A Queer Snort.

Lieutenant Frederick Schwatka, in st. Nicholas.
One athletic amusement in which Eskimo boys
indulge, and which requires great deal of
strength is a peculiar kind of short race on the
hands and feet The boys lean forward on their
hands and feet, with their arms and legs held as
stiffiy as possible, and under no circumstances
must they bend either the elbows or knees. In
this stiff and rigid position, resting only their
feet and on the knuckles of their clenched
fists, they jump or hitch forward couple
of lnches by a quick, conyusive movement
of the whole body. These movements are rapidly
repeated perhaps once or twice in second un-
til the contestants have covered two or three
yards along the hard snow-drifts. Then they
become exhausted, for. as / have already said,
this exercise calls for considerable strength. and
is indeed yery fatiguing amusement; so that,
by the time boy has played quite energetieally
in this way, if only for minute, he feels very
tired and is willing to take a breathing spell.
1t is not very graceful game, and if you were
to take a carpenters wooden horse and jog it
along by short jerks over the floor, you would
have a tolerably fair representation Of this awk-
ward game of the Eskimo children. The best
part Of it all is the exercise it gives them, and

A Runaway Ride.
The Nursery.


On a bright winter morning Minnie took tho
train to Providence, all by herself.
Not word had she said at home about it; and
what she did it for nobody knows. But there
she was, all wrapped up in her pretty gray coat
and white mittens. She had blue bow under
her chin, and looked very pretty as she climbed
into the cars.
People looked at her with some surprise as she
passed along the aisle. But she moved very
quietly, only humming little song to herself,
and did not seem at all afraid. So they thought
maybe she was used to going alone
She curled herself up on one of the soft crimson
cushions, and looked out of the window. The
cars went rumbling on, with Minnie, in high
the conductor came by but in some way he
missed Minnie, and did not ask for her ticket.
What she would have done if he had she didn't
know. She had neither ticket nor money
When the cars stopped lady came in and
took seat by Minnie She was a pretty lady,
and wore dress of soft brown cashmere. Min
ME touched the ladys dress with one little white
mitten The lady smiled, talked to her awhile,
and gave her tumble out of her BAG.
Minnie liked the tumble very much. The lady
asked Minnie where she was going but she
couldn't tell.
THE conductor knows, l suppose" thought
the lady. Perhaps she belongs to him."
Rumble, rumble went the cars, and Minnie
grew drowsy Soon she was fast asleep. The
train reached Mansfield. In came gentleman
in great hurry, looking about him, right and
left The first thing Minnie knew, he picked
her up and carried her into the station
The gentleman looked kind and patted her
head, but did not tell her what he was going to
do. Minnie had half mind to cry, but con-
cluded she wouldn't.
When the train came along he gave her to
another gentleman, and this one took her into
the car. He took care of her all the way back
to Boston. Do you think Minnie thanked him!
Not a bit.
Do you wonder how he knew where she liveda
Just this way. She was missed from home, and
word was sent to Mansfield by telegraph Her
home was in the Providence station.
Do you think she was a very naughty little
girl and was sent to bed?
She was not little girl at ali, only gray
pussy. But this is a true story.

Hush, Teddie, you must not accuse Mary
unless you have some further proof. Perhaps it
has dropped on the floor, or you may have laid
it somewhere else and forgotten. We will go

But all search for the missing bill proved in
vain, and even Mrs. Newman had some faint
misgivings that perhaps the chambermaid had
been tempted TO take it, though upon being
questioned she denied all knowledge of it's
whereabouts.
Nearly month went by. One night the
water pipe in Teds room, and some of the boards
in the floor had to be taken up. Ted watched
the carpenter with all boys interest. In the
board nearest the burst pipe was mouse
hole, and as the plank was lifted immense guam
titles of minute bits of paper were revealed.
These, sufficient to fill two large jars, were
drawn out. And in one corner of the heap was
a nest of young mice.
'Il be bothered!' exclaimed the carpenter, as
he threw them out: ''if here amt nest of mice

Ted shouted, as his mother jus. then entered
the room. And, sure enough, it was the bank
bill, wholly uninjured, except slight stain; yet
it was absolutely the only piece of paper left en-
tire of the whole heap
The mouse must have carried the bill, folded
as it was, through the hole, and spread it out as
lining to its nest, conscious of its softness and
fexibility
Ted was very glad to see his unce's gift once
more, but not half so glad as Mary was when he
went to her and explained how he found it, and

and there was still left in the other bottle a
considerable quantity of the deadly drug. The

a glorious summer morning. The thunderstorm

and cleared the atmosphere. Hampstead Heath

perfume and the sun was flooding the landscape

this interview, on account chiefly of disap-
pointment in money matters. About a
month before his death he remembered that
a security Needham had given him upon
which he had found money for the Irish bank
had not been registered, and after Needham left
on Friday he determined to have it registered.
There was something so despairing in Needham's
manner that he felt the bank was on the eve of
collapse. During the conversation he (witness)
mentioned this security to Needham, and there
was something so strange in his manner he wit
ness had suspicion that there was something
wrong about it. He, therefore, sent his partner
with the deed to Dublin. On arriving there he
was not long in discovering that it was forge
~. The security purported to be deed given
on the purchase of an estate in the Encountered
Estates Court. 1t was signed by
two of the commissioners and two attesting
witnesses, and not single signature was geuu-
inc. Sensation in court 1t had real seal of
the Encountered Estates Court attached to it,
but there was no doubt it had been transferred
from some other genuine deed. de (witness)
attributed Mechanic death to his excitement
about the Needham Bank and to his knowledge
that he (witness) about to send this deed
over to Dublin for registration. There were
rumors of other forgeries but he knew of no
other forged deed than his own. Several of Mr..
Needham's deeds had from time to time passed
through his hands to persons who had advanced
money upon them, but he lwitness) had no
reason to believe that any one of them was not
genuine. He did not think anybody enjoyed the
deceascd's confidence Mr. Needham was a very
reticert man it was difficult to get any informa-
ton from him beyond what he chose to impart
He should think Mr.. Sadler had written the
letters produced under great excitement, and he
believed that some of the statements in them
were not correct.
There vas then a long discussion between the
coroner aud the witness as to what it was proper
to disclose in regard to the deceased's affairs,
what might be known and what might not; and
