To the Arctic by Land.

A daring journey from America to
Europe is being planned by NJ. de Windt,
who has already passed through such
adventures in Siberia and China. He
wants to explore the unknown parts of
Alaska between Mount ST. Elias and the
Prince of Wales cape-the extreme
northwest point of the American con-
tinent-and to proceed thence across
Behring straits into Siberia. Starting
from Mount ST. Elias next April, M.
de Windt reckons to cross the straits
in the following January either by
dog sledge or boat, according to the
condition of the ice. Landing at East
cape, in Asia, he would drive to
Yakutsk, using reindeer, dogs and
horses in turn. From Yakutsk he
would go up the Lena river to Irkutsk
and home through RUSSIA trip OF
some %, 900 miles.

purposes. 1t will be equipped with a
set of sails which will serve to keep it
under control and propel it, and boat,
or gondola, of considerable size will be
carried.
A great number of heavy cables will
be provided so that in case the balloon
should suddenly sink it will be relieved
of weight by the contact. of the lines
with the earth. 1t is intended to make
the trip, starting from Spitzbergen
and crossing the pole to the shores of
Behring strait, next year in June, when
the atmospheric conditions are most
favorable to aerial navigation.
A heavy snowstorm would probably
be disastrous to the balloon, but in the
early summer they are infrequent. 1t
is estimated that not more than IL week,
will be consumed en- voyage. The fact
that the ice which surrounds the pole
and has been an insurmountable bar
rier to ships will not have to be taken
into consideration constitutes one of
the chief reasons for believing that a
balloon expedition may succeed where
those by vessel have been failures.

Reputed Hay Fever Remedy.

Martyrs to hay fever will learn with
interest the experience of DR.. Fuber, of
Hamburg, who suffered a great deal
from hay fever during several sum-
mers. He noticed that in winter a
coryza was accompanied with hot ears,
which regained their normal tempera-
ture when the discharge from the hose
was established. He tried reverse
order of things on the hay fever, and
rubbed his ears until they became red
hot. He can now lead an endurable eX-
istence. AS soon as there is the least
amount of fullness in the nose the cars
are noticeably pale. A thorough rub
bling of the ears has always succeeded
in freeing the nasal mucous membrane
from congestion. The rubbing must
be thorough and repeated.

A TRULY NOBLE WOMAN.
Mrs. Helen H. Gardener, Author,
Lecturer and Reformer.
She Has Done Much to Improve the Con-
dition of Her Sex and Has Made
the Cause of Young Girls
Her Own.

Mrs. Helen III. Gardener is virginian
by birth, but for many years she resided
in New York. She lives at present in
Boston. Well-born and well-bred, she
comes from long line of fighters and
writer's. Her father was Rev. A. G.
Chenoeth, descendant of the author
Chenoeth, who came to Maryland in
1885, having received grant of land for
honorable service from Lord Baltimore,
or the third Lord Fairfax. Her grand
mother was Hannah Cromwell, a grand
daughter of Oliver Cromwell. Her pa
ternal grandmother was daughter of
Judge John Davenport, of Maryland,
and sister of the mother of Richard
Malcolm Johnston, the southern writer.
From this branch of her ancestry she
descends from Lord Baltimore. Her
| mother was Peel, of the family of that
name in England. When quite young,
Mrs. Gardener developed taste for
biological and sociological studies. Her
parents having strong conscientious
scruples against slave-holding, and de-
sirous of obtaining educational advan-

was the youngest, freed their slaves,
which they had inherited, and moved
north. Her education was obtained in
the best schools in the east, and she be-
gan writing when quite young, contrib
uting first to magazines under a nom de
plume that did not betray her to even
her nearest friends.
MEN, Women and Gods" her first
book, was published in 1885.
The two novels, 'Is This Your Son,
My Lord?" and pray You. Sir, Whose
Daughter" deal with the double stand
ard of morals and possess great power.
They have reached many editions.
Her last book, "An Unofficial Patriot"
published a year ago, is sociological
and historical story of the late war.

Weight In Football.

The greatest danger, apart from
those which arise from the abuses that
all lovers of this manly sport condemn,
comes from inequality in weight of the
players. Men should never be allowed
to play with boys, nor big boys with
little ones. The rules which require
the average weight of teams to be
given in the challenge may often
be nullified by the challenging team
having two or more members so much
heavier than the others that the aver
age does not fairly represent the play
ers. BY this means teams composed
mainly of young and slender boys meet
antagonists whose bulk alone creates
serious danger.

MONEY AND MATRIMONY.
Some Of the More Conspicuous of
the Seasons Engagements.
Conservative Estimate of the Fortunes In
volved In Five Cases-Some Personal
Gossip About Few of the Pros
pectlve Brides.

Millions and matrimony have gone
into partnership. Never before were
such vast fortunes involved as in the
engagements of the last season.
The following list of a few of the most
conspicuous engagements of the sea-
son, with an estimate of the fortunes
involved, will be sufficient to give it an
extraordinary place:
Miss Edith Rockefeller-Harold McCor-
mick, $3S. 100000.
Miss Consuelo vanderbilt-duke of MARI
borough, $l5,ooO000.
Miss Pauline Whitney-A. H. Paget. s15.-
100000.
Miss Ethel v. Phelps-stokes-J. S. Hoyt,
IS, 10000
Miss Felicite Oglesby-G. M. Pullman.
Jr.. ST, 900.
The wedding which will have a pecul-
lar interest for the west is that of young
George M. Pullman and Miss Felicite
Oglesby. The bride-to-be is the daugh-
ter of ex-Gov. Richard ]. Oglesby, of
Ell1hart, Ill. Miss Oglesby is not as
wealthy as her betrothed, who will some
day inherit the vast business and for
tune which his father has built up. The
wedding will not take place for year
and half, as both of the young folks
are still in the hands of tutors. Young
Pullman is studying at Cornell while
Miss Oglesby will pass the next year in
Paris, where the finishing touches will
be put upon her education.
Perhaps the most interesting of all
these engagements has been that of Miss
Consuelo Vanderbilt to the young duke
of Marlborough on account of its inter-
national character.
Miss Vanderbilt is slight, tall and of a
Spanish style of beauty. 1t said that
she inherits the latter from her mother,
who comes from the sunny south and
has the blood of all the Smiths in her
veins. She is 1S years old. The duke
OF Marlborough, who is "a years old, is
beginning promising career in British
politics, and rich wife will, of course,

Few Die and None Resign.

The accepted observation. concern
ing Office holders, that few die and none
resign, might seem at first sight map
plicable to postmasters when we read
that 100 postmasters died in Office last
year. But when we compare this NOR
tally with the whole number of post
masters in the country, which is 10000,
we find that the deaths were at the rate
of less than II for each 1000, whereas
the average deathrate among all classes
is about 20 per 1000 of the population.
1t will thus appear that postmasters
are really healthy lot, justifying the
belief that relatively few die. The
further belief that none resign remains
practically undisputed.

and purports to be historically correct.
The material for few of the important
characters is supplied in the persons
of her father and brothers. The book
has been dramatized by the actor and
playwright, James A. Hearne, with a
view to his own and his wife's require
ments, and will be produced next year.
1t departs somewhat from the lines
adopted heretofore by both authors and
playwrights, presenting, as it does,
more strength and less sentiment.
Many of this author'sworks are trans
lated into German, French, Russian,
Japanese, and even Icefandic, Ian
guages. Her scientific essays and
stories based on heredity have been
printed in medical and scientific jour-
nails in this country and abroad.
Mrs. Gardener is perhaps even better
known in the lecture field, in which she
finds her true element, but she has not
the strong physique that is required in
that line of work. In talking on the
subject she explains: at is not the
speaking in itself that wears me, but
the concentration necessary to grasp
and hold an audience, the feeling that
must not lose my hold for a single in
slant if I wish to make profound i'm
preston.
II do not feel the strain at the time,
but it comes to me when the necessity
for effort is over. And then there is
the afterpart of lecture, the intro
auctions and entertainments, and alto
gether lecturer needs a great amount
of strength, and that have not. There
is nothing the matter with me, but
physically am not strong"
At the worlds congress Mrs. Gar
dener prepared and delivered nine lee
lures, and has spoken in almost every
state in the union. She will be one of
tional League of Press Clubs, which
meets at Atlanta, and of which she is
a member of the executive board.
Mrs. Gardener has made the cause
of young girls her own, and will not
cease until she obtains the whole OBJ
ject which she has made part of her
life. She has struggled to raise the age
Last year twenty-four out of thirty
two states sent to Mrs. Gardener for n
form of the bill to the legislature,
framed in accordance with her ideas.
In seventeen states the age of consent
was raised from one to five years, which
was the result of her efforts. She
claims that the falling from grace
mostly comes from girls before they
reach their eighteenth birthday, and
if shielded until that time much dis
tress would be averted and the lives of
many, many girls, ruined by girlish in
discretion, would be saved for useful
career.
Mrs. Gardener in appearance is small
and slight, with well-shaped head,
clear-cut features and soft brown eyes.
Her hair is dark, and her voice is well
suited to speak in public. She is hap
PLY married and is an excellent house
keeper.

have been extensive financial negotia-
tions in connection with this marriage
is, of course, certain, but that there is
does not say that these two young peo-
pie have not deep and sincere affection
for one another.
According to social authorities, says
the New York World, Miss Vanderbilt's
dowry to be held in trust will be $10,-
100000 and $5,000,000 will be given to
the duke.
The engagement of another member
~of the Vanderbilt family, Miss Gertrude
Vanderbilt, with Mr.. Moses Taylor has
also been reported and generally cred
tied by society, but has been denied by
the press agents of the Cornelius Van
.derbilt family.
, Miss Gertrude Vanderbilt, as the
daughter of Cornelius Vanderbilt, the
head of that august family, is quite GER
tain to come in for SOS, 100000. Her
father to-day is worth more than $780,
100000, and, while the bulk of it will go
to the eldest son, it has always been the
w uCul
with the daughters.
Moses Taylor, whom, it is said, she
will marry, is collegemate of her
brother, Cornelius, at Yale. Young
Taylor was graduated in the class of
'93 and has served term as president
of the university club. He is twenty
five years old and belongs to the Taylor
family, noted for it's wealth and con.
servatism. The wealth of the family

ExtensIon of the Decimal srstem.

\ modification of the decimal system
for the division of time and angles is
proposed by NJ. de Scranton in the Re-
vue Scientifiques. The hour must be re-
tanned as the unit of time, because it is
universally accepted and it is hopeless
to try to change it. Every hour, how
ever, is divided into 100 minutes and
each minute into 100 seconds. The new
minutes would be 36 seconds long,
three-fifths of the old minutes, and the
new seconds little over one-third as
long as the present seconds. Time
would then be expressed in decimals;
thus, S.3348 would read s hours 80 new
minutes of As new seconds. For an
gular measurements he proposes di-
vid.ng the circle into 240 degrees in
stead of 800, with the same subdivision
into 100 minutes of 100 seconds as for
the hour.

DEVOTED TO ANARCHY.
Louise Michel, the "Red Virgin
OF the Commune"
A Woman In Revolt Against Every Char
acteristic OF Her Sex-Wnl Deliver
q Course of Lectures In the
United States.

Louise Michel, the Frenchwoman an
archist who, according to reports from
London, will arrive In this country
shortly to lecture and with the pro-
ceeds of her lectures found home for
children of anarchists expelled from
Europe, was born in Vroncount, on the
borders of old Lorraine, in 1890. OF
illegitimate birth, she was from her
earliest years allowed to run wild in the
ruins Of an old castle. With animals
for playmates and the howls of wolves
for lullabies the "Red Virgin" of the
commune grew up as q woman in revolt
against every natural instinct and
characteristic of her sex.
With playmate she constructed a
scaffold in corner of the castle of
yroncourt. Here she reveled in realis-
tic representations of the horrors of the
reign of terror. This training bore it's
fruit in later years. Born in the coun-
try of Charlotte Corday, she then i'm
agined herself second Judith and
Napoleon III. her Holofernes. She
fancied she was reincarnated Jael, the
wife of Heber the Kenite. Her Sisera
was the imam of Sedan"
AT the age of thirteen two elderly
suitors dared to ask for her hand. One
she dismissed with a rude quotation
from Moliere, and informing the second
that she did not love him and never
would, she added: "Were to be mar
ried to you should treat you as Nine.
Angelique treated Georges Daudin." In
after life she referred to her suitors as
"two old balloons"
Obtaining employment as a school
teacher she was moved by some of Vic
tor Hugo's verses to attempt on the ont
break of hostilities with Prussia the as
sassination of the third Napoleon. Her
preparations were modelled after those

to suit themselves. Lately, however,
the two departments have come to an
understanding, and hereafter there will
be but one standard official flag.
This standard flag is represented in
the engraving, which was redrawn
directly from the draft in the quarter
master generals Office. The new star,
representing Utah, is the one at the
right-hand end of the third row from
the bottom. 1t was represented on
the official draft by an extra star cut
out OF paper and pasted on. 1t was given
this position because it balances best
with the rest there. There is room for
three more stars, one each at the left
hand end of the second and fourth rows
hand end of the second row from the
top. These spaces were purposely left
for the accommodation of New Mexico,
Arizona and Oklahoma, when they are
admitted.
The flag in the engraving is made in
the proportions of the new regimental
colors just adopted, namely: feet
inches long by feet 4 inches wide, with
the union % inches square. These are
not the proportions, however, observed
in the flags of military posts, etc. For
the latter service flags of three sizes and
shapes are provided. First there is the
storm flag, which is feet by feet 2
inches; then the post flag, which is 20
feet by 10 feet, and last the big garrison
flag for holiday occasions, measuring
36 feet by 20 feet wide. In all these the
union is one-third the length of the
whole flag.
These three flags, with the regimental
colors, constitute the only official
United States flags. Flags made
otherwise are not correct. The big
flags are all made out of American
bunting; the regimental colors are of
silk, fringed on the edge and mounted
on stats, with tassels dangling.

LOUISE MICHEL.

n letter Of introduction to the object of
her attack he had left for the front.
Louise Michel took a prominent and
active part in the commune, wearing a
mans uniform and commanding regi-
ment of female furies. In May, 1871,
she defended the cemetery of Mont
martre, near Paris, against an attack by
the Versaillist forces. Captured with
other commands she pleaded for a
death sentence, but was deported to
New Caledonia, where she taught the
natives and collected their folklore sto-
ries. She was pardoned in the general
amnesty of 1880, but was imprisoned in
1888 and again in 1886 for anarchistic
utterances.
Louise Michel now lives in London,
and as an anarchist frequently adj
dresses meetings in that cranks' para
disc, Hyde Park. Her followers are
few and essentially alien in language.
She has published two books. Of these
her novel, ''The Microbes of Society,""
is, according to w. II. Stead, q shocking
"shocker" of the most horrible descrip-
ton, relieved here and there by chap
ters of great sublimity. Her "Mem-
oires" are an undigested mass thrown
upon the world, higgledy-piggledy, just
as they were written in Jail. She has
been called "St. Simeon Stylites in Pet
ticoats," but impulsive insanity of a
mildly homicidal type is probably the
cause of her firebrand utterances and
anarchistic tendencies.
