Pipe Made of a Seals Tusk.

A pipe made cut of seal s tusk was seen at the Weare office recently. The stem is nearly foot long and Is quaintly illustrated with representa- tions of life under the arctic circle.
 Tho artist was an Indian, and the little sketches in India ink show up very well against the ivory background.
 There is q reindeer about to fall un. der the arrow of an archer. There is | sledge drawn by dogs Fir trees tepees, fishing scene, where the eaptives are being brought to shore in net, are all true to life
 Another ornament of the same char acter is pair of walrus tusks, with de- hneations of other Alaskan scenes, with the fox and the white polar bear in eyi- denee; also an Eskimo leyeling gun at the latter
 It is said that to add to the terrors of overland travel in the long winter months the larger wild animals are of ten driven by hunger to attack the trails men, and packs of ferocious wolves will besiege q camp for days, attacking the horses and reindeer as we'll as the dogs More than one caravan has been done to death in this manner, as the whitened bones strewn along the tracks show.- Chicago Inter Ocean.

Some Expert Wisdom.

A United States government expert has been Investigating the food of what some individuals arc fond of calling the "slum people. The experts oonolu- sions are that the cause of much of tho poverty of these tslum people" is caused from their being too extrayagant in the purchase of food. He would have them get rich in the way in which most well to do persons who have about all they themselves want advise those poorer than themselves to adopt-namely, by reducing their expenditures. So, says our government expert from the depths of his well fed consciousness to tho slum reople: Reduce your ex- penditures. Buy cheaper food that will be better for you than what you now buy. 1t will likewise go further.
 Tho poor consume far too much but ter and eggs, the expert finds. They likewise buy quantities of buns and high priced meats. Let them stop buying eggs and butter and get prote1nsl says he, protoins being peas and beans mostly. Stop buying sweet buns or buns with entrants i'll them and get just plain bread. It costs less and is better for your insides. Quit buying round steak and pork chops and get cheap cuts. They are plenty good enough for you and be blessed to you.
 Thus far the noble expert. Let the slum people, take heed No matter whether they loathe dried beans and peas and cheap meat stews. That does not matter. slum people have no right to indulge their tastes. Let them live on beans and chuck steak stews and be thankful kind Providence has sent them government expert

George W Smalley, all American whose life fer the past 20 years has been one struggle to make himself over into a fake Englishman. was invited by tho courtesy of tho New England society i'll Brooklyn to partal1e of it's annual pill grim father dinner. The courtesy was a mistaken one, as the event proved. Mir. Smalley got upon his legs, to speak in true British fashion, and began abusing his own country roundly. His remark that tho only thing which had averted war between us and Great Britain at the time of Cleveland's message on the Venezuelan question was the friend ship and common sense of tho English people" was a small sample of all the rest of the Smalley diatribe against this republic and the glorification of Britain, dear. powerful and just Britain Every American heart is grateful to Senator Hawley for the significant and patriotic words with which he squelched the Smalley snobhery "I regret that my friend MT Smalley misunderstands the country in which he was born His homo is no longer ill New England but in old England.

 Chicago Labor Temple.

A movement has been inaugurated to erect in Chicago what every city of any size ought to have, building for the meetings of workingmen' clubs and societies The Chicago trades unions have taken the matter ill hand, and the temple they propose constructing, it is said, will be tho first of it's kind in tho world.
 It will be "a noble building, with gym nasiums, bathrooms, assembly rooms, reading rooms and large and valuable library Tho house will cost not less than $500, GOO. The rentals from It's va rious assembly rooms, offices, etc., it is expected, will reach $50, GOO year. It will haye the advantage over most houses built to rent in that its tenants are already waiting for It before spade full of earth has been dug for its founda- tion The 150 labor unions Of Chicago will be glad to find handsome home therein, one that will compare favorably with the millionaira's clubhouse i'll ap- pearanee and accommodations Ten cent monthly subscriptions have been suggested as method for raising the preliminary sum for the work. So great is the number of workingmen in Chicago that $1e, 800 month $50. GOO year, could be raised, as one working man himself puts 1t, ''by doing without two beers month. Two beors a month are not much to sacrifice for so worthy an object. Wealthy citizens would undoubtedly contribute literally also, so that funds for the temple could be accumulated i'll three or four years at most

In 1889 Secretary of State Blaine took tho position that Boring sea was mare clausum, or closed sea-in other words, private property belonging to the United States. This country therefore, accord ing to his claim. had the right to seize British or other vessels catching seals in those waters during the closed season In the United States. Great Britain re- jeeted this claim, and it was submitted to an arbitration commission, which de- eided against us. The United States had already seized number of British sehooners engaged in seal catching out side of the international three mile linn it agreed on as tho line beyond which country has no jurisdiction over it's shores. Tho decision involved, therefore, the result that tho United States would have to pay damages to the British seal CTS. President Cleveland and the Eng fish minister, Sir Julian Pauncefote, agreed on S425, 600 as sum which would cover tho damages Congress, however, refused to pass the bill author lzing tho paymonto of the money, dcclar- ing the amount too large. X commission was then appointed to fix on sum. It has reported that nothing less than SAGA, GOO will be sufficient. Congress should have let well enough alone.

Tho example of Miss Pearl Andrews, an actress and q young woman of ex- eellent character and family. is to be commended. Miss Andrews was arrested for shoplifting on the accusation of an alleged 'deteetiyen in a dry goods store. Not anything suspicious was found on her, though the zealous detective even tore the lining out of her wrap in the search Nevertheless the actress was forced to go to the police station and answer to the charge of shoplifting
 Aside from the fact thatn stolen goods were found in her possession, there was no reason why sho should steal, being in receipt of good salary and her par ents. with whom she lived, being well to dc. Tho detective swore she had seen Miss Andrews throw pair of gloves into the street when in danger of being captured. There was no evidence to support this statement, however, and tho young lady was honorably discharg ed. Now she will sue the firm for $25, coo, and servo them right for having a fool "detective' in their shop This silly detective business begins to be q bore, as 1t has long been farce,

WhisfIing the New Year In.


 A characteristic American custom is that of whistling the hew year in. Each Dec 31 steam is kept up in boilers till midnight. Just before the clock strikes the hour Of 12 off they go-lo eomotiyes, steamboats and big ocean steamers in the ports, factory whistles and tin penny trumpets = shriek on shriek, scream on scream. with din enough to wake the dead. The hoarse deep blast of the big liner does no moro than the toy whistle, for each makes all the noise it can. So does every horn sounding its note of the gamut between the two extremes
 Nervous people and cross grained peo- pie object to this din. They call it in formal or some other bad name and say it ought to be suppressed by law. Never theleas, nobody ever heard of any in valid's being killed by it or of anybody who was made really Ill.
 So let it go on. It is q good way to welcome the new year-to whistle joy ously as 1t comes in. We hope it will 1 bring to all mankind, even to people who don't like us much, happiness, health and prosperity. When a man goes by whistling, we know he is i'll good humor and has q clear conscience, wish ing we'll to all. If he were thief or . murderer or were bent on any mischief, he would sneak slyly and silently on ward If ho had any sin on his con- science or any eating, earking care on his mind, he could not whistle. His heart would be too heavy.
 So each Jan. lot us whistle the new year in. both literally and figuratiyely. If we have not big fog horn, let our toy tin trumpet squeak out merrily on the clear, mysteriously vibrating mid night air. Let us be glad we are alive. If during tho old year the ono that is dead, we made mistakes, hero is Q new pago direct from the Creator for us to write on without distorting the copy. The mistakes we made in the year that is gone were tho finger posts that show us tho right way for the road that is be fore us. In this sense it is good even to make mistakes. The things we did, but ought to have left undone, last year it is our blessed privilege to omit this year. The things we ought to have done last year, but did not, arc before us still for accomplishment.
 Let us be thankful that it is so and go forward to worthy achievement. The world is all before us still We are stronger and wiser than we ever were before, no matter what our age is, whether old or young With cheerful ness and noble pride, not with shirking or grudging, let us take up our load and carry it worthily through to the end.
 Let us whistle tho new year in with joy and gladness and whistle at our task all the year through afterward.

The Herald has cited number of instan- ces where single individuals are drawing from twenty to forty pensions each.

The present pension system is so rotten that it is re- dection upou every honest and de serving pensioner, and those who are honestly entitled to pensions should aid the Government in every conceivable way to rid itself of the frauds.

mutual understanding on several
important issues. The prospects
for Annexation appear at present
vague and indistinct, and our
destiny cannot be foretold with
certainty. There are those, also,
who still fondly cling to the hope
of a return to the old order of
things, and who cannot be per-
suaded otherwise, yet this out
look appears far more hazy than
that of Annexation even to the
most hopeful disciples of the
Monarchy. But, fortunately, in
the midst Of all this uncertainty
there is solace in the fact that
