MRS. PEARY’S STORY.
GREENLAND Norso BAD, ALTHOUGH .
lT Is COLD IN WINTER.”
Poppies, Rhododendrons and Blue Bells
About the 131005. Deerskin Stockings,
Fur Inside, for Winter. Housekeeping
and the Baby.
Mrs. Peary, who was interviewed by
the New York Times concerning 'her win-
ter in Greenland, her housekeeping, her
costumes, and her baby, said: It is not
always winter in Greenland. \Ve have a
summer there of nearly {four months,
during which the temperature is some-
times as high as 60° and the vegetation is
very luxuriant. The grass groWS often
a foot high over the old “igloos,” or
huts, and is plentifully sprinkled with
bright yellow poppies, pol'entillas, blue.
bells and rhododendrons, but there are
no trees worthy the name. During the
mild season the skies and waters .are
beautifully blue, and the air is wonder
fully soft and clear. There were a num-
ber of days last summer when I went out
in a tweed gown and no wrap,.a-nd even
the slight exertion of gathering flowers
made me uncomfortably warm.
I dressed there outwardly exactly as I
do here. Of course, I had to wear very
heavy underclothing, and in winter deer-
skin stockings, with the fur turned in,
reaching above the knee, and sealskin
boots. The latter were rather clumsy, but
very warm and comfortable. When I went
sledging I wore a long fur coat, which
enveloped me from head to foot.
Yes, last winter was unusually severe.
The storms were numerous and terrific,
but it is a consolation to know that there
is not likely .to be a recurrence of such
weather for a. year or two. We suffered a
little with the cold after the: tidal wave,
which washed away most of our oil bar-
rels and crushed others, compelling us to
put up with short rations of fuel. For.
tunately, aside from the personal discom-
fort, no injurious effect to any of‘the
party followed. -
The only sickness we experienced was
the peculiar disease that broke out among
the dogs, which prevented my husband
from prosecuting his work as rapidly as
he wished. .
No, indeed, we didn’t live in ice huts, as
the natives do,~but in a good-sized double
house, which my husband designed and
took with us all ready to set up. It had
double doors and‘windows and was lined
throughout with"felt, but otherwise was
like an ordinary frame cottage, and I.
took much pride in it. The interior did
not differ materially from those ofthe
houses you see every day. I had a Brus-
sels carpet on my parlor floor, several
comfortable rocking chairs, portieres, a
few pictures, and the like. _
\Vell, yes, housekeeping in Greenland
di—flt‘ers necessarily from housekeeping
here. For one thing, every drop of water
we used had to be melted from ice, and
cans of tomatoes, corn, meat, and the
rest had to be brought from the store
house the day before, and put on a. high
shelf‘ to thaw ready for use. But that was
really not as much trouble as to wash and
pare vegetables before cooking, as we are
obliged to do here. \Ve were spared, too,
the constant worry of trying to think up
something new every day. Circumstances
did not permit much variety in our diet.
The hunters kept us supplied with deer
meat, which is very palatable, and we had
plenty of canned vegetables, but oh, how
I did long for a taste of home cooking
once in a while! Throughout the whole
journey back; I. could hardly eat a mouth-
ful of ship fare, in anticipation of all the
good things awaiting me.
Our house there was heated throughout '
with oil. The first time I was in Green-
land we uscd coal, except in my room,
where it was found that the oil provided
such an even temperature that Lieut.
Peary decided to heat the entire house
with it.
The very worst feature, in my estima-
tion, of living so far from civilization is
the inability to obtain news from the
outside world. I had never ,been separ-
ated from my mother until I went to
Greenland, and the' absence of letters
from her and my sister made it doubly
hard.
And now about the baby. She was born
Sept. 12, 1893, at Bowdoin Bay, Inglefleld
Gulf. That is on the west coast of Green-
land, 77 degrees 40 minutes north latitude;
The'day was delightful. We had no fire
in the house, and the windows were wide
open to let in the sunshine and the deli-
cious perfume of the flowers. At that time
of the year it was light up there from 5
A. M. to 9 P. M. The days rapidly grew
shorter, however, until we were plunged
into the long arctic night, and that was
the time I dreaded on the baby’s account.
Just think of 112 consecutive days during
which the sun never shines fora moment,
while the temperature is from 20 to 40
degrees bélow zero. To be sure, there was
a full, bright moon most of the‘time, but
nothing can replace daylight, and the
gloom seemed interminable. Baby never
appeared to mind it, however, and took
her outing as often as the weather per-
mitted. Her father bought two dogs,a
little Esquimaux sledge, and a fur suit,
especially for her, and when the tempera‘
ture was only 20 degrees below I put on
her little otter boots, or “kammiks,”
wrapped her in a deer skin, and sent her
for a ride of three or four hours down the
bay on the ice. The coldest weather she
ever went out in was 29 degrees below
zero, but she only staid an hour, as I was
afraid she would get chilled.
She was never sick there a. moment, not
even with colic, which Dr. Vincent
thought very 'remarkable. He fully ex-
pected her to » die before the" winter was
over, as he. considered it a physical im-..5 '
possibility for a. white child to live and
grow without light. But a baby never
had better care than mine had, for I at-
tended to her myself, and gave her much
more time than I should haVe been able
‘LD here.

WHO ‘IS ’ THE OWNER?
Do These MOuntains of ‘Coai' neiong to
the Miner» or the hIine Owner?
An interesting question has been raised
in the anthracite coal regions of Pennsyl-
vania, which, if it is. carried to .proposed
settlement in the courts, .will involve the
decision of (some entirely new and im-
portant points in the, rights of coal mine
ers andecoal mine owners. .
.. Until within recent years the percent
age of waste in the mining of merchanta-
ble coal was supposed to be about 50 per
cent. = This waste resulted in thepiling
up of the mountains of colliery refuse, so
familiar in the anthracite regions, known
"as culm. ‘But _- the discovery was made
some years ago that these culm piles con-
tained a'. large percentage of coal of small
sizes which could . be recovered from the
waste and placed on the market at a
price equal to that obtained for the then
merchantable sizes. This coal is of three
grades, buckwheat, bird’s-eye, and pea.
coal. Many hundreds of thousands of
tons of these grades of. coal .have been
recovered in the, different anthracite dis-
tricts, and the demands .for them is now
greater than the supply.
There are many scores of these mount-
ains of culm which have not yet been
worked over,.and the Pennsylvania Coal
Company ihas .a, large holding of these
valuable piles of waste from which it is
now preparing to remove the marketable
coal. During all the years that the coal
companies have ,been separating the'se
grades of coal from the culm no one ever
thought of raising [any question as to
Company in the \Vyoming Valley has led
an astute lawyerto‘raise the question of
mine'ownership in the waste.
The miner mines coal for the mine own-
er and is paid for it by the load, so much
per ton. \Vhen a. car of coal comes from
the minefand is weighed and inspected, if
it contains culm to the amount of ten
pounds or more, the miner is “docked”
100 pounds on that carload, or, in other
words he does not receives pay for the 100
pounds of coal he has mined. Although
buckwheat, bird’s-eye and pea coal are no
longer’classed as waste, they are covered
by the the term culm,,and the miner pays
forfeit for having those sizes in his car,
although‘they are ainbng the most val-
uable products of the'inine.
The. point raised isr'that theold culm
' piles having“ been la‘f‘gely made up by
this docking of the niihers’ Cars, virtually
represent investments made by the min-
ers through the wages deducted from
him for producing such coal as the culm
piles contain, and that, ‘consequently the
waste belongs to them, morally and 1e-
gally, just as much as if- they had paid
for them in actual cash.
Another well-known coal region law-
yer, while not taking the radical view
that the miners own, the culm piles, uno
hesitatingly contends that the miners,
having been forced to pay for mining val-
uable coal for the coal companies, instead
of receiving pay for the work, the com-
panies cannot now take advantage of
such work without reimbursing the min-
.ers for the wages thus unjustly taken
from them. There Will be a good many
hundreds of thousandsof dollars involved
in the settlement of these new and novel
legal points should they come to the test
of judicial opinion. ‘
_. “CHINESE DISHES.
l’eculiarities of Oriental Cooking Not Be-
~ lisliedp by Europeans. ~
Some of the dishes were extremely nice,
notably the little shreds of toast mutton,
excellently seasoned, such as I learned
ever after to call for with confidence at
Chinese inns. >
On\ the other hand, the chicken was
made uneatable, and the eggs on that
occasion, I am bound to say were inex-
pressibly nasty, writes Barry Lansdell of
the Chinese in Central Asia. The taste for
them as eaten in China. had need to be.
acquired, no doubt, for I had been told at
Ticrny of the wonderful -pains and ex-
pense at which Chinese gourmands pre-
serve their eggs till they are black and
putrid, and’of which they are as proud
when many, many years old as an Eng-
lish squire of his crusted port. I have,
moreover, a vague impression, which for
the moment I cannot verify, that I some-
where tasted these ancient delicacies and
found them good, but on the present oc-
casion my notebook condemns them ut-
terly. .
The rissoles of pork sausage were tasty,
and so were the French beans. peas and
' hearts of cabbage stalk cut in slices, and
the Mandarin Oran gestreserved in syrup.
We helped ourselves to these delicacies
as we pleased, butour host every now
and then with his chopsticks placed on
the plate of one or the Other‘of his three
guests a choice morsel, which, mercifully
it was not a matter‘of unbending eti-
quette that one should eat. It was po-
lite, of course, occasionally to return the
compliment and help him to titbits with
one’s knife and folk. .
Beauty and Advertising.
A pretty coquette walking by the sea-
shore is like injudicious advertising-—
very dear. But she'al‘so' bears a strong
resemblance to judicious advertising, be-
cause she catches every eye. .
This pretty coquette wears silken hos-
iery, which, like the resultsof injudicious
advertising, are invisible to the eye of
man. But they are filled with charms
that cannot be 'equalled, and. so are the
results of judicious advertising.
The beautiful bathing costume worn
by the pretty coquette is similar to an in-
judicious advertiser’s bank account—very
short at. both ends. .-But its likeness to
the bank. account of». judicious advertiser
is also apparent, forit is simply out' of
a
’sight. ~ -
injudicious advertiser—hard to win. But
I.
.I. proper study of her charming vagaries,
together with undying constancy, will
surely win her; just as the same methods
l pursued by a judicious advertiser will Win
business.-.—Printfl".§ £11.15. - I. .. ,,
