Family ReuniOD,

There are scenes in which cannot mngle with
out experiencing the feeling gIadness. When cir
cumstances so combine as to bring before the mind
all the happy associations of the past the heart is I'LL
ed with joy. There such occasions in life.
OF these, none, perhaps, is delightful than the
family reunion. What an array of memories crowd
before the mind, when, after separation for almost
quarter of century, the family comes together
again! AS incidents startling and amusing
hearsed, we rejoice in the renewal of youth. How
strange of these early appear when
viewed through older and more experienced eyes :
These changes break the monotOny of life We are
daily having new experiences in the midst of the
same surroundings. OF these experiences no two
alike. AS individual knows but little of the real
inner life of another he must be unacquainted with
the real effect that certain produce any and
every one except himself Each has experience
peculiarly his own. The parent cannot know the
feelings of the child the child those par
ent We are happy unhappy, Joyous sad and
we imagine others under similar circums tan
and yet quite ignorant to their real feel
ings. for we are judging and measuring them by
own experience and not by theirs So limited our
powers that know but little even of ourselves.
Notwithstanding these limitations and these widely
different and varied experiences, there come seasons
that we agree in calling pleasant joyous. Such

his majority before the mother was called away Pre-
vfous to her DEATH this probably the largest fam
lily in Jackson County, in which all were Lying and
in which all the children had reached the years of
manhood and womanhood.
The father is still hale old and able to see
the management of the farm When he saw his chill
dren eight sons and three daupbters gathered sbout
him, not little affected and it was observed
when dinner-time came that his appetite was gone.
Yet he was delighted to all his children seated at
his table once more.
After the enjoyable dinner prepared by Mary and
the step-mother, Mr.. Miller, the photographer was
brought from jackson, and arrangements were made
for having family-group picture taken
The day brought choice blessings to parent and
child and will through if be one of the most pleas

s.Fat,' or ssLean, for the Arctics.

While one medical board would have
ruled me ont rs physically unfit for
arctic duty, I have been generally
greeted by people with the remark that
I looked ike a person who could endure
it quite well enough, and most Of these
opinions are founded, as the converse
tons would show, on the idea that I was
bountifully supplied with a natural COW
ering for my skeleton that ought to
keep it warm, and I think this idea is
general that "fat" persons can with
stand the cold much better than a clean"
one.
This idea originates in the fact that
the Esquimaux devour large quantities
Of fatty food to keep them warm, and
are generally quite rotund in outline.
Yet n of my white party was as thin
and lean as q bean pole, and seemed to
resist the very coolest weather as we'll
as the others, and in fact a little better
than the average man. / think the
power to digest and assimilate fat is a
better one than the mere carrying it on
ones bones; or, to make q comparison:
think q person can produce a warmer
fire by throwing the fat in the stove and
burning it up than they can by wrapping
it around the furnace On the outside. I
think this distinction can be made, and
that the two qualities can exist indepen-
IDENTIFY of each other. / have known
men from the Fat Mems Club to suffer
severely in cold weather, and the case I
have given is q good one Of the reverse.
Although not endowed with q great deal
of adipose tissue on the outside, the
amount my thin man could take inside
was fully equal to that of the most alb
sorbent Of the Esquimaux.-Liealt.
