Expense of the I'eary Expedition.
The total expense of the Peary and the
Peary relief expeditions was within
000, or, approximately, within one-tenth
of the amount that was involved in the
very much less successful British nort ii
pole exiedition of lSTWi, and barely
more than one-fortieth of the expense of
the Anstro-IIungarian expedition under
Payer and Weyprecht of 1873-1.
The contributions of knowledge ob

CYCUNC FOR CHILDREN.
Crest fare Should Be Taken That Injure
Does Not Result from It.
Dr. E. B. Tnmer, iu considering the
question whether young children le
tween the ages, say, of six and twtlt e,
should ba allowed to cycle, sud if al
lowed how much they may indulge in
the pastime without incurring the risk
of inj ory, maintains that tho subject is
one on which no man can pronounce
dogmatically or lfy down strict and in
variable rales concerning. What for
one small boy or girl might be merely
healthy and beneficial exercise, for an
other uiiht mean physical ruiu. But
while each case mnst be judged on its
merits, one fundamental principle must
be clearly enunciated namely, that no
young child with any organic weakness,
whether of heart, longs, joints or nerv
ous s.VFtetn, should be allowed to mount
a machine under any circumstances
whatever.
Setting aside such natural disqualifi
cations, the exorcise of cycling, properly
regulated and adjusted to the capabilities
of the individual, is unquestionably one
of the best forms of recreation that can
be partaken of by children of both sexes
at an early age. It develops the body,
and the self relimce and resource en
tailed by the management of a macliina
tend to strengthen and enlarge the men
tal and intellectual faculties. A few
6iraple precautions, however, may insure
good and avert evil results. As to the
age that a child should begin, for most
children six is quite early, and even for
some six is too early. Great care should
be taken in choosing and fitting a ma
chine to a young rider. An old, ill fitting
crock may produce deformity or disease.
Two things that must be insisted on in
buying either a bicycle cr a tricycle for
a young rider are that the iak of tho
saeldle should be two inches behind the
crank axle, and that the handles should
bo so brought around and liack that the
child can sit perfectly upright on the
machine. As to the distance the cliild
may ride no absolute rule can be laid
down. Overexertion must be carefully
guarded agmnst, and a sleepless night
and a distaste for food is one of the indi
cations that the system is poisoned by
the products of its own waste. It must
bo rememliered that excessive speed is
more injurious tlian excessive distance,
and excessive hill climbing than either.
The conclusion arrived ut by Dr. Tur
ner is that a sound child, six years old,
properly Cttenl with a machine, and rid
ing in proper form and peisition, may
cycle within the limits 'of mod ration
and derive benefit jtnd suffer no harm
from the exercise. St, Louis Globe

Some still existing superstitions among
fishermen are communicated by a resi
dent. At the beginning of the herring
season the crew all try to seize the her
ring first on board to see if it be a male
or temala. If it is a male their fishing
may be expetted to be a peor one; if a
female a good ono. Sometimes, how
ever, the skipper secures it end hides it
away, sailing it and laying it aside for
the season. The boat must not be turned
against the sun.
Certain animals considered of ill omen
must not be spoken of in the boat, and
ministers in this respect occupy the same
place as rabbits, hares, and pigs. Fish
ermen do not like to lend anytliing to a
neighboring bout lest their luck should
go with it. If they lend a match they
will contrive secretly if possible to
Lreak it and keep part, hoping thereby
to retain their luck. Their ilislike to
Lave anytliing stolen ia increaseel by the
fear tliat the thief may have stolen their
luck with it. To ask the question,
"Where are you going? of any ono who
is going oa board is equivalent to de
stroying all Lis chances for that time.
Persous with certain names are held to
be of bod omen, the dreaded nanifs be

fitting in the Savago club in the com
pany of four distinguished men of let

humbly, as 1 thought, about his own
career. 'I do not supijose,' ho said,
that any man in my present position
Las experienced ia London the priva
tions I knew when I first came here. I
went hungry for three days, twenty
years back, and for three nights I slept
in the park.' One of the iiarty turned
tome. 'Yeiu cap that, Christie? I an
swered, 'Four nights ou the embank
ment, four days hungry.' My left Land
neighbor was a poet, and he chimed in
laconically, 'Five.' In effect it proved
that there was not ono of us who had
not slept in that Hotel of the Beautiful
Star which is always open to everybody.
We Lad all been frequent guests there,
and now we were all prosperous and
had found other and more comfortable

the German emperor has just presented
to the Ge rman Society for the Promotion
of Aerial Navigation for the advance
ment of this science is to be devoted to
the construction and equipment of a
giant balloon. This balloon will lie as
high as a four storied house, will be fifty
six feet in diameter and it will contain
no less than 2,5oO cubic meters of gas.
It will be made of Egyptian cotton stuff,
and will be coated with vulcanized gum,
which is considered better than varnislu
A rather interesting feature of the bal
loon will bo the provision of a special
valve of a new kind, which will keep the
gas pure for a longer time, and there-fore
sustain the balloon for a longer period.
It is propose d to make within a year no

lKin and to ascend as high as possible,
up to a3,000 feet if necessary, with arti

for this balloon. Experiments will, if

As a professor of the College of France
Renan had 10,000 francs, or 400 a year,
from which 5 per cent was deducted in
order to form a pension. As director of
the establishment he had S0 yearly and
rooms, 0 also as fees for atteuding
committees and 00 for atte'ndancc-s at
the Institute of France, On the whole,
M. Bertha-lot estimates that Renan's of
ficial emoluments amounted to 1-aTq,
francs a year, or Cex. Ho had sold all
rights in his literary works to Lis pub
lishers, and had to live for many year
on what he earned by writing. These
'revelations" about M. Itouan's privata
means are made by M. Berthelot ia or
der to do away with the notion tliat a
a writer and a functionary his friend
had made a large fortune. Pans Cor.

The Governor of Tennesnee.
Judge Tnrney, governor of Tennessee,
though he Las been on the supreme bench
fcr twenty -two years, is a farmer. Ha
has a magnificent old typical southern
home in Franklin count v known as
Wolfs Crag. He is sixty-five years old,
C feet 4 inches tall, has broad shoulders
and weighs 200 pounds. He wears a full
short gray beard With theexceptiem e.f
a Flight rheumatic affection he is hale
and hearty. His rheumatism lias caused
Lim to abandon deer and fox hunting, of
which ho 1ms been a great lover. At
Wolfs Crag he has his pack of dogs and
tho horses which liave carried Lim ou
many a fox hunt.
For years he has been noted as the
best eleer shot in the state. Men who
Lave Ix-en with him on the hunt say Le
can bring down a deer running at full
speed 100 yards distant. I?e is one of tbe
people. All over the state he is known
ns "Old Pe te Turney." It was his county
under Lis leadersliip which first seceded
from the Union. Before the state ef
Tennessee had seceded ho had organized
the first Tennessee regiment and gone to
the front. Thongh many times offered
promotion, Le deedined to leave Lis n-gi-mcnt
and went through the war as col
onel of the First Tennessee. At tho bat
tle of Seven Pines he was shot through
the face. Ne-w YirkWorM.
Thinning l"hem Ont.
A new device for plucking strangers
has been invented by the keeper of a bi
Clark street restaurant. Ho didn't want
to frighten regular customers away by
raising pricei; on tin bill of fare, and yet
felt that it was a shame to bo lx-hind
boarding house keepers, saloons and ho-ti-ls
ia overcliargiug. Yesterday a bright
idea struck him and he promptly put ii
hi operation. A waiter gave the snap
away. "I've eaten there for six months."
said a we known merchant, "and wl
dom had cause for com plaint. Last nigl I
I ordered a sirloin steak, as I had of re-i
done before. It ws much thinner than
canal, but I was not particularly hungry
and end not complain. This morning 1
was served with n still thinner one and
kicked. Then the waiter told me the
steaks were all being cut thinner tins
week because so iriny 6trar,gers wero in
town, and t'ie boss wanted to get more
for meals without driving away the reg
ulars. It's the same way everywhere
else. The pies are smaller; so are the
jiats of butter, and the preiprietor has ic
tnnlly run in a lot of new coffee cups that
Lold considerably less than the old ones.''
