I^u' there was one occasion when I unconsciously played a queer part in a Dig anair, arm wnenever I travel on l this line t'ie circumstances come) vividly before my mind's eye. and I i experience a strange feeling of nor- j vousiietis which, try as [ will. I can- : not overcome. It happened one night in 1" saber, a good many y.?ars ago, \vh? t I ! was young on the road. I was travel- | iUK by the evoninir train from Euston i to catch the midnight boat at Liverpool for Belfast. I arrived ut the terminus on the stroke of tiif hour, ;:nd barely had time to pet my ticket and flint, myself and bag into a second smoker before the train moved off. There were only two other pissen gors in the eotnpartnvnt, occupying tin? rinl <>f the samn S'-at; v ith ;i sigh of relief, I settled myself do vn in a corner and prepared to enjoy a elgar and the latest evening paper. Hor'ore starting to read I tooi; a look at my fellow passengers, for I have always hern fr.nil of a dial, and can generally spot a likely talker : t once. However, there was little projpe<!t of anything of the kind, for both were middle-aged men of reserved appearance, who would hardly deign to notice a youngster like myself. The one opposite to me, a clean-shaven man with . professional air, was buried in his paper; while ' "> other was lying hack in the far 'Of with Ills nni\ orot- liio ?f?i. big cigar, and apparently as ::<! as Rugby witli i<; spdkcMi, when 1 sudnoi jogged in a ]?<>ooking uj), I m?M !)? professional-look' v-Mi.i .... .hi von minu i xI s'H> you h:ivo x-aill 1. slicrhtly sur|?i*is. <1. ;ii. . wo s , icmI ac ordiv. .vly. >Vliik> l.o m> toe another warni?K kiv'k.

THE ESKIMO'8 PIPE. Small Bowli With 8toms of Walrus Tuak Handsomely Carved. The p!p?s used by the Eskimoi are quite different from those of any other North American raoe, and In the shape of the howl more roMrmhle the opium pipes used by tihe Ofclueae than anything ele-e. The old pipe* were very small In the amount of tobacco that they would hold, for In former days tcflmoco was extremely eearxiA and t?i lt? u?? moat carefully hunbanded. There wa* therefor a wide flaring margin to the pipe to catch any grains of tobacco that might ho spillwl in filling it, then there was a hollow which would hold a pinch of tobacco half as larjte ap an ordinary pea and a rather wide hole panning down through the base of tih? bow! which fitted into the pipe atom. The bowl of the pipe was of ivory, stone, brass or copper. The pipe stem was curved and had a mouth piece. it Ik said that the smnll hc.Ve running down through base of the bowl and into the pipe stem was usually plugged with cfltt&ou hair to save nny grains of j tobaroo that mi^ht otherwise have ' passed down through this aj>en!uro and lv lo^t. The smoking of such a pipe would not loat long, and we may prwmnye that a very few draws would exhauet it. The ?moke was of romne fcaken into the hinsv The Eskimos are known to bo extremely nkilful in the representation of scenea and ohJ#Mit?i. while the Indians of Queen Charlotte's Sound and generally all tho natives of t.he northwest coa*t of A,merloa are famous for th< ir earvlnjc in wood and in a blaek slate.
