OUR BACK DOOR.

Just back OF the house, right under Q tree,
Is box that Is full OF silver sand
OF sand that was washed by q saltless sea
Till IL rivals the white of womans hand;
And out OF that boz of sand arise
Such wonderful sights as never before
Were spoken Of lip or seen OF eyes,
And all within sight OF our back door.
There's IN old pie-tin, with numberless holes.
A shovel, q rake, and an old tin can,
A block OF wood. and oh, dear souls!
In the midst of these is q workingman;
He Is busily making pies and cakes.
And digging and sitting and playing store,
The which hole In his stomach makes,
Which he brings to MI at our back door.
And all Of the little folk living near
Have heard Of this wonderful box Of sand,
SO full Of treasures their hearts hold dear;
And In como trooping the busy band,
Till the sands have forgotten the cruel sea
And the waves that dashed the sounding
shore.
For the food Of laughter. the bubbling glee.
That ripple and break by our back door.

lake, at "a degrees north latitude, tho
musl-ox draws the line marking his
farthest south.
A man who can endure cold like an
Eskimo, travel like a caribou, live for
weeks on frozen caribou meat, starve
as cheerfully as Yellow Knife Indian,
and endure the companionship of YER
min-covercd natives, can reach the
southern borderland of the musk-ox,
and possibly get back alive with two or
three skins. Mr.. Warburton Pike, Eng
lishman, can do and did do all those
things no longer ago than 1890; and his
book on 1.-THE Barren Grounds of North
ern Canada" is most interesting and
valuable contribution to our knowledge
Of that very dcsolate country.
The musk-ox is perhaps the rarest,
and to white men the most difficult to
secure, of oil our land quadrupeds.
Robes are by no means uncommon, and
often sell for as little as fifteen dollars
each; but of mounted skins there are in
our countryexactlys seven. Three of these
constitute group in the National mu-
scum; two are at the American Museum
of Natural History in New York; and
the museums of Philadelphia and Cam
bridge have one each. Although dur
ing their long sojourns in high lati-
tudes Gen. Greedy and the members OF
his expedition party killed many musk
oxen, you will notice that they were
unable to bring back even SO much as a
single horn.
The appearance Of the muslt-ox Is SO
odd and striking that when once seen
it is seldom forgotten. You see an OBJ
long mass of tremendously long brown
hair, four and a half feet high by six
and half long, supported upon wide
hoofs and very short, thick legs, almost
hidden by the body hair. There is also
blunt and hairy muzzle, q pair of
eyes, pair of broad, flattencd horns
that part like woman's hair and drop
fur downward before they curve up
ward-and that is all. The mass of
HAIR is SO thick that ns the robe lies on
the floor it is about as easy to walk over
as a feather bed. Over tho loins you
will find, IL you look closely, broad
''saddlc-mark" of dirty-white hair,
shorter than the rest of the coat.
Next to the body is a matted mass Of
very fine and soft hair, like clean wool
SO dense that to snow and fog 1t Is
qnite impcnctrablc. Over this lies
thick coat of very long, straight hair,
often twelve inches in length and some
times twenty, like the grass raincoat Of
Japanese soldier. Sometimes it
actually touches the snow as the ami
NAL walls.-W. T. Hornaday, in st
Nicholas.

THE ARCTIC MUsK-ox.-

One Mig Animal Which Is Not Likely to
Become Extinct.
There Is one large bovine animal on
our continent which is not destined to
be snutfed out of existence like the un-
fortunate bison, and that is the musk-ox.
He is under the protection of the Frost
King, whose game pastures are seldom
penetrated by white poachers. On the
map of Arctic America you can put
your finger down almost anywhere, SO
that it be on land north Of the Great
Slave lake and east Of the Mackenzie
river, and say: "There lives the musk

diction.

bushes, even the smallest and scsntiest,

Cissie looked up again with somel
thing like her former indignation In
her eyes.
"rll throw the machine into tho
stream" she said, 'before l will ask
you TO mend it."
"Just as you please, Cissie," replied
Jack, clasping his hands behind his
head and leaning back In luxurious
enjoyment of his pipe. "Just as you
please. The day is my own and sup
pose you will wait here till night be-
fore you venture back home again.
Out Of the kindness Of my heart will
stay here with you, not to look at you,
for / shall gaze at the tops of the trees
as much as possible, and not to talk to
you, for il there is anything In this
world abhor it is an impudent,
cheeky boy. But this lane Is great
place for tramps and gypsies, and 1t
becomes very dark at night, because OF
the overhanging trees. 1t is grue-
some thoroughfare, and a nasty place
In which to meet a villain after the
sun has gone down."
~ have already met villain and a
BRUTE" sobbed Cissie, who had now
let the bicycle go and had buried her
face in her hands.
'If you refer to me, Cissie," said
Jack, "this is simply like most of the
things You have said-not true. am
only too pleased to be of any assistance
to anybody, but at the same time, al
though you might not have thought 1t
by my former conduct, l am too proud
to offer any assistance unasked."
Jack smoked on, gazing up, as he had
promised, at the tree tops. The silence
was broken only by the sweet singing
Of the birds and now and then by
quick catch Of the breath on the part
Of Cissie. Five minutes elapsed, and
then ten.

her head.
Ibid you speak?" inquired the young
man.
Jack" she said, 81 am perfectly help

horrid to me-"
'All right" said the young man, ris-
ing to his feet. II will go away. But
do try to get out of this lane before
darkness comes on"
Don't go away" cried Cissie.
"Please forgive what said, and won't
you be SO kind as to mend my tire?"
Jack picked up the bicycle, took of
the dripping lamp. turned the machine
quickly wrong side up, took the mate
rails out of his own cycle pouch,
had the tire off and on again and
pumped full in an incredibly short
