An instalment of Peary's story of his journey to the pole deals with the hunting, by means of which the party's stock of provisions for the winter was very materially helped out. At first game was so scarce that be was a good deal worried. Only a few hares and foxes were secured and he begau to fear that he himself on his latest previous expedition hfifi Ull-'l ?? ?..1SU Ull tue UIUSK ox. on which Arctic explorers have largely depended for fresh meat. But he had better luck when with the three Eskimos he made a week's trip to ex- j plore Clements Markham Inlet. < "On the next march," he writes in Hampton's, "we had gone only some six or seven miles when, rounding a point on the eastern shore of the inlet. Ooh-loo-yah and I at the same i moment saw black dots on a distant j hillside. 1 " 'Oomingmukane!' said Ooob-loo- 1 yah excitedly, and I nodded to him, well pleased. j "To the experienced hunter with i one or two dogs seeing musk oxen should be the same as securing them, i There may be traveling over the i roughest kind of rough country, with j wind in the face and cold in the i blood, but the end should always be i the trophies of hides, horns and juicy meat. "For myself I never associate the ' idea of sport with musk oxen?too j often in the years gone by the sighting of those black forms has meant to me the difference betwen death and life. In IS99 in Independence Bay the finding of a herd of musk oxen sa jd the lives of my entire party. On my way back from S7 degrees 6 minutes in 190G if I had not found musk oxen on the Nares Land the bones of my party would now be lying up there in the great white waste. "When Oob-loo-yah and I saw the | significant black dots in the distance we headed for them. There were five close together and another a little way off. When we got within less , than a mile two of the dogs were loosed. They were wild with excitement, for they also had seen the black dots and knew what they meant, and as soon as the traces were unfastened they were off?straight as me mgnt or a bee. , "We followed at our leisure, knowing that when we arrived the herd would be rounded up, ready for our rifles. A single musk ox when he see3 the dogs will make for the nearest cliff and get his back against it, but a herd of them will round up in , the middle of a plain, with tails to- , gether and heads toward the enemy. ' Then the bull leader of the herd will ^ take his place outside the roundup , and charge the dogs. When the lead- J er is shot another takes his place, and so on. j "A few minutes later I stood again, ] as I had stood on previous expedi- j ^ tions, with that" bunch of shaggy ; black forms, gleaming eyes and * pointed horns before me?only this t time it did not mean life or death. j "Y?t as I raised my rifle again I , felt clutching at my heart that terrible sensation of life hanging on the j accuracy of my aim; again in my bones I felt that gnawing hunger of the ^ past, that savage lust for red. warm. , dripping meat?the feeling that the wolf has when he pulls down his quarry. He who has ever been really hungry, either in the Arctic or elsewhere, will know what I mean. Some- 1 times the memory of it rushes over ' me in unexpected places. I have felt i it after a hearty dinner, in the streets I oi a great city when a lean faced beg- ' gar has held out his hand for alms. "I pulled the trigger and the bull leader of the herd fell on his haunches. I had found the vulnerable spot under the shoulder, where one should always shoot a musk ox. To aim at the head is a waste of ammunition. As the bull went down out of the herd came a cow, and I also brought hor down with one shot. The others, a second cow and two yearlings, were the work of a few minutes." STORY OF A SILVER MIXE. There was an old Mormon farmer . named Jennings living many miles I distant in Utah who noticed some j sandstone on his way to IMoche. He used bits of this stone for sharpening his tools on the farm. Then it oc1 ourrod to him to market a crop of ' grindstones as well as vegetables. ! And he did. He mixed a few with his potatoes for his next trip to Pioche. There a saloon keeper brought one and placed it outside his resort, so the miners could sharpen their picks and bowie knives between drinks. During the next general fight in the saloon the sawdust arena be1 came overc:owdcd, and force of clr-' cumstnnron ? v-i? *" 1 UJ.v>vu n tuui lmia III I through the door, and in his cometlike orbit the man collided with the i grindstone, and man and grindstone C crashed to the ground in fragmentary r heaps. The fragments of the grind. stone are of the only concern here. , For Barbee was in the crowd, and f Barbeo was one of your real prospectors. Gunshot and battle could not r disconcert his passion for rocks. He | examined a piece of the grindstone end declared he saw silver in it. 811 ver in sandstone! How they 1 Jeered! They told him boisterously > that he was going craxy. Poor Barbae: Silver In sandstone was about. r-V:v. v \ * f as pro post?-. sus In nature aa robins sprouting from cabbage. Tbe comparison is used that you may appreciate what a monstrosity this was from the standpoint of Pioche geology. Barbee persisted. He learned where tbe sandstone came from, and with his burro and outfit he set forth over the desert toward Utah. When Barbee came to Jennings' grindstone quarry in the sandstone range, he found traces of silver. The silver was there, all right. Pioche or no Pioche, geology or no geology. He saw a bush that was blackened, and right there, in defiance of all known nature, he prospected the bush. And it does seem like a defiance of all nature to say that the bush ran 1000 ounces of silver to the ton. According to the price of silver at that time, a ton of those bushes was worth about $1300. The bush was petrified. The leaves and knotholes, the entire plant, was covered with a black sulphuret of silver. The bush was an outpost of a petrified forest, all more or less sprinkled with silver. Pioche had no adamant pride of opinion; Pioche went wild when she saw Barbee's samples. The sandstone range was populated by Pioche in a night, and became a new town, Silver Reef City by name. Inside of a week a desperado was shot and an undertaker started in business, and Silver Reef was fairly launched with Its credentials as a metropolis. A quarter of a million dollars a year was not an extraordinary output for the grindstone quarry. After a dozen million dollars had been extracted by Bar- 1 bee's mills from the sandstone of Barbee's mines, the wonderful find began to peter out. Barbee, it should be mentioned, died poor. Chinamen are now making modest days' wages by "gophering" in his one-time bonanza.?Hampton's Magazine. A MAN WHO REFUSED TO FIGHT. , A big Frenchman was talking in loud and blustering tones about his many achievements in dueling as he j traveled, in company with several , passengers, in the smoking compartment of one of our railway trains. In the corner opposite to him sat a small man quietly reading a magazine, and to him he leaned over and arrogantly 1 said; "Monsieur, what would you do if < you were challenged to fight a duel?" < "I should refuse," was the unhesi- ) tating reply. ' i "Ah! ah! I thought as much. Re- 1 fuse and be branded a coward! But 1 u a gentleman offered you the choice < of a duel or a public whipping; then 1 what?" 1 "I'd take the whipping." "Ah! ah! I thought so from your looks. Suppose, monsieur, you had ? foully slandered me?" i "I never slander." i "Then, monsieur, suppose a man i had coolly and deliberately insulted 1 iou; what wodld you do?" i "I'd rise up this way, put down my ? hook this way, reach over like this. I md take him by the nose, and give i It a proper sort of twist?just so!" 1 When the little man relinquished ? lis grip of the big man's nasal organ, 1 his neighbors slid away in abject ter- 1 -or. to escape the bullets which would , surely be flying at once; but there i was no shooting.

His rescue of a girl from the whirlpool of the Great Falls of the Potomac, fifteen miles above Washington, resulted in the bestowal of a gold medal upon Walter C. Rockwell, a deaf mute of Gallaudet College. The medal was the gift of members of the family of Miss Maud Edington, another student of the college, the girl who was rescued. Only with the presentation of the medal did the story come out. As the girl fell into the rapids and was swept into the whirlpool below. Rockwell threw about a large rock a noose in a long coil of rope he happened to be carrying, fastened the other end about his waist, and jumped into the water. Swimming in the maelstrom was impossible, and the boy had to trust to chance that the waters would sweep him down to where the girl was being whirled about. Because of his affliction he could not cry out to those on the rocks above. Fortunately, however, < they had seen the occurrence and 1 hastened to the spot. * As he had hoped, the current car- 1 rled Rockwell within reach of the i girl, and he seized her and held fast. ' When dragged ashore by means of the 1 rope the girl was unconscious, and i her rescuer in almost as bad a plight. < A feature of the presentation of the medal by Dr. Draper, a member ] of the faculty, was the delivery of his address in the sign language.?New , York Times. . i One-Legged Robin Returns.

A dainty screen which adorns the home of Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Carnegie is of two panes of glass, between which the gay, little flowers of Scotland have been pressed and then painted in oil in their natural colors. These ornaments are common in Scotland, and are frequently the only means of livelihood for invalid women in the Highlands. The screen, placed where the light shines through it, is wonderfully beautiful, and is one oi the joys of Margaret Carnegie, who watched it in the process of making, and who plucked the flowers for the artist. In many parts of England this homely way is used in church windows, Instead of stained glass The process of painting flowers on glass from nature is used somewhat in painted manufactures, and will become more popular as its possibilities are known.?New York Press. CLOTHING FOR CHILDREN. At night it is quite essential that babies and little children should sleep warm, but it is not the amount of covering that is piled on that produces tho desired effect. Lightness and warmth must be combined in the material used. During sleep the entire body, its organs and their functions, become relaxed. This is especially so in a little child, consequently the clothing which envelops the little body at night must be loose and not unnecessarily rnnflnn ti"> movements or interfere with its circulation. A little baby may wear a shirt and band at night in addition to the nlghtdrr . but they should not fit too snug . Stockings and bootees are not ai all necessary; the nightgown should be worn long enough to cover the feet. The bottom may be made with a flap to turn up and button, or a draw-string may be run through the hem instead; in either case have the gown long and full so as to allow the child to use feet and legs with perfect freedom. A. very pretty and dainty nightgown nay be made of French flannel, which is warm and comparatively thin.?. tfarianna Wheeler, in Harper's Bazar 1 Wginy Vegetable Hash?Boll together until tender potatoes, carrots and onions; then serve with butter, pepper snd salt.
