Tho Flight Of Geese.

Wild geese conduct their migration
in an extremely methodical fashion.
The birds form themselves into lines
shaped like an old fashioned drag or
harrow. Sometimes there are two rows,
one behind the other. There are always
distinct leaders, but these very soon
tire, and BY careful watching with a
glass one may see the leaders drop back
and others take their places. 1t has been
suggested that this arrangement is ON
the principle Of ticket Office window.
and that all Of the ganders successfully
take the leadership. When weary, they
fall back to the rear and others come
up. If the flock is scattered by shot or
accident, they may Immediately form
again. New York Ledger.

After the Long Arctic Night.

The inhabitants Of the little villages
in the arctic circle have nearly three
months of steady night. 1t is the annual
custom that on the day when the sun
rises above the horizon after the long
season Of darkness the inhabitants all
stand in line, facing the returning orb,
and greet it with military salute. No
other effect than that of paleness of COM
plexion is discernible in the natives aft.

In Bodo the sun can be seen at midnight

May 20; in Hammerfest, or as far as the
North cape, the midnight sun may be
seen as early as May 10 or 16 New

Sulphur Baths.

Some Of the sulphur baths in Hun
gary and Bosnia are sights worth going
far to Sec
At one place, Ilidze, near Serajevo,
those who thirst for sulphur are shown
into small cells just like the cells Of a
prison. Light streams in family from a
small skylight, but the bath is not to be
discovered until the bather's eyes are
accustomed to the semidarkness and he
has been in the place some minutes.
Then he becomes aware that there is
in one corner Of his cell a small flight
of steps leading to a rough hewn basin in
the very bowels of the earth, so to speak.
The sulphurous water gushes up in
the basin, and the odor of it is not to be
described. Yet people travel hundreds
Of miles to enjoy it, and the doctors rave
about its medicinal qualities. London

Photograph Holders.

Some pretty photo holders are made
of inch ribbon and crochet rings.
The plainest may be made II times as
long as a cabinet photo The lower end
is finished with plush balls matching
the ribbon, and the upper end is fasten-
ed to gilt rod with chain for sus-
pending the holder. The photo Is held
In place by chain of crochet rings.
These are covered with crochet silk and
ornamented with narrow, scalloped
edge around the ring. Pretty frames are
Of pale blue. with bows of narrow pink
ribbon at the corners Of the ring chains.
A bow Of wider ribbon is fastened in
the center Of the space above the pic
ture. A writer in Good Housekeeping,
who calls attention to the foregoing, il
also authority for the following:
Another pair Of holders was made
from piece Of pink ribbon 20 inches
long. The corners Of the lower end were
turned back to form point. The upper
corners were turned forward to form a
similar point, and each end was finished
with three plush balls. A chain Of GRO
Chef rings formed frame for the photo,
which was placed about four inches
above the lower point. The rings were
covered with victoria crochet silk and
had crochet edge as described for the
first pair. The upper end Of the ribbon
was folded forward, 80 that the plush
ball suspened from the point nearly
reached the top Of the photo. A spray

ago that any purging was needed.
Then there is the matter of the con-
solidation of the little postoffices that
cluster about the larger cities which Mr..
Wilson began when he was postmaster
general and against which there was
such protest So grave an infraction OF
the rights of man was this regarded
that that good, loyal deputy Republi-
can, Mr.. German, introduced and con-
gress enacted bill preventing further
consultations. Now, however, we have
Assistant Heath, in whose division
these offices belong, urging the repeal
of that law, so he can take up the
work where Mr.. Wilson dropped it and
go on with it, and we hope he may
succeed. It is with sincere pleasure
that we make note of these continual
tions of the good policies of the CleVe-

the result of intelligent rehearsing. The solo
parts were well taken, and the auditors were

THEY ARE MARKED MEN.

Public opinion and personal shame
proved less efficacious last night, at
the meeting of the board of aldermen,
and other motives proved more potent
than our citizens had been willing to
believe. The street railway company,
which smilingly asserts its ownership
of st. Paul, and appears to have the
title deeds ready for examination When
required, won without an effort on the
first round On motion Of Aid. Shep-
ard-one of the gentlemen whom the
public will probably not forget-the
resolution declaring the company's
franchise for the Fourth street cable
line forfeited was referred to commit
tee. This was the first show of hands,
but the end is not yet.
There was of course, no more reason
for referring this matter to a commit
tee than there would be to refuse to
adjourn until the committee on garbage
should approve such action; great
deal less in fact, since there would be
a certain fitness about the latter. The
controversy with the street railway
company and the merits of it are ia
miliar to the most ignorant person in
st. Paul. The trouble with the board
of aldermen, however, is not ignorance.
This resolution had passed the assem-
bly, by a unanimous vote. 1t is de-
manded by every consideration Of duty
to the people of st. Paul; by every
feeling Of faithfulness to public trust.
There is no mystery, no secret about it.
It's purport is carried on its face; and
there is not an alderman who is not
as ready to vote on it now, and as well
informed, as he will ever be; unless he
ton which the public is not to share.
1t is important that this action
should be taken without delay or hest
tation The action Of the board is
equivalent to, an announced intention
to indefinitely postpone. But it will
have to go on record individually If
this shameful thing is true, if the
street railway company. can count in
fallibly on enough servants in the
council to defeat the peoples will and
surrender the peoples interests. we
shall know who they are, and the black
list will be kept we'll before the pub
lie eye. Last night gave some infor-
nation. There will be more. The men
who were elected to serve the interests
of ST. Paul, and find their occupation
in doing the pleasure of the street rail
way company and assisting it in it's
war upon our rights, our comfort and
our welfare, will be marked and re-
membered. Let them count the cost
before it is still too late. They have
lain in ambush a long time. Now they
will have to come into the open With
out prying too closely into their rea-
sons, we do ask them, when every
thing is summed up on both sides,
Will it pay? For, if we mistake not,
this is one form of treason that the
voters of this city will not forget or
forgive.
