decision
will do for all people. AS the wear is,
SO must the repair be, and as food is
the source of materials for bodily re-
pair, then in that food must be found
such substances and in such quantities
as will thoroughly rebuild the ever
changing parts of our bodies. The
hard worker of muscles must have
meet if he is to continue his exertions
at the least tax to his digestive appar-
atus. At the same time the direct op-
posite of the muscle worker needs q
reverse condition of diet if mind and
body are to be kept clear and in con-
tinuous health. Between these two
conditions every variety of individuals
is to be found. 1t would, no doubt, be
better for comfort, health and contin.
uance of life to take things easy dur
ing hot weather, and if this condition
of affairs excited then vegetable diet
might be sufficient and best, but, IN
fortunately for them, some persons
have to work just Us hard in hot
weather as in cold; consequently the
wear and tear upon them is just as
great land usually greater) as in win
ter, consequently they must repair
their tissues just the same, and they
get the materials to do this with the
least tax upon their digestive appar-
atus if they use proper amount OF
animal food. 1t is possible to get the
same elements of support from vege-
table substances, but it will be with a
greater tax upon the digestion, and
this is not wise in hot weather. Rapid
and radical change in the kind of food
that has usually been taken is not ad-
visable. The best course is to change
slowly and gradually, with the seasons,
using each thing as it comes in season.
If this be done it will soon be found
that nature is the best guide to the
changes to be made, and that little or
no harm will come if things are used
freely in season.-Household News.

grow dull and blunt. He, therefore,
