Early on the morning of the 4th the
ST. Louis people gathered on the river
bank to await the coming of the Alma
people, who had decided to come en-
masse on the transportation boat, which
was made ont OF two large trees dug ont
and fastened together, manufactured by
Abram Woodiu and son, which was 90
feet in length and s feet in width. They
left Alma with IS people on board, and
after stopping at Clifford and Woodiug,
landings had gathered enough more to
make 62 all told, and which was so heavy
a load that the boat sank to within two
inches of the waters edge and it is need
less to state they had 10 keep pretty quiet
Mrs. Ralph Ely informs us that on this
occasion only did she ever see her hus-
band when he exhibited fear of anything

shore a salute was fired them from the
banks and when some one suggested that
respond with cheer, Mr. Ely quickly they
gave orders to do nothing of the kind or

The making of tobacco pipes from
the caIabash is said TO be an African
industry which could be introduced
with considerable profit into the Unit
ed States, says Harper's Weekly.
Smokers who have used the calabash
pipe assert that it is far superior to the
best French brier, having a peculiar
softness and flavor The curved stem
of the vegetable forms light and ap-
pr0priate shape for pipes. calabash
pioe has about the same life as a
French brier, colors like meerschaum,
and will take a high polish. The cala-
bash will. 1t is believed, grow steadily
in some parts of America, and pipes
made from them would probably find a
ready sale at good price. The Af-
rican pipes sell for from 81 to $50 each.

II seems evident from the gre1t
novthing he has made that as long as
he had firm lee under his feet the con
ditions OF ice travel We're better than
those he made on his previous trip
over this same part of the sea in the
spring Of 1872.
As we went farther north" he said
Of that trip, Our difficulties were IL
creased by deep, soft snow. This
heavy covering on the pressure ridges
greatly Increased the work Of crossing
them. II we had not needed every
man with the dog teams and could
have spared a few for pioneer and
reconnaissance work we should have
made more rapid progress. II we had
had pioneers they would have gone
phead and marked ont the track. one
of them would have assembled high

be crossed most easily Then they
would have gone ahead - prepare the

In struggling nortAward any longer.
At the sud Of the nOrthwari journey

Peary could hardly have encountered
such terrible difficulties last spring,
with mountainous ice ridges and soft
