A lady living in an unfashionable

pie at your house" his voice unoon-
soiously emphasizing the pronoun. In a
little book, about People, Mrs. Kate
Gannett Wells gives the following in
stance of lack Of good manners:
Snobbishness is not confined to one
SET of people. Emphasized by fashion
or literary pretensions, it spreads from
village to city. 1t exists in sardine fac
tories and in palatial mansions; it is
met with at pionics and dances as well

"the ladies are of a peasant style Of

distance in escaping from the 10y wastes
than was formerly thought possible. An
example of this was found In the expert
enoe Of DIR. Nansen and Lieutenant johann
son, who left their ship and Travelled 800
miles before they fell in with human be-
ings again or enjoyed the use of any food
OF articles of civilization save those which
they carried with them.
Arctic exploration in these times is not
considered specially hazardous, and prob
ably the world has seen the last of great
disasters to expeditions In that field. AS
a matter of fact, there have been but three
great tragedies in all the history Of arctic
exploration, though mankind has been en-
gagged in efforts to penetrate the polar
regions for more than three centuries
These were the disasters to Franklin, to
Greedy and to De Long, and not one Of
these trng edies Is at all likely to occur un-
der the methods now followed. From
these three oatastrophes has arisen the
popular notion that arctic exploration Is
exceedingly dangerous. In fact, many
people think the man who goes into the
polar zones is only adopting a slow and
uncomfortable way OF committing suicide
In the opinion of arctic experts the clos
ing days of the nineteenth century are to
witness the discovery of the north pole,
achievement of the feat which man has
set as a task for himself and devoted his
energies to for three centuries. Among
the scientific men of Washington there Is
strong hope that to an American will
fall this great prize In the race for the pole.

An emperor Of Germany besieged a

lasted for long time the emperor de-
termined to take it by storm and to de-
stroy all IL contained by fire and sword.
He did not, however, wish to injure the
defenseless women; therefore, he sent a
proclamation into the town, saying that
all the women might leave the place
unhurt and carry with them whatever
they held most precious. The noble
mans wife instantly decided to take
her husband. and the other women fol-
lowed her example. They soon issued
from the city gate in long procession,
each one with her husband ON her shout

with the noble conduct of the women
that he spared all; even the city itself
was left untouched.
