in those regions is beyond doubt; for
not only are remains Of forest trees
found within Is degrees Of the North
Pole, with every evidence of their hav-

arctic expedition in 1875 brought home
proofs of a very warm climate, proba-

grees of the north pole. The explana.
ton Of this condition which Lord Kel-

1000 feet the sea would be open but

flow in sufficient to clear the Ice away

seems to be 5 feet thick, evidently
melting away underneath.
Having regard to all the defenses-

To Store Away Cabbage for Winter.
The following method for storing
cabbages have been tried and found ef-
fcaoious, and are worthy of adoption
by all:
A portion Of the CROP, sufficient for a
couple Of months use may be safely
stored down cellar. The outer leaves
should be left on and the cabbage
stood on the roots, head up, first row
against the wall, second row against
these, and SO on for as many rows as
are desired. If the cellar be damp or
dry they will keep fresh and green a
long while. Never, in a cellar, put tho
heads down. Care, however, should be
taken through ventilation, by chimney,
door. or otherwise, that there should be
air, and that the temperature should be
kept just above freezing point. If the
cellar be dry, and the heads are down.
l have observed that there is apt to be
more or less mold; if wet, they begin to
rot In a short time. Always place
heads up.

THE REPUBLICAN PROGRAMME.
1t Is Simply TO Widen, IL Possible, tho
Democratic Breach.


WASHINGTON, July A.-The Republi-
can Advisory Committee of the Senate
held a session this morning and discussed
the situation from various points of view.
No agreement was reached as to what
should be done, and the conditions were
found to be thoroughly satisfactory to the
leaders OF the minority. 1t was agreed
that If they had had the arrangement or
things Themselves they could not put
the majority in a worse fix than that in
which IL is found. In view of this con-
dtion, 1t was decided. as much as any
thing can be said TO be decided, that the
Republicans should let the Democrats
settle their own quarrel. while they sit
by and watch the proceeding. This will
be the policy pursued Monday. and all
the Republicans win have TO say during
the debate will be in the nature of ques-
tons intended TO irritate and widen the
breach already existing.
