AN ANTARCTIC OASIS.
A Queer Discovery Made During the
Recent Expedition.

Recent Antarctic discoveries, by the
Belgian expedition, are described In the
Century by Frederick A. Cook. or
Brooklyn, whose article Is fully Illus
trated. IAN oasis in snowy wilder
ness" Is the phrase he employs In char
acterizing certain bit of the Antarctic
land.
Being still unwilling to advance Into
the unknown region before us while en-
shrouded In mist, we drew near prom
inent mountain peak to make debark'
ment. This peak was perpendicular
cliff, free OF snow TO the sea shore. 1t
was one of a number extending FAR into
the southeast. as we learned on the FOL
lowing day. We made debarkment at
its base. Here was life In PERCUSSION, as
indeed there was on every rock where
life could gain footing. The noise from
the birds, which re-echoed from clin TO
cliff, was deafenlng. The lower rocks
were lined with snoring and grunung
sea leopards. Columns of yapor rose
above the water, followed by hiss lik"
that of steam engine, and second
later the blue back OF whale, with lis
long fin and ponderous tail, dashed the
water into a foamy whirlpool. The
great wall Of land Ice rose to each side
Of the black cliff, which gave us "A shelf
as landing place. From this wall came
frequent sounds like the explosion of
cannon, which were followed by a
splash and a commoton In the water.
With such reports parts OF the wall
would constantly break away and fall
Into a million pieces, strewing the wa
ter with small fragments of Ice, but moo
with icebergs Above us rose a cliff TO
an altitude OF about 1000 feet; out from
this were projecting mantel-like rocks.
which served as resting places for cor
morants and sea gulls.
Here the young ones, dressed In gray
down, coaxed their mothers for food.
We expected TO see the little things drop
from the narrow resting places, TO be
destroyed on our heads or on the rocks
below, but such an accident rarely hap
pened. Our greatest surprise here was
the discovery OF large quantities OF
moss and lichens. which gave the spot
an unexpected appearance OF vegetable
life and color. After seeing nothing but
ice and black rocks for so many days,
this sight OF green and brown and red
amid an endless expanse OF ley desert
was great relief. II was an oasis In n
snowy wilderness.

Poor Babe /!

There Is young man In town VINO
has baby, of which he Is very proud
and fond. The other morning he beg
ged 1t from the nurse, and took the
youngster into the library. Sitting be-
fore his big desk, which Is one OF the
kind In which you pull down the re-
volying wooden shutter when you want
to close It. he ratified the pens and
paper-weights for the baby's amuse-
ment, until there came a sharp ring at
the front door bell.
Hastily laying the baby on the DESK
he slammed down the shutter and rush
ed to the door, 1t was a friend who
wanted to see him on business, and he
put on his hat and walked out with
him, forgetting all about the baby and
the desk.
When the nurse came to fetch 1t she
could not find it. The young mans hat
and coat were gone, and she feared he
had taken the baby out In the cold with
him. The house was In tumult.
When he returned half an hour later
without the baby he was met by the
nurse, who demanded its whereabouts.
The young man scratched his head
for a moment, and then turned pale,
rushed to the desk, hastily unlocked 1t,
and threw up the shutter. There lay
the baby, slumbering peacefully among
the ink-bottles, pens and paper-weights.

New Years is the national pay day
In China. All accounts must be squar-

can't raise money enough TO pay his
debts has to go into bankruptcy. The
laws are such that the creditor can en-

he pleases II there is no settlement
To prevent such action families club
together and make all sorts of com
promises to keep up the business repu-
tation of the clan. New Years Is n
great day for the pawnbrokers. Their
shops are crowded with people who
want TO redeem their best clothes be-
fore the new year. There are crowds
also who want to pawn other things
in order TO get money TO pay their
debts. Pawnbrokers receive high rates
of interest. in which they are protect
ed by the government
The Chinese paint the whole country
red on New Years day in more senses
than one. Red is the color which with
them denotes good luck and prosperi-

invitations are on paper of that color.

carried arms, too. and open threats
against the President were freely made.
Time passed. and the head Of the re-
public did not appear. Murmurs grew
into cries of derision. At last, when
the mob was on the verge of open vlo-
lence, the President arrived. He was
accompanied by about hundred
urghers. Slowly, and with evident
effort, he assembled the platform erect

uncoyering his head, he faced the mob
"Epithets too vile TO be repea ted

swore, and all but spit at him. He
stood unmoved, calm, and most uncon-

speech In Dutch, in his rasping, un-

still more unpleasant than his delivery.

chld's play beside It, In the Santiago

lsoldlers engaged. During the three
days lighting the American loss In
Killed was only Dds, or less than per
cent. of the total while the total OF
killed. wounded and missing is not more
than 10 per cent In all. In all the re.

been that 10 per cent. will cover the
killed and wounded In action, as well
as those who are taken to the hospital
on account OF sickness. Even at Gettys-

100000 troops were engaged, the total
percentage of loss on both sides, includ-

"Tbelr marriage customs are peen-

and does not yield until he has caught

father drags the youth up ladder to

drags up the maiden. They are then

A noted divine has declared that n
husbands grumbling and scoldlng
were often only his way of beginning
a conversation, and he maintained that
IL n man were sulky the worse he was
the more cheerful his wife should he.
Certainly husband and wife should
bear and forbear, he says, and the soft
answer turneth away wrath more eff
fectively by the domestic hearth than
elsewhere. Then business is often wor-
rying, and the husband coming home
needs and usually deserves to find
there all soothing and calming inf1u-
ences. But surely 1t should be mutual
kindness. At times the man must take
his turn In meeting irritability or low
spirits with cheerfulness and kind.

that the wisest and best course Is for
the wife of sulky, tyrannical man al
