Peary's Plan For Another Journey.


Lieutenant Peary is anxious to raise
enough money to buy sufficient provi-
sions to last him for ten years. He wants
to take but one or two men with him on
his journey and to get all the other peo-
pie he needs from among the Eskimos,
who are friendly to him, says The Great
Round World. His plan is TO make a
number of stations along his route to
the pole and to leave party of Eskimos
at each station.
The stations are to reach from the in
habited portions of Greenland up to the
lonely north. He means them to be like
inns on post road. By this plan ''e
thinks he can keep himself well supplied
with provisions and everything he needs,
and in case of sickness will always have
a station near to which he can return.
AS the Eskimos. with their wonderful
dogs, can &C back and forth from station
to station, carrying and fetching all
that is needed, Lieutenant Peary thinks
that he will be able TO stay in the far
north until his work is done and the
north pole has been located.

One reason given by the Carpet
Trade Review why people fail in
cleaning furniture coverings is that
they are too economical in the use of
naphtha. Tt asserts that it must be
literally poured on to be effective.
Standing in the breeze it will evapo
rate very quickly, and will destroy
every vestage of moths. If articles
are to be left in the house they may
be wrapped in damp sheets tight
ly pinned around them. This keeps
a certain amount of the odor in the
furniture for a long time, and renders
it doubly safe.
1t cannot be too strongly empha
sized that no light of any kind must
be taken into the room while naphtha
cleaned articles recently finished, are
there. The infla mable nature of
naphtha vapor makes it exceedingly
dangerous when brought to flame.

Athletes NAV Desert New York.

There appears to be disposition on
the part of college athletic officials 70
take all contests away from New York
city. Following the decision of the Yale
and Princeton football men to play no
more games at Manhattan field, the In
tercollegiate Athletic association is con-
sidering a proposal to hold the annual
track and field games on Franklin field,
Philadelphia. A few years ago Manhat-
tan field was sort of Olympian field,
where all contests of speed and endur-
ance took place, and to which the people
focked by thousands, but the glory of
the noted inclosure seems to be on the
wane. The loss is that of the sport low
ing people, who are thus deprived of the
opportunity of seeing the foremost ath-
letes in their championship contests. -

A young man fighting his love for
strong drink, and who had for some
weeks succeeded in controlling his
appetite, sat one day at hotel table
with gentleman and lady friend, for
whom he felt the greatest respect,
The waiter said to the gentleman,
"Wil you have some pudding with
wine saucer" eyes," was the answer.
The young mans craving for strong
drink was aroused at the mention of
the wine sauce, and he also was about
to reply aff1rmatively to the walters
question when his lady friend quick
ly said, Pudding without wine sauce,
if you please. Without wine sauce
came the young mans reply.
Afterwards in the parlor he said to
her. 81 want to thank you for doing
me great favor" She looked as
tonished. "You do not know what it
meant to me when you said at the
dinner table, Pudding without wine
sauce, if you please He then told
her his struggle against strong drink,
and how near he had come to failing
but was saved by her example.

Indoor Tennis.

"Indoor tennis, says an admirer of
tennis, has received little recognition
in this country, which is in marked
contrast to the interest shown for it
across the water. No facilities whatever
are offered by the numerous athletic
clubs of America for this branch of the
game. Last year, for the first time in
the history of tennis in this country, an
indoor handicap tournament was held.
The tournament succeeded in more way
than one. The discovery of so many
young players of decided promise was a
point for those who wish to see tennis
become permanent sport in this coun-
try. This game, far more than any other
sport, demands that one should begin
playing at an early age, if any great de-
gree of proficiency is expected. Proper
tionately there are probably as many
young players in this country as in Eng
land, but with the exception of the ex-
perience gained from practice and tour
nament playing, their training is left
entirely to themselves. Exchange.

YOUTHS DEPARTMENT.
In Burma During the Time Of Floods
Peary's Plan For Another Jour-
ney-T Two Little Kittens.

Burma, the largest province III the
Indian empire, is a beautiful and very
varied country, covered in many places
with forests which in the month Of
March are bright with the many colors
and sweet with the varying scents of
thousands of Towering trees and shrubs.
This country is traversed by many riv-
ers, the largest of which is the Irawadi,
with course of probably l, 100 miles
from its unknown source among the
SHOWS of Tibet down to the bay Of
Bengal. These rivers during the rainy
season (Which lasts for a long time)
overflow their banks and spread over
the plains, the flood water of the Irawadi
often flowing over the country for 10 or
15 miles on either side to a depth of
from TO IA feet.
The inundated villages, however, do
not suffer, as the natives, knowing what
they may expect during the rainy sea-
son, are prudent enough to build their
houses on piles, and the flood waters
move but slowly. But one can easily
imagine how unhealthy the flooded
country must be, with great heat and
a burning sun.
During the time of the floods all hunt
ing operations are carried on by the ma
tives from boats. These boats, which
are very light, are manned, according
to their size, with spearmen, paddlers
and steersmen. Hunting in this manner
is an occupation of great danger, as it
is impossible to guess what animal may
be encountered in the flooded country,
and Burma has long list of wild ami
mails, including the elephant, rhinoceros,
tapir, buffalo, many kinds of deer, tigers,
leopards and bears.
But the Burmese are an excitable,
impulsive and courageous people, and
they really seem to enjoy this sport not
withstanding the risks they run. They
are also anxious to secure hog or IA
deer, for, although their staple food is
rice, which is as cheap as it is in India,
the inhabitants of Burma eat fish or
meat daily, and in all respects live bet
ter than the lower classes of India.
Therefore, in going out to hunt over the
flooded country, these men are in search
not only of excitement, but of tomor-
rows dinner

Now is the time everybody is deciding what
to take for spring medicine. That remedy
should be taken which has the best record,
gives the best results, makes the most cures.
DIR. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy
stands preeminent as the greatest medical dis
covery of the age. 1t has demonstrated by its
countless cures among prominent and famous
personages whom everybody knows, as well as
among the common people everywhere, that
its record stands highest among medicines,
that its results are unequalled and unrivalled,
and that no other remedy in the world ever
made so many cures, such wonderful restor-
atoms to health as DR.. Greenes Nervura blood
and nerve remedy. This is the reason DIR.
Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy
should be used now-first, because it is the
greatest and grandest medicine earth, and
second, because everybody needs a spring
medicine, and DIR. Greenes Nervura is the
best and surest remedy possible to take. Hon.

great help. She now goes around the house
and is comfortable. All the reports that have
come to my knowledge, put DR.. Greene's Ner-

THE SPORTING WORLD.

What is the secret of the bicycle s
popularity? Why, simply this: AS far as
business is concerned it is cheap, eff
cient, practical, speedy and altogether
satisfactory method of conveyance for
certain purposes, and for such purposes
it is bound to grow in use. AS for the far
larger field of pleasure it has gained and
secured its hold because of the constant
changes and never ending novelty which
it brings to the rider. Other sports may
offer equal exercise or pleasure under
certain conditions, but the opportunities
are almost always limited. Sport which
must be confined to field, a track, or
some other special locality will not at
tract for any length of time many ex-
cept those who become particularly pro.
fcient. With cycling this is different.
The rider of a wheel needs not to be an
expert in order to secure enjoyment.
The old and the young, the weak and
the strong, can all obtain equal salts
faction. Each establishes his or her
own limit, and each can ride as far or
wherever he or she most desires to go.
There is no set rule and limitation, and
the opportunities for a constant change
of scene, for the enjoyment of the great
American habit of investigation and
the enjoyment of pleasures which could
not be otherwise obtained are such that
the novelty of cycling does not readily
wear off, Lack of time cuts off more dew
otees of the sport than lack of interest.

FARM NOTES.

Make preparations for the hot
bed. Lay aside lot of clear horse
manure for the purpose and get the
frame and sash in place, banking it
well. The manure may be placed in
the hotbed to heat and decompose.
Later this manure may be mixed with
that which is fresher, soil placed over
it and the hotbed made ready. About
six inches of rich soil should be on
top of the manure.
of crossing different breeds of fowls
there is a speedy tendency in their
f1ocks to run out. The reason is be-
cause the cross bred fowls are mon
gre Is, and unless always bred to a
pure breed of some kind, their proge-
ny cannot be depended on for either
of the good qualities of the varieties
crossed. In all cases where violent
crosses have been made, the moles for
breeding should be pure bred of the
breed that seems to predominant in
the first cross of chickens.
Grass land that was plodghed last
fall and left in ridges should be first
worked early with disc harrow, so
as to cut it up, and to do the work
properly the harrow should be weight
