THE CURIOSITY SHOP.
Theories as to the Eskimo-His Love Of
Home.

Why human beings have beec found liv-
ing In this lone land Of desolation has given
rise TO no little theorizing and speculation,
the bulk of which seems to be that they are
cruelty forced to abide here by the supposed
greater strength Of the savages to the south
of them. Ny own ideas are with the ..re-
spectacle minority" which believes that they
are found in these regions for the same rea-
sons that we find the reindeer, the musk OK
and the walrus; that is, it suits their peculiar
temperament and disposition better than asy
other climate or condition possibly could,
and they are no more forced into the frigid
zone by other savages than the animals
named are held there by the ante
lope. buffalo or caribou Of lower lat
itudes. When they are taken from
their hyperborean home they are as restless
to return as the castaways in their own land
are to get back TO civilization; and, singular
enough, despite all their desolate surround
ings, they are the most happy and contented
race, savage or civilized, in the four corners
Of the earth, although it is the coolest cor
ner. The tale told by Capt. Hall OF the deep
longing of the sick and sinking Eskimo,
Kudlago. TO see his land of ice and snow be-
fore he died, and his joy on being carried to
the deck Of the Arctic bound ship when the
first iceberg was sighted, is as pathetic as any
ever told of the return of Arctic refugees to
their land Of flowers and forests, and clearly
shows that patriotism and love of home is
circumscribed by no parallels of latitude nor
influenced by climatic coaditions.-Lieut.

Lost Atlantis.

The story of the Lost Atlantis" is now
considered to be mythical Plato was the
first TO mention the lost continent; he says
that an Egyptian priest described it to Scion;
it was west of the pillars of Hercules, was
larger than Libya and Asia taken together,
and was peopled bya large population begot
by Neptune OF mortal women. Nine thou
sand years before the time of Plato, at the
end of long war between the Athenians and
the inhabitants of Atlantis, the latter place
was suddenly engulfed by the sea- Some
people consider the Canary islands to be the
remains of the lost Atlantis; others think
that it wasn't really lost, and that vague
idea of the American continent furnished the
basis for the legend. Books have been writ
ten on the subject; by Rudbeck, who died in
1902, "Atlantica," in which he tried to prove
the identity of Atlantis and the Scandina-
Wan peninsula; by Bircherod, "De Orbe
Novo non Novo," 1855; of recent years. by
Martin, ''Etudes sur lie Timee de Platon,n

A TERRIBLE OUTRAGE.
a Brutal Teacher Literally Flags Young
Indian Girl.

ST. PAUL. Dec. S.-A terrible story of
brutal treatment Of crippled Indian girl
by one of the teachers in the government
boarding school at White Earth, has iuse
reached here. Two weeks ago Lizzie Seal,
with a couple of girl companions, after
school hours visited some friends who
lived near the school. IN short time the
janitor came and roughly informed them
that they were wanted at the school imme-
diately. On their arrival there they were
met by the principal, who was very angry.
He carried a walking stick and
at once began TO use it on the
back and shoulders Of the Seal
girl. Her clothing was very
thin and was poor protection against tae
blows OF the enraged teacher, who broke
his cane to pieces on her shoulders After
the beating she crawle,l away to a friends
house where she passed the night and was
later taken to her home. where she has
been confined IN bed ever since Her
father IS dying Of consumption and her
mother i Just recovering from a spell OF
sickness. while the girl is now in very
critical condition. 4 gentleman who in
vcstigated the story found ner on a blau-
ket spread on the floor. her body mass
Of sores. In many places the skin was
still raw from the effects OF the beating
The injured girl Will probably be unable TO
survive the assault and her friends are

Letter Boxes of New York,

AS we walked from one OF the Sixth avenue
stations to the restaurant where l was to
have my first square American NEAL
noticed how different the letter boxes are
from the purple red pillars Of England, re-
minding one of Tommy Atkins on guard at
street corners. They are dark green and
small, and are fastened to street lamp posts
They are so Insignificant that probably
should not have noticed them but for the
marvellous ornaments they each and all
wore These were ornaments in true sense
of the word, being proofs of the trustworthi-
ness Of the community those boxed served.
They were bundles Of papers, pamphlets, and
even books, too bulky to be forced into the
aperture for letters, therefore left there on
the top Of the box, in full view and open ex-
posure to every passerby, till the postman
should make his next round
This is common practice all over America,
that is, in cities. Every Christmas time since
then l have been amazed to see how thor
oughly the American public is trusted
Every Christmas, often at other times the
letter boxes are filled high with packages of
all sizes and shapes, awaiting the postman.
Every one of them had Christmas look, and
even the postage stamps on them would
tempt dozens of street arabs, one would think.
If any are stolen never heard of it, and the
practice is so general as to attract no atten-
ton Once at the corner of Sixth avenue
ard Twentieth street l saw Sudden gust Of
wind send half dozen of these packages
flying. Every passer by put himself in pur-
suit, but he who caught the most of them
was the peanut vendor whose stand is at that
corner.
That opportunity is not lacking to steal is
proved by the number Of times / have paused

Sugar in WatermeIons,

According to the report Of the commits
sioner of agriculture for 1856, it appears that
there was considerable inquiry in that year
concerning the possibility of making sugar
from watermelons, and the chemist of the
department made an analysis with view to
ascertaining the quantity Of crystallizable
sugar i'll this fruit. The result of a number
of analyses showed that in 40 case could
watermelons be used for the manufacture OF
crystallized sugar. The highest percentage
of sucrose found in asy case was 4 10 The
mean OF the whole number of analyses OF
sucrose was 1.92. If our readers viii refer
to the report alluded to, pages $40, 3i6, ;l7,

ton on this subject.

TIE PRESIDENT ELECT.

INDIANAPOLIS, Dec. S.-The president
elect pas sed another quiet day in his Ii
brary. About noon General Harrison
came down town and visited his law office
for half an hour or more.
The most prominen out of town caller
today was Col. w. Crooks. of Philadelphia,
an Old personal friend of Rev. NJ. II.
Haines, General Harrison's pastor and
also a warm friend and admirer of Hon.
Wharton Barker, the distinguished Phila-
delphia banker and publisher Colonel
Crooks visited General Harrison in COM
pany with delegation OF prominent Irish
Americans from Chicago. These gentle
men are all strong advocates of " aarton
Barker for a cabinet position. The meet
ing of Colonel Crooks with the Chicago
delegation is declared by both parties
TO be purely accidental, as Mr.. Crooks
arrived IN the city yesterday. The pri-
mary object Of the visit of the Chicago
delegation was to bring to the attention
of the president-elect the project OF en-
couraging and permanently continuing
the educational work on the tariff set on
foot during the late campaign. Major
Seaman, In speaking upon this subject
this evening, said: We feel that the ad-
mlnistration ought to give encourage
ment to educational work on the tariff in
large cities and we have come to urge con
sideratlon of the matter. We have been
engaged in promoting tariff education
among the Irish-American citizens and
have such convincing proof of the good
results OF the work that we believe it
ought TO be continued

CCLD-BLO0DBD MURDER.
An Arkansas Youth Blows OF the Top Of
His Enemys Head.

ST. LOUIS Dec. 8-The Republics Tex
arkana, Ark, special says: One of the
most sensational and deplorable murders
that ever occurred in this section was per-
petrated at this place at ) o'clock this eve
ming, a son of 4. T. Spear killing ex-Nayor
Beidler on the street. Four years ago Mr.
separated from his wife, charging her with
criminal intimacy with A. L. Spear. Spear
denied the charge but was very intimate
with the woman. Six months ago Mrs.
Beidler died, and Beidler set an ugly
report afioat about Spear having
been the indirect cause OF her death.
Beidler threatened to have her body disin-
TERED and an autopsy held and so an
nounced it in the morning papers. This
so enraged the elder Spear that he assailed
Beidler and gave him a terrible beating
with Il club. Later in the day Beidler re-
taliated by giving Spear fearful beating.
A short time afterwards as Beidler was
walking leisurely UP the street the 19-year-
old son of Spears walked up to him, placed
shotgun behind his ear and blew the top
of MS head off. Young Spear is in Jail
but his father cannot be found.
