mm A'Wc An IrrterMtlngBookon..Arctic -Travel Hat Been Issued. Capt, Otto Sverdrup, the skillful Arctic eaplorer, has, written-a book on, hl8 Greenland experiences. In justice to the explorer it must toe paid that while these two handsome volumes do not possess the dramatic interest of Nansen's "Farthest North," they add thtmorato bur knowledge ot the lands' within the Arctic circle, With his ad mirably 'perfected equipment, absolute freedom of action, and his harmonious an deficient Msistants, Sverdrup Was enabled to explore a vAst area previ ously unknown, an area which he esti mates at 100,0&0 square miles. It is important, too, to note that but for Ice conditions, which checked the ad vance of the Fram to the north of Greenland,' the expedition was fortu nately prevented fr,om traversng much of the same region as was being cov ered by Peary. A useless waste of en prgy was thus prevented, though at the fame time the Norwegian leader re (rarded the interruption of his plans polely as a misfortune. He was ena bled, however, to lift the veil from the mysterious region westward from Smith's sound, named variously Biles mere, Grlnnell and Grant lands, and ,to achieve results more extensive than ever before' accomplished by a single ship. These have-been, admirably map ped by Capt. Isachsen, the cartography of the expedition. The Fram wintered the first year, 1898-9, in Rice strait, near the entrance to what appears on the old maps as Hayes sound, but which was found to be no more than a. fiord. The winter of 1899-1900 was spent in Havne fiord, on the north side' of Jones sound and the two following winters in Grasse fiord, eighty miles to the westward, the chief explorations being made, of course, by sledge parties. That so much was accomplished was largely due to the abundance of animal life in the new lands and the consequent ability to keep the dog teams as well as' the men in good condition in spite of their arduous labors and severe hardships. The musk-ox, which Sver drup insists upon renaming polar oxen, because he failed to detect the odor of musk in their flesh or milk, was found in great herds, and the Arctic hares, bears, wolves and other game were plentiful. The volumes are copiously illustrated. REFORMERS CAN'T UNITE. Attempt to Fuse Parties in Norway Is Difficult. At a district meeting of the Working man's society, held at Skien, Norway, last month, there was a spirited debate aver the question of uniting with some political party. There were so many different sentiments, however, that the only points on which the delegates could agree was to submit the/ ques tions of union or of forming, a. new po litical party to the local unions. Sev eral of the radical members of the storthing participated in the meeting. Opposition to union with the labor party was expressed because it had been charged that the party was sim-. ply a branch of/ tye socialists, whose doctrines the delegates were not pre pared wholly to accept. A motion to unite was voted down, as was a motion to negotiate with the labor party re garding terms-for fusion. Finally a motion to form a new organization un der the name of the people's party was lefeated. HONORED BY OSCAR Hi Geraldlne Far'Var of Boston Receives Famous Art Medal.

Sweden is not. likely to obtain any election returns from the present riks dag. While no vote had been taken up to the time .the latest exchanges from Scandinavia were received, the trend of the speeches in both houses indicated that there was. very little chance for the passage of any of the propositions before the riksdag, eypn •though some are very unsatisfactory wad grant but little relief from the present conditions. Some very sharp attacks were made onthe government's program to ex* tend the right of suffrage, so as nom inally to make it universal. In the first chamber some of the speakers used bitter language. Hr. Lithander declared that he was opposed to either bill, because they did not offer suffi cient protection against tyranny by the masses. He was surprised that the government would propose a meas ure which would surely ruin the coun try. Hr. Benedicks Baid that the pro Posed election law Would'create a new class in the second chamber which would not work in harmony with the first. Hr. Oberg declared that the masses were too easily led and could not be trusted with any responsibility in political matters. Others declared that extensions ol the right ,of suffrage simply meant the turning over of the country and its in dustries to adventurers. In the second chamber the measure known as the proportional method was advocated by. several speakers, in cluding Hr. Ernest Carlsoii, Hr. Staaf and Hr. von Scheele. Hr. Brantihsr did hot believe that the law went far enough in the direction of democracy, and similar views were expressed. by Hr. Olson of Viken. Some of the speak ers were afraid, however, to trust the people with the responsibility of elect ing members of the riksdag. In Memory of Evangelist.

Baron Nordenskjold the Antarctic explorer, in a lecture before the geo graphical society at Stuttgart, Ger many, maintained that the South pole, like the North pole, was at one time covered with tropical vegetation. This, he said, was conclusively shown by many fossils which he collected on his expedltlos of 1901-03. Only 2,400 Years Old.

A city clergyihan tells this story of a marriage in his church which happenedi through a misuaderstand ing. According to him there, was bachelor whose affections seemed to be centered in his Sister's young sonV and daughters Th^re was ^n inter esting young Woman of another citj whb rarely, came to New York, &A he was such a very busy man that he seldom got out of town to see her. As a result, the sister's children were enough to make him dally in his rourtship. It happened that the brother-in-law in the case, who sometimes envied the bachelor—because he could stay out late—heard dreadful noises in the house early one morning. It could' not be a burglar, because they do not fall down stairs and disturb the house with hiccoughs. Distressed at his brother-inrlaw's condition, but hopeful that he would break his neck, the master of the house went' to sleep again. In the morning he entered the room of his brother-in-law in order to berate him. The astonishment of the bach elor was great, and his anger was greater. He had come* home early and sober, it seemed to him that he -could not live in the house any long er under the circumstances, and he left, too mad to talk to his relatives. After breakfast at a restaurant he went to the hotel where the young woman from out-of-town happened to be. He was so impetuous in his woo ing that they were married that day. Among those who were at the cere mony were the sister and brother-in law. The latter was very humble, and explained that on going down to his breakfast he had been confronted by the butler, who had been many years in the family, but who was dropping the plates, singing in a maudlin way and acting in any way but that of a model butler. When the brother-in law asked the butler for an explana tion of his condition, he confessed that on his evening off he had seen friends so many and BO A commission will 'soon request the city council to give this ceremony an official character. Delegations of com positors are now inviting all members of the fraternity to contribute for the expense to be incurred.

Poultney Bigelow, who has accept ed the chair of foreign relations at Boston university, had completed an address before the Twentieth Cen tury club of Chicago. A young man congratulated Mr. Bigelow rather awkwardly on this address, and the learned traveler replied: "This is a doubtful compliment. It reminds me of a remark that a friend of the groom's made at a New Hamp shire wedding. "This friend, an .observant chap, watched the groom closely during the ceremony, and at the en* bore down on the happy man, shook him warmly by the hand, and said: 'Bill, ye done good.

They continually grew in strengtah, and with the ex ception of slight colds from exposure they were in excellent health through out.

After speaking of vast piles of de caying carcasses of the herons, slain for their plumes and the thousands of young birds left to starve, all for the sake of securing the plumes for wom en's hats, Mr. Scott says: "1 wish clearly to emphasize the fact that I do not blame the women who use these decorations, for men are the responsible parties. No woman ever wore a decoration of any kind, much less the feather of a bird, for her own pleasure, or to attract the attention of other w6men. The object for which women wear decorations is to en hance their attractiveness and beauty to men, not to themselves, or to each other. And as long as men care to have women's hats decorated with feathers and express their approval by admiration bestowed, just so' long will the custom endure."
