THROUGH THE BALKAN.

The path grows sleeper ~ we ad-
vance, for we are making a short cut
over the shoulder of the mountain, and
SO we struggle up in single file with
occasional halts to breathe the horses,
until, rounding an extremely rugged
corner where some caution is to he
shown in passing, we find ourselves at
the top of II steep grassy slope, leading
down to the green valley of Sveti Petka
Monastery Some maize fields tempt
the sportsmen of the party TO wander
from the track in search of partndges,
but evening is coming ON, and we have
still several miles to go before reaching
our halting place. After short rest III
the courtyard of the monastery to allow
our pack horses a chance of catching
up, during which we are amused by the
determined attacks upon our dogs of
two gaunt sows in defense of their
numerous litters, We mount again, and
night has fallen as We clatter through
the struggling village of Tcherova and
enter the Khan yard, When our horses
have been attended to we beg in to think
about ourselves Tired, cold, and
hungry, it is weary work waiting for
the arrival of our pack horses with our
food and wraps. There is a great
granary behind the Khan, its four sides
open to the winds of heaven, and here
we make up beds of clean hay and
settle ourselves down to wait for our
truant Ella and his horses. From time
to time we make descents upon the
Kahn to see what eatables can be
| found there. The result is hardly
satisfactory. The room is low, dirty,
and full of smoke. A large square hole
in the earthen floor contains wood
! fire, over which culinary operations are
going on. There is no chimney, and
the roof is smoked as black as ebony.
Round the fire are grouped half IL
dozen men and women, clad IN sheep
skins and course white wooden cloth of
the country, redolont OF garlic and
innocent of soap, They are good,
hospitable souls however, and what
they have is freely offered us. Two or
three dozen eggs are boiled, and maize
heads and paprikas (red pepper roasted
in the embers But threefourths of
the eggs are of ancient late, and hose of
OF us are rash enough TO try the papri-
kos will remember for many Il day that
EWopea-s cannot boast the leathery
toushness OF Bulgarian mouths and
| throats

LANGUAGE OF THE RED INDIANS.

One singular fact is the infinite diversi-
ty of language. Not only every tribe, but
every band, of which there are some-
times fifty in single tribe, has its own
dialect or jargon, perfectly unintelligible
to all who do not belong to the band. In
all times the Indians have disdained to
learn even few words of an enemy's
language. Stranger yet the Cheyennes
and Arrapahoes for three-quarters of
century have been firm friends, camping
and hunting together and making war
upon the same enemies at the same
time. The children constantly romp
and play together in the common camp.
Yet not one in ten of either tribe can
hold the most ordinary conversation in
the language of the other
Unable to speak each others language
the Indians of the West have constructed
wonderful sign language by which
they hold intercourse Gestures, signs,
are more or less natural to every one
Among the plains Indians alone
have they reached their most wonder
full development. So complicated and
elaborate is the sign language, consist
ing of countless gestures and movements
the slightest variation in which marks
wide differences in meaning, that only
few Indians in tribe are complete
masters of it, and the masses can only
use it slightly. The signs do not indi-
cate letters nor words, as with the deaf
and dumb, but ideas. There is one
sign to indicate hunger, another for
"stop talking" another for summer,
and SO ON infinitely. Yet an expert
sign talker will either make or interpret
n long speech, which consists of an
infinite number of signs following each
other with lightning-like rapidity. Two
strange Indians will meet on horseback,
each unable to understand spoken
word of the other, and while holding
the reins with the left hand, will con-
verse for hours with their right, telling
stories or relating their experience
without single misunderstanding.

A BARK CANOE, CANADA.

A bark canoe is only one mans load
he turns it upside down, and walks with
it on his head A man toiling across a
portage in this attitude is somewhat
| grotesque sight, suggesting monstrous
new kind of snail Then the canoe will
! go over shadows where anything else
would stick, and as for hardness, an
expert canoeman will almost turn it
round with one twist of the paddle.
Repairs are frequent but simple, con-
sisting mainly in the free application to
damaged places of a resinous gum kept
in store for that purpose. Speed is a
secondary consideration you cannot go
fast padding up, and you cannot help
going fast coming down We came
down a reach in half an hour that we
had taken half day to work up Often
towing and polling have TO be resorted
to to make way against heavy current
Padding, though a more wasteful
application of muscular work than
rowing is less fatiguing when the pace
is not forced, and after little practice
becomes very delectable exercise. The
traveller embarked ON canoe voyage
has to carry most things with him.
Along the river there ure only scattered
farm houses, and tho only certain and
comfortable way of securing shelter for
the night is to camp out. The tents
and other necessaries form the cargo of
the canoes. 1t is astonishing how much
stuff can be slowed away in canoe that
looks quite small-another merit of the
savage birch-bark vessel as compared
with European boats. Every night we
choose our camping ground, pitch our
tents, and make our camp fire; this last
is of great Importance, not only for
warmth and brightness, but for driving
away insects, the only drawback in
life otherwise perfect When people play
at camping out in England they make
fire foot or two across over which they
hang kettle Oh three sticks In Canada
you make fire of logs five or six feet
long, or maybe whole roots of pine or
cedar, which will burn ali night The
trouble of chopplng the wood up small
would be greater than that of burning
1t as it is, and its cost is nothing In
many places indeed, the best fuel is
drift-wood, which could in no way be
made otherwise useful Even in summer
nights the fire is welcome companion,
and after days work at padding hot
tea is the best of drinks whatever the
temperature may be-not that other
drink would be easy to get if one
wanted it, but no such want is felt.

GREENLAND VEGETABLES.

In Greenland some attempts have been
made to raise some of the common plants
Of European gardens. At the Danish
station of Godthaab latitude 81 deg),
close to the open sea, turnips radishes,
lettuces and parsley are almost the only
plants that can be cultivated with any
success. The turnip, indeed requires a
favorable summer to produce anything
like tolerable specimens. The cabbage
are scarcely worthy of the name but
at two island stations up the ford,
about thirty miles north of Godthaab,
the climate is strikingly different.
Here, DIR. Rink informs us, turnips
always come to perfection; carrots pros
per well, and attain a fair size; and
cabbages, though unable to develop
thick stalks, yet produce tolerably large
leaves, which the provident Danes stow
away for winter use.
Attempts have been :made to cultivate
potatoes, but the tubers never attain a
size larger than marbles, and are only
grown and eaten as curiosities. Under
the most favorable circumstances green
peas only produce shells, in which The
peas are barely recognizable. This
is within the Artic Circle, or at least on
its immediate borders. In South Green
land-the site of the old Nolsemen's
settlements ts-horticulture is practiced
under more favorable circumstances. At
some of the posts, in about the same
latitude as Christlana, good carrots
have been produced, and in forcing
frame strawberries have grown well and
yielded fruit for several years, but they
afterward died, owing probably to the
severity of the climate.
At Julianshaab turnips often attain
weight of NOR than half pound, and
are fit for the table in the middle of
July. Radishes are tit to be eaten in
the middle of June. Rhubarb grows
pretty vigorously. and can be raised
from seeds. Green cabbage attains a
good size, but never the normal taste
and pungency of the vegetable. At
Jakobshavn, i'll 90 deg 13 m. our good
friend Dr. Pfaf used to raise few
radishes and thelocality being sheltered,
the tiny patch OF earth on the rocks,
which in that remote place passed for
garden, produced "crops" almost as
luxuriant as Gothaab i'll the south.

THE GOLD-BEATER's ART.

If sheet of gold leaf is held up
against the light it appears to be vivid
green color this means that the light is
transmitted through the leaf When it
is considered that this leaf is a piece of
solid metal. better idea of the extreme
tenuity of thickness of the leaf can be
comprehended than by any comparison
by figures nothing made by the hand of
man equalsit in thinness The extreme
thinness is produced 10y patient hammer
ing, the hammers weighing from seven
to twenty pounds, the lighter hammers
being first used When the true method
OF this beating is understood, the wonder
expressed sometimes that gold-leaf
beating should not be relegated to
machinery, ceases the art belongs to
the highest department of human skill
and judgment Apprentices have
served a term, and have been compelled
to abandon the business, because they
never could acquire the requisite skin
and Judgment combined necessary TO
become successful workmen.

ACORN BREAD.

Says the San Francisco Chronicle; The
Indians scattered along the foothills of
the Sierra are quiet inoffensive
people. They do not appear to be
governed by any tribal laws, yet adhere
to many Of their old traditions. One
OF two men of superior ability and in
dustry form a neucleus around which
others less ambitious gather. Hence
they fence with brush and logs a tract
sufficient for their requirements of hay
making, pasturage, etc Although they
often indulge in the food of the civilized
nations, the acorn is still favorite a
article of diet in every well-regulated
wigwam. The process of converting
this bitter nut into bread is curious
Under the branches of grand old pine
L found them at work They had shucked
and ground in the usual manner large
mass of acorn meats, A number of
circular vats had been followed out of
the black soil, i'll the shape of punch
bowl Into these was put the acorn
pulp At hand stood several large
clothes-baskets filled with water, and
into these they dropped hot stones, thus
heating the water to the required
temperature. Upon the mass of crushed
bitterness they carefully laid the hot
water, making it about the color and
consistency of cream. Not a speck
appeared to mix. A buxom muhala
stood by each vat and with small fir
bough stirred the mass skillfully
removing any speck that hoated udon
the surface. The soil gradually absorbed
the bitter waters, leaving q firm white
substance, of which they made bread. l
asked to taste it, at which they said
something in their language, and all
laughed. l asked again, and after much
laughter 1 was handed small particle
on fgleai. and found it sweet and
palatable. They began to remove it
and so adroitly was this done that but
small portion adhered to the soil
They spread it upon rocks, and in {
short time it was fit for use. This. an
told, they mix with water put 1t into
thin cakes and bake before the fire
