Daily Papers at the North Pole.

No people in the world cling to their
newspapers like the English. In the
arctic expedition of 1875 one of the
chaplains provided file of The Times
with the reports of the Crimean war,
20 years old, of which he doled out two
copies every day, one to each ship.
The captains and officers had it first,
then it was handed ON to the fo'c's'le,
and in little while every one was
as keen about the Russian news as
if the war had been going on at
the moment. The chaplain in con-
troll of the press used to be be-
sieged with entreaties for an evening
edition, and when Sevastopol was on
the eve of being taken excitement ran
SO high that the newspaper locker was
almost stormed. However, the editor
stood firm and continued to dole out
his single edition day, so that the in
terest was kept up to the end of the ex-
pedition. London Million.

Mrs. Romnev,s water cooler.

The Colorado journalist, Mrs. Rom
ney, has patented, among several other
articles, water cooler which does not
require ice. 1t is covered receptacle,
of cellular brickware, manufactured of
clay, sawdust and asbestus fiber. In
the process the sawdust is burned out,
leaving the product cellular, or porous.
The receptacle, with the water to be
kept cool within, stands in tray Of
8alvanized iron, which holds water to a
depth of two or three inches. By reason
of the porosity of the cooler and the force
of capillary attraction, the water in
the tray constantly rises through the
cellular walls of the receptacle, and is
as constantly evaporated- thereby keep
ing the water inside as cool as it is usu-
ally drawn from we'll or spring. Den

A man who lives in fiat near Central
park recently had peculiar experience.
A couple of deaf mutes rented an apart
ment underneath his own and were
blessed in due season by the arrival of
bouncing baby with an excellent pair of
lungs. At night the little one woke up
nearly the entire house by it's cries, but
through all of it the parents slept until
the tenant above, at the solicitation of
his wife, went down stairs and fairly
forced an entrance. The deaf and dumb
couple resort to many ingenious devices
to overcome the disadvantages under
which they labor. They are unable to
hear their doorbell, so they have ar
ranged piece of colored paper upon
the gong in such way that the paper
flutters when the bell rings. By keep
ing a watchful eye on the bell they are
able to receive their visitors promptly,
but their inventive genius has not as yet
devised scheme to indicate the baby's
distress at night.-New York Mail and

Reproved by the Prince.

Not long ago the Prince of Wales was
one of a house party, his host being a
well known peer. After dinner the roy
al guest, the host and the other male Wis
itors repaired to the billiard room. On a
table at the side were two or three boxes
OF cigars, and the prince was helping
himself to one, when an ambitious mil
lionaire approached him, and taking
from his pocket cigar case held it out
to the prince, saying, IT think, sir, you
will find these better"

q mans dinner is good enough for me,
his cigars are good enough for me-"

The "Favorite Prescription" The
entrance to womanhood is an ex-
tremely critical period in every
young girls career. At that time she
needs the wisest care, the most judi
cious guidance. On the wisdom then
displayed in guarding her welfare,
her future happiness largely depends.
Improper treatment means the
breeding Of ills and disorders Which
will make existence a burden when
she grows older. In DR. Pierce's Fa-
vorite Prescription she has a tried
and trusty friend-It regulates and
promotes every proper function, and
builds up and strengthens the sys-
tenn. 1t corrects and cures all the
delicate arrangements, the peculiar
weaknesses, likely to occur to the
fair sex at such a time. 1t is a gen.
erous, supporting tonic, and a quiet
ing, soothing nervine. 1t is not a
beverage, but is legitimate medi-
cine, free from alcohol and all in
furious drugs. If the "Prescription :"
does not give satisfaction, the money
is refunded. No other medicine for
women is sold on such terms.

i THE DAYS THAT ARE NO MORE.

Obi to have lived when earth was young,
And everything was charming,
When bears and tigers were like lambs,
And snakes were not alarmingl
Z. When every day the sun shone out
The whole world went a-Maying,
And lovely maids on every hand
Through forests dense were strayingi
OH to have known the peerless knights
Who went out dragon killing,
And who to succor innocence
Distressed were more than willingl
Oil to have owned the purses which
With gold were always glist'ningl
Oil to have seen the fairies come
To every baby's christening.
Oil to have been for one hour on
A magic carpet sitting,
And in the twinkling of an eye
From land to land go flittingi
Just to have once a giant seen,
Though at civil distance,
And to princess in distress
Have offered some assistance.
Obi to have had the lamps, the rings
That friendly genii granted
Oh! to have met the fawns and swans
Which always were enchanted
Obi to have lived when beggar men
Great kingdoms could inherit,
When princesses could marry churls,
And wishing was merritt
When peasant lads and monarch's sons
Were equally undaunted,
When every tree and rock and stream
Was by some fairy haunted.
Oil to have known the time when tears
Were always turned to laughter,
And grief to joy, and people lived
Happily ever after

Alexander the Great was about to- pass
sentence of death on q noted pirate, but
previously asked him, ''Why dost thou
trouble the seas?'
"Why," rejoined the rover boldly,
"dost thou trouble the whole world? /,
with one ship, go in quest of solitary adj
venture and am therefore called pirate.
Thou, with great army, warrest against
nations and therefore art called en-
peror. Sir, there is no difference be-

LOVES REMINDERS.
Shy bluebird on yon maple spray,
NV coming causes you surprise.

Shy bluebird on yon maple spray,
My coming causes you surprise.
You cry aloud and fly away
On wings that glitter as they rise;
So-blue are they, so skyey clear,
Unequaled bliss their beaming brings;
For now think Of one most dear,
Whose eyes are bright as bluebird's wings
From covert groves glides forth trill
OF wild birds singing Justify,
Yet while list my thoughts will still
Seek her who is most dear to me,
For, oh, her soft and soothing voice
Sounds merrier than the leaping throng
Or waters when spring rills rejoice
Its music mates the linnet's song.
Upon a bourgeoned white birch broad
A squirrel gambols spry and feet,
Until, by my rude spaniel awed,
She higher mounts on hasty feet;
And as she bounds without fall
From lower limbs to limbs above
Her agile motions well recall
The fiake-light footballs Of my love.

Davis is held IS for comparatively
small amount, 1t is alleged by the police
that Davis Is the leader OF a gang of
