To Explore the Antarctic.

The uttermost parts of the earth
have never been so sought out as at
present, and the Antarctic ir now at
tracing attention as well as the Arc
tic. A Belgian expedition sailed a
few months ago for the Antarctic re-
gion and the Royal Geographical So
ciety, London, has determined to take
upon itself the responsibility Of or
gouizmg a private expedition to the
same, though the expectation is that
Government aid will contribute to
the success of the important under
taking. All that is claimed to ue
known of the Antarctic at the
present time is that no approach to
the South Pole nearer than 720 miles
has ever been recorded; icy barriers
exist which eclipse those of the North
Pole, and mountains have been g.
covered of lofty attitudes, some of
these being volcanoes. Further, the
surface is covered with snow at all
times Of the year; no human being
has been met south of Sc degrees; no
vegetation Of any account beyond IS
degrees, and no land quadruped is
known to exist beyon,; SO degrees.

Modern Longevity.

In the seventeenth century the
average duration of life was only thir-
teen years; in the eighteenth, twenty;
in the present century it is thirty-six.
The great increase in the average
length Of human life is not, however,
an indication of an increase in the
vigor and vitality Of the race, but it
is rather due to the fact that cholera,
the black plague and other devastat-
ing scourges which formerly over
spread whole countries at frequent
intervals, sometimes several times
during a century, have been brought
more and more under control by im-
proved public sanitation and quar-
antine. The real rest of the vitality
Of the race is not the average length
of human life, but the proportion Of
.centenariaLs. The proportion of per-
sons who have attained great age is
without donbt at the present time
much less than ever before in the
history of the world. --Gx. .

There II no. econ0my In using acheap,
OH. It does not give 30 good Highland
Il very dangerous.
In selecting lamp it in well to choose
one with a shallow reservoir, for,n the
oil is at too great a distance from the
burner it tends to make the flame drop.
lower as the oil diminishes. Reservoirs
Of metal and stout glass are advised.
Wicks are Important. They must
fit in the full width of the wick case and
be cut off SO they will not lie along the
bottom of the lamp, as long immersion
in oil hardens them. If a lamp smells
or smokes without cause it is a sure
sign the wick wants changing.
Those who have their surroundings
spick and span and are afraid of lamps
smoking the walls and ceilings should
have tops to the chimneys. In putting
out light do not blow down the chin
ney; turn the light down and blow
across the top of the chimney.
Cleaning chimneys is q vexed ques-
ton. If they are washed and imper-
fectly dried they are apt to break when
the. wick is lighted. New chimneys, if
put in cold water and gradually boiled,
are not so apt to break afterward.
Burners must be kept absolutely clean
and fresh and at intervals should be
boiled in soda and water.
A point overlooked by people who
complain of lamps smoking and Civ
ing forth bad odors is that on no ac-
count must lamp be filled and lighted
after it has been laid aside unused for
some time until the old oil is all emp
tied out. The interior should be well
scalded and a new dry wick put in. In
fact, if a lamp is in constant use it
should be rule that the reservoir is to
be emptied and scalded once a month.

In the Ladies' Home Journal George

party of five people, including two wom-
en-, crossed the Rocky mountains at
South pass in 1886, six years prior to
Fremont's crossing. Concerning this
interesting historical incident Mr.. Weed
writes: "The first wedding tour across
the continent was in 1886. There were
two couples, Marcus Whitman, NJ. D.,
ana Rev. II. III. Spaulding and their
brides. They made the journey of $500
miles, occupying seven months, in a
wagon, the first to cross the continent.
DR.. Whitman, having visited the region
before, was guide to the new home in
Oregon. He was the first to make
known it's value to the United States

Weed of the famous journey, "the
highest plateau, the divide of the con-
tinent. In the pass the traveller reads
the inscription: Fremont, 1s42.' All

to the two heroines who had gone
through six years before his claimed
discovery. Let another inscription

pauses in its Journey. Patriotic words
are spoken as the Bible and flag are
taken from the wagon. The one is laid
on blanket spread upon the grass; the
other is raised over all. The kneeling

Thursday morning about 8 o'clock,
laying in the road some Is miles

He was in semi.unconscious condi-

and his feet are reported to be badly
frozen. Capt. took on little too big
a load in town last Tuesday and
started for his home in the evening.
He stopped at the Gem saloon in
Lane City for a short time and that
was the last that was seen Of him un-
til he was picked up by the stage
about thirty hours later. 1t was
only by tho luckiest chance that he
did not perish before he was found.

z Brooklyn has already felt the pres
sure for cemetery lands. The old
Union Cemetery, in which $4,000 bod
les are inferred, was closed few days
ago. Those bodies in it are to be re-
moved to Cedar Grove, near Flush
ing, excepting in the cases where rel
atives choose to have them removed
elsewhere. The trustees of the
Washington Cemetery, on Ocean
Parkway, Erooklyo, few days ago,
asked the Common Council for leave
to extend their grounds southwark
1000 feet, pleading that the $500 in
interments made there annually we're
rapidly filling the available space.
The Flatbush or Holy Cross Gene
terry has almost reached the limit, the
interments there numbering about
$4,000.
1t is believed that Calvary Gene
terry will not be able to hold many
more bodies. The interments
there have passed the 100000 mark.
They number over 10000 year.
Over 5000 bodies are received at
Greenwood annually; 1900 at Cy-
press Hills, 5000 at Evergreen's and
7,4l8 at Lutheran Cemetery. The ST.
lent population of Potter's Field, the
burial place of the city's pauper dead
is nearly 100000. During the year
ending Oct. Is, 1896. 4,2O7 paupers
were buried there. During the same
period Brooklyn buried $40 paupers
in her Potter's Field in Flatbush.-

SEEING THE POINT.

A boy returned from school one day
with the report that his scholarship
had fallen below the usual average.
"Son, =" said his father, "you've fallen
behind this month, haven't you?'
"Yes, SIR
"How did that happen?o
The father knew, il the son did not.
He had observed number of dime
novels scattered about the house; but
had not thought ii worth while to say
anything until a fitting opportunity
should offer itself. A basket OF apples
stood upon the floor and he said:
Empty out these apples, and take
the basket and bring it to me half full
of chips"
Suspecting nothing, the boy obeyed.
"And now" he continued, put those
apples back into the basket"
When half the apples were replaced,
the boy said
Father, they roll off. l can't put
any more in"
"Put them in, tell you"
but father, i can't put them in"
Put them in? No, of course, you
can't put them in. You said you didn't
know why you fell behind at school
and will tell you why. Your mind il
like that basket. 1t will not holC
more than so much. And here you've
been the past month filling it up with
cheap dirt-dime novels.

and said: ''Whew! see the hint"
