From the Milwaukee Evening Wisconsin.
The Esquimaux of the Yukon region
have mastered the art of keeping warm
with little or no fire. They can live when
the thermometer is at 60 degrees below
zero with no other heat than that given by
a single lamp, reinforced by that of their
own bodies.
The lamp Is lighted and set in the mid
die of hut SO low that no one can stand
upright in it. Around the side of the hut
is a shelf. generally made of frozen snow,
and covered thickly with furs. On this
shelf the Indians lie in their sleeping bags,
crowded together as closely as they can be
packed. The entrance to, the hut is through
a sort of a tunnel, SO constructed that the
outer air will be entirely excluded. The
hut is thus almost wholly without venti-
lation, and when the lamp is lighted its
heat, with that Of perhaps dozen human
bodies. makes it possible for any one to
live through the winter in the hut, provi-
ded he can stand the unspeakabie foulness
of its atmosphere.

THE ORIGIN OF THE NEW JAPAN

The Restoration of 1868 found the empire in
resumption Of all the imperial prerogatives
by the eM psror. and the relegation OF the
shogun to private life. were not the results of
a sudden uprising or Of a hastily planned
revolution. The seeds of discomfort had been
long sown, the fruit was long in maturing
The government of the Shotgun had served its
appointed purpose and was tottering To its
fall. Doubtless it would have gone down in
any event before internal feuds and domestic
dissensions. But, strangely enough, the i'm
mediate cause Of its overthrow was one of the
most creditable acts Of its existence-the con
clusion Of the treaties with foreign powers.
The Japanese conservatives of that day OBJ
jecte,l strenuously to what they termed for
eign intrusion, and the successful agitation
against the shogunate was largely due TO
their initiative. But that the prejudice against
Foreigners did not extend TO the leaders of the
movement was shown conclusively by subse-
auent events. Their aim was the destruction
Of the illogical and unwieldy dual form of ad-
ministration and tho Capitalization OF the
powers Of eovsrnm ent under its Legitimate
selves Of all the various forms Of diseonten
and opposition to which the anomalous ad'
ministrative conditions then prevailing had
given rise, the anti foreign clamor among the
rest. But the true motive underlying the
movement TO restore the imperial prerogatves
WIS manifest at the outset and long before
the design had been successfully consummated.
lt,was declared by the emperor himself, when.
on March II, 1897. in the presence of court
mobiles and feudal lords he made solemn oath
that from that time forth administrative
affairs should be decided by general delbera'
ton; that both government and people
should labor for the good of tho nation; !;
n ths evil customs hitherto prvaiing
81 III be corrected and that the country
should he strengthened by adopting tho sys'
TENS of defcnee employed in foreign lands.
This OATH as was clearly understood, was
intended 10 bo the foundation of constitutional

THE PICTURE.

There r. picture I'm my room
No stranger eyes shall ever sec,
Fit food for mirth 10 them perhaps,
holy thing 10 me.
She labored in barren land.
Barren OF hills or river shore,
Barren of woods or prairie sweep.
Small things about her door.
Her face was brown with sun and toll.
Her eyes wsrc truthful. steady gray.
Her hands wcro nrm and fixed TO work
Through all the changoless day.
Between the tasks she painted it.
A child's cheap paint box all she had
The drawing, color, you would say.
Absurdly, wholly bad.
But she who held the wretched brush
In hands but used 20 WELD broom
Put all her starving soul in this.
Her love of bird and bloom.
She saw faint gold, sunset sky
That gloriied the brooding hills.
She saw the river still with light
Like a soul Gods presence fills.
She saw the birds fit silently
Homeward against that tender light.
She felt the fragrance Of the rose
Before the dew Of night.
Deep feelings made her heart grow great
Grow great within her as she wrought.
What II the hand that held the brush
Was rigid and untaught2
Tho poor, pathetic, faded daub,
With the cheap tints and shalty lines,
Grows glorious as a masterpiece
When once the eye divines
I, who have tried in halting rhyme
To tell the things my soul would sec,
Hang IL away from scornful eyes,
holy thing TO me.

The Education OF Marie Antoinette.

Miss Anna L. Bicknell contributes 70
The Century an article on "Marie Antoi-
nette as Dauphinc," which contains much
new matter drawn from the state papers
at Vienna. Miss Bicknell says:
Marie Antoinette .Josephe Jeanne of
Hapsburg Lorraine, archduchess of Aus.
tria and future queen of France was born
on Nov. 2 (fcast OF All Souls), 1755-the
day after the terrible catastrophe mt Lis
bon, when that city was nearly destroyed
by an earthquake Maria Theresa daugh-
ter was taught the correct pronunciation
OF French by two actors OF the Theatre
Franoais, while the French Able de Yer
mond was appointed TO direct her educa-
tion, which, however, was unhappily very
incomplete The writers who glorify the
maternal care and vigilance of Maria
Theresa arc contradicted by the most trust
worthy witnesses, the truth seeming 10 be
that the great empress, cngrossed by her
political cares, left her children far too
completely 10 the discretion of governesses
and subordinates, who were neither very
capable nor perhaps very conscientious.
Drawings were shown TO the empress as
the work OF Marie Antoinette which the
latter aftcrward declared she had never
touched, and this "make believe" system
seems to have been carried on throughout.
The Able dc Vermond directed only her
French studies, but although good and
well meaning man, the results which he
obtained were far frem ereaitablc TO hts
efforts. He does not seem to have had the
art either Of interesting her in any serious
pursuit or Of acquiring proper control
over her mind and character Her hand
writing even, as proved by autographs,
was utterly uniformed and childish at the
time Of her arrival Mt the court of France,
and her spelling was defective.

A Curious Superstition.

Among tho superstitions of the Seneca
Indians was this most beautiful one:
When young maiden died, they impris.
oned young bird until il first began TO
try its powers of song and then, loading
1t with carcsses and messages, they loosed
its bonds over her grave, in the belief that
1t would not fold its wing nor close its eye
until it had flown TO the spirit land and
delivered It's precious burden of affection
to the loved and lost one.-St Nicholas.
