Senses sharpened in the wilds

made bold to say to Dr. Nansen that
thousands upon thousands of men who
we're not specially interested in arctic
work had read his book with delight, and
that to me the marvel was not that he
could do what he did in the field, but
that he could write such a book about
his experiences.
"The best thing in it, to my notion"
I said. sis your description of your dram
attic meeting with Jackson on Frarz
Josef Land, and the best part Of that
was your reference to the manner in
which the wild mans sharpened senses
discovered the fragment of the soap
which the civilized European has used in
his morning ablutions."
1T is really true" replied Dr. Nam
sen, that I could smell that soap as
plainly as If 1t had been strong per-
fume. Johansen noted the same thing
when he came up. In fact, for several
days our sense of smell was wonderfully
acute. AS I approached Jackson's hut
thought l could smell everything it
contained. and give sort of inventory of
its stores without entering. In day
or two this acuteness wore off, and we
became quite normal in that as we'll as
in other respects. But wonder if a man
were to live wild for few years If his
sense of smell would not become quite as
keen as that Of an animal"

FIRST NEWSPAPER SUPPRESSED
Boston Publishe Prevented From
Carrying Out His Ideas

It Is curious to compare the latter
day standards of journalistic enterprise
with those of Benjamin Harris, the pub
Usher Of the first English newspaper
printed in America. This was issued
from Boston press in 1890, and was en-
titled "Publick Occurrences, Both For
eign and Domestick." Among the aims
announced by Harris was to do some
thing toward the curing, or at least the
charming, of that Spirit of Lying, which
prevails among u.s." He therefore de-
clared that nothing should be admitted
to the columns of his paper save what
he had reason to believe was true, and
that in quest of such material he would
repair to the best fountains of informa-
ton.
In his very candid prospectus Harris
adds: when there appears any mate
rial mistake in anything that Is collect
ed, it shall be corrected in the next.
Moreover, the Publisher of the Occur
RANGES Is willing to engage, that where
as there are many False Reports, ma
liciously made, and spread among U.S. If
any well-minded person will be at the
pains to trace any such false Report,

CASTELAR, Compared With Gladstone

The position OF Senator CASTELAR, is
remarkable. No other man in Europe
enjoys like degree of reputation as a
political sage and statesman. Glad
stones fame is, of course, vastly great
er; but Gladstone is party man and
will be so till he dies If he lives to be 100
years old. CASTELAR, resembles Gladstone
curiously, notwithstanding the formers
inferior powers of intellect. The Span
lard is scholar, philosopher and
man Of letters. He owes his reputation
almost as much to literature as to pol
itics. His knowledge of history is ex-
tensive, if not profound. He has played
a great part on the national and internal
tional stage. Though a much younger
man than Gladstone, CASTELAR, retired
from active politics while the great Eng
lishman was still in the front Of the fray.

to exceed the movement of year ago. The
more cheerful feeling among manufacture
ers of iron and steel is based in part upon
expectations of a revival in demand. The
repeatedly announced Improvement in iron

this, upon large transactions in southern
forge iron at Birmingham and increased
strength in the iron ore market, furnaces

fairly busy on old orders, but failing to re-
port many new ones.
Encouragement is also received from
