The Finnish boots, or "Finnskor," | { used by Nansen and other arctic ex- | plorers, were exeelled both in light | | ness and warmth by the native boots. | A single fur coat of deerskin made fo | Norway weighed as much as an entire | Eskimo suit of outer and Inner gar { ments, with boots and mittens includ- ied, and was stiff as wet salicloth, while the native garments were soft as a kid glove.

Stefans | son In Harper's Magazine, ---- SPEAKING PLAINLY. The Judge's Request and the Counsel's Prompt Response. A young and afterward distinguished | attorney from ah up country district of New York staté was arguing his first | appeal In the old general term of the! supreme court. He had been in many | | legal scrimmages in justices' courts | at home, but had never stood in the | awesome presence of five sedate and | learned judges of the supreme court! in general term assembled. [lis em- barrassment was great. He repeated | himself and misplaced his words 80 | often that it was quite evident that he must sdon be routed by his own con- | fusion unless something should oceur | to break the spell. Finally, and Just | as he was floundering the deepest in a chaotic jumble of language and ideas, | the presiding judge interrupted with | the following remark: "Mr. Smithers, I believe it will be a great relief to yourself sad to the court if you will address us in the same free and informal way that you doubtless use in addressing your local justice of | the peace." "Well, then," replied Smithers, "I wish that while I am busy alleviating your honor's dense ignorance of the law you would keep your confounded mouth shut!" The court laughed heartily and waved for him to proceed. | He grew eloquent and won his case in | the. midst of hearty applause.~Bohe mian Magazine. Some of the Trials of Writers. Professor Lounsbury of Yale calls at | tention to some of the difficulties of | English grammar with which writers | have constantly to struggle in their de | sire to avold obscurity and be correc | at the same time. In Harper's Maga zine Professor Lounsbury takes up the use of "whose" as a relative pronous referring to inanimate objects and jus tifles its use since nothing better cat be devised. He discusses the use o the singular pronoun with the word "everybody," as in "There everybody met his friends." This is manifestly inadéquate, and "his or her friends" hi clumsy. Jane Austen, wgjtes the pro fessor, avoided the difficulty by using the plural pronoun, as in her sentence "They say everybody is In love onct In their lives." He thinks no satisfac tory solution of this problem can, Is the nature of thie case, ever be reached A Feast of Kisses. "1 once visited the little town of Hal magen, in Roumania," said a strolling | player who ased to wander into the | odd corners of the world, "but even I- | and my halr is getting a little thin, and | I wouldn't take first prize In a beauty | contest--got enough kisses in one cay | to last an average lifetime. It seems | that Halmagen from time immemoria! has bad an annual festival, and on this day. the population of about eighty vii lages come swarming in. Every young woman of the town, married or single, goes out on this day carrying a vessel of wine and a small garland of Sowers. To every visitor they offer a sup of wine and a kiss." vompulsory Education. "I never thought him very bright, but he. certainly' bas a splendid educa- tion."

THE _DAILY BRITISH WHIG, MONDAY, MARCH 30, THE ODOR oF SANCITY. | A French Writer's Theory of How It May Be Exuded by Man. Dr. Georges Dumas is the author of in the 'Revue de Paris on "The Odor of Sanctity." The writer pccepts as true the numerous reported instances of saints and mystics of the Catholic church whose bodies after death or during moments of ecstasy emitted peculiarly pleasing odors of various kinds. Then men and women Dr. Dumas, were neurasthenes, and it fs not impossible that tue aroma of sanctity which surrounded them was | the product of strictly physiological and chemical changes common to all pien, but present in highly intensified form in subjects who, so to speak, burned up the candle of their existence at an unusually rapid rate. He says in part: "So far, then, we have come acress a great varlety of perfumes--cinnamon, clove, orange, pineapple, rose, violet, lily of the valley, yellow amber and benzoln. Now, the natural constitu- tion of all of these is well known, and chemistry produces them daily for com- mercial purposes. We may therefore substitute the equivalent chemical ex- pressions for the ordinary terms we have employed and say that orange, ¢lnnamon, violet and musk owe their perfume to aldehydes and acetones, aromatic liquids derived from the alco- hols, just as the artificial essence of pineapple comes from butyric " We have, then, to ask whether the man body can produce odorous com- pounds of the kind we have mentioned and under what conditions. As a mat- ter of fact, it does produce a certain number of such compounds in the de- struction of organic matter, which is in par- ticular acetoneés and the volatile fatty acids, butyric, formie, acetic, ete. If | the process of combustion is normal all | these constituents are burned up, com- pletely oxidized, and give as a residue water, carbonle acid and urea. But Jet some slackening occur in the inmost nutrition of the tissues and the same eoustithents will escape through the breath, perspiration and the skin" Persevere. I have often heard people In mature life say, "If I had only kept on as®l had begun, If T had @hly persisted in carrying out my ambition, I might have amounted to something and been infinitely happier," Multitudes of people have led mis- erable lives of regret, with thwarted ambitions constantly -terturing them, simply because in a moment of weak- ness and discouragement they turned back. If there is any time a person needs nerve, grit and stamina it is when tempted to turn back, when the "Don't you see 'how foolish it Is for you to try You have not the means or the strength. How foolish to sacrifice years of comfort and pleas ure at home among the people who love you for thé sake of doing what you have undertaken! It is better to turn back and acknowledge your mistake than to go on and sacrifice so much." Whatever you do or how heavy the burden, do not lay it down at such a time. No matter how dark the way or how heavy the heart, wait | until the "blue" depression or the dis- couragement has passed before taking any decided step.--Success Magazine, Customs of the Street. In crowded city streets, especially in London and Parle, when a driver is halted by another @river ahead of him he throws up his band or his whip per- pendicularly as a warning to the man back of him. Thus warned, the next driver checks his team and then holds Lis hand or his whip as a warning to the man back of him. Thus there might be seen going up one after an- other in a line stretching back hands or whips to the number of half a dozen or wore as the drivers were successive ly halted or slowed down by the block: ade in front. So of drivers of horse drawn vehicles whose drivers common: Iy sit high where their hands or whips can be seen above their-heads. This signaling is done somewhat differently Ly the drivers of automobiles, who sit low, So in such circumstances what the. antomobile driver does. to signal | to the man back of him that he Is held up is to stretch his arm out oufside of | his vehicle horizontally to the right. Book Auction Back In 1732 John Montgomerie, governor of the province of New York, died on July 1 1731. In the New York Gazette of May 8, 1732, Is the following advertisement the first of the kind: "On Thursday, June 1, at 3 o'clock in the afternoon, will begia to be sold at public auction a collection of valua- ble books belonging to the library of his excellency John Montgomerie, Esq. late governor of New York, etc, de ceased. A catalogne of the books may be seen at the Coffee House In New York, with the conditions of sale."
