Several times in ‘ the course of the day they ran up against the young man, and always Jessica. found some hole to pick in him. His clothes were rough ; his eyes were green; he was oven-tall: he talked too much ; he talked too little. He stared; he was conceited; dull: empty-headed; meek; tied to his mother’s apron-strings.

From the Columbia River to Alaska the Makah natives know the coast and can navigate their own schooners, but when they go to Behring See. or to the Japan coast they are compelled to take with them a Can. casmn navigator.

Most of them attend the evening school, where they learn to read and write English.‘ Recently some of them have been studying navigation, and it will not be long before they will be able to navigate their own vessels even in foreign waters. The earnings of members of the tribe from sealing aggregate over $40,000 a year. a. vessel of his own larger than acanoe.

The Makah tribe of Indians of Neah Bay, says the Seattle Telegraphmre making great preparations for their regular annual fishing and whaling cruise. The young men of the tribe have been accustomed for years to cruise on the ocean twenty or thirty miles from Cape ‘Flattery, boldly attacking whales, fur seals, and sea lions, catching halibut, the several varieties of cod, sal- mon, and rock fish, all of which abound in great numbers about the cape. ‘ It was in 1862 that the Government established a reservation and agency at Neah Bay under charge of Henry Webster. The Makahs are not an agricultural tribe. They are entirely self-supporting, receiving only about S-lOD a. year from the Government for educational purposes entirely. They derive all of their subsistence from the ocean. They have been encouraged to procurea larger class of vessels than the canoes of their ancestors, and they have been allowed to own and command vessels capable of making voyages to distant seas in pursuit of their vocation of sealing, whaling, and fishing. v _ i ' u v- a“ “The description; of L0 Benguln’s per- sonal appearance range between that Of 3 most truculent and blood-thirsty save c, with a. deedlycruel’ lookinhis eyes, an a. pleasant, mild-mannered old}ge‘ntlemsn,with a winning, childlike smile.

Hurlbut of the British bark Bow- .man B. Law considers himself fortunate in 1 coming out of a terrible typhoon in the China seas, not without a scratch, but without the loss of any of his crew, or even of a spar or sail. This is his experience as he related it: “ We left Sourabaya, Java, the 29th of July, bound for the Columbia river. All went well for the first week. The men put in their time well about the ship, and one particular job that was at- tended to was painting the mizzentopmast. This was wood, the other masts and top- masts being iron. I noticed that the paint on the spar blistered more or less under the tropical sun. One fine afternoon, under a clear sky, the storm came on us. There was hardly any warning. The typhoon shot out of the gulf of Siam as though it came from a cannon. What in the distance was a ripple on the surface of the sea as it approached us became a feathery, foam- dashed mass of waves, and the next minute the hurricane struck us. All sail was stow- ed away, and we tore ahead under bare poles at locomotive speed. \Vhen the fury of the typhoon abated we found everthing intact. The mizzentopmast, however, was bare of paint. The wind had blown the blisters off, and nothing remained but the uncovered wood.” TM US HE PERISHED, much” in the same way as the Prince Impe- rial in the same region.

In the history of most na- tions we may find many instances of per- sonal bravery, but for deeds of true cour- age, a noble virtue which few possess, we turn to the annals of Britain and her 02 spring, America, for among these peoples the national quality of courage, as distin- guished from that mere bull-dog bravery which is unreasoning, finds its highest ‘ exemplification. #_ . . .c 1 _LL-- ‘Ln LnO-‘IA TN Blew the Paint Ofi the Meat COOKNBUSMS HIS SHATTERED LIMB S, A HEBO’S DEATH- According to the Medical Times of Phila- delphia Australia. is a country without an orphan asylum.

The earnings of a boy of that class from 147 to 18 are put in the postal savmgs hank, and at the latter age he can begin his career with a. little ready money. As a. result the state has raised a citizen at a. cost of $70 a year and saved no end 'of outlay for courts. prison, and reiormatoria While overwork is thought by many to lend a sort of halo and beautification to the one who indulges, it is an unmitigated evil, all the more pernicious by its glossing over with a false sentimentality. Abusing our bodies by over working is as much worse than abusing an animal as the human is above the lower order of animal creation. The wornout horse has a humane society to care for it in its day of need, but the over- worked mau or woman has nothing. Be- ing possessed of average brain power they are supposed to be able to look out for themselves. The wearing-out process is a most disagreeable one, engendering a sour manner, a pevish super-sensitive disposi- tion and many kindred evils that reflect, not alone on the individual. but also upon our neighbors who are unfortunate enough to be in our vicinity. In ovér eating we have a. similar con- dition, and Moses recognized that fact, though perhaps in a. quieter way, but; the result is equally bad, for in the train of gluttony we have gout, and victims of that disease are not agreeable eompanions. The Wearing Ont Process. Has a. person any more right to indulge in intemperance in working; than to drink or eat to excess. " This is a. fair, honest question. Each is injurious: each, in its injury effects not only the individual, but the entire family. The person who drinks to excess is a recognized nuisance to the community, an evil to his family and a. bane to himself. The penalty is loss of mental po_wer, poverty and degradation. When this is generally seen, then, and perhaps not till then, will the physical training of the young receive all the atten- tion it deserves. â€"[Herbert Spencer. It is true that in the case of drunkenness the viciousness of a bodily transgression is recognized : but none appear to infer that if this bodily transgression is vicious, so too is every bodily transgression. The fact 18, that all breaches of the laws of health are_physicifl sins. Men’s habitual words and Ects imply that they are at liberty to treat their bodies as they please. Disorder, entailed by disobedience to nature's dictates, they regard as grievances, not as the effects of a conduct more or less fiegitious. Though the evil consequences inflicted on their descendants, and on future generations. are often as great as those caused by crime, yet they do not think themselves in any degree criminal. Perhaps nothing will so much hasten the time when body and mind will both be adequately cared for, as a. diffusion of the belief that the preservation of health is a. duty. Few seem conscious that there is such a. thing‘as physical_ morality. “Disinfection, if properly carried out, is an extremely useful means of preventing the spread of contagious diseases. Fumigation by sulphur is entirely inefficient. The walls ceilings, floors, furniture of the rooms treat- ed must be subjected to the actual contact of the catholic solution, or to whatever suitable disinfecting agent may be em- ployed. Isolation from the community at Inge of person suffering from disease is one of the methods most universally employed, as it is also one of the most useful. In private households thisjs usually done by setting apart the flick m that part of the dwelling which admits of the least communication with the other parts, while every means for the conveyance of the infectious materials from the sick-room is carefully guarded agave”. unw- One of the most important things to be Lborne in mind by those who have children is the necessity of maintaining a. healthful condition of the nutrition. This constitutes nature’s own 11181qu of preventing disease.
