To licr of enfforing from liooi
in tho Aretio rogionn nonniN in
crciiible lo thom who Laro npTer
boon tlipre. Lieutenant GiMer
relates tho fxperience of his
party from this cause while one
summer in King Williams's Land, and
declares that probably nowhere on
earth is tlifl traveler more annoyed by
acute sunburn than in the frigid rone.
The heat of ordinary exercise compels
him to throw back the hood of his fnr
coat, and by thus exposing the heal
not only his entire face becomes blis
tered but especially if he is fashion
able enough to wear his hair thin on
the top of his bend his entire scalp
is affecte l about as severely us if a
bucket of scalding water had been
poured upon him.
At later period Lieutenant
Schwatka's entire party, while upon a
t-ledgc journey from Marble Island to
Camp Daly, were so severely burned
that not only their faces bnt their en
tire heads were swollen to nearly
twice their size. And a fine-lookiug
party they were. Some had faces bo
swollen that their eyes were complete
ly closed on awakenintr from sleep.
AYhen one was fortunate enough to be
able to see the others ho could not re
frain from IniiRhlng. All dignity was
lost. Even the august commander of
the party was a laughing-stock, and,
though bo knew why thev laughed at
each othpr, he could not understand
why ho should excite such mirth.
1'retty soon ho aw his faco in a mir
ror, and found that when he tried to
srailo his lips were so thoroughly
swollen teat the effect was anything
but happy. The contortion expressed
sentiment, but hardly that of pleasure.
He could readily have been taken for
a grimacing idiot, or a malicious lun
atic, according to the preference of
the beholder. Casscll'a Magazine.
First American University.
The University of Virginia did in
its early days n great and needful
work for the whole United States.
For many years there was nowhere on
this continent another place where it
was tho aim, in the words of the foun
der of this school, "to teach every
science in its highest degree." The
honor system, which was a natural
outcome of the plans of government
and instruction propased by Thomas
Jefferson, and which was slowly and
painfully developed at the university
into its present torni by a faculty of
rare wisdom in dealing with young
men, produced results wbioh are even
now incredible tc Northern educa
tors. Nor is tho importance of this school
simply of the past. She is at this day
a center and leader of Southern edu
cational work. If her activities were
lessened or crippled, the cause of
Southern scholarship would suffer im
measurable damage, and those who
care for the higher elements of social
and moral life in that great section of
the country believe that it would be un
wise to let that work cease. If, for
no other reason, many friends of the
University of Virginia say, its build
ings ought to be restored and the in
stitution fostered, because it is the
only important material monument to
the fame of the great American states
man, Thomas Jefferson.
Jefferson gave to tho university
some of the best thought of his life
and the affection of his declining
veare. and he was active in its carrion
up to his last hour. New York Times.
Fresh Water From the TacIHc Ocean-
On calm days the crew of the light
ship anchored three miles oft the
mouth of the Columbia River, Ore
gon, are able at ebb tide to lower a
bucket over the side and bring up
water fresh enough for drinking pur
poses. This fresh water spreads out
over the surface of the ocean in the
shape of a fax:, the apex being the
mouth of the Columbia. It ib only
about two feet in depth, and , 'if the
bucket is allowed to sink below that
depth the water with which it ia filled
is strong oceau brine. There are not
many rivers in the world with strength
sufficient to send their waters so far
out to sea, the principal exception be
ing the Amazon, which freshens the
ocesn for twenty miies off its mouth,
ships having tilled their casks with
frebh water from the Amazon when
out of sight of land. New York

Expensive Jicst.
Among the bills recently presented
for redemption at the United States
Treasury were ten of 8100 denomina

five of $30. They were nibbled around
the edges, but enough remaiced to
render them good.
This 32750 constituted a mouse's
nest. The bills had been laid away in
a trunk and when the owner went to
look for them, they wtro gone.
Search was instituted, but no trace of

the coMursa wool uerixo.
The so-called Bambonillet shceD is
a large-bodied, long-wool sheep, for a
merino, that was originally brought
here from France, where at the vil
lage of Rambouillet the French Gov
ernment established a flock of Spanish
merinos more than a hundred years
ago. Since that time the sheep has
been quite changed in character, and
instead of having the short wool of the
original sheep, it has wool from three
to four inches long, and has increased
in size of body more than double. It
is an instance of the efleot of reeding
upon an animal, by which ample food
of the best kind and breeding have
thus altered an ancient race of sheep.
These sheep were brought into the
United States in 1812 by a Mr. Col
lins, ot Connecticut, and gradually be
came popular and spread into the
State of New York, where they were
carefully bred for some years, and are
now kept in almost every State in the
Union. This large-bodied sheep is
excellent for mutton ; the carcass
reaches a size of 300 pounds for the
males, and 200 pounds for the ewes.
The fleece weighs frequently twenty-
four pounds or more, and has much
less yolk and grease than the small
merino. The body is also smoother
and less wrinkled. There are now
many breeders of these sheep all over
tne states, una they are gradually be
coming more and more popular as
they become known. The wool is floe
and long enough to be combed, when
it is woven into a class of goods known
as delaines. These are printed as
calicos are and are largely used. New

family horses.
The price of horses has of late been
o reduced that farmers are discour
aged in horse raising. The low price
now prevailing is due to a want of de
maud, on account of the electric c.ir
tystem which has been so generally
staousnea turoughout the cities aud
some parts of the country for rapid
transportation. Th:s i?, no doubt, in
tome part the cause of the weak de
maud for horses in tho markets. There
is, however, another cau?e which will
be found in over production. A few
years ago the horee craze, as it may
be called, prevailed atnoo iHimers,
and there was scarcely any one who
was not breeding either tirst-a'ass
roadsters or blooded drivers.
For these for a few year?, first-class
prices were obtained, and the demand
which wui at the time a fictitious one,
proauced by a sort of boom in horse
flesh, produced an over-supply, nn 1
now there are too many horses for the
market, which has for the time been
omewhat diminished by the electric
lines.
But good horses are always desira
ble, aud will iu the near future bring
better prices than now. Farmers wiil
understand what they need and for a
while, perhaps the supply will be short
of the deniaud, but the price will
again settle to a fair compensation for
the trouble and risk in raising guol
horse?. Good family horses will al
ways be iu deniau 1 iu the cities aal
iu the prosperous villages. Cits may
carry men to business audwutuea to
do their bhoppin?. but tbers is r. de
mand, iu hums not spam iu business,
for a carriage horse to supply u neui,
felt by almost evry well-to-do family,
that may have a rt?sUu! airing in the
country or ia the par'-is a-id suburbs
of the city. Farmer would do well
to turn their attention to raising
horses to supply this want. Ilorfes
should bo raised of tho best blood, not
for the turf, but for the carriage, and
as much more should bo taken in their
training for this purpose as is neces
sary to produce good conditioned,
qniet, trusty horses suited to driving
through all the bustle and noises of
tho city.
Tbis will require time and care in
tho trainer, but such horses will al
ways have a good sale, and can be
profitably raised.
Give us good family horses aud tho
demand will be sufficient to pay the
producer a good profit. Atlanta Jour
nal. FARM OWNERSHIP.
It does not require tho compilation
of figures to show that there is a
change gradually working itself
through the ownership of larin lands.
It is a fact open to general observa
tion that tho farms of the country aro
gradually dropping into tho hands of
tenants and in our opinion it is that
mneh worse for the country. No one
will dispute that the farmer has many
advantages in working land owned by
himself that can never aoorue to him
while the land is owned by another.
One of the leading causes to be as
signed for this state of things is the
fact of a desiro to overreach one's self
in the possession of lands. To make
use of a significant Western expres
sion, it comes of biting off more than
one can "chaw." We have long advo
cated as the best policy for farmers to
pursue in this matter that of cutting
down their possessions in lands rather
than that of extouding them. To il
lustrate: Any farmer in Eastern Ne
braska ought to be able to work to
the very best advantage on 100 acres.
We know of a great manv who do
good work and never feel cramped for
room with this acreage at their com
mand. They would prefer to eell
than bny. When the farmer makes up
his mind to this order of things it will
be some time before the Sheriff closes
him out. In the course of the next
ten years we look for a strouger pres
sure than ever before to bo brought
to bear upon this matter of reduoing
the size of tho farm. A new style of
farming is gradually to come into
vogue that will necessitate it. The
extension of irrigation systems and
tue growth an t expansion of the sub
soiling idea are destined to lead in
the direction of intensive farming in
the West. We are aware that it used
to be fashionable to spread one's self
over a large area in his farming opera
tions with a view of reducing tho oost
of production of orops. This day has
passed. Things have changed, and it
the farmer of to-day expects to con
tinue to own his own land he must
give more attention to each individual
aore and see that it does its share.

pome of the smartest, yen, brilliant, literar
Cnen dethroned from splendid positions,
owing to nothing else but their Indulgence
In wiue. I have known men with salaries ol
thousands of dollars per' year, ocoupyipg
positions which hundreds would strive i
life tlmo to obtain, come to beggary from
drink. Only recently there applied to ma
for any position I could offer uim, one ol
the most brilliant editorial writers in the
newspapor profession a man who, two yean
ago, easily commando 1 one hundred dollars
for a siugle editorial in his special field.
That man became so unreliable from drink
that the editors aro now afraid of his arti
cles, aud, although ho can to-day write a
forcible editorial as ut any timo during bis
life, lie sits iu a cellar in one ot our cittos

A SAD CASS.
A very sad ease was developed in one ol
our pollco courts recently, when a Woman
Will; brought before the judge oD A charge ol
drunkenness. About a year ago she com
menced drinking, and by degrees sold every
vestige of furniture and carpet in the house,
to pay for the liquor she craved. When
i)rrcated she was lying on a bare floor, in
on almost nude state, so that tho polloe-
San had to wrap her in a blanket, Defore
uoing her In the patrol wagon. When
brought into court, she made a pitiful plea,
as She clung to the railing in front of the
magistrate's desk. Phe olatmed that heA.
taste for drink was acquired in her days of
prosperity, through holding in her mouth
the paper covers of preserve Jars, wh)h she
had soaked in wbisly or brandy, to prevent
the trult from molding. lir husband was
a well-known mill worker, and bad refused
to give his wile money, a? she spent it all
for liquor. The family were once promi
nent and well to do tn the locality where
they live.
It arguments are needed against using
liquors of any kind in cookery, here is a
painful example of the results in one case. A
thrifty home ruined, a young life blighted,
and possibly a soul lost forevor. Temper

SALOON'S IN CITIES.
A study of the figures ot the number Ot
saloons lu other largo cities is Interesting:
Number of Ratio to
Citirs. Saloons. Population.
New York 7,300 I to every 284
Chicago. 7.01O 1 to every 243
Boston 1,080 1 to every 600
l'bihldclphla 1,355 1 to every 841
In Philadelphia there are'1355 retail liquor
Hocuses, a decrease of 3000 sluce the high
license law went Into operation. The sum
of (1000 is paid for each license. The Issue
of the license is under the control nud direc
tion exclusively oi the judges ol the courts.
THE "PUBLIC HOLSE."
The London Times, England's great Jour
nal, says of the liquor tratno in that coun
try: "It would be Impossible to Hud any
thing which standB for so much loss to soul,
body, and estate as the publio house. Even
if we accept the beBt case that cnu be made
for it iu principle, the fact is it is still a
huge buisauee nud inisery, there Is not a
vice, or disease, or disorder, or a calamity
of any kind that has not its frequent rise lu
the public house. The publlo house de
grades, ruins and brutalizes a largo faction
of tho BritUh poople."
CEsrr.ovs Boor and jiind.
Intemperance can not dwell In a sound
frame, or at least it never does. Disease ot
tbb mind, too, is not far off. It may be de
lirium or insanity, temporary or confirmed;
or it may stop short of that, rastiug at senile
driveling and childish folly. The moral
sense is blunted, and the better part ot man
sustains both degradation aud docay.

llerriilrs nnd he Itawk,
Some passengers over one of tho
Derlin Canal bridges the other day
noticed the sudden appearance of two
black points in the sky at a consider
able distance away, which developed
into two ducks. Behind I hem, accord
ing to the Cincinnati Enquirer, at a
lower level, flow another bird, whioh
suddenly rose into the air above the
ducks, and then shot down on them
like an arrow. One ol the ducks flew
Bldeways toward the Thiergarten ; the
other, closely pursued by it enemy,
flew slanting into tho canal, and,
reaching the water exactly be jind the
bridge, dived, while tho hawk, in his
blind haste, struck against tho head of
a statue of Hercules and fell, ouco
moro flapping its great wings, dead
ou the pavement of the bridge. The
bird was a splendid specimen, tho
wings having an rxpansiou of moro
than threo feet.
A reporter cnlled, on Wednesday
evening, Jlay i. 18M, at the rest- ..
dence of Mr. William McMahon, No.
1C88 Tearl street, Brooklyn villain
(Cleveland), O., to learn, If possible,
the cause of the notieeablo Im
provement In his physical condiliou
over that of a year ago, when he
was a sufferer from Indigestion and
various organi'i disorders. "Yon
see," began Mr. McMahon, "to start
with, my work that of settingrrpo
at the ease allows mo littlo chance
for bodily exercise, an I is alto
gether too confining for anybody who
is in the least subject to indigos
tionor dyspepsia. Perlinjis uot moro
so than ninny another moehnnle or
artisan who Is constantly indoors and
under severe mental strain, while
the physical development Is sadly lu
need of something to keep it In
trim. Well, that has been my com
plaint for years, nud some months
ago I became very bilious, and con
stipation made lilo miserable for
me at times. Then it took a seat in
my LIVEIl, which became no'.iceably
inactive, and I became alarmed
about It The first thing I turuej
my attention to was to secure a
'liver regulator, ' which, however,
failed to regulate; next I sought
relief lu 'liver pills,' which so pained
and grlpod me that tho cure was, I
thought, worse thau the disease.
The next thing I did was to throw
away the whole 'shooting match.'
and resolve to tako no more propri
etory medicines. However, on
hearing my lalo ot woe, one day, at
the office, a fellow-workman offered
me a small Tabulo liipaus he
called it which, he said, he would
guarautee to act ou Ihe liver. I
look It under protest, expecting to
be doubled up in about fifteen min
utes with the 'gripes.' But I wns
agreeably surprised in its action. It
was very gentle, and I resolved t i
try a box. Since then I have gra lu
nlly noted an entire change lu tho
working of my system, nnd think
that Bipans Tubules are the best
remedy for liver and stomach
troubles this side of anywhere.
They are really a substitute for
physical exercise. Have one beforo
you go?' And Mr. McMahon pro
duced his box of "stand-bys" from
his inside pocket as Ihe reportor
took his leave.
