NANsBN,s ARCTIC IRA VEL.

Those who have heretofore been surprised
at the remarkable celebrity with which news
travels among the savages Of Northern 81
IBERIA, where there are neither telegraphic
lines nor other means Of rapid communica
ton, had reason TO place some faith even in
the vague dispatches that had been received
during the past ten days concerning Nan
sens safe return after successful visit TO
the North Pole.
Few, If any. of the Arctic experts doubt
the present safety and ultimate return of the
adventurous Norsemen, who chose such
bold and novel approach TO the North Pole
as required them deliberately TO put them
selves in position that other explorers have
endeavored to avoid as long as possible, and
were content to put their little vessel out of
their control, and let the drifting ice carry
them whittier il would, but always, as they
hoped, toward the pole. TO be sure their
ship might be crushed, in spite Of its strength
and novel construction, but even If that fate
should overtake their vessel it was still feas
ible for the crew to make successful re-
treat over the intervening ice to the Siberian
coast to the south of them. Ice Journeys
are the most disagreeable and apparently
the most dangerous that can be made. but

One OF the crew Of the United States
steamship Rogers, in search of the jeanette,
while travelling along the coast of Siberia,
in February, 1882, had his first news of the
loss of the Jeanette and the arrival on shore
of part Of the shipwrecked crew from the
savages along that seme part of the Siberian
coast where the rutaor Of Nansen's return
seems 10 have. originated. The Jeanette
survivors came ashore at the mouth of the
Lena river, nearly 1000 miles away, and
near where Nansen's vessel is supposed TO
have entered the ice two and ahalf years
ago, and it is not unreasonable to expect
that similar news might now be carried In

such developments as he believed would
soon result.
while the President and the Secretary
OF State decline TO even intimate what course
they will pursue, there is reason to believe
that General Weyler will be authoritatively
advised that if he touches citizen OF the
United states with hand OF violence his
military despotism will be cut very short
"fhe same indignation that has prompted
the President to contemplate early action is
working in Congress. The most fortunate
stroke for the Cubans that has yet occurred
is the presence of the brute Weyler as the
captain general. The influence will pro-
duce effects in this country that will help

independence.

"FAUST."

Faust will be the attraction at
the auditorium in this city by the
John Griffith Faust with a new and
strong company. Every reader Of
fiction, every lover of romance, has
either heard or seen that immortal
play of Faust 1t has been pub
lished in book form, sung in every
quarter of the globe, and delineated
dramatically by more than q dozen
actors, good, bad and Indifferent.
There has, however, been something
lacking in the dramatic presenta-
ton in the way of strong person
atty. The part Of Mephisto is
taken by Mr. John Griffith, the
young tragic actor, who has met
with such overwhelming success in
this character. He is like a meteor
when he comes on the stage. He
electrifes his audience and holds
them spell bound. Mr.. Griffith has
been with such noted mesters as
Keene, Bowers and Booth. He has
given the character life study and
in his hands Goethe's famous work
is a wonderful production. He is
backed by capital, thorough man
agement, supported by new COM
pany stronger than ever, and is
making a name for himself that
gives him the distinction OF being
the greatest Mephisto of our day.
Mr. Griffith will appear in the Pull
man auditorium May 9Th. 2

WEEKLY CROP REPORT.

state for the week ending Monday,
April 20, and is based on reports
from 45 correspondents in Eastern
Washington and 80 in Western
Washington. In the mere remote
regions, and where mail facilities
are slow, the reports only include
the time up to the 18th or 18th.
The week was a cold one through
out, the temperature being decided
" below normal. Showers were
frequent during the fore part of the
week, and snow occurred on the
14th and 18th, covering the ground
quite thickly in many localities of
Eastern Washington.
Frosts were of almost nightly oc-
currence throughout the week.
Friday, the 18th, was a sunshiny
day; so also was Sunday, the 18th,
and Monday, the goth.
The week was, on the whole, un-
favorable to agriculture, being too
cool for vigorous growth, or for ger
mination. Consequently crops are
backward Wheat is reported as
looking yellow and sickly in some
localities. The frosts have injured
early vegetables considerably, and
fruits materially. The weather at
the end of the week has become
more spring-like, making the stu
alton more hopeful.

cool weather, and it's unfavorable

Brain Building.

DIR. Elmer Gates, of Wnshingi on
and Philadelphia, has for twenty years
been experimenting in what he is
pleased to call "brain building in
dogs" He has made considerable
progress in this particular branch of
physiological research, especially in
developing a sense of color in his
canine pupils.
This is dono by an appeal to the
animals appetite, which is the secret
of the training of birds, and most
animals, the power of reward being
stronger than fear of punishment.
DIR. Gates places five red pans and FIVE
green pans inverted on the floor.
Under the green pans there is food.
There is nothing under the red pans.
The ignorant puppy overturns all the
pans in search of food. As he grows
up, he learns that there is food
beneath the green, and he ignores the
red pans.
When the dogs education is COM
pleted in this respect, he is chloro-
formed and put to death, and his brain
being dissected, the "color centre"
will be found to have unusually deve-
loped-that is, the number of cells in
the color centre will have been in
creased, as well as specially developed.
DIR. Gates thus argues that the brain
structure of man or beast can be
built up, by developing and multiply
ing the cells in the centre of any of
the senses, in much the same manner
as the baker kneads his dough. New
York Journal.

Out of the 5000 persons engaged in the
liquor business in Philadelphia, 3695 are
women.
Liquor robs a man of his sense and wis
dom; and no person should be so foolish as
to place himself under the thraldom of such
an enemy.
Philadelphia has recently received foi
liquor licenses 81. 1888, ,60l.22, which was paid
by 1916 retailers, 1sl wholesalers, So brewers
and 225 bottlers.
The Government of Canada has prohibited
the sale Of intoXicants among the Indians of
Hudson Bay Territory, and Furnishes severely
any violation of this law.
The man who "can take a drink or let II
alone" sometimes finds the former accom-
plishment the moro lasting.
In the West Indies the death-rate in yellow
fever times is about twice as large among
drinkers as il is among abstainers.
An exchange estimates that for every rich
brewer, distiller or salOon-keeper in the land
there are at least two hundred paupers.
According to the British Medical Journal
the medical superintendent of Burghill Asy-
lum states that more people were in the
asylum through cider drinking than through
any other cause.

How TO Avoid Cold Feet.

When the involuntary normal action
of any organ is disturbed, the weak est
part of the body-often quite remote
from the seat of trouble-is the first
to feel it and sound the alarm. A
habit Of cold feet may cause serious
diseases of both throat and lungs, and
these troubles are always aggravated
by sitting with cold extremities. The
predisposition shows a torpid circula-
ton in the lower limbs, and it checks
the healthy action of the skin over the
entire body. Sufferers from this
habit can never hope to be really well
until it is overcome, and they must
not only adopt every means to this
end, but must avoid exposure to severe
cold; never let the fingers become
stinging cold by handling ice, or hold.
ing them long in ice-cold water.
Ankle exercises taken at frequent in
tervals during the day will assist ma
terially in stimulating the circulation
of the blood. Point the toes down to
the EXTREMIST limit, till slight pain is
felt in the ankles, and work the feet
up and down in this way eight or ten
times; then devitalize them at the
ankle and shake them-just as dog
will rat. OF course such feet must
be clothed warmly, and if they are too
sensitive to bear wooden or cashmere
hose, silk may be worn under cotton,
with felt or wool lined shoes. DE.
