Fireplaces OF Snow.

About the end Of January, or when
the sun again appears above the hori-
zon, many families at the two Eskimo
villages near Point Barrow, in Alaska,
leave their winter houses and travel in
land rs or 100 miles to hunt reindeer
along the upper waters of the large riv-
ers that flow into the Arctic ocean east
of the point. Here they encamp in
large, comfortable snow houses, usually
dug out in solid snowdrift. Like all
Eskimo winter houses, these are enter
ed by means of long, low tunnel, and
opening out of one side of this tunnel
there is fireplace built Of snow slabs.
A young man and his wife moved
down from Point Barrow after winter
had set in, and as there was no accom-
modation for them in any Of the per-
manent wooden houses they built them
selves a small hut from blocks of snow
and rooted it over with sailcloth. I
made them visit one afternoon and
found the house pretty cold and uncom-
Portable in spite of the large stone lamp
that was burning all the time. Tho en-
trance tunnel was about ten feet long.
At the left hand as you entered and
close to the door was the FIREPLACE This
was about az feet square and neatly
built of slabs of snow, with smoke
hole at the top and stick stuck across
at the proper height to hang pot ON.
When the first fire is built in such a
fireplace, there is considerable melting
of the surface of the snow, but as soon
as the fire is allowed to go out this
freezes to hard glaze Of ice, which
afterward melts only very little.
These fireplaces are used only for cook
ing, as the Eskimos rely wholly on the
oil lamps for warming the dwelling. -

ABBREVlATIONS.
Timo Saving That May Not BE Productive
of Good Habits.


Of Good Habits.
Our public school children are be-
yond doubt taught nowadays much
that interests and helps them, all of
which was unknown to their parents at
the same age.
And this instruction is given in q
manner to beguile the little people into
the royal road to learning, so that it is
a common occurrence to have "a child
burst into tears at the fear of missing q
day in school. Yet-there must always
be q yet-are they learning refinement
with the rest of the desiccated knowl-
edge offered as their pabulum?
In the very scientific algebra taught
throughout New York state and COM
piled by an instructor in the Normal
school, ''to save time," the highest
common divisor is spoken of as tho
"H. O. d." and the least common null
tiple is the 81. G.. NJ" What time is
saved, and why? And isn't such teach
ing inculcating the vulgarity, later on
in life, which speaks of "photos" and
"bikes" and "buses," if not Of "pants"
and gents
If this system Of abbreviating every
thing is taught in our schools, we will
simply have to stand the jeers of the re-
fined foreigners at oT" being in too
great hurry to make money to even
speak the language properly.
AS great as we are. our fault lies in
this rushing frantically over everything.
What the far seers are trying to teach
is repose-a taking of time for all tho
refined things Of life, and yet, if this
principle of "chopping" the language
is taught at the very base of our life,
the public school, what can be expected
of these children when they grow up?-

Overexert,on In Bicycling.

DR.. Albu recently made an interest
ing communication to the Berlin Med
ical society on certain effects produced
OH the heart and other internal organs
by overexertion in cycle races. His con-
illusions were based Oh the condition Of
IL professional cyclists whom he had
examined both before and after races
lasting from to 80 minutes The strain
thrown ON the heart was shown by well
marked dyspnea and by the strong pull
sation Of the heart and arteries, but the
most remarkable fact was an acute dila-
tation Of the heart, especially Of the left
veDtricle. This dilatation is of course
temporary, disappearing when rest has
been taken and returning ON the occa-
sion of the next race. When overexer-
tion is frequent, this dilatation may be-
come permanent, and in heart that
was previously weak an irreparable in
jury may occur. Another symptom was
the presence Of albumen and casts in the
urine, caused by the kidneys being irri-
tated by the effort of cycling.

"No, ma 'am," said the clerk AZ he
handed her the message.
The young lady drew two heavy lines
beneath the words and said:
"It's awfully good of you to let'me
do that. It will please Charlie 30 much. "

sHERIDAN's FIRST RIDE.
A John GiIpin Performance Which Showed
Young Phil's Pluck.

tOung PhiFs Pluck.
The following story was told by the
Rev. j. Il. Headley, historian and biog-
rapher of many of the heroes of the war,
in regard to boyhood experience Of
General Sheridan:
At five years Of age he was playing
near his home when some lads came
along and amused themselves with the
wide awake boy. A horse was feeding
in an adjacent lot.
"Phil, would you like rider" they
said to him.
"Yes. Give me one."
In a few moments the boy was ON the
animals back. The sudden and uncere-
monious mounting of the young rider
startled the steed, and away he ran.
"Whoa! Whoal" shouted the lads,
but in vain.
Over the fence the animal sprang,
and once on the highway it was John
Gilpin performance. Phil clung to the
name, while the sobered authors of the
race turned pale with apprehension Of
a tragic end to it, expecting to see him
dashed to the earth and killed. But
out of sight vanished both steed and
rider, and miles soon interviewed be-
tween the two parties.
Suddenly the horse turned into the
shed of tavern, where its owner had
frequently stopped in his travels. Men
came out. and, recognizing the horse,
questioned the boy. One Of the curious
company, after securing the foaming
animal, which had neither saddle nor
bride, inquired of the unterrified Phil:
"Who taught you to rider
Nobody" answered the boy.
"Did no one teach you how to sit on
u horse?" asked another.
"Oh, yes. Bill Seymour told me to
hold OH with my knees, and did,"
wasn't you frightened?"
Mary bit. ! wanted to go farther,
but the horse wouldn't CO."
"Ain't you sore?"
''Kinder, but I'll be better tomorrow,
and then I'll ride back home.
''That boy" said the questioner,
"has pluck enough to be an Indian
hunter"
The owner Of the nag turned up not
long afterward, in search of his proper
ty. He said that the animal was vi
cious and had thrown more than one
experienced horseman. - New York

rIs ONLY SENSITIVE.

Tho Providence Journal IL not fault
finding a. some suppose; 1t 10 only sensi-
tive. It's literary ability is such that the
ignorance OF its contemporaries pains as
discord to musicians. Only yesterday,it
wrote thus: "Our Friend Talk of the
Day In the Boston Journal, who writes
sensibly and often brilliantly on many
topics, mods even as Homer did In refer
ence to Mrs. Oliphant. "What can be
sweeter than that? How can "Talk OF the
Day" be let down easier than by being called
often brilliant, and delicately
compared to Homer, as it were?
The Boston writer quotes statement to
the effect that the novelist whose death
every lover of good fiction deplores, was
wont to boast of never dealing with char
acters who would not be admitted into
any family. The Journal says, "In the
first place, Mrs. Oliphant never made any
such boast" That should settle 1t. In
the eternal absence of Mrs. Oliphant we
have but the Journal here, and with the
expression that 'It is grievous to see one
whom we respect SO UNJUST" that author
ty rises from spleen to sublimity.

Manville residents are discussing ways
and means of securing the appointment of
a French Canadian for the Office of post
master in that village. 1t is not matter
of party politics in this case. The French
Canadian of all parties are desirous of see

They say they have right to expect this,

of that race. The contestants for the po-
sition are Emory II. Desilets, Frank X.
