Ways of Eskimo Children.

One might think that the queer lit
tie Eskimo children would find life
very, very dull now that they have so
little sunshine and the weather is so
cold away up there in northland. A
visitor among them assures us, how
ever, that they seem to be perfectly
contented in their little round huts
with conical tops and one narrow
doorway. To begin with, they have
strange garments made Of sealskin or
the skins of reindeer, bears, foxes and
even dogs. Beneath their outer suits
they wear more fur clothes. with the
hair turned inside, and stockings of
dogskin or reindeer skin. The boys
and girls look almost exactly alike,
and at this time of the year they are
SO bundled up that about all you may
see of them is their eyes. In each
"igloo," or home, place is set apart
for the use of the children. There no
one may disturb them, and after the
girls have dressed their dolls, which
are made of wood and clothed in skins,
story telling time begins. Each child
takes turn. When the time comes
the first story teller takes off his jacket
turns his face to the wall and COM
mences. And SO the play goes on till
each has told story.

Called In Haste.

A physician, like soldier, must re-
spond to the call of duty without al
ways waiting to discover the why and
wherefore. A doctor, who is evident
ly the soul Of devotion to his profess
sion, was recently put to the test and,
much to his subsequent irritation, was
not found wanting. It befell in this
wise, according to the doctors report:
One day last week was just sitting
down to dinner, when I received a call
from little five-year-old girl whose
father lives in the adjoining block. She
was out of breath, but she managed to
gasp out for me to come up to the
house right away. Thinking it must
be something serious that should cause
the little girl to be sent for me, seized
my medicine-case and hurried OF.
"Who is sick?" asked, picking her up
in my arms and carrying her, SO that
might get along faster. Elizabeth"
she answered. els she very sick?"
asked. "I think 1t is typhoid fever"
she replied. This gave me scare and
quickened my steps. We were not long
in arriving at the house. and was
surprised that no one met us. "This
way" cried the little girl, selling my
hand. Allowing myself to be led along
l soon found myself in bedroom by
the side of a dolls cradle, in which re-
posed doll with red rag tied round
it's throat. 1 was dazed for a moment
and came to only when heard the lit
tie girl inquiring anxiously If
thought Elizabeth was going to die. I
assured her that she wasn't, and all
that she needed was a spanking. I
meant the little girl, not Elizabeth.
But from what heard as came away
I am afraid that my advice was not I'M
derstood and that Elizabeth got the
spanking.

cact, win Grow in . Sealed Bottle.

C0Ctl Will Grow In q Sealed Bottle.
Growing cacti in a bottle is a new
and simple method that was recently
discovered in the Botanical gardens at
Berlin. A cordial bottle is about right
for the purpose. Clean it, cover the
bottom with ground an inch deep, wet
1t thoroughly, and throw in two or
three cactus seed. Cork the bottle,
close it with sealing wax, and hang it
in window where the sun strikes it
for several hours every day. In cold
weather the bottle must not be exposed
to the air. The opening and roofing
of the seeds and the development of
the plants will be almost as If by mag
ic. The plants will flourish for years,
statement proven by the fact that
those at the Berlin Botanical gardens
have been sealed up for five years.
Growing cacti in this way should prove
an excellent scheme for a schoolroom
or in house where children would
find the developing plants an unfail.

A Lesson In Politeness.

Adrian is three years old, and few
days ago his father bought him his
first cap. It is a real soldier cap, with
sword and gun crossed in front.
Now" said his aunt, IF Adrian is
big enough to have cap, he is big
enough to know what to do with 1t. :"
She took him up in her lap and ex-
planned very carefully what gentle
men do with their hats, and how they
take them of when they say How do
you do?" or ''Good-by" to lady, and
she told him he must never wear his
cap in the house. At the conclusion
of the lesson Adrian went out on the
porch to practice it. When Miss Nina
passed he took OF his cap and said,
How do?" why, how do you do, lit
tie dear?" said Miss Nina, smiling.
When mamma came up the street he
took of his cap, and she kissed him
and called him her precious little man.
Then he took OF his cap and bowed to
all the ladies that came along. When
he went in to eat his dinner he took
off his cap the minute he stepped in
side the door, but he thought it SO fine
that he had to keep it on the table
while he was eating. That evening,
when papa took him out for a walk, he
raised his hat very politely to the
ladies on the porch when he said
.good-by. He has had his cap for two
weeks now and he has not once for
gotten about taking it OF in the house,
and whenever he speaks to lady or
an old gentleman. I know some boys
twice as old and twice as big as Adrian
who have not yet learned that lesson
in politeness. It Is q little thing, to be
sure, but it is one Of the little things
that mark the gentlemanly boy. Does
1t not pay to learn all these little
trifes well?-Selected.

A Physician,s Suit.

"About a year ago. says the Medical
Record, "a wealthy resident Of Cort-
land, N. Y, attempted suicide in the
village Of Mclean, but failed to accom-
plish his object, and repented, calling
in q physician. The latter rendered all
necessary services, both medical and
surgical, and saved the mans life.
Later, the physician sued his patient
for $4,000, claiming that the mans
life, which he had saved, was worth
that amount. The claim Of $4,000 was
not allowed, but the plaintiff was
awarded $780,"

A MINNESOTA FARMER
Does Well in western Canada.

Vtrden, Man., Nov. 18, 1899.
Hon. Clifford Sifton, Minister of the
Interior, Ottawa, Canada-Sir: Think
Ing that my experience in Manitoba
might be both useful and interesting
to my fellow-countrymen in the United
States who may be looking to Mani
toba and the northwest with the in
tention of settling there, have much
pleasure In stating that through in
formation received from Mr.. w. F.
McCreary, immigration commissioner
at Winnipeg, I was induced to visit
Manitoba in February, 1898. When 1
called upon Mr.. McCreary he spared no
pains to give me all the information,
etc., In his possession, the result of
which was that I came here with a
letter of introduction from him to the
secretary Of the Virden Board of
Trade. That gentleman provided me
with a competent land guide, and,
although there was considerable snow
on the ground, had no difficulty in
selecting three homesteads for myself
and sons. Having made the necessary
homestead entries at the land Office in
Brandon, returned to my home in
Lyon county, Minnesota, AN came back
here in May following, accompanied
by one of my boys, bringing with US
two teams of horses, implements, etc.
Our first work was to erect tempo
rary shanty and stable, after which
we broke and leveled seventy-five
acres and put up thirty tons of hay
went back to Minnesota about July
20, leaving my son here. returned
in October, bringing my family with
me. found that the land we had
acquired was of good quality, being
strong clay loan with clay 'subsoil.
Last spring I sowed 100 acres in wheat
and fifty acres in oats and barley
(Seventy-five acres Of this grain was
sowed on "go-back" plowed last
spring) My crop was thrashed In
October. the result being over 1900
bushels Of grain in all. Wheat aver
aged fifteen bushels per acre and
graded No. 1 hard, but that which was
sown on land other than sod ("go-
back") went twenty four and one-half
bushels per acre.
To say that am well pleased with
the result of my first years farming

Quately express my feelings, and

reported from the Falkland islands,
where he died II years ago. The Falk-
land physician who attended him dur
ing his fatal illness was present at the
exhumatfon Of the body when the
cruiser Badger was sent for It last
year. The comm had disappeared. but
the corpse was absolutely unchanged,
even the features having retained the
exact appearance that they presented
on the day Of death. This wonderful
preservation was due to the action Of
the peat water which saturates tho
islands. It had embalmed the body
