As far a I known, th nativea of
Greenland' east coast bad never come
Into contact with the whit race until
twenty years ago, when they were dis
covered by Capt Uolm. Danish ex
Dlorer. It wa six year later before
anything more than fragmentary Infor
mation about them wa given out, ana
then Denmark published a sumptuous
work in three volume devoted to th

other book o exhaustive and costly
has ever been printed about a handful
of primitive people. Ttey numbered
only 6-18 when they wer discovered.

Copenhagen that the East Greenland

almply transformed the life of the na

They are pure-blood Eskimos, the
only unmixed natives In Greenland, ex

their features are thinner and longer
than those of other Eskimos, and they
are a little taller than those of the
west coast They bave the dimmest
tradition that their fathers came from
the north, and considerable evidence
has accumulated pointing to the prob

of natives who reached northwest

Wonderful Alabama Cat,

knob of a door with his paws, fetch the
paper when it was thrown over the
fence, carry notea to the grocers, and
perform other stunt creditable alike
to hia head and heart
One night I waa reading rather late
In the aitting room, when I noticed the
cat rub up against my leg and start
for the door, and when I failed to fol
low he would return and repeat the
performance. Alclblades (that waa the
name of the cat) was so Insistent that
finally I decided to follow him. He led
me np the stairs and Into a room. Go
ing np to a closet the cat tapped upon
the door with its paw. Understanding
the mute request I opened the door

finally decided to let medicine alone, and

The Farmer's Vacation.
The ambitious tiller of the soil, who
is interested In his home and labor,
always finds plenty to occupy his at
tentlon, and is never more content
than when .thus engaged. There are
other members of the family, bow-
ever, whose labor Is more confining
and tiresome. On their account, if not
his own, they should Keek some diver
sion occasionally. Too often we see
cases where that lack of diversion
from the cares and trials has resulted
Insanity or nervous prostration.
With the younger members of the
family "all work and no play makes
Jack a dull boy," and Invariably is
also the reason why be Is only too glad
a chance to leave tbe farm when
occasion presents. Tbe opposite Is
equally deplorable, for all play and
no work Is very liable to make blm
worthless In after life. Those brought
up In our rural districts are not usual
ly subject to the latter "disease," for
during most of the year work pushes
the majority of our farmers instead of
them pushing it The only way for
tbem to find time for something out
of tbe usual routine Is to "take time."
