The reason most families dis card the budget after they have tried it awhile is because father isn't able to earn the six salaries needed to make it work.
 Another optimist is the father who thinks when daughter goes to work she'll contribute a little oi what she makes toward the up- keep of the family instead of using it all to buy just that much more finery for herself.
 A lucky husband is one whose wife learned all she knows about cooking from her mother. who d.d not know anymore about yitamines and calories than the food she cooked did about astronomy.
 Variety may be the spice of life, but we reckon a man is soon con- vinced by the things his second or third wife tells him that as far as any change is concerned he might just as well have stuck to number one.

Nansen's Arctic Expedition.
CNew York Times. ]


 The great drigible Count Zeppelin will cruise in the North polar regions under the leader ship of Dr. Nansen and perhaps be naygated by Dr. Eckener The Norwegian explorer pro- posed such an expedition to the German Aero Arctic Society time ago. and it was then obvious that the only airship available would be the Count Zeppelin. It was built largely by popular subscriptions and it occurred to the Aero Arctic Society to ask Dr. Eckener to send the ship into the North polar regions. His con- sent was obtained Dr. Nansen's relations with the society friendly and it had such a high regard for his reputation as an explorer, that it assumed he would be asked to lead the expedition
 tended by Minister of Commerce Guerand, Major Brandenburg, Director of Aviation; Dr. Hugo IEckener and Dr. Nansen himself, it was decided that the arshp should make flight to the North polar regions in April, 1880, the Govern ment sanctioning the enterprise but giving no subsidy The command offered to pr. Nansen.
 It is said that the cruise will be made by way of Leningrad and across the polar basin to Nome, Alaska, and that on the return voyage, as doubt the outward run unexplored regions will be traversed The plan is tentative. Dr. Nansen has more than year to decide what the area of exloration shall be. It is the view of Peter Freuchen, the Danish scientist who may be member of Dr. Nansens party, that there large bodies of land to be dis covered in the Arctic. He to accept the leonclusons of Amundsen and Wilkins But the polar basin is yet to be charted. and islands of considerable size may be found in regions not hitherto penetrated If Nansen should be lucky enough to have fine weather for days at time, he would doubtless cover the whole of the polar basin. With improved sounding instruments Freu- chen believes that the depth of the ocean could be measured from the airship bombs being ployed to break the surface ice. Moreover he maintains that men, tents and rations could be lowered for purposes of scientific observation Arctic waters have their fishery problems and attention could be given to them.
 It behooves the Germans and Scandinavians to make good use of their opportunities in the Aero-Arctic expedition of 1880, for if Freuchen is right the Russians will be the Arctic explorers l of the future Had Count Mobile not delayed his start for Sptzenbergen he might have escaped disaster. But pr. Nansen knows that early April is the halcyon period for airship exploration in the Arctic. Then the winds are likely to | be gentle and the skies clear The Count Zen pelin is several times larger than the Italia is stancher, and has accommodations for scientists and navigating officers which the Italia lacked

bill is very strong why it ought to be passed quickly.
 We cannot agree with that reasoning. The fact is that the most of the world wants to see disarmament and in many parts sf the world the United States IS expected to lead the movement toward that end It may be that this country needs fifteen more modern cruisers of large size and that their building ought to begin at once, but the circumstance that the other countries do not want us to build them is not a good reason for doing Rather it makes 1t more clear that we should not build them unless there are very practical reasons for their construction.
