The stations Of the Green Cross are
to be placed not only on the mountain
peaks, but it is intended when the So
ciety shall have grown older to estab-
lish supply huts in other impossible
places in the deserts, the death valleys
and the great barren tracts that must
be crossed by man continually. The
Austrian Alpine Club may be in time
only an auxiliary attending to the

POLAR STATIONS.
1t is not impossible that these sta
tions may be established in midocean.
There are barfen islands in both the
Atlantic and Pacific passed by ships
or infreQuent courses, yet for some
reason near the scene of many a ship

mariner. The Green Cross hopes to es-
tablish stations upon these. And there

miles beyond nayigable waters kept
constantly supplied by the Green Cross
Society.
The field of operations in this coun-
try would lie in the mountains, in
Death Valley, in all the desert spots
in the interior, and along the coast
where there are bad spots for mar
iners.
The question of supporting these
posts is one that occurs TO all who hear
about such stupendous new charities.
When the Red Cross was established
for sufferers it was declared that it
could never support itself. But money
comes in.

HUMOROUS ANECDOTES.

The following story is told of John
Bright and his old fishing crOny, Pea
body, the philanthropist. They used
to fish the Shannon at Castle Cornell,
and one day they came up for a turn
on the Tough. Two of the chief boat
men Of Killaloe joined forces, and did
themselves the honor of rowing these
distinguished visitors. And a severe
days work these rOwers had. Arrived
at the landing stage late in the even
ing, there was the inevitable police
man on the bank John Bright, ac-
costing him, said: What is the proper
price to pay these boatmen, constable"
He replied: Seven shillings and six
pence, Your Honor, but some gentle
men give them ten shillings."
John Bright, turning 10 his chum,
said: Il have no change, Peabody;
have you three half crOwns?'
The millionaire produced the coins
and gave them to the boatman nearest
TO him. Holding them in the open
palm of one hand, while slowly
scratching his head with the other,
he said: And they call you Peabody. ~
