Come, forego your prejudices, Hal, and accompany me to Miss Freylings reception tonight, and I will present you to our little Queen of Love and Beauty. Halleck Dane shrugged his broad shoulders deprecatingly. "I have always said, he declared, with quiet obstinacy, "that my wife should not be selected in the glare and glitter of a ballroom. My regrets to Miss Freyling, and my thanks to yourself, but I have some letters to write this evening, and 1 must make a hermit of myself for the time be- ing." Col. Vandycke shook his head. "Go, then, Hermit of the Wilderness, said he, "but If you die a wretched bachelor, lay not the blame to me." Mr. Dane laughed, hut the smile died away from his lips, as he entered the twilight solitude of the village street. "I will not be introduced to Miss he said to himself. "A man's time and individuality are bis yet, I hope, but I have no surplus leisure to ." spare In Halleck Dane had- been physician in charge of the Lindley hospital for three months now. Lindley was a gay little town, with a military station close by, half a dozen churches, a town hall, an atheneum, and several manufactories, Dane avoided making the acquaintance of Miss Durande. the belle and beauty of the place. In fact, he had not even seen her as yet. "I came here to work, not to flirt," he said, brusquely. Miss Dorella Durande did not understand this in the least. She was a pretwho liked ty, sweet natured young-girlall the world, and expected all the world to like her. And at last she reluctantly made up her mind that Dr. Dane did not want to cultivate her acquaintance. "Let him go, said Dorella, pretending not to care a pin's point. "There are plenty of pleasant people in Lind-fe- y without him! And after that she was careful to time her visits to the hospital so that she would not meet the physician la oharge.

That's where 1 am going, said tho woman no farmer's wife, as Dr. Dane Now began dimly to comprehend. she touched up the pony at full speed. It must be Miss Martineau, the recNo tor's sister," thought Dr. Dane. one else would take the trouble to drive out such a night as this, merely to see a miserable old pauper woman. "And he said aloud, "I beg your g pardon. Miss Martineau, for not you before." Did she laugh? or did he only foncy It? Blit she answered, quietly, It Is rather an unfavorable atmosphere for recognitions of any sort. And they drove on faster than ever.

"I'm used to wind and weather. Then it can't be Miss Martineau, after all, cogitated the doctor. "Oh, I see now its Phebe Otway, the village nurse, whom ail the poor people send for. But I cant Imagine Daniel Otways wife with such a sweet, must cally modulated voice. It's a gift of heaven to save people, I suppose. Well, I respect Phebe for having the energy and resolution to face a storm like this for the very problematical payment which she has to expect from old Hannah Hopkins!

These show, says the Indianapolis news, what had already been suspected by scientists, that, so far as a minimum temperature is concerned, the highest northern latitudes are more favorably situated than many regions lying full fifteen or twenty de0 grees (approximately miles) farther to the south. The lowest reading of Nansen's thermometer, registered on bokrd the Fra in. was 61.fi degrees Fahrenheit, or some 12 to 15 degrees hlghsr than the mlulmum noted by tho British polar expedition of 1875-and 8 degrees above the minimum of Kane. The lowest winter temperature recorded by Mr. Peary was 53 degrees Fahrenheit. In strange contrast to this in Itself sufficiently severe temperature are the rigors of certain leas favored localities lying south. Thus, in the Kan an. which lies between Nova Zembla and filberts, and whose center is approximately erotwed by the seventy-third parallel of latitude, a temperature of Cl degrees Is hy no means uncommon, and the sea. partly from this cause and partly from the fact that It is largely rhoked with Ice, has justly received the name of the "ice cellar of .Eurasia. n At Yakutsk, in Siberia, a governmental post, lying considerably southward or outside of the arctic circle, a temperature of from 70 to 80 degrees below is reported almost annually; and at Verkhojansk, which is situated almost within the seme broad region, but somewhat on the polar side of the circle, there is a registry of 92 degrees for the month of January. 1894. Prof. Mohn, the distinguished Norwegian scientist, asserts, moreover, that at the Russian station at the mouth of the Lena river. Siberia, the extraor diaary low. temperature of 94 degrees Fahrenheit has been recorded.

"There nre plenty ot women in Oregon now, observed a prominent Oregon politician, who is in Washington to see that tbs state is not forgotten in the matter of patronage, but it is within the memory of many of us when women were scarce there. We gave it nut that we wanted them for school teachers and the like, and encouraged them to come out there, hut the truth was the men wanted them for wives. I remember once we sent a young man to Massachusetts, where he was well acquainted, with orders to collect one hundred young women and escort them back to Oregon. We guaranteed every one of them one year's employment. The active man In the matter was a fine looking young man. who afterwards served two terms in congress from our state. He spent two months in selecting the party and started west with them. On the trip out he courted one of the school teachers on his own hook, and actually got her consent to a marriage on the arrival of the train at Portland. The boys howled considerably about it, claiming that he bad treated them unfairly in having first hoicc. but there was a lot of fine, marriageable material left. Some of these women are today the leading ladles of the society of the state. More than s of the hundred were married inside of three years, and many in less thsn one year. A few of the lot, however, are teaching school here today, not that they did not have any offers, but because they would not accept any of the fellows who offered themselves Now that Senator Mitchell has about given up his contest to return as senator, he will likely be succeeded by gentleman who married one of the parly of school teachers to which I refer.
