ODD THINGS.
Scraps Cut Here and There Of Inter
est to All.

When Ross in 1878 touched at Etah, the
Esks thought they were being visited by
ghosts. With her white sails appearing
on the horizon, where the sky melts into
an abyss of ocean, what else could the
ship be but some great whlte-winged
ghost? And what those strange creatures
on her decks but lost souls? They
thought she, a great bird, had flown from
the moon, where wood was abundant and
when they saw her close, her wooden
belly and her masts they whispered,
"How much wood there is in the moon;
how very much!" Wood is like gold to
Esks.
A Roman-nosed people could not hold
their own in the Arctic; a Roman nose
would be too often frozen off. The Esk
fiat nose is less exposed. The name Es-
kimo, or raw food eaters is nick name
given by the Labrador Indians. Their
true name in their own tongue is Inoit,
and means man. If patriotism be a
virtue the Esks have it surprisingly.
Never was a land of verdant groves,
golden harvests and willows mirrowed in
the streamlets and silvery waves better
beloved than their snow fields and ice
hills and gloomy. sinking tents and
is looS.

Mississippi Valley and New England.
Although these projects are located in

TRAVEL IN CHINA.
Are Passport for Interior,
Sugar and Plenty of Small Change.

Passports are essential to any travel
err proceeding into the interior, and are
supplied at various consulates. ours
were issued at the British Consulate,
and in sibe they looked like small
ensignS covered with Chinese char
acters, and in these a good deal was
set forth both for our protection and
for the Chinese. Students being re-
garded in China as essentially class
to be respected, the Chinese being
nothing if not literary. we were classed
as men of learning and that those
with whom we came in contact were
to see that so long as we were within
their gates that courtesy and attention
were to be shown us says the
Shanghai Mercury.
On the other hand. if we made our
selves Objectionable i'll any way VIC
were not to be cast into prison, placed
in a box with torture awaiting us. but
we were to be taken with all possible
speed to the nearest British Consul
and have our punishment rheted out
according to British law.
But money difficulties in China are
not trifling Dolars-that is the silver
dollar or tael-ceaseS to be current
after Ichang. so that it is necessary
when traleving long distances into the
interior to take a draft on one of the
Chinese banks. The compradore at
the Chartered Bank at Hankow saw
to this for us and presented us with
the amount required by a draft. on the
Shansi Bank and it's branches in prov
inces through which we were travelling.
Hupeh silver dollars were also taken,
which at Ichang and beyond could be
converted into shoes" A "shoe" is a
lump of silver from which pieces must
be Clipped as we proceed on our
journey. Lastly a quantity of cash. a
cash being a brass coin with hole in
it, thousand being equal to about
half crown. would be forthcoming
for Hupeh dollars. most cumbersome
but necessary coins for paying coolies,
boatmen and innkeepers.-PhilL Ledger.

"Although we confidentially hope to
