young and attractive daughters He had

The list started out with golf and tennis
shoes. four pairs; cycling shoes, four pairs
and after those came what the girls would
have called their 'tramping boots for
mountain climbing and all that sort of
thing, adding up another four pairs, fol-
lowed by what as children they were won't
to call their dress up for each. a pair Of
very smart-looking patent leather ties and
four pairs of patent leather slippers, besides
four pairs of kid ties. some black, others
bronze; while each daughter was in need Of
two pairs of satin dancing slippers to match
her frocks. and besides pair each of white
kid ties. and finishing up with four pairs of
simple toilet slippers and four pairs of bath
ing shoes. The mothers bill was headed by
one pair of fishing boots, one pair Of half
boots. with rubber soles; then followed rid
ing AMI cycling boots, each one pair; walk.
ing boots and two pairs of dress ties pair
of patent leather slippers, one pair Of black
satin slippers, and another satin pair to
match a dinner gown, the list ending with
one pair of pale blue kid mules and one
pair of bathing shoes-the entire number for
the family amounting to fifty-six pairs of

CAMPING OUT IN WINTER.
The Rare Pleasure of Tentinx in tn
Snow.

The Rare Pleasure of Tenting I'm the
Snow.
c. Grant LaFarge in the August Atlantic.
The early morning of Thursday. the last
day of January, was clear and still. The
heavy snow storm Of the day before had
ceased during the night, leaving a new
layer, a foot In depth, upon that which al
ready lay deep over mountain and lake.
and piling itself high upon every branch
ard twig of the dense forest about U.S. l
had awakened at 3, still conscious of the
effects of yesterdays long tramp Of eight
hours following fresh caribou tracks
through heavy timber, and in deep, soft
snow, only to find that the waning day
bade us strike out for camp, for the further
route of our game was still to be disen-
tangled from a labyrinth of tracks, made
where they had stopped to feed. We had
eaten our lunch as we marched, delay be-
ing a thing to avoid, and fire out of the
question on so fresh a trail; and when we
reached camp again, just as darkness clos
ed in we were a tired and hungry pair. So
1t was with difficulty now that l summoned
up resolution to perform the duty of which
the biting cold upon my face and the snap
ping of the log walls of our camp apprised
me, and resisted the insidous argument
that / really was not awake. To leave the
snug shelter of warm blankets in order to
rake together q few almost extinct embers
nurse them into a glow, and pile the stove
full of wood is not an alluring task at such
a time: but campfire etiquette, sometimes
relaxed in the milder autumn season, must
be rigidly adhered to, even indoors, in
these long. frigid winter nights. Therefore
my companion and 1 had made the usual
agr cement that he who awoke should forth
with replenish the fire, and as his deep
breathing was now proof that nothing was
to be expected of him, 1 conquered my
slothful Discrimination, and roaring blaze
at last rewarded my efforts. 1 opened the
door upon such a night as only the north
ern winter can show.
Silence, absolute and supreme: the rich

great pale arc of the aurora reflected faint
ly on the white snow lying over the open
space of the river in front of US. But the
keen air allowed little time for more tn IN
a swift glance; then a match lighted show
ed the mercury at Is degrees below zero
not extreme, but cold enough to make blan-
kets desirable: SO 1 got back into them
without further delay, and fell asleep.

MIR. GARDENERS STATEMENT.
The Result of His Trip to New York
as To Party PrOApects.

Mr. Lawrence Gardner of the democratic
congressional committee has returned from
q trip to New York Of several days dura-
ton. during which he was in conference
with the party leaders of the city and state.
1.-The conditions for success as / found
them in New York. said Mr.. Gardner to-
day, ARE, in my judgment, very much bet
ter than they were at the same time in 1S!'2,
when, if you remember, the regular organl-
zation was opposed to Mr.. Cleveland, and
when we had to deal both with the state
organization and Tammany. Now Tam
many is undoubtedly with the ticket. and
will at the proper time give 1t its thorough
support.
II happened to be in New York on the
very day the state committee met, and had
an opportunity to talk with most Of the
members. In the primaries to be Eelu
through the state for the election OF dele
gates to the state convention, which will be
held September 16, the impression seems to
prevail that there are going to be some
very marked surprises. In New York, you
know, they never do things by halves.
Whatever they start to do they do thorough
ly and well.
1.-The third ticket movement has not much
hold on the old regular democrats. OF
course, there are number of them favor
able to it. but the majority of those who
look upon it with favor are men interested
in either the banking or brokerage business.
The great bulk of the men in the movement
is of that old disturbing element known as
'mugwumps,' who are not democrats at
heart, from principle, but who came to US
on account Of tariff reform.
They were tariff reformers, and. as the
democratic party came nearer their views.
they Joined us. They were not tariff re-
formers because they were democrats. This
element seems to have an idea that it con-
trolls everything, and positively has no con-
ception of what democracy means by bow
ing to the will of the majority. For every
1ncc 81,
from other sources.
There is one peculiar thing that found
In my conversations with men representing
this so-called sound money movement, and
1t Is this: The first question they ask is:
Where are you going to get your money to
compete with us? Showing that 1t is with
them entirely a question of money, and not
that of principle. They say further: 1T is
long time between July and November,
and by that time we will be able to get mat
tiers In shape that will prevent the election
of Mr.. Bryan
1T doesn't seem to be a question of try
ing to educate the people that their position
Is wrong, but simply that Of what money
will do. I am under the impression that.
for once, they will find this line of policy a
mistaken one. Personally, / am more than
convinced that the fight Is going to be con-
centrated in the congressional districts I
think the action of the Democratic Club
in New York the other night is a fair indf-
cation of where the regular party organiza-
ton will stand when the fight is really on,
I'm Boston the conditions are changing
very rapidly. The people there are aWak-
enfng to the idea that this is fight of the
masses against the classes"

date the Inauguration travel and all other
business of that character Offering
Asked as to the rates of fare between the
two cities. Mr.. Schoepf replied that
while that question has not as yet been
definitely settled, 1t was probable that the
cost would not be more than $1.25 for the
round trip, and might be as low as ST.
In speaking Of the amount of travel ex-
pected by the management of the new line,
Mr.. Schoepf said: Several years ago our
company bought an electric road near Pitts
burg, which was parallel to one of the Penn
sylvania's lines. At the time We took pos
session the receipts were about $500 day.
We extended 1t a little. and the receipts
jumped up to $4,000 a day. 1t may seem
strange but, while this travel was taken
from the Pennsylvania people. their losses
from that source were more than compen-
stated by the increase in freights carried
between the same points

How Whales Eat and Sleep.

The food Of whales has long been known
to consist Of minute sea crustacea Mr..
Gray was familiar not only with the
whales food, but observed its manner of
feeding, and the way in which it took its
nap latter meals" mo doubt" he wrote
whales are very particular in the quality
Of their food. for they are never to be
found feeding where the water is dirty, hut
almost invariably in clean, clear, dark blue
or light olive green water. The usual way
In which a whale feeds Is to choose a spot
where the food is plentiful. and swim back
ward and forward for 20 or 300 yards,
with the nose just under water. They in
variably swim from one side of the Leaf
back again to where they started from,
with their mouths OPEN They then close
their jaws and swallow the food caught.
'They will go on in this way feeding for
an hour or more; after that they will dis
appear under the nearest ice, and sleep
there until they come out for exercise or for
another meal. Unlike other warm-b FLOODED
animals, they do not require 10 breathe
through their nostrils while ASLEEP, and they
do. not do SO. Whales can sleep as we'll
under water as they do upon the surface.
as have often seen them disappear under
solid Ice and remain there for many hours
at time. Sometimes they fall asleep with
their heads down and only their tails stand
ing out Of the water"
