Arctic Exploration.

The Swedish government has made
official announcement OF the purpose of
Prof, Andree TO start from Danes
island near Spitzbergen, about h end
of June with his balloon in search Of
the North Pole, and has requested Off
cials in high ATTITUDES to report the
balloon II sighted. The government is
giving Prof. Andree's project hearty
support. and as his balloon house at
Danes Island Is already complete and
much OF his equipment is there. the
annoying delays of last year which
caused the abandonment of the attempt
should be avoided. Lieutenant Peary's
plan for attempting to reach the Pole
by a succession Of sledge journeys, with
bases of supplies for a line OF retreat,
annually renewed by vessels sent out
| for that purpose, has been approved by
the council OF the American ~Geographi.
cal society and aid promised.

FOR the Little Maids.

Gowns for little maids OF eight and
ten are SO dainty and duffy
that they easily make older folks en-
vious. Yet they are constructed on
healthful lines and will give the little
folk great comfort during the hot days
of summer. Many OF the gowns have
elbow sleeves and a few are cut low
In the neck. The skirts are short and
full; waists, not yokes. are used. but
they are hardly longer than those of
the empire period. When longer sleeves
are used they are leg-o'-mutton shaped.
The elbow sleeves, however, are short,
full puffs, gathered below the elbow
on a cording to give body, and adorn-
ed below that with a lace-trimmed
founce of the material. Lace enters
largely into the trimming Of children'g
gowns. Il is used as insertion be-
tween clusters of tucks on the waist
and sleeves and for the trimming OF
hounces. A model that will bear copy
ing for a rather slim child is OF vel,
low organdie. The skirt is full and @
the old-fashion round shape. Tnt
waist is round and plain. with a Low
neck and elbow sleeves such as naFt
been described. At the back it hal

more like a funeral than the preface

wish her JOY. But the faces OF the
bride and her mother were blistered
with tears. This being thought a bad
omen, the air was filled with lamenta-

the women TO turn back, and wait for
some more propitious time TO begin her

has been no direct evidence that II has
ever done so in the cases alleged. and,
with the object of settling the ques-

siye, from tests and experiments made.
that In any case IL. after a few days nc
fire shows itself. the charcoal may be
regarded as entirely free from liability
TO spontaneous combustion. The scare
caused by the supposed danger from
the ignition OF charcoal used In refrig-
Grating chambers may consequently bs

rect evidence exists OF It's ever hayini
