FIND RELICS OF FRANKLIN.
Returning Arctic Explorers Bring
Mementoes of Former Ex-
petitions.

A. p. Low, chief of the exploration
party who recently returned to Ottawa,
Canada, brought back interesting relics
Of the ill-fated expedition of Sir John
Franklin. At Beachy island, the head
quarters of Sir John Franklin's party
and where also the Franklin expedition
OF 1858 pasesd its first winter, provisions
belonging to the Franklin expedition
were found and two graves marked by
wooden slabs. With them was a marble
slab given by Americans which had been
taken north by McClintock. There was
nothing to make foundation for it, and
1t was left lying alongside the graves.
Mr.. Low suggests material being taken
up by any future expedition to set the
stone properly. Among the relics
brought back was a cart that had prob
ably been taken out by one of the Frank
lin expeditions, and picture frames mads
out OF pieces of the wreckage of two
boats, one of which was mahogany life
boat. An interesting souvenir of Peary's
expedition was brought home in the
shape Of a picture of the Windward,
taken from Peary's cabin, which was
itself made from the cabin of the Wind
ward.
Surveys were made by the Neptune
party covering 2,041 miles. The popu-
lation of eastern arctic America was es-
timated at $500, based on statements
made by natives at the various points
visited. The population OF Bafinland
was put at 500. Indications of minerals
were found, but none OF commercial
value in the regions around the places at
which the Neptune stopped. The Nep-
tune sailed altogether about 10, 900 miles,
1000 of which were through ice, which is
thought to be probably the greatest ice
mileage on record in an equal period of
time, Ia months. The northernmost
point reached was Cape Sabine, in
Smiths sound famous as the headquar-
ters of many polar and polar relief ex-
petitions

This is one proof of the conservatism

Another proof is that for "a years

republic, casting aside conservatism,
considers that it is old enough to have
a seal of its own. Vernon, the cele-

There Is the young duke of Sake

most courageous generals in the czar's

One OF the best catches is Grand
Duke Michael OF Russia, SO years old

Shakespeare Bible Sold.

Little interest was displayed in the
sale OF the Shakespeare Bible, which
recently took place at London. Bid
ding on the souvenir opened at $1OO
and rose slowly to S1,O50, at which
price It was sold. The book went to
America. If the signatures therein
are those of the bard of Avon the
value of the book is ten times the
amount paid. Experts, however, raised
a question as to the genuineness of the
poets signature.

HOMEGROWN Alfalfa Seed.

Reports from Michigan farmers
on plats seeded to alfalfa show the
folly of using seed imported from Eu-
rope, rather than the home grown
seed. The imported seed has a less
vitality and does not 1htch so well,
and also has lower per cent OF ger
mination. While these two points ara
enough to enable the farmer to see
that the home grown seed is clearly
the best, there Is one more serious
objection TO the imported seed. Most
of 1t Is found to contain large amount
OF weed seed, the most troublesome
ones being dodder and buckthOrn.
One man invested something over a
hundred dollars in European seed, the
result from which was almost absolute
failure, although different plats were
sown in varying ways, some with a
nurse crop, others without, Neghbors
who used the home grown seed got
good results, as the past season has
been an especially favorable one to get
a good catch.

Buttons Out of Fruit Seeds.

In Central America there is a fruit
producing palm which has quite meta
morphosed the button business and
formed the nucleus of one of the most
important Industries. The seed of this
fruit contains a milk that is sweet to
the taste and is relished by the ma
tiyes. The milk, when allowed to re-
main in the nut long enough, becomes
hardened, and turns into substance
as hard as the ivory from an ele-
plants tusks. The plant which pro-
duces these nuts IS called the ivory

ceivable design, color, grade, and elias.

Passing Of Saw and Ak.

A United States Consul reports that
in France trees are being felled by cleo
tricity-not struck by lightning, as in
the old time way-the work being
done by a platinum wire made white
hot with a current of electricity and
used as saw. A tree Is cut down in
one-eighth the time consumed by the
ordinary methods OF saving or chop
ping. If trees can be felled in this
way their trunks can also be cut into
logs and the logs into boards by a
slender wire instead Of the cumbrous
saw. Is the coming wood or lumber

Never buy an animal simply because

for him to hear.
"Yes, that's it," went on Jones.
Then he fixed his eyes on a point in
the roof and blurted out In jerks and
starts, as the odd lines came before
him, the following effusion:
The boy stood on the burning deck,
He-he stood upon his head,
Because his arms and legs were off,
So he waved his arms and said
My name is Norval. On the Grampian
Hills
The village smithy stands;
The smith, mighty man, was-was
wrecked,
On the pitiless Goodwin Sands.
And by him sported on the green
His little grandchild Wilhelmine;
Teh doctors had given him up, sir,
The darling of our crew!
And-and the cheek of Argyll grew dead
ly pale,
And we rushed for the signal rockets.
Lets fire them quick" we cried,
And the good Abbot Of Aberbrothock
plunged headlong into the tide.

off the stage and hid himself for the
rest of the evening And the memory
of his famous recitation is still an
evergreen one in the annals of the

If not yet awake to their peril. Then
Sprigsbee ran for the door and was
confronted by sitting column of
black smoke. The court room was on
the third floor, and he gained the first
landing in safety. AS he turned to
the lower stairs he suddenly thought
of Mrs. Sprigsbee, his wife-ah, yes,
his wife; the thought brought a smile
to his hardened face. But the smile
passed quickly, and in its stead look
of horror, of fear, of anxiety came, not
for himself, but for the woman he had
thoughtlessly, cowardly left in the
court room.
He whirled on his heel and dashed
back up the stairway, three steps at Il
bound. Mrs. Sprigsbee was running
about the court room frantically, aim
lessly when her husband entered. "Oh,
where are my children, where are my
boys?" she walled in agony.
"They are down. They are safe"
Sprigsbee cried and took her by the
hand. Here. come with me. We
must get down instantly"
The woman was faint and weak
from long suffering-suffering that he
himself had brought upon her, and
now, as he gripped the delicate fin
gers in his own, Sprigsbee realized it
all. She could but slowly descend the
stairs, in spite of his efforts to hurry
her. The smoke rolled up in murky,
choking gusts, and the sharp, inces-
SAINT cracking of flames came from
below.
1--WE must go faster" Sprigsbee cried
desperately.
The woman tried to increase her
pace, but could not. The raging smoke
blinded her, stifled her, and before the
first landing was reached, she fell In
a swoon.
sprigsbee caught her in bis arms He
was surprised to find how light ana
frail she was. With his burden press

American Farming,

The two little boys yawned in uni

the pale face of the mother. This

she with difficulty suppressed a sob.

convictions.
During the long silence none in the
court room saw a thin column of

glided up the aisles between the rows
of empty benches. When it crept be-
meath the bench where the woman
and the boys sat little puggish nose
gave a curious sniff, and the ominous
silence was broken by the childish re-
mark:

start, thrust his glasses into his vest
pocket, and looked about him dazed,
Mortified. THE building Is on fire.
