Kisawa volunteered to send two men
with me to Kaeembi’i; did not suggest
any p ay ; told off two of bi« young w ar
riors and gave them instructions. 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

would thus entertain me until we reach

Tho commonly received Christian at
titude of prayer, w ith bended knees and
the palms of tho hands brought together,
is simply emblematic of object, submis
sion. 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

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. All young men were under
suspicion with him, and ho was piutic-
nlarly formal w ith those of fine appear
ance. The collar intended to observe the
proprieties by introducing himself, but
the host arid in his atiffeat business
tones:
“ What can I do for you, air?”
“ I came to tell yon, sir, that I have
asked your daughter’ ’—
“ Just as I expected," was snorted
back " I t ’s pretty tough when a mau of

lot of men ju st coining Into active life
that I have ever seen. I ’d hotter giro
my fortune to somo charitable institu
tion. You can’t have her. ”
“ Perhaps if I should explain” —
“ There’s nothing to explain. I ’ve
heard it all more times than I have
hairs on my head. Of course you lovo
her. Y'on can 't live w ithout her. Yon

“ Ju st to shield yon from a little pres

"W hat in thunder did you propose to

“ Break away, papal” laughed the
vision of Ibvelluess who hurried into tho
room. “ This is the gentleman visiting at

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
