Earthest South.

It appears that the point reached in
the antartic circle by Captain Scott. Of
the exploring steamer Discovery, which
left England in 1901, was 2 degrees
farther south than was at first an
nounced. In his final sledge journey
he pushed forward to latitude 81 de-
grees II minutes, when he was about
AGO geographical miles from the South
Pole: It was we'll known that eI-
plorers have come considerably nearer
to the North Pole, less than 4 degrees,
or less than 24O geographical miles,
remaining to be crossed in the Arctic
circle. Captain Scott has unqucst.on'
ably shown that Victoria Land
stretches much farther south than had
hitherto been demonstrated, but 1t re-
mains uncertain whether the land e1-
tends to the South Pole. It Is said
that a rich collection of marine fauna,
including many new species, has been
made by the scientists attached to the
expedition, and we may take for grant
ed that due attention has been paid to
seismographic records, and to mag
netic and pendulum observations. AS

In the Ewes of Their Servant ?.

q A great many people live to please
their servants. They save and pinch
in order that they may spread them
selves before butler, maid and cook.
And, poor fools. they do not perceive
that butler, maid and cook thoroughly
understand the situation. But, serious
". trained servants are marvellous
critics. There is a family in our
SWEETEST avenue who will admit that
they also are qualified teachers.
Good manners are acquired by chill
dren in imitation of well-bred parents;
they are acquired by scrub adults
through social attrition. Mr.. and Mrs.
F.. who came here from the West three
years ago with barrels of mined money,
very wisely leaned upon their servants
for that education il good behavior
or etiquette which had been denied
them in the long period of their pow
erty. The butler they engaged was
formerly in the home of an epicure OF
great wealth. They paid him $1,000 q
wear and q commission on the menu.
One maid was tempted from leader
of the Four Hundred. another was i'm
ported from Paris, where she had at
tended the Countess Q. Fabulous wages
were paid. The footman came from
fashionable club, receiving three times
his former wages. From these people
the Westerners learned manners. ~
And they are to-day better behaved

A new issue of stamps has been
made for Iceland. The design con-
sists of the head of the King to the
Fight, inclosed by four bands or scrolls
containing the value above, the name
of the country at the left, the word
"postage" at the right, and the inscrlp-
ton "Chr.K.R.D." below. The work
manship is about the same as that
of the preceding issues, but the more
elaborate design requires better en-
craving and printing in order not TO
appear inferior. These stamps, both
regular and official, strike one as In
ferior to the former issue. Some of
the stamps are in two colors, and col
lectors expect to find them, sooner or
later, with inverted centers. The top
and bottom of the frames being alike
in the preceding issues of the stamps
of Iceland, such thing as Inversion
of the center could not occur; but with
a frame like those now printed such
errors may be expected, although

The Narration Of Birds.

The birds which travel by night IN
clude by far the greatest number OF
migrants. Among them will be found
the thrushes, with the exception Of the
robin and the blue5ird, which migrate
by day; the nuthatches and titmice,
creepers, thrashers and wrens,
warblers, tanagers, vlreos, most Of the
sparrows and f1nches, orioles, mead
ow larks, fly catchers, with the e1cep-
tion of the king bird. the cuckoos and
the woodpeckers. You will observe
that most of these birds have neither
very strong nor very rapid flight, and
consequently require the shelter Of
darkness to protect them from their
enemies. Moreover, most of them
take their food II small quantities,
and require some time to make full
meal. If they attempted to divide up
the day between eating and migrating
they would travel but slowly. SO they
journey by night, and spend the day
in feeding and resting.
The day migrants, on the other
hand, are for the most part birds
strong enough to resist attack or
swift enough to avoid it. They in
clude the horned larks, tit-larks,
robins, bluebirds, cedarbirds, swallows,
crows, nighthawks and chimney
swifts, humming birds, hawks and
doves. Some Of these-the night
hawks and chiMney-swifts, for e1-
ample-do not require to stop for food,
but feed on the wing as they travel;
the rest, although they may have to
stop for refreshments now and then,
are 80 swift OF wing that they can
easily make up for lost time. OF
course, there are times when some Of
these migrants are obliged to cross
considerable bodies Of water, and In
such cases it sometimes happens that
they have to travel during a part or
the whole of night.-Woman's Home

Kraerzein in topping the sticks

that leg over as quickly rs possible.
The other leg followed after, but it was
not dragged. 1t was brought up smart

his other leg was in the position It

athlete should remember when going

will not alight squarely on his feet, and
he will lose form and speed between

The ''grand round" of the eandi-

has begun and will continue until the
eve of the first primary, Aug. 6,
when every hamlet in the county will
have been visited by all the Office
seekers. This rather unique way of
campaigning has existed for many
years in that section. It is sort of
dress parade and defeated is the can

the rounds" Beginning at one end
of the county, every candidate from
constable to representative is supposed
to speak to the many farmers who
gather from miles around to hear
them, and it is at this tine that most
men make their choice for Office The
farmers provide for the entertainment
of their guests while in the section
gratis, and picnic is always held on
the day of the speaking. Watermel-
ons and lemonade are furnished by
the candidates in return for the edi :
bles brought by the farmers.

Money-Makinq Suggestion.

Girls who want to make little pin
money, if at all clever with the needle,
could earn a nice amount for them
selves by making fancy neckwear.
Milliners and dressmakers-and this
point is the meat of the scheme
have Odds and ends of silk and lace,
ribbons and embroidery by the hun
dreds. The pieces are too small to be
used in their own business, neither
have they time to devote to such
minor matters. These remnants they
would gladly sell for almost anything
offered. As 1t is ct present, they are
a dead loss. With but little outlay OF
capital, a girl could thus secure reg
ular treasure trove for neckwear, and
the best Of it would be that hardly
two collars need be alike. The piec-
es necessarily must be small. and so
her customers would know that the
smart, original stock she was buying
would not be sold again and again to
any one paying the price.
Original and striking neckwear is;
the craze Of the moment. and here is
surely an opportunity for a girl at all
clever with her needle to walk right
into good business. --Pittsburg lis

now out of favor. Anything that is
diminutive and thin-legged, with the
ability to tremble perpetually, is in
demand as a pet dog. There is little
or no breeding in these animals, but

es. -Four hundred dollars was the
