$1,000, 900 "A year from the United
Kingdom for French poultry; Belgium
receives over $500 900 year; Russia
5000, O00 while the United States and
other countries get the balance, amount
ing to nearly $40, 900.
No doubt the English farmers would
be glad TO receive the 81, $40, 246 that
are paid by the English people for for
eign poultry, even if it did not amount
TO such a very large sum when dis
tributed among them individually. 1t
would, however, be some slight encour-
agement that might induce them to pay
more attention to their poultry, with
the hope of securing the entire home
market and all there is in it,

How Protection Would Help the Farmers

The English people like foreign poul

than help the British farmers to supply

A Runaway Star.

The greatest velocity that has been
recognized among the stars, says Ill
the Year Round, is found in the motion
of star known as 1880 Groombridge,
or the runaway STAR" as it is some-
times called, which is believed to be
rushing through space at the rate OF
200 miles per second. This star ap-
pears to be moving in a perfectly
straight line through the sky, and it
may be visiting our star system for the
first time, but whence it came OF whittier
it is going no one can tell and it is a
great enigma to astronomers.
It's wonderful velocity cannot be ex-
planned, as it is far greater than could
be produced by the influence of all
known orbs in the universe, and, on
the other hand the combined attraction
of all the stars cannot stop this wan
derer in its solitary flight through
space, until it has rushed on to the re-
moter distances, beyond which the
largest telescopes have never pene-
trated.
1t has been mathematically demon
strated that body approaching the
center of our system from an infinite
distance cannot move with greater
velocity than twenty-five miles a sec
ond, if influenced by the attraction of
the masses in our universe alone, but
here we have been considering a star
moving with eight times that velocity,
and still, Notwithstanding the fact that
it has the greatest motion known among
the stars, it would require 185, 900 years
for this remarkable star to complete an
entire circuit around the heavens.

GRANDNIA'S THANKSGIVING WITH
THE CHILDREN.

The house was old where Grandma stayed,
But round it merry children played
There were Tom, Teddy, Bessie and Ray,
All of them busy with happy play.
1t was drawing near Thanksgiving Day,
There were coming to see them Aunt Edith and
May;
Little May, girl just four years old,
From her head hung six pretty curls of gold.
She was fat and pretty as child could be,
On Thanksgiving Day they were to have great
glee;
They were going out in grand old sleigh,
On this glorious holiday.
n was on Thanksgiving morn,
II were happy, none would scorn;
II the turkeys that were not dead
we're moaning for those that had lost their head.

After dinner with turkey so fine,
he girls were playing on the floor,
But the boys had all formed line.

aughing and shouting, and happy and gay,
little May stumbled over stone,
The sleigh drove off and left her alone.

folks would not go away,

They all upset in the river;

But they were all of shiver.

IN THE GREAT NORTHWEST.
Few Musk Oxen There, but Trout Are
Four Feet Long.

S. n. Malterner of Spokane, Union
Pacific locomotive engineer, has re-
turned to his home in Spokane from an
exploring trip in the wilds of the North
west territory. There are some of the
things he told Spokesnaan-R Revieao re-
porter.
"We sent two canoes to Bennington
and proceeded by wagon 100 miles
north to the AthBbasca river. Then we
launched the canoes and bid good-by to
the last traces of civilization. On the
voyage down the river, 500 miles, to
Fort Chippewayan, on the Athabasca
lake, we encountered serious mis-
fortune. necessitating the separation of
Mr.. Burrell and myself.
"From Fort Chippewayan 1 went
down the Slave river to Fort Resolution,
on Great Slave lake. This is fine body
of water, 375 miles long and in one
place eighty miles wide with arms or
bays 1870 miles long. The surveys are
not complete, and the explorer can place
little reliance on the government. ]
went up to Rib Dog trading post and
made an excursion into the barren lands
for musk OK, but was not successful.
The fact is that the only white men who
ever killed any of these animals were
Pike of Victoria and Mckinley, in
charge of Fort Resolution. Pike claims
that every OK he killed cost him $4,000
81 went on to Clinton Golden lake, in
latitude 81. There the sun is out of
sight only half an hour in twenty-four,
during summer time. I went over to
the Mckenzie river. There and at Fort
Resolution they raise potatoes and other
vegetables, but it must be done in two
months. This is possible, because
vegetation there never sleeps, as there
is no night.
81 travelled about 2, 800 miles in the
canoe. In Trout creek, which empties
into Clinton Golden lake, l caught q
real trout that measured four feet and
weighed fifty pounds. as near as
could estimate. There are millions OF
geese, ducks, and swans The wavy, a
snow-white bird smaller than the grouse,
is native at these lakes. I think it is
found, also, on the southern coast. AL
the northern fowl are migratory and &C
still north of latitude 81 to nest. There
are millions of black foxes, and cannot
conceive of any danger of their exter
d n1ination -

story of Little Queen wilhelmina.

In Holland they tell many stories of
their little queen, the Wilhelmina whom
we have talked about so often. Her
mother, Queen Emma, is full of consid-
Grafton for the feelings of others, and
has brought her little girl up to be
thoughtful and gentle and always gra-
cious and polite.
But at one time in the little girls life
this question of politeness and courtesy
proved a great trial and she told her
mother that it made her back ache to
bow to all the people she met while
driving, and she for one did not see the
use in it and did not intend to do it
any more.
Then the elder queen began long
lecture while they were still in their
carriage, and told the younger queen
that it was part of her duty as sover-
eign to bow and be gracious and smile.
She told her, too, how much her subjects
loved her, and with what interest they
were watching her grow to be awoman
and how unkind and ungratefulit it would
be to return their loyalty and devotion
with Indifference and rudeness.
So the little queen promised to do the
right thing, but two or three days after,
when she was playing with her dolls and
one refused to stand gracefully when
she wanted it, some one heard her say;
"Dollie, be good or you will have to be
punished, too; sent out in carriage and
made to bow to every one you see and
get a backache Yourself"

Newspaper Work.

The ambitious young girl sees the
newspapers glittering with the names
of women writers and dreams of join
ing the brilliant throng. That is the
career in v-hich she is sure she can sue
ceed and perhaps she can, as success is
often measured. Yet, in all friendli-
ness, we beg her to think twice before
she adopts this profession. 1t has diff
ferent grades of workers, but none of
its paths are easy, nor are its emolu-
ments magnificent, excepting those
which 60 to the proprietors. Envies,
jealousies and hatreds swarms where
men and women dish up the gossip of
the whole word.
"The first thing the young girl who
wants to do newspaper work needs is a
chance. OF course she may write some
thing, and if it is timely or newsy and
bright in style it may be accepted and
paid for but she will never be full
tiedged newspaper woman until she
goes right into an Office and works just
as men do. Then she must not be con-
tented with writing something and
passing it over for some man editor to
edit-that is, to put appropriate head
lines on it and make it in every re-
spect entirely ready for the printers
hands.
"She must have health, good sense. a
quick instinct for that which the public
want to know about, and be able to tell
it in the best and most captivating way.
The art of expression is one which she
must cultivate always. 1t goes without
saying she must have an education, the
broader the better, for it will come in
her way to write of dozens of things
she never thought of before. When
she has to explain them to the public
she will learn that the same sources OF
information are open to her that are
open TO others, and she can inform her
self"

Book Lovers of Old.

The old Celtic monks were generous
with their books. They made copies OF
the psalms for the children and nuns,
They wrote beautiful prayers and
litanies. and devotional works which
they gave to the people. They gave
copies of the sacred scriptures, and the
classics to the students who came from
England, France, Germany and Italy
and they sent loads of books to the con-
tinent.
Every monk and missionary (and
they went by thousands) took his dear
books with him and. dying bequeathed
them to the nearest Irish monastery on
the mainland Thus st. Gall preserves,
after 1000 years, large number of
the old Irish manuscripts. Dungal, an
Irish scholar of the ninth century, left
in northern Italy. Mark and Moen gal
(Marcellus), returning from Rome to
Ireland in the ninth century, left their
books to St. Gall and took up their
residence with the brethren. Books
were given as ransom for captives.
They went to war for the possession of
book. They gave them many tender,
endearing names.
They bound them IN elegant style,
with ornaments of gold, silver and ivory.
They made tasteful silver and metal
caskets for them and appointed special
guardians for certain aged and precious
books. They copied their most ancient
books with great care and veneration,
down to the obsolete terms and gram
mar and the unintelligle archaisms. No
literature in all history has had so many
enemies or suffered so long from the
most adverse circumstances as the an
cient Celtic, and yet there remains to-
day at Dublin enough of imprinted
manuscript to fill 1000 large octave
volumes, and the greater part of this
is the product of the old schools or of
those learned families which kept up the
forms and traditions of the purely Celtic
schools long after the Norman monks
and clergy had introduced continental
methods

Impressed by the Cars Looks.

To demonstrate the czar's apprecia-
ton of kindness the following incident
was related by man who heard it
from Hallam Tennyson in London some
time ago.
While on one of his visits to Copen
hagen the czar and the king of Dem
mark went hunting and became sepa-
rated from the rest of the hunting party.
They turned their horses homeward
and on the way stopped at peasants
hut, where the king asked the peasant
woman for drink for himself and his
companion. The woman looked at the
big man and, smiling pleasantly, said
to the king, whom, Of course, she did
not know: HE looks SO good and kind
he shall have a glass of the best we
have"
The czar did not understand a word
and when on their return the king
laughingly told him of the good inn
preston he had made on the woman
the czar said seriously. almost mourn
fully: "What would not give to see
such kindness among my people. IN.

Woman Among the Iroquois.

A gentleman, recently returned from
a visit to the Indians of the Onondaga
reservation in this state, said the other
day. Il was surprised to find the
women of the nation held in such high
esteem. My preconceived notion of the
Indian squaw was that she is the drudge
and slave of her lazy, semi-barbareus
master, and that she is in no way honor
ed by the males of her race. This is the
case, am told with most tribes of the
American red men but it was never SO
with the nations of the Iroquois con-
federacy. In fact, the women were
held in so high regard by the 1roquois
that they were spoken of as people
ruled by women.
"This peculiarity is evidenced in their
life to-day. 1t Is true that there isn't
much work done by any of the Indians
but the men do most of what is done,
the squaw only being called on TO at
tend to her household duties. The
superiority of the squaw to the buck is
shown in the fact that the children, ac-
cording to the custom of the Iroquois,
belong to the family or nation of their
mother. If Seneca Indian marries an
Onondaga squaw and they have children
the latter are Onondagas and should the
father be of the family of the Wolf, and
the mother of the Snipe clan, the chill
dren are Snipes. 1t is as if John Smith
married Mary Jones and the child OF
the marriage was named John Jones.
Another Indication of the superiority
of the squaw is shown in the Indian
manner of speaking of a man and a
woman. In English they habitually re.
fer TO her and HIM as doing something,
being somewhere, or saying something.
Possibly they are more grammatical in
the use in their own dialect. IN Y
