DRIVING A DOG TEAM.
Flying Over the Shows of NOrtheFD
Canada in Rubber Skins.

The sled consists of a narrow box four
feet long, the front half being covered
or boxed in, mounted on q floor eight
feet long resting on runners. In this
box the passenger sits, wrapped in rab-
bit skins so that he can hardly move,
his head and shoulders only projecting.
In front and behind and on top of the
box is placed all the luggage, covered
with canvas, and securely lashed, to
withstand all the jolting and possible
upsets, and our snowshoes within easy
reach. An important item is the dog
whip, terrible to the dog if used by a
skillful hand and terrible to the user
if he be novice; for he is sure to half
strangle himself or hurt his own face
with the business end of the lash. The
whip had a handle nine inches long and
lash so feet, ard weighed four pounds.
The lash was of folded and plated seal
hide, and for five feet from the handle
measured five inches round, then for IA
feet it gradually tapered off, ending in
single thong half an inch thick and
IL feet long. Wonderful the dexterity
with which driver can pick out dog
with this lash. The lash must be trail
ing at full length behind, when jerk
and turn of the wrist causes it to fly
forward, the thick part first, and the
tapering and continuing the motion till
it is at full length in front, and the lash
making the fur fly from the victim.
But often it is made to crack over the
heads of the dogs as a warning. The
II dogs were harnessed to the front of
the sled, each by separate thong of
seal hide, all of different lengths, fas-
tened to a light canvas harness. The
nearest dog was about Is feet from the
sled, and the leader, with bells on her,
about so feet, the thongs thus increas-
ing in length by about three feet. When
the thong is good the dogs spread out
like the fingers of hand, but when the
snow is deep they fall into each others
tracks in almost single file. AS they
continually cross and recross each 9TH
er, the thongs get gradually plated al
most up to the rearmost dog, when a
halt is called, the dogs are made to lie
down, and the driver carefully olsen
tangles them, taking care that no dog
gets away meanwhile. They are guided
by the voice, using Husky" that is
Eskimo, words; ''owk," go to the
right; 'arrah," to the left, and 'holt," :"
straight on. But often one of the men
must run ahead on snowshoes, for the
dogs to follow him.-London (Ont.)

In Chase of a Record.

New YORK, Oct. lin chase OF a rec
ord the new North German Lloyd steam
ship Kaiser Wilhelm der Crosse, which
broke the westward record on her maid
en- voyage to this port, has set out on
her return trip to Southampton. Her
Hoboken pier was crowded with sight
seers and there was much cheering, wav-
ing of handkerchiefs and hats when the
colossal vessel backed out from her pier
and swung her sharp bow seaward. The
eastward record established by the Amer
lean liner st. Louis is days 10 hours IL
minutes. AS the new German vessel cut
1 hour 56 minutes from the st. Paul's
westward record of days and 81 min
utes, there is little doubt that the east
ward record will also have to GO when
the Kaiser Wilhelm der Crosse COM
pletes the voyage on which she is now
engaged. The vessel carried large num-
ber of passengers.

A Fine School.

the Sisters, is one of the best educational
institutions on the coast. The building
is of brick, large and we'll ventilated.
Besides the regular studies, especial eff
fort is made to instil into the minds of
the pupils a desire to form their hearts
to virtue, and to fit them to be true and
noble women. Gratuitous lessons are
given in all kinds of plain and fancy
needle word, knitting, embroidery, etc.
Pupils will receive the same watchful
care that would be given them by con-
scIentious parents. It is in fact an ideal
shcool and pleasant home. Those who

TALKS OF HIS PLANS
How the Explorer Hopes to-
Reach the North Pole.
HIS PROJECT IS A DARING ONE
Will Abandon His steamer at Sherrad
Osborn and Travel Over the
Ice With SIedges.

NEW YORK, Oct. 1.-When the whale
ing steamer Hope arrived at her dock in
Brooklyn, Lieutenant Peary and party
of friends were on hand to meet her.
On board the vessel were Albert Operti,
the artist, who accompanied the expedi-
tion; J. D. Higgins, DIR. M. F. Sohn,
ships surgeon; Robert Stein, OF the
geological survey at Washington, and
Peary's servant, SIX Eskimos and four
dog, the crew and the celebrated me-
teorite.
In an interview, Lieutenant Peary
said:
''I took observations to ascertain just
how much further north it would be pos
sible to navigate, and I also visited the
settlement of Eskimos known as Arctic
highlandsrs, who liye come 200 miles
north of Melville bay. There are only
200 in the entire tribe and L am ac-
quainted with every man, woman and
child. I picked out ten strong young
men and women and instructed them to
prepare for my coming next year.
"I want to say that 1 never asserted
that would find the north pole or die
in the attempt, but shall make de-
termined effort to find it, and l shall
have practically unlimited funds at my
command and five years. time.
81 shall sail to the most northern
limit possible, and then make a landing,
and on sledges carry all the necessary
outfit for a permanent camp to the
most northern land limit. 1t IS known
that land exists as far north as latitude
83 deg. How much further it extends
shall have to determine, and when 1
reach that point shall make perma-
nent camps and make them by base of
supplies.
''I believe the pole can be reached in
side of two years; believe, too, that 1
shall be able to sail as far north as Sher-
rad Osborn, 100 miles north OF Melville
bay"

CITIES MUST OWN THE FRANCHISES
This Is the Opinion of Ex-President
Harrison.

New YORK, Oct. Former President
Benjamin Harrison is quoted in an in
terview upon municipal politics in the
World as saying:
"Of special Importance are the safe
guards to be thrown about the granting
of franchises to the promoters of great
schemes for the public service. In this
respect there are valuable lessons to be
learned from late foreign experiments.
Some principal cities of Scotland have
assumed each the control of its street
railway systems and Its lighting plants
as we'll as its water works. The
results of this public ownership of great
public enterprises have been exceed
ingly satisfactory and instructive.
''I am inclined to consider municipal
ownership as the best means to secure
to the people the cheapest and best
service. Of course the effects of the
competition between private enterprises
are not to be lost sight of as far as they
increase quality and lower prices. But
the equal method of selling franchises
outright, or of receiving for them a
royalty seldom gives to the people more
than tithe of what the people them
selves later return. The bigger the
price and the larger the royalty, the
