Thair Fight Against Death by 8tarva tien and tha Viaiona That War Con jured Up by tha Tortura of tha Mad daning Panga of Hunger. Tbe terrible phantom tljiit haunts very traveler In tbe desert In the pos sibility that be will uot Und water. Tbe arctic explorer rarely suffers from thirst, but another danger, equally terrible and menacing. Ih always on bis trull starvation. Id '"Lost In the Arctic" ' Captain EJuar Mlkkelsen, tin- explorer who, after having been given up for dead for over two yearn, was p. eked up In east Greenland by a sailing vessel, elves a graphic account of bis race against hunger. Their sledge dogs dead, tbclr outfits abandoned, every morsel of food long since devoured. the only bone of Mlkkelsen and bis companion was to reach 17 Kilometer Naesset where, on the fall trip, they bad left a few tins of food. "Every two hours we make a abort bait, but the rest Is spoiled by the thought of the uncomfortable quarter of an hour that awaits us when we start and try to get our stiffened mus cles Into working order again. Our feet especially are very painful; the ankles ure swollen and horribly tender. "The pangs of hunger Increase every minute. For my own part, I enn think of nothing but food. At first my thoughts dwell upon all sorts of dishes, but gradually they concentrate them selves upon sandwiches Danish sand wiches, in particular my fancy turns upou tbe food that I have seen given away to beggars, and I grow furious at tbe thought of the contempt wltb which these gentry often regard such gtfts. "Gradually the thought takes posses- slon ot mo that 1 am walking In the streets of Copenhagen, eagerly on tbe lookout for sandwiches. Suddenly I spy what I urn Booking, a little white object lying to the right of me. I turn to pick It up, but as I stop my foot strikes against a stone. The1 shock brings me buck to stem reality. I take in my belt and stagger on again. "Iversen Is In no better case. I notice that be frequently stops and peers through the lleldgluss at something on ahead; then ho lets the glass full again, with a shako of the head. Once or twice I nnlc what he Is looking at but the answer Is nlways the same he thought he had discovered a caso of provisions, but It turned out to be a rock. "According to our reckoning, we ought to reach IT Kilometer Nncssot by about 0 in the evening. We keep a harp lookout for the point and sight something about 4 -o'clock that looks like it Once more, however, we are doomed to disappointment It Is not the point "We pass many old camping places, relics of tbe Denmark expedition; but, although we search long and corefully among the old tins for any remains of food, we find nothing. In the gather ing durkness every point we approach seems to us the one we seek Encour aged by the thought of food, we re double our efforts. Rut when we get close enough to see that It Is not the point our flickering flume of energy dies down, and we stagger sullenly Klein with bowed heads "We buve no longer any Idea of our whereabouts, and It Is Indescribably uncanny to see time after time the same headland with the two small hil locks at Its foot, the ghost of 17 Kilo meter Naesset. About 10 o'clock, half mad with hunger and exhaustion, we give It up and, creeping as close to gether as possible, try to sleep, lint I he pain In Iversen's leg Is so great thai be cannot sleep, and he Is half out of his mind. He wakes me at mid night and begs me to go on. "It Is bitterly cold, and the wind has shifted so that It Is blowing In our faces Staggering unsteadily and feel lug our way with our sticks, off we go Into the darkness, 'Finally, after another long march, we sight h point that resembles 17 Kilometer Naesset and this time It Is mi trick of the Imagination. The race Is won. for at the point we find fuel and tins of soup and peas." BIG CATS AND CATNIP". Leopard and Tiger Fairly Raveled In tha Odoroua Plant. Some oue at tbe Washington zoolog ical park obtained tlie permission of tbe authorities to try tbe effect of cat nip on tbe auimuls there. So fur as known catnip does not Vow In the native homes of these animals, and this was the first time they had ever smelled It Tbe scent of the plant tilled the whole place, and mm soon us It reached tbe parrots' comer tbe two gaudily at tired macaws set up a note that told fearfully on the nerves of all and made for that side of their cage, pok ing their beaks and claws' through it When the catnip was brought near them they became nearly frantic. Tbey were given some mid devoured It, stem, leaf and blossom, with an eagerness that equaled tbe noise of their cries. Next trial was made on an African leopard. Before the keepers had reach ed tbe front of the cage be bad bound ed from the shelf whereon be lay, ap parently asleep, and stood expectant A double handful of catnip was passed through to tbe floor of tbe den. Never was the prey of this spotted African In his wild state pounced upon more savagely or with such abso lute enjoyment First the leopard ate a mouthful of the stuff, then lay Bat on bis back and wiggled through the green muss until his black spotted yel low bldo was (Hied with tbe odor, Just as you have sen a cut act when it re ceives some catnip. Then be sat on a bunch of the cat nip, caught a leaf laden stem up In either paw nnd rubbed his cheeks, chin, nose, eyes nnd bead. lie ate an additional mouthful or two and then Jumped back to his shelf, where he lay the rest of tho ufteruoon, the very picture of contentment In one tiger's cage thero Is a very young but full grown animal. When this great, surly beast inhaled the first sniff of the catnip he began to mew like n kitten. Up to this time the soft est nolo of bis voice bud been one which put the roar of tbe big mancd lion near lilm to shame. That vicious tiger fairly reveled in the liberal allowance of the plant which was thrust Into bis cage. IIo rolled about In It and played like a alx-weoka-old kitten. lie mewed and purred, tossed It about, ate of It and. after getting about as liberal a dose as the leopard hud, likewise jumped to his shelf mid blinked lazily the rest of the day.

When Dewey Feared He Miaht Be Branded aa a Coward. Admiral Oewey tells In his autobi ography tho story of his most anxious moment. It was when he was execu tive olllcer of the warship Mississippi, After passing the forts ut New Orleans his ship was about to sink under fire. and the crew bad to be taken off in bunts. Thero were not enough boats, and the danger of a magazine explo sion became so great that the crews showed Increasing hesitation In return ing for another load. On a sudden ltu- pulso Dewey Jumped Into one of the boats to go after the rowers and com pel them to return. Ho continues; "Not until we were free of the ship did I have a second thought In realiza tion of what I had dono. I had left my ship In distress when It Is the rule that the lust man to leave her should be the captain, and I as executive olll cer should be next to the last. "That was the most anxious moment of my career. What If a shot should sink the boat? What If a rlllu bullet should get me? All the world would say that I had been guilty of about as craven an act as can be placed at the door of an ollleer. This would not be pleasant reading for my father up In Vermont. Me would no longer think that I had done the 'rest' reasonably well. If the ship should blow ud while I was away and I should appear on the reports as saved probably peo ple would smile over my explanation.' As It turned out, however, the tunirii sine did not explode, and Dewey's presence was needed to bring the boat crews back and save tho men still on tho sinking ship. MOODS OF THE RHINO. Emotions It Exhibits at tha Sight and Odor of Men. . mi. - . j.ue recognizco, presence or men rouses In the rhinoceros several emo tions, widen In the order of their In tensity I should put as bewilderment rear, aull curiosity and truculence. If the men are merely seen usually the only emotions aroused are bewilder ment and curiosity; if smelled fear Is the usual result, but In a certain num ber of cases even the sight or tbe smell of men arouses senseless rage. Some rhinog are always cross and evil tempered, but many others which are normally good nuturcd now and then have fits of berserker fury. Any thing conspicuous which arouses their Interest may also arouse their hostility. White has an evil attraction for them. My friends the McMillans while trav eling through a rhino country found that the two white horses of their cav alcade were so frequently charged that tncy nnaily painted them khaki, color. I have never, seen them charge other game, and gazelles and hnrtebeests feed In their Immediate neighborhood with Indifference, yet I have been In formed by trustworthy eyewitnesses of one rhinoceros charging n herd of zebra and another some buffalo. The rhinoceros usually gets out of the Way of the elephant. It will un questionably on occasions charge men nnd domestic animals entirely unpro voked. Twice I have known of one charging an oxen wagon. In one case an ox was killed, in tho other the rhino got entangled In tho yokes and trek tow, nnd the driver, an Africander, lashed It lustily with his great whip until It broke loose and ran off,, leaving the ox spun tumbled In wild confusion.

One of the Moat Trying Ordeala In an Opera Artiet'a Career. Specially constructed violins, cellos, tubas, drums and reed Instruments are required as accompaniment to tbe grand opera singer wbeo be or she essays to waft the voice upon a pbono- grupn record. And It is safe to say this singing to tbe phonograph Is the most trying ordeal In tbe artist's ca reer. Singers like Caruso. Melba. Farrar. Amato and a host of others are united In declaring tbe singing for records Is the hardest work they ever have undertaken. Tbey are bereft of their audiences that inspire confidence, and they necessarily must be careful to avoid false notes or Inflections. The slightest clearing of the throat or the muffled shuttling of feet will spoil a record. And then it all has to be done over again. lae singer Is ushered Into a great barnlike room, curtained off at one end. Through this curtain protrudes a gigantic brass born, suspended from the celling. It Is attached to the pho nograph record. It Is then the singer notices a bevy of musicians, but with Instruments the like of which be never has seen In any theater. The violins are of different shapes from the Instruments wltb wbjch he Is familiar. The horns are of varied shapes, and to each Is attuched a little funnel that noints In the direction of the large receiving horn. This Is to concentrate the sound. The conductor sits on a platform nigh above his musicians and the singer. Tims be offers no obstruction to the free transmission of the sound waves. The singer Is stationed anon platform and close to the mouth of the horn. A red light flashes, the musicians pour forth light, soft melody, for which their Instruments nre pnrtlou luriy designed, and the grand opera artist loosens his vocul cords. His tone must be steady and strong. The slightest variation is recorded upon the wax record, and a trivial noise may spoil the performance. Once he has finished, the record Is placed upon a producing machine and played over to detect" faults. These errors are pointed out and the singer rehearsed to prevent them. Again be repeats the song, and perhaps a dozen times he is forced to sing before a perfect wax Impression Is , obtained. Great grand opera artists are paid thousands of dollars for a series of rec ords, and the sale of these brings mil lions to tho manufacturers. Indian apolis Star. FACED A FOREIGN FLAG. A British 8emn'e Prank That En raged tha Brazilians. Tbe harbor of Hlo de Janeiro is one of the wonders of the world. You enter a narrow strait guarded by towering conical mountain and discov er a glorious Inland sea surrounded on every side by abrupt and precipi tous mountains, many of them wltb tbe most fantastic outlines. I should imagine, says the Hon. Stephen Cole ridge in "Memories," that all the fleets of the world might anchor there in safety. . In tbe early seventies a couple of fcngllsb bluejackets in search of ad venture climbed to tbe top of tbe mountain that guards the entrance, hauled after them a flagstaff and union jack, set up the pole on the summit and unfurled tbe flag to tbe Oreeze. The astounded and Indignant Brazil lans awoke one morning to And an alien bunting flying over their territory rrom its most conspicuous eminence. Protests were lodged with the English minister, who, wltb tbe utmost po liteness, apologized for the thoughtless escapade of some entirely unknown persons and gravely told the Brazilian government that of course be would have no possible objection to the prompt removal of tbe flag and pole. The emperor, however, could find no subject In all bis wide empire who would volunteer to make tbe ascent to the summit of the mountain, which the people of Rio de Janeiro consider ed unscalable. in this embarrassing dilemma the Brazilian government determined to knock over the staff by shooting at It The Brazilian fleet was ordered to shoot the offending pole off tbe top of the mountain. Either they could not train their guns to the required angle of elevation or the target was too nar row for a successful shot At any rate, tbe English flag flying over the proud Brazilian city remained, braving the battle and tbe breeze, till it rotted away.

In "The Memoirs of an American Prima Donna.", by Clara Louise Kel logg, the author tells of her triumph as Violottu in "Travlatu." She argued that Vlolettn would probably love curi ous and exotic combinations, so she dressed the part In a gown of rose pink and pale primrose yellow tbnt seemed to be altogether euchnutlng. Apropos of the Violettu gowns, I sang the part during one season with a tenor whose hands were always dirty. I found tlie back of my pretty frocks becoming grimier and grimier and greasier nnd greasier, and, us I provided my own gowns nnd had to be economical.

Tn deciding the Hillsboro liqnor cases at Albany recently Judgo Galloway in declaring his opinion said: "Tho feeling over the liquor question in this state is now intense and I find that instead of looking at a decision ns a ruling on a point of law, many people talio tho decision as a personal one ami attack tho character of the judge malt ing it). i'or that reason I think it fair that at this time in deciding this case I should make a statement on this Mat ter. This court always has been very strict in enforcing tho local option law. It has been my practice and the court records of the third judicial district will bear this out, to impose jail sen tences in these oases and usually a heavy fine as well. "The records will show that this court always has strained the law in favor of temperance anil in enforcing tho local option liquor law, but I can not and will not go beyond what I believe to be the law to rule in any direction. Any magistrate, even a jus tice of the peace, should rule in cases just as though it was tho final adjudi cation. Tt is a weakness to deliberate ly pass the caso up to tho supreme court. Friends Write Letters. I have received letters from friends urging mo not to rulo against popular opinion in this matter, that my deci sion would not hurt even if wrong, as the supreme court will pass upon it any way. these letters havo urged me to 'get in the baud wagon' and decide the elections legal. But I consider such action would be cowardly. I believe under the law that the election was il-, legal, and I will have to rule that way. "This is not the first time this court has been criticised for a decision in this kind of a case. Several years ago I had to rule that such an election in Yamhill county was illegal, and in that decision I was affirmed by the supreme court. For that decision I was criticised, notwithstanding that at that time I was a resident of Yamhill county, and personally voted to make tho county dry in order that tho Bap tist collego in McMinnville should be in a town without saloons." The points on which Judge Galloway decided tho Ilarrisburg case were tho sumo as the Salem case, that the elec tion must bo held at tlio dato of a gen eral election, or, if it bo held in an "off year," at tho same time as a city elec tion, lie also held that not a sufficient number of the signers of tho petition for the election wcro registered voters, that is, registered voters under the old system, tho new system hnving been declared unconstitutional.
