A LEGEND OF THE ESKIMO.
How the Mortimer Believe the
Raven Got His Black Coat.

Ehe following fable of how the raven
became black is common TO every Eski-
mo households: Once upon a time (all
their stories begin in this way) the owl
and raven were fast friends Indeed they
were so intimate that they spent most of
their time together. and had things in
common, like brother and sister.
One day the raven made dress Of dap
pie white and black for the owl! and the
latter. not to be outdone in generosity.
made a nair of nice whalebone boots and
presented them to the raven. and, not con-
tent with this, went to work upon white
dress. When the raven was asked to try
it on she merriy ran and skipped about
and refused TO sit still.
BE quiet little while" cried the owl.
angrily. IF you don't will spill the lamp
over you"
But the raven paid no attention to the
threat and continued to tease the owl.
At last, in his vexation. the owl dashed
the sooty oil in the lamp over the white
suit OF the raven and cried out ''Qaa Qua,''
From that day the unfortunate raven has
worn a black coat.

RESCUED AT SEA.
Saving n Man Overheard at Night
From n Steamer.
(From Ainslee's Magazine.)

(From Ainslee's Magazine.)
Notwithstanding their hard lives and
their 'closeness,' the larger number Of
tramp shippers treat their crews with great
humanity. They are generally much af-
fected by the loss of any of the ships CON-
pany. and they have been known to risk
the ship herself to save the lives of their
shipmates. Perhaps one of the most stu
perdous efforts at life-saving ever reported
at sea was that performed by Capt. Will
liam Inness, of the freighter British
Prince. His boatswain, a hardy Swede
named Lastadius. while getting a bucket of
fresh water for a timid cook was picked
up by a heavy sea and carried overheard.
As he swept along the starboard side of
the ship Captain Inness saw him and
shouted:
Keep up stout heart, We will save
you If we can
at was getting very dark. and the
boatswain was three ship lengths astern
before anything could be done aboard the
vessel. He gave himself up for lost, but
kept on swimming. 1t was impossible to
launch boat, as the seas were colossal.
The captain had just finished his supper
when he saw the boatswain sweep astern
He ran toward the bridge, shouting as he
did so to the engineer:
Stand by to stop. those engines
Then he. flew to the bridge and laid his
right hand on the telegraph. go
Stop and reverse were flashed to the
engine room, and the captains voice rang
cut: All hands to starboapd with lines and
buoys,'
The captain told about the event thus:

DANGER WITH LITTLE GLORY.
Patrol Duty InweIcome to the Sol
der

(From the London MaiL)
OF the word patrol" if you look it up
in the dictionary you will find a sample
explanation: but the average Englishman
at home has no idea of its real meaning
as exhibited in warfare-especially war
against an enemy like the Boer
1t requires more courage, more real
pluck to patrol the kopieS round about
our camp than to make a charge in COM
pany with thousands of your fellows in
the teeth OF a deadly fire. In the latter
case the excitement, the spirit of the
military display the confidence in your
self and officer, the anxiety to get at the
enemy, all these combine to mpel the
men to that brilliant dash and pluck for
which our army is noted.
But the patrolling-that is quite a diff
feIent matter. Two or three mounted men
walk their horses in a leisurely way up
to the kopjes scattered all over the yeldt
and examine them for signs of the enemy.
Finding none. the next cover is examined.
and so On. The patrols are on the open,
the Beers lurking behind the powders,
hidden from sight. Possibly the first no

of the enemy is voley fired at close
range, and then it is a race for life. |

the weird feelings that. in spite of every
effort creep over you as you proceed closer
and closer to some isolated kopje. Are the
Beers there or not? Then tension grows
keener and keener. until one feels it would
be a relief were the enemy to omen fire.
From one kopje to another the patrol has tc
go-taking his life in his hands-doing work
which if necessary. is one OF the most
dangerous. arduous, and trying in the
service.
And if you are shot there is no glory

TURNED-UP TROUSERS.
No Need for Following the Fashion
of London.
(From the Pit;sburg News.


There are other weighty questions to be
decided by American citizens beside the

question has arisen in New York. Are

The English fashion Of turning up the ends

Loudly for the abandonment of this sense

The habit Of turning up the ends of the
trousers undoubtedly came to Us from the
English but where did they get 1t? Fash
ions are rarely sufficiently logical to admit
of explanation as TO their origin. but in this
case i, can be traced easily. When day
passes in London without some rain the
people begin TO wonder what is going 10
happen. The weather is always more or
less damp, and to save time the Londoner
keeps his trousers rolled up continuously.
This he does for the sake of convenience,
not style. In this country we have no such
excuse. Our young men visit the English
capital. and observing the peculiar method
of wearing trousers in vogue there. jump
10 the conclusion that it is done to be fash
ionable. and returning home follow the
custom here and find many imitators. 1t
is the result OF a misunderstanding. There

education among our Anglomaniacs. The
