vision to the path of light before the
open door, but above theroaring of the
storm he heard the cry:
Help! For Gods sake, 'help!"
"Stay here and keep the door open!"
That is what Sim Belden shouted as
he buttoned up his fur coat and leaped
down the snow-piled trail.
Pedro had no conception of the or
binary measure of time, but 1t seemed
to him that at least a. day had passed
since the white man had disappeared.
At length his heart was gladdened AS
he saw him breasting through the snow
and bearing another white man in his
arms.
Sim Belden staggered into the cabin,
and laid his burden on the fur covered
floor, and the instant he saw the face
of the unconscious man, he dropped on
his knees. took the head in his arms
and cried out as he kissed the face so
like his own.
Jack! Jack! o God. it's Jack! Do
you hear me? Lookup! Here's Sim!
Here's Sim, asking you on his knees
to forgive him!"
Sim and Pedro stripped off the wet
clothes. rubbed the white form till the
glow of life came back. and placed him
In bunk and wrapped him in furs.
BY the time a steam punch was
ready Jack Belden rubbed his eyes and
looked about him. Then from the
bunk two white arms were extended.
and he sobbed:
After years of seeking I've found
you. Sim!"
There is nothing more sacred than
the tears of honest, strong men.
Pedro looked on In wonder. and.
though he could not understand what
was said, he realized that one had come
who was nearer to his guardians heart
than himself, but he felt no pangs of
jealousy.
After time Jack Belden felt strong
enough to sit up. He looked at his
watch, and seeing that II was after
midnight, he reached out his hand to
his brother and said:
"A happy New Year, dear Siml" And
still holding his brothers hand, Jack
told the sxry of his three years search
and how only that afternoon he had

Why Grant Never Swore.

General Horace Porter, in his Cam
paigning With Grant" in the Century,
says: While sitting with him at the
campfire late one night, after everyone
else had gone to bed, I said to him:
"GeneraIfss seems singular that you
have gone through all the rough and
tumble of army service and frontier
life and have never been provoked into
swearing. I have never heard you
utter an oath or use an imprecation."
"Well, somehow or other, never
learned to swear, he replied. ''When
boy I seemed to have an aversion to
it, and when I became man saw the
folly of it. have always noticed, too,
that swearing helps to rouse a mans
anger; and when man flies into q
passion his adversary who keeps cool
always gets the better Of him. In
fact I could never see the use of
swearing. I think it is the case with
many people who swear excessively
that it is mere habit, and that they
do not mean to be profane; but to say
the least, it is great waste Of time. :"
His example in this respect was once
quoted in my hearing bya member Of
the Christian commission to team
ster in the Army Of the Potomac in
the hope of lessening the volume of
rare oaths with which he was italiciz-
ing his language, and upon which he
seemed to be placing his main reliance
in moving his mule-team out of mud
hole. The only reply evoked from
him was: ''Then thar's one thing
sart'in' the old man never druv
mules"

A Japanese Tea Myth.

The origin Of tea, according to
japanese tradition, was at natural as
it is credible. Prince Darma, in tie
remote ages, was holy Asiatic who
spent day and night in meditations
upon the Infinite and, like the Shoe
black in '"The Dweller on the Tires
hold" all things that begin with a
capital letter. One night his ecstasy
was interrupted by sleep. On awaken
ing he was so dismayed at his infrmity
that he tore off his eyelids, and flung
them (says the writer from whom
comes this version of the legend) on
the ground. The spectacle Of holy
Asiatic flinging his eyelids on the
ground deserves the notice of an his
torical painter. On visiting the spot
later Prince Darma found that his eye
lids had grown into shrub. He had
the wit to take some of the leaves and
pour boiling water upon them. Ever
after by simply drinking little of the
precious liquid he was able to keep
sleep at bay and pursue his thoughts
with added zest and profit.

Elephant Flesh a Delicacy,

The flesh of the elephant is eaten in
its entirety by several Of the African
tribes. The tools used are the assegai
and Ratchet. The rough outer skin is
first removed in large sheets. Beneath
this is a subcuticle, pliable mem
brane, from which the natives make
watershins. The elephant yields large
quantities Of fat, used in cooking the
natives sun-dried biltong, Or dried
strips Of elephants flesh, and also in
the preparation of vegetables. African
explorers of the Caucasian race agree
that one part of the elephants car
cass, when properly cooked, is a sue
culent dish that will regale the most
delicate taste. This part, very strange
ly, is the first joint of the leg below
| the knee, which one would suppose to
be the toughest portion of the animal.
To prepare the joint hole three feet
deep is dug in the earth andathe sides
of it are baked hard by means Z %fge
live Goals. Most Of the Goals are fhen
taken out and the elephants foot is
placed in the rude oven. The hole is
then filled with dirt, tightly packed
md blazing fire is built on top, which
is kept'replenished for three hours.
The foot is thus evenly baked, and
when done, instead Of strong, tough
meat fibre, it is Of a gelatinous con-
sistency that may be eaten with q
spoon.-Philadelphia Lancet.

Drip Coffee the Best.

So many people have an idea that
coffee has to be boiled to get the
strength out of the crushed berry. On
the contrary, boiling gives the liquid
peculiar bitter taste that is foreign
to really good coffee. Besides that it
ruins the flavor. Drip coffee is
supposed to be the very best coffee
that is made, but even that is spoiled
sometimes by letting the liquid boil
up over the strainer, thus loosening
the oil that makes the coffee bitter. If
you have not a regular coffee strainer,
make three or four cheese-cloth bags
of a size large enough to accommodate
the amount of coffee that you use, al
lowing for swelling Of the grain and
for drawstring to tie. Wash and
boil the bags after making, SO that not
taste CT the cloth remains in them.
Fill the bag with the coffee, and have
in a teakettle, boiling hot, exactly the
amount of water you want to use for
your coffee. Rinse the coffee pot out
with hot water, and put the bag in the
pot and pour over it the boiling water.
Place the pot on the back Of the stove,
where it will remain just below the
bubbling period for at least ten min
utes. The result will give you clear,
strong coffee; you need not use a
grain more than for the old way-and
it will not hurt the weakest digestion.
Neither is egg necessary. Empty the
bag as soon as the meal is over, as
there will be no more good in the cof-
fee, and wash the bag in hot water;
shake free Of all the grounds and hang
in the air to dry. Have at least four
such bags, and keep them and the cof-
fee pot scrupulously clean. Washing

was Won der Madliern with his tame
leopard. Baron Won der Madllern,
when young man, was several years
German consul in Egypt. While there
an Arab friend presented him with a
young leopard. It was only a. few days
old, its eyes not open yet. The young
baron determined to make pet OF the
leopard and train and treat him like
a dog.
The leopard was never confined in
cage, but was always allowed full
liberty, and was we'll fed and petted.
He slept on comfortable rug in his
masters room, and if the night was
cold, crept upon its masters bed and
shared it with him. Through the day,
indoors and out, he followed Won der
Madliern about like faithful dog and
displayed dogs affection for his
master.
He grew by and by into handsome
creature, one Of the largest of his
species, and finely marked. When he
had been in Won der Madliern's pos
session about two years the baron was
recalled to Berlin, and took the animal
back with him. In Berlin the leopard
occupied the same place in his masters
house that he had done before, and
followed the baron about the streets

At,frst the sight OF the creature
stalking solemnly along beside the
man created quite a sensation in the
city, and people crowded to see them
pass. But it grew to be an everyday
matter, which only attracted occasional
notice from strangers or children.
The animal lived to be about Is
years old, and died much lamented by
all who knew him. His story seems
to prove that the wildness Of such ami
mails is only slightly inherited, and
that their better nature may usually
