PLAYING WITH ICICLEs,

1t is cold in the land of the Esqui-
maux--very cold, colder than you
, who live in the temperate zone can
imagine. 1t is never warm there and
never what we would call ''pleasant."
The sun, when it shines at all, shines
feebly, and the snow and ice never
melt. The people try to keep warm.
That is all. But as for taking walks
for pleasure or INDUCING in outdoor
sports, they never do such things at
all on account of the cold. Although
wrapped up like little mummies, for
the first few years of their lives, the
Esquimau children are playful little
beings and love toys as dearly as do
the children of any other country.
And what do you suppose they play
with-lhese far away, half frozen
babies? They play with icicles. for
these are the only paythings they can
find. With their stout, stubby little
little hands they make necklaces out
of icicles and fasien the prettiest of
them to wires to make earrings of.
Their games are played with small
snowballs or Ice-balls, which are frozen
SO hard that they can be handled quite
while indoors before they will melt.
Perhaps the Esquimau children have
a game with ice marbles, and who
knows but their little toy wagons may
be followed out of blocks of ice?-

SANDY, THE DOG OF THE cRIMEA.

SANDY, THE DOG OF THE CRIMEA.
One of the most celebrated dogs that
ever lived was Sandy, dog that went
through the Crimean war and was
decorated by the government for his
valuable services. Sandy was the
property of a young French lieuten-
ant. His mother was savage Eng
lish bulldog and his father was very
intelligent Scotch terrier. And Sandy
combined all of the best qualities of
both his parents, Before he was z
years old he had been in great many
battles, and was specially useful in
obtaining food from other camps and
in guarding his masters tent from the
natives. Once, in the thickest of the
battle, he dartcd forward to his mas
ter's rescue and received a terrible
bayonet wound that caused him TO go
on three legs for long time and. from
which he never fully recovered. Sau-
dy greatly distinguished himself on
two Or three occasions by rushing
into the most fearful seas and rescuing
men from capsized vessels.
Sandy lived to ripe old age, and,
although times Of peace were restored
long before his death, he never forgot
his army training, and to the last he
would drag himself out, crippled and
old, to march proudly at the head Of
his regiment on holiday occasions.-

The Proper Diet For Children.

After school is over our child comes
home, and as dinner is generally the
next thing upon the programme, we
are naturally introduced to the subject
Of food for children. And here,
among so many wise mothers, it is
probably work of supererogation to
even hint that simplicity and regularity
are the golden rules for dietetics of
children, and that because we know
man to be an omnivore, and therefore
liable to enjoy fish, flesh, and fowl in
their season, it does not necessarily
follow that we should serve every
known preparation of these viands to
our little ones. Nor yet that because
wheat flour is an excellent article of
diet for the child, for the sake of its
gluten aud starch and sugar, and be-
cause he may eat fresh raspberries in
their season, is it necessary corohary
that combination of the two in the
form of a raspberry tart will be
equally nutritious and digestible.
The Spencerian doctrine that the
tastes Of a child should form the basis
for his diet hardly seems TO us practi-
cal, SO long as children are not al
ways born in what we call state of
nature, but bring along with them
into this world certain hereditary ten.
denotes which we make more terrible
by calling diatheses, and which an in
telligent system Of dietetics can 60
some distance, at all events, TO corr
rect.
Why child who is of a nervous
temperament is benefited by diet
which contains considerable fat we do
not exactly understand, nor does the
presence of fat in the brain seem to
be sufficient answer, but clinically
we have found this to be true. So,
also, should we remember that fatty
foods, with generous nitrogenous
admixture, are especially desirable for
children who have the tuberculous
tendency, and that all influences which
go to favor good digestion and ap-
petite should be especially evoked for
them; while in The dietary of our
rheumatic charge we should remember
to guard against too great admission
of sweet or starchy articles, and not
forget the favorable influence that
judicious exercise has apon this dis
order. Harper's Bazaar.

A PRINCE ON A BICYCLE.

Last May, while out riding his
favoriie pony, Abdul, the little Crown
Prince Of Germany was thrown from
his horse and badly shaken up. No
bones were broken, but the little fell
low was SO badly scared that he re-
fused again 20 mount the fiery Abdul.
So the little Arabian pony was led
away to the stables, and for many
months he was exercised by one Of
grooms. The little Crown Prince, al
though an excellent horseman. would
not try to ride again for many long
day. The memory of Abdurs side
jump and the terrific fall that followed
were too recent to be forgotten. And
what do You think was bought for the
little Prince when he would not ride
horseback? Why, a bicycle, to be
sure. And the little fellow has grown
to like bicycling very much.-[New

and the dummy figure with bells from

have to siea! purses and handkerchiefs

A young pickpocket who aroused
suspicion because he was spending
money very freely, and who was
found 20 have only recently stolen a
purse containing $12 from lady in
an omnibus, has been interviewed on
the subject in the prison of La Petite
Roquette.
This precious young rascal described
how his father had carefully taught
him TO pick ladies' pockets. sI only
pick ladies' pockeis." he said. "That
is easier than picking mems. With
gentlemen it is much more difficult to
do the trick without their feeling your
hand OH them." His "papa' aud he.
he said, used to travel together in the
omnibuses from the Palais Royal to
the Bastile.

explained as the omnibuses from the

and successfully asserted, exclusive
privileges with regard to the portable
property of passengers on that route.
The interviewer, after leaving the lad,
found himself minus handkerchief
and halfpenny, which he had pur-
rosely left in his tail pocket as an ex-
pertinent to see whether he could be
relieved of them without his
knowledge.-lNew York Journal.

A Snake in a Bag of Potatoes.

A man purchased bag of potatoes
at the Capo Town, (South Africay
market, and when the potatoes were
turned out at his home he discovered
that puff adder was included in the
bargain. That viper must have been
callous, indeed, to have expended no
vernon during its transit, and it is to
be hoped that the potatoes were well
examined after being in such COM
pany. The colonists are wonderfully
expert in dealing with such quarry.

What q Maverick Is.

Some years ago man named Nav.
erick located near Austin, Texas, and
went into the stock business. He had
considerable money and established
largo ranch, mostly of cattle. He was
what might be termed progressive
man, but his ideas of progress were
not suitable to his surroundings. For
instance, he concluded, that branding
cattle was uscless-in fact, barbarous
and he determined that the red hot
iron should never again be pressed
gainst tho side of an animal belonging
to him. He kept his word, but he
didn't keep his cattle. This was q
regular picnic for the cowboys of that
locality, who of all things could never
be accused of being at oil scrupulous
on questions of honor, especially when
there was steer involved in the case
Well, the cowboys picked up Mavcr-
ick's cattle wherever they could find
them, and it was not long before every
hoof of them was gone and he was re-
duced to almost poverty. Ever since
that every unbranded head of cattle
over six months of age has been
called maverick and is regarded by
the cowboy as the property Of him
who first finds il and sticks his brand
on it-rLouisville Commercial.

An Earthly Crown After Death.

to his father again, and when tho old
man died the remains of lncz were

round her ghastly form. One flcshless
hand held the sceptcr, the symbol Of

exercising discretion they insure
safety. Gold pieces from which so
ANAL fraction of their weight has
been abstracted by sweating bear no
altered aspect to the inexperienced
eye. An expert perceives by the
feel an unhealthy smoothness, the
sharp lines made by the die being
softened down. This is very differ
ent from the effect produced by the
abrasion incidental to ordinary wear.
But the quality which betrays
sweated coins to the adept is just what
is most likely to deceive most people.
Naturally, their outer coat having
been removed, they are brilliant when
newly put in circulation. They are as
bright as if fresh from the mint. This
very popularity excites the distrust of
persons who are acquainted with such
matters. A good many of them reach
the Treasury here, to be Immediately
stamped with the word "Light" and
rejected.
But coins which have been sweatcd
are mostly issued and circulated in
parts Of the country far away from
Washington and from the sub-treas-
uries. This is purposely doue in
order that they may escape detection.
On the whole, considering how simple
the process is, it is rather surprising
that this kind of fraud is not more
widely pursued. So long as it is
done discreetly there is comparatively
little chance of detection.
