While we accord to the adventurous
Arctic explorer our meed of admiration
for his Indomitable courage and pcrxlst
ii.cy, the question will obtrude, itself
whether the game Is worth the candle.
The curiot.lt)' of the general public as to
the Arctic regions 4ias been to a certain
extent gratified: the children ot the
land have had large additions to their
teck of Elories of adventure; the niu
Vums have been enriched, and the
Dryasdusts have been furnished with
tubjeets for contemplation and study
Hut that there has been through all the
years of Arctic exploration, from
Franklin to I'cary, any results achieved
which ere at all commensurate with the
expenditure of energy, of money, and
above u!l, ot purious lives, remains to
be proven. The one really v...iablc
fact that does heeru to have been es
tablished is that Arctic exploration if
net worth while.

RASPBERRY'S RUSE.
0 see my friends
mourn for me after
1 am dead would
be the most charm
ing emotion I could
experience,"
Mr. Haspb e r r y
used often to say
this to his valet.and
ni v v the valet always
J answered:
' ' 1 "La, sir, yon
couldn't do It, sir, you know;
because after folks is expired
why, they air removed from this here
wale of tears, sir, I think begging
pardon, sirthat it would bo an uu
happiness." "No. no, Perkins," said Mr. Raspber
ry; "no, no, you don't understand these
finer feelings."
To which the valet always replied:
"No, sir probably not, sir."
This was before Mr. Raspberry's wed
ding, and for n year after thia cere
mony Perkins had heard nothing of the
formerly often exprofued wish..
.Hut one winter morning, as Mr. Rasp
berry read the account of a dreadful
railroad accident, he said again, as
though ho had never left off;
"How dtllghtfui It would be to see
one's friends mourn for one!"
This time Perkins answered:
"Hut missus would take on. so."
"The very thing," said Mr. It. "Per
kins, can you keep a secret?"
, "Jnwaluate," oaid Perkins, who was
prone to the uae ot words but vaguely
understood'inwaluate."
"Then, Perkins," said Mr. Raspberry,
"I am going to meet with n railway ac
cident." "Gracious!" said Perkins.
"It's all arranged," said Mr. Rasp
berry. "Dear me. sir, I hope not, sir," said
Perkins.
"I'm to be put at the head of the list
of killed," silil Raspberry. "A reporter
1 know has promised to do it. On an
average there's an accident once
weekthe next one I'm to be in."
"Peg pardon, air, won't it be susla
clde?" asked Perkins.
"I don't mean to be killed," paid
Raspberry: "only reported i-o."
"La!" said Perkins, "but poor young
missus?"
"The very thing," said Raspberry; "I
n in much older than she is -twenty
years." lie was forty-five. "And I
should like to see bow she would mourn
for me after 1 am gone, if it should be
my fite lo go first. I shall bid her adieu
as though going upon a journey, and
then hide myself In these rooms of
mine. When the accident occurs and
she seen the paper, I'll take cae to be
nt band. My nephew, Julius, will
i $ fyfei
BKHOLD MK AND DRKAl) MY VEN
GEANCE, grieve, too. I've been Indulgent to
nlm, and she will break her little
heart."
"Yes, sir; but. sir, won't she be an
gry when she finds out it's a hoax?"
as-ked Perkins.
'he sdiall nevr find it out," said
Raspberry, "irver. I'M tell her it was
a fah-N? report. That 1 w a.s on tfie I rain,
but e-iiapei!."
"Yes sir." s.iid Perkins, doubtfully,
and brushed bis master's, hair in a
thought ful manner.

"and what do you mean y shutting tne
door?"
"Perkins," cried Mr. Raspberry's
nephew, J11II113, "if you have anything
to tell, out with it; don't stand there
alarming us. My dear uncle is not ill?"
"He will be if he eats much more
shad," said Perkins. "But he's well at
present, but he's too mot-antic. He's at
temptin' to barter up your feelings. In
pint of fact. In order to see you mourn
for him, he's hiding upstairs, while he's
reported squashed hi this ere railroad
accident. It's a dreadful one. He paid a
reporter to put him in, mum, the first
that happened."
"Don't show me (be dreadful thing,"
said Mrs. Raspberry. "Oh, how could
Royal be so very heartless how could
he? No matter, I'll punish him, and
I'll not betray you either. Tell Mr.
Raspberry I have the news, and let him
spy upon me when he pleases."
0 "Yes, ma'am," said Perkins.
"She's got it., sir," said Perkins, ten
minutes after. "It was carried in."
"Ah, ha!" said Raspberry. "Now I
shall see what grief my demise will
cause. Julius Is there?"
"Yes, sir," said Perkins.
And Raspberry, in slippered feet, re
paired to a peep-hole prepared before
hand In a doorpanel. All was silence.
"She is lying in a swoon upon the
floor," thought Raspberry, with; a
qualm of conscience.
Hut in a moment he saw the lady
smiling end beating time to an air she
hummed with the folded newspaper.
"She has not read 'it yet." thought
Raspberry. "How delightful! I shall see
the whole."
He applied his eye more closely to the
aperture; Just then the lady spoke.
"If all wo read is truer we arc rid of
him."
"Yes, the old stupid!" said Mr. Julius.
"I suppose he's left you everything?"
"I hope so," said the lady. "I shall go
Into deep mourning and a cap- the
style becornos me and I shall be a
dashing young widow as soon as I dare.
1 bate being mewed up here. I shall
travel to the watering places and enjoy
myself."
"Good heaven!" moaned Mr. Rasp
berry. "What do I hear?"
"A'ld I will accompany you," said
Julius.
"Certainly," said the lady. "And you
need not call me aunt any more."
"Never again," said Julius; "but by
a dearer nt.rne soon."
"Oh, go away! Don't. It's improper
so soon," said the lady.
"I shall die," said Mr. Raspberry.
"Oh, I shall die in earnest."
Hut rage and curiosity rooted him to
the spot.
Julius hsd sunk on his knees befor9
Mrs. Raspberry, and taken her hand.
"You will be mine?" he said.
"Oh, yes, Julius," said Mrs. R.; "but
for form's sake wo ought to attend to
Mr. R.'s remains."
"Pother!" said Julius. "Since they've
smashed the old fellow let them sweep
him away and finish It. What do we
want of him?"
Then horrible words broke the spell
cast upon Mr. Raspberry; he dashed the
door open, and darted forward.
"You'll find me more difficult to
sween away than you imagine," he
cried. "Perjured woman, false and
wicked Julius, behold me and dread
my vengeance!"
Then Mr. Raspberry shook both his
fists and lifted them heavenward, at
tvhlch Mrs. Raspberry liuighed more
heartily.
"You can laugh you." he cried.
"Yes I," said Mrs. Raspberry; "and
when next you get up a little farce, re
member that other people may be able
to do likewise. For one rehearsal Julius
and I have done very well. Now, sir, beg
my pardon for trying to alarm me. You
ought to be ashamed of yourself."
"Then yon -you knew!" gasped Mr.
Raspberry. "Oh, Adelaide, tell me you
knew!"
"I certainly knew." said Mrs, R.,
"and prepared a little .-'lo-priso for you.
If Instead you had Keen uie drop dead
upon the floor you would have been
happy, cruel man!"
"l'hanl. he.iveii!" said Mr. Raspber
ry, sinking into a chair. "You almost
killed me, Adela'de how could you?
And Julius ah. I suffered too much.
Sweep me away! As a joke it was bad
enoiiiih, but in earm-p; "
Then Mrs. Raspberry condescended
to offer her lips to Mr. Ka-plieny. and

NO MORE RICE-THROWING.
Confetti (Silver, Gold and Colftrrii Onevl
Substituted.
Most of us who have had anything to
do with weddings have had experiences
of the direful effects of the showers of
rice which mark the departure of the
brido and groom, says the London
Queen. There are few young couples
who have not entered upon their hon
eymoon with actual physical pain,
thanks to the stone grains which have
stung their eyes and ears aud have
found their way into their clothes and
down, their necks. Worse disasters
even than this have followed the use ot
rice as a sign of the good-will of their
friends, and serious accidents have not
infrequently occurred in consequencs of
the reckless showering of these grf Ins.
The horses have been scared, and this,
in some cases, has led to the overthrow
ing of the carriage and the severe in
jury ot its occupants. Attempts have
occasionally been made to mend this
state of affairs, but until lately noth
ing has taken tho place of rice. Rose
petals and small flowers have been
tried, but they have many disadvant
ages, notably that of becoming crushed
to pulp and leaving unsightly stains on
the carpets of the house. Shreds of col
ored paper have occasionally been used,
but in these there is something too sug
gestive of the schoolboy's "hare naO
hounds" to excite much interest. At a
recent fashionable double wedding a
the west end considerable admlratior
was caused among the guests by the dis
tribution of confetti as a substitute fo
the offending rice. They were such at
are used at Eastbourne and the Riviera
for the battle of flowers and on similar
occasions. For the benefit ot such read
ers as are unacquainted with coufeisj
I may describe them as tiny paer wa,
fers, principally gold and silver, wi'h ft
few colored ones Intermixed by way of
adding to the effect. The progress ot
each bride down the staircase to the
carriage on this particular occasion
was made In a shower of gold and sil
versurely' n3 good an omen for her
future prosperity as cou!d possibly be
afforded by the prosaic grains of rice.
The effect of the myriads of sparkling
confetti was absolutely charming and
fairylike as they fluttered to the ground
the sun catching them as they fell. Cer
tainly ihey clung about the dresses cf
the newly married couples, but , they
did no harm, and were soon shaken off.
In the house, as they fell on the floral
decorations and sparkled among the
roses and ferns, they produced a result
that is well worthy of note by those
whose business it is to provide novel
ties for functions of this sort. As for the
horses, they were sublimely uncon
scious ot the tiny gold and silver
pieces with which their backs had been
sprinkled by the time they started.
Mollior'n Let I or.
Here is a bundle of mail from town
A dozen miles away,
And that is a distance dear, you know,
We cannot go each day.
There are letters from many friends
That somehow don't forget,
For all that we're away "out West,"
That we are living yet
Ah, here is one from brother John
And one from sister May;
I scarce can wait to read them all-
I wonder what they say.
But as I look the missives o'er,
There's one I do not find;
It always used to come so proript-
Can it be left behind?
The writing on the envelope '
Old-fashioned and so small
Was always first to catch our eye.
And dearest of them all.
'Twas filled with tender, loving
thoughts.
That only mothfrs know,
For children who have left the nest,
Wherever they may go.
But ah, the hand that used to write
So faithfully to me,
Is folded now on loving breast.
In silent mystery.
And through the years that come an
po,
My heart may long In vain;
For letters from that mother loved,
Will never come again.
And yet, I know, in that fair land,
Where partings are no more,
Sheil wait and watch to welcome me,
I'pon tho heavenly shore.

WORKBASKET TRIFLES.
flhrea Tlnitors from the Country Are
Shocked.
The worfebasket of the up-to-date
woman of leisure is provided with
aiauy costly trifles, the use of which is
aot directly obvious to tho uninitiated,
says the New York Tribune. This fact
was recently impressed upon pie writer
at the counter of a jewelry establish
ment. A group of women, whose man
ner and appointments indicated that
they were stangers in the city, were
looking at gold thimbles, and, inci
dentally, at various other articles dis
played by the clerk.
"Look here, Mary Ellen," said the;
oldest of the threo, holding up to view
ft flat little square of gold with richly
chased edges. "What do you reckon
this is?"
"It don't look like anything In par
ticular to me," answered Mary Kllc-n
after close scrutiny.
"Well! It's a thread-winder, and it's
worth $9."
"Nine dollars for a thread-winder!"
exclaimed Mary Kllen, aghast at the
idea. "Well! I never!- I always wrap
my old scrape, of thread or silk round
an empty spool or a piece, of cardboard,
like the scooped-out piece of wood the
boys at home wind their fishing lines
on. That's right convenient, though,"
she added, examining the pretty bauble
interestedly.
"Here's something else," said the
third woman, balancing between her
lingers a pencil-like arrangement ex
(luibitely chased and having a rmooth,
oval bulb at either end. "I wonder
what this is for?" Aud she glanced
appeallngly at the clerk.
"That's a glove-darner." he ex
plained, much amused at her perplex
ity. "And how much does it cost?"
"Eleven dollars."
The trio exclaimed in horror at this
revelation of extravagance and Mrs.
Mary Kllen remarked sterniy that $11
would supply her with gloves for two
years.
All three examined the glove-darner
critically, and then, pursuing their in
vestigation, speculated in turn as to tho
merits of the solid-gold thimble-holders,
emery-holders, needle-cases and
other articles that seemed curious to
them. Finally, when a finger protector
was1 shown. Mrs. Mary Ellen's patience
became exhausted.
"These Idle women ought to be proud
to show a few needle pricks 011 their
forefinger," she exclaimed. "I'd like to
know how a little needle prick cati
hurt."
She did not conceal her amazement
that so insignificant, everyday affair an
a little round tape-meaKtiro could bo
contrived to cost $7. and a small ivory
rata?, equipped wtih tiny gold-handled
scissors, needle-case, thimble and bod
kin, the value of which was $100, nearly
took away her breath.
"It t-eenis outrageous to squander' so
many dollars on nonsense," hc de
clared, energetically, as the party left
the shop.
Ii Ofpwfd lo I '.I Dinner.
A sermon on the new woman, deliv
ered las Sunday by the Rev. Father
Wilson of St. Joseph's Roman Cath
olic .church, Tcrro Haute, Ind., has cre
ated, no end of discussion among the
members of his congregation. Father
Wilson does not approve of the bicyt lo
bloomer. He said it was not becoming
to a young woman, according to his
ideas of a woman, and in the course of
his remarks further said that the wom
en members of his congregation who
