The sIyeena Indiana.

The Skeena Indians are described as Of
low stature and degraded morals. They
are all heathens and sturdily refuse to
embrace Christianity. They are wild and
lawless, with no more notion of fairness
than wolf, whose character they exactly
parallel, inasmuch as when they come to
the store alone they are almost vexa-
tiously meek and lowly, but when they
collect in numbers they are loud mouthed
and menacing Their faces consist
mainly of mouth and cheek bones, with
small, fat noses.-Chicago Herald.

Theory of Mind Reading.

The English Society for Psychical Re-

theory called telepathy as an approved
and demonstrated fact. It is unanimously
accepted as the simplest method Of ex-
planning great many psychological

amount Of fraud, these men Of science do
not hesitate to say that it is demonstra-
BILE that mind can act directly on mind,

as is furnished by the body.-Globe.

Method of Appraising Manuscript.

This story is told of a certain Boston
publisher, and it is reproduced as showing
a unique way of appraising literary work:
A gentleman who does much with his pen
in the way of o rather lurid kind of story
writing had frequently disposed of manu-
script to the publisher in question. One
day he entered the Office of the latter with
q story to sell, and handed him the parcel
of manuscript. "Wel, how much for
this7" was asked the author, while the
questioner kept poising the manuscript
on his open palm. Fifty dollars, was
the reply. Fifty dollars2" repeated the
publisher, the rising infection in his voice
denoting surprise; ''why, it's not nearly
so heavy aa the one gave you forty foI

A Chinaman dislikes to say that his

Of the ancients." "He has returned to the
shades" che has taken farewell of the
world" che has gone a long journey, u
are expressions all very frequently used
when speaking Of the dead. The matter
Is not always treated with reverence, how.

lapsed" refers to a dead emperor, and
'the dream is over" means that prince

1t IS an unscientific and a puerile
idea to think of visiting the polar
regions merely to reach the termini OF

explorations will go on because we

world is an organic whole, every part
of which is of equal interest and inn
portance in the study of nature S laws.
The ice bound regions still hold in
their grasp important truths of which
our men of science will some day pos
sess themselves, and which will throw

the circulation of oceanic waters, ice
formations, climatology, terrestrial
magnetism and other phen omena. The

than they cost, to science.
The An tarctic regions will prob
ably be the next field of
polar inquiry, and some steps
to this end have been taken both in
Great Britain and Australia AS the
south polar region is mot, like the
Arctic zone, crowded with islands and
archipelagoes, it is of much more inn
portance in the study of ocean cur

its share of attention, chiefly because
the search for the northwest passage
gave great impetus to Arctic travel,
and also because many of the most inn
portant discoveries in the north polar
regions were made by ship parties
