THE AGILE ESKIMO
Habit Enables Him to Scale Ice Clad
Heights With Ease
In all my experience I bad never
encountered a rougher- more difficult
country In which to hunt than In
ICllesmcre Lund writes Harry Whit
ney in Outing Ordinarily I should
have believed these mountain sides
with walls of smooth rock sheathed
with a crust of hard Ice and snow
quite unscalable
In places they were almost perpen
dicular Uarely did they offer a crev
ice to serve as foot or hand hold and
jutting points and Ann set bowlders
were too widely scattered to be of
much help
1 In this his native land the Eskimo
has a decided advantage over the
white hunter His lifetime of experi
ence lias taught him to scale these
lee clad heights with a nimbleness and
ease that are astounding He is quite
fearless and even the mountain sheep
is not his superior as a climber
As if by magic and with little ap
parent effort the two Eskimos ilew up
the slippery walls far outstripping
me How they did it I shall never
know Now and again I was forced
to cut steps in t e ice or I should in 1
e itably have lost my footing and
lei hurled downward several hun
dred feet to the rocks beneath
I was astonished even at my own
progress and when I paused to glance
bohind me I felt a momentary panic
But there was no turning back and
one look robbed me of any desire to
try it
The Eskimo has no conception of I
the papers next morning that he had
given utterance to the very baccha
nalian sentiment Drunkenness is
jolly
Lord Salisbury Avas a master phrase
maker but one of his best points was
spoiled Avhen a careless reporter turn
ed his reference to manacles and
Manitoba into the meaningless man
acles and men at the bar
Sir William Ilarcourt AA as badly mis
quoted once Great is Diana of the
Ephesians he exclaimed upon the
platform but a country paper had it
Great Dinah What a farce is this
Lack of knowledge of familiar quo
tations is a prolific source of misre
porting For instance a speaker once
made use of the Avell known lines
from Miltons LAllegro
But come thou goddess fair and free
In heaAen yclept Euphrosyne
The country reporter deputed to
take him down was in despair He
could not make head or tail of this
mysterious utterance But following
the sound as far as possible he seized
his pen and produced the following
gem
But come thou goddess fair and free
In heaven she crept and froze her knee
The speaker was taken down in
more senses than one London An
swers
Knew Where He Was
When I AAas studying in Boston
said a musician they used to tell a
tale about a man named Harper an
odd old character Avho played a trom
bone in one of the small theaters
there One time they were rehearsing
a new overture Throughout the piece
Harper was a little behind the rest of
the men Before they started it a sec
ond time the leader reproved Harper
for not coming in more regularly with
the other players When they attempt
ed it again Harper came in as usual
two or three beats behind time The
leader stopped and after letting loose
a lot of profanity demanded to know
if the trombonist knew he was playing
about half a dozen notes behind the
others
Harper nodded Thats all right
said he I can catch up with the oth

iWhy Here He Is
IT HAS DRIVEN PEOPLE MAD
Ecmc of the Saddest Cases of Lunacy
Are Those Where the Mind Is Un
able to Stand the Strain of News of
Unexpected Good -Fortune
It is no exaggeration to assert said
an asylum doctor of long and varied
experience that there are scores of
men and women in insane asylums
who have literally been sent there
through excess of joy Many of these
cases which are In my opinion the
saddest of all have come under my
own observation
I remember in the very first asylum
with which I was connected one of
the patients was a strikingly hand
some and very well educated man
who was as sane as you or I except
on one point He was really a man of
considerable wealth hut his delusion
was that he was a pauper and lie
would tell the most pitiful tales of his
destitution begging with tears in his J
j eyes for a few coppers with which to
buy bread
According to the story told me he
was the only son of a wealthy mer
chant In his youth he had fallen
among evil companions and had led
such a dissolute life that his father
distance lie is endowed with certain I
not ouly threatened to disinherit him
artistic instincts which enable him to but forbade him ever to enter his
draw a fairly good map of a coast
line with which he is thoroughly fa
miliar but lie dunnot tell you how far
It is from one point to another Often
when Eskimos told me a place Ave Avere
hound for was very close at hand it
house again After that lie seems to
have sunk into the loAvest depths of
poverty until he Avas glad to earn a
few coppers by selling papers or
matches in the streets
It Avas at this last and lowest stage
i i i n i
ucmlmuijuu iuiii wc wore uir iroiu if that nows came o hhn tuut llis fa
This they are never sure of and can 1 ther had die1 intestate aml that he

The Eskimos have a white man I sudlen newR completely turned thv
stung to death from every point of
mans brain JU11 broufrnt on smb a
view They not only can go to sleep I COUiition of excitement that he had
promptly but sleep soundly and well to be sent to an asyium and when he
as they travel when circumstances calmed ll0WIl agaill be ba1 lost aIl
permit They get sustenance too by j recolection of his good fortune and
eating hard frozen walrus and seal
UUlUlUj could shake his delusion tlia
meat or blubber This I could never
do for it is so strong in flavor that it
invariably nauseated me though I did
succeed A ery AAell with iiav hare or
deers meat Avheu I had it
BLUNDERING REPORTERS
Mistakes That Mangled the Speakers
Words and Feelings
Drunkenness is folly earnestly ex
claimed Bishop Magee in the house of
lords on a celebrated occasion How
horrified Avas the prelate to read in
he was on the Aerge of starvation
Another patient in the same asylum
AAas a young and in his lucid moments
a most intelligent felloAV whose brain
AAas turned as the saying is on learn
ing that he had passed an examina
tion lie had sat for the matriculation
examination at the University of Lon
don on passing Avliich he had set his
heart and had asked a friend in Lon
don to wire the result as soon as the
names Avere screened at Burlington
nouse
About three A eeks later came a fa
tal telegram Failed sorry Avhich
sent the young man into the loAvest
depths of despair for he was too old
to sit again Not many hours later
liOAveccr came another telegram
Passed honors very sorry crush so
great did not see name this morninsr
The revulsion of feeling AAas so great
that the students reason gave way
and he became so violent in his ex
citement that he had to lie conlined
Fortunately he AA as not with us long
and is now I am glad to know doing
very Avell as a solicitor
Disappointed love sends many people
to asylums but it is Aery seldom that
success in AAooing drives a man mad
It had this strange effect hoAvever on
one of my late patients The girl he
loAed had gone out to India to keep
house for her brother before he had
screAved up his courage to the point of
proposing to her but an offer followed
by mail Aery quickly after her
Weeks and months passed and no
answer came to the impatient loA er
until after waiting tAvo years in de
spair he became engaged to a girl who
had nothing but her money bags to
reiommend her and for Avhom he had
not a particle of love Scarvely how
ever Avas his fate sealed than he
the long despaired of letter
from India accepting his offer and ex
plaining that the girls brother had re
ceived and mislaid the letter which
had only just been found and had
come into her hands
Within an hour of the receipt of this
letter the man AA as a raving maniac
and although his condition is improv
ed I doubt whether he will ever re
cover his reason
In another remarkable case it was
the joy at seeing her husband again
that robbed a lady patient of her rea
son Her husband AAas the captain of
a merchant ship which was reported
to have gone down with all hands
The widow had deeply mourned her
husband for nearly a year when one
day on returning from a walk she
found him sitting in the drawing room
as hale and robust as ever
With a shriek she fell unconscious
on the floor and Avhen she recovered
her reason was gone It seems that
her husband after floating for some
time had been picked up by a passing
tramp and had been landed on to
west coast of Africa from which he
had returned home by the first avail
able vessel Loudon Spectator
Charitable
It is said of the author of a volume
of biography that his verdict on the
great of his chosen period is much that
of the New Hampshire parson at the
highly approved funeral of a parish
ioner Brethren AAe must agree that
our deceased friend was mean in some
things but let us in Christian charity
alloAV that he was meaner in others
