The unseen mechanism is of the same

The Lost Tribes Of Israel.

A proclamation was lately issued BY
the Ameer of Afghanistan which brings
forward one of the most curious riddle.
in history; the disappearance of the ten
lost tribes of Israel. Ethnologists and
antiquarians have followed every trac.
Of these vanished nations with the ardol
of slcuth-hounds on a trail.
There is hardly a race in Asia, Europe
or America that has not at some time
been proved to DO descended from the
lost Israclites. Chief among these are
the Chinese, the Mongol Tartars, the
Japanese, the Cossacks, the Gypsics, and
the American Indians. Even the Saxons,
through whom bluff John Bull and Puri-
tan New England got into the world,
have had, and still have, their supporter
as to this mysterious claim. A library OF
learned tones has been written on thii
single question.
The Afghans in feature strongly re-
semble the Hebrews, but they hold them.
selves aloof from the modern Jews, OF
whom there are large numbers in the
kingdom. The Afghans coll themselves
Benz Melik Talut, or Sons Of Saul,
and the legend of their origin is that
when David took possession of tho throne
of Saul, that Kings grandson Afghan,
n giant in size and strength, established
himself in the mountains of Persia, and
afterwards in the country now known as
Afghanistan.
Sir William Jones, the great antigua.
rian, examined the proofs of this story and
gave it credence.
The Amcer's recent claim is of interest
to the Hebrews and others who attempt
to interpret the ancient prophecies, q.
many of them hold the belief that the
Hebrew race will all be gathered again
into the Holy Land, and that immedi.
ately before this restoration the ten lost
tribes will be discovered somewhere in
the neighborhood of Afghanistan. 1t is,
in any case, a curious question, involving
the descent of a race through the mos,
mysterious regions of history. Youth.

A "GentlemaH's" Legal Status.

Who is gentleman, has long been a
puzzling question; but an English judge
has settled the matter, and passed judy
ment in a particular instance that a de-
PENDANT before him was not a gentleman.
There is an old Act of George H., which
provides that cursing and swearing on
the part of laborers, soldiers and sailors
shall be punished by a fine of one shil-
ling; by any other persons under the de-
gree of a gentleman of a fine of two shil-
lings; and by a person of the degree of
gentleman or above by a fine of five shil-
lings. A man named Bliss was arrested
for profanity, and convicted before a
Kentish justice, who fined him two shil-
lings, thereby declaring him to be Sun
der the degree c. a gentleman" Per-
haps Mr.. Bliss might appeal, declaring
that he should have been fined five shil-
lings. Who would not pay extra three
shillings to be judicially declared a gen.

l have often been asked, says DR..
Felix l.. Oswald, at what age infants can
first be safely exposed to the influence of
the open mir. My answer is, on the first
warm, dry day. There is no reason why
q newborn child should not sleep as
soundly under the canopy of a garden
tree on q pillow of sun-warmcd hay, us in
the atmosphere of an ill-ventilatcd nur-
scry. Thousands of sickly musings,
pining away in the slums of our manu-
featuring towns, might be saved by an
occasional sunbath.
Aside from its warmth and chemical
influence on vegetable oxygen, sunlight
exercises upon certain organisms a vital
izing influence which science has not vet
quite explained, but whose effect i; illus
trated by contrast between the weeds of
a shady grove and those of the sun-lit
fields, between the rank grass of a deep
valley and the aromatic heritage of a
meadow, rs we'll as by the pc
culiar wholesome appearance of ''sun-
burned" persons and un-ripened fruit.
Sunlight is too cheap to become a fash
ionable remedy, but its hygienic infu-
ence can hardly be overrated.

How the Indians Made .Supar.

Thomas Conant, an old resident of
Canada, writes to the Toronto Globe:
The Jesuit fathers, who were tb1 first
white mon in this country among the In
dams, tell us that the Indians made sug-
ar regularly every spring by tapping the
sugar maple. At this time the Indians
did not havc iron kettles for BOILING the
maple sap in. Then it becomes a curious
question how they did manage to boil
down the %succulent juice without a Hottie
to boil it in. They tapped the trees with
their t~omahawks, and inserted a Spite in
the incision to conduct the sap from the
trees to the vessel beneath. Their spilc
was a piece of dry pine or cedar wood,
grooved on its upper side for the sap to
q down. No doubt this process was
extremely crude, still, with all its crudi-
ties, they succeeded in producing q con-
siderable quantity of sugar each spring.
Their buckets were made by taking a
roll of birch bark and sewing up the ends
with deer sincws or roots. Thus thew
got a vessel capable of holding q pailful,
and no doubt the sap caught in such YES
scls was just as sweet rs that which
we now gathcrin our bright tin pals at
lar greater expense and trouble. Gath
ering the sap from the birchen buckets,
1t was carried by the original red man to
the boiling-place. At this boiling-placc
was q large caldron made of large sheets
of birch bark. Beside the caldron a fire
was built, and in this fire was placed q
lot OF stones. AS soon Us the stones be-
came heated to n red heat they were
dropped into the birchcn caldron, prcvi-
ously filled with sap. BY taking out the
cooled stones and putting in more hot
ones, and repeating the process, even
slow as it was, they got the sap to boil
ing. Once got to boiling, by reheating
The extracted stones, they kept up the
boiling and 30 continued the process. un-
til after q time they got the sap boiled
down, and sugar was the result. That
WAS making sugar without the aid of a
Kettle, and no doubt many will doubt
the accuracy Of the statement. 1t is a
positive fact, for my forefathcrs who
came to this province in the last century
have handed down in family tradition
the story of the process just as 1 havc
narrated it. Indeed, they were eyc-wit-
nesscs OF the process themselves. With
tho advent of settlers Of course the Indi-
m soon learned better, and traded his
furs with the fur-dealer for iron kettles,
and then began making sugar much as
the white man does now.

Boat Life.

In Poland some families are born and
die in salt mines, without ever living
above ground, and in Japan some are
born ard die in the same way on boats,
without ever living on shore. One of the
most interesting features Of Japanese life
to me, says u recent traveller there, was
the manner of living in the boats and
junks, thousands of which frequent every
bay along the coast. The awkward junks
always belong to the members of one
family, and usually every branch of the
family, young and old, live on board.
The smaller sail-boats arc made like a
narrow flat-boat, and the sail (thcy never
have but one) is placed very near tho
stern, and extends from the mast about
the same distance in either direction: !. c.,
the mast runs in the middle OF the sail
when it is spread.
In these little boats men arc born
and, die without ever having an
abiding place On shore. Women and
all are nearly naked, except in rains,
when they put on layers of fringy straw
mats, which give them the appearance
of being matched. At night, if in har-
Dor, they bend poles over the boat from
side to side in the shape of a bow and
cover them with this straw-watcr-tight
straw-and go to sleep all together like a
lot of pigs.
A child three years old can swim
like a fish; and often children who
will not learn of their own accord are re-
peatedly thrown overheard unit they be-
come expert swimmers. In the harbors
children seem to be perpctually tumbling
overheard, but the mothers deliberately
pick them out of the water, and clfing
them a little, 60 on with their work. It
is really astonishing at what age these
boys and girls will learn to scull a boat.
I have seen a boat more than twenty feet
long most adroitly managed by three chill
dren all under seven years of age. I I'm
told that Notwithstanding their aptness
at swimming, many boatmen getdrowncd,
for no boat ever goes to another's aid,
nor will any boatman save another. from
drowning, because, as he says, it is all
fate, and he who interferes with fate will
be severely punished in some way. Be-
sides this, the saving of a boatmar's life
only keeps a chatting soul SO much longer
in ~purgatory, when it ought to be releas-
ed by the death of the sailor whom the
gods, by fate, seem to have selected for
the purpose.

Sunday Night In Stockholm.

AT ntSnt-especlaiy Sunday night
th~ scene is almost more animated, still
harder to find in any part of the world,
says Charles w. Wood, in the Argosy,
writing of Sweden. Quays brilliantly H.
Illuminated, the electric light shining out
IN dazzling contrast with the feebler gas
lamp. If the king is not in residence
the palace itself is dark and closed. The
old houses on those rocky and more dis
tant heights reflect a myriad gleams.
Every window seems IN illumination.
From pleasure gardens on yonder hill
rockets shoot up and break into a thous-
and many-colored balls, dying out like
metcors in the darkness. Smaller fire.
works blaze up for a moment, and in their
turn expire. For it is Sunday night, and.
the Swedes are at their ~favoritc amusc-
ment.
The water is one scene of flashing
lamps, green, red and white. Too dark
to see the steamers, you may trace their
courses by these lights; courses so silent
that the CLEANS seem to possess IL scpa-
rate and independent existence. Gigan-
tic frehics, will-o'-thc- wisps, fitting over
the winding surface of the water. A
scene of cnchantmcnt, beautiful and in
tercsting, only to be rightly viewed and
enjoyed from one of the upper windows
of the Grand Hotel. This alone is worth
a visit to Stockholm; would tempt you
some day to repeat it. Windows open
to the dark blue Summer sky, the i'll
tense heat and glare of the day succeeded
by q restful darkness and u cool, refresh
ing breeze, you may sit and gaze and
muse for hours and never tire. The
scene has neither WEAKNESS nor mopot-
ony.
Before the hotel, on the other side of
the water, under the very shadow of the
palace, are pleasure gardens, with just
sufficient ILLUMINATION to keep your foot
steps from stumbling and permit poor
deludcd mortals to gaze into each others
eyes. Hero crowds sit in the evening
cool, slipping harmless beverages at small
roundt tables, under bowery branches, on
a level with the river, able to watch the
lights of the boats darting to and fro
whilst listening to the music of an or
chestra composed of boys.
These strains are sufficiently distant
not to disturb your mcditations and en-
joyment of the scenes. AS to the gar
dcns themselves, distance lends them
c~nchantmcnt. A closer acquaintance
shows up their atmosphere as frivolous
ard unpleasant, curiosity is quickly salts
fed, and you are glad to escape.

choosing this singular place because oil his
other pictures had been 'tskied" to such an
extent that it was a real pleasure to have
one, ut least, as far AWAY from the cell
ing US possible. He didn't by any means
take kindly to Ariadne's proposition that
he should consider her his niece.
Then her saltatory slave, tho best walt
ger she knew, put in an appearance; and
wouldn't listen to her offer of a second
c~ousinship; nor did her muscular mash,
who could run a mile in five minutes,
and had the largest biceps over seen off a
gorilla, with whom she attended all sorts
of athletic games, wish her to be his
third-cousin, which was all she had to
to give, her stock of relationship being
closed out.
When she was finally left alone, she
reflected bitterly that every source of
amusement and all her best escorts were
lost to her because she had been too fas-
cinating.
The question Eow arose in her mind
whether she was fascinating enough
enough to obtain the long-desired yot
never obtained affections of Alcides Mon
roe. He was sure of a favorable answer
if he proposed, since, as she thought,
there was nothing she could be to him
except his wife without infringing on
the patent of one Of his predecessors.
At this moment he entered, amply pro-
vidcd with many beauty, immense
wealth, splendid talents, and everything
else necessary for the equipment of a first
class, supcr-extra hero.
He made his appearance in great agita-
ton and a new suit, In fact, he was so
very much agitatcd that he had forgot

high ones for u rcady-made article, it
didn't make so much difference.
"Ariadnc, said he, "this is the most

Fair morning is on the harbor,
And morning on the bay,
And the boats that were lying at anchor
Now silently steal away.
No wind in the sails to bear them;
They drift with tho tide afar,
Till they enter the outer harbor
And silently cross tho bar.
1t may be the skipper is sleeping,
He sits ut the rudder so still;
1t may be the skipper is thinking
or his young wife on the hill.
She wastes no moment in signing
With day her labors begin,
Wide open she filings the shutters
To lot the still sunshine in.
She pauses only Nh instant
10 look ut the steel-gray dew,
From that to the rose bush glances,
Where it SPARKS fresh and new.
And down the slope to the harbor,
And over the harbor afar;
For her dear little heart with the skipper
Is just now crossing the bar.
''God bless her" the skipper is saying,
"God bless him." the wife returns,
Thus each for the other is praying,
While each for the other yearns.
