AS Shelley Saw Babies.

According to a story of Shelley
by the Rev. Bradley Gilman. the
splendid mental equipment of the
poet did not include humor.
In his Enthusiastically impassion-
ed way Shelley was deeply interested
in the problem Of immortality. One
day he met nurse maid wheeling

He accosted the infant twice, but,
OF course, gained no response. only
blank infantile stare.
Alas! alas." sighed Shelley.

; CAMPING WITH PEARY
IN The ARCTIC
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS 9

The fourth installment of Peary's
Story in Hamptons deals with the
thrilling adventures of hunting Arctic
big game, and the camp preparations
for the long night
"A mans first night in a canvas
tent in the Arctic is likely to be
rather wakeful," says the Command
er. 'The ice makes mysterious
noises; the dogs bark and fight out
side the tent where they are tethered;
and as three Eskimos and one white
man usually occupy small tent, and
the oil stove is left burning all night,
the air, Notwithstanding the cold is
not overpure; and sometimes the Es-
kimos begin char ing to the spirits
of their ancestors in the middle of the
night. Sometimes, too, the new mans
nerves are tried by hearing wolves
howl in the distance.
THE tents are specially made.
They are of lightweight canvas, and
the floor Of the tent is sewed directly
INTO it. The fly is sewed up, circular
opening in it. just large enough to
admit man. and that opening fitted
with a circular flap which is closed
by draw string, making the tent alb
solutely snow-proof An ordinary
tent. when the snow is flying, would
be filed in no time.
THE tent is pyramidal, with one
pole in the centre, and the edges are
usually held down by the sledge run
ners or by snowshoes used as tent
pegs. TIE men sleep on the floor in
their clio shes, with a musk OK skin or
n couple of deerskins wrapped round
them. I have not used sleeping bags
since my Arctic trip of 1912.
THE 'kitchen-bog' for our sledge
journeys is simply wooden box con-
tanning two double-burner oil stoves,
with four-ipch wicks. The two cook
ing pots are the bottoms of fve-gallon
coal-oil tins. fitted with covers. When
packed they are turned bottom side
up over each stove. and the hinged
cover of the wooden box is closed.
On reaching camp, whether tent or
snow igloo, the kitchen box is set
NO'h iiSi'tNi 'iAC bOp vi tllS DOA 10
turned up aud keeps the heat OF the
stove from netting the wall of the
igloo or burning the tert; the hinged
front of tte bcX is turned down and
forms table. The two cooking pots
are filed with pounded ice and put
on the stove; when the ice melts one
not is used for tea, and the other may
be used to warm beans, or to boil
meat if there IS any.
Each man has quart cup for tea,
and a hunting knife which serves
many purposes. He does not carry
a fork, and one teaspoon is consid-
cred quite enough for party of four.
Each man helms himself from the pot
sticks in his knife and fishes out
piece of meat.
THE theory of field work is that
there shall be two meals a day, one
in the morning and one at night. AS
the days grow short, the meals are
taken before light and after dark,
leaving the period of light entirely
for work. Sometimes it is necessary
to travel for twenty-four hours with
out stopping for food"

WORDS OF WISDOM.

It's very lucky for a child not to
take after its father.
When the devil invented money he
found he had sure thing.
Much of our generosity is inspired
by passion for showing off.
A woman is always girl till she
| gets married, years or no years.
When a man could lose money
cheerfully at cards 1t would be some
body else's.
Too many matchmakers spoil the
romance.
A man can admire himself for the
way his wife forgives his failings.
Life is full of pain; a few men get
hanged; most men get married.
When a girl has married sister
it's a sign she is going to try to run
her love affairs for her.
A woman believes in love ahead of
everything else, so that when 1t
comes out behind she can still go on
believing.
Winning applause is a human
trick; deserving it is divine gift.
When you hear anybody telling of
the good he tries to do in the world
he hasn't begun on 1t yet.
The most exciting thing to a woman
about yacht is all the nice flags and
things they paint on the dishes.
The first time a man comes home
late it's surprise to his wife; in the
course of time for him to come early
Is a shock.
To most people respectability is
nine parts clothes and one part man
ners.
Some men are SO lucky that when
an umbrella is stolen from them they
get chance to steal better one.
Remember that two quarters In
your own pocket Jingle more merrily
for you than two eagles do for you
In another mans.
A man is cross with his family at
breakfast, so as to strike fair aver
age on how amiable he was with his
friends at supper the night before.
A woman can have more sentiment
aroused in her by stopping to look
at baby cap in shop window than
by going to the most thrilling play
that ever was acted.-From "Refiec-
tions Of Bachelor" In the New York

"Double Fruits"
From "Nature and Science" in st.
Nicholas.

~
Nicholas.
Double fruits may originate in
either of two ways. Sometimes,
when the fruits are very young, they
may become accidentally pressed to-
gether so tightly that they crush
together, as it were, and may then,
as they become older, grow into one
mass at this junction. This is kind
of grating. This, however, is not
the common origin of double struc-
lures. All fruits, like buds and tho
beginnings of leaves, originate in
mass of very soft cells which are
easily affected by mechanical influ-
ences. If one of these soft young
structures, which tends to grow as
unit, becomes injured at its very tip,
which is the place Of most active
growth, the growth ceases at that
point, but continues to grow without
making an effort to reunite the two
parts. The injury may be caused by
the bite of an insect, or by some
other external cause; or it may be
some one of the various influences
we call internal" although there is
probably no real difference between
external injuries and internal infu-
ences. In this way originate not only
double fruits, but double leaves.

a certain class of unscrupulous busi-
ness men of to-day who abuse the
power Of combination to extort
tribute which they do not earn.
81 do not oppose combination, but
the abuse of it. The evil of monopo-
ly even lies in the misuse of it.
Intelligent and legitimate combi-
nation in business is merely a phase
of higher organization and invariably
results in greater economy and
greater efficiency.
"Such combination is therefore
beneficial, and will benefit not only
the business creators of the combina-
ton, but the public generally when
ever the public is allowed to partici-
, pate in the advantages.
ITO my mind, therefore, it is the
duty of government not to prevent
the combination which is beneficial,
but to insure public participation in
the benefits.
ITO my mind it is the duty of gov
ernment to prevent overcapitalization
and to control business of a public
or semi-public character where it
reaches the point where it is indepen-
dent of competition.
Government ownership is reme-
dy for the abuses of some monopolies,
but government ownership has its
limitations.
''It is obviously impossible for the
Government to own all businesses of
an oypIuciua oh nfar
"The creation of competition, on
the other hand, is generally step
backward and frequently wholly fails
of its main object.
''In st. Louis, for example, there
are three competing telephone lines,
and the sole result of that competi-
tion is that the subscriber is COM
PEELED to pay for three telephones in
stead of one.
obviously monopoly of the SER
vice would improve that situation,
and IL the monopoly were abused the
service could be either taken over by
the Government or regulated by a
Government commission.
II have not time in a brief after
dinner talk to discuss these import
ant questions in sufficient detail.
''I hope, however, that have made
clear the point which 1 have in mind,
namely, that 1t is the province of
journalism not only to protect the in
terests of the people, but to do so
with intelligence and Judgment.
"It is the difficult duty of journal
ism to distinguish between what is
good and what is bad, not only in
business methods, but in all other
matters which vitally affect the in
terests of the people.
ut is the serious task of journalism
to distinguish, too, between what is
good and what is bad in the remedies
proposed for every evil, and, as in
the instance l have cited, to advise
the people not to be diverted into an
attack upon combination in business,
which is In itself beneficial, but to
carry on a war of determination
against the abuse of the power of
combination in the hands of men who
are selfish and interruptions to the
point of criminality.
I'm these complex and difficult situ-
ations I feel that the conscientious
publisher should have the support of
the people and also of that higher ele-
ment in the business world which
recognizes it's own duties and obliga-
tions to the people,"

A Peculiar Code OF Honor.

Some men, said AL Trotter,
well known clubman, at a banquet
recently, have very queer ideas OF
honor.
Il was riding from Pitsburg to
Philadelphia in the smoking COM
partment of Pullman. There were
perhaps six of us in the compart-
ment, smoking and reading. All of
a sudden a door banged and the con-
ductor's voice cried:
All tickets please!'
Then one of the men in the COM
partment leaped to his feet, scanned
the faces of the rest of us and said
slowly and impressively:
Gentlemen. / trust to your
honor
And he dived under the seat and
remained there in a small silent

Jerome s. McWade said of the

said:
