IN THE LANDS OF SNOW.
Keeping Warm Is the Main Business
of the Pe0pIe

OF the feOple.
With the big, restless, energetic world
outside of this tropical belt, however,
the matter of keeping warm Is ever
present, troublesome and expensive,
throughout half Of each passing year.
says the National Magazine.
AS matter of fact, the world Of hui
mainly dwelling in stoveland never has
been, In all the ages, really and COM
fortably warm in winter. 1t is largely
our own fault Mankind is the only anil
nal which employs fire in the effort to
survive the cold of the winters. The
hardy lower animals do not need ii,
however much their luxuriousiy ener-
waited representatives, the dog and the
cat may enjoy 1t, when they have u
chance.
Ancient man only got himself rid of
his provident coat of hair and his suffi-
cient latent he0t when he began to loaf
around the family cooking stove and alb
sorb the intoxicating comfort of artifi-
cial warmth. This far-away ancestor is
responsible for the fact that the pres
ent-day human being, outside OF the belt
aforesaid, is obliged to keep close to
thermometer registering nearly or quite
20 degrees Fahrenheit from October to
May, besides which he must needs wear
extra clothing. This, also, is an inner
tied habit.
A traveller west once asked a half
naked Indian in midwinter how he man

replied: Your face no got coat It

Eject of Ether.

The effects Of ether, or at least the

years ago, but had forgotten it entire

Struggled Himself on the KjeId and
Lived Long Bananas.
When the steamship Kjeld, coming
this way with 10000 punches of ban
anas and $50 bags of cocoanuts, was
two days out from port Antonio, the
date being Oct 10, the first mate dis
covered a strange creature In the for
ward hold. 1t was a-no, hold on, it
wasn't a big tarantula with hair on
it's legs and it wasn't a green snake
the same as all banana ships have
aboard-it was a little brown monkey
with a wise little old face that looked
as If 1t had worn out several bodies,
and a long prehenslle tail with a crook
in the end like an Interrogation mark
upside down, says the New York
World.
The monk had had a-plenty to eat
the piles of empty banana skins upon
the deck of the hold proved that-but
he was thirsty for a fact. The mate
called the watch to capture the little
stowaway, but the monkey had another
idea about that.
He skipped from banana bunch to
banana bunch as briskly as a water
bug on mill pond. Just when the
men had about given up hope Of catch

16-year-old mess boy, came along the
alley on his way to the galley with a
bucket of water on his shoulder.
With one jump the monk was on
Long Jim's head, taking a drink out
Of the bucket. He was still soaking In
1t when the first mate grabbed him by
the scruff Of the neck.
Inside of a day the monk was tame.
he developed q fondness for Long
Jim that made everyone think of the
Damon end Of the famous Damon and
Pythias sketch team of ancient time.
When the Kjeld arrived and Long Jim
prepared to reship for his home In
Sweden he wept so bitterly at the
thought of parting from his monkey
friend that Capt Helleson gave Jim
the monk and they sailed together
/ the happiest monkey and the proudest
Swede on the Atlantic Ocean.

CHAPTER II.

The Rev. Cyrus Dane had been many
years rector of Little Wilton; at his
death, Mr.. Baumgarten was appointed
Mrs. Dane was left with a very slender
provision, derived from an annuity. Her
husband had been quite unable to save
money. The needs of his parish, the
education of his two daughters, and the
expenses of living had utterly absorbed
his stipend, and kept him sadly poor.
SO poor that the necessary repairs of
the rectory from year to year had never
been attended to, and when he died it
was in a woeful state of dilapidation.
The eldest of his daughters, Charlotte,
had married George Brice, a nephew of
Brice the surgeon; he was the junior
partner in a shipping house and lived in
London.
When Mr.. Baumgarten arrived to take
possession Of ehis new living, he found
the rectory perfectly uninhabitable. Mrs.
Dane had moved out of it to Wilton
Cottage and 1t was arranged that he
should take up his residence with her,
paying a certain sum for his board. 1t
was comfortable arrangement for the
young clergyman, and it was a help to
Mrs. Dane. He had not the means to
put the rectory into repair, and was
told that he must go upon the late rec
tors widow to do 1t; that she was liable,
as In fact she was But Mr.. Baumgar-
ten could not and would not do that.
| She had not the means to restore 1t any

wing; however, In
spite of all the attempts to swerve his
allegiance. In February, 1775, Bartlett
was deprived of both the offices that
he had held under the Tory govern
ment.
In the same year Bartlett was made
member Of the committee of safety,
and In September accepted a commits
sion as colonel of an American regi.
ment.
Dr.. Bartlett was chosen to represent
New Hampshire in the Continental
Congress. He was the first man to give
his vote for the Declaration of indie
pendence and the second man to sign It,
During the progress of the Revolu-
ton Bartlett divided his time between
the council and the 'front.' giving SER
vices equally valuable in both. At the
close of the Revolution he was chosen
chief justice of the Court Of Common
Pleas and later chief Justice. In 1893
he was chosen the first Governor Of ths
State of New Hampshire, an honor bel

ELECTRIC POWER IN AFRICA.
Plan to Transmit Current 745 Miles
Is Not Approved.

- 4"Ot <hpPfOftu
1t Is gratifying to note that the tech
nical press has sounded note of warn
Ing against the preposterous proposal
to generate hydraulic electric power at
the Victoria falls Of the Zambesi river
and transmit 1t over a distance of 745
miles for use In the gold mines of
johannesburg, says the Scientific Amer
lean. But, although the proposal to
deliver this power at a figure that
would be at once economical to the con-
sumner and profitable to the company
has been ridiculed by the technical
press the lay public Is liable to be mis-
led by the scheme, which on the face
Of it would seem to hold out flattering
prospects of success.
At the present time the most Import
tant transmission of energy for COM
mercial purposes is that from Niagara
to Buffalo, where the distance covered
does not exceed twenty miles. The long
est transmission, according to present
information, is that which Is in sue
cessful operation In California, over a
distance of about 900 miles, so that
the proposed transmission line in
South Africa will be $40 per cent longer
than anything that has yet been con-
templated.
According to Prof william E. Ayr
ton, who not long ago made a severe
criticism Of the scheme In the London
Times, the Johannesburg mining dis
trict consumes about 100000 horse
power at an average cost of 500 "a
horse power a year. Niagara sends
4,000-horse power to Buffalo, where 1t
is sold at about 1925 a horse power a
year, and Buffalo, as we have noted,
Is distant from Niagara only twenty
miles.
Furthermore, In the neighborhood OF
johannesburg are abundant supplies of
coal, of which an excellent quality can
be delivered on the Rand for from
$3.50 to 81 ton. Even If the Victoria
Falls plant were to be built and a great
transmission line constructed 1t Is not
| likely that the important mining indus
tries in Johannesburg would be willing
to trust the operation of their costly
plants to the integrity of few copper
cables extending for over 700 miles
through the wilds Of a savage country.

First Sign of Communion.

A rise of temperature Of from one
half to one degree at some period of
greater or less duration every twenty
four hours may be regarded as the first
symptom of pulmonary tuberculosis, oc-
curing previous to every other symp-
tom and before the general health of
the Individual is Influenced to a notice
able degree. The temperature will be
most elevated following bodily fatigue.
Excluding other morbid conditions that
would cause similar elevation of tenn
perature, it is safe to diagnose the case
as one Of pulmonary Cor laryngeaD
tuberculosis when this temperature has
persisted for period Of two weeks and
is associated with loss of weight and
vitality, even though there has been no
accompanying cough or expectoration
and though physical examination gives
