AN INTF.IIKCPTEII I'KAYEK. Story of llie Days Win n 31r.iaj;rJ,iVjl Were Uuki own. Some seventy years ago, when a menagerie vas almost a thing un known, and a solitary wild beast v:is now and then earned about the coun try for exhibition, says the Wide Airake, a certain New England village was thrown into great commotion by the news that an elephant v:is to be exhibited in a neighboring town. The village which is the scene of my story was not large enough to induce his ex hibitors to make any stay there, but his road lay through it. Now, an ele phant could not be packed away or in any manner be kept out of .sight. Mis jonrney must be in full view, and everybody could get a look at him, and everybody was excited accordingly. Day after day passed no elephant. Tlie exhibition had been advertised for a Monday, and Salur night had corns, with no tidings of the famous traveler. Sunday morning! The 'Vound of the church-gong be!l" summoned tho ptople. Parson Adams had begun M he long prayer" and the congregation slo kI, devoutly atten tive, to all appearance. Rut there w.ifr at last one exception, for Dr. Dob-son's pew, ueiu an open window commanded a iew of the highway, and Dr. Dobson's eyes vide open, were fixed upon the prospect. A cloud of dust arose then slowlv j above the hill opposite the window the head of the huge beast came into sight. The eager doctor forgot time and place, and shouted, "The ele phant's coming! there he is!" he vas out or the window like a dart. OJF rushed the congregation, and whether parson Adams htuslicu Ins prayc tradition has not told. An Easter 1 Costin; S4.000.

There is not a man or voman in 10, 000 who can afford to do without seven or eight hours' sleep. All those stories vritten about great men and women who slept only threo or four honrs a night make very interesting readiug: but I tell you, my dear readers, no man or woman ever yet kept healthy in body and mind for a number of years with less than seven hours' sleep. Americans need more sleep than they arc getting. This lack makes them so nervous and the insane asylums so populous. If you can get to bed early. If you cannot get to bed till late rise lnte. It may bo as christian for one man to rise at b as it is ror an other to rise at 5. I counsel my read ers to get up vhen they are rested. But let tho rousing bell be rung at least 30 minutes before your public appearance. Physicians say that a sudden jump out of bed gives irregular motion to the pulse. It takes hours to get over a too sudden rising. Give us time, after yon call us, to roll over, gaze at tho vorld full in tho face, and look -before vc leap. T.

Au expedition sent out by the United States coast and geodetic sur vey to locate the boundary of Alaska, take scientific observations, etc., sailed from San Francisco Jnne 11, 3S90, in tho steamer Her Ilia. It vas subse quently subdivided into two parties, under the respective commands of J. Henry Turner aud sub-assistant Mc Grath. At Fort Yukon the parties separated, that under Turner follow ing tho Porcupine river, and the Mc- Grath party going 200 miles further north on the Yukon. No detailed nevs has since come from tho Mc Grath party, except that it is reported to have arrived in safety at its desti n ation on August 18th 1 ast.

From a communication just received by Professor Davidson from Mr. Tur ner, it seems that his party has en countered many hardships, had nar row escapes from destruction and made some important discoveries. The letter is dated Camp Colonna, Jan. 1, 1S90. It states that the low vater necessitated tho navigation of the Porcupine river in the vhalo boat Lottie and one ot tho Alaska Commer cial company's lighters. Tho distanco traveled tho first day vas only threo miles. The second day tho party nar rowly escaped drowning, and for some minutes an Indian assistant hung suspended over the brink of tho river until ho vas almost strangled by ins "harness.' Otto Poltie slid over a waterfall, severely injuring himself, and vas left behind on the lighter in tho care ot an Indian. During a thunderstorm, August 11th, tho ex plorers reached tho Bampart house, a station of the Hudson Bay company. Formerly it has been supposed to bo on British territory, but from observa tions taken it is now proved to be twenty miles vest of the boundary line, on American soil. An Indian, vhilo trying to take a tow-line across the river, was drowned. Camp vas established August 17th, about 230 miles east ot the mouth of tho Porcupine river, vhere it empties into the Yukon. At the mouth of the Sunaghun. tvo miles distant, a house and several observatories vere built of logs aud covered vith moss and boughs, and occupied early in October. Camp Colonna is situated in G7 deg. 2o miu. north latitude and HI deg. west longitude.

Tho men vero dressed in the varmest of furs, still William Lingard had his left hand severely frozen. Charles Harkort had the end of the right handmiddlo finger torn off and for two veeks vrnx unable to do any manual labor. It is reported that the new steamer Arctic rau ashore in a heavy sea near tho mouth of the river. Her boats veresvamped and tho entire cargo vas carried away. Tlie parties of Messrs.

The Feminine Shirt. The shirt has come to slay. A month ago it vas regarded as a. vhim of the season, now it is established in favor and counted an indispensable feature of a veil-dressed woman's vardrobe. Heretofore Dr. Mary Walker had solo claim on tho stilF shirt bosom. Later camo Mrs. Jean etto Thurber in her tweed cutaway coat, jauntily buttoned over A waist coat and soft-finished shirt, and from tho date of American opera to the last gasp of Italian school she remained the one devotee of the feminine shirt in Now York society. Now all tho tailor made girls in the town are done up in stiff bosom3, standing collars and long cuffs, and the old fashioned shirt makera havo been called upon to mako to measure tho nether garment so long the undisputed property of men. The result is a ladv's shirt as snug- fitting as a glove and as comfortable as a fichu, vliich under the lightest tailor-made bodice does not show a crease. By means of darts the usual baggincss at the sides is done away with and but for tho drawstring at the vaist might be appropriated by tho men. Tho most recent developments, as adapted for ladies' vear, is the vashing silk in twills ot the neatest design. They are made to tit like the linen ones, havo a band down tho front and a stiff collar, vith another to turn down over it. Perhaps the comfort as well as the jautiness of these shirts forms their chief recommendation; tney allow perfect freedom of movement; they arc cool and always look neat and fresh. Not only are they seen on the promenade, under yachting, tennis and cycling jackets, but under veil fitting riding coats they are decidedly smart. From all appearances society has adopted the shirt as a fashionable and feminine garment. 2Ten York World. A Costlv Urny;.

Mallett of Helena, Tells Haw tk Natives Build Their Boats. "While visiting one of the sosll towns along Puget Sound," said J. H. Mallett, of Helena, to a Spokase Falls Review reporter,' "I was greatly interested m tho vay the Siwash, In dians built their canoes. It is resllj - vonderf ul hov these dirty aborigines can vith the crudest means and with a fev days' vork convert an un wieldy log into a trim and pretty canoe. One Monday morning I sfiw . a buck building" a fire at the base of a largo cedar tree and ho told me that this vas the first step in the construction of a canoe that he intended to use upon the following Saturday. He kept tho fire biirnnifr merrily all that day and fat into the night, vhen a wind came np and com-, pleted the downfall of the monarch oE tho forest The next day tho buot arose betimes and borrowing a cross cut saw from a logger vho vas absent, on a drunk cut the trunk of the tree in tvain at a point some fifteen feet from vhere it had broken off, and then vith a dull hatchet he hacked away nntil the log had assumed tho shape of the desired canoe. In this vork he vas helped by his squaw. The old fellow then built a fire on the upper side of tho log, guiding the course of the fire vith daubs of clay, and in due course of time the interior of the canoe had been burned out Halt a day's vork vith tho hatchet rendered the inside smooth and shapely. The canoe vas nov, I thought, complete though it appeared to be dangerously narrow of beam. This, tho Indian soon remedied. He filled tho shelLtwo-'V thirds full of vater andinto the fluid he dropped half a dozen stones thafthad been heating in the fire for nearly a day.. The vater at once attained "a. boiling point, and so softened the wood that the buck and the squaw vere en abled to drav out the sides and thus supply tho necessary breadth, of beam. Thvart3 and slats vere then placed in the canoo and tho vater and stones thrown out "When the steamed wood began to cool and contract the thwarts held it back and the sides held the thwarts, and there the canoe vas, com plete, without a nail, joint or crevice, for it vas made of one piece o wood. The siwash did not completeit as soon as ho had promised, but it only took him eight days." The. Clani and the Sage. A clam vho had made np his mind that his country vas going to the dogs if ho did not save it vas rolling along tho beach, vhen he encountered a sage, vho asked: "Whither bound and for what pur pose?' "I have set out to save the country. I have solved all tho political and so cial problems and I nov go to an nonnco them to tho vorld." "My dear bivalve," said the sage, in his gentlest tones, "the first great problem of life, as you are probably1 prepared to announce, is the food sup ply. Thanks for your coming. I shall eat yon!
