ALASKAN MYTHoLuGY.-The natives of
certain secluded Aeutian isles retain a ira
dit on concerning the origin of the latter.
which, if already published. is worthy of
repetition together with the embellishment
naturally accrung after the lapse OF. year or
two. 1t is asserted that, in the primeval days.
when the waters of the North Pacific sur
Founded not single isle among the vast
ranges of the interior continent, a mighty
giant lived Dwelling in harmony with gi-
ant 5liCe, each morning he ascended the
mountains from which the SUBMITS we're
plucked for their daily food. Lakeets formed
their evening drink. At peace with all the
outside world, they reigned whilst ages went
thrir course. But finally a change occurred
and discord entered the. mountain home.
! Whilst absent on distant summit, the g,aut
felt The mountain quake beneath his feet and,
casting upon his wife the fault cf all the
earthquake uproai. fastened down With
frown OF vengeance in all his mien. The gi-
antess, perceiving this and fearing for herself,
ran leapmg into b 3hEng sea, and towarI the
distant Asiatic shore. He, collecting noun
tans. followed the frightened spouse, burling
them after ner with all his stren til. For
time, not one of these did harui, and midway
in the sea the ''stock-oD-hand' grew small;
SO throwing one out now and then, he hast
ened on. Approaching the KaItchakan
shores and summcning all his rem,iung
strength, he sent the. last one whiring
through the air andsbeneaih it sank the luck

and rage, the giant, also, no longer held HIM
self against the waves, but sank into the sea,
above which, till this day, appear the summit
o. all those SuDken Alaskan mountains known
as the Aleutan isles. From the gradually de-
creasing nul. berS Ofthe latter on approach to
the Asiatic coast, can we doubt the truth OF !.
legendary tale that accounts SO plausi ly for

To BREAK PAIR OF STEERs.-The first
step in my practice was to get the steers in a
small yard. then into the stall, put a rope
around the horns. tie them in The stall. and
teach them to stand quietly when tied. Al,
harshness was avoided. The next thing was
to establish confidence between myself and
the steers; which was done by pat:ing. curry
ing, AID feeding nubhins of corn. Wild steers
would soon le'ri that they re not going to
be hurt They were then trained to be led
sngly; after which two were tied together by
therhCrns, aud were led around the ward,
and along the highway. until they were as
tractable as a gentle horse. Then yoke was
put on their necks. and two were allowed TO
run loose for afew hours every day in the
yard while wearing the yoke. A weep was
then made by setting post in the ground,
allowing it to extend two or three feel above
the surface; and the butt end of the pole,
ttwei ty or more ct long, was placed in
horizontal position on The post, with a. iron
bolt or crowbar running through the pCle to
the top of the post. The steers were bitched
to the small end Of the pole with a band Sled
attached; and they were irainel to draw the
0river on the sled. After a few lessons on
the sweep, they were prepared to draw light
sleigh to the woods aud bring bone & small
load of woods. E. Todd at N. Y. Farm
