WANTED TO TRADE WIVES.
An Esquimau Chief Who Became
EnamOred OF an Ameri-
can Woman.

A plucky little western woman, Mrs.
Laura McGregor, has recently returned
to the United States after a trip of
more than seven months in the Arctic
seas, north of Behring strait. 1t is said
to be the first time that q white woman
has spent an entire season in this
region of the great frozen north.
Mrs McGregor is the wife of the cap
tain of steam whaler, and the trip was
made upon her husbands ship. Her
trip was full of curious adventure.
Once, while they were trading with the
Esquimaux, a celebrated chief Of that
region actually proposed to trade
wives with Capt. McGregor, and finally
became so insistent upon making the
bargain that he had to be forcibly
elected from the ship. The wife whom
he proposed to exchange for Mrs. Nc
Gregor was a hideously ugly squaw
with swarthy features, who could not
speak word of English.
Mrs. McGregor kept her eyes open
during the voyage and brings back
many interesting stories of the life of
the native Esquimaux they met. With
woman's quickness for such details
she observed much of the life of the
natives of that region which would
scarcely be observed by q man. She
found the Esquimau women quite as
vain and proud of their primitive sur
roundings as the women of civilized
countries. The squaws begged for
every article of dress she had, and if the
chance came they would have no hesita-
ton in stealing it. As fast, she says, as
she could make a wrapper or some other
simple article they would besiege her
for it, offering to exchange almost any
thing they owned.
The hats Mrs. McGregor wore were
objects of special admiration. They de-
light in bright colors, and the more
gaudy the trimmings the more it
pleased them. Mrs. McGregor trimmed
number of hats for them with the
wings of the native birds of the north
to their great delight.-N. Y. World.

FREE EDUCATION.
Russian Mobiles Are Entitled to Their
Schooling at the Cost of the
Government.

The nobility of Russia in each and
every, province, who form kind of
corporation in the eyes of the govern
ment with marshal at its head, are to
be allowed to establish special board
ing houses or homes for those of their
children who attend the middle-class
schools, but quite separate from such
schools.
The government undertakes to pay
the full cost of establishing these in
situations, which will come under the
supreme control of the minister Of pub
lie instruction, and in which the pu-
pills are to receive board, lodging,
clothes, linen, boots, schoolbooks, pc
cuniary assistance, and, if necessary,
personal help in doing their home les
sons after school hours. The govern
ment also engages to pay half the year
ly cost of supporting them. The prefer
ence in accepting boarders as we'll as
gratuitous maintenance will be given
to the children whose fathers hold any
official post in the corporation OF their
class or in the zemstvos, or who have
formerly held such post for not less a
period than nine years. The nobility are
also granted the right of founding
scholarships for their boys in the higher
and intermediary establishments of ed
ucation, for which the government like
wise provides half the necessary funds.
At the same time an annual sum of 1885,
$50 roubles will be paid out of the i'm
perial exchequer for the free educa-
ton of AIS boys in two Of the new mil
itary cadet schools.
This curious piece of class legislation
will give the landed nobility of Russia
a far cheaper education for their chill
dren than any that is put in the way OF
the other antiquated social categories
into which the Russian population is
still divided.-Pall Mall Gazette.

Cat Adopts Four Rabbits.

A cat on the farm of Andrew Harris,
near McKeesport, Pa, has adopted four
baby rabbits in place of the litter of
kittens which she recently brought
into this world and which Mr.. Harris
thought the world could get along
without. The day after the kittens dis
appeared the cat was observed carrying
something to the barn in her mouth.
Three times she was seen making the
same journey, and then Mr.. Harris made
an investigation. He found, hidden in
the hay, three baby rabbits. While he
was looking at them puss appeared for
the fourth time, carrying another little
rabbit in her mouth. 1t was deposited
with the others, and she lay down with
them, purring with the greatest of
pride and satisfaction. The young rab-
bits are getting along finely. They hop
all about their foster mother. Mr.. Har-
ris is proud of his cat and is permit
ting her to raise her queer family I'M
disturbed except for the visitors who
are constantly calling to witness this
queer freak.-N. Y. Sun.

Conl Miners Ideas of Burial.

Jack Hustler, miner at Tong, near
Leeds, who recently died at the age
of Ct, has been buried in coffin con-
structed TO his own specification 20
years. 1t is made of pitch-pine with
silver handles, and the lid is hinged at
one end. While he was living it was
used for the reception of his clothes
and those of his wife. The deceased
was buried with lump of coal, which
he had carefully preserved for years.
1t served as his pillow, and his tobacco
and pipe also found place beside him.
