IN THE FAR NORTH,
Remarkable Arctic Voyage of the Steam-
ship Thetis In Unknown Waters.

Remarkable Arctic Voyage of the Steam-
ship Thetis in Unknown Waters.
The next day the Thetis overhauled sew
eral whaling vessels, one of which, tho
Jane Grey, manned her rigging and cheer
ed for the Thetis, compliment returned
by Uncle Sans ship. The Thetis had res
cued the Grey in 1883, when the latter had
been capsized, and the captain of the Grey
had resolved always to honor his preserver;
30 up in the Arctic, with the pack only n
mile away, the vessel manned her rigging
and passed the most stately of marine com
pliments
At half past IL of Sunday, September s,
the Thetis, standing westward, sighted
Herald Island, high, gloomy and forbid
ding-a little inaccessible rock in the mid
die of the great Arctic ocean. Ten years
lffore, almost to the day, Captain DE Long
nd been caught in the ice where the Thetis
now sailed free; not n trace of ice was Wis
able now, the high rock bore but little
snow, and the Thetis plunged along within
two miles of what, until within few years,
had been deemed an outlaying spur of n
vast Arctic continent, so seldom had it been
seen.
Still westward steamed the Thetis, and
as gloomy Herald Island sank behind her
gloomer Wrangel Island rose before her
like Herald Island, believed to be an out
post of an unknown continent. The island
lifted itself up plainly; Berry's Peak tow
cred aloft as the Thetis drew near, grander
and more gloomy than ever, in the dusk of
an autumn day.
There were no sails in sight, and Captain
Stockton determined to put about more
than satisfied with the trip he had made
from Herschcl Island to WranGe Island
within thirty daysl Never before had such
voyage been made
So the Thetis turned eastward again,
leaving the great, lonely island behind her,
and the land sank slowly back into the
ocean whence it had risen, and the sun
went down and the moon came up; and
from the land of ice the Thcts steamed
southwark, out of the frozen ocean, victor
in hand-to-hand struggle with the pow
ers of the Arctic, and doer of deeds that no
vessel ever before her had done.-Robert
Gordon Butler in Scribner's.

Fact ana

When man knows in part he is eager to
know in full He is sure to make effort to
know His mind works from the known
toward the unknown by varied processes.
He reasons. He traces analoges. He i'm.
agincs. He adds surmises to his certain
ties. And after awhile one is puzzled to
know how much of his story is dream
stuff and how much the substance out Of
which true history is made.
But thus it has always been. IIomer's
poems are to such degree the product of
his own fertile and splendid fancy, and of
the myths which he found ailoat in the mir
of the old world he lived in, that peo-
pie forgot how much reality had place in
the works of his genius. When Schlie-
mann began to unearth the facts of mar
bic, bronze and gold long buried in Greece
and Asia Minor everybody was surprised
to find so much in the Had and the Odys-
sey that may be called history.
Sir Walter Scott has put his own dream
power into the ancient times Of which he
wrote. One who reads him needs n well
schooled critic and interpreter at hand to
distinguish between the historical facts
aud the creations Of fancy which the "Wiz-
ard of the North has so bewitchingly
blended. - Bishop Vincent in Harper's
Young People.

An AnrcI In nisrnien.


IF the wives of our employers were to
take the trouble to inquire little closer
into the domestic lives of the men en-
ployed by their husbands this world would
be a far brighter one for many a hard
worked woman who buries her trouble in
her heart and wipes away the only out
ward trace of it with her apron. / know
Of an employer whose wife interested her
self in the lives Of the people in his store so
that she ascertained the birthdays of their
wives, their children and even the wedding
days. 1t was done so quietly and so sweet
ly that none suspected her purpose, but
now on each festive day in thosa fifty odd
families there comes some pleasant remem-
brance. 1t is never the same, but always
something that is just needed in that fam
lily Mt that time.
Every six month those husbands find a
little difference in their salary envelopes
At Thanksgiving splendid bird goes to
each of the houses in the employers name,
at Christmas time the hand of the wife is
visible. Now that is practical charity. God
only knows how many burdens that one
woman has made easier, how many lives
she has made brighter None of the wom-
en- whose paths this one woman has so
pleasantly smoothed has ever seen herl To
them she is like an invisible angel of good
ness, but many are the silent prayers that
go up in those fifty homes for her gentle
consideration for others.-Edward w. Box
in Ladies' Home Journal.

Two Kinds of Walks.

Look at the inethodical walk of the ser
ried mass of clerks and others in a position
more or less dependent They are slaves to
the clock, and to the routine to which
their daily hours are devoted. Do they not
walk oddly alike? And well they may, for
they are alike-at least in SO far as they
are integers to help forward the routine
business work Of the world. Their very
steps seem to say: 81 am one of those who
have to be here at such and such time,
and there Mt such time. must not de.
lay must HE me to my work.
1t is the same with soldiers. They, too,
are like so many spokes in great wheel.
In sweet contrast there is the self made
man. He may have been a clerk like
others in his younger days. If so there is
touch of it still in his gait. But there is
also much more. 1t has developed into a
strut of the first water. He holds his head
high so that all may look at him, and il
they will follow an example may model
themselves upon him. "Behold mel" he
seems to say; 81 am what nave made my.
self Did you ever see anything so remark.

Mr. Daily remarked, when the subject of
superstition was introduced in some mex
plicable manner, that he was most forcibly
reminded of that old saw, "When the
house is finished the hearse is at the door,"
by visit to a town not thousand miles
from Denver, where lives II well known
public character, u man of immense wealth,
who startled thetow by building beauti-
full and costly stone residence. Upon the
granite fence which surrounds the spacious
grounds he spent enough money to almost
build another house.
Butthe tall granite portcos of the portals
do not overlook beautiful bronze gate,
such AS one might imagine there would be-
there. The owner has Il gate of rough pine
planks, and not for architectural effect
either 1t looks very much like make
shift for u door in IN unfinished house.
The eccentric rich man AYERS that as long
as he refrains from finishing that gate just
so long the hearse will be kept from before
his door,-Chicago News.

Attacking Ant Hills With Cannon.

III the forest of Guiana dwell some very
large and exceedingly ferocious black ants,
which throw up hills fifteen and even
twenty feet in height. They will not hesi-
tate to attack man, and their headquarters
are usually given wide BERTH The trav-
eler Malouet speaks of having witnessed
the destruction of one of these fortresses
and its inhabitants in way that was Ger.
tainly extraordinary. A trench was dug
entirely around it and filled with dry wood,
which was set fire to simultaneously at all
points. Then train of artillery was
brought to bear and the hill knocked to
pieces with the cannon balls. The ants,
seeking to escape, were all burned in their
attempt to cross the fiery gutter-Inter-

Antitrust Coal Tar.

A simple and economical way of tarring
sheet iron pipes to keep them from rusting
is as follows: The sections as made should
be coated with coal tar and then filled with
light wood shavings, and the latter set on
fire. 1t is declared that the effect of this
treatment will be to render the iron prac-
tically proof against rust for an indefinite
period, rendering future painting unneces
sary. 1t is important that the iron should
not be made too hot, or kept hot too long 4
time, lest the tar should be burned off
Hence the directions for the use of light
shavings instead of any other means Of
heating. York journal.

put upon the head the genuine article.

There are about $500 counties in the
Union, with an average size of about 1000
square miles, but this average is enormous
ly exceeded in many instances, and is also
frequently fallen below. Leaving out tho
great unsettled counties of the west, the
average county would be about 500 square
miles in extent.

FLOWER OUT OF THE RACE.
Says He Cannot Command the En-
tire Vote of the Party.

ALBANY, Sept. IS, 1S94.-Governor
Flower authorized the announcement to-
day that he was not a candidate for re-
nomination, and would not allow his
name to be presented to the Democratic
Convention next week for re-nornina-
ton. When asked what was his reason
for this decision, Governor Flower re-
Piled
81 am convinced that my nomination,
if it should be accorded to me by the oon-
vention, would not be so likely to com
mand the full vote of the party as would
the nomination of some other Democrat,
and am too desirous of Democratic sue
cess to stand in its way. This is an inn
portant year for the party. Republican
victory in November would be likely to
mean perpetuation of Republican con-
troll for many years in this State, and
Republican success in the nation in 1896.
Our ticket must have the earnest, ag-
gressive support of every Democrat to
insure Democratic victofy-and that man
should be nominated for Governor who
can certainly command that support. AS
for myself, need not assure the Demo
Gratis of New York that I will be found
as / always have been in the past, bat
tling in the ranks for the success of the
ticket which my party shall nominate.

night in the Avenue House was a meet

body of merchants to denounce dead
BEATS After the meeting convened,
Messrs. H. Hardekoff and G. Bouker &
Son were elected to membership, after
which the Peddlers Committee reported.
They said they had seen several of the
Aldermen and that they all favored the
Merchants idea of compelling peddlers to
wear badges with their license number
upon them.
The black list was Next brought up,
and q number of the members were CEN
sured for not reporting their delnquents
more readily.
Communication was received from
the State Secretary requesting the Mer-
chants of Hudson County to boomlalong
the new Merchants Insurance Company.
Only members of the several protective
associations throughout the State will be
allowed to insure in the company.
MILK is TO BE DEAR.
1t was decided to cut the price on borax
and raise it on milk. They said the lat
ter will undoubtedly be much dearer
this winter than ever before owing to
the lack of good pasture and also the
disease which has been prevalent among
the cows.
That was about all of the mercantile
business transacted. and then the water
question was taken UP.
