it to bis lips, aid With his owfi teeth, ex-
tracted tooth from it.
Horror filled the stranger as he watched
this proceeding, and saw him throw tho
skull carelessly away while he wrapped
the tooth in paper and put in his pocket.
Can you tell me why he did that?u
asked our tourist Of an old man who stood
beside him during the funeral ceremony.
'Ay, surely, your honor; the poor boy
was very bad WI the toothache. an, it's
allowed to be a cure If you draw q tooth
frae skull wi your amt teeth. Hen
sew the tooth in his clothes an wear It as

size that he felt desire to possess the
animal as curiosity. To this end he cap
trred it, and improyised place of deposit
from one Of pair of extra boots he had
with him. In this he placed the tarantula,
and shut him in by a blanket thrust into
the bootleg. Returning home at night
the boots with other articles were thrown
down and the presence of the tarantula
was for the. time wholly forgotten. That
night being cool, his wife and mother of
the child took the Blanket to cover the
little one and went to bed, little dreaming

seems, had adhered to the blanket when
drawn from the boot, and was carried with

Arctic Fruit.


The successful expedition of professo,
NordenskJold has proved that the shores
VI the Arctic Sea are NOT so inhospitahlp
as has been generally supposed. Perhaps
the most Interesting of the minor discover
les made By the learned explorer is the
hndlng ola new remedy against that dread
OF all nayigators and the particular seourge
OF Arctic peditions-namely, scuryv.
1t appears that there was not single case
OF this disease during the whole VOYAGE.
and this remarkable fact ia due not to the
employment of lime-iuice and other anti
scorbutics In ordinary use, but to the use
or a curious little berry, hitherto unrecog
nized, produced by plant which finds an
ephemeral existence in the snow and ice
during Che short Arctic summer. The
berries, are found III great abundance. and
are said to be favorite fruit with some of
the natives Of the great ice world, It's
flavor resembles that of the raspberry, but
IS more acid. The mode of preparation
adopted on the voyage of the Vega was to
dry the berries. and then to preserve them
In the milk OF the reindeer, which was
then allowed to freeze. In this state the |
frult can be preserved for an Indefinite /
period.

Strength.

t The strength of women lies in their
heart. Itshows itself in their strong love
and instructive perception ut right and

| OF their virtues. As !; rule, they are i'll
csined to be restless and excitable, allowing
their judgments and actions TO be swsYeei
by quick emotions of all kinds, but aEsoyes

durance that they find their chief power.

W hat mother or sister with deep and ar

count?
The patience Of women is proverbial.
and their whole lives are bound ND in their
affections. Few people will deny that love
in one form Or another makes up the beauty
of life to woman. It enters into all she
does. Any work outside her immediate
circle is undertaken most often from
pure desire to help some one else. to know
something Of the mysterious happiness Of
love. Unlike men, women chiefly look
for personal intercourse with those for
whom they are working. If their interest
lies among the poor, they are desirous of
sympathetic personal acquaintance with
them; and very little good work of last
ing kind has been done by women withous
their own influence Of love being brought
to bear on the individual case.
Without dwelling on the greater phys
lcal weakness of women in general, it is q
fact that their brains are more easily de-
ranged, and unless they change greatly
they are apt to deteriorate in essential
qualities if thrown much Or pro-
