The Boethick Indians Of Newfound-
land, at one time the aboriginal inhab-
Nants Of the island, can now only be
counted by one or two skeletons and a
few skulls, so completely have they
been swept away. The French employ
ed the Mic Mac Indians of Nova Scotia
to fight against and exterminate them.
The Boethicks were a peaceable and
quiet race, given to hunting and fish,
ing. They used canoes made of birch
rind and of skins of deer, like the Es-
kimo cayak. They had no pottery and
used utensils of birch rind sewed to-
gether, but they employed soapstone
dishes as lamps, their form being sim
liar to those among the Eskimos at the
present day.
They carved deer and walrus horns
and the bones of the seal into orna-
ments, which they wore on their dress
es, and ornamented their heads with
combs. The carvings are in trfangu-
lar patterns, and out Of the large col
lections in the museum at St. John
there are no two ornaments having the
same pattern. Their stone implements
were more rudely constructed than
those of the western Indians.

Jasmin, the Gascon poet and barber,
once treated a rich snob to the snub-
bling he deserved. Jasmin had been re-
citing his poems for the benefit of the
poor and had afterward been escorted
in triumphal procession to his hotel.
Next morning while he was still in
bed some one knocked at the door, a
vulgar nabob entered and installed
himself without invitation in a chair.
MY dear Jasmin," said he patroniz-
ingly. Il am banker, millionaire. as
you know. l wish you to shave me
with your own hand. Please set to
work at once. for | am pressed for
time. You can ask what you like for
your trouble"
Pardon me, sir" said Jasmin, with
pride. 81 shave for pay at home only"
what do you say?"
1T is true. sir. shave for pay only
at home"
'Come. come! You are TESTING.
cannot be put off. Make your charge
what you like, but shave me!'
again say. sir, it is impossiblew
"How impossible? Isn't it your
trader
ut is, but at this moment l am not
disposed to exercise it"
In spite of renewed brides and en-
treaties Jasmin remained firm, and
the millionaire went away unshaved.

The copy of a certain novelist is a
fearsome sight. On more than one oc-

was indeed a puzzle.

My first glance showed me, arising

been standing and found their tracks.
These | followed as far as they were
distinguishable and then took a course
which | believed the birds would nat
urally follow. No sooner had reached
the top of the ravine than saw one of
the ostriches climbing the side hill. Els
timating the distance, | took sight and
fired. The ball passed Immediately be-
tween his legs and struck in the sand
of the side hill behind him.
''In an instant the bird darted away
like an arrow in the direction of
small clump of bushes in the center of
an open space. That he would pause
behind this bush and then finally
emerge on the other side seemed Ger

an examination of the sand showed
that the crafty old bird had shifted his
course at right angle, making the
turn so suddenly that his feet had
plowed up the sand for distance of
several inches. This wary tact had
placed the bushes between the bird
and myself, and he had made his way
to new cover while was innocently
waiting for him on the other side of
the ambush. An Apache Indian could

ing friends who were betting on the
races. He was urged to bet, but stead

Snake Rite nnd Mhiskr.

There is not on record an authenti-
Gated case of snake bite cured by
whisky. Plenty of individuals bitten
while under the influence of liquor
have died, and large amounts of alco-
hol have failed to save life in many
cases. Only about one in six of those
bitten by venomous snakes dies. The
remaining FIVE are cured by anything
they happen to have taken. Stimua-
ton is excellent, but the giving Of
whisky to drunkenness by lowering the
resistive vitality has undoubtedly been
a causative factor in many deaths sup
posedly from snake bite that would
otherwise not have occurred.-Ameri-

and for second time that day she en-
joyed good cry.
About.10 the moon rose, silvering the
lake and deepening by contrast the
gloom of the shore. Across the lake
she could hear the regular squeak of
oars in their locks, and, straining her
eyes, she could just make out famil-
lar form. 1t was Bawn, and, like her
self, he was alone.
He was too far off to hear her cry.
She raised an oar and roughly imitat-
ed the Morse code. Bawn, amazed,
recognized the strokes. 1t sounded to
him as if some one were trying to imi-
tate the telegraph instrument. 1t was
his call, "R B.-R. B-R. B."
Curiously he searched the water.
Edith stood up. Her light dress,
backed by the wooded island, caught
his eye. He raised his oar. Down it
came upon the gunwale He was send
ing the call 'Seventy-threew Then he
bent to his oars and with long, steady
strokes forced the boat toward the is
land. He approached cautiously and
did not strike the bar

There was rope In the bottom of
his boat, and he threw her line. His
back heaved as he tugged at the oars,
and soon she was in clear water He
took her into his boat and, towing the
other, made his way back to the land

What he said and her answer are not
recorded, but the conversation may be
imagined from their talk on the land

"Just one KISS" he urged as she
stepped out of the boat

as she spoke, but some day you may
