art. literature, music. soldering, or.
in fact, anv other matter that mortal

is about one of the best in Europe,
was playing a march in the court yard
of the Schioss a few days ago. but the
time did not suit William. He thought
he knew more about it than the con
ductor. SO he straightway emerged
from the palace, stopped the music
and, taking the baton from the band
masters hand, conducted the piece
himself To his beating. The musician
were in state of terror, but he
warmed them up to a galop time. and
when ne had finished returned the ba
ton To the conductor with the remark:
Next time you play that march play
it properly. | have given you the cor
rect time. Now dismiss the band, go
to the barracks and play nothing else
for we-k" THIS order was religion
Iy carried into effect. and for a whole
week the guards knew no other melody
but that eCc- o trIc march, which no man
could keep step to.

Eskimos Find the Faithful Animal a Neces-
sity of Their Miserable Existence.
without dogs the larger portion of
the great Eskimo family peopling the
barren northern coast of America
would find it impossible to exist in its
chosen home" So writes E. W. Nell
son in his Mammals of Northern
Alaska" They are used in the winter
for hunting, sledge-drawing and the
like. but in summer are mostly left to
shift for themselves. They receive
much hard usage, as well "a do much
hard work, but are described, never
theless, as a rollicl1ing set, full of
play. fond of human society and quar-
relsome schoolboys. Mr. Nelson
credits them with vein of humor and
declares that their varying character
istics can be read in their faces. They
are worth from two dollars to fifteen
dollars apiece, according to age. size
and intelligence. For sledge-drawing
they are harnessed in teams of either
seven or nine-three or four pairs and
a leader. The load is from three hun
dred and fifty to seven hundred pounds
and the course is mainly through un-
broken snow or over rough ice. With a
team of seven dogs and load of more
than three hundred pounds Mr. Nelson
made a journey of more than twelve
hundred miles in about two months.
The last sixty miles were made over a
bad road in continuous pull of
twenty-one hours, They are much af
fected by the moon. During full moon
half the night is spent by them in
bowling in chorus. During the entire
winter at st. Michael'S." says Mr.. Mel
son, we were invariably given a chorus
every moonlight night, and the dogs of
two neighboring villages joined in the
serenade." He speaks of its wild,
weird harmony" and seems to have
found it agreeable rather than other
wise. The influence of the moon is
also very apparent when the dogs are
travelling. They brighten up as the
moon rises, and pricl1ing up their ears
start OFF as if they had forgotten their
fatigue The fur traders take advan-
tage of this fact. and sometimes lie
over during the day and travel at
night The dogs endure an astonish-
ing degree of cold. Mr.. Nelson saw a
female with two newly-born puppies
lying upon the snow near hut, with
no sign of shelter. when the thermom-
eter ranged from thirty to thirty-five
degrees below zero

Corrupted Indian Names.

Inose musical Indian names that
decorate the map of the northern
states have too often suffered corrup-
ton, although there seems to lie plenty
of evidence at hand to help correc.
such corruption The Tombi,:by river
of Alabama is usually spelled with 8
~ in the last syllable instead OF zee,
IN spite of the fact that the names ol
half a dozen neighbOring streams enc
in &c" Several other significant end
ings have suffered corruption in the
case of river and creek names north
and south. The Indians usually gave
name to any large body OF water mean
which they dwelt, and it has been
found in the case of primitive river
names in the old world that 4 syllable
meaning water occurs orce at least.
and in many instances several times,
in the same name. From this philolo-
glstS have been able to trace successive
conquests. as each conquering tribe
added its own name for water or river
to the syllables already forming the
names of streams within the conquered
district The same thing has ha ppaned
IN TINS country, as the whites have
tackled the word river to many Indian
names already including the word.

FAMILY TRADITION COUNTS.
Dominant Force in the Politics and So
ciety of Little Delaware.


No resident of a great state can east
ly guess the feeling of local loyalty
and of almost clannish pride common
throughout the commonwealth of Del
aware, saws the New York sun. When
Warrington is left out of account the
remainder of the state is peopled chief
IL by rural community, native to the
soil and descended from ancestors
often settled for two centuries within
the bounds of the state. There are
many families still holding lands under
seventeenth century patents, lands
that have descended from father TO
son all those years without the passags
of title deeds. 1t Is only a few years
since a Deiawarean about to remove to
the west sold piece of land that hi
ancestors had purchased from an In
dian chief as the representative of his
tribe. Long descent in Delaware is
confined to no self-constituted upper
class, but is the boast of all sorts of
people. There are many ancient
churches in Delaware, and proba bly,
every one includes within its congrc-
CATION some families descended from
those that took part in organizing the
church. Rural communities through
out the state are curiously immobile.
Surnames are few, and the region from
which a man comes is easily guessed
from his name.
Family traditions are jealously treas
