B. Richards, district superintendent."
This order Issued from the office of
the superintendent of the Postal Tele

matter of grave concern to the wo

POLAR PHENOMENA.
The Mirage and the Mock Sun of the
Arctic Region*.
In the spring of 1000 I changed
over to tbe steamer Corwin nnd sailed
for the Arctic ocean to establish a
trading station somewhere on tho
northern shores of Alaska. Although
we went on a purely commercial ven
ture, there was a good deal of talk
about the pole during tbe seven months
we spent in the almost continuous sun
light
Dr. Cook relates instances of seeing
mirages above tbe ice fields? mountains
passing lo solemn review and some
times inverted and standing on their
peaks? but be goes on to say that there
were no forms of life. Mlrngo is a
common sight even In lower latitudes
than those mentioned by Dr. Cook. 1
have seen tbe spires and domes of well
defined buildings, whole cities. In fact,
appear above the horizon, sometimes
lingering for several minutes, or, again,
with their towers reaching up higher
and higher, attenuating apparently to a
mere thread. The "mock sun" Is a
common phenomenon in the Bering
sea. On tbe evening of June 2. 1000,
perhaps 100 miles south of St. Law
rence Island, nbout 9:30 o'clock and
past sunset, tbe sun was visible as
though half an hour high, but appear
ing as a much flattened oval. Then
another sun more nearly round emerg
ed from the horizon beneath the "gooso
egg." rising quite rapidly until it
blended with the descending orb.
Thereupon. Instead of settling below
the horizon, the light was quickly dls
slpaled in Ihe air. This phenomenon
was probably due to the unequal den- !
slty of several superimposed stratas
of air producing refraction of the sun's 1
rays from below tbe horizon.? Captain ,
Edwin Coffin of Zlegler Polar Expedi
tion in National Magazine.
Parental Severity.
Tbe children of two centuries ago
fell on stern times. If one may believe
that the spirit of family life was ac
curately expressed by an excellent
mother of that day who said, without
humorous intent, tbat ber children
"loved her as sinners dread death."
There Is little doubt tbat parental con
trol at tbat date was as rigorous as
this anecdote Indicates. It Is said that
when little Andrew Elliot, afterward
lieutenant governor of New York, ob
jected to boiled mutton his father, Sir
Gilbert Elliot, frowned.
"Let Mr. Andrew have boiled mut
ton for breakfast," commanded tbe
stem parent, "cold mutton for dinner
and cold mutton for supper till he has
learned to like it."- Youth's Compan
ion.

In a lecture delivered in the audi

Dr. Bancroft said.
"When you propose do it like a man

grovel on your knees. Marry your

of the marriages based on the financ

ended in a happy union."
