Eskimo Astronomy.

The polar Inhabitants of the north
ern regions visited by Lieut.. Peary
have definite but limited ideas Of as
tronomy. In writing Of them Peary
says that they recognize the Great
Dipper" az a herd of reindeer: the
three triangular stars of Cassiopea are
the three stones supporting a celestial
stone lamp; the Pleiades are a team
Of dogs In pursuit of a bear; the three
glittering brilliants in the belt Of Orion
are the steps cut by some celestial
Eskimo in a steep snow-bank to enable
him to climb to the top.
Gemini are two stones In the entrance
to an igloo; Arcturus and Aldebaran
are personifications, and the moon and
sun are q maiden and her pursuing
lover.
These Eskimos estimate time by the
movements Of the stars as well as by
the position Of the sun and yet, less
observant than were the Arab shep-
herds. they have not noticed that one
star Is the center about which all the
others move, nor have they set apart
the planets, which to them are simply
large stars. Whether this is due to the
fact that the movements of stars can
be observed during only about three
months in the year, it Is impossible te
say.

1t is said that Mr.. Disraeh, Lord
Beaconsfield, was always fond Of re-
ferring to his Hebrew ancestry. He
was proud of 1t, and his incidental
illusions to 1t show that he had it con

One day. when talking with n number
of people. he was dellghting them by
"reminiscences Of famous persons he
had known In years gone by. One OF
them was Count D'Orsay, and some
one asked question as to bis person

At the same party, he asked Sir John

''Thirty-flve years." was the answer.

painter can picture the halo Of deep an
tiquity hanging over the city. The SOL
emnity Of its age, the grandeur of its as
sociations, cut a niche in the memory
which time does not efface. 1t Is the ideal
city of all others for the celebration of
the Easter festival. Christ stood upon
the hill of Calvary 1.S63 years ago and
looked down upon the town where he had
labored and been betrayed. That was the
first Easter morning, and since then,
every year, kind and loving hands, repre-
senting countless generations Of all times,
all creeds and all raceS have left some
token In honor Of the day At the numer
GUS places made sacred BY His presence.
On Easter day tbe rsputea tomb OF
Christ in the Church Of tbs Holy Sepul,

used all over The world. The Mount OF

if we knew its ancient name it would

Private Zach Dowty belonged to q
New Orleans cavalry company attach
ed to Gen. Johnston's army, and Is de-
scribed by the New Orleans Times
Democrat as "a genial open-hearted.
harum-scarum fellow, who was the life
of the camp, foremost In all schemes Of
fun, and always ready for duty" Such
men always have plenty Of adventures
to orelate, and Private Dowty was no ex-
ception to the rule. One of the best Of
his stories, one that he used often to
tell, was of an incident that happened
while on duty at Gen. JOhnstOn's head
quarters.
1t was a dull time, and he was pass
Ing the forenoon In repairing his sad
die and brushing up his equipments
generally. While thus engaged, he
heard the approach Of footsteps, and
saw through the corner Of his eye what
appeared to him to be a well-to-do
Tennessee farmer, dressed In q gray
suit, and wearing a broad-brimmed
slouch hat The stranger stopped, and
inquired for the headquarters Of Gen
Johnston.
Zach was Just then tugging at the
straps of his saddle, and after a mo-
ment answered grufliy:
Here they are"
The stranger, in a quiet tone, asked
II Gen. Johnston was in, and getting no
swer-Zach being n the moment alb
sorbed In his work-repeated the ques-
ton. That made Zach little impa.
tient.
"Yes." he answered, shortly, "but yor
can't see him"
All this time Zach had not looked al
the stranger, but was now startled by
hearing him say in a tone Of command:
Courier, tell Gen. Johnston that
President Davis desires to see him."
The amateur saddler looked up, and
sure enough, there stood the President
Of the Southern Confederacy.
"Yes, sir; yes. SIR" said Zach, "this
way, sir" and he hastened on before
Mr.. Davis into Gen. Johnston's pres
ence, and then made a hasty exit as
best he could.
1t was bad business. he thought, and
he hastened to his captain and played
sick, so as to have some one else de-
tailed to take his place at headQuar-
ters. He kept out of sight till the WIS.,
itor had gone, and was greatly relieved
when II became apparent that President
Davis had made no complaint to Gen.
Johnston about the rude treatment he
had received
