Halt an hour after George Bnst0Ck
announced his intention of making ii

in the ward where he lay. a scared,
weird look In his eyes, his bloodless dips
twitching convusively, the hand over
which he held power flung outside the

The Irish Joke.

depend upon the speakers ignorance or
disregard of the proper meaning of

using a word not correctly understood.
AS an instance of this trait of the Irish
character there is the following story

sci: Nov, my good man, is not all this

The Difficulties of Our Early Diplomats

John Bnssett Moore, LID. in Har
pers Magazine for March There exists
a popular tendency to overrate the de-
lights and to underrate the hardships
Of the diplomatic life; but, however
much opinions may differ on this point.
there can be no doubt that the office
OF an American diploma list in the days
of the revolution was no holiday
paStime. II he was not already in Eu-
rope, his journey to his post was beset
with perllS graver than those of the ele-
ments. In the eyes OF British law,

ESKIMO BATH NO JOKE.


Detroit News-Tribune: Boys who
make fuss because their parents
oblige them to take frequent baths
should be glad they are not Eskimo
children, living on the shores of Norton
sound. In that cold region of Alaska
all the boys are obliged TO take a sweat
bath every week. and this bath is no
joke. a fire of driftwood is built in
the center of the floor of the kashin-
the one roomed house where the men
and boys Of a village pass most of their
time-and when the smoke has passed
off and the wood is reduced to red.
glowing Goals n cover is put over the
smoke hole in the roof, and the place
becomes intensely hot. The boys then
must take off their clothes and sit
about the furnace like apartment until
their skin becomes as red as the shell
of boiled lobster and seems on the
point of blistering.
Owing to the intense heat, the bath
ers are obliged to wear respira tors to
protect their lungs. These resprators
are pads of shaviEgs bound together,
concave on the inside and convex on
the outside, and large enough to cover
the mouth, nose and part of the cheeks
of the wearer. Across the inside runs
a little wooden bar which is held in
the teeth to keep the respirator in
place. The boys sit there until they are
dripping with perspiration. Then they
rush outside into the intense cold and
roll In the snow.
Mr. E. w. Nelson, who spent between
four and five years In investiga ting
for the government the Eskimo living
about Behring strait, says: "On sew
eral occasions l saw them go from the
sweat bath to holes In the ice on q
neighboring stream, and, squatting
there, pour icewater over their backs
and shoulders with wooden dpper,
apparently experiencing the greatest
pleasure from the operation. Although
the Eskimo boys seem to withstand
such bath as this all right, and even
to enjoy 1t, it would, in all probability.

GLIDING Coaches.

(: London Chronicle: A curious old
proclamation was dated November 10,
1861, TO repress the excessive gliding
OF coaches and chariots to the great
wasting and expense OF gold" This,
no doubt, arose from the increasing
popularity of Hyde park, where even
the sober Evelyn seems to have noticed
the 'mnumerable appearance of gal
lants and riCn coaches" The king,
however, evaded his own proclamation
by accepting directly afterwards a
magnificent coach, made IN Paris at
a cost of 1000 louis. from De Gram
mont; and to ride in this coach became
so coveted favor that my lady Castle
maine fell out with several ladies Of
the court through her desire for il.

time sang:
