WANTED TO TRADE WIVES.
An Esquimau Chief who Became
EnamOred of Amert-
can Woman.

4 plucky little western woman, Mrs.
Laura McGregor, has recently returned
to the United States after trip of
more than seven months in the Arctic
seas, north of EehrinS strait. 1t is said
to he the first time that a white woman
Las spent an entire season in this
region Of tie great frozen north.
Mrs. Mc'ircgor is the wife of the cap
tain of a steam whalcr, and the trip was
made upon her husbands ship. Her
tlip was full of curious adventure.
Once, while they were trading with the
EsquimauX, celebrated chief of that
cegion actually proposed to trade
wives with Capt. McGregOr, and finally
became so nsistcnt upon making the
bargain that lie had to be forcibly
elected from the ship. The wife whom
he proposed to exchange for Mrs Me
Oregon was IA hideously ugly squaw
with swarthy features, who could not
speak Il word of English.
Mrs. McGregor kept her eyes open
during the voyage and brings back
many interesting stories Of the life of
the native EsquimauX they met. With
woman's quickncss for such details
She observed much of the life of the
natives of that region which would
scarcely be observed by a man. She
found the Esquimau women quite as
vain and proud of their primitive sur
roundiugs as the women Of civilized
countries. The squaWs begged for
every article of dress she had, and if the
chance came they would have no hesita-
ton in stealing it. As fast, she says, as
she could make "A wrapper or some other
simple article they would besiege her
for it, offering to exchange almost any
thing they owned.
The hats Mrs. McGrcgor wore were
objects of special admiration. They de
light in bright colors, and the more
gaudy the trimmings the more it
pleased them. Mrs. McGregor trimmed
a number of hats for them with the
wings of the native birds of the north
to their great delight-N. \. World.

FANTASTIC LAMP SHADES.

The almost forgotten Parian porce-
lain and octagon shaped cameo shades
are again coming in vogue.
A golf bonnet Of lowered silk shirred
on wires and trimmed at the edge with
lace is the latest thing in lamp shades.
In place of the ballet girl with wide
spreading skirts, who protected the eyes
from the flame, there are now shades
ornamcnted with faces and wreaths,
or fashion pictures and sporting prints
of We olden time upon vellum back
ground.

Ont AInntk Four Rnbbits.

A cat on the farm of Andrew Harris,
near McKeesport, Pa, has adopted four
baby rabbits in place of the litter of
kittens which she recently brought
into this world and which Mr., Harris
thought the world could get along
without. The day after the kittens dis
appeared the cat was observed carrying
something to the barn in her mouth.
Three times she was seen making the
same Journey, and then Mr.. Harris made
an investigation. He found, hidden in
the hay, three baby rabbits. While he
was looking at them puss appeared for
the fourth time, carrying another little
rabbit in her mouth, 1t was deposited
with the others, and she lay down with
them, purring with the greatest OF
pride and satisfaction. The young rah-
bits arc getting along finely. They hop
all about their foster mother. Mr.. Har-

money judiciously and literally is better able
to impart his Knowledge than the man who
has little or nothing to spend,
The Sun is the highest type of newspaper.
The Suns reports from ali parts of the

The SIMS cable service is the finest known;
the troubles in the Philippines and in South

Gratitude has been defined as "a
lively sense of favors TO come Like
most cynical utterances upon lii" and
conduct, the measure of truth II holds
is not so absolute as to make it a stand
ard for universal application. Here Is
a case in point: When the Klondihc
fever was rifest, a New Yorker, ont of
work, pcnniless and respondent,
touched the sympathies of generous
friend who gave him an outfit and sutii-
cient money to reach the gold fields,
The New Yorker prospered, and re-
turned home recently to find his bene-
factor dead, and his widow and chill
dren Impoverished.
At once and without solicitation he
not only returned his friends gift and
the cost of the outfit, but bought and
presented to the widow a small house;
and here, happy with her children, she
has taken up the trade OF dressmakng,
relieved from the anNieties of the flu
ture. Gratitude is not yet an extinct
virtue.-Youth's Companion.

President Lincoln, with his great,
kindly nature to which children and
music appealed so strenuously, was, of
course, passionately fond of flowers,
and during his administration the con-
servatories assumed a form very sim
liar to their present appearance. Very
often when Lincoln wished to be abso-
utely alone he sought the solitude OF
the conservatory, and those about him,
as soon as they became appreciatirc OF
this fact, exercised the greatest care
that his wish for privacy should be re-
spected. Often when the cloud of war
and desolation hung darkest over the
country the old gardener in charge
would come suddenly upon the presl-
dent standing dejectedly among the
foliage, his eyes bedimmed with tears.
