SYBARlTES IN THE COLD.
Luxury as 1t Is INDUCED In by the
Arctic Traders.

SO much has been written of the Es-
kimo c'husky') dogs and dog sleds of
the north that they may well be men
luxury which many of the factors and
traders of the Hudson Bay company
entertain. Seated or rather reclining
in his cariole, swathed in furs, he is
driven by an engage on foot who dash
eS along at great pace. The cariole is
painted gaudily. There are Russian
bells on the collars of each of the long
span of dogs, while the harness is a
mass of beadwork and tassels.
No longer when he lodges at night at
a post does he partake solely of the
simpler fare it can furnish, nor even
when he camps out in the wilderness
must he be content with what his gun
can bring down in addition to the penn
mican he carries. For now, either I'M
der the cariole seat or in an additional
sled behind, there is found good sup
ply of canned meats and vegetables,
products of Chicago and Ontario, and,
moreover, his driver is his cook. In
the open a fire will be deity kindled,
tea will be made, bacon and even eggs
will be fried and hot "f1apjacks," that
delectable fritter Of the bush, half an
inch thick and swimming in grease
and molasses will tickle the factor S
palate.
At night, enveloped in his furs and
maybe reposing on hastily construct
ed bed of balsam boughs, the last
vision before his eyes close upon the
scenes of dreamland will be the scin-
tillating splendors of the aurora borea-
lis, whose purpling waves alternate
with bars of vivid light so rapidly and
in such volume as to make the behold
er almost believe that nature speaks,
mauger the silence, all penetrating, all
rvading-Cornhill Magazine.

The "Picket,"

The picket was generally inflicted on
cavalry and artillerymen and was a
sngularly brutal bit of torture. \ long
POST, near which stood a stool, was
driven into the ground. The delinquent
was ordered to mount the stool, and
his right hand was fastened to a hook
in the post by a moose, drawn up as
high as it could be stretched round his
wrist. y stump the height of the stool,
With Its end cut TO a round and blunt
point, was also driven into the earth
close to the post. Then the stool was
taken away, and the sufferer had moth
Ing to rest his bare feet upon but the
stump, (which, though it did not usu-
ally break the skin" says Captain
Grose, put him in great torture, his
only means of relief being by resting
his weight on his wrist, the pain of
which soon became intolerable." One

state Old Home Week and to participate
In the reunion festival. This invitation
has been favorably considered by the
societies in the various cities where
such organizations exist. Much Interest

The Green Mountain state will make
the opening year of the new century
memorable by an Old Home reunion, of
which all the native sons and daughters
of Vermont residing in other states con-
stitute the invited guests. This coming
observance of Old Home Week promises
to be marked by the presence on this
occasion of the greatest number of visi-
tors the state has ever seen. Vermont
has contributed so largely from her
population to the tide of emigration that
has flowed to other states during the
last half century that today every state

Upon investigation it was found that
81 per cent of those who had used the
trial bottle had received such benefit
from 1t that they purchased large sized
bottles of their druggists. @hs-
1t matters not how sick you are or
how many ply slclans have failed to help

COUNTERFEIT ART.
Americans Are Easily Swind1ed on
Pictures by "O1d Masters"

There will doubtless never come a
time in the history Of the art world
when the discovery Of "old masters"
will cease, certainly not as long as
American picture buyers possess the
almighty dollar and are willing to be
swindled.
Nearly every week in New York for
the last year there have been auction
sales of rare old masters" Some Of
them are rare, indeed; one that was
shown at the Macbeth gallery and also
in Detroit some time ago, suppos ID to
be study of an old man by Rubens,
the left hand of which was nearly
twice the size of its mate, and the term
rare" did certainly apply very aptly
to the flesh tints.
Do people ever stop to think how
many of these "old masters" there are
in existence? Any one may have an
sold master these days who has the
"price to pay the dealer to find one or
go abroad and get one made" There
are many artists in Paris and else
where who make good living, or
what they consider a good living, copy
lllS GU uldSJeTS Ill llle VARIOUS gal
leries to sell to dealers for little or
nothing, and they in turn bring them
to America and clear hundreds by SELL
ing them to some moneyed art lover
who in some cases is doubtless in the
possession of more money than judg
ment in art matters.
One we'll known New York art col
lector some time ago paid a large sum
for certain painting that an enter
prising dealer had "discovered' and
who represented it to him as very rare
and the only one in existence. The
same gentleman while on a recent tour
through Spain was shown the original
painting upon the walls of a certain
monastery. The sequel of the story
does not say what he did with the
dealer. If there be hereafter for these
discoveries Of "old masters" their con-
sciences, which seem very elastic, will
have to do deal of rubbering to get
back to the required shape to fit them
for their celestial abiding places or to
meet the froWns of the shades of de-
parted masters themselves.-Det

WHEN PERIL COMES.
Sudden and Extreme Danger the
Test of True Cournge.


1t is when the unexpected happens
that fatalism proves how fragile prop
1t is, after all, for human courage. The
soldier or the sailor can say to himself
when he knows that he must take
supreme risk in battle or In storm:
II am powerless against the fate which
was decreed for me from the beginning
OF the world. If my time has come, 1
cannot help It; IL not, all the forces Of
earth and sky and ocean cannot prevail
TO harm me-" But when without an in
stants warning rock crashes through
q ships bottom and the waters rush
into the gap, when confusion seizes the
entire company aboard, when the fog is
too thick for the captain to be seen or
the roar Of the sea browns the sound Of
his orders a new test is applied. Then
1t Is that the courage which rests on
nothing firmer than a negation gives
way, and in his greed to save his own
life the stole becomes as mailman.
There have been steamship disasters
in which men of humble station. of all
colors and faiths, have shown the finest
quality of heroism, and there have been
those In which the common sailors, all
whites and Europeans, have earned
eternal disgrace by their cowardice.
The point we are making is not that 1t
Is possible to draw hard and fast line
between one religion and another or
one race and another in the matter of
bravery, but that the affirmative sense
of responsibility for ones own acts, Of
the difference between right and wrong
between nobility and ignominy and Of
the grandeur of duty well done at the
sacrifice of self, is a far surer depend
ence in the presence of sudden peril
than all the stoical philosophers ever
worked out by the mind of man

in Dalkeith churchyard, over the grave
of Margaret Scott:
Stop, passenger, until my life you read.
The living may get knowledge by the dead.

Ten times five years lived widow chaste.
Now, weary Of this mortal life rest.
Between my cradle and my grave have been
Eight mighty kings OF Scotland and a queen.
-Four times FIVE years the commonwealth | saw;
Ten times the subjects rose against the law.
Twice did see old preacy pulled down.
And twice the cloak humbled by the gown.
An end OF Stewards race | saw; nay, more

Such desoations in my life lave been;
have an end OF all perfection seen.

marvel that l did. One morning my
doctor bled me till there was scarcely
a drop of blood left in my body. He
then gave me 40 grains of calomel, and
in the evening, as the fever was still
raging, he ordered me to be taken out
to the yard of my quarters, laid on a
bare rattan couch and buckets Of cold
water thrown over me for about 20
minutes, | was then put back to bed

In the Union has numerous Vermonters
among its adopted citizens. Fully 2OO.-
600 native Vermonters at present reside
outside the borders of this state, many of
whom have never returned to their old
homes. Others have visited the state
at infreluent intervals. The celebration
of Old Home Week next August pre-.
sents the long -looked-for opportunity Of
homecoming to the sons and
daughters of Vermont
The idea of an Old Home week re-
union originated in Vermont in 1900
when the town of Wilmington held a
successful reunion of former and pres
sent residents. Folio wing out this OBJ
servance the Legislature of Vermont, in
1900, passed measure establishing Oid
Home Week in this state and setting
apart the week which includes the 10th
of August in each year as a special
season for the reunion of Vermonters.
The plan possesses peculiar interest to
nearly 10000 adopted citizens of Massa-
chusetts who were born in Vermont.
No other state in the Union outside of
Vermont possesses so many natives of
of the Green Mountain stat. "a thA old
