ut John Knox's Grave.

The guidebooks unite in telling
the visitor in Edinburgh to see
the grave of John Knox. It is
situated in Parliament square and
is marked by a small rectangular
slab of stone sunk in the cobble-
stone paving of the street, with
the chiseled inscription, u. K.
1873" But it is odds against even
the acute tourist that he finds the
great reformer at once, for only five
feet away from the holy ground
there is a similar sunken slab, and
many times a day parties of tour
lists may be seen approaching on
tiptoe the second stone and bend
ing over it with keen interest only
to read, "Wilking Patent Hydrant, -"
and find themselves face to face
with the water supply system of a
modern town instead Of the bones
of the eminent clergyman.-Ex.

St. Paul Pioneer Press.

The supremacy of the St. Paul
Pioneer Press among the newspa-
pers of the Northwest has become an
unquestioned fact. By glorious
career of honest, public spirited
right-doing and strong-saying, it
has gathered under it's standard
the best people in almost every
community in these great states,
and the loyalty of it's readers can
not be weakened by all the alluring
circulation Establishments of other
newspapers. The number of its
readers is daily on the increase,
and none of the premium PROPOSE
tons of coaxing competitors seem
capable of winning any of them
away. And no wonder. There
are many reasons why the Pioneer
Press has the largest paid circula-
ton of any morning newspaper
published in the Northwest. 1t
has all the virtues of age and none
of the vices of youth. It's editori-
ais emanate from master minds;
its news features are comprehen-
sive, accurate and complete; it's
market page is the standard au-
thority throughout this section of
the country, and those who direct
the interests of the paper have
devoted their lives to the study of
the political, domestic and in
dustrial pursuits of the people. 1t
is home paper, written for
family reading, uplifting in it's
tone, ennobling in its energies
and modest in it's avoidance of the
sensational yellowism to which
modern journalism is so prone. 1t
tells what it knows to be true, or
tells nothing,-no lies,. no exag-
gerations.
The price of this genuine news
paper, worthy of your wife's, your
daughters or your own reading, is
neither more nor less than some
of the sheets which you some
times are persuaded to permit in
your home. Make the Pioneer
Press an institution in your fami-
"; it belongs there.-Adv.

east called kO-Je. L heard how
the natives there had turned from
wild, vicious and bloodthirsty
tribe, waging cruel and relent-
less warfare against all other

derful, supernatural and miracu-
lous Being, whom they addressed
as "Kara- Ka."
My curiosity was aroused, and [
bargained with an old native to
take me over in his boat for a brass
souvenir I had kept for a pocket
piece. We started at sunrise next
day and as luck would have it, got
there the day before one of their
seven annual feast days, when
every one is allowed entrance to
their temples and Kara Ka's sacred
quarters. The latter consisted of
a strong bamboo fence, twenty
feet high, reaching out V shaped
from the shore into the sea, the
point in which a gate was con-
cealed, about 1875 yards from the
shore. The whole enclosure was a
perfect triangle; inside, on the
shore, stood a beautiful little
temple of onyx glittering in the
sun.
Quite early the next morning 1
approached the entrance, and was
taken in hand by a priest or at
tendant, who spoke a smattering
of English and Spanish, who after
conducting me to the little temple
and pointing out its beautiful
workmanship, led me to Kara-Ka's
holy of holes. I saw number
of priests and attendantsand many
gorgeously attired natives kneel-
ing, with hands outstretched to-
wards some point in the center of
the triangle, all crying and moan
ing and praying in a monotone.
As I neared the water, following
my guide, who made a passage
through these zealots (whose lam
entations made me think Of an
old fashioned darby campmeeting)
I came upon Kara-Ka. Upon a
slab of onyx, twenty feet square
lay-my seal! [ rubbed my eyes,
and looked again. Yes! Blow
my topgallants! There were the
glass pendants still clinging to her
head-the same identical pet I
had dumped overheard % years
before in the Atlantic Ocean near
Hammerfest!
The god of Menus seized me!
I laughed till the tears trickled
down my cheeks, and at the un-
usual sound the whole audience
looked at me with anger, hor-
ror, pity and fear. Not a
sound could be heard except
sudden choking that affected me.
Then all eyes turned towards
Kara-Ka. She had raised herself
on her forefeet and gazed at me
with wide-open eyes; moment
more and she glided gracefully
into the water, and barking JOY
ously, like a TERROR, she came
swift and straight for me like an
arrow. The people seemed struck
dumb with fear and powerless to
move, which, no doubt, saved my
life. I sat down on the sand and

rents and ragged edges, half her
left f1apper was torn or chewed off,
her tail was split like an old feath-
er buster, and the glass pendants
had been pulled to such an extent
that her ears hung down on either
side like a spaniel's.
I seemed to see all her troubles
from the day my boyish prank
decorated her with the tinsel and
pride of the gentler sex, to her
present comfort and dignity as
Kara-Ka, goddess of Kobe island.
[ could see her proud temperance
mongst her kindred, her overbear-
ing manners, her sway over her
many admirers and love-sick
swains, her ambitions and lofty
pedestal, and at last her isolated
position and final downfall. How
a great school of seals chased her

sage, TO- '82, reports a great school
of seals eastward bound in Behring
Sea,) though the Behring Strait
and then into the Pacific Ocean,
passed the good thing along until
she finally escaped beyond their
customary boundaries. How, sick
at heart, lonely and forsaken, tired
and hungry, she at last landed on
this island, where despair and that
tired feeling overcame her scruples
for death and-peace. And just
there she made the hit of her life!
I was told afterwards how the
priests had found her, fed and
cared for her, healed her wounds,
and proclaimed her coming among
their people miracle of good
omen. Her oblong, polished jewels
were a token of her prestige and
godlike rank, and her tears shed
in grief and pity for their wicked
and sinful ways. They issued a
proclamation to that effect, for
babe their people the manning,

Ny boyish prank had turned
ont wonderful benefit to most of
the Aquatic inhabitants around
Kobe island in any case, but the
change it worked in the reforma-
ton of the human inhabitants of
Kobe was by far the greatest balm
for my downcast spirits, and a
bright spot in my otherwise un-
lucky but eventful career.
The on-Iookers' amazement at
the favors shown me by their god
dess, is beyond my telling. They
gave manypresents and the priests
offered to initiate me into their
mysterious order and to make me

and many times daily, and worship
that seal was more than I could
do-and not play the contemplate
hypocrite. 1 thought over it all
night and came 70 the conclusion
that they were sure to find me out
some time and the game was too
risky.
There you have the story, and I
can only add that [ left there much
