Nature,s Cold Storage House.

In the valley of the Plethora river,
which flows from the Ural mountains
into the Arctic ocean near Nova Fem
bla. there is state of things which ia
attracting the attention of naturalists
and is only one more example of how
1udiciously nature does her work when
her primitive conditions are observed.
This valley has a sturdy growth of
orowberries, cloudberries, cranberries,
any number of small fruit bearing
plants, with heath moss and lichens,
some of which bear seed and fruit in
great profusion. An eminent ornitholo-
gist, in the course Of his researches III
this locality, stopped for little time.
There were millions Of acres covered
with these growths. The arctic summer
has perpetual sun. and the indigenous
plants and trees grow and develop with
great rapidly. The summer comes sud-
denly, and with il innumerable birds
OF all varieties but they come to what
seems barren waste, for there is moth
ing visible but snow and ice. Within FL
hours, however, this frostbound region
changes its appearance. The snow dis
solves. the ice melts away. and natures
bounty stands revealed. The autumn
SHOWS fall here and cover the plants,
with their loads of fruit, keeping it i'll
springtime, when it furnishes food for
the millions of birds that make this
their summer home. -NewYork Ledger.

A thaw had been followed by

dogs saw it they gave yelp like pack

on the Hawaiian question is recalled
by the news that full pardon has just
been extended to ex-Queen Liliuoka-
lani 10y President Dole and the Ha-
waiian Council of State. No greater
stigma can attach its odlum TO the
Cleveland administration than that OF
having abandoned and reversed the
Hawaiian policy of the Harrison ad-
mlnistration by deliberately conspir-
ing to throttle the young republic, to
restore n broken-down pagan throne,
and prop 1t up with American bayo-
nets. This program was only frus-
