mother or father happens to be linger-

old wnlrus is more than twice the size

and catches the young walrus as best
he can. Sometimes he crawls up on

peeping over the edges. Presently
the young walrus comes up out of the
water to bask on rock or a cake of
ice. This is Mr.. Bears chance. He
rolls heavy stone to the edge of the
cliff and tumbles it over. If it strikes
its mark the bear has his dinner ready
whenever he wants to eat it. Few

But the Eskimo dogs have their
faults. Like many boys they are over

Consequently they have to be watched
closely or they will attack and devour

bacon, which must be hung up out of

ALASKA FISH.
They Are Used for Food, Light and
Hent by the Natives.

A species of fish abounds in the
waters of Alaska that are useful both
us food and fuel. They are taken in
Immense quantities with nets and lines.
After being caught they are dried and
stored away until the long winter
months arrive, when 1t gets dark early
and the Alaskan Is showed up. Here
comes an opportunity for using them.
Not bit at loss for light, the Alas
kan takes one of these dried fish, in
serts its tail into crack I'm his rough
wooden table and lights its nose. The
fish burns with n bright and steady
light of about three candle power, CIV
ing clear, white light and very con-
siderable amount of heat. A fairly
large fish will burn for period of three
hours.
The scientific explanation Is extreme
ly simple. The vertebrae which form
the back bone Of the fish are found to
be largely formed of phosphorus, which
not only causes 1t to ignite easily, but
also accounts for the strength Of the
tame and the heat developed. The sub
stance of the fish, which consists so
largely Of fat, acts as retarder to The
rapid burning of the vertebrae in pre-.
cisely the same way as the tallow acts
In an ordinary candle. The fat of the
FISH is largely composed of stearlne
which Is also the chief chemical constit
uent of the tallow used for making can.
dies, and which gives them their firm.
ness and consistency.
Valuable as Is the fish for its light,
giving properties, it also has Its value
as food. If necessary 1t can be eaten
after having been used as n candle, II
then being simply smoked. or 1t can be
boiled or cooked In the ordinary man.
ner. In whichever way 1t is treated. to
a hungry man 1t serves as n very well
come and appetizing dish. In flavor II
Is much like tho smef, having the
same sweet taste, but is much fatter.
Still another use to which It can be
put Is as a substitute for cod liver OIL
which, IL taken in sufficient quantity,
by aiding the natural heat of the body,
proves an excellent protective against
the severe cold. The oil Is obtained
from the fish by immersing them in
cold water and squeezing, the product
obtained being almost equal in quality
to the genuine cod liver oil.

The Turk and the Irlshman.

Among the Turks employed on the
line of the first Turkish railway was
an old man who had son who was q
soldier in one of the regiments in the
garrison at Rustchuk, whom he had
not seen for good many months.
Each day the regular through train
arrived and left, but the old Turk
never got the chance to run up to
Rustchuk to see his son, for the train
just came and went at the very mo-
ment when he was engaged at his mid
day prayer. And so the days and the
weeks passed, and the old man, be-
tween his devotion to his religious
duties and his love for his son, was
left lamenting the inconvenient ar
rangement of the railway timetable.
One day he contided his trouble to the
Irish foreman, whose name was Flynn.
"Ah! my friend, you do not know
how sore my heart is"
"Well, baba father, what is the
matter with you now?" asked Flynn.
"Well, You see" said the old Turk,
''my son, whom you know, is up at
Rustchuk, and / have not seen him
for so many months, and his mother
is longing to hear something about
him."
''Why don't you get leave, then,
and go to see him?" said the practical
Irishman. nE
'How can II" replied the old man.
doesn't the train come in and go
away while / am at prayers? Allah
wills it that / should not see him."
And so the time continued to pass,
the old man telling Flynn how his
heart was weary to see his son. II
happened one day that, as the train
drew up at the station, the old man
was engaged at his devotions on his
prayer-carpet close to the line, an
empty truck with the door run back
had stopped just opposite where he
was on his knees and his forehead to
the ground, and the Irishman came
along. Seized by sudden inspira-
ton, he caught up the old Turk,
prayer-carpet and all, and landed him
in the truck just as the train moved
off. Two days after the old man came
back by the down train, his face beam
ing with pleasure.
"Ah! my friend" he said, as he saw
Flynn on the platform, ''only for you
/ should never have seen my son. 1t
must have been Allah who put it into
your heart to throw me into the train.
May he reward you for it. t."-Harper's
Round Table.
