one OF the number. AS to the claim Of
the region by right of discovery, ! be-
lieye MIR. Arkell is too practical man
to base much hope upon such a founda-
ton. There are, however. hundreds oil
people all over the country who have so
little doubt OF his success that they are
willing TO Join him to any moderate
financial extent in the prosecution OF 1t.
He tells me he has been pointed out up

ARKELL's EXPEDITION TO ALASKA.
called at the Judge building, on the
corner OF 5th avenue and 10Th street,
this afternoon, and had a chat with Mr.
Arkell about his Alaskan expedition.
said Mr.. Arkell: The expedition was
planned by L. Glave, the African ex-
plorer. Glave had been in Africa as one
Of SANKEY'S lieu,ensnls, and having
gone through the unknown hot regions
oil the globe he was then anxious to ex-
plore some OF the unknown colder lands.
He made me believe that / could get a
large amount Of reputation and circu a
ton and news for Frank Leslie's by
sending an expedition Of ten men to ex-
plore the unknown regions Of Alaska,
There were from ) ooo to 4 600 miles OF
the interior OF ALASKA which had never
been touched by the foot Of while man,
and il was his idea to go over the noun
;ains and push his way north 10 the
Arctic sea.
"When | asked Glave what the trip
would cost" MIR. Arkell continued, he
said he would not need more than

A FARMERS OPINION.
This Information is Worth More
Than the Present Value of u
Bin Full of Grain.

In Sullivan County, about half a mile from
the village of Unity, N. H., there lives
good, honest, Woodworking tiler of the soil,
named C. E. French. Like every sensible
farmer, Mr.. French subscribes for papers,
Claremont weekly, his eye Glanced to catch
a reading notice which proved bonanza for
him and frightened up his tagging spirits
over the low price Of grain and farm produce
and the high price Of commodities which are
necessary for farmers existence. A farmer
reasons in his own peculiar way, and he calls
a spade spade; so Mr.. French says quietly
to himself: II want just such remedy as
Doan's Kidney Pills. If it carries out faith
fully half what it claims it will cure my lame
back. However much good may result from
one box, little or no harm can ensue." The
next time Mr. French visited Claremont he
made some inquiries at drug store about
the preparation, and was informed that
scores of people in Claremont and the sur
rounding country had thoroughly tested
Doan's Kidney Pills and published their ex-
perience in Claremont papers. This was
enough for Mr.. French. He purchased
supply, and what follows is his experience.
He says: "My kidneys have troubled me
ever since left the army, but for the past
five years have been going from bad TO
worse. l doctored and used various kinds
of medicines with little or no result. For
several years had constant, sharp, dart
ing pain across my back; in fact did not
know what it was to be without it. 1t felt
as though needle was run through me.
also had kidney weakness which was very
distressing and inconvenient at all times.
While in this condition saw Doan's Kidney
Pills advertised and so highly recommended
that l was induced to try them. Having
used so many medicines without relief |
must confess had little faith in them, but |
was agreeably surprised after taking one box.
/ am on my fourth or fifth now. Doan's
Kidney Pills knocked the pain in my back
higher than kite. My other weakness is
also relieved. They have done more for me
than all the other medicines | have ever
taken, and feel as though l can't speak too
well of Doan's Kidney Pills. You may pub
lish my statement, and hope it may benefit
Others who are suffering in similar way"
Doan's Kidney Pills are sold by all
dealers. Price, so cents per box, or six
boxes for $3.50. Mailed by Foster-Milburn
Co., Buffalo, N. Y, Sole Agents for the

London Cries And Street Sights.

Among the more frequent cries in
all districts, but particularly in the
crowded business and shopping sec
tons, are those Of the cabmen and
omnibus conductors. For example,:
pic Oily" "Ful inside" "'Igher
up" "Keb, sir? Keb, madam ~
and at the railway stations, "Glaws-
ter Row." "Igh Street" Ken.
zint'un," "King's Krauss," "Men-
shun 'Ouse," yves minister" "S'n'
Jimes-iz Park - Victawia," etc.
In London, as at home, many sale
able articles are carried on the head,
only London differs from American
cities in this being more frequent
custom. But in considering this
thought we must remember that
London is the most populous city in
the world, and therefore there are
more statesmen in it, and they must
take their own way to dispose Of
their stuffs. And odd as many of
their customs now seem, the London
OF the last century was more peculiar
still. For instance, among the cries
of that period were "Jaw-work up
and under jaw.work; a whole pot
for half-penny; hazelnutsl" New
laid eggs, eight groat-crack 'em
and try 'em;" and among the sights
was brick dust carried on the backs
of asses and sold for a penny quart.
And "Tiddy Dolly Doll, lol, lol, lol,
the vender of hot gingerbread, who
was counted king OF tradesmen.
He dressed as an individual of rank,
wore a rufiled shirt, white silk stock
ings, and laced suit of clothes. He
also wore white wig and a cooked
hat decorated with long feather.
He amused the people who gathered
around him by his nonsense, some of
which was the following:
II live two steps underground,
with a wiscom, rscom, and why not.
Walk in, ladies and gentlemen. My
shop is on the second floor back
wards, with brass knocker at the
door. Here's your nice gingerbread,
your spiced gingerbread, which will
melt in your mouth like red hot
brickbat, and rumble in your inside
like Punch in his wheelbarrow p
after which he sang "Tiddy Diddy
Doll, lol, lol, lol," and therefore his
nickname was Tiddy Doll.
Bat we must leave the old and
modern London cries and introduce
the monkey, who is indeed frequent
sight here, and, like Tiddy Doll, is
arrayed most Enthusiastically. He is a
prominent character, and collects no
end of money for his owner, the Or
gan-grinder. The first notice we
have of his arrival is from his mas
ter, who griods out the opening notes
of a familiar dance or song; scarcely
has he played one bar of the same,
however, before the monkey runs
up the hall door before which they
are standing, far enough to reach
the knocker which he lifts, allows
to drop twice, and then runs down
again, and waits expectantly. In
