HOW \ FOOLISH PRINCE LEARNED
4 LESSON.
A LESSON.


\ LESSON.
There was once a young prince who
could not bear he sight OF spider or fly.
''They are such ugly creatures that can
not look at them," he said. They are
never OF any use, and cannot understand
why they were ever made. | should like
nothing better Than to know that every
one of them had been killed.
In the course of time this young prince
became man and was made general in
the kings army. One day a great battle
was fought, and he was SO beset by his
enemies that he was obliged to hide him
self in thick wood. Being very tired,
he lay down in the shade of a spreading
oak and fell asleep.
While he was thus sleeping under the
oak, he was discovered by one of his
enemies, who crept quietly towards him,
intending to kill him. But just at that
moment a horsehy bit the prince on the
hand and awakened him. He sprang up
quickly, and seeing his danger, drew
his sword to defend himself. But the
coward who had hoped to take him by
surprise turned about and ran away as
fast as his legs could carry him.
Several days after this, the prince, be-
ing still closely followed by his enemies,
concealed himself in cave not far from
the seashore. He had been there but a
short time when spider came out from
under rock and wove it's web across the
cave door.
Even before the spider had left off its
weaving, several soldiers who were
searching for the prince passed that way.
"See this cave!" cried one. VERY
likely he has hidden himself Within let
US stop and see
"Nonsense.n said the others. "Do you
not see the spiders web across the door?
How could he 90 inside without brus hing
that down?n
And without another word they all
hurried on and made no stop
The prince, who had heard their words,
raised his hands toward heaven and
thanked the Maker of all things for his
goodness Afterwards, when he had
driven all his enemies out OF the country,
he was fond Of telling everybody OF the
lesson which he had learned from the
spider and the fly And never, so long as
he lived, could he bear to see any one
hurt he smallest creature.

modesty in a female never fails to COM
mand in our sex. Thus regarded she had
always been freely admitted into the
ships, the quarter masters at the gang
way never thinking of refusing entrance
to ''the wise woman" as they called her.
Whenever any explanation was necessary
between the Esquimaux and us, Iligluik
was sent for as an interpreter; informa-
tion was chiefly obtained through her,
and she thus found herself rising into a
degree of consequence to which, but for
us, she could never have attained.
Notwithstanding a more than ordinary
share of good sense on her part, it will
not therefore be wondered at if she be-
came giddy with her exaltation-con-
sdered her admission into the ships and
most of the cabins no longer an in
dulgence, but a right-ceased to return
the slightest acknowledgment for any
Kindness or presents-became listless and
inattentive in unraveling the meaning
OF our questions, and careless whether
her answers conveyed the information we
desired. In short, Iligluik in February
and liigluik in April were eonfessedly
very different persons; and it was at last
amusing to recollect, though not very
easy to persuade ones self, that the
woman who now sat demurely in q chair,
50 confidently expecting the notice of
those around her, and she who had at
first, with eager and wild delight, assisted
in cutting snow for the building of hut,
and with the hope of obtaining a single
needle, were actually one and the same
individual.
No kind of distress can deprive the Es
quimauX of their cheerful temper and
when severely pinched with hunger and
cold, and wholly deprived for days to-
gether both of food and fuel-a situation
to which they are very frequently re-
duced. Yet no calamity of this kind can
teach them to be provident, or to take
the least thought for the morrow; with
them indeed, it is always either feast or
a famine. The enormous quantity of
animal food-they have no other-which
they devour at a time is almost incred-
ible. The quantity of meat which they
procure between the first of October and
the first of April was sufficient to have
furnished about double the number Of
working people, who were moderate
eaters, and had any idea Of providing for
future day; but to individuals who can
demolish four or five pounds at sitting,
and at least ten in the course of day.
and who never beStOW thought on to-
morrow, at least with the view to provide
for it by economy, there is scarcely any
supply which could secure them from
occasional scarcity. 1t is highly probable
that the alternate feasting and fasting to
which the gluttony and improvidence Of
these people so constantly subject them,
may have occasioned many of the COM
plants that proved fatal during the
winter; and on this account we hardly
knew whether to rejoice or not at the
general success of their fishery.

GRADE N-LESSON VIII.
THE ESQUIMAUX.

The Esquimaux exhibit strange mix
ture of intellect and dullness, of cunning
and simplicity, OF ingenuity and stupid
ity; few of them could count beyond five
and not one of them beyond ten, nor
could any of them speak a dozen words
of English after constant intercourse OF
seventeen or eighteen months; yet many
of them could initiate the manners and
actions OF the strangers, and were on the
whole excellent mimics.
One woman in particular, of the name
of Iligluik, very soon attracted the atten-
ton of our voyagers by he various traits
OF that superiority Of understanding for
which, it was found, she was remarka bly,
distingu ished and held in esteem even
by her own countrymen. She had a
great fondness for singing, possessed q
soft voice and an excellent ear; but, like
anoth her great singer in different society,
"there was scarcely any stopping her
when she once begun" she would listen,
! however, for hours together to the tunes
played on the organ.
/ Her superior intelligence was perhaps
most conspicuous in the readiness with
which she was made to comprehend the
manner of laying down on paper the geo
graphical outline OF that part of the coast
of America she was acquainted with, and
the neig boring islands, so as to construct
a chart. At first it was found difficult to
make her comprehend what was meant !;
but when Capt. Parry had discovered that
the Esquimaux were already acquainted
with the four cardinal points OF he com
pass, for which they had appropriate
names, he drew them on sheet of paper,
/ togeth her with that portion of the coast
/ Just discovered which was opposite Win
/ ter island, here then they We're, and of
| course well known to her.
! We desired her to complete the rest,
and to do it mikkee (small), when with a
! countenance of the most grave attention
and peculiar Intelligence, she drew the
| coast Of the continent beyond her own
country, as lying nearly north from the
Winter island The most important
part still remained, and it would have
amused an unconcerned looker-on to have
observed the anxiety aud suspense de-
picted on the countenance of our part of
the group till this was accomplished, for
never were the tracings of pencil
watched with more eager solicitude
| Our surprise and satisfaction may there
fore in some degree be imagined when,
without taking it from the paper
Iligluik brought the continental coast
short round to he westward, and after
wards to the S. 5. w, so as to come with
in three OF four days journey of Repu'se
| bay.
| am, however, compelled to acknow-
ledge, that in proportion as the superior
understanding of tins extraordinary
woman became more and more developed
her head-for what female head is in
different to praise?- began to be turned
by the general attention and nun berless
presents she received. The superior
decency and even modesty of her be-
havior had combined, with her int
Ieetual qualities, to raise her in our T.,
nation far above her companions; ana 4

Persons who have a naturally oilv
skin can obtain more relief from svs-
tematic bathing. followed by the use
of some alcoholic bathing mixture. than
in any other way. Battle as often as
twice week, using an abundance of
pure soap, little borax and bath
ing brush or mitten. After this warm
soapv bath for the purpose of cleans
ing the pores rinse off the skin thor
oughly with cooler water, and finally
sponge 1t off with cold water, in which
about q tablespoonful of bathing mix
ture is used to every gallon of water
Dry the skin thoroughly with soft
towels and use friction towels until the
skin is glowing with heat. Two table

OF boraX for large bathful OF water.
The simplest bathing mixture is made
by diluting pint bottle of lavender
violet or colosn water with twice the
amount Of 30 Ier cent. alcohol
When the skin is naturally dry bath
ing once q week is sufficient and no
boraX should be used. or any bathing
mixture. Only enough soap should be
used for cleanliness. and this should be
pure white CASTLE, or some other very
simple soap. After thoroughly rinsing
the skin little pure olive or cocoanut
butter may be rubbed over the pores,
but only enough to be absorbed by the
skin. This oily bath is very agreeable
and soothing TO some skins. An au-
