TO THE WHITE NORTH"
And"Greenland's Icy Mountains"

To Explore Ice Fields, Hunt Polar Rear
and Gather Natural History Specimens
IAN Expedition which Has Local
Interest by Proxy.
A very decided novelty in vacation excur-
sions is the one which is due to leave New
York tomorrow evening on the steamship
Miranda of the Red Cross line, bound for
"Greenland's icy mountains" and other
points within the Arctic circle. "To eX-
plore new and strange lands, to observe
and enjoy the wonders of the Arctic to
photograph, sketch, paint and study its pc
culiar forms of life, the picturesque scenery,
the brilliant auroras, the massive glaciers
the stupendous icebergs.n So reads the
circular of the expedition which is to sail
under the direction of Dr. Frederick Cook
who was the surgeon and ethnologist of the
first Peary expedition, and who is now ac-
lively at work raising funds and making
the arrangements for an Antarctic expedi-
ton to be undertaken next year.
A. j. Pullen of this village was booked
for the Greenland expedition and decided
only last week to give up the anticipated
pleasure for business and personal reasons.
As has been already said the expedition is
novelty in summer excursions. 1t is
somewhat like the famous steamer excur-
sions up the coast of Norway to the North
Cape, but will offer much more of variety
and excitement, with a spice of danger
thrown in, for the 60 members of the party
will land at various places, Chamber over
ice fields and glaciers, gather botanical. in
sect and animal specimens make photo
graphs, and occupy themselves in other in
teresting and instructive ways. The route
of the excursion lies up the coast of Labra-
dor for several hundred miles, thence
across Davis strait to Greenland with Mel
vile bay as the objective point, where sew
eral days will be spent hunting polar bear
and seals. From there, if the state of the
weather and the ice fields permit, the party
will 60 on north to visit the Peary head
quarters and the winter quarters of the
Kane, Hayes and Greeley expeditions.
In our present sweltering temperature il
is interesting to note that in the sugges-
ton of things to be taken, are included
plenty of warm winter clothing, heavy
wooden underwear sweaters, wooden stock
ings, felt boots and arctic overs. snow
goggles, rope for crossing glaciers, and
many other articles equally suggestive of
region only 800 miles distant from the
North pole, which the excursion will visit.
The vessel is due to reach New York on
the return Sept. %.
Mr.. Pullen's position was to have been
that of general assistant 10 Dr. Cook, and
it will be easily understood that he gave up
his summer plans with great reluctance.
Through his influence and by his request,
Frederick 2. Gay of Boston, a son of Geo.
Gay of the well known wholesale grocery
house of Timothy Gay N Co., is to 90 in
Mr. Pullen's place. lie is a young man
now in his college course and especially in
terested in natural science.

BRATTLBBORO IN 1854.

Assistant Postmaster Wilcox has had in
his possession for few days a very inter-
esting daguerreotype which was made by
J. l.. Lowell in 1854. Mr.. Lowell was then
settled in Brattleboro, and is now follow
ing the business of a photographer in Am
herst, Mass. The picture was taken from
the top of the hill on Main street. opposite
what is now Thurbers bakery, and looks
down the hill toward and beyond the
bridge. In the foreground is the Van
Doom building. On the opposite side of
the street is the Revere hall, where Cox's
store now is, and just below, Judges
building, as it stands today. For tenants
it then had E. j. Carpenter and his news
room; Sewall Butler, barber, in the same
room, and Alfred Simonds & Co., leather
and findings. Below the Van Doom build
ing is the old wooden Woodcock building,
where Tyler block now is Just opposite,
above the trees, can be seen the cupola of the
Gates furniture building, on the site of
Emerson & Sons store.
In the street opposite the Van Doom
building stands Warren Briggs's water cart
Umbrellas raised over this, and over the
heads of people in two-horse team stand
ing near show that the picture was taken
in hot simmer day. Directly across the
oli"SO' VII NHdI Is uOW lue DIdJJleDOIO
House green, stands the two-story Root
building, with a large cluster of other
buildings above and beyond on Reed hill.
The Root building was then occupied by
II. Arms ~ Son, the son being Capt X. b.
Arms now of Burlington. The Woodcock,
Clapp, Root, and several other buildings,
IA in all, were burned in the fire of 1857.
The picture is valuable as an authentic
view of old-time Bratteboro and is re-
markedly good as a specimen of the diff
cult art of the dagueueotype, its only pc
culiarity being that its perspective is curl
ously foreshortened
Mr.. Wilcox also has loans of photo
graphic views by Mr.. Lowell. made 10
years ago when that art was just beginning
to be practiced. They will probably be
used in picturesque Brattleboro."

Cold. Not Iced Tea.

Those who do not like TO use ice as
prodigally as some do in beverages, and yet
like ''cold tea will find that they can
have it without the ice. If you have no
ice at all, put the amount of tea required
in pitcher in the morning, and pour over
it only enough water to cover it; let it
stand for three or four hours, and you will
find that all the flavor is extracted from the
leaves. When you wish to serve. pour
fresh water, as cold as can be obtained, up
on the tea, and you will have a delightful
glass of tea, with none of the bitterness of
boiled tea about it, and sufficiently cold.

As becomes July number of any maya
zine, the Atlantic for this month has its
share of out-of-door papers. They show
more than one way of getting a change of
scene and air, for besides Mr. Frank
Boles's Nova Scotia paper, "The home of
Glooscap," and Mr.. Bradford Torreys
Florida sketch, son the beach at Day
tona," an unsigned article, "The city on
the housetops," gives a vivid and sympa-
thetic picture of the summer life on the
roofs of houses in the most crowded quar-
tiers of New York. 1t is evidently the
work of man who has lived the life him
self. Among the more distinctively literary
features there appears the first of two in
stalments of the letters of Sidney Lanier to
a Philadelphia friend. Professor Tvrrell
OF Dublin takes one into the far past with
his study of 'Lucretius," while 1.-THE Red
bridal, japanese love story, by Lafcadio
Hearn, goes as far into the remote east.
