EXPLORATION. I

has been student of the subject for
years. He has a library which is stocked
with books telling Of the various at
tempts to reach the north pole. That big
expanse of white at the tlattenned end
OF the school globes has always worried
him He wants to see it colored and he
wants to see it covered with American
paint.
1t is his hobby and when he came into
the navy department one of the things
that attracted him most was the like
aihood of meeting and knowing Peary,
whom he regarded as the best equipped
of all the arctic explorers and the one
most likely to achieve what they were
all seeking for. When Peary came back
to duty as civil engineer Darling be-
gan to think. He had a number of talks
with the explorer and discovered that
Peary still had longing to go back
ITO the polar seas, and that he had new
scheme which he believed would prove
successful. So without consulting Peary
further he proceeded to arrange for a
leave of three years and then told Peary
what he had done.
Of course Peary was delighted He
had not looked for so speedy an oppor-
tunity to put to the test the new plan
he had outlined in his own mind. He is
going to start out again. He will have
to raise the money for new ship which
he will call the Charles H Darling"
and he believes that at last he is going
to succeed.

ton, and thousands more in varioua
public offices throughout the United
States.
When he made the innovation Spin
ner was treasurer of the United States.
He held Office from 1861 to 1876, and his
peculiar corkscrew signature became
as universally familiar as the green
backs to which it was affixed. He not
only proposed the employment of wo-
men. but he fought for it. He was lucky
in having for a superior Salmon P.
Chase, who. as secretary of the treasury,
had finally to pass upon the question,
and Kate Chase Sprague, the secretary's
brilliant daughter, was warm cham
pion of the proposition. Indeed, there
are some who say it was her original
suggestion and that Spinner only fol-
lowed suit. But whoever made the
suggestion Spinner will always have the
credit of carrying it into effect
Now the women in the departments
are going to erect a monument to Spin
ner's memory. The movement was
started very soon after Spinner's death,
and IL years ago those who were in
terested organized themselves into the
General Spinner Memorial association y
Funds have been raised, the monument
has been completed-it will be of bronze
and congress has given permission for
its erection in the national capital
The government departments to-day
offer the most remunerative employ
ment which is open to women anywhere
in the world. The salaries paid will
average almost as much as those paid
y men and in many instances they are
higher.

held in place by wonderful old enamel
and paste buckles. The ermine lining
is turned outwards all down the front
to form stoles, and also appears as a
trimming on the quaint japanese
sleeves. The price of this cape runs into
four figures, and high ones at that. But
it shows how glorious thing real lace
and perfect fur may become in skilful
hands, while the shape is indicative of
the best mode in evening wraps at the
moment.
Ermine will be nsed both as lining
and as a trimming, but not SO much on
coats or for street wear in general. Sa-
BILE never seems to come amiss on any
garment, while a favorite trimming for
skating frocks later on will be golden
otter Or mink. I am told on good au-
thority that fur edging will be seen on
many of the cloth and velvet frocks
This is good news to people who have
had yards and yards of narrow fur trim
mings laid by for years.
There is great liking for purple
velvet, mixed with ermine, for evening
wear. Imitation ermine can be used to
advantage for girls evening wraps
Let me tell you of one have seen. OF
course, do not compare it for moment
with the genuine article, but at the same
time it was very effective. 1t was

with shawl point at the back, and

pretty imitation Bruges lace and ehif-

plalts and are put in double, one falling
well below the other and coming down
at least to the wrist on the inner seam,
with deeper droop at the outer seam.
In one form or another the full cloth
sleeve with frills appears again and
again among the imported models.
Even more numerous than the frilled
sleeves are the sleeves with close fitting
cuffs reaching almost to the elbow and
great fulness above. Here there is more
of room for variety of detail and there
are 1nnumerable ways of trimming the
long cuff.
Fanciful sleeves play a mighty part
inthe effectiveness Of the dressy blouses
which are lovelier than ever, despite the
otf-repeated cry that the separate blouse
is out of style. A full blouse depending
for cachet upon a picturesque and some

he could turn ferret or weasel into a
glorious creation! Indeed, the in
significant mole is still to the fore, and
the squirrel is treated in variety of
novel ways. The latter is beautiful
fur, and it is extraordinary how well it
can look in skilful hands.
1t will be good news to the possessors
of sealskin that once more this fur will
be very fashionable. especially in the
shape of boleros with pelerine collars
and of carriage wraps, mixed with sable
Sealskin always has it's price, whether
it is in the fashion or not, but good
furs good lace, and good jewels are
never really out of fashion. They may
vary little in the setting, but they are
always pleasing to the eye, and the SEN
sible woman will never part with such
glorious possessions. 1t is, after all, a
foolish individual who prefers an in
different novelty, which may at any mo-
ment become vulgarized, to genuinely
good article.
1t is never the fault of the leaders
times discard the genuine for the indif-
ferent imitation, and to-day the old
masters are more faithfully copied than
ever. From the crown of our head to
the sole of our foot we show much rev.
erence for the glorious workmanship of
bygone days.
Then in furs and lace we want every
thing of the best. Ermine and sable,
jewels and old point constitute the ele-
ments of really wonderful carriage
or opera cloak. The shape of these gar
ments seems compromise between the
Japanese sleeve and the 1880 pelerine.
The most beautiful are those of full
length.

Velvet and panne are often used with
fur and some furriers are using two furs
together, inserting one with another;
but do not like it.
For ordinary, smart street wear moth
ing seems to me to take the place of the
neat fur bolero, with it's voluminous col
lar, and shorter, fuller, cloth walking
skirt. In cloth the new mushroom shade
goes admirably with moleskin or squir-
rel, while brown, in a veriety of shades,
is worn with the brown furs.
l have not seen many fur toques at
present. Most of the toques worn with
furs are of velvet to tone, with chenille
fringe.

receiving his regular weekly salary just
as he used to when he was young and
spry, but with the understanding that
ne needn't do any work in return. Still
even up to the end he used to come down
to the Office to fix the files and once
week he would distribute the pay envel-

Patrick was a messenger for the Her

of responsibility was just as powerful
as if he had been managing editor. He
was legacy from the older Bennett and
from Charles Nordhoff.
Once on time new correspondent,

bodily and carry them farther north to
the north shore of Grantland, where the
colony will settle and form base of
supplies for the party which will under
take to reach the pole. This base of sup
plies will be within 500 miles of the pole,
several hundred miles nearer than the
base of supplies of any previous explor-
ing party, and thus affording just that
much additional advantage. Once there,
Peary will make up his party which will
consist of only one white man besides
himself. the others being Eskimos. The
entire party will consist of about 20
persons.
The dash for the pole over the ice will
begin on February 1, 1905. Dogs will be
used to haul the sledges and the party
will make better time than other ex-
petitions, as it will be small and every
member of it will have been thoroughly
trained in Arctic life
The Eslnmos can get over the rough
ice which abounds with far greater ease
than any white men, and that is the
main reason for confining the party
practically to them. IT will not be neces-
sary to waste time looking out for ex-
hausted companions. Peary hopes to
reach the pole and return to his base of
supplies in time to get back to the Unit
ed States early in the fall of 1905

HVomei The Latest Scientific Discovery
For The Cure Of Oatarrh.
The discovery of Hyomei has
wrought wonderful change in the
treatment of catarrh.
Prior to three years ago the medi-
cines ordinarily employed in the cure
of this disease were nauseating drugs
and worthless tonics. In some in
stances they benefited, but the i'm
provement was not lasting.
With Hyomei you take into the air
passages of the throat and head a bal
samic air that goes to the minutest
cells, effectually killing all germs and
microbes of catarrh. 1t enters the
blood with the oxygen, killing the
germs in the blood, and restores
health To the whole system. Many as
tonishing testimonials have been re-
ceived from those who have been cur
ed by Hyomei.
N. q. Durham, % Wellington St,
Boston. Mass, writes: II have suf-
fered from catarrh for a number OF
years. i have tried Hyomei, and
found it the only cure for this disease
/ ever used"
Perhaps the strongest evidence that
can be given to doubters is the fact
that Feldmeyer Bros. have so much
faith in Hyomei that they sell every
package under a positive guarantee to
refund the money if it does not cure.
Now is the time to begin the use
of Hyomei.
