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.

A Modern Need for Sleep.
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. Dc Witt

IN HIGH LATITUDES.
Operation
on tlif Porcnpinc and Ynkou
Rivci.
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. Tho Por
cupine party, in "charge of Turner,
comprised Dr. H. N. Kierneff, H. "W.
Edmonds, assistant astronomer, and
the vorking crewGus. Bergman, John
Mead, Y. E. Lingard, Edwin Engle
stad, OttoPoltie, Charles Harkort and
"Wilh'am Bundquest. .
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. The veather is
cloudy, foggy and intensely cold, the
thermometer of ten registering 43 de
grees below zero or 77 degrees below
the freezing point. 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. Turner and
McGrath are expected to rejoin each
other soon at Fort Yukon, and to
return hero next October. Arrange
ments have been perfected vith Mr.
Firth for a sled journey northward to
tho shore of the Arctic in March.
Assistant astronomer Edmond3 vill

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

SrWASH CANOES.
J. II. 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."
