suNBuRN IN THE ARcTIcs.

Sunburn Is quite fashionable at
summer resorts, hut to hear OF suffer-
ing from heat in the Arctic region
seems almost incredible. Lieut.. Glider
relates the experience OF his party
from this cause while one summer in
King Williams land, and declares
that probably nowhere on earth is the
traveller more annoyed by acute sun
burn than in the frigid zone. The heat
of ordinary exercise compels him to
throw back the hood Of his fur coat,
and by thus exposing his head, not
only his entire face becomes blistered.
but especially If he Is fashionable
enough to wear his hair thin on the
top of his head--his entire scalp is
affected about as severely as II a
bucket of scalding water had been
poured upon him. At a later period
Lieut. Schwatka's entire f.arty, while
upon sledge journey from Marble
island TO Camp DAILY, were so severely
burned that not only their fsces. but
their entire heads were swollen T.
nearly twice their natural size. And
a fine-looking party they werei Some
had faces so swollen that their eyes
we're completely closed on awakening
from sieep. When one was fortunate
enough to be able to see the others,
he could not refrain from laughing.

GAME IN YELL oWSToNE PARK.

All kinds of game except buffalo are
multiplying rapidly in Yellowstone
national park. There are thousands
of deer. elk, and antelope. During
the past season herds of elk numbering
from 200 to 400 have been seen at
various times, and deer are fully as
plentiful. Bears are getting too num-
erous and steps must be taken to get
rid Of them. They are so bold that
they will enter and take possession Of
camps of tourists and cannot be driven
ont. The laws governing the park will
not permit the killing OF them. Meat
must be hung in trees to prevent their
getting 1t, and cooks are frequently
driven from their tents by the anima,s.
The park has now been closed for
the season, and the small herd OF buff
falo have been removed to a small
inclosure near the Lake hotel, and
Capt. Waters, who put them there, has
returned to his home at Fond du Lac,
Wis In the spring he will return
them to the island and has great
hopes that large herd will grow up.
They are the only buffalo in the park
now, all others having been killed in
the past two seasons fy poachers.

SUFFRAGE IN CALIFORNIA.

The advocates OF woman suffrage
certainly cannot claim that they did
not have fair show in California.
The republican state convention in
corported a woman suffrage plank in
the platform. A number OF leading
newspapers Ii city and country ad
yocate it. Two leading San Francisco
dailies the Morning Call and the
Evening sustained the woman
suffrage cause and gave much space
to it every day. The state was thor
oughly canvassed by enthusiastic
women. Miss Susan B. Anthony and
Miss Anna Shaw "stumpedf the state.
Concerning their ability, their enthus-
iasm and their elCquence there can be
no question.
There was little opposition from the
press. Republican Journals which did
not advocate woman suffrage did not
at all events combat it. That was the
position Of the Argonaut We could
not conseientiously advocate woman
suffrage under present conditions, but
we RETAINED from opposing it, and we
gave some space in orv columns TO its
advocates. We even wont 50 far as to
refrain from printing number of
letters from women against woman
suffrage which by the way, outnum-
bered those from women in favor of
woman suffrage.
On the whole therefore, 1t is evident
that the advocates OF woman suffrage
had an unusually favorable opportun-
ity this year 70 battle for their cause.
They have failed fai ed mos lament-
ably, most disastrously. The voters
OF California are Overwhelmingly OPP
posed to giving the ballot to women

Almighty God in the exercise of His
Divine will in removing from this

hour of deepest sorrow. We can only

from whom alone true consolation is
gained.

A HAUNTED TREE.
The Coon Dogs Turned Trail When
They struck 1t.

Last fall party OF coon hunters
from this city We're in the woods in this
vicinity, and the dogs hunted splendid.
ly until they struck this old tree.
There they tucked their tails between
their legs and simply flew. They
whined and gave other evidences OF
fear, and could not be coaxed into
hunting any more that night. Finally
the hunters themselves became scared.
One of them declared he heard the
sound OF a voice as If from some soul
in deep distress. This settled it.
Every man in the crowd suddenly re-
membered that he had business in
town, and downward the whole layout
proceeded without furtherparleying or
loss of time. The next day an old
gentleman residing in Danville was
told of the occurrence, and he recalled
the fact that he had been one of q
party which had similar experience
near this old tree three years ago, and
he said that the spot had been haunted
for many years. A long time ago an
old gentleman by the name of Louis
Streat was murdered for his money,
and the murderer had dragged the
body to the foot of this tree and cover
ed it with dead leaves. The murderer
was never punished by law. A young
man named Henderson was arrested,
charged with the crime, and at his ex-
amining trial was liberated on $1,000
bail. He jumped his bond and disap-
peared some time afterward. Danville

A New Danger in Dogs.

The story is told in La Medicine
Moderne of seamstress who was in
the habit of allowing her dog to lick
her face. She was attacked one day
with a severe inflammation of the right
eye. Ocuiists were consulted, but
their treatment was unsuccessful, and
owing to the fact that inflammation of
the left eye was beginning the right
eye was cut out. In it was found a
tapeworm, which the dog had proL.s-
bly, picked up while licking some less
pleasing object than his mistress face.
The danger of the transmission of
parasites by dogs who are well-known
to be indiscriminate in choosing OBJ
jects for the exercise of their tongues,
to the hands and faces of their ma sters,
would seem to be a great one. 1t is
that accidents Of the kind
related happen as rarely as they de.

"A test of some of the highest ex-

nance ever manufactured in this coun-
try wiN be used in the tests. 1t is a

The gun was built with, the object of
experimenting with all high explo-
siTes, except dynamite, that the in
vertors may think can be carried in

authorities have made the walls of
the piece unusually heavy in order to
guard against possible serious acci-

caution has been taken to guard

REVOLUTIONARY WIDOWS.

Seven Pensioners Whose Husbands
Served Uuder Washington.
"Seven women are still drawing
pensions as the widows of men who
saw active service in the war of the
revolutions; women whose husbands
served under Washington more than
120 years ago." writes Clifford How
ard. in the February Ladies' Home
Journal. The eldest of these surviv-
ing widows of the revolution is living
at Los Angeles, Cal. She is Mrs.
Levey Aldrich, now in the 6Sth year
OF her age. Her Husband was. s..Private

year 1853, and served as a soldier boy
in New England campaigns OF the war.

Tenn, whose husband was Darling
Jones, q private in one of the North

Of the revolutionary widows, :being
now about SO years Of age. The other
five are Nancy Cloud, who is living at

Virginia, line: Esther S. Damon, of
Plymouth Uuion, VT, whose husband
was Private Noah Damon, of Massa-

who lives at Elk Mills, Tenn, and
whose first husband was Robert Glas-
cock, fifer in one of the Virginia
regiments, and Rebecca Mayo, living
at Newbern, Va, widow of Stephen
Mayo, a soldier from Virginia. That
these women can be the widows of
revolutionary soldiers is readily un-
derstood in view of the fact that their
husbands we're we'll on in years when
they married. As, for example, when
Esther Sumner married Noah Damon,
in the year 1s35-fifty-two fyears after
the close of the war-she was but p.
while he was 76. The last revolution
ary widow pensioner who had married
prior to the close of the war, and had
therefore actually lived during rev.
