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

Recent Expedition.
 Recent antarctic discoveries by the Belgian expedition, are described tn the Century for January by Mr. Fred erick 4. Cook of Brooklyn, whose arti- eie is very fully illustrated. An oasis in a snowy wilderness" is the phrase he employs in eharaeterizing a certain bit of the antarctic land. Being still unwilling to advance into the unknown fegien before Us while enshroaded in mist, we drew near Q prominent morn= 6ain peak to H3ke a debarkment. The tiff was q perpendicular cliff, free of snow to the seashore. It was one of lumber extending far into the south east, as we learned on the following 1ay. We made a debarkment at it's 9ase. Here was life in profusion, as indeed there was on every rock where life could gain footing. The noise from the birds, which re-echoed from tiff to cliff, was deafening. The lower rocks were lined with snoring and grunting sea-leopards. Columns of Yapor rose above the water. followed by 5t hiss like that of a steam engine, and a second later the blue back of whale. with it's long fin and ponderous tail, lashed the water into a foamy whirlpool. The great wall of land-iee rose to each side of the black cliff, which gave us a shelf as a landing place. From this wall came frequent sounds like the explosion of a cannon, which were followed by a splash and q commotion in the water. With such reports parts of the wall would con- stantly break away and fall into a mlI- lion pieces, strew:ng the water with small fragments of ice, but not with iceberga 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 the cormorants and sea-gulls Here the young ones dressed in gray down, coaxed their mothers for food. We ex- nected to see the little things drop from their narrow resting places, to be de- stroyed 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 vegeta- ble life and color After seeing noth- ing but ice and black rocks for so many days, this sight of green and brown and red amid an endless expanse of icy desert was a great relief It waS sss o-e ~ss ka. ~ ---si%~~e

Not the Right Names.

A salesman in a chinaware estab- lishment is responsible for the follow ing: "A day or two ago. said he, "a lady came in the store and began to examine some fine cups and saucers. Nothing suited her. At last, however. she found some that pleased her, and, smiling innocently, said: Now, these are very nice, and I like the way they are made. with different names on them. If I could find some with the names I want, I would take them, but all see read Tom and Jerry. y."'"

THE WORLD GROWING BETTER.
The People as Whole Infinitely not,er
Off rhan a Century Ago.

OH Than a Century Ago.
 That the world is constantly grow ing better is evident to any observer Who will take the trouble to look about him and compare present conditions "lth those existing a century ago. h contribution to a New York paper thls fact is strongly brought out by Prof. John Bach McMaster, the we'll Known historian. 4 century ago. says the professor, labor was performed in the south almost exclusively by slaves. ana ln the north largely by "redemp- uoners," who were in effect temporary slaves. When the redemptioner finally got his freedom he had to work for wages that would barely sustain life; or he had the alternative of pressing stern nature and bloodthirsty savages TOT the right to live. And woe be to the poor wretch who fell sick and got Into debt In New York as late as 1816 there were 1884 persons jailed for debt, and 729 of these owed less than S25 each, and had been imprisoned for spite" Today the workingman no longer tolls from sunrise to sunset, as he did then. He is no longer subject to imprisonment for honest debt. Wages a century ago were paid when the employer pleased. Now they are paid daily or weekly, and the 1aborer Is protected by lien laws. Railroads and machinery have enabled him to eat better food and wear better clothes than ever before. Increased blessings of the same kind are enjoyed by wo- men. Nor is the increase of happiness confined to any class. The steady march of civilization has made every body broader minded and more hu- mane. Diseases once the seourge Of the world are feared no more. A face pitted with smallpox is as rare now as 1t was common a century ago. Yel- low fever and cholera have lost their terrors with the increase of cleanliness Anesthetics have almost annihilated pain. Cheap books, magazines and newspapers have made ignorance and narroW-mindednes the badges of dis grace. Cruel punishments are aban- doned and a spirit of humanity and charity pervades the thought and the activities of the civilized world Prof. MeMaster may well remark that the man who can contemplate these changes and still be a pessimist is men tally diseas~S
