North Pole Companions.

Some curious details of life in the
polar regions have been obtained from
members of the Nansen expedition.
They all dwell on the feelings of de-
light which they have experienced in
once more meeting other human be-
ings. So tired did they become on see
ing the same faces and hearing the
same voices day after day in the course
of the slow drift northward that in the
end feeling of irritation was pro-
duced. At times this irritability became
wcll-nigh insupportable. Finding it al
most impossible to endure the sightar-
other day, they would set off on long
walks over the ice, each man by him
self. 1t was an astounding thing, one
man said, to see his comrades striding
away over the ice from the ship, each in
a different direction and carefully
avoiding his fellows.-Golden Days.

Energy Directed.

There is no danger so great for a
man or boy as idleness. If mothers
and fathers would save their boys, they
should give them something to do. Buy
an ak and saw, and let them chop
up that wood, no matter how large
the bank account Let them keep the
weeds from the garden and the tall
grass from the lawn, the dirt from
their own clothes and the dust from
their own shoes. Don't do everything
for them. 1t pays to teach the boys
work-not so much for what they can
do as for what it does for them. If
more boys could have piece of ground,
shop, place of some kind where they
could work off their superfluous energy,
we would hear less of truant and reform
schools In the matter of reading, too.
if you do not wish the boys to read
worthless books and trashy novels, you
must put into their hands good. we'll

How the Hardy Explorers Reached
This Land Is u Mystery.
How paleolithic men got to this land
for it does not seem likely that the
genus homo was Indigenous here-is a

bridging ice field which probably con-
nected Europe and America. However.
we know that he did get here, and, as
the first wandering bands of these old
hunters came, we know, too, that they
rivers and many lakes. 1t seems prob
able, from the finding of occasional i'm
plements in the older gravels, that the
earliest immigrants arrived while the
glacier was at its maximum.
One unbroken field of ice had spread
over all the north, covering Manhat-
tan island 1000 feet and reaching to
within so miles of Philadelphia. AS the
years passed, more bands of these hardy
explorers reached this land, and as the
second and later recessions of the ice
occurred, with accompanying flooded
rivers, it is likely that fairly dense
paleolithic population peopled our
river valleys. 1t was long time since
the first of their race came over the
ice; far distant past it must have
seemed-as it truly was to these later
day men.
To us the founding of Egypt is so far
away that it seems almost wholly myth
ical; but the time which elapsed be-
tween the period of maximum glacia-
ton and the later days of the epoch
was possibly five times longer. Yet
this is one of the short periods in the
LIFE history of the infant race. Such

The COSMOPOLITAN University.

A detailed explanation of the method
of instruction to be employed by John
Brisben Walkers Cosmopolitan univer-
sity has been made public as follows:
A student will forward to the university
his name and address, with information
as to his previous courses of study, his
occupation in life, the purpose for which
education is sought, and the studies which
the applicant desires to pursue-absolute-
ly the only condition imposed being that
the applicant shall pledge himself to a
given number of hours of study. Each
such statement will go to Dr. Andrews
and will receive his personal and careful
consideration. He will map out the course
of study which he deems the best possible
for the applicant in the light of the infor-
nation conveyed. He will then despatch
his own diagnosis of the applicants case
and prescription therefor to the most
eminent expert on the particular study
with whom he is acquainted This expert
will revise the course and the accompany
ing instructions, and will return the docu-
ment TO President Andrews, who will then
carefully go all over ii again, after which
1t will be sent TO the applicant. The uni
versity will then continue at the service
of the student for such additional instruc-
tion and guidance as Re may require and
he may at any time be examined on tho
sturdies he has pursued, If he thinks
himself prepared.
Already 14OO names have been en-
rolled and others are coming in daily.
Inasmuch as no charge is made ii
would seem that the institution ought
not to lack pupils, Mr.. Walker thus
explains the principle held in view by
him in establishing this free cores
pondence school for the people: "The
central idea is that of bringing liberal
education, in it's broadest sense, within
the reach of many who have the aspir-
alton, but are deprived of the oppor-
tunity. Environing duties or lack of
means are barriers which exclude
many bright minds from their fullest
ripening. As the result of the develop
ment of our public school system, and
the cheapening OF books, there has
grown up large class of men and wo-
men who seek either education in its
most extended aspect, or desire to ex-
tend their knowledge in special lines
But comparatively few of these are SC
situated that the great educational in
stitutions of the country are open tc
them. Yet 1t is of the highest import
ance to the republic and the general
welfare that education should be ex-
tended In the Intelligence of the
greatest number lies the hope of good
government and general prosperity

be of value to society show a steadily
increasing desire for small families.
That the normal condition of many
American women is continually tending
towardinvalidism,or or toward that queru-
lous and monotonous semblance Of it
which is quite as bad as real sickness,
is fact readily attested by physicians
and constituting, indeed, the chief
stock in their trade. How to remedy
this tendency and bring the feminine
moiety to more rational basis of
physical and mental health ought.
therefore, to constitute an important
problem of the hour, meriting certainly
as much attention from real reformers
as the issue about the retirement of
the greenbacks or 16 to 1.
We noticed recently in this city a
group of young women who had just
been graduated with honors from an
| eastern college for women. Presumably
they could have ratified off higher math-
| ematics or construed Latin or Greek
to the queens taste, for their coun-
| tenances betokened the wear and tear
of much mentaltoil and before the eyes
of most of the group were the intellec-
| tual-looking eyeglasses that told of
| premature and excessive straining of
the optical mechanism. But when these
young women walked we could not
| fail to observe that they bent forward
as If each wore straight Jacket, and
| took mincing steps as different as
could be from the queenly tread which
| is the natural stride of the American
woman of perfect development. 1t did
not require the gift of prophecy to fore
| tell the time when, of these young
women, a large percentage would be
| ailing matrons, to whom every little
| exertion would mean a pain, a cigh
| and a call for the doctor.
And while we are free to say that
this type of sweet girl graduate is be-
| coming less common than formerly she
| is yet far too numerous to justify re-
| Taxation of efforts toward the physical
betterment of the sex.

Tight Lacing.

1t is the opinion of one of the instruc-
tors at McGill Medical college that
"a man or woman who makes a tight
waist should be given a year of hard
labor in a penitentiary." This prac-
tical health reformer, in public letter,
says: Just as "a small foot never
supported a great character to quote
John Burroughs, neither does a tight
waist support a great brain. Tight
lacing is neither artistic nor fashion
able Let women read of the Venus de
Milo the best type of beauty known,
and they will find that the difference
between her waist and bust was less
than nine inches. The difference be-
tween the waist and the bust should
never exceed 10 inches"
The writer goes much further into
the details of his subject, alleging, for
instance, that the practice of tight
lacing is more responsible than any
other cause for the pains attending
maternity, and indirectly, therefore,
for the disinclination which well-to do
wives evince for maternity, In New
England this disinclination is fast be-
coming a social danger, for in that Sec
tion the census statistics show that
the population is already nearly sta
tionary with the birth rate steadily
decreasing, One of the most interest
ing chapters i'm Mr.. Bellamy's new book
is that in which he considers the vital
statistics of New England and points
out the sociological peril arising from
the tendency of the unfit to multiply
while those parents whose economic
and social status best qualities them to
rear and educate children who would
