OVERCOME BY GRIEF.

The widow called at the Morgue during
the afternoon, and was so overcome with
grief that the attaches refused to permit
her to view the remains, fearing the shock
upon her system. So COroner's jury was
called in to view the body, after which it
was turned over to an undertaken.
Mrs. Coleman moaned pteOusly as she
sobbed, "He was crazy; be was mad. !"
Then she told how sick he had been with
fever few months ago, and how anxious
he was to return to work before he had
fully regained his strength. She pleaded
with him not TO work so hard. but he de-
clRred that he was we'll and strong and
continued his aIduous labOrs. He was in
no way financially embarrassed and his
widow could give no reason tor his suicide,
except temporary insanity caused by an
overstraiuing of his shattered system.

young sister-in-law worried him consider

HOW ESOUIMAUx LIVE.
All Their Means of Existence Combined in
One Animal.

One Animal.
While you are reading this paper
the snowfalxes are falling noiselessly
over the vast white wastes of the
frozen north In that bleak and DESC
late country live the Esquimaux-
A people who live neither by agri-
culture nor the pasturage of sheep and
cattle, nor yet, properly speaking, by
the chase as the chase is ordinarily
understood; people who have for food
neither beef, mutton nor pork, neither
fruit, bread nor vegetables, neither
sugar nor salt, who have for drink
neither tea, coffee, wine, beer nor
spirits of any kind; for clothing, neither
silk, cotton, faxen nor wooden stuffs;
who have neither iron nor steel nor
lead nor copper nor gold nor pottery,
who have for fuel neither wood nor
coal nor peat-such n people are the
Esquimaux, or, as they call them
selves, the ''Innuits" of the arctic.
1t seems at first sight impossib BILE
that men should live amid such condi-
tions. The things enumerated appear
TO include all the possibilities of food,
clothing and fire found on the earth;
and the question unconsciously arises
to our lips: Can people, then, live
without either of these three first
necessities of life-food, clothing and
fire?"
But the Innuits, deprived literally of
everything which in our cline makes
life possible have nevertheless found
in the world they have chosen, or into
L.. a.
means of existence in a very different
shape from that in which they abound
in our southern cline.
They have found them all-food, fire,
light, clothing, arms, implements,
everything in one single an
imal.-Interior.

Americas Great Inland Ocean.

Did you ever compare Hudson bay
with other and lesser bodies of water
and land? fyou never did, and will take
the trouble to do so, you cannot help
uttering exclamations of amazement
when the immensity of this great in
land ocean dawns upon your under
standing. From Fury strait on the
north to the most southern indentation
at the mouth of Abbitibbe river it is
exactly 1880 miles, while the width
from Buttons bay to the mouth of the
Whale river is but little under seven
hundred miles. 1t is as long as the first
Atlantic cable and nearly as wide as
the combined lengths of lakes Huron,
Erie and Ontario. 1t extends over
twelve degrees of latitude and covers
not less than half million square
miles, including more territory within
its limits than can be found within the
borders of Great Britain and Ireland,
Sweden, Norway, Greece, Switzerland,
Denmark, The Netherlands and Bel
gium combined. 1t drains three mil
lion square miles of territory, receives
rivers from the Rocky mountains,
Labrador, the Arctic regions and some
which have their source almost within
the limits of the United States.

PROTECT THE PIGS.
How Many Promising Young Animals Ar
Ruined by Their Owners.

When only the scrub hog was bred
upon our farms we did not give the
care that the improved pig must have,
because he did not seem to require it
Nor did he, because he had n thick
hide and over this heavy coat of hair.
But. in carrying on our improvements,
we have thiaacl the hide and in some
cases almost entirely brcd the hair off,
breeding in fat instead. When we add
to these changes the artificial habits
under which we keep our breeding
stock-artiIiciai rs compared to the
habits of the swine of forty years ago
it will be wise TO consider the young
pigs-thc product of this artificial
state-as requiring special care and
protection from the time they are far
rowed till IA J are pretty well grown.
1t is an errsr to suppose that sum-
mcr rain is not .,ar.aful to pigs. Many
farmers acting under this error permit
their wcanlings to nest in the fence
corners upon the bare earth-very wet
earth after a rainstorm. No matter
what season of the year this is in, even
midsummer, pigs will pile upon each
other under such circumstances, get
overheated. take cold, cough, and
wheezc as though it were December or
March. This irritation of the air pas
sages being commenced during the
summer and fall, paves the way for a
continued irritation of the air passages
during the winter. barring out all hopes
of thrift. The summer and fall seasons
are especially well calculated for build
ing the system up to meet the trials Of
the cold season close ut hand; but neg
lect of the kind pointed out bars all
chance for hardness and healthy
growth. The weanling that contracts
n severe cold in summer had better be
dispatched and put under the sod, as
the chances will be against his paying
for the feed and nursing he will re-
quire during the winter.
In addition to trouble in the breath
ing apparatus, stiffness of muscles may
set in accompanied by rheumatic pain.
The breeder of experience is presumed
to have often enough seen the various re-
suits that come of exposure to wet and
chilly nights not to require any word
of caution as he has long since learned
that the high bred pig is not so hardy
as the more recent descendant of the
wild woods hog of history Not only
do we meet with lung trouble and
rheumatic pains as stated, but infiam-
nation of the eyes is engcndered by
exposure in summer. Especially Is
this true when pigs arc permitted to
sleep upon n manure pile. Ammonia
engcndered in manure is particularly
irritating to the eyes. It's power may
be better understood when we consider
its effects upon the glass windows of
stables where manure and urine have
accumulated. The writer remembers
the entire destruction of valuable
herd of BerlSshires from sleeping upon
n manure pie. IL allowed to select for,
himself, no pig will select a wet nest,
but he will, on the other hand, carry
straw or other dry litter quite dis
tance, that he may be kept above even
the dampness of ordinary earth.-Prai-I

FARM AND GARDEN.

Thin out your early bects by using
the large ones for the table, or, ii
necessary, thin them out and throw
the surplus beets and leaves to the

FERTILIZER at the stem of plant Is
not as valuable as II mingled in the
soil around 1t, foot away or more,

THE cost OF keeping a COW has been
shown TO be about i0~cents per day,
or s3G per year. Any variation from
this is probably Offset by the differ

whether or not his COW Is capable OF

feed her on scientific principles. There
are thousands OF cows that could not
produce cents worth OF profit on the
best feed ON earth.

parrots, chattering monkeys and the
thousand and one flying and creeping
denizcns Of the forest wilds.
No human voice responded to our
summons, and yet we felt assured OF
being on the right trail, for three sew
eral times we had found half burnt
matches. and once had picked up a
fragment Of drawing paper which we
knew to be Toms. We had spent fully
two hours in going, perhaps, as many

across further signs OF our friend,
Charlie Blake gave IL as his opinion
that, II still alive, he had lost himself
and was probably wandering in circle
somewhere in the labyrinthinc depths,
where the sun, his only guide, could not
penetrate.
"And, boys" he concluded, III we
do not find him before nightfal

IL was now past four o'clock, and al

path. Joe Burke In oclccd over "A slink-

Charlie Blake, whom we had elected

as likely as not to run right into their
lairs, or, by his single prese nee, tempt
some of them from cover, and il he does

hunting him up"
We were a party of six; five of us
young fellows from Boston, who had
lately graduated and were now, before
settling down to the serious business
of life, spending few months in Bra
I'll, on botanizing, chronological and
hunting trip. The sixth man, Charlie
Blake, was a thirty-year-old New
Yorker, whom we had fortunately run
against at Valverde, where he had been
for some time engaged in trade, and
who had very kindly consented to join
us for n week or two, thus supplying
TO the rather light headed a much
needed modicum of ballast.
OF late we had made Valvcrde our

a tour of exploration, and it was on the
second day after leaving the old town
that we found ourselves, at noon, in
that prolific stretch of country which
lies above the junction of and between
the Tocantins and Rio del Tigre river.
