Another Search for the North Pole.

The Navy Department have given
Lieutenant Peary five years leave in
which to search for the north pole, he
will start about July 10th on a prelimi-
nary expedition to Whale Sound, on
the northwest coast of Greenland.
where he will arrange with the Eski-
mos for furs and provisions, to be
ready when he returns a year later.
In July 1898, he will start out to go as
far north as possible, taking certainly
two years for the trip, and possibly
four. His plan for next year is to
leave his ship at Whale Sound, push
up the coast with party of Eskimos to
latitude 81 degrees, and establish there
on Osborne Fiord, a colony and base
of supplies, which shall keep in con-
communication with Whale Sound.
The site of this colony he expects to
reach in September, 1898. After spen-
ding several months in collecting sup
plies, he hopes to make, in March, 1899,
a dash for the pole, overland as far as
possible, and then across the ice. Mrs.
Peary will accompany hel husband on
his preliminary expedition this sum-
mer, but on his final expedition he ex-
poets to have one civilized companion,
a surgeon. The expedition next
month will start from Boston, and sew
eral scientific parties will go along,
stopping off at Labrador, Baffin Land,
and Greenland, and rejoining the ship
on her return. .-Harpcr's Weekly.

CHURCH TROUBLES. -"Churches, like
families, should keep their troubles to
themselves. They are something with
which a stranger should not intermed-
die. They should not be much talked
about, even by church members, but
when they are blaZoned from house
tops they become towns talk, bring
disgrace upon the church and become
harder to heal. Everyone should have
enough regard for the credit of his
church and the honor of religion and
enough love for his brethren and re-
pect for himself to cover over the faults
and failings of those who belong to the
brotherhood. 1t is poor policy, as well
poor religion, to subject differences
among bretheren to the ridicule and
criticism of the world" Blazoning
church troubles from the housetops is
not the most injurious part of the
business. The worst kind of harm is
done when men and women who might
know better sit down in their homes or
in the social circle and rake over all
the miserable little differences that
exist in all the churches in town.
Some people never talk of any
thing in or about the church unless it
is more or less of an i'll odor. The
more rank the odor, the more val
uble they become.

Sweet Girl Graduates.

The sweet girl will graduate this
month at the High School commence
ments. The important fact that she
has quit school and entered upon the
important mission of her life will be-
gin to confront her. She can look
back to the sweet remembrances of her
school days as a dream in her life,
where she had passed so manypleasant
hours with her teachers and school
mates, in fitting herself with an educa-
tion would help her advancement in
the social world upon which she new
enters with no chance of putting off or
turning her back upon it. The pleas
ant memories of her girlhood days will
often pass before her mind as a dream.
The battle of life will begin for her
after she is handed her diploma.
which is treasured by her during her
lifetime. The different avenues of life
are now open up before and if she has
to become a bread winner for herself
and her family, she is fitted with an
education which gives her better op-
portunity to enter better paying posi-
tiOns than standing in stores or work
ing factories. The sweet graduate, in
her gown of white swiss or other light
summer material, which enters into
the construction of wearing apparel.
carries her graduation exercises always
in her memory and nothing but death
will ever afface it. If fortune enough
to become happily mated to the man of
her choice, she will always keep her
diploma with her marriage certificate,
as her two successes in life.

The TENNESSEE EXPOSITION. "A feat
ure of the Tennessee Centennial Fair
which excites great interest and uni
versal attention is the japanese day
light fireworks, which are set off in
the afternoon on the shore of Lake
Watauga. As the crowd stands watch
ing there comes a boom, and dark
sphere about as big as a six-pound can
nOn-ball mounts straight up in the air
about three hundred feet, and as it
curves, explOdes, releasing another
body, which mounts still higher, and
quickley expands into the shape of
some queer Object-a camel, deer,
dancing girl, priest, a man or an ele-
phant, a flying cock, hare on tor
tOise, a vulture, or one of score of
other shapes-all in brilliant colors.
The balloonlike objects hover for some
time in the air, rising and sinking, and
jOstling one another in their wavering
pOsies, until finally their bouyancy
gives out, and if they have not been
blown away, they, are fallen upon
by the children. The figures are of
course very big, so that they make
a good showing at a high altitude.
They are made of tough paper, and in
geniOusly folded into their shell.
Within each one is fuse, which, light
ed by the first explosion, produces gas
enough to distend and support the fig
ure to which it is attached. On Nc
Kinley Day at the fair there was an il
Elimination, and the show of these fas-
cinating fireworks was especially gay.
That display is the special subject of
Mr.. ROgers's illustration. -Harper'S

The TEST OF POPOcRACy. Says the
Nc,C York Sun: The Silver Democrats
of Ohio have published a call for their
State Convention, and in that call they
give an exact and unmistable descrip-
tion of what Silver Democratic, Pop
ocrate, or Democrat in good and reg
ular standing under the present man
agement is. The Ohio Democrats
say that those men are Democrats and
entitled to be represented in a Demo-
cratic State Convention who voted for
Byran in 1896 and are still loyal to the
Chicago platform, or who, for what
ever candidate they may have voted in
1896, do now believe in and support the
Chicago platform. Anybody who full
fills either of these conditions is a
Democrat; and nobody else is Dem
ocrat or can be declares himself ready
to stand on the Chicago platform.

The New POSTMASTER. More objec-
tiOnable appointment of postmasters in
Kent and Sussex counties to Union
Republicans could not be made even if
this object is desired by the federal ad-

E. Smith (the man who burned over
one hundred tax receipts that so many
Union Republicans might be disfran-
chised) who has been made postmaster
against the protest of every president
ial electOr who voted for Mckinley
'The Countian takes great pleasure
in endorsing Mr.. George E. Smith as
the appOintee for the Laurel postmas-
ter. 1t is the very best selection that
President Mckinley could have made
looking at it from a Democratic
standpoint. To George E. Smith aid

II have never had days sickness in my
life," said middle-aged man the other day.
"What comfort il would be-" sighs
some poor invalid, "to be in his place for a
year or two" Yet half of the invalids we
see might be just as healthy as he, if they
would only take proper care of themselves,
eat proper food-and digest it.
It's so strange that such simple things
are overlooked by those who want health.
Food makes health.
II makes strength-and strength wards of
sickness. The man who had never been sick
was strong because he always digested his
food, and you would become the same by
helping your stomach to work as well as his.
Shaker Digestive Cordial will help your
stomach and will make you strong and
healthy by making the food you eat make
you fat.

GIRLS EXPECT Too Much OF YOUNG
MEN.-'The average young man is
the agreeable fellows who earns enough
money to take care of himself and to
put by a little for special occasions,
writes Ruth Ashmore in the June Lad
les Home Journal "But he is not a
Millionaire, and he is not the young
man drawn by those illustrators who,
in black and white, give us so-called
society sketches. A combination of
foolish influences makes the girl of to-
day expect entirely too much for the
young man of to-day. She reads, or is
told, that when young man is en-
gagged to be married he sends his il
dncec so many pounds of sweets, so
many boxes of flowers, as well as all
the new books and all the new music
that may appear each week. If
there were more honest girls in this
world-hOnest in their treatment of
young men-there would be a greater
number Ofmarriages and fewer thieves.
Yes, l mean exactly what l say. 1t is
the expectation on the part of foolish
girl that a man should do more than
he can honestly, that has driven many
to the penitentiary, aud more to lives
of so-called single blessedness.

THE SEASONS FANCIEs IN BELTS. -
The belts are of fine kid, with silver,
gilt filgiree or enameled buckles.
The harness belts with severely plain
buckles are considered very stylish.
A new style of belts has two buckles,
one on either side of the front, to make
waist-line look smaller Leather now
may be had in all colors to match all
gowns. Black silk belts are most be-
coming to stout figures as they fit
closely to the form. Slender buckles
give a longer waist apparently. jew
eled and enameled belts are dressy,
but should never, under any consider
alton, be worn with cotton shirt-waists
or cotton dresses. Belts of all kinds
are preferred an inch and quarter
wide. June Ladies Home Journal.
