Boston. Jan. 30.-After having been
adrift in dory for four days without
food or drink. Charles Matheson, Of
this city. and Charles Hemeon, Of Shell
burne, n. s.. two fishermen, were
picked up by the fishing schooner Flora

Both men were UNCONSCIOUS In the bot
tom OF their boat when the schooner
came up to It, and they still were In q
serious condition as a result OF their
experiences when they reached here.
The men belonged to the fishing
schooner Quannapow.tt, which they
lost in the fog last Tuesday, and they
had drlfted more than 200 miles from
the fishing grounds when found by the
Nickerson.
Matheson was able to tell the story
of their hardships, which were more
terrible than any rece; t'y reported
from the fishing grounds. He said:
I'VE went out last Tuesday from the
Quannapowltt and could not find our
way back on account OF the fog. We'd
nesday morning there was a northeast
gale. One hugs wave wrenched away
the oars. Another sea swept Hemeon,
but | caught him and pulled him back.
All Wednesday night and all day
Thursday we were driven in the teeth
Of the gale. Thursday night Henieon
went out of his mind. No food or water
made our suffering terrible. Hemeon
raved and accused me Of not using him
right, and then he leaped over the side
Of the dory. | jumped after him, and
after a hard time got back into the
dory and got him in.
After that" said Matheson- He
neon was unconscious. and | had no
further trouble from him. On Satur-

courts of Europe into the deepest Of

one throughout the kingdom Of Den

King Christian appeared 10 be in his
usual health in the morning. After
taking breakfast he held n public au-
dience. which It has been his custom to
do every Monday morning. The recep-
ton was largely attended and bis ma
jesty conversed freely and affably

king. though appearing TO be slightly
fatigued. attended luncheon with the
members Of his family During the
meal his majesty complained Of indis-
position and was assisted to his bed
room by the dovaeer empress and
Prince Hans. A court physician was
summoned. but by the time he arrived
the king had collapsed. The physician
used prompt rcstora;iyes. but his eff
forts were useless, and King Christian
expired almost without uttering a
word in the arms Of the dowager en-
press and in the presence Of the court

OF death was heart failure.

The fur trade of North America has
always been largely conducted on the
principle Of barter, writes Duncan
Macarthur in the New England Mag
azine. The transactions with the In
dams are carried on In n very simple
manner. When n hunter brings in his
collection of furs to any trading post,
which he usually does twice n year. in
October and March, he is taken to the
trading room, where the official in
charge carefully examines, classlfies
and values each skin, and when the
whole pack is gone over he hands the
Indian n number of tallies, or small
pieces of wood or metal, each repre-
senting the value of "made beaver"
and the whole representing the value
of the entire catch. The Indian then
proceeds to the storeroom and selects
such articles as he requires-blanliets
capots, guns, knives, tea, tobacco, etc
in payment for which he hands back
his tallie5 until they are all gone and
his purchasing powers are exhausted.
He then departs, another hunter takes
his place and is dealt with in a similar
manner, and so on until all the furs
in possession Of the whole band of In
dams have passed into the hands of the
trader. Formerly it was customary to
give a good hunter dram" and some
small presents in appreciation Of his
industry.
