Lake Kennedy and the Esquimaux

The following account of Lake
Kennedy. large body of fresh water to
the West of the Winter quarters of the
Florence, is given by Capt. Tyson: The
approximate location of the Lake is in
latitude GO north and longitude 70 Q
west, but has not been accurately deter
mined, as it is not known to have been
visited by white men previous to the year
1876. The natives often speak of this
great lake, of its fish and game, includ-
ing seal, and of its great size. The land
about it is vast plain or prairie, stone
less and treeless, but covered in summer
with tall grass, upon which the reindeer
feed in immense numbers. The natives
visit the lake every Spring to hunt rein
deer. of which they kill great numbers.
They all agree IN their statements of the
size of the lake and Of the abundance of
game and fish. In the Spring it is theresort
of thousands Of birds which breed there.
Among these birds are several species of
geese, the young of which the squaws
destroy in vast numb ers, and pile in heaps
for dog food. The soil about the lake is
dark and abounds in fossils. Considered
from scientific point of view, this Sec
ton is interesting, and it is possible that
in a peculiarly one it could be made
profitable. 1t is not probable that 80 in
viting an Arctic paradise will long re-
main unexplored. Mr.. Kumien OCCASION
ally joined the Esquimaux in their visits
to this lake and in their seal huts, but
none of the other memb ers of the expedi
ton felt active enough to do 80. The natives
are nearly always travelling, either in the
mountains deer-hunting, or over the snow
clad ice foes in search of seals or bears;
and, being light, strong and muscular,
they have greater power of endurance
than the heavier and less active white
men. The natives can also sleep upon
the ice when tired, and when hungry can
easily satisfy their appetite upon such
provisions as the country affords. White
men, as was proved in the case CT Capt.
Hall, can accustom themselves to the
same mode of life; and it is for the
purpose of efecting this that the coloni-
cation plan of exploration is proposed.
The case of Nep-e-ken, Tysons boy, is an
Instance of the inherent skill and cour-
age of the natives. Although not more
than five years of age, he captured six
young seals while the Florence Law at
Annanitook; and it was reported that he
had been equally successful the preceding
year. In addition to his skill as hun
ter, be was possessed Of other accom- plish-

civilization, such as chewing and smok.

Tools for Young People.

Buy tools for your boys, and if you have
no boys, buy tools for your girls. 1t Will
not harm any girl to learn to drive nail
or saw board, and do it well ; and if she
knows how, she will, without any doubt,
many times find it convenient. no matter
what may be her fortune in life. For ev-
cry one it will be great advantage to
cultivate mechanical skill no one has too
much of it. Nothing will be handler or
be acceptable on more occasions, than to
know how to use few common tools. To
begin with, the outfit need not cost over
ten dollars-but we say twenty-five For
this he may buy square, a jack-plane, q
smoothing plane, hand-axe, II hammer, a
draw shave, some dividcrs, bitstock and
half q dozen bits, hali-dozcn chisels, q
bench screw, small bench he can make
few files, milestone, hand. saw, rip
saw, a screw-driver. Then with the rest of
the twenty-five dollars he can buy little
wire, an assortment of screws, few of a
kind, an assortment of nails, and small
quantity OF pieces OF board of various di-
mansions. The tools should be of good
quality. In little time some of these will
be lost or broken, but what of it So is
money lost and thrown away. 1t is Il pro-
fitable training for every one to learn how
to use money properly. To learn, they
need to begin early under good instruction.
Twenty-Five dollars in money may be spent
in thousand ways for things which will
do less good than tools. Although this
may seem to some large amount to pay
for tools, twenty five dollars would be con.
sidercd small item as an inheritance for
young man. Then buy the children some
tools and they will learn to make many
play things for themselves, and will be less
likely to get into bad company. They will
be happier, wiser, better they will have a
stronger attachment for home and great
er love for parents, and those are priceless
fortune to any young man or woman, q
fortune which cannot be lost by any failure
of banks or depreciation in real estate

Mr.. Gillette owns 5000 acres of land, and
has often raised corn enough to feed
thousand cattle. He marketed in 1878. at
Chicago, Buffalo, Albany and New-York
500 head of three-y ear-olds, averaging / ,531
pounds. He sent in 1872 SO head of three
ycar-olds to Albany, averaging there 1901
pounds per head, and the next year 80
head that averaged 1,7S0 pounds He had
rs head of three year-olds in Buffalo, Dec,
1878, that weighed an average of over
1000 pounds their home weight was $3.50
pounds)
His system is wholly outdoor feeding,
and thus shows what may be accomplished
in spite of temperature. If all Mr.. Gil
lette's grade steers have been thus raised
and fed for market, it illustrates in the
most remarkable manner what the best
food and care will do under the most un-
favorable conditions. 1t also proves most
conclusively that Short Horn blood is not
too tender for successful feeding anywhere
in this country. The winter exposure on
MIR. Gillettes farm is often as severe as any
where in the settled portions of the United
States. The cold is not usually 80 lasting,
but the prairie gives such unrestricted
sweep to the wind as to severely tes' the
endurance of animals exposed to it. And
the thousands of fine three-yea old grades,
of l 400 to 1900 pounds weight, sent to
market by Mr.. Gillette, offers proof on such
a grand scale, not only of the safety OF his
system, but of its profit, that the lesson is
of the greatest value, and as such should
be studied by all cattle feeders.

hand he held by the legs live chicken, in

goat. Just as they were coming to deep
dark ravine, the woman said to the man
~ am afraid to go through that ravine

might oyerpower me and kiss me by
force"
"Ifyou are afraid ofthat,n said the man,

should stick your cane into the ground
and tie your goat to it, and turn the kettle
bottom side up and put the chicken into
it, then you might wickedly kiss me il
spite of my resistance"
"Success to thy ingenuity, o woman +

STAY ON THE FARM.-There at least,
you have plenty to eat and wear. You can
find something to do there which will pay
you better than anything here, where for
every place vacant there are a hundred
young men and women. In such circum-
stances it is a manifestation of folly for
people to crowd into the city, there to
scramble for the little employment that is
going. Every charity has more recipients
than it can provide for, and more suffer
ing than its funds can alleviate. You can
not live by picking pockets, for there is
nothing in them, and burglary is dull. II
you are young man, stay where you are.
If you are young woman, one peep into
the many employment offices in this city,
where day after day young girls sit almost
vainly waiting for chance for honest Ia
Dor that will save them and their honor,
will cure you of any desire to come to the

The Rosary of My Years.

BY FATHER RYAN.
Some reckon their age by years,
Some measure their life by art
But some tell their days by the flow of thei
tears,
And their life by the means of their heart.
The dials of earth may show
The length, not the depth, of years,
Few or many they come-few or many they 60
But our time is best measured by tears.
Ali not by the silver grey
That creeps through the sunny hair,
And not by the scenes that we pass on our way
And not by the burrows the fingers of care
On the forehead and face have made;
Not so do we count our years;
Not by the sun of the earth-but the shade
OF our souls-and the fall of our tears.
For the young are ofttimes old,
Though their brow be bright and fair.
While their blood beats warn, their heart lies
cold
Der them the Spring time-Dut Winter is there.
And the old are ofttimes young.
When their hair is thin and white
And they sing in age as in youth they sung,
And they laugh, for their cross was light.
But bead by bead tell
The rosary of my years;
From n cross to n cross they lead-'tis well
And they're blessed with blessing of tears.
BETTER day of strife
Than century of sleep;
Give me instead of long stream of life,
The tempest and tears of the deep.
A thousand joys may foam
On the pillows of the years;
But never the foam brings the brave bark home
II reaches the haven through tears

all requisite to success. There is no stor-

of stock that they may be ready to grow
the next summer-no place for standing
still, but one constant progress from the
first to the last day of their lives on his

CCLovER.-W Whoever grows clover freely,
and either feeds it on the farm, or plows it
under, can add almost indefinitely to the
available fertility of his soil. Glover roots
strike deeply, and take from the subsoil,
especially if clay, the mineral fertilizers
which have been carried there. do not
know how long or how far this process
may be continued. On heavy soils there
is much fertility locked up in the clods
near the surface, exposed to the action of
frost and air. Deeper down, the soil, in
mineral fertility, is often as rich; but it
needs air and decomposing vegetable mat
ter to make it available. Decaying clover
roots unlock these storehouses of plant
food. Every successive clover crop strikes
its roots deeper down, and makes more plant
food available. The gain is far greater
than analyses of the clover plant would in
dictate. In fact we are increasing the min
eral fertility of soil by using clover, just as
truly as if we directly added it.-Country

WINTERTNG SHEEP.-A. G. Stevens, of

wintering, in n communication to the FL
mira Farmers Club reported in the Lus-
bandanan. He commences to feed grain as
soon as the first frost appears in the fall
and keeps it up till good grass in the
spring, with all the good hay they can eat.
He allows one busbel of grain to fifteen
sheep, per week. The oats and corn are
mixed, one-tbird corn and two-thirds oats;
feeds twice a day. Another correspond
ent, at Hoag's Corner, N. Y, says that as
long as he had his lambs dropped about
the 1st of April he lost many. Several
years ago he commenced to have them
dropped about Feb list, since when he has
had no losses to speak of, and the lambs
are stronger and better every way. He
feeds fine, early cut clover hay, three times
a day, all they will eat. After lambing,
he feeds those who had twins, and failing
ewes oats or shorts four times day, with
