return is given in letter from FIJI,
dated August 10. 1t seems that Sir
John b. ThurstOn, governor OF Fiji,
has been greatly interested in these
poor people, sparing neither trouble
nol expense in caring for them. Re
Ceiving permission from the king Of
Tongo to return these eXiles, this
governor of Fiji sent for steamer to
carry them back. In his address to
the eXiles at the Government House,
he spoke of his admiration of their
characters, and urged them to con-
tinue faithful to their religion and to
exercise a spirit of reconciliation
toward those who had wronged them.
In an address to the Europeans who
were present, the Rev. II. Worrall
said, "These Tongans for three years
have borne separation from friends
and relations, simply because they
have refused to sacrifice their fidelity
to principle. BY the power of the
Gospel of Jesus Christ these Tongans,
whose fathers were heathens, have
proved themselves moral heroes,
There are in this company some of
the grandest Christian gentlemen |
have ever met-men who have suf-
fered for their religion more than |
or any man can tell" Some remark
able addresses were made by these
men, who were going to their homes.
AS the steamer moved away from
the wharf the Europeans gave three
ringing cheers, while the eXiles on
the after.deck sang with quivering
lips and fearful eyes, "Home, Sweet
HOmew and as the vessel moved
further away from the shore they
were heard singing, "What Friend
we have in Jesus ~

An Eagle and Salmon.

Harper's Young People.
The common eagle is a bird Of
wonderfully keen sight. At aheight
of eighty yards it can see a grass
mouse or a stoat, and, having once
located its prey, it will swoop down
with the speed Of an arrow and rise
with its victim in its claws. Mrs.
Wilmot, the superintendent Of the
Canadian fish hatcheries at Newcas-
tie, Ontario, Canada, told me the fol-
lowing story about an eagle: GA
pair of eagles built their nest near
our house, we'll up in large pine
tree, year in and year out for many
seasons. One autumn the cold wea-
Their set in earlier than usual, and the
smOothe parts Of the stream that ran
by our house were frozen. But the
eagles still remained in the big pine,
save when they flew abroad for food.
One morning, us sat by the window
looking in the direction of the pines,
! noticed one Of the birds leave the
tree and poise directly above rough
part Of the river, which was not
frozen. Then he went down like a
bolt, and disappeared under the wa
ter. | watched with great interest to
see what he would fetch-watched
one, two, three, four seconds, but he
did not appear. This was something
90 unusual that | became intensely
interested. stood at the window
for half minute watching where the
bird disappeared. Then, sure that
something had happened to him, l
snatched my hat and ran down to
where lay my little boat. After some
difficulty | managed to get it into the
open water, and then pulled to the
spot where the eagle had gone under,
Looking down, l saw the bird, with
his wings partly extended, and held
fast to the bottom in some unac-
countable way. With graphing
hook drew him out. Judge of my
surprise, when there came to the
surface, the eagle, an enormous sal
mon. 1t was for this splendid prize
that the eagle had made this plunge
OF course, he buried his strong, SHARP
talons in the side of the fish, but
when he wanted to rise, he coult
not lift his prey. Neither could HI
withdraw his talons from the sal
mons side, and so he persisted. Thu
fish weighed trifle over thirty
pounds"

SOMEHOW OR OTHER.

Life has burden for everyone's shoulder,
None may escape from its burdens and care;
Miss it in youth, and twill come when
we're older
And fit us as close as the garments we wear.
Sorrow comes into our homes unlimited,
Robbing our hearts of its treasures of song.
Lovers grow cold and our friendships are
sighted,
Vet somehow or other we worry along.
Midst the sweet blossoms that smile in our
faces,
Grow the rank weeds that would poison and
blight
And e'er in the midst of earth's beautiful
places,
There always is something that isn't quite
right.
Somehow or other the pathway grows
brighter,
Just when we mourn there was none to be.

Hope In the heart makes the burden grow
lighter,
And somehow or other we get to the end.

WILD HORSES IN AMERICA.
Where They Are Found and How Captur
ed by the Indians.

NhcEe lhey are round ana HOW CapIur-
ed by the Indians.
The wild horses of the American con-
tinent once roamed from the border of
old Mexico as far north as Lake Winni-
peg. Twenty-three years ago there
were great many wandering over the
broad, grassy bottoms of the Cimmaron,
in southwestern Kansas; perhaps they
are not all extinct yet. All the wild
horses were of small stature-pony-
built in every instance-but possessing
wonderful amount of endurance-a
tough, hardy animal, well fitted to per-
form the peculiar duties the Indian de-
manded of him. The average savage is
very hard on his animals and unless
their horses were constituted to Give
on cactus and drink the green slime of
the buffalo wallows" they would have
become extinct, probably, long ago.
When caught young they are easily
"broken," but if taken at an advanced
age they are perfectly incorrigible.
The usual method of capturing the
wild horse by the plains tribe was with
the lariat, in the early days made of the
hair of the buffalo or that of the tail of
the ponies. The Cheyennes, Kiowas
and Dacotahs, improperly called Sioux,
whenever they started out on an eXpe-
dition to catch wild horses, always
| picked the fastest animals they pos
sessed. The rider, winding his lariat
on his arm, dashes into the herd at a
dead run, and, as soon as he gets the
rope on the neck of wild horse, jumps
off his own as quick as flash, and,
running as fast as he can allows the
lariat to slip through his hands gradu-
ally, until the animal is choked and
falls to the ground for want of breath,
and lays there a quivering, helpless
mass. Then the Indian moves forward
very slowly, step by step, toward the
horses head, still keeping the animal
well choled, and proceeds to tasted a
pair of rawhide hobbies ON his forefeet.
Then he let's up on the lariat, so that
the animal can catch his breath, and
then takes turn with the lariat around
the jaw, like bit. which gives him
wonderful power over the frightened
horse, which pitches and plunges, snorts
and tumbles around until he is nearly
exhausted. Then the Indian, by care
full management, gets his hand on the
horses nose, pats him a little, and is
soon able to mount him, and he is
"broken!'
In later years they sometimes
'creased" the animal, custom taught
the Indians by the old trappers, sus-
pect. "Creasing" was simply sending a
bail through the tough mass of gristle
of the neck, which, by stunning the
brain for a few moments, caused the
animal to fall as if dead, every limb
stretched out and quivering; this lasts
long enough for them to be secured,
when they rise as if nothing had hap
pened to them.
The white man used to adopt entirely
different tactics in capturing the wild
horses on the Cimarron, Kansas. They
simply wore them out by never letting
them stop to eat or drink and by keep
ing up that plan the animal was easily
''roped' after a day or two's constant
travel.-Kansas City Star.
