In the Century's article on "The
First Landing on the Antarctic Con-
tinent," by G. L. Borchgrevink, the
Norwegian explorer, occurs the fo,-
lowing:
We weighed anchor on October 81,
and when close to the south shore sent
off two boats in search of seals. On
this occasion one of the boats, being
swamped in the surf, was Immediately
crushed against tie rocks, its crew
having q rather narrow escape from
drowning. One of the men fought
bravely in the breakers for half an
hour without reIinquishing his grasp
on his rifle.
With scrupulous care we now com
posed letter, upon which each of us
carefully inscribed his signature. Hav-
ing placed it in a small bladder which
had been given to us for the purpose
by the Norwegian consul in Me-
bourne, we consigned it to the waves,
and leaned over the bulwarks to see
the mail depart. Much to our chagrin,

fore our message had gone many yards

A Street Incident.

A significant circumstance occurred
during a visit of the Emperor of Ger
many to England. The kaiser was for
one day the guest of the lord mayor
and the city of London received him
and several of the queens children OIL
that day.
The old city was splendidly decorat'
ed, and set for great public function
The streets from Buckingham palace
to the lord mayors mansion were lined
with infantry and cavalry, back of
whom was a solid mass of people.
Between these lines the royal car.
riages slowly passed. They moved in
almost absolute silence, save for the
perfunctory salutes of the soldlery. The
queen was not present, and for mere
royalty as royalty, there was appar.
emily no popular feeling save that Of
curiosity.
When, however, the carriage of the
Princess of Wales appeared. and her
sweet, kind face was seen, the applause
grew enthusiastic. Suddenly a burst
Of cheers was heard, as a low, black
wagon came swiftly down the throng-
ed street. 1t was the ambulance of a
hospital, which has precedence every
where, carrying some wounded man
to receive succor. The crowd paid
homage to charity in n sincere though
inappropriate fashion.
In 1t was hint which the scions of
the ruling families of Europe present
should have understood. Queen Vic
toria knows that her people pay ale
glance to her more as a wise, good
woman, wife and mother than as ono
of the House of Hanover.
"The divinity which doth hedge
king" must now have its bases in hui
manity and personal respect rather
than in descent or etiquette.

is great and greatly increas n.y."
On the 18th Janu1ry, Mcssrs. Walter Baker

which they said:

Survived Bullet in His Lung.

A man with a bullet hole through
his left lung is living in Milton, Ind,
and is fast recovering from the injur.r,
which all the doctors thought would
result in his death within few days
of his receiving 1t. His name is 10.
seph Revellee. Last February he was
shot in a quarrel, the bullet piercing
his left lung. For several days he was
apparently at the point OF death, and
the doctors said he could not recover.
But after a week or SO he began to
improve, and now, though still in
hospital, is said to be on the way to
certain recovery. The injured lung
has hardened, and the heart has been
pushed slightly out of place. New

"Well, some people take his part.
The other Sunday, when you and he
stayed to dinner at the Browns, Miss
Hannah Woods noticed that she never
saw him eat SO heartily before; and
Sam Carter said it was because he
didn't get enough to eat at home, and
that that was the reason he'd been 60
Ing round lately among the neighbors.
Of course, it's shameful thing to say i;
but people will talk"
Then how Selma did flare up!
81 never heard of such impertinence.
What could induce Sam Carter to say
such an outrageous thing?"
"Why, there was something about
your making dishes out of scraps, or
something of that sort. Hannah
Woods said that she went in for good,
fresh, wholesome victuals, and plenty
of it. And then somebody remarked
that if Tom Medium had married
Hannah-you know they used to tease
her about him-he would have been
in the right place. And Ham ah's
cousin, Mrs. Brown, said she always
thought that Tom and you wouldn't
get on very well together-you're SO
different in your tastes and ways.
Tom goes for real comfort, and you
like to make little show and have
things pretty around you. She said
she felt sorry for you both"
"Mrs. Brown is fool" burst out
Selma: Sand as for Hannah Woods,
everybody knows that she did her
best to catch Tom, and he despised
her. Tom marry that great, coarse
woman! And Tom and I not suited
to each other, and not happy togeth-
er! Why, he's the kindest, most af-
fectionate husband woman ever had,
and there's not thing he would not
do for me if [ asked him."
She was so excited, angry and NOR
titled, that thought I'd gone far
enough. So I folded up my knitting
and went home, and took care not to
go near the Mediums again for some
time.
They were at church the next Sun
day-Selina in q brand-new dress. She
looked around, little flushed and dis
tant, at the neighbors; but Tom looked
happy and good-natured, as usual, and
was mighty kind in his ways to her.
And when i went over, u day or two
after, found tho gypsy kettle gone
back to the pig-pen, and the pickle-jar
disappeared from the passage, and the
ribbon bows from Toms parlor chair.
I happened to ask to look at the
"Model Home" for pattern for q
wall-pocket, and Selma said she had
put away the book in the attic, but she
would find it, and send it to me next
day.
Tom has moved the pig.pen out OF
sight of the kitchen widdow, and would
have moved the barrel, but his wife
proposed, instead, to make a simple
honeysuckle screen in front of it,
which, to my idea, is far prettier than
the gypsy kettle and the fountain.
.. told Joseph OF my experiment and
its success. He says l had no bust.
ness to meddle in other peoples af.
fairs, or to go round telling q woman
what the neighbors say about her. But
if can prevent great evil by the
timely application of lesser one, 7
think am justified in doingit. And
then the neighbors are well enough
disposed to the Mediums, though some
of them do talk, apd Selma is good
natured-so it will all be right after
awhile. Saturday Night.
