IT. W. Higginson, in Harper's Magazine.J
These Mortimer, or Vikings, were
not merely a far-away people with
whom we have nothing in common, but
they really belonged to the self
same race of men with most of our
selves. They were, perhaps, the actual
ancestors of some living Americans, and
kinsfolk to the majority. They were
the same race who conquered England
and were known as Saxons; then con-
quered France, and were known as Nor
mans; and finally crossed over from
France and conquered England again.
These Morse Vikings were, like most of
us, Scandinavians, and so were really
closer to us in blood and in language
than was the great Columbus.
What we're the ways and manners of
these Vikings? We must remember at
the outset that their name implies moth
ing of royalty. They were simply the
jewellers on Vik, or bay. They were,
in other words, the sea- side population
of the Scandinavian peninsula, the only
part of Europe which then sent forth q
race Of sea-rovers. They resembled in
some respects the Algerine corsairs of a
later period, but, unlike the Algerines,
they were cOnquerors as well as pirates,
and were ready to found settlements
wherever they went. Nor were the Vik-
ings yet Christians, for from the time
when Christianity came among them
their life became more peaceful In the
prime of their heathenism they were the
terror of Europe. They carried their
forays along the whole continent. They
entered every port in England, and
touched at every island on the Scottish
coast. They sailed up the Seine, and
Charlemagne, the ruler of West
ern Europe, wept at seeing
their dark ships in sight of Paris. They
reached the Mediterranean, and formed
out of their own number the famous
Varangian guard of the latter Greek en-
perors; the guard which is described by
Walter Scott in Count Robert of Paris.
They reached Africa, which they called
"Saracens' Land" andtheret took eighty
castles. All their booty they sent back
to Norway, and this wealth included not
only what they took from enemies, but
what they had from the very courts they
served; for it was the practice at Con
stantinople, when an emperor died, fo1
the Morse guard to go through the
palaces and take whatever they could
hold in their hands. To this day Greek
and Arabic gold coins and chains arr
found in the houses of the Norwegia'
peasants, and may be seen in the mu.
seums of Christiania and Copenhagen.

Blockade Running During the War
I'M. Quad in Detroit Free Press

81 never expect to see such flush times
again in my life," said the captain of
successful blockade runner in speaking of
Nassau. Money was. almost as plenty
as dirt. I have seen g. man toss up q $50
gold piece on head or tail, and it would
be followed by score of the yellow-boys
in five seconds. There were times when
the bank vaults would not hold all the
gold, and the coins were dumped down
by the bushel and guarded by soldiers.
Men wagered, gambled. drank and
seemed crazy to get rid OF their money
I once saw two captains put up $500
each on the length of certain porch.
Again saw wager of $500 side as to
how many would beat the dinner table
of certain hotel. The confederates were
paying the English big prices for goods,
but multiplying the figures by five,
seven and ten as soon as the goods are
landed at Charleston. Ten dollars in
vested in quinine in Nassau would bring
from $400 to $500 in Charleston. A
pair of 81 boots would bring from $14 to
$16. A 81 hat would bring So, and so on
all through. Every successful captain
might have made fortune in year, but
I do not believe that five out of the
whole lot had a thousand dollars ON hand
when the war closed. 1t was come easy
go easy"

The Signal Station at Point Barrow.
Latter TO Rnstnr Aduerfisar

The observations that we have been
able to carry through the winter are as
follows: Every hour of the twenty-four
the regular signal service meteorological
observations are taken, and, Immediately
after these are finished, readings are
taken of all these magnetic instruments,
which are permanently in position. This
of course, keeps one of the observers on
duty night and day, though the time is
divided so that the labor falls equally
on all of the four. On the LIST and 18th
of each month we have magnetic STERN
day." which means extra duty, hurry
and crowding for twenty-four hours
s. from midnight to midnight Gottingen
time" On these days all these instru-
msnts are read every five minutes, and
each observer takes his turn at kicking
his heels for an hour in the cold obser-
vatory, where the thermometer has been
known to go down to thirty degrees be-
low zero. You may be sure that term
day comes only too often. Scientific
zeal is easily cooled at such tempera-
lures. I sometimes wonder what the
natives (there is always crowd of them
fattening their noses against the glass
door or "loafng" around the snow tun-
nels we have built to protect our doors
against the drifting storms) think of the
habloonah's' performances. What
must they think of a fellow who every
hour, muffied up to the eyes, and carry
ing q lantern in broad daylight, like
Diogones seeking the honest man, pops
out of the doorway, and casting knew
ing look up to the sky, bolts into the
snow tunnel and hurries over to the
mysterious house, whence every Eskimo
is sternly sent away when he tries to
peep ina Nevertheless, for savages,
they are very intelligent, and are begin
ming to appreciate that we have some
peculiar interest in the weather and what
is to be seen in the sky.

said the city editor. "Why don't you?'
because I have letter here which
says that you are a thief, and liar, and

and a perjurer, and defaulter, and

A Romantic Tale.
[From the Pittsburg Dispatch,


A good many years ago q cashier took
a little lad from a neighboring poor
house, and when the boy had become q
youth he was given a responsible posi-
ton in the bank of which his patron vas
practically the head. Later the cashier
stole more than SIS, 900 from the bank.
Exposure was threatened every day, and
the guilty officer, in a period of depres-
sion, confessed to the youth that he pro-
posed to kill himself. Young Ray, the
protege, was smitten with horror, as he
thought of the terrible turn of affairs,
but, having weighed the matter, the
next day he threw himself into the
breech. He suggested, and the cashier
eagerly accepted the suggestion, that he
should fasten the. guilt upon himself and
abscond, thus leaving his patron honest
in the worlds eyes, though bIackened in
his own. What the public heard of the
Westport robbery was that bank clerk
named Ray had stolon $4,000.
Detectives found several clews, but
not until years afterward was the secret
disclosed. One of the detectives who
had been employed in the case came up
with Ray under still more romantic cir
cumstanccs. The detective, according
to his "reminiscences published last week
III San Francisco paper, was called re-
Gently to western city to ferret out the
person who had robbed private house
of 200 gold eagles. The only man under
arrest was one Henry Martin. As soon
as the detective saw Martin the former
said: 'You are Dallas Ray, who robbed
the Westport bank" Ray then told the
true story of the robbery, and the story
has been verified since. Ray claimed
that he was innocent of the gold eagle
burglary and asked the detective to take
a note to his sweetheart. a Miss Morse.
When the latter heard of her lovers
predicament she threw her whole soul
into obtaining proof of his innocence.
She went to the house where the rob-
berry had been committed. Having
asked If the burglar had left anything in
his flight, she was given handkerchief
that had been dropped by the intruder.
She put the handkerchief to her nose and
exclaimed: Find the thief who uses
this perfume (naming the peculiar brandy
and you will find your eagles" It was
found that only one drug store in the
city sold that kind of perfumery and
that only one bottle had been bought
within the preceding month. Need 1t
be added that the purchaser was traced,
the eagles regained, and the lovers mar
ried
