kajak, quite similar to the Greenland
kaiak, is covered with seal-hide it only
carries one man, who propels it by
means of common kajak oar or pad
die. The 'large beat" which also re-
sembles the boat used in Greenland un-
der the name of the "women's boat, is
upwards of 80 feet long. 1t is rowed
by 5 to 10 men, with common oars or
pagaias. This boat is constructed of a
thin wooden frame, covered with seal
and walrus hides, it has fiat bottom,
from which its sides project at right an
giles. Its carrying capacity is very
great. | have seen such boats having
80 people on board.
The hammer of the Tchuktchis con-
sists of a stone tied to a stick their
spade, of walrus's shoulder-blade fas-
tened to stick; and in the same man
ner they contrive other necessary domes-
tic utensils and tools. They are per-
feet masters in the art of joining by
means of thongs of seal hide.
The principal food of the natives con-
sists of seal flesh and blubber, in addi-
tion to which they use feathered game,
bear and reindeer flesh, when such can
be obtained. The roots of certain
shore-plants, also willow leaves. ra-
nunculus, and saxifrage, etc., enter pret-
ty largely into their diet. The leaves
are collected in the latter end of sum-
mer, pressed, and consumed during the
winter and in these they are provided
with a powerful anti-scorbutic. Dur
ing the winter, when getting short of
other provisions, the bones of seals and
walruses caught during summer are
crushed, and prepared in the form of a
broth or soup, which is consumed by
both men and dogs. Of the latter there
are great number in every village,
which are chiefly employed in conveying
their owners by sledge from one place
to another. Although these dogs are
not large, three or four can with ease
carry man long distances. When the
Tchuktcbis undertakes long journeys Of
800 to 500 miles, he often has as many
as Is dogs harnessed to his sledge, with
which he is able to accomplish 20 to so
miles a day.

How dear to my heart re the scho days boyhood
When no care contritlon my wild spirit knew,
The orchards robbed our larks in the wildwood,
The school house and grove where the birch
switch es grew
The row of pies with toe-marks i'm printed,
How they rush to my sight at fond memorys call,
The old cider mill, with draughts never stinted,
And dthSswitch that hung high on the old school
house wall.
How the youngsters assembled in terror oft rembled
AS that hide-cutting switch came down from the
wall.
The knotty old switch in my mind is abiding
For oft, when returned, with some villa truant
band,
Ireceived, with that switch, most merciless hiding
The toughest and sorest boy nature could stand.
Unlike the old bucket no moss adhering,
No white pebbled bottom was touched when it fell,
Nopure sense ofcooness e'er marked its appearing.
But mark ed each descent with jump and Yell
Oh! viewed it with loathing for under-c lothng
Broke the force of those blows as so swiftly they
fell.
remember with trembling one grim little madam
Who taught me the Iudiments, pothooks and all,
And whe thought to expel all the sin left by Adam
By thrashng it out with that switch on the wall;
I've been horsed DER the knees Of that maiaen so
human,
With my back to the foe and my face to the floor.
And thought how fools prate of the soft touch of
woman,
For each touch drew blister, each strike woke a
roar,
In that day of tough switches very thin breeches
When correction pressed both behind and
before.

OF that muscular school.marm whose blows fell

And, though remember of no interceding
When she putin the licks with switch or a rule,
If grandchild spank there's grandmother plead

'Tis the granny who whaed me of old in the school
With her toughest of switches, her sharpest Of
switches
That startled a rogue like the kick Of mule.
How we boast OF advance in the secrets of learning
How to the young head, we take infinite pains,
And forget inward pangs yield to blisters and burning
That the switch hath oft quickened both conscience
and brains.
To four minor senses we're often appealing,
Each one to our aid, in correction, we call,
But that old bottom sense, the keen of feeling,
No longer the rogue doth persuade or appallI
Yet to quiet confusion. to force a conclusion,
Ifal other ways fail, try the switch from the wall.

WHAT WAS FOUND IN AN
OHIO CAVE.

An exploring party has made wonder
ful discoveries in a cave in Adams
county, Ohio, supposed to be the work
of the mound builders. In Tifina town
ship is a plateau of 1000 acres surround
ed by high hills. At depression in
the plateau there is well three feet in
diameter and twenty five feet deep.
Persons have frequently descended into
the we'll and explored the cavernous
chambers of mathematical regularity to
which it leads. On the walls of the
chambers may be seen among other
writings the inscription of Won Broody.

preceded the Ohio company in 1856.
In the fourth cham Der reached through

found we'll ten feet in diameter, aud

secret of this well that two merchants,

implements for breaking stone and Ian
terms. They descended fifty feet into
the we'll, where they found a narrow
gallery fifty feet long. leading by grad
ual descent to chamber 225 feet long,
10 wide and 24 feet high. In the
center of the chamber was found large
mausoleum, carved out of the solid rock
and covered with devices, Inscriptions
and bas-reliefs. On stone couch, in its
center, lay the stone figure of man of
giant proportions and well carved. A
carved winged cap or helmet covered
the head. Carved vases, decorated with
flowers and leaves, stood at the corners
of the couch, A copper lamp hung sus-
pended above the head Of the figure.
Twenty small tombs were found against
the walls of the chamber and twenty-five
faces had been painted on the wall near
the entrance. A tomb was broken open
and revealed we'll preserved mummy
nine feet one inch in length. The hair
was of fine texture, black and curly.
A copper spear head, almost as hard as

plates and small urn were also found.
Wrapped in vanished cloth, at the head
of the mummy. lay book of 100 thin
copper leaves, on which characters had
been engraved.

he asked, something that will drive
from my mind the thoughts of sorrow
and bitter recollections ?'' And the
druggist nodded and put him up a lit

six hours the man couldn't think of
anything in the world except new

THE ART OF NOT HEARING

The art of not hearing should be
taught in every we'll regulated family.
1t is full as important to domestic hap
piness as a cultivated ear, for which SO
much money and time are expended.
There are so many things which it is
painful to hear, many which we ought
not to hear, very many which, If heard,
will disturb the temper, corrupt simplic-
ity and modesty, detract from content
ment and happiness, that every one
should be educated to take in or shut
out sounds, according to their pleasure.
If man falls into violent passion
and calls me all manner of names, the
first word shuts my ear, and | hear no
mo more. If, in my quiet voyage of life,
| find myself caught iu one of those
domestic whirlwimds of scolding, | shut
my ears, as a sailor would furl his sails,
and, making all tight, scud before the
gale. If a hot and restless man begins
to infame my feelings, | consider what
mischief these sparks might do in the
magazine below, where my temper is
kept and instantly close the door.
Does gadding. misunderstanding fell
low begin to inform me what people are
saying about me, down drops the porti-
cullis of my ear and he cannot get any
further. Does the collector of the
neighborhood scandal task my ear as a
warehouse, it instinctively shuts up.
Some people feel very anxious to hear
everything that will vex and annoy them.
If it is limited that any one has spoken i'll
of them they set about searching the
matter and finding out. If all the petty
things said of one by needless or i'll
natured idlers were brought home to him,
he would become walking pin-cushion,
stuck full of sharp remarks. | should
as soon thank man for emptying on
my bed bushel of nettles, or setting
loose swarm of mosquitoes in my cham.
ber, or raising pungent dust in my
house generally, as to bring upon me
all the tattle of careless or spitefu
people. If you would be happy wher
among good men open your ears; wher
among bad, shut them. And as the

which it takes care of the air passages
of its own accord, so the ears should bt

BABY'S EYES.

When the baby's eyes are blue,
Think we of summer day,
Violets and dancing rills.
When the baby's eyes are gray,
Doves and dawn are brought to mind.
Brown-of gentle fawns we dream,
And ripe nuts in shady woods.
Black-of midnight skies that gleam
With bright stars. But blue or gray,
Black or brown, like flower or star,
Sweeter eyes can never be
To mamma than baby's are.
