men nearly always included pipes or
| tobacco, with the addition of books,
states, pencils, wristIets, etc. Sergeant
! Rice thought it an adverse fate which
sent to hinl-a on-smoker-a pouch
filled with q goodly quantity of the
weed. Sergt. Gardiner was greatly de-
lighted and surprised by receiving from
his sister a comforter knit by her hands.
Others, who had been the recipients
of appropriate presents for their out
fit on leaving the United States, some
what envied Gardiner his Christmas
gift from home. Ahandsome rug, sent
for one of the men who had been Or
dered back in the steamer Proteus, in
1881, was disposed of by rattle and
fell to Corporal Ellison. The distribu-
tion of these gifts was made by Sergt.
Rice, who, in presenting them, added
in each instance few words of con-
graduation or well-meant badinage
as best befitted the individual.
The gifts from the commanding Of
ficer were now in order. Twenty four
cans of uniform size, numbered from
one upwards, were set on the table
and disposed of by chance. The high
est throw had first choice, and select
ed number which entitled him to the
can. AS with Portals sealed cask-
cts, the privilege of external examin-
alton was granted, and, as in that
case, where weighty gold and shining
silver lost theprize, so here the heavier
and more attractive cans were no. 81
ways the most valuable. In general
the heavier cans were filled with beans,
nuts or rice, while the lighter contain
ed orders for confections, fruits, rum,
etc. One fortunate individual, Sergt.
Gardiner, drew an order for ton of
ice-a second an order "GOOd for moth
ing" and third a ticket "GoOd for a
passage to St. Johns by the first
steamer" AS transpired two years
later, Gardiner, poor fellow, had it in
mind to turn the joke upon me and
pay me off in my own coin. On one
of the bright days that came to us in
the springtime at Sabine-for, even
amidst all our sufferings and terrible

ated as we were upon the verge of the
world, and living in the great shadow
OF that Arctic night, to us all came more
touchingly and forcibly than ever the
truth of those beautiful words:
"If take the wings of the morning
and remain in the uttermost parts OF
the sea.
Given there also shall thy hand lead
me and thy right hand hold me.
eff | say, peradventure the darkness
shall cover me; then shall my night be
turned to day.
"Yea, the darkness is no darkness
with thee, but the night is as clear
the day; the darkness and light are
to thee both alike"
Need | say that our morning exer-
cises were closed with "Praise God
from Whom all Blessings Flow" in
which even the least musical raised
his voice?
During the day nearly every man
took an unusual amount of physical
exercise in view of the approaching
feast, and the three-mile course to
Dutch island and back was. as usual,
the favorite of the day. If high noon
brought to us naught but the shining
stars and circling planets of the night,
yet our eyes and senses, trained to
Arctic darkness, enabled us to keep
the rough roadway through the tan
gled ice-foot and on the paleo-crystic
foe. And if Nature by her frosty touch
had banished every living subject from
our cline and thus silenced the hum
of animal life, yet with grand and
wordless voices she spoke to us
through the surging tides and crack
ling ice-foot.

on one piece paint the monkeys eyes,
nose and mouth. Make good, large
rag doll and cover the hands and feet
with dark brown kid, stitching
through the hands SO as to represent
fingers; the feet should also be made
quite flat and but little cotton in
them. Glue the head on and put on a
red flannel or knit cap in such way
as to conceal this joining of the head
and face, and make black velvet pants
and red flannel jacket and gilt but

course, the monkey wants O. tail.
A ball knit or crotched of bright col

Many girls would take an immediate
interest in sewing if they owned a

failed us, and some days were bright
and cheerful to us-he opened his wal
let and said:
Ihavehere, major, a paper that may
interest you. l had intended to pre-
sent it to you to be honored on our
arrival home, but, as that may never
be, I would like you to read it now"
1t was my order for ton of ice.
While the raffling was in progress,
skillful hands had been busy preparing
our Christmas cups, adelicious egg-nog
delicious to us even though the milk
and eggs used for compounding it were
from the can and not freshly from the
farm The merriment of the evening,
as was natural and appropriate, burst
forth in song. Plantation melodies,
comic songs and sentimental ditties
were rendered, giving way, as midnight
approached, to sacred hymns and those
beautiful and tender Christmas carols
which have come down to us from the
middle ages. Thus with songs of
praise was ushered in that Christmas
morn in our lonely home in the weird
and frozen Northland.
At o'clock on Christmas day the
thermometer registered 40 degrees be-
low zero, but calm weather and
clear sky insured delightful day, as
Arctic days go at that season of the
year. Our breakfast came as usual
at 7:3O. At 10 o'clock the men as
sembled for the customary Sunday
service. The selection of Psalms for
Christmas day was read, as we'll as

This sudden change spoke well for the
morrow and gave new vigor to Sergts.
Rice and Brainerd, who had set their
hearts upon q fitting celebration OF
the coming day. They asked the
use of all flags, banners and
other decorative articles, intimat-
ing at the same time that my alb
sence from the mems quarters until
8 2. NJ was desirable. At that hour,
entering the emen's quarters, the results
of their work stood disclosed. The
bright flags, neat banners and gay
guidons were tastefully arranged and
presented a marked and delightful
contrast to the smoked -begrimmed
walls and ceiling. In the most promi-
nent place was hung an afghan, whose
alterations of snowy whiteness and
crimson color were broken by various
devices in delicate needlework. It's
golden anchor OF hope, it's silver horse
shoe of luck, its white lilies of purity,
its sweet violets of remembrance, its
cross of faith were to us all emblems
ever dear. Wrought by loving hands
in other climes, its first usefulness
served to cheer and brighten our lone
ly Arctic quarters on this Christmas
eve.
After pleasant and careful inspec-
ton of the decorations and general
comments on the care and taste dis
played, the distribution of our Christ
mas gifts camein order. Unfortunate
ly, we could not conform to the tradi-
tional customs, for the Christmas tree
was wanting. A thorough search the
previous autumn had satisfied us that
all Grinnell land contained but sin
gle living variety of shrub or tree-the
Arctic willow. The largest specimen
of it seen by us was but creeping
shrub, as thick as ones thumb and
about a foot in length. So we were
content to distribute our gifts in
more prosaic manner. Our stock OF
presents was not large. The greater
part of them had been contributed

Christmas.

"Then opened wide the baron's hall
To yassal, tenant, surf and all;
A Christmas gamboI oft would cheer
A poor mans heart through half the year
To-day is Christmas day, and a
merry one to all our readers is our
hearty and earnest wish.
To day, we live and celebrate the
greatest feast OF all the year, for it
brings to us the Infant Jesus.
We begin our life anew this morning
at the manger in Bethlehem, and with
good intents and promises, propose
to follow in the footsteps of that
sacred child who cuddles to the
bosom of his Holy mother; she who is
destined to follow and share with Him
in His trials and sorrows while on
earth, that she may enjoy the bless
ings of His heavenly home when the
day of His resurrection cometh.
All nature smiles this morning, and
at every turn we hear the carols ofthe
Christmas-tide, announcing that "this
day is born to us Saviour Man
kind himself is happy and though the
green sod be carpeted with snoW-fakes,
there prevails quietude, whose throb-
bing and pulsation fills us with rev.
erence and surround us with halo of
ethereal light; whose beauty is beyond
compare; whose presenceis as brilliant
as the noon-day sun, and as mellow as
the views we often witness by the fit
ting of the clouds as they cast their
shadows on the hillside and meadow
land in heearly morn ola bright sum-
mer's day.
To-day the home circle rejoice, for
it brings the young and old of the
household together, and the peaceful
influence of its happy hours allays,
perhaps, the feeling of strife and con-
tention that may have existed for
years between some members of that
family circle, but under the soothing
influence of q Christmas day, allis for

So each shall mourn, in life's advance,
Dear hopes, dear friends, untimely killeo
Shall grieve for many a forfeit chance
And longing passion unfultilled.
Amen!-whatever fate be sent,
Pray God the heart may kindly glow,
Although the head with cares be bent
And whitened with the winter snow.
Come wealth or want, come good or ill,
Let young and old accept their part,
And bow before the awful will.
And bear it with an honest heart.
Who misses, or who wins the prize
Go, love or conquer as you can;
But if you fail, or if you rise,
Be each, pray God, gentleman.
A gentleman, or old or young.
(Bear kindly with my humble lays0
The sacred chorus first was sung
Upon the first of Christmas days;
The shepherds heard it overhead
The joyful angels raised it then:
Glory to Heaven on high, it said,
And peace on earth to gentle men!
My song, save this is little worth;
lay the weary pen aside,
And wish you health, and love, and mirth
AS fits the solemn Christmas tide.
AS fits the holy Christmas birth,
Be this, good friends, our carol still
Be peace on earth, be peace on earth,
To men of gentle will.

CHRISTMAS.
BY EUGENE FELL


My little child comes to my knee
And tugging pleads that he may climb
Into my lap to hear me tell
The Christmas tale he loves so we'll
A tale my mother told to me,
Beginning "Once upon a time
1t is tale of skies that rang
With angel rhapsodies sublime;
OF that great host, serene and white,
The shepherds saw one winter night
And of the glorious stars that sang
An anthem once upon time.
This story of the hallowed years
Tells OF the sacrifice sublime
OF one who prayed alone and wept
While his awearied followers slept
And how his blood and Mary's tears
Commingled, once upon a time.
And now my darling at my side
And echoes of the distant chime
Bring that sweet story back to me
OF Bethlehem and Calvary,
And OF the gentle Christ that died
For sinners, once upon a time.
The mighty deeds that men have told
In ponderous tones or fluent rhyme,
Like misty shadows fade away
But this sweet story 'bides for aye.
And, like the stars that sang OF old,
We sing of "Once upon time"

you want to buy a dog?" The ap-
propriateness of the remark lay in the
fact that Schneider had devoted him

then caring especially for two litters
of them. The officers mess was the
recipient of an excellent imitation of

seventy days the cheerless gloom and
