Eine-Bark Roats.

Everybody is familiar with the birch
bark boats, or canoes, of the American
Indians, but the fact is not SO well
known that some of the aboriginal in
habitants of the western shore of this
continent were accustomed to make
boats of pine bark. A model of one of
these in the Smithsonian museum serv-
ed recently as text for talk by Prof.
Otis L. Mason on the evolution of boats.
The boat in question was, he said, an
exact representation of those in use
along certain parts of the Columbia
river. 1t is made of the whole skin of
a pine tree; which is turned inside out,
the ends being cut obliquely and drawn
together in such manner that the ves-
sci has a pointed ram under water at
each end. Directly across the Pacific
ocean from the Columbia is the River
Amur in Asia. Prof. Mason thinks the
fact that similar boats are found on the
Amur may have bearing on the prob
lem of former emigrati ton from Asia to
North America.

If It's unlawful what am doing, the
Yankees are to blame for it. They
made me beggar! But you. stay with
me just little while, you've no idea
how lonely it is for an old man to be
cut off from everybody"
The invitation was given so heartily
that the young Elglishman decided to
accept it. He had come over to this
country to study the land and its peo-
pie, and here was good chance to see
a phase of life and kind of people of
whom he had read in books.
The days stretched into weeks, the
weeks into months, and still the En-
glishman tarried. His days were spent
in riding about the country, hunting,
fishing and exploring the beauties Of
the Cumberland hills. On one of these
exploring tours he came upon little
distillery built close to the edge of a
mountain brook. 1t was here the old
man brewed his "'moonshine" whisky.
The arrangements were primitive and
quaint, but the Englishman never dis
cussed his discovery with his old
friend. At night he and his friend ate
their frugal meal. smoked their pipes
and reveled in the loyeliness of the
southern night. The old warrior told
of the days before the war when the
country teemed with prosperity, and

ignorant or by those who had purpose
to accomplish. Chivalry was born in

Now and then he may forget himself in
the presence of man, but never in the
presence of a woman.

the mother condition was still regard
ed as dangerous, and she must not even
suspect the sad blow which had fallen
on the daughter. Uncle Ben suspected
some calamity from the grief in Ma
rian's face, and from the fact that Mrs.
Baxter lodged out and had a word with
Captain Wyle at the gate before he rode
away. He must have repeated the ca
nard about the death of Kenton, for the
woman's face betrayed great satisfac
tion as she returned to the house. There
was smaller house to lodge the ''help, !"
but just then Uncle Ben had it all to

men had met by accident at crossing
of country roads, and being both bound
for Glace City, in Virginia, they agreed
to make the journey together. The
conversation, anything but lively at
any time, had ceased altogether. The
New Yorker answered his companion s
questions curtly, and lapsed into 81
lence before they had travelled a mile
together.
"There is house at last! It's as far
as we can go to-day" suddenly ex-
claimed the American. "An old negro

ramshackle house, the roof of which

cent enough to give shelter to a horse.
but there's nothing else to be done1
The two riders turned their horses
into the narrow lane that led toward
the house. When they were within 20
feet of it the door was suddenly thrown
open and on the porch in front of it ap-
peared the tall, gaunt form of an old
man, with flowing beard and snow
white hair. His right hand clutched
the stock of Winchester rifle.
Gentlemen" he cried-and there
was threat in his voice-"let me in
troduce you to my Winchester! The
first who makes a motion toward his
hip pocket will find himself with hole
in his ribs large enough to give pas

The Englishman laughed heartily at
this reception. 'What queer people

argument with your

"Yes, my good old friend, just over

"Your mate there looks like a tax

ders, while the New Yorker introduced
himself to the owner of the Winches-
ter. my name is George Deadmore., .
he said, I'm land agent from New
York. Other peoples business doesn't

and was about to send the intruders
away, when Kentucky hospitality pre-.
vailed.

The guests dismounted and the hosts
caught the reins of the horses and led
them to the little shed in the rear of
the house. There he unsaddled and fed
them. When he. came back he con-
Quoted his guests into the house. and
invited them to frugal meal. con-

Next morning the Englishman awoke
to find himself alone. His companion
had departed before daylight.

Marian watched him as he strobe
bravely down the frozen highway and
vanished into the dusk of evening. and
as she turned away fresh tears came to
her eyes, and she murmured:
Brave and unselfish old slave! God
grant that he may bring a message to

every hour or so, the pair held their
course for the Alleghanies and about 8

sleep. 1t was still raining, and the
night was raw and cold. but they crept
into the thick bushes and were soon fast
asleep. 1t was 8 o'clock before they
opened their eyes and then only because

CAMPlNG OUT.

| Now that midsummer days are here,
And hours are long and skies are clear,
'Tis time to leave the crowded street
| For distant woodlands cool and sweet;
There pitch the tent near by a brook
| Where trout swim hungry for the hook,
There loaf and hunt and read, and live
In manner plain and primatiye,
Enjoying Nature as a bird
Enjoys her-every sign and word
Interpreting, until the heart,
| OF Natures own becomes a part.
! OF rugged rocks an oven rude
| The hearthstone of your solitude
Suffices well to cook your fish
And lend flavor to the dish;
| o. yet to send the fragrance up
OF spicy coffee from the cup.
What joy to waken with the sun
And find the fresh grass oyerspun
| With webs of gOssamer, and see
The sunbeams steal from tree to tree,
Dropping their gold along the way,
To guide the shining feet Of Day!
Then when the breakfast hour is DER.
To loiter down along the shore
With rod and line, and tempt The trout
From his retreat to venture out!
Perchance book would best beguile-
Then lie down where the sun can smile
Upon you reading, prose or rhyme,
The wood-stream singing all the time,
Above you birds, around you flowers
Needless be now the flying hours!
Or distant mountain heights may urge
Your feet to find the dizzy verge
Whence, looking forth, the world you
know
Liet outstretched in Gods hand below,
And you, the master of it all,
A speck infinitesimal!
All, it is good just once to see
The finite with Infnity-
To see and feel and comprehend
A little the AlI-loving Friend!
Now back again. the fires are lit
And round the blaze the comrades sit
Exchanging stories, weaving tales,
Until Invention flags and fails.
Then Slumber calls them to recline
On fragrant pillows of the pine
To sleep and dream and wake to be
Grateful to God who made them free!

How the se,.es Fall A.,een

1t is asserted, though we do not
know the authority on which the as
sertion is based, that sour senses fall
asleep in definite order. First the
eyelids close, and the sense of sight is
lost, then the sense of taste follows,
and after that smell, hearing and
touch go in the order named. Touch
is said to be the lightest sleeper of all,
and the first to be aroused. The reader
who is curious about such things might
test the accuracy of these statements
by experiments with his friends.
