DIR. BRoUGHToN AT PORTSMOUTH,

Rev. Dr. Broughton, of the Calvary
Baptist Church, Roanoke, Va, the pas
tor, the evangelist, the lecturer, came TO
our city yesterday and lectured for us at
the South Street Baptist Church last
night on Folks, or the Living Museum
of Human Curiosities' AS might be di-
vined by anyone knowing the friendly
feellng here toward the speaker, he had a
good house, Notwithstanding it was prac-
tlcally not known until yesterday that he
would lecture for us last night.
About the lecture. We Shall not even
attempt to give the substance of il. for
the reason that it was all substance:
hence we desire to congratulate all who
heard it, and condole with all those who
missed it, He held his auditors from
start to finish, and was frequently nc.
corded hearty applause, and, notwith-
standing the fact that he spoke for more
than an hour, we believe that all were
heartily sorry to hear him close.
About the man. DR.. Broughton is not
only an observer of folks but a dis
cerner of character, and readily groups
1t into classes. And while he has an ac-
curate sense of the absurd and the ridicu
lous, and readily observes and recognizes
the bad, he is not pessimist, but sees
and lauds and appreciates the good AS
Well He has the advantage of an ex-
perience and observation equalled by few.

Tho Eskimo Character.

We found the Innuits very quick-wit-
ted and intelligent; with unvarying
good nature and keen appreciation Of
fun, they proved themselves compan-
ionable in spite of their uncleanliness.
Their skill manifested itself in many
ways during these long excursions.
Later in the year il showed itself, on
one occasion, in particularly interest
ing way. Having found it necessary to
cross glacier on hunting trip, our
Innuits paused at the edge and halloed
to ascertain the direction Of the echo.
On the return a storm of snow and fog
had obliterated all landmarks, but the
Innuits easily found the way by means
of the echo.
There was always a charm in their
strange melodies, and particularly at
night, as they slowly rowed along the
black waters among ghostly, beautiful
icebergs, under the starless sky. And
such melodies! They were like the
signing. of the winds, low, contented,
full-breathed, yet with an undertone Of
sadness. But at times their songs are
vehement with Joy and action.-Franle
Wilbert Stokes, in Century. q

Jay That Lighted Matches.

A dangerous requirement of pet
blue jay is told about in the American
Naturalist by James Newton Basket, of
Mexico, Mo. The blue jay referred to
somehow learned that parlor, or pop
ping matches, would make delightful
sputter and flame IL properly manip-
ulated. The bird was in the habit of
beating much of its food against some
hard substance, perhaps for the purpose
of breaking or softening 1t. 1t proha-
bly, treated one of the parlor matches in
this way one day, and SO learned that
they made noise. When match was
given TO it 1t would hop on chair
round and strike the illuminate against
the wood, end on, repeatingi 1t rapidly
till the head was ignited; then 1t would
throw it away and watch the flame.
