How Is This for Pedigree ?

A very searching investigation was
carried on few years ago, in the north
of England, by two families who were
searching up their respective ancestry.
The strife was great between them,
each one determined to look back into
antiquities farther than the other.
One of the families, whose name was
Spencer, employed an artist to paint
historic scene representing the building
of the ark, and the loading up of the
ship by Noah and his sons with its null
tifarious and various cargo.
On the gang-plank leading to the deck
of the ark two men were seen rolling up
a large box, ON one side of which was
painted in large letters, "Relics, insignia
and papers belonging to the Spencer
family"
This was considered coup d'etat hard
to beat, but the other family, determin-
ed not to be outdone in the antediluvian
pretenses of their name, prepared at
great cost and research a record Of their
antiquity.
In describing the exploits of one of
their ancestors, at very early day, who
was represented as man Of some au-
thority, this remarkable passage occurs:
During this year Adam and Eve were
driven out of Paradise"

4 WOman Who IHriUes on Pins.

The Kingston Freeman says: There
is lady in the upper part of this city
who is fine subject for scientific in
vestigation. She is born pin swal-
lower. We don't mean that she swai-
lows belaying-pins, ,hair-pins or clothes
pins, but small pins so necessary for
women in making their toilets. And
the strangest part of it is that they
agree with her, so she is waxing healthy
and fat. ..el4t
The lady like all other women, formed
the habit of holding pins in her mouth,
and one day accidently swallowed six.
She was terribly alarmed and expected
to die, but day after day passed away
without any trouble being experienced
from this strange diet. A month later
nearly a dozen slipped through her lips
and also moved on gracefully down
her throat.
No trouble whatever came from these
either, and then it seems the woman
acquired an irresistible liking for pins.
She swallowed half dozen or so every
now and then, and as this diet has
been continued for very near a year,
she must be pretty well lined with
brass.
When this lady took her first meal
of brass she was slight, fragile being,
in very bad health. In few weeks
she began to improve, and, as we have
before stated, the more she swallows
the healthier she becomes.

The Arctic Circle,

Since Sir John Franklin's day fifty at
tempts have been made to unlock the
grand secret of the Arctic regions, and
in no case have the casualties been im-
portant. The London Times gives a list
Of thirty-tw Of these expeditions, and
when the record is examined it is seen
with surprise what n small number Of
officers and men succombed to the hard
ships incident to Polar service. The
Plover and Enterprise. which were three
winters in the Polar ice. had only three
deaths each. Sir Robert Mcclure, in his
famous voyage. lost one officer and five
men in four winters; while the Pioneer
and the Intrepid had not single death,
although out two winters. Taking the
whole thirty two expeditions enumera-
ted, the death-rate was only seven per
cent. of those employed. These facts
do not detract from the renown Of Arctic
explorers, for their work demands high
courage, resource and powers of endur-
ance. The value of the list is given to
show that it proves that Englishmen can
live and keep noble purpose steadily
in view amidst the most depressing cir
cumstances.
