About one-half this vast amount of
land lies, it will be seen, in Alaska, and
it is very certain that this will never be
available for homestead purposes, but
for mining purposes its value in cold
coin may provo to be even greater than
though it were arabic. The larger part
of the balance lies in fertile and pro-
ductiye states and is all subject to hclno-
stead laws.

themselves Of tho 1noro liberal than

Messages From, The Sea.

A bottle dispatched from the steam
ship Guildhall ON May 81, 1894, when
in 46 degrees north, 81 degrees west,
almost midway between Brest and New
foundland, was picked up on Feb. 10,
1896, at Antigua, after drift of about
4,5oO miles. 1t had evidently passed
close to the Azores, the Canary islands
and the Cape Verdes on the way. An
other, thrown overheard from the sloop
Sapolio on July 20, 1892, travelled east
ward toward the Azores, and thence, as
IN the previous instance, until it was re-
covered near Turks island, north of
Haiti, on Feb. s, 1896, after drift of
nearly 6, 900 miles
A bottle message from the sailing
ship st. Enoch is probably the most in
teresting Of the 50 drifts shown on the
United States chart. It was sent off
when some 200 miles west of Sierra
Leone, under the influence of the we'll
known Guinea current, setting eastward
on to the African land The master of
this vessel noted ON the message that
she had experienced an easterly current
OF 30 miles during the previous day.
Hence there is reason to suppose that
this messenger was swept eastward I'M
til some incident occurred to transfer it
to current setting in westerly direc-
tion. Once on the latter route, however,
it passed leisurely along through the
passages of the Windward isles, escap-
ing contact with any land, followed tho
trend of the Atlantic coast of North
America till clear of Newfoundland,
and thence onward to Totabrough Walls,
Shetland islands, where it was found
on March 90, 1896, after having accom-
plished q record drift Of nearly 5000
miles in less than 1000 days.-Cham-
bers' Journal.

Treatment For Rheumatism.

The Russian peasants, more especial
ly those residing in the neighborhood
Of Moscow, have peculiar and origi
nal method Of treating themselves fol
that bane Of mankind, rheumatism.
Many cures, even in very bad cases, are,
it is claimed, effected by making the
patient take ant baths.
The manner of preparing these baths
is as follows: An anthill is sought and
when found sack is filled with ants,
ants eggs, and, if it be considered nee.
essary, certain quantity Of the earth
which composes the hill. The sack is
then closed Theoretically and carried to
the home of the sufferer. A warm bath
is already prepared here, and the sack
is plunged bodily into the hot water
Soon this latter begins to give off pc.
culiar pungent odor, characteristic of
formic acid. The bath is now ready for
the patients immersion. The action OF
the bath on the skin is one of intense
irritation, and the result seems to be q
drawing out of the evil, and the conse.
quent disappearance of the rheumatic
pains.
1t is advisable for any one who may
be tempted to try this remedy to be
careful not to remain too long in tho ami
bath, as the consequences might be
total disorganization of the skin, which
would peel off, due to the violent action
of the acid.-New York Commercial

The Newspaper Bogy.

E. l.. Godkin in The Atlantic claims
that the advertiser rather than the sub
scriber is now the newspaper bogy
He is the person before whom the pub
Usher covers and tries to please, and
the advertiser is very Indifferent about
the opinions OF a newspaper. What in
terests him is the amount or quality of
its circulation. What he wants to know
is how many people see it, not how
many people agree with it, The conse-
quence is that the newspapers of largest
circulation, published in the great cen
ters of population where most votes are
cast, are less and less organs of opinion,
especially in America. In fact, in some
cases the advertisers use their influence,
which is great and which the increas-
ing competition between newspapers
makes all the greater, to prevent the ex-
preston in newspapers of what is prob
ably the prevailing local view of men or
events. There are not many newspapers
which can afford to defy large adver-
tiser.

Wild Life and the Senses,

l made bold to say to DR.. Nansen that
thousands upon thousands of men who
were not specially interested in arctic
work had read his book with delight,
and that to me the marvel was not that
he could do what he did in the field,
but that he could write such a book
about his experiences.
"The best thing in it, to my notion, {"
l said, "is your description of your
dramatic meeting with Jackson on
Franz-Josef Land, and the best part Of
that was your reference to the manner
in which the wild mans sharpened
senses discovered the fragment Of the
soap which the civilized European has
used in his morning additions, ~
at is really true, " replied DR.. Nan
sen, THAT l could smell that soap as
plainly as if it had been q strong per-
fume. Johansen noted the same thing
when he came up. In fact, for several
days our sense of smell was wonderful
ly acute. AS l approached Jackson's
hut l thought l could smell everything
it contained and give sort of inventory
Of its stores without entering. In day
or two this acuteness wore off, and we
became quite normal in that as well as
i'll other respects. But l wonder if q
man were to live wild for few years
If his sense of smell would not become
quite as keen as that of an animal?''-

How 1t Felt.

A worthy old gentleman who had
never wandered far from his native
township before went to Boston one
day in response to an invitation to visit
a relative.
The Bostonian, in showing his friend
about town, took him to the top of a
tall office building. They took look
at the marvellous landscape spread out
before them and prepared to descend.
They entered the elevator. 1t began its
swift journey downward.

Wells In Sahara.

Artesian wells sunk in the Sahara
desert appear to find an abundant sup
oily Of water without going very deep
for it, and this fact may in time put a
new face Gin desert conditions, involving
important political, climatic and eco
nomical consequences. The English have
begun sinking them along the Berber-
Suakin road, finding water there as
abundant az it was in the regions near
the Nile when their first experimental
wells were put down. Flowing under
the Saharan sands there may be water
enough to fertilize cases all over it's
sterile ezpanse and rescue it in meas
ure from it's historic barrenness and
desolation. Some years ago q French
engineer proposed to cut a canal from
the Mediterranean to the lower desert
levels, thus creating new inland sea,
Or, rather, restoring an old one, but for
some reason the project was abandoned.
Local irrigation by means of artesian
oorings is more judicious expedient,
and, the English having pointed the
way ID this direction, the French are
lutte likely to follow it. Only narrow
desert belt separates their possessions in
aorth and middle Africa, reaching from
the Mediterranean to the Niger, and it
is quite worth their while to fertilize it
and plant it with palm groves and date
if possible, at any rate to pro-
vide water enough to supply their pres
emit caravans and perhaps their future
locomotives New York Tribune.

Where There Are No Old Maids.

In Greece it is considered an everlast.
ing disgrace to remain an old maid.
Girls are betrothed very often when
still tiny babies. Marriages of love are
absolutely unknown, even more SC
than in France, and the father is most
particular that the intended husband
must have an ample provision to sup
port wife and family. For the girl a
dowry is not so important as in France,
but certain amount of linen and house
hold furniture is generally required.
The whole training and education of a
Greek girl are simply preparation to
render her brilliant in the society of
the great world. Her toilet is a subject
of constant anxiety. Although most
Greek girls are naturally very pretty,
they begin to paint and powder from a
very early age-cheeks bright red, eye-
brows and lashes deepest black and
veins delicately blue The result is she
is withered old woman at 40, and no
where are uglier women to be found
than beneath the blue skies of lovely
Greece. Next in Importance to beauty
come languages. Every Greek family
who can afford it keeps French nurse
or maid, and French is universally spo-
ken in society. Painting and music are
quite unnecessary, but girls are careful
ly trained in dancing and drilled to en-
ter room and sit down with elegance.
Lastly, household duties are taught
how to make rose jam, Turkish coffee
and various delicate sweetmeats similar
to what we call Turkish delight. Phil
