DIR. Nansen's Pedigree.

Dr. Fridtjof Nansen's name being
now mentioned all over the world, his
pedigree has been the subject Of recent
research The result is that the earliest
Of the forbears of the Norwegian nav
igator of whom there is authentic knowl-
edge was Ewert Nansen, merchant at
Flensburg, in Sleswick- Holstein, who
died in 1913 So it is stated in the
"Genealogia Nanseniana, which is
contained in an important collective
work by Christopher Guessing (Copen-
hagen, 1781). Ewert Nansen's son
Hans went with his uncle ON mer-
chant ship to Russia, became afterward
interpreter Of the Russian language at
the court of the king of Denmark and
later ON special Danish envoy to the
car. Subsequently, as chairman Of the
Icelandic Trade society, he made many
voyages to Iceland and Russia and
wrote in Danish Compendium Cos
moraphicum Danicum," which had
many editions (1838-46). All the other
Nansens are traced from these ancestors,
one of the first of whom thus showed
already bent for travelling and for
writing on his travels. A clear case Of
hereditary character, going back to two
centuries and half Only it is to be
hoped that Ibsen will leave the subject
alone and not write drama called

THE LAST APPEARANCE OF MouleRE.

TT Is recorded of Moliere that on the night
Of his death he insisted on going to the thea
ter, as usual. despite the entreaties Of his
friends, to play the "Malade Imaginarie" In or
der that the workmen might not lose their
wages.
Did you who sat that night to see
The wizards hand complete its task
Guess at the face Of Tragedy
Which lurked behind the comic maskf
Did you, whose plaudits wild and loud
Mixed fate and laughter In breath,
Behold the actor as he bowed,
Crown'd with the cypress wreath Of deathP
Across the footlights Of the years
That latest scene shines fresh and bright.
Only the lamps are blurred with tears,
Only the laughter fails tonight
And, lol before our startled eyes
Two centuries dwindle to q span,
And other silent plaudits rise
Not for the genius, but the man.
Actor there CLEANS above thy tomb
No censor which the church can swing;
No incense, with its dim perfume,
Haunts thy dark rest with dreams Of
spring.
But surely blessings more divine
Upon that last appearance fell
And, with the latest braves thine,
Mingled the angels "It is WE'LL"
And, all unwilling, we today
Tread in thy footsteps, Moliere.
We laugh and wonder at the play
Or strut behind the footlights' glare.
The shouts of laughter grow more sparse
The lamps burn dim, the players flee,
And Death takes up our petty farce
And sobers 1t TO tragedy.

Old English Inns.

A feature essentially English is the
CHEEKY inn that overlooks the common.
From that upper latticed window the
jolly innkeeper Of yore would watch the
solitary horseman of romance crossing
the heath and perhaps hint his opinion
Of the traveller to the gentlemen Of
the road''-the Claude Duvals-who
found 1t convenient to keep on good
terms with mine host. But those days
are gone, and now we can take our ease
at our inn, with its deep bay windows
ON either side of the entrance, its
swinging signpost, its horse trough,
pump and outdoor SETTLE Enter and you
will find that the bay window forms q
delightful sunny recess with a seat all
round. In one instance branch Of q
vine from the adjoining greenhouse had
been trained into this recess, and round
the window punches of grapes were
hanging, some beginning to purple in
the warm August sun. The fireplace Is
often great, old fashioned one, with
seats on either side Of the ''ingleneuk, !"
right under the chimney, while framed
over one of these flreplaces / found the

A Sabbath well spent
Brings week of content
And health for the tolls of the morrow,
But Sabbath profaned,
Whateer may be gained,
Is certain forerunner of sorrow.

HUNTING PERUVIAN GAME.
An Englishman's Account of His Fin
Sport In the Highlands.

Sport In the Highlands.
Hunting in the highlands of Peru is a
very enjoyable if little known sport, &C.
cording to an Englishman "who spent
some days hunting from $4,000 to 49,,
900 feet above the sea on grassy plains
or in valleys surrounded by high noun
tains. - There is considerable small
game-snipe, ducks, Gull Gull Ga kind of
grouse) and quivio Ca kind of guinea
fowl)-but the game sportsman out
for day or two seeks is vicuna and al
paca. The vicuna is the wild llama and
is shy animal with great vitality, re.
quiring neck or shoulder shots to kill.
The alpaca is the mountain vicuna, hv-
ing on the coarse and scanty forage of
its home region. Its wool is q foot long,
but SO curly and fine that it fits to its
body like a darky's hair. Both are relat-
ed closely to the guanaco of the Pata-
gonia deserts, which sometimes wanders
into the uplands of Peru.
The Englishman carried "a lilo
American rifle and q 16 gauge shotgun
for small game.
Entering large pampa, " he writes,
1--WE sighted herd of vienna. We tried
to ride around them, but they made off,
passing Ashmore at about 200 yards.
Lying down, he opened fire, and q fine
specimen rolled over. We cleaned it,
loaded it on to pack mule and rode ON,
soon striking another herd of seven,
which at once made off, but my second
shot at 140 yards dropped one dead. This
we took, and soon after bagged two
brace of culi-culi. "
That night the hunters rolled up in
their blankets ON the mud floor of hut.
Hammocks strung from post to post
would have been better. Next day, after
restful night, they "began to shoot the
valley adjacent to Caraguiri. Some of
the writer's bullets hit two vicuna at
1870 yards, and some of the others hit the
valley. The dead animals were loaded
ON the pack mules, and after going over
the summit of an IS, 900 foot mountain
the hunters had the rare good fortune
for that region of jumping seven guiana
co, which ran too fast for the mules the
men rode and struck gait across the
pampa discouraging to the hunters.
But leaping from my mule, says
the writer, land sighting my rifle at
400 yards. dropped bullet ahead Of
them, and the bunch of dust scared
them to standstill. ! then pumped
the remaining nine bullets into the
herd, and two fell dead "
A $500 rifle would have been better
for such long range work, and 40-S2
still better, but no matter, the guanacos
were killed. One was 40 inches high at
the shoulder and weighed l4o pounds
dressed. The other was SO inches high
and weighed rs pounds dressed.
The total bag was two guanacos, sev-
en- vicuna, seven brace of euli-culi, one
brace of quivio, five ducks, three snipes
and no end of fun. Tho end of the hunt
was to the tunes Of q banjo and q piano

HE DROPPED.
A Bad Tempered Young Man Gets n Les
son In Pollteness.

A BAD tempered young man tets = Les
son In Politeness.
A young fellow with bullying eyes,
bloodshot and heavy from loss Of sleep,
swung on to the rear end Of south
bound Clark street cable car. 1t was
early and the car was filled with young
women going to their work. The young
fellow held between his thick, feverish
lips long, dark brown cigarette, and
he sucked at it nervously.
The conductor, little pink checked
Irishman, reminded his passenger that
smoking was not allowed on the rear
platform.
"Oh, that's all right, said the young
man and continued to smoke.
"No, it's not all right, " replied the
conductor, "and you will have to go
forward, stop smoking here or get off. -
The young man looked down at the
little conductor moment, shrugged his
shoulders and started forward. AS he
passed through the car he pulled away
Mt his cigarette, and by the time he
reached the front door the car was full
of smoke and many Of the young women
were coughing. Disregarding their in
dignant looks, he turned as he reached
the door, blew a mouthful Of smoke in
to the car and with contemptuous
sneer went outside.
The little Irish conductor had been
watching him. He followed, and going
close to him said:
IF you ever do such thing in my
car again, I'll punch your head off. +"
Although the young man was almost
twice as big as the conductor, he made
no reply, but tossed his cigarette away,
and his big red ears began to grow
white.
The conductor left him, but just then
q young man who had been watching
the proceedings with animated interest
came out and tapping the smoker ON
the shoulder said:
81 think you had better drop off here"
The young fellow passed his tongue
over his parched lips, gave startled
glance into the car and dropped. Chi

snnrtamnn,a Notehoolsn.

Nearly every sportsman keeps a note
book, in which are recorded dates, places
and kinds, sizes, conditions and so on
Of the game or fish he does or does not
take. Such man, when he tells story,
big, little or odd, can clinch it by refer
ring to his book. Every naturalist finds
it imperative to note every detail Of his
observations, and at the end Of ten years
or year no finds satisfaction in look
ing over his notes which is worth the
trouble ten times over. There are men
who have notes dating back over 80
years which would be mine Of wealth
for writers ON natural history. One man
carried scales in the woods with him for
years and weighed piece by piece the
moose and other big game that he kill
ed, noting it down carefully, so that
now, after long hunting life, he can
give the average weight Of any wild
animals with which he is familiar. -

Gas From sawdust.

There are several large lumber mills
in Deseronto, Canada, and the town is
partially lighted by gas obtained from
sawdust from them The sawdust is
charged in retorts which are heated by
wood fire. The gas from these retorts
passes into a series Of coils and thence
into the purifiers, which are similar to
those used for coal gas. Lime is used as
purifying agent. The plant is not
very large one, and it only turns out
$40 meters Of gas per day. for which
about two tons Of sawdust are required
A man and boy furnish all the labor
needed ut the works. The best quality
Of gas comes from resinous weeds. One
hundred kilogrammes of sawdust leave
residue of 20 kilogrammes OF char
coal, and the gas in an ordinary burner
gives an illumination of about 10 can
die power. Engineering and Mining

Figaro tells an amusing story about
M. Ricard, the minister of justice. Some
time ago he bought two launches of
kangaroo at shop where frozen meats
from Australia are sold. He had them
served up "a Ia sauce poiyade. " His
guests, who were curious to try this
"plat exotique, found it anything but
suited to their taste. Tho kangaroo had
q most peculiar flavor. M. Ricard was
naturally much vexed. He made COM
plant to the shopkeeper and asked him
to taste the remains of the dish. 1t was
then discovered that the launches had
been cooked in lamp oil instead of olive
oil, but it is not known who made this
substitution in tho minister cuisine.

MAURICE HEALY.
A Funny Incident In Which He Figured
In an Irish Court.

In an Irish Court.
Tim Healy, the Irish M p, has a
brother who is very clever barrister.
He has written book on the revision
of the voting lists which is the standard
authority with English jurists. In con-
dent transpired in one Of the courts at
Belfast.
The home rulers of that city had
wired to the London headquarters for
an able lawyer to fight their battle. as
they considered the local talent rather
light for such heavy legal contest.
They received a reply granting their re-
quest.
The court opened, and the barrister
for the Unionist party, a clever lawyer
named Young, began an able and ex-
haustive argument why the names Of
certain individuals should not be re-
tanned on the list. The home rulers were
ariiiging THEN hands ia despair, ffo1 tho
man from London had not appeared--at
least no one had seen him.
AS Young continued, rendering quo
tation after quotation in support of his
assertions, the poor Nationalist became
frantic. Suddenly there was lull in
the proceedings. A modest looking
young man had arisen to his feet to ask
o question. Nobody knew him.
my lord, th--th-a-I would like
th--th"-
A roar Of laughter resounded through
the courtroom, and even the judge
smiled. The crier shouted for silence,
but the suffering Of the young man
was so funny that it was some time ere
it could be secured. Once more the slut
terer tried.
"My lord, just one question. From
what b-b-book does the l-l-learned gen.
tleman quote?"
Mr.. Young at once replied, "Healy's
book on revision. "
''I'm Healy," said the gentleman
with the defect in speech.
The judge saluted him courteously,
the opposing lawyer shook hands with
him, and the Nationalist policy, which
had been outlined as defensive, became
aggressive in the hands of Maurice
Healy, whose suffering had caused such
merriment, with the result that the
only home ruler who ever sat for the
city of Belfast, or probably ever will,
was returned at the following election

TWAS breathless summer evening,
but the sky was overcast with murky
clouds, foreboding tempest. The room
already grew dark with the shadow Of
its coming.
Suddenly there was n loud knocking
at the front door, Presently heard
voices in conversation, then heavy foot
steps began to ascend the stairs.
At that instant rose colored flash
CLEANED through the darkness Of the
room, a terrific peal of thunder follow
cd, its echoes crashing and rolling as
if the building were about to fall upon
our heads. The sick man sprang con-
vulsiyely to an almost upright position

The door opened. There was a pause,
and two plainly dressed men slipped
quietly into the room.
''Dr. Clifford. / presume?" inquired
the foremost politely.
Jim nodded assent wonderingly.

"My patient" interposed Jim very
quietly, "has just obeyed another sum-
mons. The man died while you were
coming up stairs.
From the explanations which ensued
it seemed that our late patient had long
been "wanted" by the police ON no less
a charge than that of murder. Doubtless
his unwillingness to be removed to a
hospital arose from his persuasion that
he was safer from detection in private
dwelling.
Guilty or not guilty of the crime he
was accused of, it was long before Jim
and ceased to speak Of him. Nor, in
turn, had he forgotten us, We were
handsomely remembered in the will he
had executed before the operation. But
we will never again undertake the care
