The whole region is one of severe
cold, and the sea is frozen over the
greater part of the year, land and
water Eecoming almost indistinguish-
able, but for the incessant movement
and drift of the sea ice. In summer
the sea ice breaks up into foes, which
may drift away southwark and melt,
or be driven by the winds against the
shores Of continents or islands, leav-
ing lanes of open water which shift

hour.
Icebergs launched from the glaciers
of the land also drift with the tide,
current and wind through the more
or less open water. Possibly at some
times the pack may open and clear

AS TennySon was thinker as well
as poet, it is interesting to see how
he interprets the pulling half of
creation. One thing that he insists
upon is the indissoluble bond be-
tween them and man. "The wom-
ans cause Is mans; they rise or sink
together, dwarfed or god like, bond
or free; if she be small, slight
natured, miserable, how shall man
grOw?" That places quite burden
of responsibility upon women, but
elsewhere he remarks: "As the hus-
band is, the wife is" which again
p aces the burden on the masculine
shoulders. Probably the poet meant
to divide 1t. About the esteem in
which she should lie held, he speaks
in no uncertain manner, "Who does
not honor his wife dishonors himself"
and at is the low man thinks the
woman low" Somewhat equivocal
is this, ut is hard to wive and thrive
In year" Possibly he means to
imply that so much good fortune
does not often befall man in so
short time. His various heroines
were all little above the ordinary.
"Her eyes are homes Of silent
prayer" eyes not down-dropped
nor over bright but fed with the
cear-pointed flame OF chastity" "By
common clay, taken from the com
mon earth nodded by God and
tempered by the tears Of angels to
the perfect form of woman" pure
vestal thoughts in the translucent
fame of her still spirit" Happy he
with such mother! Faith in wom-
ankind beats with his blood, and
trust In all things high comes easy
to him; and though he trip and fall
he shall not blind his soul with clay"
"She stood sight 70 make an old
man young" So much and much
more did he say OF women. And
they In gratitude may well apply TO
him other lines Of his-"lIe rested,
we'll content that all was well, aud,

fair death.

curious deformity OF being fingesless
This popularity does not appear TO
be one Of those freaks of Nature
which may appear in one individual,
and not be transmitted to the next
generation. So far as can be learned
the singularity has existed In this
family so far as history or tradition
extends, and there seems at present
no signs of its dying out, as the
grandchildren are as devoid OF fingers
as their grandsre.
The hands of this remarkable
family present the appearance of
having had the fingers amputated,
or chopped off roughly and unevenly
below the second Joint, leaving a
short stump. There is no nail or
hard substance, and were 1t not for
the absence of anything like cica-
trice a casual observer would con-
clude that the defect was due Ia
accident; but, as though Nature
had attempted to compensate for the
absence of fingers, the thumbs are
abnormally large and strong.
The family are In other respects
fully endowed by Nature, and do not
appear to suffer the disadvantages the
absence of fingers might be expected
to entail. One of the daughters aged
twenty, can write, sew, knit, and is
in every way as dexterous and &C
complished as other girls Of her age
and station. When asked If she "did
not find it awkward to be tlngerless,
she replied
"Nol If you had never had fingers
you would not know you needed
them"
The only drawback that seems t.
be occasioned is the curiosity the
absence of fingers evokes from
strangers.

A Bird Story.

VIII you allow me to add a touch
ing instance Of courage to your pleas
ant stories? Early one morning last
summer / was called to the window
by great noise among the bird peo-
pie Of the garden, and saw the fol-
lowing scene. A young blackbird was
standing fascinated by cat, who
was crouched under bash ready to
spring upon him. An old blackbrd,
on an lick close by, was uttering loud
and agitated cries, and there was a
general cackle Of anger and SYM
pathy from other birds all around.
After a few seconds the cat sprang
on the young bird and held him down.
At that instant the old bird came
down on them. There was mo-
ment's struggle, the bird beating her
wings violently in the cats face,
and, l think, pecking at her eyes;
then the cat jumped back to her
tu,h, the young bird made off with
long hops, and the old one flew up to
the lick. amid a jubilant chorus Of
commentator which lasted quite
some minutes. ] never saw this be-
fore, though l have seen robin come
quite close to cat stalking another
bird and scold and flap his wings in
her face.
The ways of birds are delightful,
and in a small garden you can have
many by keeping earthenware saucers
full Of water for them to battle in. ~

Of the stronger is constant and I'M
necessary. In shipping cattle in cars
or combining them in circumscribed
spaces the long horns are not only
dangerous in giving wounds, but take
up a good deal of spare room. 1t
was demonstrated that twenty per
cent. more cattle could be stored in a
car by having their horns removed.
In view of this, and in considera-
tion of the huge numbers Of cattle
deyeloped at the ranches each year,
