OCEAN DRIFT.
Like Smaller Bodies of Water 1t Il
Uncertain and Moves Here
and There.

Siberian rivers wash down the tim
Der which floods have uprooted from
their banks. Carried out into the At
lantic ocean, this timber is drifted
southwark along the east coast of
Greenland. AS it approaches Cape
Farewell it is caught why a branch of
the Gulf stream flowing northwest and
stranded on the west coast of that
ice--bound region. 1t is treasure trove
to the Eskimo. for it is the only wood
to be found in his treeless land. Thus
the Eskimo sends no feet of steamers
to fetch his timber from affair; the
ocean lands it on his shores and charges
him no freight. BY united system of
river and ocean currents he obtains
the growth of temperate lands. And
the ocean does yet more for the Green
lander. The seal is to the Greenland
er what the reindeer is to the Laplander
or the palm tree to the inha bitants of
the tropics. And it is on the drifting
ice foes that the seal comes to his
shores and supplies him with most of
the necessaries of life. So also the
kindly ocean lends rich load of drift
wood on the bleak shores of Nova
Zembla, says Gentleman's Magazine.
In certain parts of Spitzbergen,
again, the beach is covered with enor-
nous masses of driftwood. Searching
among these. one of the explorers in
Nordenskiold's party found we'll
preserved seed of West Indian plant
(Entada gigalobium). Seams Of coal
and impressions of leaves have also
been found in the same locality. In the
far future these masses of driftwood
may also become coal

Funny thing about him!"
The bootblack folded up his rags and
seated himself on his stand. The man
he spoke of was one Of those individuals
with iron-gray hair and black, we'll
brushed clothing-an eccentric-appear-
ing man, and eccentric, indeed, If the
bootblack's story is true.
THAT man gets his shoes shined on
the bottom" said young ebony, sadly.
What do you think of that? He amt
satisfied to see hisself in the tops of
his shoes, but he wants the bottoms the
same way. Course, we can do it all
right, specially under the insteps, but
it goes kind O. funny"
What do you suppose he does it
for?" asked man on the next box.
"'Cause he's proud" came the an
swer, land cause he's lazy and don't
do nothing but sit around all day with
his feet in a window. He's boarder in
a hotel, and he amt got no business
that l can tell. All the time he's sitting
in chair with his feet on a window sill
and of course everybody that goes by
sees his feet. / s'pose it's just habit,

to be on the square he has just the bot

the shoes instead of his collar will know
he's neat.

USUAL METHOD OF ACTION.

BE is an extremely diffident fellow,
this South side youth, but is also en-
amored of fair maiden. She likes
him right back and is not averse to CIV
iEg him help in emergencies. But she
finds it difficult matter to get her ad-
mirer to respond to the calls of society,
for he sinks into a condition of too
many feet and hands when in the whirl
social. But she has her hopes, says the
Chicago Chronicle.
Not long ago, when the chill winds
had reduced the previously deposited
snow into glazing ice, they set forth
to walk to nearby home to engage in
the attractions of progressive euchre
and chocolates. He was very tender
and solicitous lest she tumble, slip and
fall upon The icy sidewalk. Not being
endowed with the certainly of footing
of the patient burro himself, fate over
took him and he smote the earth with
a crash heard blocks away
Thereupon look of intense anguish
sped over his face. for his spine seemed
shortened. The "girlie" was in tears of
pity. She clasped her hands and loved
him for his woes.
"Oh. Charlie" she murmured. broken
ly, docs it hurt?''
NO" he gasped. with sickly grin.
"Of course not. You see. l always sit
down that way"
Now she loves him for his courage
and ability to tell fb to extricate him
self from painful and unpleasant po-
sition.
