AMERICAN cANNlBALs.
a MissIonary's Strange Stories About the
Hudson Bay Indians.

Hudson Bay Indians.
Rev. E. w. Young, of Toronto, Cam
ada, has been in Washington for
week telling large audiences about the
Indians of the Hudson Bay region.
Having been missionary among these
Indians for twenty years, Mr.. Young
is competent to talk about them. The
Hudson Bay section is like a sealed
book to great many people and Mr..
Young tells some interesting facts. He
penetrated the country for hundreds of
miles, using skiff in summer and a
dog team in winter.
''The Indians of Hudson Bay" said
Mr.. Young to a reporter, ''are very
much like the American Indians in
general appearance. They are not at
all like the Esquimaux. They live in
wigwams and spend their lives hunting
and fishing. Many of them were can
nibals. 1t was their custom also to kill
the aged and decrepit as soon as they
got too old to spare rabbit or catch a
fish
''Were you ever attacked!
THE medicine men and conjurers
were those from which L suffered
most. They made their living by
preying upon the superstitions of the
Indians, and as my teachings neces-
saYily broke up their business they
wanted to kill me-"
s.Hoyv iS tho o1imata thara -
''In the winter it is exceedingly cold,
the thermometer often ranging from
forty to sixty degrees below zero.
This is how we dressed" and Mr..
Young removed from his trunks a
heavy leather coat, made of tanned
moose skins and prettily trimmed with
beads. Attached to the coat was fire
bag, also of leather, in which a flint
and stone were carried. Pants and
moccasins and a heavy beaver skin,
which he said was also used as chest
protector, were also produced.
''But, he continued, lit is not al
ways winter there. About three
months and half in the year, begin
ming at the last of May and continu-
ing until early in September, is beau,
tiful summer. have known the ther
mometer to get up as high as one hun
dred degrees"
''The only white people in the sec
tion," said Mr. Young, are fur traders
and no whisky or alcohol at all is al
lowed to be sold to the Indians. This
is one reason why we have been sue
cessful. Canada has never had an In
! dian war in all its history. Instead o
fighting them we educate them.h Mr.
Young added that there are now be
tween 1000 and 1000 Christian In
dians in the Hudson Bay country

! SONG OF THE TWENTIETH
CENTURY.

She Is sitting BY the parlor CRATE;
The year is nineteen eighty-eight,
and BY the clock It's somewhat late
Say halfpast twenty-five.
she's clad IN fashions latest freak,
A flowing robe made la Greek,
And on her hair. so smooth and sleek,
Is bound flllet blue.
A youth sits by, OF modest mien,
whose blouse is of brilliant green,
And on his face is plainly seen
Hope intermtxed with fear.
They've ohatted on the current news,
Onpolitics have aired their views,
Discussed the new goasuchuse,
Invented by De We're.
At length there comes little pause,
When near her own his chair he draws,
And softly clears his throat, because
Aquestion he would ask.
BE turns the parlor sunshine higher,
Aud pekes again the patent fire,
Theyi boldly makes known his desire
Almost delightful task
Sweet Virgiline," he softly sighs,
spray do not turn away your eyes,
But grant me what much will prize,
And be to me-a sister,"
mo. Reginald, it can not be,
Another has the place you see,
But l will be a wife to thee"
In ectasy he kissed her.

INDOOR ATHLETICS.
How to Keep Up the Muscle and Health
Winter-Time.

How to Keep Up the Muscle and Health In
Winter-TIme.
Cold weather and stormy days pre-
vent most men from taking their ac-
customed exercise during the winter
months. Outdoor sports are abandoned
from necessity. Baseball, cricket, ten
mis-, rowing and athletic sports of track
and ring are impossible, and unless in
door exercise is taken up the muscles
become soft and 1abby, and the general
health of the man suffers.
Young men engaged in Office work
and other confning occupations spe-
cially feel the loss of their summer
sports. How to keep the physical
man in condition from now until the
warm days of spring make outdoor
sports possible, is the thought upper
most in many minds.
If one has room for suitable appara-
tus at home, he should devote half an
hour to vigorous exercise both morn
ing and evening. Lifting machines,
Indian clubs and dumb-bells take up
very little room except when in use
then they should be given wide range.
The variety of movements with the
clubs and dumb-bells that may be
learned, with little instruction, is SO
great that every muscle in the body is
brought into play.
The lifting machine, which consists
of two weights attached to ropes rum
ming over pulleys and lifted by means
of wooden handles at the ends of the
ropes, affords excellent general exer-
else. The motion of rowing, striking,
pulling and lifting may be varied in a
number of ways, and by sitting on a
low stool nd placing the feet in the
handles the legs may be exercised.
If one is a member of an athletic
club where there is a good gymnasium
he will do well to take regular course
of gymnastics, devoting certain
amount of time every day to the work,
Bowling is good exercise for the mus.
cles that it brings into use, but should
not be relied upon for general develop
ment.
An excellent plan for winter exer.
else is to go through a course of box
ing lessons. Sparring is one of the
best forms Of general exercise that car
be followed. It gives work to every
muscle, trains the eye and makes the
boxer agile on his feet and quick with
his hands. Aside from the exercise i
affords, boxing is an accomplishment
| that is of value to every one.-M z
