AN ARCTIC ADVENTURE.
Nansen's Daring and PeriIous Swim
 For His Drifting Boats. ,ss

Nansen's Daring and Perilous Swim For His Drifting Boats. ,s5 | Among the perilOu$ adventures of
 the Nansen arctic expedition was the narrow escape of NanSen and JOhan-
 sen on their return trip to tile Tram l after their unsuccessful dash for the | pole. After many months of hardship
 narrow channel opened in the ice,
 and they launched the two light kaiNfS
 that they had carried on their sledges
 for more than year. A few days aft
 erward disaster nearly put an end to
 the expedition. The incident is related
 in s"The Siege and Conquest of the l North Pole,'',, by MT. George Bryce. :..-
 In the evening their legs felt stiff with sitting in the kaiaks all day, and
 they landed on the edge of the ice so
 that they might stretch them little. After the kaiaks, which were dashed
 together. had been moOred by means of one of the braces they ascended a
 hummOck close by and had been stand ing there only a moment when JOhan- sen raised the cry that the kaiaks were adrift.
 They ran to the edge of the ice, but the boats were already little way off and were drifting quickly. The posi- tion was terrible one. for all they possessed was on board. Nansen at once threw off some of his clothing. handed his watch to JOhanSen and sprang into the icy water. He knew that if the boats were lost it meant death to him and his companion. At
 first it seemed more than doubtful whether he could manage to regain them. When he got tired he turned over and swan on his back. At length he gained a little and redoubled his eXertiOnS.
 By this time Nansen felt his limbs stiffening and losing all feeling. His strokes became more and more feeble. but the distance from the kaiaks be- came shorter, and at last he was able to grasp a snowshoe that lay across { the sterns. He now tried to. pull him. self up, but his body was so stiff with cold that he could not do so. After a little he managed to swing one leg up to the edge of the sledge that was lashed to the deck and then raised the rest of his body. They were saved!
 With some difficulty he padded the kaiaks back to Johansen, who admitted that these were the worst moments he had ever lived through. Johansenp now pulled off Nansen's wet clothes, put on the few dry ones they had in reserve, spread the sleeping bag upon the ice and covered Nansen with the sail and nVorVf fhinO hp pOI1I6 find fO LnoD ont the cold. The next day Nansen was all right again. and in the evening they pressed forward once more on the march that finally brought them out of the arctic. ,...: .M...s -.4..--....

Swiss Schools

One of the most attractive fcHtI.rel of the Swiss schools iS the cordial per sOnal relation that exists between teacher and pupil. There is nothing of the military in the discipline of the school-no IAning up, no marching tc classes. When the children go to the classroom they shake hands with the teacher, greeting him as if they had really glad to see him. The whole re
 lation is one of charming naturalneSl and kindlineSS on both sides. ..

One Way to Cook a snip..

cnst nf a Roat Race.

A writer in Bailey's Magazine of England has been figuring on the cost of the annual boat race between OK ford and Cambridge and says the ex- pense to each crew may be approxi- mately estimated at $3,0O0 for each. He then says that as the contest rare ly takes more than twenty minutes the cost works out at about $500 per minute. or about $8 every time the oars dip into the water. The cost of the boats is placed at $25O and the oars at $70. the rest of the money going for preparation from October until the day of the race.

How Soldiers Break In shoea

A simple though effective way of breaking in" shoes is that employed tn the United States army. After the shoes have been fitted to their feet the soldiers stand in water up to the shoe tops until the leather Is thoroughly soaked. Then the soldiers are put on a march, and this hike is kept up until the shoes are thoroughly dried on the feet. Forever afterward the shoes are perfectly comfortable. for they con form In shape to every little peculiarity of the wearer's feet.-Popular Mechan- les.

The smaller a nation the longer the pedigree of the native. Thus every Scotsman of decent lineage Is descend ed from the Bruce, every Irishman from the Red Kings. and every Welsh man from Noah. The last claim has been made for the family of the late Lord Tredegar.

A Royal Reorjmand,

A tutor. was once employed to teach the son of king. The young prince was sometimes disobedient. But in the esteem of the tutor it was not quite proper to whip the son of king with common switch. So to the lapel of the boys coat the teacher pinned piece of purple ribbon. When ,the young prince manifested dispo. sition to defy authority the instructor pointed with the end of the rod to the purple ribbon on his coat This was an appeal to his rOya. blood.

Room poors on the Stage.

In real life room doors always open in toward the room itself On the stage, however. room doors, as a rule, open outward. or away from the room. Exits are one of the most difficult parts of the actors art, and if he or she had to tumble with the handle, pull the door toward them, step round 1t and pass through they would probably make a clumsy dodge of 1t. That is why, as q rule, doors are constructed to open outward at push.
