They clapped tbeir hands after each sentence to signify tbeir acceptance of his in structions. Two others have come of their own accord. The only baggage of one is two sticks, upon onch of which are threaded four dry rows of fruit, which rattle. The youth owning this property has long hair plaited into ropes, which fall to his neck aud form a screen to bis eyes. He is constantly keeping the rattle goiug and singing (principally about me) in a most flat tering manner, in which performance his friend joins, but the latter confines himself to singing. He has other use for bis hands, which carry two baskets full tf manioc flour, a banghi pipe and spare ruttles. For the first hour they staid at my heels. All the tim e they kept up the ratliiug aud singing aud told me it was w bat they camo for, and th at they would thus entertain me until we reach ’d Kasembi, four or fivo days oft. I spoke to them (irmly, hut kindly; told them their musio was excellent, hut must be beard at u distance to ho prop erly enjoyed. Tliodistance I pointed out was about ten miles away.

Tho hands thus placed cannot bo used in defense. They simply say “ Don’t strik e,” ju st r.s the thrown up hunds of the unarmed horseman on the plains say “ Don’t shootl” to approach ing savages or outlaws. If to tho kueel- iug attitude is added a head thrown for ward, with eyes on the ground, the sug gestion of abjectncss is complete. For tho opposite ides take the classic figure of the “ Praying Boy” in the long gal lery at the Museum of Fine Arts. He Illustrates tho pagan attitude. He-stands at the utmost height of bis young man hood and looks straight np to the sky, his arms are sent straight upward, too, aud his extended palms seem to be tak ing trustfully the good things th at the gods send. There is much th a t is beau tiful—nothing abject or scared or cowed about it. The praying pagan boy seems to represent better the spirit of Chris tianity than does tho kneeling monk with the bony, clusped bunds.—Boston Transcript. W i t o f n Scotch L u n a tic .

The fine look.ng young man who was shown iuto the parlor was a new one to •lie old gentleman, who had livei. in a state of uuxiety for years lest some otic would m a n y his charming daughter for her money.

FOOD IN THE ARCTIC. lllr d n n a v e N o D iffic u lty F in d in g I t I n th e Huow. The nunil cr of Lirds tlint go to tho arctic regions to breed is “ vast beyond conception." They go not by thousands, but by millions, to rear th eir young on the tundra. Tho cause which attracts them is heeauso nowhere in tho world does nature provide ut tho s:uno tim e and bi tiie same place “ such a lavish prodigality of food. ” T hat tho barren 1 swamp of the tundra should yield a food supply so great as to tem pt birds to make journeys of thousands of miles to rear their young in a land of plenty, ouly to bo found beyond tho arctio cir cle, seems incredible. Tho vegetation consists of cranberry, cloudberry and crowberry bushes. Forced by the per petual sunshino of tho arctio summer these bear enormous crops of fruit. B at the crop Is not r te until tho middlo nnd end of tiie arctic summer, aud if tho fruit eating birds had to w ait un til it was ripe they would Btnrve, for they arrive on the very duy of the melting of the snow. But each year the snow de scends on its immense crop of ripe fruit before tho birds have tim e to gather it. It is then preserved beneath tho snow, perfectly fresh and pure, aud the melt ing of the snow discloses the bushes witli tiie uncousnnied last year’s crop hanging on them or lying, ready to be euten, on Jh<- ground. The frozen meal stretches across the breadth of Asia. It never decays aud is accessible the mo ment the snow melts. Ages have taught the birds that, they have ouly to fly to the arctio circle to find such a store of “ crystallized foods” as w ill last them till the bushes are once more forced into bearing by the perpetual su n lig h t The same heat v. Inch frees the fruit brings iuto being the most prolific iiiHcct life in the world. The mosquito swarms on tho tundra. No Eurtqieaii can live there withont a veil after the snow melts. The gun barrels are black w ith them, and tiie cloud often obscures the right. Thus the insect eating hints have only to » ijicu their months to fill them w ith mosqui toes, and the presence of swarms of ten der warblers, cf cliff chaffs, pipits and wagtails in this arctio region is ac counted for.—New York Evangelist. RE WAS A POOR BAR. HOW YOUNG FOX RAN A WH0L£ COUNTY IN DAKOTA. IIo Hold A ll th e Ofllees F or One W hiter and R ath er E njoyed th e Experience, Though It la Prenuined That l i e W m Som etim e» a L ittle Loncttome. There i i a mau in iliis town who was the snprtme ruler of the wholo county* for almost six months. Ho was a Pooh Bah v.ith a vo&gcauco. His name is E. J. Fox, and he is fond of telling how lie ran GavtilitA- eounty In the first w in ter of its cxis'ence. It came about in ibis way: Cavalier county had been named, but nuotganized, for several years up to 1881. It consisted of a largo strip of land, all owned by the government, ly ing west of tho western boundary lino of Pembina county. About that time P. McHugh of Bathgato wan elected na a representative of Pembina county In the legislature, and it occurred to him and to Attorney W. J. Mixiney of tho sami' village that it would be well to organize Cavalier county and add to it tho three ranges in the western pait of Pembina county. This western part of Pembina county wits very much higher than tho rest of tiie county, and was sitnated, the people said, and say yet. “ on the mountain. ” So McHugh got a bill through the legislature defining Cavalier county its it is today. T hat was iu the w inter of 1884-C. A courthouse was built at Langdon, which was designated as the county seat, and at tho election in November various eounty oftleers were elected. But none of tlio county officers came to Langdon to live. It was already a buil winter, mid they could seo no reason why they should eonio if there wns some one there to tako cluirgo of tho records. So they united in asking E. J. Fox, a young man just from Canada, to take ehargo of tb« offices until sum mer. Fox accepted tho position, or posi tions, and iu December took ehargo of tho affairs of tho eounty. Tho court house was then a largo building—in facf, too largo for use. Fox deeiilcd that it would bo better to leave it va cant until spring, and lie took up his abode in a one room “ claim shock,” the only other bnhuing in town. This was about 15 by 20 feet in dimensions, and there he lived uud did business that, winter. lie was deputy clerk cf tho courts, county judge, ceiuity treasurer, eounty auditor and register of deeds. Tho sheriff lived in tho country and the superintendent of schools lived just, across tho Manitoba line. Tho sheriff did not servo out his term, for he was put in jail for riiooting u man in n figl” . There wns not another living soul w ith in two miles. Fox lived entirely alone, and did his own cixiking, except the bread baking, which was done by a neighbor thrfo miles away. Langdon, though tho comi ty seat, wns not yet n postoffiee. Tho postmaster of Olga, in the eastern part of tho county, used to rend over a largo package of letters mid papers about twice u week to tho jicople whom ho knew lived near Langdon, aud Fox would give to these people their mail when they c:dled for it. There was not one se ttler 40 miles to the west, but about 40 mid 50 miles northwest, noar the Manitoba line, there were several settlers, mid some of these used to drivo th at great distance to "file” on n lnaue- steud or a treo claim. When they did that, Fox laid to give them their mi i ll s and lodgings, and, in fart, he hud often to keep a rort of hotel. The w inter of 1834-5 was very cold, and nt night Fox used often to lio awako aud listen to tho blizzards bowl around his little shuck. He was kept busy, however, for there were, many filings, registerings of mortgages and a few deeds. An uverngc of two or three men would come to seo him daily on busiiK ss, hut ho seldom saw a woman. Nearly nil the settlers near him at th at time were bathelors, who afterw ard went back to Canada to get niurri »1: and indeed Fox did tbe same. Every body was |ioor, nrd yet they nil seemed to enjoy themselves, though th< y had to haul their wheat l’renu 50 to 75 miles to market. Tho w inter passed very swiftly, mid in tho suinim r Meoney and McHugh came w ith tin ir families. Then other settlers began to jsnir iu. Buildings went np, as if by magic, mid in a few months there? were a poatofAco mid a dozx u dwellings. Talk of a railroad be gan to lx, heard, mid iu a few months it came. Then indeed Pooh-Bah Fox had to surrender liis glory. He ehose to tako up the humble position of suiwriu- teudent of tho schools of the county and ho still retains (ho place. He is dis posed to think that, iu spito of the com forts and eonvi nienci s of the present; mode of life Inn*, he enjoyed himself more flint w inter v. lien he was nionureli of all thegovernmi nt offi: i s i.f Cavalier eounty.—Langdon (N.

He bad led them to a room to display a view from a window, when some one shut tbe door, w ith its self noting look, and the three men were prisoners. The patient alone preserved his composure.
