The Homes OF the Eskimn.

Their homes were cold and cherries in the
extreme, but they had powers of resisting it
that seemed phenominsl and far beyond human
endurance as we have found it limited in our
own zone. / have known one of these cold
weather cavaliers TO take reindeer hide that
had been soaking in the water, and that was
frozen as stiff as plate of boiler-iron, and pull
it against his bare body, holding it there, not
only until it was thawed out, but until it was
perfectly dry. The skin was to be used as
drum-head for singing and dancing exercises,
and had to be dry and hairless to answer that
purpose, the soaking ridding it of the hair,
while there were apparently no other means of
drying it than the heroic method adopted.

San eye for az eye aud tooth for tooth, Z"
said the ancient Hebrews, and Confederate
soldier describes an incident which occurred
during the halt of his regiment st Fort Cliff
ten:
1t occurred to man picketing the river bank
that it would be amusing to take careful aim at
the man on the other side doing the same duty
for the enemy, fire, laugh TO see the fellow
jump and dodge, and then try again. He fired,
laughed, dropped his musket to reload and,
while smiling with satisfaction, heard the
"thnd of bullet and felt an agonizing pain
in his arm.
His musketfell to the ground, and he walked
back to camp with his arm swinging heavily
at his side.
The Surgeon soon relieved him of it alto
gether. The poor fellow learned q lesson. The

1t il Recognition.
LAGfLford Ttnes.l

Lately in conversation with one of the most
brilliant, yet solidly intellectual, women 1t has
ever been my privilege to meet we spoke of the
personal love of praise, appreciation, or apprecia
ton that seems TO be natural to people. She
said that they should not care 80 much
as they do about receiving praise But" I
replied setting aside insincere fattery, which
is easily detected, do you not think that hon
est approval or genuine appreciation judiciousIy
bestowed, either upon children or grown per-
sons, is right when they deserve it2 Does it
not encourage and stimulate the moral and
mental faculties7 1t seems to me that hu-
man beings are, in this respect like flowers.
In order to grow they should be planted in the
right soil and receive the sunshine as we'll as
the rain Appreciation is to an individual
what the sunshine is to a flower" The lady
answered:
catch the thought, and it Is true, but Won
do not use the best word to express it. 1t is
neither praise, appreciation, nor, to put q fine
and correct point upon il, appreciation that
people need. 1t is recognition"

II has been the singular fortune or misfor.
tune for certain Pittsburger in thecourse of by
no means long life, to marry and then lose by
death no less than four wives. During the inter
val between the funeral and hymeneal feasts this
amiable man has relied upon daughter by his
first wife to keep house for him. Three times
in Is years has this dutifnl child taken the
keys of office, and thrice has she laid them
down for new wife of her father to take up.
When the fourth wife died little while ago
she became housekeeper again, and she settled
down in the position in the hope that her father
would be content to remain widower for the
rest of his life She was doomed to dissppoint-
ment.
One day her father came to her and said:
Mary, how would like to have a new nam
map"
She answered quickly: Not at all, papa;
know when have had enough. Four mothers
are more than enough for mel"
The poor man was SO discouraged by this re-
mark that he has not dOnned a wedding gar

The Golden Bose for an American Princess.
I

The golden rose which the Pope Eends this
year to the Princess Isabella regent of Brazil,
has just been completed, and was sent up to
the Vatican two days ago. Contrary to what
has been stated, the vase contains no inscription
alluding to the abolition Of slavery in Brazil,
but only simple inscription, stating that it is
bestowed by the Pope on the Princess with the
date May 3. The design is rose with flowers
and leaves initiated from nature, apparently
growing out of silver-gilt vase. The rose
plant is formed of 22-carst beaten gold. The
chief difference between this and the one
offered last year TO the Queen Regent of Spain
is in the design of the vase. The base is octa-
gonal instead Of circular, and on one of its
facets bears the inscription. Tho handles are
supported by angels, heads.

How q Hedgehog Kills a Serpent,

The Arch de Pharmacic of May describes the
proceeding as follows: The hedgehog cautiously
approached the sleeping reptile and seized the
end of his tail between his teeth. Then he
rolled himself up into compact ball and
awaited developments. The snake, awakened
by the pain, turned upon his enemy and fought
with his fangs. The hedgehog retaining his
hold, allowed himself to be dragged back and
forth during the struggle, and meanwhile the
serpent's jaws had become lacerated and useless
from constant assaults upon the spines of it's
enemy. In few minutes the serpent had be-
come exhausted with his efforts, and the hedge
hog, unrolling himself disembowIed the SER
pent and ate his meal. In this case the hedge
hog does not kill the serpent directly, but
obliges him to kill himself by dashing upon the
sharp spines.

The first practice between the Melbourne
Base Ball Club and members of the Melbourne
Cricket Club took place yesterday on the Mel
bourne cricket ground. There was a good
muster, and two sides we're selected from those
present. After couple of hours play the new
men began to understand the various points of
the game and several good runs were made by
the batsmen, G. s. Ross getting two home runs.
The best catchers were, OF course, the wicket
keepers at cricket. The fielding was very
good, and several catches on the fly were made.

DEAR SIR: Your horizon must have been very

and the private soldier Two OF the State officers
of Kansas and think three, and one of the Judges
of the Supreme Court of that State were private
soldiers in the late war. serving IS such through
an entire term of enlistment. Three Of the seven
Members of Congress from that State entered the
service private soldiers and served such until
near the close of the war, when they were pro-
NOTED. At least two of the District Judges Of Kan
sas were priv6es during the entire period Of their
service 10 the army. There never has been any
distinction made in that State and I do not know
Of any elsewhere between the private and the off
Ger concerning preferment TO office. Il Is safe to
say that at least wo-thirds of the County officers
in Kansas soldiers, and that fully half if not
more Of them, were private soldiers. The Kansas
people have very decided preference for ext Union
soldiers, and fully liable, If not little more
SO, to prefer the private TO the officer. cannot
speak from any extended knowledge of the con-
dtion of things existing elsewhere, but recall now
that private soldier iS running for Governor on
the Republican ticket in Illinois and that another
private soldier Is Treasurer OF that State You may
speak for Ohio but am sure you do not speak for
the rest of tie country AS write recall the fact
that Warner Miller late United States Senator from
New York, entered the service a private soldier
and have no doubt / could find multitudes of in
stances of the preferment of private soldiers for
official place in the history Of all the Northern
States since the war.

Political Work In Oregon.

Concerning the Washington dis
patch stating that the president
would send John Z. Irish, editor of

Fortunately for Mr. Cleveland, his
chosen emissaTy Is not speedy enough

no Is sent TO do-for the same reason
that the old man said his horse could
not trot in 2:20, the distance was too
great for the time. Our eloquent
friend will do all that in him lies,and
angels could do no more, but he can
not persuade the sober-thinking peo-
pie of Oregon that they are being
ruined by having the government of
the United States protect their grow
ing industries. They will decline to
assent to the proposition that a state
having 1,935,O0O sheep, valued at 81
$4,000, can be benefited by a measure
which would bring the cheap wool of
Australia and Argentine Republic
into direct competition with the home
product. They may call the attention
of the free trade orator, If they Will,
to the fact that S5.245,000 sheep-of
South America. are grown and pas
tured on no mans land, whereas their
own must be fed from land having a
money value, and they may ask him
whether it would be fair to them to
permit them to be swamped and
flooded by a tidal wave OF foeign
wool, simply because Mr.. Cleveland
has made an egrpgious mistake as to
the effect of the tariff on the cost of

With Nails on Their Gloves.

OF course there IS absolutely no means
of judging the relative powers Of the
ancicnts and the modcrns in the mobile
art Of self defence" That tho ancients,
especially the Greeks, did box, and that
most sGvagcly, we know. So far from
using gloves to lessen the damaging effects
of their blows, or even from using simply
the power that training and nature had
given to their fists, they increased this by
tying straps of hard bulls hide around
them when clinched, and sometimes even
attached nails and lead buckles to these
to make their blows more deadly.
They also usually, but not always,
fought continuously until one of the com
batants gave in, rounds" apparently,
not being to their taste. But although
there seems to have been this sayaScry
about the contests, it by no means follows
that a scientific boxer" of the present
