Charm OF the Mississippi.

The nature lover, In doubt as to
where to go for an outing, can find
plenty of enjoyment in trip down the
Mississippi river, stopping over, per-
haps, at Vicksburg or Natchez to make
preparation for excursions from those
places. The writer recently boarded
steamer at Memphis, going southwark
To novice eyes the trip down the
stream is full of wonder. Not the
beauties of the Hudson does he find,
nor the castle turrets Of the Rhine,
nor the gay pageants of the stored
Thames, nor the gentle loneliness of
that small stream that graces the
mountain region of North Carolina
o thrice fair Swananoa! But beauty
all its own has this wonderful Missis-
sppi, which, ON it's serpentine way
from pearly Lake Itasca to the blue
waters of the Mexican gulf, traverses
2,616 miles Of territory. Its legends
and traditions, IT'S great flush times
before the war, its spectacular his
tory, may all be learned from some old
riverman, who will gladly give full
measure of his lore. There Is a charm

Among the Eskimos the sun IL a
maiden and the moon is her brother

shoulders and shook her. which Is, &C.

ner Of declaring ones love. She could
not tell who it was In the dark, and 30
she slipped her hand in some SCOT and
smeared one Of his cheeks with it.
When light was struck in the hut she
saw to her dismay that it was her
brother, and without waiting to learn
any more she took to her heels. He
started in hot pursuit. And so they
ran until they got to the end of the
world, the jumping off place, when
they both jumped into the sky. There
the moon still chases his sister, the
sun, and every now and then he turns
his sooty cheek to the earth, when he
becomes so dark that you cannot see
