MRs. peARY WAS FRIGHTENED.
1t Was When She Went Hunting walrus
With Her Husband.

Mrs. Peary, wife of the famous arctic
explorer, declares she has had more
than enough Of the polar regions, and is
determined that her husband shall never
repeat his travels in those frigid lands.
When asked what experience stands out
most prominently in connection with
the unusual life while exploring, Mrs
Peary, without moments hesitation,
said "Our hunting the walrus. Ii is
the only occasion in my life when Twas
so frightened that would have vel
coined death as a relief. We were out in
a boat with DIR. Cook, Mat, and some
natives. Mr.. Peary had broken his leg,
but was steering the boat, his leg, in
spljnts. stretched out before him. We
saw the walrus coming toward US, and
when the natives said. Shoot at them.
we took our rifles and did so.
"Then followed a scene too terrible
for words. The bullets had only entered
the hides Of these animals, enough TO
infuriate them, and they came forward
enraeed and with but one determination
to turn over the boat. They placed
their long tusks ON the gunwale and at
tempted to tip us out. crouched AT the
bottom Of the skiff, loading the rifles.
SO that the men would not have TO wait
second. The sea was crimson with
their blood, and for few moments i
did not know whether should be shot
by the excited men or drowned by the
walruses. We killed about II, and have
some Of the tusks. But don't let me talk
about it any more. All that is past. -

CARVED IN TIE BARK.
4 Clump of Trees Upon Which Appeared
the Names OF Many Soldiers.

ST don't quite understand, and / new
or could" said an observer, what
prompts people TO write their names in
public places. Trees have always been
favorite objects upon which TO carve
names, and the smooth bark of the
beech offers a field most inviting TO the
knife of the carver i saw once "a bunch
of beech trees upon which thousands OF
names had been cut. This was III Viz
ginia, close by the left bank Of the
James river. A ravine made back from
the river, and at the head of this ravine
there was a spring. Around the spring
was this Chimp of beech trees
"The names carved ON these trees
were those of soldiers who had been en-
camped thereabout in the time Of the
civil war and who had come 10 this
spring for water. 1t was in 1879 that
saw them, so that they must have been
there then at least 4 years. They had
probably been there longer. About
third of the names were still leeible.
Many of them were the names OF men
of Pennsylvania regiments. Those that
had become illegible were mainly those
that had been carved ON smaller trees.
"There was one big tree that had up
ON it, should think, 500 names. They
encircled it for 20 feet mp from the
ground. 1t seemed as if some OF those
among the highest must have been cut
by men who swung down from the first
branch. and one could imagine that
men stood Oil one another's shoulders 10
reach sbove the names already carved
by men standing ON the ground, on that
perhaps there was led mp beside the
tree horse upon whose back the carver
stood.
"These names may have been carved,
every ono Of them. simply as pastime.
and yet IL seemed somehow as though
this was a case in which the carving
might have been done in something
more than a merely idle spirit. ~ New
York sun.

rhe Daughter.

The superior wisdom Of the feminine
miud is shown in the fact that the
mother never rebels against her daugh-
ter's guidance. She is the first to dis
cover the young woman's wisdom and
she enjoys the security and sense Of rest
which come from feeling that she has
some one to depend upon, some one to
think and plan for her. She regards IL
as providential that as the husband of
her youth grows careless, as his judg-
ment becomes untrustworthy as to de-
tails, as he grows inclined to shirk tho
lill.a questions which arise in the con-
duct of the household. the daughter
quite naturally takes up the neglected
duties and assumes the management OF
the affairs. OF course 1t is often diff
cult for the mother to live mp to the
course the daughter marks out She
sometimes finds herself deficient in the
strength or wisdom the daughter expects
from her. But this is not real trouble,
for under II all is the comforting sense
Of being guided by strong will. the
sense of being free from responsibility
fer the social and domestic welfare OF
the family is filing the young woman's
soul with satisfaction. fiattering her
with the consciousness Of hef great use
fulness, making her realize her impor-
tanes In the world. --Kansas otty Star.

short Editorials In England.

Yes, there is undoubtedly a strong
taste just now for books Of fiction made
up of short stories-sketches. they might
even be called. 1t is part Of the spirit Of
the time, which is fond Of brevity In
every form. Just see how the newspa-
pers have been affected by this mode.
In my early days the London Times
used to thunder in leaders column and
a half long; now half column often
suffices. I think I may claim to be the
pioneer in cutting down the length Of
editorials in England. But in the mat
ter of fiction it seems evident to me
that the mental processes which pro-
duce sustained, complete and logically
elaborate novel are very different from
those employed in the writing Of col
lection of episodes, even though they be
Of a common type as regards scene and
characters. Some Of your American
writers do this sort of work admirably.
