AN ARCTIC NIGHT.
II Is the Most wonderfully Beautiful
Thing That Exists, Says
NRnsen.

Nothing more wonderfully beautiful.
can exist than the arctic night. 1t is
dreamland painted in the imaginations S
most delicate tints; it is color ethereal
lied One shade melts into another so
that you cannot tell where one ends
and the other begins, says Nansen in
his book, entitled "Farthest North"
No forms-it is all faint, dreamy
color music, far-away melody on
muted strings. Give it brighter eolors,
and it is no longer beautiful Over the
ice fields there are cold violet blue
shadows with lighter pink tints, where
a ridge here and there catches the last
reflection of the vanished day.
Up in the blue of the cupola shine the
stars, speaking peace, as they ale
ways do.
In the south stands a large yellow
moon encircled by yellow ring, and
light golden clouds floating on the blue
background.
Presently the Aurora BoreaIis shakes
over the vault Of heaven its veil of gilt
tering silver; it spreads, it contracts
again, in restless change; next, it
breaks into many=folded bands of shin-
ing silver, over which shoot pillows of
glittering rays, and then the glory
yanishes. Presently it shimmers in
tongues of flame over the very zenith,
and then it shoots bright ray right
up from the horizon, until the whole
melts away in the moonlight, and it is
as though one heard the sigh of a de-
parting spirit.
Here and there are left a few waving
streamers Of light, vague as a forebod-
ing-they are the dust from Aurora's
glittering cloak.
But now it is growing again, new
lightnings shoot up and the endless
game begins afresh. And all this time
this utter stiffness, impressive as the
symphony of infnitude.
To what end all this beauty with not
a creature to rejoice in ito This is the
coming earth-here are beauty and
death. But to what purpose? All,
what is the purpose of all these
spheres? Read the answer, if you Can,
in the blue starry armament.

THE SPIRIT OF TRAVEL.
Merchants, Mariners and warriors
the Only Ones Who Travelled
in OIden Times

People in old times rarely travelled,
except as mariners, merchants. or fight
ing men. Lord Beiehan, Of the ancient
ballad was, indeed, a pioneer tourist
when he shipped himself on board a
ship, strange countries for to sees"
but then, he was lord and could in-
dulge his fancies. Common folk were
stay-at-hbmes,
To-day travel is so general remarks
the Youths Companion, that those who
are denied the privilege feel as never
before the hardship Of having to deny
that innate gypsy instinct which bids
us wander while the world is in its sum
mer prime. Yet, after all, he is bet
ter and more fortunate traveller whose
mind only journeys, than he whose
body fares abroad by rail or steamship
while his mind remains unimproved.
The glimpse of tail spars at a pier,
the blast ofshore of a steamers siren
through the fog, the roar of train at
night with Redeemed smoke and SER
pent length Of lighted windows
hints of travel mean more to some
minds than others could gather in,
foreign tour.
.'Rome?" said one languid tourist.
"Oh, yes, that's the place for pearls
and striped silks; pretty, but they don't
wear WE'LL"
"I'ye Just been. to the post office,
exclaimed an enforced stay-at-home
ioyously, "and the mail ship sailings
were posted; and there was one Mail
for the Society islands and Samoa;
ship Tropic Bird Isn't it a whole
Stevenson romance in itself to know
there's a ship with such a name, bound
for Samoa? I can't go with her when
she wings, but I shall reread
the 'Vailima Letters, and wish her
luck"
If there were to-day fictitious gem
tie traveller, corresponding to the ever
appreciative gentle reader Of old-fash-
Toned literature, we may be sure the
spirit, not the tourist ticket, would be
his token Of admission to the guild of
the travelling elect. He would be one,
s;ay-at-home or wanderer, in whom
things strange, charming, amusing er
impressive find response everywhere;
who can feel sympathy with foreign
ways Of life and thought; who, open
eyed, open-minded and open-souled, de-
lights in the maryels and glories Of our
! wide and WondrOus world

said Mrs. Potwin. ''T know you won i
have time and you are wasting SO mucn
time grumbling that we won't catch
that train, anyhow"
You hurry along with your own
dressing" he retorted, "and leave me
to attend to mine There was silence
for a few minutes, then an ejaculation.
''The court plaster is in the little
side drawer, called Mrs. Potwin.
"Can't you come and cut ii for me 2''

his room, with handkerchief applied
to his cheek and was confronted by
his wife dressed completely, With her
cloak on and her neat umbrella in her
hand. He gasped aud then hurried
back and slammed his door. He was
ten minutes longer in the room and
then he left with his neclItie in his over-
coat pocket and his collar UMbuttoned
to run for the train.
''I'm going to town tomorrow to
pick out that hat, said Mrs. Potw4n,
as soon as she dared. Potwin looked
at her out of the tail Of his eye.
"You had that wrapper on over your
dress, you INSCRIPTIONS female," he
said.

VIII n. Harben IS rather serious ~
but be cannot resist the
temptation to play an occasional prac-
teal joke. A few years ago he and a
literary friend had taken chambers
in London near the British museum.
One day his friend came home with
tired look on his face and said that
he had been frightfully bored for half
a day By stranger from Chicago,
who insisted upon telling him all
about his success in inventing and
selling in America and England cer-
tain wall paper hanger. The stranger
was described as freckled faced and
short, and possessing a squeaking
voice, says the Saturday Evening Post.
A few days after this, while looking
at the pictures in the South Kensing-
ton museum, Mr.. Harden was accosted
by man who so thoroughly fitted
the description of the loquacious bore
that he knew at once that he had met
the same man,
Mr. Harden determined that he
would not submit to the mans famil-
iarity, and when asked if he were an
American, he answered frigidly that
he was,
what are you doin' over here?"
''What am 1 doing?" asked Harden,
trying to summon up some cutting
reply Really, my business is such a
peculiar one that 1 never speak of it
to any one"
ooh, come off," laughed the Chi
cagoan; "what is>ft?"
Harden stared at the red face for a
moment and then said: I'm mind
reader"
The stranger laughed boisterously.
81 don't believe in such rot"
"Oh, you don't ?" remarked Harben.
"Well, could convince you in a min
ute if L wished to. / could tell where
you are from, what your business was
in America, and what you are doing
over here"
The stranger laughed again. 'Pd
like to see you do it, he said,
s"Well," continued the author, ''you
are from Chicago; you invented a
wall paper hanger and made lot OF
money out of it in America; you are
introducing your invention here and
have started out well, but my impress
sion is that you will lose all your for
tune here in England"
The stranger -paled and his eyes
were starting from his head 'Ho@
did you know that?"
I'm mind reader" said the joker.

SCARED OUT OF his WINS.
PHOTOGRAPHER Was frightened. by q
Grewsome Object ON HIS
Negative.

A professional photographer tells 8
tale of a practical joke relates Lon
don Tit-Bits. One day a young man
came to sit for his likeness. To the
ordinary eye he looked like any other
young man, A couple of plates were
exposed and then the assistant wha
was operating went into the dark.
room to develop the negatives.
He was gone much longer than
usual and was hear, berating the
junior assistant pretty soundly for
playing pranks with the apparatus.
When9he returned to the studio he
asked for another sitting and apollo.
gized for having before used spoiled
plates. This time when he went
away to develop he was heard to ut
ter a slight scream, but he reap
peared and said there was a peculiar
effect in the negative which he could
not account for, and would the sitter
obige him again.
Once more he went to develop. Then
the bell rang violently for the master
and the two held short confabula-
tion in the darkness together. This
time the sieh tried 4is hand and
went away to develop. It was not
long before he returned and said he
was sorry not to be able to get a sat
isfactory likeness, but skull and
.crossbones appeared defined on the
young mans forehead.
Rubbish" said the sitter. 'My
forehead's all right, Can you see any
thing the matter with my forehead RI
and he peered into the mirror as he
spoke,
NO, there's nothing that 1 can see, y
answered the photographer, ''But I
should be obligeu if you will please go
away and not come here again. This
sort of thing is just a wee bit creepy. !"
Upon this there was dreadful
scene, but the upshot Of it was that
the young man had to go, and up to
the present has not returned. The ex-
planation Of tine matter is that the
young man was a bit Of scientist
and had been playing joke on the

The passenger capacity Of vessels 10
this part of the world is limited by the
number Of berths and staterooms the
ship contains. There IS no such limita-
tion in vessels that ply along the Anna
zon river, says the Youths Companion.
StaterOoms are a superfiuity ia them
for they are never used except by the
few foreign travellers, and then simply
in which to dress.
The passenger capacity Of the Bra
lillian vessel depends upon the hang
ing room for hammOclIs on the vessels
deck Everybody must have q ham
mock; for the staterOoms are unbear-
able at night Even IN the hotels ham
moclzs are more used than neds.
The Brazilian hammock is q thing of
beauty of costliness, too. The
Ledger Monthly is responsible for the
statement that the best of them cost
anywhere from 500 to $500. Those
made Of maqueira grass, with feather
lace trimmings, are considered the
finest. 1t takes from several months
to a year to make a first-class hams
mock. The featherworl1 is artistic ana
very cleverly put together. The feath-
ers are all in the natural colors and
are taken from birds of most brilliant
plumage. The Indians of the Rio Branco
region, on the upper Rio Negro, have a
great reputation for this kind Of work.
These hammocks win last a lifetime,
although they may be in use every day
and washed once month. The most
common kind Of hammocl5is Of German
manufacture, made of cotton and im-
ported, but sold very cheap. These are
warm, and keep out draughts uf air.
The best cotton ones are Of native
grown cotton, and are made 10 Maran-
hao, The grass hammoeks are much
/ cooler than any bed, as they let the
night breezes come through their
1 lOosely-WOven meshes.

CANNOT KILL CACTUS.
II Has Been known to Live fo1
seven Years in a Sealed
GiRaa Jar.

One OF the eommonest of. cacti in
gardens is the echinopsis multiplex, a
small sub-globular species, with five or
six sharp ribs, and sparsely sprinkled
with a few clusters OF long black spines
on the sharp edges of the RIB, 1t sends
up, occasionally, a LARGE white tubular
flower, which, like so many of the FAM
lily, opens at night and soon withers
away. In Germany a druggist, Ludwig
Rust, placed a specimen under a sealed
glass case seven years ago, and it is
said to be yet in a thriving condition"
to the surprise of the scientific men Of
Berlin, who are puzzled to know where
it obtains its carbonic acid Meehan's s
Monthly says that many suggestions
are advanced as to the. source of this
element. So far as the published ac-
count goes, however, there is no indica-
tion that the specimen was weighed be-
fore it was encased, or weighed after
its seven years Of entombment-no evil
dence, it may be said, thatany earbonic
acid was absorbed. It is Just as likely
to be a case of dormancy It is now
well understood tht in the absence OF
exciting causes dormancy in vegetation
may be retained indefinitely.
