JANUARY "REMINISCENCES.

The rose that seems the sweetest is the rose
that bloOmed so fair
Away back in the summer when the days
were free from care;
You shut your eyes and see the ripples dane
ing in the sun,
And try to count the stars that come to
view when day is done;
The crows hoarse saluration echoes family
in your ear
And you think about a morrow balmy,
radiant and clear.
When perfbmad breezes Ger the trembling
waves Will lightly blow
You'd like to go a-fishing-but you've got
to shovel snow.
Oh, disappointment that might well dis
courage cen the saints,
When crnei fate dispels the bliss that gentle
fancy paints!
The wind that now roafs fiercely brought
caresses for all men,
And clouds held only storm enough for
rainbows now and then.
Iou start up from your reyerle, a rod and
line to seek,
And grasp the implement of toll that leaves
your shoulders weak
SO grim reality dispels the dreams ecstatic
glow
You'd like to go a.ishing-but you've got
to shovel snow.

A WORLD MYSTERY.
The Presence of Bones of Tropical Ami
mails in the Arctics.

Islands of ivory hidden among the
Arctic ice lying north of Siberia were
described in a paper read by DIR. Gath
Whitley at the Victoria institute the
other day. These islands were dscov-
cred by Russian explorers at the end of
the Eighteenth century and have been
exploited by traders in fossil ivory ever
since. As recently as 1898 about 10000
pounds of fossil ivory was offered for
sale at the fair of Yakutsk.
To the earlier explorers it seemed that
one islet known as Liakoffs island was
actually composed of the bones and
tusks of elephants. cemented together
by icy sand. The horns of buffaloes, OF
rather of musk oxen, and rhinoceroses
were also wonderfully abundant. The
sandy shores and slopes We're full of
mammoths' tusks.
In 1886 German, DR. Bunge, ex-
plored Liakoff's island THE sand and
gravel" said the lecturer, were found
to rest In blocks of ice and the alluvial,
beds were full of the bones of mann
moths, rhineoceroses and musk oxen
tins after hundreds of years of visits
from ivory hunters Trawling showed
that the bottom of the sea near the
islands was strewn With tusks and
bones.
these extraordinary discoveries are
explained by the following theory: In
prehistoric times Siberia enjoyed a com
paratively mild climate and great tract

considerable level above the sea-

ana buffaloes roamed over these plains
A great catastrophe at last overlook
them. The land subsidized, the sea rose
and the animals congregated in great
numbers on the mountain tops. Even
these were at last submerged, and the
destruction was complete After time
the waters subsidized slowly and the
islands which had formed mountains in

Eastern apple-ralSers are receiving les
sons of experience which may change
for the better the appearance of the
average orchard in the older portions of
the country, and cause farmers generally
to give more attention to apple-raising.
1t is stated that Washington, Oregon
and Colorado apples are selling in East
ern markets at from Is cents to 81 IA
dozen, while choice Eastern-grown APP
The reason for this difference is
the finer appearance of the Western APP
pies, which were the recipients of care
during their period of development while
the Eastern apples were experiencing
their usual period of neglect The Western
grower sprays his fruit, and nurses both
trees and fruit through the yicissitudeS of
the growing season, while the old-time
apple-raiser in the East trusts to luck
for his apples while he is giving other
farm duties his sole attention. Naturally
the Western apple is winner in APP
pearance as a result of the treatment il
receives, and for this reason commands
the fancy prices which growers now re
ceive. The growers in the older apple
sections can reduce the margin of differ
ence in price and achieve better profits
by adopting the methods employed by
the growers of the West Success,
through this would cause them to Civ,
more attention to apple-raising and ther
consumers would get a benefit in bettel
fruit at lower prices than they hay,
been paying for poor apples during
number of years past.

The plan proposed at the Grand Rap
ids convention of the Wisconsin Gran
berry Growers Association, for the dig
cling of a canal from the Wisconsin river,
between twelve and fourteen miles dis
tant from the marshes, in order TO Sc
cure water enough to safeguard the ber-
ries against frosts, suggests irrigation on
a pretentious scale in a state IN which
no such undertakings have been deemed
necessary. But large returns could
doubtless be achieved on irrigation ven
lures in Wisconsin for crops other than
cranberries, as regular watering of the
soil conduces to vigorous plant growth.
Perhaps the cranberry scheme might be
linked with other irrigation enterprise
that would utilize the water along the
way.

New York steamship agents are said
to be making bookings thus early for
oversee travel during the coming sum
mer, and the promising start has devel-
oped opinion that the high figures of 1907,
when 109,712 first cabin passengers were
taken out of New York during the sea-
son. will be surpassed. There are to be
several attractions in foreign lands dur
ing the present year, and these probably
explain the early bookings. The Pas
sion Play is to be performed at Omer
Ammergau; an International Exhibition
is to be held at Brussels; an American
Exposition is to be open in Berlin, and
there is to be a musical festival at Bey-
ruth. 1t is well for these undertakings
that the United States is experiencing
great industrial and commercial pros
perity, as touring Americans with money
to spend are essential to European en-
tertainment enterprises.

It transpires that the boatswain of the
revenue cutter Bear, who has succeeded
IN bringing up baby seals ION the bottle, !"
does the trick by cutting the cord under
the seals tongue, so that 1t can take
nourishment from dishes, like young dogs
or cats. The fact that this can be done
has aroused great interest at Washing
ton. where fears have been felt lest
pehgic sealing would exterminate the
herds on the seal islands of Behring sea.
The main loss has been through the
death of pups whose mothers have been
captured by the pelagic sealers. If the
pups thus orphaned can be kept alive by
surgery and careful feeding, the seals
can be saved

The Postoffice Department reports that
only 80 per cent. of the letters sent from
this country to Germany went under the
reduced rate which is conceded for mail
carried by sea direct. There are many
people, it seems, who would rather pay
i've cents for prompt delivery than two
cents for service subject to the chance
of being tardy. This is something to be
remembered in considering future poll
cies of the department. The American
people want quality first, then cheap
ness; not cheapness first.
