the Crew of tho 111 Fated Jeannettc When Huis In ISIS touched at Etali the Kslis thought they were being vis ited by hosts With her white sails appearing on the horizon where the slcy melts Into an abyss of ocean what else could the ship be but some great white wlngt d ghost and what those strange creatures on her defies but lost souls They thought she a great bird had flown from the moon where wood was abundant and when they saw her close her wooden belly and her masts they whispered How much wood there is in the moon how very much Wood is like gold to the Eslcs One of the unhappy crew of the leaiiiiette writes 1 put some mercury to freeze and beat It out on the anvil Our frozen brandy looked like black topaz We divided meat oil and bread with a hatchet Joshua forgot to put on his right glove in a moment his hand was frozen The poor devil wish ed to thaw his lifeless hand In warm water It was immediately covered with pieces of Ice The doctor was forced to cut the unlucky mates hand off and he died next day Toward the middle of January a caravan of Esks came to ask us for some dried lish and brandy We added a little tobacco to these presents which they received with tears of joy The chief a feeble old man told us that the week before he had eaten his wife and two sons Cold more terrible than the white wolf and bear seizes Its victims un awares Instantaneously fatally The cold purifies the blood sharpens appe tite favors digestion and stoinach It soothes to sleep by bringing death in the midst of beautiful dreams This intense cold so dry so pure stops pu trefaction sweetens the air by greatly increasing Its density and purities wa ter Cold takes the place of cooking for it makes raw meat raw lish and tallow eatable A Roman nosed people could not hold their tfwn in the arctic A Roman nose would be too often frozen off The Esk flat nose is less exposed The name Eskimo or raw food eaters is a nickname given by the Labrador In dians Their true name in their own tongue Is Inolt and means man If patriotism be a virtue the Esks have It surpassingly Never was a land of verdant groves golden harvests and willows mirrored in the streamlets and silvery waves better beloved than their snow Gelds and Ice hills and gloomy stinking tents and igloos New York Press THE CENTURY PLANT It Blooms Says a Florist Every Twenty-five to Forty Years The regular century plant said an expert in floriculture is not a cactus It belongs to a family by itself It has a large broad leaf sometimes two or three feet long and several inches thick where they branch from the cen ter There are two varieties one the variegated and the other green The only difference is that the variegated has a white stripe along the outer edge of the leaf Both bloom every twenty Gve to forty years A stock perhaps eight or ten inches in diameter shoots up from the center to a height of fif teen or twenty feet and around this stofk cluster small blossoms They are neit her pretty nor fragrant They were formerly supposed to bloom once in a hundred years The nearest thing to a century plant is a night blooming cereus It is a cactus and blooms once in about every twenty five years or so The flower is large very beautiful and has a delightful odor One plant may nave several blossoms but each flower lasts only one night There is no such plant as a century cactus The cactuses that many have mistaken for century cactuses will bloom in four or live years if kept un der glass or about seven years if not in a hothouse Because they are so long in blooming 1 suppose they have been called century cactuses and the name has been handed down until it is considered the proper term for them They bloom yearly after the first blos soms appear They are just an ordi nary cactus but they have a pretty fragrant flower Seattle Times The Canny Scot In the differences that would some times arise between members of his tenantry the Duke of Argyll was often invited to arbitrate upon the matter in dispute and he used to tell a charac teristically Scottish story of one of the occasions Two tenants having waited upon him and asked him to decide the question at issue the duke put what he always regarded as a very necessary preliminary question Will you abide by my award Well your grace was the reply of ine of the hard headed old disputants Id like to ken first what it is Lon don Chronicle
