A returned missionary from south-
eastern Alaska tells iu Tlie Midland
Christian Advocate of a (Ir.mgo custom
among the Indians of that region:
When a iliffw enoe arises between
two of tlietn, and a friendly settlement
seems inij-o.-:. H <••• e of them threaten*
the other w h dishonor. Ho will covet
the face of his foo with shaiuc. He ex-
eor.les his threat by tearing up a certain
number of his owu blankets. The only
way his antagonist can get oven with
him is by tearing np a greater number
of his own.
If the contest is prolonged, it results
in tho destruction of all the blankets
they have, each Indian destroying his
own. Tho one who destroys the greater
number is regarded as haying won the
fight.

WIRE PICKET rniCE,
A rinum Letter.
It takes a clever man to find a good
word to say on every occasion. It is said
of Thomas Bailey Aldrioh that he once
received a letter from his friend, Pro-
fessor Edward S. Morso, and found the
handwriting wholly illegible. Mr. A)
drich was not at a Ioch for an answer,
In due time there came to Mr. Morse
the following reply:
My dear Morso, it was very pleasant
to receive a letter from yon the other
day. Perhaps I should have fonnd it
ploa«auter if I had been able to decipher
it. I dou't think I mastered anything
beyond the date, which I knew, and the
signature, at whioh I guessed.
There is a singular and perpetual
charm in a letter of yours- -it never
grows old, and it never loses its novelty.
One can say every morning as one looks
at it: "Here's a letter of Morse's I
haven't read yet. I think I shall take
another shy at it today, and maybe I
shall bo able in the course of a few
years to make out what he means by
those t'sthat look like w's and those i's
that haven't any eyebrows."
Other letters aro read and thrown
awny and forgotten, but yours are kept
forever—unread. One of them will last
a reasonable man a lifetime.— Youth's"
Companion.
A Very Prudent Younff Han.
Of William and John Scott, after-
ward Lord Htowell and Lord Eiton,
Lord John Ilussell used to tell this
story: When they were young men at
tho bar, having had a stroke of profes-
sional luck, they determined to cele-
brate the occasion by having a dinner
at the tavern and going to the play.
When it was time to call for the reck-
oning William Scott dropped n guinea.
Ho and his brother searched for it in
vain and came to the oonclusion that it
had fallen between the boardB of tho
uuoarpetod floor.
"This is a bad job," said William,
"we most give up the play."
"Stop a bit," said John. "I know a
trick worth two of that," and he called
a waitress.
"Betty," said he, "we've dropped 2
guineas. See if you can find them. '
Betty went down on her hands and
knees and found the guinea, which had
rolled under the fender.
"That's a very good girl, Betty,"
said John Scott, pocketing the coin,
"and when you find the other you can
keep it for your trouble." And the pru-,
dent brothers went with light hearts to
tho play and so eventually to the bench
and the woolsack.

Fish do not breathe air, bnt the life
supporting constituent of air—oxygon
gas—which is soluble in water to the
extent of threo volumes in 100 at ordi-
nary temperatures and four in 100 at
freezing point.
The water containing the dissolved
oxygen is uic.de to pass over the gills,
wbero it is separated from tho blood
only by a very thin membrane, through
whioh the gas is able to pass.
Fish iu ioebound rivers havo to de-
pend entirely upon this store of oxygen
for their respiration, and If it becomes
exhausted they are suffocated, just as
we should be if deprived of oxygen.
It rarely happens, however, that any
considerable area of water Is entirely
covcred with ice, espeoially in the case
ot rivers. Holes and cracks are alino''
sure to occur here ard there, by which
the oxygen of the air can reach the wa-
ter andbeoome dissolved in it Daring
a Jong frost fish may always be found
congregated beneath air holes in largo
numbers. They are there to breathe.—

Early t'*e of Tobneco.
I havo iter'd my grandfather say that
one pipe was handed from man to man
round about the tBble. They had first
silver pipes; the ordinary sort made use
of a walnut shell and a straw. Tobacco
was told then for ids weight in silver.
I havo heard some of our old yeomen
neighbors Bay that whea they went to
Malmesbury or Chippenham market
tbey culled out their biggest shillings
to lay in the scales against the tobacco.
Sir W. K., standing in a stand at Bir
Robert Poyntz's park at Acton, took a
pipe of tobacco, which made the ladies
quit it until he bad done.—"Brief Lines
Set Down by John Aubrey," 1689-90.
The Philosophical Tailor.
How often have I taken away a gar-
ment for a fault which did not exist
and whioh I of course never inteuded to
rectify. How often have I taken back
the same garment without it ever hav-
ing been unfolded and been commended
for the alteration whioh had not been
made, and then been reprehended for
not having dono what was right at first.
A Wan to be a good tailor Aonld bo

been excited to the pitch of manhood.

Absmitmiruledly Brooks elepped np
to the cashier's desk and paid for liis
luncheon. Then, accompanied by Riv-
ors, ho went out into tho open air.
"Brooks," said Rivers, "you'd better
go back and settle for your dinner if
you don't want the proprietor to follow
you out and duu you right hero on the
street."
"Ureat Scott! Didn't I pay for il?"
ejaculated Brooks. "Where's my check?
1 haven't got it."
"I picked it up as wo left tho table,"
said Rivers. "Here it is."

ous people how long a r. au can p»

fall asleep at his task. A journalist re
eently claimed to have worked i'.1 li-.nrs
without sleeping. Humboldt said I1.;a!
when n young man ho lenuned cnlj
two hours sleep each night, but that i:
his old age ho found he really nettle'1
as many as three or four. Victims tail;

saints, who is related to have lived If1
years without, sleep and to have remain-
