A FUNNY EPISODE.
An Esquimau Medicine Mans Astonish-

An Esquimau Medicine Mans Astonish-
ment and Fright.
There was another episode which
these peculiar people seemed to eonsid-
er as a huge joke, whfh [ will explain
as briefly as possible, to show what the
native people conside as funny in the
frigid zones, One Of the Esquimau
men had peculiarly disfigured face,
to which he pointed 50 often that one Of
the party was fnallyled to ask him the
cause. He most cherfully assented to
explain, amidst the grns and suppressed
laughter of the Others. When he was a
young boy he was one of a small band
of natives that came lpon the remains
of one Of Sir John Flanklin's unfortu-
nate parties, that had starved to death,
and they found many curious things
among the scattered material at the.
site of the sad scene. One, which i'm
mediately took his boyish eye, was a
flattened can that he found, full of
"black sand" as he expressed it. The
"black sand" was of no possible
use to him, and, on the first occasion he
had to utilize the can, which was one
winter evening. when he was sitting
by the lamp in his snow-house, he
poured this useless material out on
the platform of snow that held the lamp,
and in doing so some of it splashed in
the flame. There was an instantaneous
explosion, which he tried to explain by
yelling "boom," until | thought the
top of my head had been knocked off,
and when some of the shock had passed
away he found that the top of his snow
hut had disappeared in the dark night,
the stone lamp was broken into pieces,
and the kitchen utensils and parIor.
furniture all mixed up. He was amedi-
cine man of the tribe-that is, one sup
posed to cure sickness by magic, mean
tations, etc. and at the time the pow
der-can exploded patient was visiting
him, who disappeared in the confusion,
and his whereabouts was not known
for month or two afterward, when he
turned up in another tribe farther south,
whose doctors, he claimed, were not
of such pyrotechnic school of medi-
cine. The medicine man said that his
own nervous system was badly shat
tered for a long time, and his hands and
face were fearfully SCARED as evidence
of his story, but if his appetite was at
all injured he had more than fully re-
covered, for ne was the most enormous
eater savage or civilized. that ever
saw in my life, and could easily dis
pose of a reindeer ham at lunch, when
ever he came around to repeat his
story, which was altogether too fire.

consented should seek my fortune.
My boy, she said, 4 don't know any

me you'll never drink drop of liquor.
He said: / laid my hands in hers and

UNREST.
Jas. A. HAYDEN, Publisher

The farther you journey and wander
From the sweet simple faith of your youth,
The more you peer into the Yonder
And search for the root OF all truth,
No matter what secrets uncover
Their vailed mystic brows in your quest,
Or close on your astral sight hover,
Still, still shall you walk with unrest
If you seek for strange things you shall find
them,
But the finding shah bring you to grief;
The dead lock the portals behind them,
And he who breaks through is thief.
The soul with such ill-gotten plumber
With its premature knowledge oppressed,
Shall grope in unsatisfed wonder
Away by the shores of unrest. "a
Though bold hands lift up the thin curtain
That hides the unknown from our sight;
Though a shadowy faith becomes certain
OF the new life that follows deaths night;
Though miracles past comprehending
Shall startle the heart in your breast,
Still, still will your thirst be unending,
And your soul will be sad with unrest,
There are truths too sublime and too holy
To grasp with a mortal minds touch. al
We are happier far to be lowly; a
Content means not knowing too much.
Peace dwells not with hearts that are yearninG
To fathom all labyrnths unguessed,
And the soul that is bent on vast learning
Shall find with its knowledge-unrest.

all of the two lost children. An that
night, exhausted as she was she
scarcely slept. o, if she had but
watched them more closely! So she re-
preached herself. while to every one
else it seemed little less than miracle
that she had been able to save so many
of her charges.
1t was nearly three days before the
wind died away, so that word could be
taken to poor, widowed Mrs. Wood.
She had feared the worst, yet the news
came with crushing force; for however
much we may expect death, we are
never prepared for its actual presence.
For weeks she found herself often look
ing out of the window, half expecting
to see Mary and Willie coming home
again after school.
The whole neighborhood turned out.
as soon as the storm was over, and
worked day after day, shoveling over
the snow. But all proved in vain, and
it was not till spring that the little
bodies were found, buried under one of
the largest drifts, several rods from the
road. Evidently the children had lost
their hold on the others while crossing
the little brook, and the wind had car
ried them down the bed of therun and
lodged them against steep bank in
the field, where the snow soon packed
its cold and pitiless weight upon them.
