Tho Bible in the Frozen North.

At Norway House, on a certain occa- sion, says Mir. Egerton Young, mission ary of the Canada Methodist Church there, q number of Indians came into my room, noiselessly, after their fashion, so that the room was filled with them before I knew it. When I became aware of thelr presence asked whence they were ''From journey of four teen nights" they replied, for they reckon distance by the number of nights they are delayed to sleep.
 "We have got the Kessenaychen the Great Book, but we don't understand it, although we can read it." I thought they were joking, for the Indians can not read unless some one has taught them, and I knew from their account they must live far away from any mis- sionary; but asked them: "From what missionary did you learn2" "We never saw missionary nor teacher" took down from my shelf our Bible, printed Tn the beautiful syllable character of the Cree language, and opened to Gene sis; they read it with ease and correct ness. I turned the pages, and they read in many places.
 was amazed, and asked them again where they lived. They described it to me. It was far away, north of Hudson's s Bay, hundreds of miles from any mis- sionary. Their hunting grounds, it seems, adjoin those of some Christian Indians-they cover great distances in hunting-and, continued my visit ors, ''We visited your Indians and found that they had the Kessenaychen. We got them to read it and then to teach it to us, and we were so pleased with it that we all learned to read it during the winter"
 Every soul in village of 300 popula- tion had thus actually learned to read the Bible without ever having seen any white teacher; and having providential- ly come into possession of some copies that happened to be in the hands of the Hudson Bay Company's agents, these heathen Indians had journeyed through the snows fourteen nights dis stance, that to them might be given instruction in the book they had thus learned to love.

The Two Poets.

 'T would not weight" one poet said, 1.-The wing of Fancy soaring high Up the blue dome of boundless sky; Or part the downy plumage spread Above her breast even by strand Of silken service, wrapping there To send across the summer land, Suci mes ages through the golden air As humber pinions deign to bear. My realm is Baauty's large domain; My service, Art for Arts pure sake That does not ask, and will not take The low rewards of use or gain That owns no duty in song No Epic call that shall avail To urge tho right or chide the wrong, Or hearten hope when hope would fail I sing as sings the nightingale" 'If through my verse" another sang, IA throb is felt, whose human beat Reveals a purpose, strong and sweet To anodyne some deadly pang Or help some halting soul to reach Firm foothold on the path that leads Starward, through what my verse may
 teach, Or heal the hurt that inward blesds Or spur some life to loftier deeds II leave content the rarer height Of Art to such ethereal souls As Beauty's finer air infolds In atmospheres too keen of light For earth-born vision. While they soar, Let me keep warm within my breast The heart throb-and I ask no morep Men pra sed the Poet; for the rest God loved the lowlier singer best.

Love Me

AOVc VuCs I wander through the blooming woods Where no unhallowed thought intrudes And song and sunshine fall in floods; hear among the budding trees Contentment signing in the breeze,
 And even the winds reprove me, For crying out mid scenes like these,
 'Love mel Love me! Love mer 1mingle with, yet walk apart, The crowds that throng the busy mart And silent bear my breaking heart And live-Oh, hfel with pain replete So sweetly sad, so sadly sweet,
 With only one hope to move me, These echoing heart throbs still repeat
 sLove mel Love me! Love mer The pinions of the day are furled And night enshrouds the sleeping world, But still, like restless pillows hurled Upon the shore; my spirit flies. From star to star with weary eyes
 Through the pitying skies above me And in it's hopeless anguish cries.
 'Love mel Love me! Love mep' -M. M. Folsom in Atlanta Constitution

One of the curious results of the work on the Panama Canal is the change in the climate of Panama and Acapulco. The tall trees on the heights of Calebra formerly shut off all wind from the Pan- anna side of the isthmus. Now these trees are all cut down and 60 feet of the mountain top has been sliced off. Hence the northeast trade winds of the Atlantic sweep across through this cut and do much to mitigate the heat of Panama. With the canal cut down to the original plan Panama might become fairly healthy place.

That Monster, the Dakota Grasshoppe

That Monster, the Dakota GrasshOpper.
 The Dakota grasshopper is not be- guiling insect, he is monster of in- iquity if we believe the local reports, and his ways of doing quite pass the or dinary understanding. He does not swoop down and eat everything before him and then go on his way. Not a bit of it. He starts for a given point, and nothing turns him but the wind. Being unable to fly against that he drops to the earth and waits, and wheat fields covering the greater part of the earth in that country, he generally waits on one of them. He does this in swarms of million or more, and should the wind detain him for more than a couple of days, having eaten as much as he could find, he takes to breeding and flies away leaving innumerable eggs buried in the ground, in hole made by digging with the tail. The first warm day after this and the eggs are hatched and all the field becomes a moving mass of insects. In forty eight hours they have grown sufficiently to take whole grain at mouthful. To catch these exasperating creatures is no easy task. An open tin pan is driven across the field. The grasshopper always jumps back at everything he sees approaching and in this way he is caught in the pan and held by net. In hundred yards a man catches barrel of them, and leaves as many behind him. Commer- cial Advertiser.

The London Times and Chambers Journal have been figuring out the per centage of profits to capitalists, work men and Government in England, France and the United States. According to their calculations in England out of every $100 56 per cent goes to the laborer, 21 per cent to the capitalist and 23 per cent to the Government. In France Al per cent goes to the laborer, 36 per cent to the capitalist and 23 per cent to the Government. In the United States 72 per cent, they say, goes to the laborer, 23 per cent to the capitalist and the Government secures 4 per cent.

The Dakota "Rustlcr."

The Dakota "rustler' is the direct product of the blizzard. aHc moves with a quick, resistless force. He does not rest for sleep or food. He knows no weariness of the flesh. He has no doubts or fears. He believes, and he is an in- spirer of faith He will build hotel of 300 rooms on a street-motor railway on the blank prairie and wait for town to grow up around it. Tho town always comes, if he be genuine rustler.
 You can't tell by his looks, nor by the cut of his clothes. His grammar is often added, and he makes bib of his nap kin at table. But when he turns himself loose upon project with money in it the project projects. It looms. It yawns. He keeps it ever in the way of your eyes, and before you know it you begin to see rain bows around it.
 He cares nothing for money after it is made. Ask, and it is given you. Tell him tale of woe, and out comes his purse. He would mouldcr in week behind desk or in q countin groom. He is always on tho lope. Today, he is getting options on corner lots in Pierre; tomorrow, he is building mills at Tank ton. Then hc is off 10 St. Paul bull dozing "Jim" Hill for more railroads, or off to New York placing the stock of Q new loan and trust company. He is interested in everything. He lets no enterprise escape him. They'll all pay, he says, or all "bust." There is no middle liuc out therc,

How the President Spends His Day.

How the President Spends His Day.
 The President divides his time so a to have ample opportunity for rest, re- ere ,tion and work. He generally rises about 7 o'clock in the morning and breakfasts with his family at S30 o'clock. He usually leaves the building by the south door and indu,ges in a stroll of half an hour about the grounds south of the mansion. He then returns to his office and by 9. 30 o'clock is en. gagged in looking over papers and ar. ranging his work for the day. At Il o'clock Senators and Representatives be- gin to arrive and they are received with the utmost courtesy, patience and con. sideration.'
 At o'clock the President, except on cabinet days, descends to the east room, where he always finds hundreds of per- sons, men and women, who are stran- gers in the city, waiting to pay their respects. After dispersing this crowd with many pleasant remarks, he takes his luncheon and then returns to his of flee, where he begins the real work of the day, undisturbed by callers, except by special appointments, as these three hours are devoted to audiences granted to cabinet ministers to submit the busi- ness of their departments and receive directions. At 5 o'clock he usually takes long walk in the northwestern section of the city, or drive with Mrs. Harrison and the ladies of his family.
 At 7.30 o'clock the President joins Mrs. Harrison and the ladies at dinner in the family dining room. Frequently he invites some friend or official whom he desires to meet in the less respected and more leisurely surroundings of informal hospitality. Later in the evening the President passes his time with his family, or receives visitors who are entitled to call socially.-Ptts6urg Commercial Gazette.

A New Surgical Triumph.

A small tumor was removed from an important nerve in a patients arm, and in the course of the operation some of the nerve itself was taken away; this was naturally followed by loss of sensa- tion In the part of the skin to which the nerve was distributed. After forty eight hours the surgeon, having obtain ed a piece of healthy nerve from a leg which had just been amputated, pro- ceeded to restore the continuity of his patients nerve with the borrowed piece of tissue. The result was that sensation returned in thirty-six hours, and there was every prospect of complete recoy- cry. -Aanchsster (Eag.) Guardian.

In the United States there is question which is constantly pressing itself, and which is never solved, and that is, Shall the railroads build up the country, or the country the railroads2 To put it in a little different form, Is it the better policy to build railroad through new country and trust to the effect of rail- road building to settle up the country through which it passes, or to wait until the country has settled up of itself and demands railroad2

Diagnosing Disease by the Hair.

A Plttsburg doctor says he can diag- nose ailments by examining single hair of the patient. Two young men as a joke, took him hair from bay horse. The doctor wrote prescription and said his fee was $25 as the case was pre- carious. They were staggered but paid the fee, and after they got out laughed all the way to the apothecary's. The latter took the prescription and read in amazement: "One bushel of oats, four quarts of water, stir we'll, and give three tines day-and turn the animal out to grass" Then the jokers stopped laugh ing.

The situation in Oklahoma is another evidence of the truth of the saying that human nature is never satisfied Men rush into the new territory and compel their families to undergo the severest hardships, fight and slay each other, to find after all that they were better situ- ated in the old place.

According to the French astronomer

According to the French astronomer, the cooling of the terrestrial crust ap parently goes on more rapidly under the sea than with land surface. From this he argues that the crust must thicken under oceans at much more rapid rate, SO as to give rise to a swelling up and distortion of the thinner portions of the crust that is forming mountain chains.

Grant. mere Is every reason why, when
there is a death in family, some clear
headed member of that family should go to
the undertaken and make all the requisite
arrangements, and ascertain precisely
what the funeral is going to cost. People
who intend TO pay are more apt TO do this.
People who do not intend to pay are likely
TO order every thing in lavish style In
some instances the undertaken can collect
from mans estate, but in many he does
not collect at all.
Sometimes people promise to pay on the
day of the funeral, and then, when all the
arrangements are made, they refuse to pay.
Not long ago an east side undertaken
stopped the funeral. took the body out, and
walked of with the casket under his arm.
But it brought such a storm about his ears
that it ruined his business. Much more
successful was the action of another under
taker who had been earnestly promised
that his bill would be paid before the funeral
left the house in the morning. When all
was ready to start the undertaken asked
for his pay according to agreement The
person who refused 1T said, tauntingly;
"You can't help yourself; if you stop this
funeral it will ruin your business"
Good morning." said the undertaken,
rneekly, as he walked off. And he didn't 90
to his place Of business until nine O'clock p
N. Then he found the relatives of the
deceased meehty awaiting his arrival and
anxious to pay their bill. They had gone to
the cemetery, but they had to postpone
the funeral because he had the burial per-
nit in his pocket
There are about five thousand varieties of
handles made for burial caskets. The
latest are covered with plush or cloth the
color of the casket. Different fashions pre-
vail in different localities. In Philadelphia
they have an odd custom of using coffin
with sort OF gable roof

Not tenderest song Of nightingale.
Nor sparkling thrill and gurgling gush;
Nor brilliant pipe of notified quail,
Or Joy from velvet-throated thrush;
Nor tunetul plant Of whip poor-wiu

And yet her song is only this:
love you. mamma then, a kiss.
