THE BARGAIN CORNER.
CACHES. The Reliance of Arctic Travelers For Food on a Return Journey.
An arctic expedition moving overland practically always intends toreturn by the same route. HKyen in these days of com- pressed foods the weight of several months’ provender fora lhirge party is considerable. In caches it is, therefore, stowed along the route several days’ journey apart.
What is simply a hole in the ground is first duy, a matter of extreme difficulty at times. Then, painfully digging else- where, earth is brought to the surface and a quantity*®f this is dumped into the hole. Ice is melted and the water from it poured upon the earth, the entire mixture freez- ing in a few moments into a compact mass. This is the bottom of the cache. On it the provisions the party want to put uside for a future day are laid, so many pounds for each man, carefully calculated. There should be just enough to support life comfortably until the next cache is reached on the return, with two or three days’ rations over for emergencies.
With stones, ice and snow the walls of the cache are now built up, water being poured over the snowy structure hermetic- ally toseal it. It is a point of honor, among even the poorest natives, not to rifle a cache unicss in cases of the direst necessity, but the provisions must be kept safe from the bears. Properly built the structure is impregnable, and it needs the work of pickaxes to tear it open.
It is marked by anything that the ex- plorers can spare or find in the vicinity, generally by a staff of wood. In Siberia the tooth of a mammoth is not infrequent- ly used. Despite this precaution, however, many caches can never be found again.
If rendered provisionless in this manner, the party must resort to its guns and hunt for the musk ox, the white bear and the seal, which sometimes are in easy reach, more frequently not to be found at all. Game in these regions is never to be de- pended wpon.— New York Tribune.

A Nihilist’s Definition of *ihilism.
I was so fortunate as to meet an Amer- jennized Russian who has been instru- mental in bringing more of his people to this country than any other person He had been a medical stadent in lvussia, be- came connected with a nihilist plot, was suspected, arrested and sentenced to Si- beria, but made his escapo and came to | this country five years ago. He at once took steps to become naturalized, and now, as Dr. C. C. Young, is an American citizen, intensely proud of his adopted country, enthusiastic concerning its instl- tutions, particularly its liberty of speech, and is able to converse in excellent Eng- lish wholly acquired since coming here.
“A nihilist,” said Dr. Young, “is not an anarchist or even a socialist. He is merely one who desires with all bis beart and above everything else in this world the liberty of speech and action that is the birthright of every living soul and which is guaranteed to every American by the constitution of the United States. Oh, you Americans should be the very happiest people on earth, for you have everything that the rest of the world is striving to gain!"’—Kirk Munroe io Harper's Maga- zine. :

I onvco heard tatked ovér-between two respectable ladies, says Colonel T. W. Hig- ginson in The «.tlantic, some disrespectful remarks of mine on the American pie. I | had said in a lecture that the average pie |} of the American railway station was } “something very white and indigestible at
the top, very rmoist and indigestible at the bottom and with untold horrors in the
middle.’ I had given this lecture at Fall River, Mass., and was returning by way of the steamboat to Providence, when I heard one of my neighbors ask the other if she heard the lecture
“‘No,”’ she answered, ‘“‘I didn’t. But Miss Jones, she come home that night, and she flung her hood right down on the table and says she, ‘There,’ says she, ‘Mr. Jones, I’m never goin to have another o’ them mince pies in the house just as long as I live,’ says she. ‘There was Sammy,’ ; says she, ‘he was sick all last night, and I do believe it was nothin in all the world but just them mince pies,’ says she.’’
‘*Well,”’ said the otber lady, a slow, de- liberate personage, “I do suppose that them kind of concomitants ain't good things.’’

Genius and Soap. There was a sign nailed to the door of
attention, and yet at a casual glance there did not appear to be anything remarkable about it. It simply said:
“WANTED.—A good business poset; | good salary to the right party. Apply within.’’
‘The sign is all right,’ explained the manager. ‘‘We want just what it says— ‘a good business poet’—none of your gen- iuses, but a fellow with gritand get up | in his composition.”
**And what do you want with him?” he was asked.
‘“‘A good deal,” replied the manager. “We're manufacturing a new brand of soap, and to compete with others we've got to have poetical advertisements that will catch the publicear. The last poet we employed was a dreamer and wrote odes to our soap which were too classic to be popular. What we really need are brisk, ' breezy, catchy couplets like this:

THE JOKE WENT ASTRAY.
And a Couple of Innocents Endured All the Suffering In Consequence,
We had amused ourselves at the expense
of acertain commercial traveler staying
at our hotel, and in return the traveler
endeavored to play a trick on us.
It happened that when we struck the hotel it was so full that we had to engage rooms on the second floor. There were four of us, so we engaged rooms Nos, 95 and 96, with the proviso that we should have choice of double bedded rooms on the first floor as soon as they were empty. On the day of revenge our goods and chattels were moved down to the first floor, rooms Nos. 35 and 86. And that night a strange thing bappened. We were sitting quietly at supper when we beard a violent ringing of about ten bells and a yelling and shout- ing from up stairs. Our party of four gazed at each other inquiringly, but no- body volunteered an explanation. The commercial traveler sat in the room, and he looked across at us with a startled air and turned pale. We went cut to recon- noiter.
There was a huge gouty old gentleman in pyjamas at the head of the stairs, and he was shouting for the manager. He had turned into a bed that was crammed full with lumps of coal and brushes and crockery and combs and broken biscuits. The number of his room was 96. While i he was telling his tale there was some commotion in 95. The door flew open, and a couple of men rushed out, using very Ciscreditable language. They had a similar story to tell and simila: complaints to make. It was disgraceful, intolerable. So it was for one of the best hotels in the provinces,
Of course the manager called me aside and blamed me for everything. I protest- ed my innocence, but I don’t think he be~ lieved me until the chambermaid put in a word or two.
“It wasn’t Mr. Roberts’ party, sir. It was Mr. Fred (the commercial traveler). I saw him coming in and out of the rooms, and I looked in afterward, bud couldn’t see anything wrong.”
Poor bagman! He had meditated a re-
yenge deep and dire, but it had missed fire. I will draw a veil over what the man- ager said to him and another over what the traveler said tous. Butit was great fun in the morning to sympathize with | the gouty old gentleman and to echo his sentiments.—‘‘ Life of Arthur Roberts."
