II Is quite the custom to speak Of the
whites who were the first to go among
the Indian tribes Of the West MS "pio-
neers Of civilization" The "civiliza.
tion" was not always Of perfectly civ
II order. The officials and traders Of
the old Hudson Bay Company used to
claim credit for this rough pioneering.
Ii we may Judge from the records of
the company, their work was thorough
In its way, but the way was hard one.
Some entries in the nccount-books Of
the company, made more than hun
dred years ago, viii show how the civ
ilizing was being done.
Dec. 81, 1705. Served out quart Of
rum per man; the evening spent in in
nocent mirth and jollity.
Jan. l, 1708. All the Indians drunk
about the place; great trouble In keep
ing order"
Two entries of an earlier date, and
from station still farther north, show
what were the amenities of intercourse
between the ''civilizeu' and savage
races when questions of right and Jus
tlce were In the way of settlement. The
first entry reads:
The Company's cook, a lad OF 1G,
having been carried off by the Esqui-
maux. three out of a party of six pass
Ing Esquimaux were seized as hostages
until the return of the boy"
Five years later another brief entry
shows how this transaction was finally
closed:
Had n row with the three Esqul-
maux detained. They were shot, and
their ears picked in rum and sent ou
to their tribe, to show them what had
happened"

Screened from Heat and Light.

The bottom of the deep sea Is, in.
deed, entirely screened from tho
warmth and light of the sun by the In.
tervening mass Of water. On land we
often experience that the Intervention
of clouds, which are simply steam OF
divided masses Of water, results In
gloom and a fall OF temperature. This
effect Is infinitely more intense at the
bottom of the ocean, between which
and the sun there is interposed, not
only for day or two, layer of cloud,
out, for ever, volume of water often
several miles thick. Even at fifteen
fathoms from the surface the light Is
much subdued, producing more the ap.
pearance of pale moonlight than of sun.
light, and experiments made with very
sensitive Photographs plates in the
clear water of the Lake of Geneva have
shown that sunlight does not penetrate
to greater depth there than 155
fathoms. In the ocean and in the trop-
les, where sunshine is most intense, no
light penetrates beyond a depth of 200
fathoms. Below this all is dark.
The suns heat, like its light, is also
cut off from the ocean depths in the
same manner. A cousin of the writer
found that In the bay OF Bengal there is
fall Of temperature amounting to
about 1 degree Fahrenheit for every
ten fathoms from the surface that the
thermometer sinks. At 200 fathoms he
has found that the thermometer stands
all the year round at 55 degrees Fahr.
enheit; and at 1000 fathoms It con.
stantly registers about 30 degrees
Fahrenheit, or close upon freezing
point. 1t is curious to note that as we
rise in the air, In ballooning or on
moantain slopes, the temperature falls
as we rise, and the same occurs as we
dive into the depths of the ocean. But
In mines the heat increases as we de-
scend.-Chambers' journal.

Smart Young Sailors.

"The boys responded with surprising
auickness and good order. This is the

of a statement made by Commander
Field Of the schoolshlp st. Mary's at

his ship.
On the night of the 23d of February.
after the boys on the st. Mary's had

wharf Mt the foot of which the ship
lies. In New York. that mnn had
fallen overheard in the North River.
The boys turned out, lowered boat.

Just as the man rose for the last time

The next moment would have been
the mans last, and the least delay on
the part of the handy boys would have
been fatal to him. But If they had been
capable of delays they would not have
been good sailors. and they made no
delays and did no bungling.
The school-ship on which these boys
acted so bravely and promptly this
time, and have acted as promptly and
effectually before, is, though command

Unworthy Books.

A healthy body undoubtedly con.
duces to n healthy condition of the
mind, but 1t does not produce intellect
ual activity. The only way to accom-.
plish intellectual results is to work the
mind. Hard work of any kind is never
easy--it may be satisfying and exhilar
ating, but not easy. When you really
work your brain you know 1t; even to
concentrate your attention to begin q
task Is a serious effort. Many wise
workers say that when you have
learned the power Of concentration you
have solved the problem Of effective in.
tellectual work. That Is the first stun.
bling-block that the person who does
not habitually read books, even fol
recreation, encounters. 1t Is so difficult
to pin your attention to the printed
page for you think Of things nearer AT
hand with which you are familiar. But
q sensational novel captures the uneasy
attention sooner than more thoughtful
books; therefore, people of unframed
minds are the greatest devourers of un.
worthy books.-Ladies' Home Journal
