Language He Knew,

The Cleveland Leader relates the
following incident:
The late Bishop Potter once in bis
early days had occasion to officiate
at a christening in a small fishing VIII
lage on the Massachusetts coast. The
proud father, a young fisherman. awk-
wardly holding his first born daughter.
was visibly embarrassed unde. the
scrutiny of the many eyes in the con
gregation, and his nervousness was
not decreased by the sudden wailiI
of the infant as they stood At the
front,
When the time for baptism of the
babe arrived the bishop noticed that
the father was holding the child so
that its fat little legs pointed toward
the font.
Turn her this way" he whispered,
but the father was too Disconnected
to hear or understand.
Turn her feet around" the bishop
whispered again; and still there was
no response. The situation was fast
becoming critical, when an ancient
mariner in the back of the church
came to the rescue. Putting his
weatherbeaten hand TO his mouth he
roared across the room. Head her to
the wind. Jackl7

A Dear Possession of the Race.

New York Globe and Advertiser
The long quest is thus over. A mar
his stood where there is no latitude
and where the polar star glitters in the
zenith. The centuries of polar search
have at length been rewarded. An
age of utilities and materialism an
swers its critics by feat of pure
aspiration and pride of accomplish
ment. There is the beauty of com
plete non-usefulness. The spirit has
been to do merely because it seemed
impossible. So intrepid men have
gone north, and we have had the re-
cord of ships for years; of boat Jour
neys, where death was certain If
watchfulness an instant nodded; or
land marches over chaotic ice in the
teeth of gales that we of milder
climes lack knowledge of: of terrible
months passed in 1easos .upsetting
sunlight or in the solitadf and mo-
notony of continuous arctic darkness.
That the goal was noc worth the eff
fort pragmatists may well contend,
but 1t will at least be admitted that
the species is aggrandized by thought
of what the long line of polar heroes
haN patiently endured. We cannot
reckon the good that has been done
the world from stiffening the sfnews
OF countless wills as the story or
farthest north has been read. The
journals and recitals from Davis to
Peary and Cook constitute one of the
most precious possessions Of the race.

WHAT TO EAT IN THE WOODS.

AS a rule the camper or traveller III
the wilderness will make a great mis-
taNa if he eats too much Nal. OF
course, if he be right out in the wilds,
where the game is just begging to be
shot and eaten, il is hard to resist
the temptation to kill and eat" but
a little experiment viii prove that a
certain proportion of the other proteid
froas VIII give better results, 10th as
regards muscular powers and heat
production, than meat Of course
such vegetables and fruits as are OBJ
tainable should be eaten freely.
As all woodsmen know, the dietetic
standby of the wilderA0 SIS dweller,
whether he be a camper, tramper, or
lunberman, is beans-ordinary dry
white beans. Combined with these so
as to make up properly balanced
dietary there should be certain
amount of the starchy foods-vege-
tables and fruits. Where these can
not be obtained pilot bread aud other
crackers which it is possible nova
days to get in lars variety, are a
partial substitute. Some of the nut
foods now on the market are at once
portable. palatable, and nourishing'
but 1t must be understood that these
are nroteid foods TO be used instead
of meat, beans, or peas, and always
in very moderate quantities. Lentils
fdried) are another proteii food which
is easily carried and nutritious.
Sailed, corned, or otherwise pre-
served meats are of little value from
any standpoint The same preserva-
tives which prevent these meats from

Struggled Opium.
Officers, clerks and janitors EN-,
ployed by the Brownsville custom
house have for the last few days been
suffering from strange attack re-
sembling the dreaded sleeping sick
ness, and the symptoms were becou-
ing so accentuated that the matter
was getting to be serious, until this
morning a sack of cocoanuts adj
dressed to Chinaman ar San An
tonic, Texas, was hauled out into the.
corral of the custom house Tor more
convenient keeping.
The sack of cocoanuts arrived by
express from Tampico by way Of
Monterey several days ago and had
rot been called for, the Mexican Her
aid says:
The express messenger. baggage
master and postal clerk, all of whom
occupy the same car, were fast asleep
when the train pulled into the sta
ton. The express messenger was 1y-
ing with his head upon the sack and
was the most difficult of the three to
awaken
When it was found that they were
not drunk, examination of the con-
tents of the sack was made, and it
was found that one OF the cocoanuts
was merely the shell, the space with
in containing opium The sack was
seized by the authorities on the Texas
side of the river and was thrown care
lessly into a corner of the office room.
1t will from now on, however, be
stored in the yard until it is disposed
of through the usual methods.

 The ordinary Turkish official is cur ious example of the oriental charac- ter. One has only to look at him to feel that he is born an official, that he has come into the world with the soul of an Ottoman official. To rank as a functionary is, in fact, for Turk the only honorable career. Commerce, even the liberal professions, is degrading 8 very good job for the giaourl That is why, whether he be the son of cab by or the son of pasha, the Turk has only one ideal, one ambition--to end his days in the skin of an official.
 The duties of an official consist in doing nothing, or almost nothing, for a Turkish bureau is temple of idleness. The Ottoman funcionary will make the unfortunate man who has to deal with
