Lieut.. Peary tells very interesting
story about little band of Esquimaux
who live on the west coast of Greenland
Jct@cen Melville bay and Kane basin.
{. hesc are the most notherly human be-
.Egs on the face of the globe, and in
;nauy ways they live almost like ami
muls. Their only property is clothing,
weapons for the chase and food, which
consists entirely of meat, blubber and
blood. o."
They have no vegetation of any kind,
and not even pinch of salt. Lieut..
Pcary has this to say about these queer
little people: "Is it to be wondered
1T that under these circumstances q
man offered me his dogs and sleds and
all his furs for piece of board as long
as himself; that another offered me
his wife and two children for a shining
knife, and that a woman offered me all
her possessions, which she had collect
ed Cor years, for 81 neCUe?"
These people are very generous, and
all the game captured by a hunter
is equally divided among all his neigh
bors. They have their own kind of ath-
letic entertainment, too, which includes
wrestling, boxing and tests Of strength
in the lifting of heavy stones.

NEGLIGENT VOTERS.

A study of the returns of last Mon
days election ID interesting as showing
how little many people care whether
they vote or not.
out of the $500 registered voters on
the roll | ,164 failed to vote.
OF the 1850 voters who marked their
ballots for mayor, S44 failed to vote for
treasurer; CSC failed to vote for comp
troller and LBS failed to vote on the
license question.
O. $50 registered voters in the First
ward 30S failed 10 vote for alderman,
and 325 failed to vote for supervisor.
This was the case in all the wards, to
ton naturally arises: Why do so many
electors fail to go TO tie polls, and why
do those who do cast ballot fail to vote
for candidate for each Office. OF
course, there may be good reasons for
many not voting absence, sickness, or
some other cause; but that so many as
/ ,1tii had good reasons for not voting Is
impossible. Again. why vote for a can
ddate for mayor. and not for treasurer,
or comptroller, alderman or supervisor?
1t is surely important that we should
have good officials and good aldermen
and supervisors. If those who failed to
vote were denied the right to vote they
would be indignant. vet a man who
fails 70 vote who has vote proves false
To his duty, to his conscience and 10 the
country, and the man who only votes
for one or two candidates is little bet
ter. \ duty half done might be better
undone. This evil is a menace to good
government, and the worst feature OF
It Is that it is the intelligent, educated
citizens who are the most guilty. How
they square their negligence with their
conscicnccs we cannot make out.

TIE RESULT.

The result Of the election on Monday
last was, as far as the choice for mayor
was concerned, a surprise to many peo-
pie including the successful candidate
who, no matter what he and his friends
might have said, had serious doubts as
to what the verdict of the people would
be. Most people thought the majority,
whatever way it went, would be small,
but even the friends of Mr.. Stark
weather, who love the city more than
they DO any man or party, are pleased
that the verdict proved as pronounced
as it did | removed all doubts as TO
to wishes OF tie people.
As for the TINES, while it has
no apologies TO offer, nothing TO retract,
il bows to the verdict, and extends to
Mr.. Dietrich lis congratulations, and
expresses the hope that he will be able
to accomplish all the good he has prom
Used to do during the coming year. He
las the people behind HIM and a coun-
ell in sympathy with him, and he should
have no trouble Perhaps the fear that
Mr.. Starkweather would have to con-
tend with hostile &C uncil did more
to defeat him than anything else. They
wanted mayor and council in harm
ony, and the wheels of government to
run smoothly. Mr.. DIETRICH, we have
no doubt, understands this, and will do
ms full duty.
The reelection of Treasurer Hunter
is a we'll merited reward for his able
and faithful services in that responsible
position, and the election of George S.
GIffin as Comptroller is not the less
pleasing. lie is young man OF good
business ability and unblemished repu-
tation, and will doubtless make good
officer.
With the result generally there is no
reason to feel other than hopeful for
the best. Those who have been de-
feated should-and We believe do-take
defeat in good part: and those who
have been elected must do their duty.
The peopte are watching.

Princcssss and Other Titled Women

1t Is a great mistake to suppose that
to be domestic is OF necessity a bour-
geois characteristic. A writer in
Truth points out that all of Queen
Victorias daughters were taught to
cook and sew and make themselves
useful. The princess OF Wales knows
all about scientific dresscutting and
another princess was not long ago
initiated into all the mysteries OF the
professional hairdresser's art There
is no better judge of needlework in
the kingdom than Princess Christian"
says the writer referred to. Many OF
the designs used in the Royal School
OF Art Needlework are from the clever
pencil OF Princess Louise. marchioness
OF Lorne. Princess Alice, mother OF
the present empress of Russia. used to
cut out her children's clothes and trim
their hats In the far-back days when
she was grand duchess OF Hesse and
was surrounded by the little ones.
Princess Henry OF Battenberg Is
skillful embroiderer, besides being an
artist and musician. Domesticity has

if we take a step down to duchesses

blue blood is usually associated with
taste for true British domesticity.
The duchess Of Abercorn can sew

MOST WOMEN ARE MiSSHAPEN
Straight Arms . Rarity Because of Pre-
vailIng Fashions in Dress.

The latest count in the indictment
Of tight corsets and sleeves comes
from a physician who declares that in
diligence in the two fashionable follies
named is responsible for many mis-
shapen female forms. Indeed. he de-
clares that few women are we'll form
ed. adding that practically all OF them
have either crooked arms or crooked
Representatives both. Inquiry among
teachers of physical culture ELECTS
pretty much the same opinion, and
all lay the deformity to causes speci-
fed above. The physician referred to
has this to say: Women are knock
kneed, bowlegged, too lean, too tat,
or only partially developed, and
straight arm Is very rare. Tight
sleeves, tight waists and tight corsets
are to be blamed. A man rarely has
deformed arms, because his clothing
is made to allow him an opportunity
to reach anywhere. and fashion does
not forbid him to swing his arms
when he takes his daily walk. BESIDES
being tight, a woman's sleeves are put
into a waist in such a manner as TO
prevent her from lifting her arms to
any height. The fashionable sleeve
Of the past twenty years has been
crooked, and women's arms have
grown as crooked as the sleeve. Bow
legs and knock-knees often begin IN
childhood, but they are finished by the
high heels and narrow, pointed toes
which distinguish the everyday foot
wear Of womankind. These deformi-
ties may be remedied by thorough
course Of physical exercises with
dumbbells and Indian clubs or any one
Of the excellent exercises now on the
market, and children can be saved
frcm deformity by care and attention.
The American mother is careless Of
ten-allows her baby to stand upon
tender little legs whose cartilages are
too soft to bear the weight OF the
body, and so bend one way or the 9th
er. II outward. the baby will have
bow-legs, and if in the other direction
knockknees will be the result. The
legs should be allowed to gain
strength to bear the weight OF the
body. Massage for both arms and
legs Of baby should accompany the
daily bath, and il there is slight
indication toward deformity the limbs
should be bandaged."

their brave comrades rest.
1t has been decided by the War De.
partment that the volunteers now in
the Philippines shall not be mustered
| out as long as they are needed. This
refers to organizations; Gen. Otis has
divduals who have good reasons for
wishing to return home, and special or
ders have been cabled him to send all
sick and wounded men home; also to
OF all dead soldiers, SO that there will
he no trouble about recognition when
it becomes feasible to bring the remains
home. The decision to keep the volun-
teers in service in the Philippines, al
though in accordance with the provis-
ion in the Army act Of the last Con-
gress, would probably not have been
made, if the men had not, through
Gen. Otis, asked to be allowed to re-
main in service as long as there was
fighting to do. This decision males it
certain that the thirty Ave thousand
volunteers, authorized by the Army
Act will not be enlisted. unless some
thing unexpected at this time shall
make their services necessary.
Not another cent, and no consent to
the issuing OF a single bond, was the
short and conclusive answer given by

dorsed the answer and said that it must
be accepted as the end of the matter.
The Military Court Of Inquiry has not
