Off For the North Pole.

The scientific world is deeply inter
ested in the Polar expedition OF Prof
S. A. Andree, the Swedish aeronaut
who will sail, or soar, in ballon from
Spitzbergen on the 18th OF nexl
month. The point of departure is but
500 miles from the pole, and under or
binary conditions Andree thinks the
distance should be covered in forty
eight hours. He will be accompanied
by two companions, and they will be
supplied with sufficient provisions to
last them two years. The balloon,
which was specially constructed, is 22O
feet in circumference, and will allow
the party to remain at height Of 60C
feet for three weeks.

No Chance for q specu,at,ou

One who is free coinage man, but
who wishes to be posted on all phases
Of the question, writes to know il it is
really true that when the United States
shall have adopted bimetallic stand
ard he can go TO Mexico and with $500
In gold purchase $1,000 in Mexican
silver dollars, bring them home and
have them recoined into 1000 Ameri-
can dollars. The correspondent is in
formed that he will hardly be able to
make such a favorable bargain unless
the Mexican people are as ignorant as
the gold-bug papers seem to think the
mass Of the people OF the United States
The Mexican who would give two dol
lars for one might be regarded in his
own or any other country as a philan-
thropist, but the chances are he would
be regarded as a lunatic. - Butte

Sc Finf.heh HI. Remarks.

The pastor of New England church
announced that the regular weekly
prayer-meeting would be devoted 70
discussion Of q certain question OF gen.
eral interest to the congregation.
Many members of the church wished
to take part in the discussion; il was
therefore decided TO limit each speak
er's remarks to five minutes. When
the speakers time expired the clergy
man was to notify him by rapping with
a leadpencil on the desk. Deacon A.,
one Of the members at whom the
restriction was especially directed, had
not fairly started on his remarks when
the rap OF the pencil was heard. "Am
| to understand, asked the deacon,
THAT my five minutes have expired ?"
Eyes, deacon; | am sorry, but your
time is up" "And all general re-
marks are limited TO five minutes ?"
"Yes, that was the understanding.
The deacon turned very deliberately to
his fellow-members "Then, breth-
ren," he proceeded, 81 shall throw the
remainder of my remarks into the
form OF a prayer" The deacon kept
the floor.

that Mary snodgrass was hanged there
Friday for the murder Of her six
months-old child by burning il in a

The Snodgrass woman was a dis

10 leave Pikeville on that account.
She went TO Coeburn, Virginia, where
her child was cared for by negroes un-
Ill IL was six months old, when it was
turned over to its mother. She tried
10 get rid OF the child In various ways.
The County Judge told her she would
have to provide for it, and she took it
home.
One night neighbors living near
heard the little one screaming and
smoke issuing from the chimney. The
door was burst open to ascertain the
trouble. The child had been placed in
the fire and the mother was holding II
in the flames with long iron poker.
II was burned almost to ashes.
The inhuman mother was arrested.
Infuriated people wanted to lynch her,
but the promise of speedy justice
caused them to allow the law to take
it's course and she was convicted OF
murder in the first degree.
The parents Of the woman live in
this county. She was married to a
worthless man when about l6 years
old, and soon separated from him.

Higher Than the EineI.

Chicago expects to have a tower
which will be the highest structure oi
its kind ever constructed. 1t is to be
called the Seth Tower and will be
l $50 feet high and 800 feet square at
the base. The tower company is an
incorporated one, capitalized at $780,
600, having for its President ID. X.
Proctor, and it will rear its lofty steel
skeleton on the old baseball park prop
erty, owned by New York people, for
which lease for term OF years has
been secured.
This enterprise is based on business
lines and the projectors of the scheme
intend to equip the tower with a thea
ter, restaurants, search lights and tel
escope, while such entertainments as
aerial flights, balloon ascensions, para
chute drops and high tight-rope per-
formances, as well as electrical and
pyrotechnical displays. will be given.

Effective Call.

A travelling man put up for the night
at the leading hotel in a small town,
and before retiring left explicit instruc-
tions TO be called in time for an early
train. He was very earnest about the
matter, and threatened the clerk with
all manner OF punishment if that duty
was neglected. Early in the morning
the guest was disturbed by a lively
tattoo upon the door. "Well ?" he de-
msnded, sleepily. "I've got an impor-
tant message for you" replied the bell
boy. The guest was up in an instant.
opened the door and received from the
boy large envelope. He tore open
the envelope hastily. and inside found
a slip of paper on which was written
In large letters: "Why don't you get
up?" He got up.

An Artist with Her Needle.

A young woman in Oakland is a ge-
MUS with her crochet needle, and con.
sequently is envied by all her female
acquaintances. She conceives the
most beautiful designs, and works
them out in truly artistic manner.
When any Of her friends visit her this
conversation is usually heard:
"Oh, isn't that perfectly beautiful
It's just lovely! Oh, if could only do
that Do you think could?"
"Oh, yes; it is not difficult pat
term"
"Will you lend it to me SO that I can
try it?"
Certainly. Take it home with
you"
In few days the visitor returns al
most in tears.
IL just can't work that pattern out, !"
she groans. "I've worked at it day
and night ever since got it, and can't
make heads or tails of #. The whole
thing seems backwards or upside
down."
None Of the young lady's designs
have been copied yet, for she works
left handed and makes her lace back
wards.
