ARCTIC COLD BURNS SKIN.
1t is Like Blast From Furnace-Ex.
plOrers Suffer From Thirst.

DR.. Nansen, who recently returned
from an AActic journey. says that the
thirst induced by the irksome labor of
sledge- hauling is the severest discom-
fort to the explorer. Though the polar
world is covered With frozen water
there is none to drink save that which
is thawed, aid on the march 1T is almost
impossible to thaw it, Other explorers
complain of the effects OF the wind and
sun. 1t is we'll known that low de-
gree of cold can be borne Without dis
comfort so long as the air is still, but
the moment it gets into motion it strikes
the skin like the blast of a furnace.
It's effects have often been described
The sun, when it is visible, is hot, and
peels and blisters the skin, making it
infinitely more sensitive to the attack
of the wind Others, again, say that
the warm relaxing damp of the polar
summer, with all the diseases that 1T
brings. is infinitely worse than the in
tense cold of winter; but, perhaps, after
all, the greatest evil and misery which
confront the polar explorer spring from
the depression. mental and physical, of
the long night of 1000 and 5000 hours
of gloom and semi-darkness.
Under it's influence men seem to suffer
like plants deprived of sunlight. A
week or so will often completely change
their characters, and the enforced idle
ness. universal gloom and bitter cold
combined, reduce life to it's lowest mis-
ery.-St. Louis Globe-Democrat.

The great success of the treatment of
our daughter Oracle gave us hope, and
lnent of these doctors. Mrs. Tower thus
describes her condition at the time she
began treatment:

breathing. If l assembled stairway or
walked very fast my breath would almost
leave me. and L felt weak and tired all

L suffered a great deal. l had severe nau-
sea and bloating of the stomach. My
L suffered severely with nervousness. My
appetite became poor. / lost flesh very
decidedly. My feet and limbs would swell
until the swelling extended up into my
body. This produced such oppression that
my condition became alarming.
Mr.. Tower also describes his sufferings.
For years l had had neuralgia and rheu-
matism, with severe nervous prostration.
1t had made such inroads into my consti-
tuition that l was physically and mentally
unfit for any work or business. But to

gone for SPORT while to Los Angeles
because our business interests call us
there, but hope soon to return to Sacra-

ical Institute will always have warm
place in our hearts, for IL was there that
our dear daughter was restored to good
health and our own health so much BEN

this statement to DR.. Neagle, and hope
by it's publication that IL will induce 9TH

lieve that they will be cured. Our ad-

All Remembered.

LIE Menestrel' tells an amusing story
of THE late General Sir Henry Ponsonby,
who was for many years Queen Victo-
ria's Private Secretary. The General
was noted for his politeness, and when>
ever an artist performed at court, he
always telegraphed the following day
to inquire after the performers health
If a complete troupe performed ait the
Castle, the General employed formula
always the same. which included the
various members OF the company. A
short time ago Rogers Prat was sent to
court to exhibit his educated geese be-
fore Queen Victoria's grandchildren.
The day following the artist" received
the traditional telegram from General
Ponsonby, written in the following i'm
mutable terms: Her gracious majesty
would be delighted to know ii she MEM
bers Of your troupe are we'll, and if they
had an agreeable Journey For my own
part. beg you to convey to them the
expression Of my esteem" The geese
were no doubt very much catered

have gored breadths and are full at the
back. Overskirts come slowly but sure
ly to the fore, and the long rounded
shapes are about equally popular with
the Vandyke or pointed models. There
is no particular enthusiasm, however,
over the fashion in any Of it's guises.
It is hardly correct to assert that
electric seal quite equals in appear
ance the genuine SEAL" Even the very
finest London dyed electric seal is less
glossy and the shading of color less
beautiful than in the true fur. But its
substitute is certainly handsome. 1t is
eminently pleasing to the eye and just
as warm and comfortable as its mag
nificent rival. This refers, of course, to
the finest grades, which are neither
tawdry nor communicating in any
sense. and these grades are superior in
looks and last longer than any of the
silk-face linen-b back velvets which are
now so lavishly used for capes, coats,
and fancy jackets.
The loose Empire coats grow in popu-
larity among youthful wearers and
Eiender matrons. Some of the more re-
cent models have stitched bands simu-
lating boxpleats, and a few have their
straight fronts open over fur vests.
They have loose bishop sleeves with fur
cuffs and a very extravagant looking
Medici collar edged with a fur band. Ex-
pensive imported models in this style
are made variously Of fur entire-mink,
otter chinchilla, or Persian lamb.
decoration continues, and these trim
mings can be easily made and at little
expense by adding the beads or spangles
or both, to gimp, velvet bands, ribbon,
lace. net. etc. These, in nearly every
color Of the rainbow, can be bought by
the ounce or package at very trifiing
cost, and the work of sewing them on is
nothing. Ribbons or very narrow gal
looms. spangled very slightly or merely
at the edge, make an effective inexpen-
sive garniture which can be arranged
for neck bands, belt, borders to simulate
boxpleats, bretelles, boleros, and the
like. Accordion-pleate chiffon beaded
on the edge of the pleats makes lovely
waist for evening wear, and it is no
more difficult to sew on the beads or
spangles than it is to thread a needle.

RAILWAY MANIA OF 1886
England Was Vortex of Speculation
and Promoters Were Wild.

AT that time bullion, as now, was
piled high in the Bank of England, and
the rate of interest was very low.
Home railways, which had proved
profitable investment, became the arena
of frantic speculation. Much nonsense
was written as to their dividend yield
ing capacity. They We're infallibly to
become the permanent deposit of all
the surplus wealth of the country"
Credulous people believed this fiction.
There was only one road to affluence-
the railway track.
In 1886 investors were hoodwinked by
this story. Railway streets, with car
riages overhead and passengers be-
meath, were prophesied in London. AT
Greenwich there was proposal to tun-
mel the park and adorn the line with
marble arches In the country trains
were to run with atmospheric pres
sure as motive power, or to be driven
before the wind with sails. One genius
was prepared, with the help of rockets,
to impel the locomotive at a rate of 100
miles an hour. The possibilities of rail-
way progress and profit were illimitable
on paper, and on the glib tongue of
promoter and operator, thousands of
crash followed and many were Grip
pied.
The sharp lesson was, however, soon
forgotten. In 1S45-4G the fever of rail-
way speculation throbbed worse than
ever In September. 1916, no fewer than
41O new lines had been registered, and
the crowd, surging with avarice, bought
and sold shares madly. Promoters, sur
veyors, engineers, barristers, printers,
and newspaper proprietors raked in the
shekels. Nearly t10O,0 900 per week was
paid in advertisements alone. The
lordly -name-on- prospectus dodge was
worked without conscience and decep-
ton took advantage of greed.
No man was too poor to hold stock.
No man was too rich to plunge on big
lots and imperil his all. The itinerant

sicians as Injurious.

Physicians and specialists on nervous
troubles are treating numerous cases of
extreme insomnia and nervousness in
young, women who come to them for
treatment without disclosing to them
that their condition is the result of
practicing the new vice Of smoking tea
cigarettes.
The habit is increasing. From observ-
ations of its effects a west side physi-
clan declares to the Sunday Press"
that "a tea cigarette Is a genuine brain
excitant. Any one who uses 1t, and yet
does not work with her brain, would go
half crazy with nervousness, but with
those who do brain work 1t is different.

acts as pure sedative to the rest of the
body. quieting restlessness, uneasiness
or actual pains. The after effects are
bad if they have not been worked off by
unusual mental work.
AT some houses green tea cigarettes
are handed around after dinner, and l
know three actresses of considerable
reputation who give tea smoking par
ties twice week.
"One woman to break off this habit,
on which she has expended nearly $40
week. has lately voluntarily placed
herself under private restraint. She had
concealed her habit from her husband
by using an artfully contrived cigarette
case. 1t resembled bunch of keys,
each key containing one cigarette.
so much has the habit spread that
several tobacconists and druggists are
keeping tea cigarettes in stock for reg
ular customers.

tea is thine, just as caffeine is of coffee
and nicotine of tobacco. When theme

OF smoking numerous tea cigarettes,
finally producing fits or commissions
