NEW NORTH POLE HUNTER
| “Musher” Will Be There the First
When a Gold Stampede
Is Started.
There is a popular belief in the ex
j treme northwest that the north pole
; will be discovered by a musher. and not
by any scientific polar expedition, says
the Sunset Magazine. This belief is
based on the conviction that a gold
, stampede -will eventually be started
toward north latitude 90 degrees, and
i that the rnushers will rush in where
' arctic explorers have feared to tread.
; So completely unknown to fame is this
' newcomer in the race for the pole that
! to the majority of people the name sug
j gests nothing but cereal breakfast food,
j Gilbert Parker, the novelist, who
| finds his most congenial theme in
Freneh-Candian life, has made his read
ers familiar with “Marche'-t’-en!” th-3
cry with which drivers of dog teams
urge forward their panting animals.
Frencli-Canadian trappers were among
the earliest white men in the far north
west, and American prospectors on the
Yukon soon learned to goad their dogs
on with the same cry, without, however,
understanding the French, which, in
their mouths, was rapidly corrupted to
“Muchon!” to this day an Alaska dog
driver's equivalent for “Gee up!”
Dog drivers generally rush with the
team and therefore from “Mush-on” has
come the noun musher, used all over
Alaska and the Yukon territory to des
ignate a trailsman. The musher is gen
erally prospector, stampeder and trails
man ail rolled into one, and Alaska trails
are such uncertain quantities that he
has frequently to make his own prece
dents over newly frozen sea and track
less snow. The musher achieves most
of his stampeding to new gold fields dur
ing the arctic winter, for then the rigid
sea becomes a highway and mighty
rivers need no bridging.
RAVAGES OF THE SOUVENIR
What Was Once a Harmless Fad Has
Become Almost a Univer
sal Mania.
The vogue of the illustrated souvenir
postal card has assumed the dimensions
of a literary peril. What was once a
harmless fad confined to more or less ec
centric visitors in out-of-the-way place#
has become all but a universal mania,
says the New York Post. The Boston
post office reports handling 25,000 of
these yellow imps in a single day. The
so-called comic valentine once tainted
the postman’s bag. Its influence, how
ever, lasted but for a day, while the sou
venir postal card ceaseth not day nor
night to cry for a destroyer.
From the point of view of growing
popularity these postal cards but evi
dence anew the danger with which
modern mechanism is continually en
compassing the other handicraft arts.
The printed book has driven out illus
trated missal. “The quarter-sawed oak”
of Kalamazoo has displaced Chippen
dale and Sheraton. And at last the illus
trated postal, with cheap ready-made
sentiment and chromo lithograph
threatens the letter of friendship, travel
and description. The residuary field of
the epistolary aft was long supposed to
be safe from the inroads of the printing
press. Political intelligence such as
fills Horace Walpole’s six stout vol
ume# of private letters has for over a
century been disseminated in the news
papers. Scientific news has long since
found similar media of publicity. But
the intimate unbosoming of friend to
friend at a distance has held at bayy all
the devices of modern machinery until
the advent of this substitute for a real
letter.
SPEAKING WITH EMPHASIS.
Calisthenics Accompany the Words
of Neapolitans When Dis
cussing Weather.
“Give a Neapolitan a pair of dumb
bells and ask him if he thinks it is like
ly to rain, and before his answer is
finished he will have taken enough
healthful exercise to last him all day."
! Once, says the London Clarion, a trav
■ eler sat with a friend in a cafe at
I Naples. Near them were two Italians
' engaged in conversation. The younger
| of the two seemed much excited.
With his hands he made reaching and
clinging motions, as if climbing. Tlieu
he seemed to be groping for cherries in
the air. a6 he reached right and left
above his head. Next, without slacken
ing his con versa! ion, he put the thumb
and forefinger of his left hand together,
and holding them befory his eyes, went
through the careful movements of one
threading a small needle, and all the
time he talked.
Suddenly his manner changed. He
made overhand motions, as if throwing
something. Then he apparently Imitated
a swimmer, and immediately afterward
described several circles with his left
hand, giving the impression of a rapid
ly revolving wheel.
Finally he leaned forward, and with
his right hand acted the part of a per
son endeavoring to put a key into a key
hole.
The traveler w as overcome by curios
ity. He turned to his friend, who un
derstood Italian, and asked hint what
the plot of the story was.
“Oh, nothing.” replied the other.
“They’re chatting about the weather."
A Kindred Job.
“Met Seribblerus the other day; says
he is going to give up writing poetry
and go into the gas business.”
"Not such a great change; he never
could manage to make his meter wot it
right.”—Baltimore American.

CAPTURING THE WILD DUCK
Clever Scheme of the Chinese Is Suc
cessful Among the Wary
Water Fowl.
__
A full-grown wild duck is one of the
most wary of all wild creatures. A wa
j ternfan may be working all day long
' with shovel and pickax, says the author
| of “Bird Life and Lore." barely a stone -
throw from a large flock of widgeon an :
| wild ducks, and they will not notice bin-,
! for they know that he means them no
| harm. But let a sportsman enter the
j meadows and hide his gun e er so care
; fully, and make himself ever so sii.ai,
; if is ten to one that they will rise in a
cloud when he is some four gunshots
! away from them, and take themselves
off to a place of greater safety.
There is one method of talcing wild
ducks in considerable numbers, prac
i tieed in China and in some other coun
| tries; which is so amusing and 30 little
' known as to deserve notice.
The natives take care that a large
j number of big calabashes, or gourds.
' should always be left floating on the wa
j ter frequented by the birds, til! they
' get to regard them as part and parcel
; of their . resorts. The duck-hunter
I chooses his time, and, putting one of the
I calabashes, with holes cut for his
I mouth and eyes, upon his head, he
! wades through the lake, taking care to
keep the whole of his body well be
neath the surface. He cautiously ap
proaches the unsuspecting wild fowl,
and, catching c>«e of them by the leg,
pulls him, with a sudden jerk, beneath
the water, causing hardly more commo
tion of the surface than the duck itself
often makes when it dives, or plashes,
or plunges for its food. He wrings its
neck under the water and fastens it to
his belt. Then he deals with another
and another in the same fashion, till he
makes his retreat, equally unnoticed,
with a whole girdleful of captured wild
ducks round his waist.
SOFT-EYED MEN OF PACIFIC
Loochoo Islanders Who Possess Most
Winning and Remark
able Optics,
A woman traveler who lately visited
the Loochoo islands, in the Pacific, de
scribes her first impressions in the
North China Herald. The first thing
that struck her on landing was the fact
that the coolies who tumbled lazily
aboard her ship were “very much addict
ed to the use of hats, and very little to
the use of any other clothing.” She
continues: “I can best describe the
hats by an exclamation of one of our
party, ‘What beautiful waste paper
baskets they'd make!’ These hats were
fastened on with loops of thick, brown,
hairy palm rope, through which were
passed cotton strings tied under the
chin. Every man’s face was ornament
ed with a thin, brownish black beard
and mustache, and it was often hard to
tell where the beard left off and the
hairy rope began. Wisps of unkempt
hair also straggled about the neck, giv
ing to the man the look of some savage
creature. Taking in these details, my
eyes came at last to the eyes of these
seemingly wild savages, and lo! I
looked into large, soft, black eyes, so
wide apart, like those of the ruminating
animals. And In their depths lurked a
good-natured smile, just waiting to an
swer one from me. I never got used to
the incongruous effect of those gentle
eyes and that fierce beard on each
other.”
COLLEGE GIRL AS MOTHER
Collection of Baby Pictures Shows
Conclusive Evidence of
Fitness.
An instructor at Vassar college has an
odd and interesting collection of photo
graphs—the photographs of the babies
of young women who are college gradu
ates, says an exchange, are strong and
beautiful. They number over 300. The
instructor said of them:
"I began to collect pictures of the
children of female A. B.’s and A. M.’s
because I had h^ard so much talk about
the higher education unfitting woman
for her natural sphere, and soon.
"My collection proves that the high
er education makes mothers of an ex
eellece hitherto unknown. Highly edu
cated women don’t weaken themselves
with tight corsets, with overmuch danc
ing and card playing. They are athletic
and strong. Their bodies as well as
their minds are developed.
"They enter upon the duties of moth
erhood with a unique courage and wis
dom and strength, and the result is that
their babies are the biggest, strongest,
handsomest little creatures—"
She pointed toward the 300 photo
graphs.
"But just look at those pictures." she
cried. "Just look at them.”
Cento Books.
“This votume.” said the bibliophile,
“is a cento. It is composed of de
tached sentences taken from the worms
of Thackery. It makes a novel, sen
sible, but short, and it was composed
in seven years by a bed-ridden baron
ess. The best known cento is probably
| the Empress Eudozie's ‘Life of Christ,
i made entirely of lines from Homer.
There is a similar life composed by
Ross, that consists wholly of detached
! lines from Virgil. Centos are often
very valuable. One compiled by' Alex
, auder Hamilton from Milton’s Para
Jise Lost’ sold not long since for $500
The book was a history of America.’
Placing the Blame.

' 1 field peculiarly ar.d exclusively it* own.
It is issued twice every week. A big Semi-Weekly
paper. Eight t ten large pages every Tuesday and Friday,
j One Dollar a year. - . I gSSj
i Nothing particularly different, you say, about that—there
j are other ‘’Twice a-Week” pap rs.
Yes. but the similarity ends there. No other paper is like
the Globe-Democrat in any other respect. N other paper
equals the Globe-Democrat in any respect.
An entirely unique feature of the Globe-Democrat, a
feature which is, highly prized by its readers, is its systematic
! method of preserving and presenting the continuity of news.

fully prepared with the view of giving the complete news of
! all the world for that week.
They are so combined in the make-up a* to form continued A
! connected stories of the various important events, showing the
developments from day to day and the final results. _
Other weekly and twiee-a-week papers, as a rule, print
i fa\tr foiaOTeJJ JYI« nf t hp flflV of 1SS11P.
The “Twice-a-Week” Globe-Democrat gives the telegrams

all the earth—and something more.

plete form. It is of equal interest in all parts of the United
States. It is invaluable alike to men and women, youpg and
old. r

ports are correct and complete in every detail.
Its departments devoted to “TheHome,” “The Farm and
Garden,” “The Family Circle,” “The Sunday School,”
“Science and Industry,” are each and all The Best of their
kind and either one is more than worth the subscription price
of the paper.
In politics it is strictly Republican, but it is above all a
newspaper, and it tells the truth without fear or favor. If
has no equal or rival as a great National news and home
journal.
