The aboriginals of Kamschatka are
kamschatdales and kOriaks; but little
is known Of their origin, and both have
decreased IN numbers since the Russian
occupation The country is now chiefly
peOpled by Siberian, Russians, and by
a race the product of inter-marriage
between them and the aboriginal KAN
schatdqlea- The new race It is usual
to distinguish as Kamschatdales and
a greedy, disagreeable kind Of people
they seem to be. They are of a low
order, and live In summer either in
Wretehed huts by the river banks. or IN
lofts above the sheds in which they
hang their fish. In winter they have
aemi-subterranean dwellings, Their
habits aud Diet aEs~G1ke filthy: and
chen notions oil honesty meager. The
lEa Aamsehatdales, on the other
hands appear to be a kindly and hOspi-
table people The houses of the better
class of natives of Russian blood are
usually log built, implanted, containing
usually two, aud sometimes, but
rarely, four rooms, in which VIII be
found a few chairs, a rough deal table

church, and any number OF cOckroaches
and uncomfortable insects The houses
are in many places raised above the
ground, either upon stones, like hay
stacks, or upon low wooden pillars.
The floors are boarded, and the house
is warmed by means of a hugh brick
stove built in between the room, which
develops immense heat The diet of

The Element Of Destiny.

One might roughly indicate the diff
ferences between ordinary men and men
of eminent mark by referring to their
relative possession of a consciousness Of
destiny. So often has q sense of being
set apart and devoted to something ac-
companied great capacity that it would
seem to be a natural and legitimate
help to the carrying out Of any arduOus
undertaking. SchOpenhauer declares
that no one can be blind to his own
merit, any more than the man who Is
SIX feet high can remain ignorant Of the
fact that he towers above his fellows.
He notes the pride with which Horace,
Lucretius, Ovid, Dante, Shakespeare,
and Bacon have spoken of themselves,
and quotes the Englishman who wittily
observed that merit and mOdesty have
nothing in common except the initial
letter. a have always a suspicion about
modest celebrities, he adds, chat they
may be right Goethe has frankly
said, Only gOOd-for-nOthings are mod
est 81"
Certainly. the great German himself
came we'll within the limits of his own
estimate of worth, for no one would
ever think Of accusing him of being
without personal poise and absolute
confidence in the powers which intiu-
euce human success. 81 begin with
| this, he told his mother as a small boy;

self IN far other wavs." The 1act Is
that as long as he lived Goethe believed
| in oracles, and was AZ willing as Rous-
| seau to trust his fortunes to the merest
| process of chance. Rousseau was to be
saved in the other world if the stone he
/ threw hit the tree at which it was aimed,
and had Goethe caught the plunge Of
I the valuable pocket knife which he
| tossed into the river Lain from behind
/ the bushes where he stood, he might
I have become q painter instead of a poet.

/ the ends OF all men, but only the ex-
/ ceptiOnal individual seems at all con-
! sciOus of the fact, or in the way of turn

relying upon it in daily life.
! Thus it comes about that demonic
men, men of a definite bent and direc-
/ ton which they cannot resist, are given
/ to trusting more than those whose
/ standpoint is merely personal and com
mOnplace. Greene, the historian, tells
us that Elizabeth had, as all strong
natures have, an unbOunded confidence
in her luck" "Her Majesty counts
much on Fortune, Walsingham wrote
] bitterly; 81 wish she would trust more
In Almighty God. Lincoln never for
an instant doubted that he was formed
for some great or miserable end" and
freely talked about the impression 10
this effect which had been with him all
his life, and which after the year 1916
assumed the character Of positive con-
victiOn. His biographer asserts that
this presentiment was as clear and Ger
tain as any image conveyed hy the
senses. @The star under which he wa,
born was at once brilliant and malign

to divert it in the minutest particular
than he had to reverse the law Of grav

Rear Admiral Ammen has proposed
to the Secretary of the Navy a plan for
the rescue Of shipwrecked passengers
1t consists of the construction of what
Is called a balsa, or a float The Rea-
Admiral proposes that in the event of
the abandonment Of a vessel at sea the
balsas could be used in q sea so rough
that ordinary boats could not be utiI-
lied, and he suggests the following
method Of launching them: "The head
sail should be hoisted so as TO bring
the wind quarterly; oil bags would be
thrown over from each quarter. The
railing at the stern fitted for unship-
ping would be let down, and launching
skids put in place and a balsa carried
aft by eight men and lowered with four
on It Then a rough car to fit in the
skids would be loaded with the helpless
persons and lowered to the balsa, be
received and placed, and the operation
continued until the boat had her load (:
then she would be cast adrift, make a
drag of her mast and sail, throw over
board her oil bag, and the same opera
ton would be repeated until every one
was embarked Then they should
fasten to each other IN sections Of five. %
The Admiral, in letter to Secretary
Whitney, asks that the department CON
struct balsa and subject it to practical
tests in all kinds Of weather. The
balsa consists Of two casks. upon which

During a visit to Hawarden, Mr..
Willis, while In the library, said that
he had promised his wife to try and
induce Mr.. Gladstone to part with a
Walking-stick, that he might cerry it of
as a souvenir of the day. The great
chief smiled, and, going to a corner,
produced a thick, serViceable baton.

been stolen" a don't know as to that,
sir, Numbered the photographer.
Consider the temptation it must have
been. 1t Is the only piece Of timber on

the great Sam with his Joke that it re-

Mrs. Gladstone was dispatched to bring

They were given to me. I cannot give
away what were given to me. Mrs.
Gladstone explained that they were
only brought for inspection as curiOsi-
ties, and that more sticks were coming.
Meanwhile we inspected those
brought. One Of them, of a light
colOred wood, consisted of curious
coils and cOnvolutiOns, and looked like
the emblem associated with Hlsculap-
JUS, the son of Apollo and COronis,
whom ChirOn taught the art Of heal
ing; or like the caduceus of Hermes.
Another was carved like a Gothic scep-
ter, and, turning it about, I read aloud
the legend that ran tWining around its
length, Home Rule for Scotland.
This arrested Mr.. GladstOne's atten-
ton, and he slowly re-read it. 81 ell,
he at length observed, whatever the
Scotch make up their mind to ask for
they viii get. =" And then he added
But I don't think they viii want much.
By this time other sticks were brought,
but, if possible, still more grOtesque.
One looked as if it had tumbled down
and broken its knee, which had reset
itself with the most hideOus exeres-
/ cences. @NO, mol" cried our host; mot

Arab chlIarrn ami Ihsir Gamss.

If the little Arabs are heather. they
are at least picturesque heather In
their colorsd clothing, with their dusky
skins. their black eyes, and their 1.-THE,
active bodies, they are very pictur-
esque. But it must be confessed, they
appear best at distance; for soap l.
not so fashionable among them rs might
Justly be expected from the people Of a
country which manufactures the most
cleansing soap in the world. In watch
ing the children at play, one soon no
tees that the girls do not always have
a good time. Arab boys are not trained
to be gentlemanly and courteous to
their sisters, although they treat their
elders with a delightful Difference and
respect. Little girls in the East are
never welcome. When a baby is born,
if it be a girl "the threshold mourns
forty days" So, in taking a glimpse
at the amusements of the Arab chill
dren. We must be prepared to find that
they are chiefly boys games, in which
the girls seldom participate.
A little boy in America asked per
son who had lived in Syria if the boys
there ever played baseball; and on
earning that they did not, he said,
well, they can't have much fun there. "
It is very natural for the children OF
any country to imagine that the children
in other countries amuse themselves
IN the same ways. Aud the number
Of games that are in reality universal
among children in all countries Is really
remarkable For example, the AraI
chill lren often play blind-man' s-buh
(they call it gAtlHmaida) and Ji.
EoiUaia or puss-in-the-corner. and &
game like button, button, who has the
button?" (Which they play with a peb.

giHsh or marbles. But there are Other

Pinehing ParsimOny,

If is we'll and right to be economical,
for economy is at the base of saving
and comfort and independence. Many
d housewife has wasted the substance
Of her husbands clearings, and many
another one has been the means of en-
abling him, perhaps forcing him, to
lay by something for a rainy day. The
pride of the thrifty housewife who
boasts that nothing Is lost under her
administration of domestic expenditure
and consumption, is familiar to all
Every scrap and shred is utilized by
her, and she rivals the inventiveness Of
manufacturers in converting wastes
into serViceable use. Poor, hard
working men owe it to their wives
economy that their little homes are
their own; while others struggle along
hopelessly in the effort to get a home,
against the extravagances Of their
wives.
But economy is not pinching parsi-
mOny. Make no mistake about this
The good housewife who Is doing her
best to make both ends meet and, if
possible, to save a little out of her hus-
bands earnings, is not to be COMPOUNDED
with the one who Is endeaYOring to
pinch something out of the existence
Of her family and herself. The one
will keep her family well, but not
waste; the other viii try to prevent
goodness from going into life.
An old man worth $4,000 was de-
clining IN weakness to the grave, and
had been ordered by his physician to
take Il little wine. "Ihis Is rich living
for me, " he said regretfully, as he was
slipping the wine and eating a cracker;
and he made sure that not a drop re-
voa=1aa IN tina GLASS he lost Hara
was an economical spirit turned into
parsimony; and a life that had been
industrious and useful, was no doubt
prematurely ended by its pinching
character.
Savings made at the expense Of
starving the body and mind are too
dearly bought They may be Of serv-
ice to children and their posterity, but
the sacrifice that creates them has no
defense.
There was a time when parsimony
did not look as bad AS 1t now does. 1t
had almost an excuse IN a day Of scar
city and poverty, Of high prices and
small earnings. But the people who
need to resort TO absolute parsimOny
nowadays are few, and those people
are usually the most Wasteful and, con-
sidering their means, the most extrav-
agant. The day of comfOEe and luxury
has come to most people who would
avail themselves Of it
A Dinched-up existence Is hardly an
apology for keeping soul and body to-
gether, and a person who pinches his
BODY and soul not only acts like tres
Dasser upon the domain Of life, but by
his conduct endeavOrs to make himself
a trespasser. - Good Housekeeping.
