Eskimo pous.

Lieutenant Frederick schwatka says
in st. Nicholas that hard as it may seem,
the Eskimo dog never gets fed oftener
than every other day, and generally
about every third day; while in times of
want and starvation in that terrible
country of cold, the length of time these
poor dogs will 60 without food seems
beyond belief.
once had fine team Of nineteen fat
Eskimo dogs that went six or seven days
between meals for three consecutive
feelings before they reached the jour
neys end and good food; and although
they all looked very thin, and were no
doubt very weak, none Of them died !;
and yet they had been travelling and drag
ging heavy sledge for great part of
the time Other travellers among the Es-
kimo have given equally wonderful ac-
counts Of their powers Of fasting. The
Eskimo have many times of want and
deprivation, and then their poor dogs
must suffer very much. But when they
are fed every other day on good fat wal
rus meat, and they do not have much
hard work to do, they will get as fat and
saucy and playful as your own dogs with
three meals day. One Of the very best
things you would imagine to be good for
them is the best food they get; that is,
tough walrus hide, about an inch in
thickness snd as wiry as sole leather
Give your team dogs good meal Of this
before they start, take along light sup
ply Of il for them, and you can be gone
q couple cf weeks on q trip; when you
get back, feed them up we'll and they
viii be as fat and strong as ever in a
verylfew days.

Part in time. THOMAS KEAN.
In an official account of the laying
out of new streets for the city in 1907,
signed bv Gouverneur Morris, Simeon
Dewitt, and John Rutherford, com-
m~issioners, the following paragraph
occurs:
To some it may seem a matter OF
surprise that the whole island has been
laid out as a city. To others ii may
be a subject of merriment that the
Commissioners have provided space
for a greater population than is col
lected at any spot on this side Of China.
They have in this respect been govern
ed by the shape of the ground. tits
not improbable that considerable
numbers may be collected ut Harlem
before the high hills to the southwark
of it shall be built upon as a city, and
it is improbable that (tor centuries TO
come) the grounds north of Harlem
Flats will be covered with houses. To
have come short of the extent laid out
might therefore have defeated just
expectations, and to have gone further
might have furnished materials to the
pernicious spirit of speculation.-Neu

A Pair of Shoes.

A great naturalist said: ''Show me
a scale, III draw the fish" Had he
been n shoemaker he might have said:
''Show me a shoe, I'll tell the wearer."
The sandal of the Arab, the tiny shoe
of the high-bred woman Of China, the
wooden dancing shoe of the Dutch,
the high-heeled court slipper. sr the
sensible walking shoe of the English
and Americans, proclaim their nation
ality to the tyro. An amature might
not readily recognize the characters
tics of different districts within a single
nation but the practiced designer must
know that in the United States, for
instance, your northerner wants his
shoe comfortable, neat, and Stylish;
the Southerner asks for something
fancy and handsome; the agricultural
west demands solidity, ~fullness, and
an article stout to break the land for
a coming population. "a pair OF
shoes is one of the most typical pro-
ducts of modern industry. To make
them the animal kingdom contributes
from the herds roaming on western
plains or South American pampas, or
from the barnyards near at home; the
vegetable, from dotted groves OF hem
lock and oak, or from great forests
still left to us. Great textile manu-
factories supply cloth and thread;
mines, furnaces, and FORCES combine
to furnish nails or wire. A hundred
machines have been invented, one of
which has changed the whole course
of a great industry, and produced
large cities. Through scores of pro-
cesses, the forty-four pieces of a pair
of shoes require to bring them together
the operation OF fifty men, women,
and children; the division of labor is
pursued to the utmost, demanding In
turn for it's successful maintenance the
dispensing OF product the world over;
until, as a result, you, well-shod read
err, can buy for SO what would have
cost your forefrthers Sc. AS the read
er buys a pair of shoes his next pair
may at the same moment be lodging
the lasso of the cowboy" on some far
away plain, or perhaps be in process
of slaughter at Chicago. The perish
able beef promptly reaches the market,
and one day soon you dine from a fat,
juicy roast, little thinking as you
smack your lips after dinner that the
fine pliable skin which once protected
the delicate morsel may at some time
contribute to your outward comfort.
Stranger things have happened. The
skins or hides meantime are salted,
and the buyer of sailed hides sends
part of them, say, to Peabody, Mass,
to be tanned for upper leather, and
the rest to central New York, to be
tanned for sole leather. -Harper''S

Selecting a Church.

On the question of selecting a church
"a question of deep interest as affect
ing church growth-Tbe Adcdnce has
the following: ''Some Christian men
look mainly to the effect which the
decision will have on their business.
A lawyer, physician, or merchant,
entering a e place, is strongly in
clined to go to the church that has
the largest numbers and the greatest
influence. It will give him a large
circle of influential acquaintance who
may be helpful to him in his business.
The temptation is to select a church
with an eye to business. Some dis
tinctly avow this as a reason for
choosing the strongest church. Others
are almost unconsciously Influenced
by this motive. Some Christians de-
eide the question on the basis of social
surroundings. They gravitate to the
church where there is the most wealth,
culture, fashion, and society influence.
OF course these are generally found in
the central or first church. Another
class is drawn to the church where
the crowd goes; where they can hear
eloquent preaching and artistic music.
This, as a rule, takes them to the cen
trail, strong church. The eloquent
sermon may be full of the gospel, or
il may be a very thin dilution of it,
but this matters little to them, pro-
viding it is smart and popular. These
are seif-indulgent Christians. Others
consider, not. like the first class. what
will come into the pocket, but what
will go out, and they prefer the church
where their Sunday entertainment will
cost them little or nothing. Generally
this is the wealthy, central church,
where there are many to bear the
financial burden. As a rule then. all
these motives operate to draw new
corners to the largest and w~ealthiest
| church of their denomination. But
these motives arc gelfish. They are
unworthy of Christian man. They
surely are not such as our self-denying
Lord would approve. Doubtless there
are sometimes good reasons why new
corners should GO to the largest and
strongest church, but they are not
such reasons as above. The newcomer,
or the new convert, should settle the
question by honestly asking and in
diligently answering these questions:

In the midst of the excitement OF
the great upheaval in English politics,
Queen Victoria is serene. John
Brown and court etiquette apparently
engross her royal thoughts. Proba-
blyit pleases her to see Mr.. Gladstone
step out, because Mr.. Gladstone is a
plebeian, who considers the red tape
and fummery Of the court a weari-
ness, if not an intolerable nuisance !;
while Lord Salisbury and the other
Tory leaders are blue-blooded and
altogether elegant. 1t is also note
worthy that Her Majesty is indebted

Normal Notes.

At meeting of the State Board oil
Education at Austin, the method OF
selecting pupils for the Sam Houston
Normal Institute was reorganized.
Hereafter, each senator and repre-
sentative will be allowed to select one
student thus taking the selection
away from the entire jurisdiction of
the senators. The number of stu
dents for the coming session was re
duced from 159 to 40. Although
the appropriation of $4,000 remains
the same as last year, this was rem
dered necessary by the reduction of
the Peabody appropriation for the
school from $4,000 to $4,000, and an
increase of board from S13 to.Sl5

No department of the government
has been worse mismanaged than
that Of agriculture. The late COM
missioner spent his time from June to
November making speeches for Blaine,
and the new commissioner found that
$3S was the unexpended balance left
him for carrying on the department
for three months, or until the appro-
priations for the next fiscal year shall
become available.
How this state of affairs has been
brought about, it is easy to see. There
is no doubt that funds have been
largely used to promote the election
of the republican candidate for the
presidency. For the purpose of cur.
rying favor and gaining votes, the
salaries Of employees ia various states
have been largely increased. Thus,
in one instance, q man in the statist-
ical department out in Kansas had
his salary raised from $500 to $4,000,
while his chief in the bureau at Wash
ingtoh only gets 81, 500. This whole
sale distribution of the funds of the
department for political purposes
soon ran away with the appropriation,
and to this as much as to any other
cause the bankrupt condition of the
Agricultural Bureau is to be attrib-
uted. The original intent OF congress
in appropriating money for the dis
tribution of seeds, was to buy rare
grains beyond the reach of ordinary
agriculturists, and 80 distribute them
as to improve the character of our
crops. Instead of this, however, the
recent commissioner bought for free
distribution ordinary seeds to be
found in every seed store in the coun-
try. The true character of these
common seeds was hidden under
high-sounding names, and they were
sent by congressman broadcast thro-
out their districts for the purpose of
making votes. For the last five years
the bureau has not introduced u Sin
gle new grain of any value, nor has it
done one thing to aid the true inter
