Keen Yourself of the World.

Shame on the man of cultivated
taste who permits refinement to devel-
op into fastidiousness that units him
for doing the rough work of worka-
day world. Among the free peoples
who govern themselves there is only a
small field CT usefulness open for the
men of clustered lie who shrink from
contact with their fellows. Still less
room IL there for those who deride or
slight what ia done by those who actu-
ally bear the brunt of the day; nor yet
for those others who always profess
that they would like TO take action II
only the conditions Of life were not
what they actually are.-Exchange.

Miss Addie Burrows had shifted
out OF short frocks into long. and the
braids that once hung down her back
were there no longer. She was young
lady now, a tall and willowy young
she climbed at all.
Miss Addie was not lean enough to
cause her TO answer the Get Fat" ad
vertisements. nor yet fat enough to
wish to reduce her weight thirty
pounds In one week. She was nice
sweet girl. and growing sweeter every
day.
Has a nice, sweet young lady any
moral or legal right to have a preju-
dice against anything or anybody
Miss Addie had one. She didn't tell
II 10 everybody. but she talked with
herself about It very often. That
prejudice was against sawed-off men,
both young and old. She could stand
red hair or cock eyes or turn-in toes,
but when II came TO man five feet
two inches high strutting around with
his chest thrown out she looked the
other way.
II was no use for the father to say
that Napoleon was a sawed-off man,
or the mother to announce that Alex
ander the Great could hardly squint
over n fence five feet high. This was
a new era in the world around her,
and short men should either have
grown to giants or dwindled to
dwarfs. AS for Miss Addie herself
abe measured five feet six, and paid
no attention whatever TO those who
protested that Venus was an inch less
in height.
Miss Addie had an invitation to
spend a month with her particular
chum, Miss Harmon, at the hll.the-
year-round country residence OF the
lstter's mother. and she accepted

I am going forward with party of five
men, sending three back under Lieut..
Evans with this note. The names and
descriptions Of the advance party are

the scientific staff; Capt. Oates, Innes-

and mules; Lieut.. Bowers, Royal Indian
marine. commissariat officer: Petty Off

and equipment
The advance party goes forward with
months provisions, and the prospects of
success seem good, providing the weather
holds and no unforeseen obstacles arise.
1t has been very difficult to choose the
advance party, as every one was fit and
able to go forward. Those who return are
naturally much disappointed. Every one
has worked his hardest. The weather on
the plateau has been good on the whole.

and Garrard started on a sledge journey
to Cape Crozier to observe the incubation
of emperor penguins at their rookery.
Very heavy surface on the barrier forced
the party to relay work during the main
part. and fortnight was taken on the
outward journey. The temperature was
seldom above minus 90 degrees, and often
below minus 20 degrees. the lowest OBJ
served with a sling thermometer being
minus u degrees.
Behind a land ridge on the slopes of
Mount Terror the party spent three days
in building a stone hut which they rooted
with canvas from this camp. The men
had great difficulty in crossing the~huge
barrier pressure ridges in the dim noon
twilight to reach the rookery. They were
successful at second attempt. They
found comparatively few birds at the
rookery. but these had begun to lay even
at this early date. Fortunately some eggs
at different stages of development We're
secured, which should give considerable
Information concerning the embryology

Lieut.. Pennell expressed the utmost
confidence in the ultimate success Of
Capt. Scott and his party. and declared
that the scientific work being performed
by the expedition was of an extremely
valuable character. In addition to the
southern party, the Terra Nova was COM
PEELED, owing to the bad ice conditions, to
leave behind Lieut.. Campbell's party. who
were landed at Drygalsky barrier, and
thence sledged into the interior. Both
parties, however, were fully prepared for
this emergency, says the commander or
the Terra Nova, and no alarm need be
felt for their safety.
