FACE TO FACE WITH DEATH.
Arctic-ExpIOrer Greedy Tells of His
Rescue Mt Cape Sabine by
Capt. Schley,

Gen. Greedy tells, for the first time
the details of his awful winter at Cape
Sabine. Eighteen of his party Of
twenty-four explorers had persisted
from cold and starvation when Capt.
NOV AdmiraD Schley, heading a re-
lief party, rescued the survivors Just
in the nick of time. Summer crept
slowly on, but food came grudgingly,"
writes Gen. Greedy. Each worked to
the end, and even on the very morn
none ever knew that death would that
day touch him. One after another
passed, and when a mighty midsum-
mer gale from the south broke our
hitherto unterrified scientific obserya-
tions, there were left seven wan spec
tiers. There was not the physical
strength to raise the wind-struck tent,
and the end was in sight. Was it to
be life or death? 1t was foolish to
hope, for even now did not the mid
night sun, that marked midsummer,
from that very day June 2D leave us
with coming winter in utter darkness?
Had we seven, who were left, gone
through all those 27s days Of suffer
ing amid these icy scenes for naught?
But for all that there was a stiolg
faith that this gale must favor TIE
American ships that must be working
northward through the ice. And the

A SMALL Boys SCHEME.
ae Had an idea About Eggs Which
Promised n Splendid Result to
His Mind.

A small boy who is not familiar with rural
ways was taken by his fond mamma for a
brief stay in the country.
On a farm in neighboring county he
waxed fat and sunburnt and picked up a
wondrous store Of astonishing experiences.
One day the farmer smilingy said to his
mother;
"Just ask your boy what he hid two eggs
in the stable for?"
So the very first opportunity the mother
said to the six-year-old:
"My dear, what did you do with those eggs
you took from the hen house,"
ooh, mamma replied the boy, Il didn't
want you to know about it"
"Why, it's all right, said mamma, | only
want to know what my boy did with them. %
81 hid them in the stable, said the little
fellow
"And what for?"
Cause it's my scheme"
''Your scheme? And what is your
scheme?"
"Why, you see, mamma" said the little
philosopher, when eggs is horned in a
chicken house they is always little chickens
an fink if they was horned in a stable dey
might be little horses!"
1t is needless to add that up to the time
Of his leaving the farm the miracle was still
unaccompiished.-Cle Plain Dealer
