THE SEXTANT.
An Instrument Prominent In Polar
j Expeditions,
! Arctic explorers hive reported the
use of the sextant in their polar
I trips. Thin instrument, which is
' small enough to be conveniently held
! in the hand, is equally well adapted
for measuring the altitude of celea
! tial objects, in order to obtain the
i latitude and local time, or for meat-
uring the angle betwirn the moon
and sun. or me moon and a nxeu
star, to ascertain tlte longitude.
It is called sextant because the
measure is recorded on an arc of (10
degrees, one-sixth of acircle. Itcon
sists of a frame, usually of metal,
stiffened by cross braces. The arc
at the bottom of the frame is mark
ed off with double the number of de
grees actually measured. This is
done because the fixed and movable
glasses attached to the instrument
give a double reliction of the ob
jects observed, and thus form an an
gle with reference to each other
equal to only half the angular dis
tance between, such objects, one of
which is seen directly and the other
by rellection. Tho arc of 120 de
grees thus records the actual angle.
Midway on the frame on one side
is a tclesne, and opposite, on the
other leg of the frame, is a glass,
transparent in the upper half and
silvered in the lower half. Itoth the
telescope and the glass are lirmly
attached to the frame. At the t p of
the frame is a mirror, which is mov
able by means of an arm to which it
is fastened. This is called the index
glass. There is a shifting scale for
making factional measurements call
ed a vernier.
Arabian astronomers are credited
with having used a sextant as far
back as the year 015. with a radius
of 5! feet 9 jnches. The modern in
strument was invented independent
ly about 17.10 by Thomas Godfrey
of Philadelphia and Capt. Hadley of
the British navy.

THE LICE OF AN ESOCIMAl'.
Arctic Women Marry Younc and
In rtany Caes Several Timet.
Courtships In th f ar North Art
Hrtef and Strenuous.
There is probably a no more prim
itive race of people on the face of the
earth than the FaqHimaus. Although
explorers and scientists who are fa
miliar with life in the Arctic stoutly
maintain that once one has become
used to it, existence among the na
tives is Dot at all a disagreeable
thing, to the lay mind the idea is
nhing less than disgusting The
following description of dainty
meal in the far north, for instance,
may be very interesting to read about
but one ran scarcely conceive of a
white mans becoming addicted to
such a menu.
First the Fsquimau's housewife
serves soup in a bowl that sb has
permitted the dogs to clean, and if
an elaborate feast is in progress, with
some explorer as guest, she starts on
ita rounds a decomposed seal's head,
from which the host gnaws the first
piece. Next follows raw st ol liver.

meat dripping with blood, and tbea

Some explorers learn, liketbe natives,
to draw their ribbon like delicacy
through their teeth, and C. F. Hall
says that he asked for more. Nan
sen testifies to liking all KfUimaii
seal dishes except the hair, which
never seems to trouble a native
throat.
TIIK V.OMKN OK TUB ARCTIC.
According to Knud Rasmussen,
the hanish explorer and the foremost
authority in Arctic hie, The hs.iui
maus are much like animals. The
men love their wives, but when the
fancy takes them, when they are sat
isfied with love, they maltreat them
in a manner that we civilized men
would consider brutal. But, say the
K.siiuimaus, if alTection is to be kept
alive, the women must feel occasion
ally that the man is strong." Once,
when the explorer saw a native beat
ing his wife and jumping on her
prostrate body with both feet, he felt
inclined to iuterfere until he observ
ed the woman's brother laughing
and saying that it w.h good enough
for a wife who refused to sharpen
her spouse's hunting knife. Within
an hour of this savage quarrel hus
band and wife were happily recon
ciled, with their arms about each
other's necks.
In western Arctic land a young
woman in superb fur costume will
entertain and serve strange guests
with the best in ber house, and,
since only strong Esquimau teeth
can masticate their dishes of frozen
meat and fish, she will insist upon
chewing, first, the portions which
she sets before such voyager as may
take her fancy. This is a function
which her eastern sister does not
perform for guests. In most sections
of Arctic lireenland it is a young
woman's duty to help visitors ofi
with their outer clothing and boots.
Still nearer the pole, as narrated, if
an explorer, according to habit, ex
tends his foot to have a boot remov
ed, the young woman selected for
this task exhibits all the confusion
proper to a sudden offer of marriage,
the while her people stand by laugh
ing and urging her to remove the
boot and thus clinch her matrimo
nial engagement.
AN ARCTIC I'Ol RTSlHI'.
Arctic women marry young, and
occasionally several times before they
are suited or suit their permanent
husbands. Arctic courtships are
brief, and there is seldom lovemak
ing beforehand. Usually a bachelor
in march of a wife and Fsiuiinaus
marry when yet mere boys goes to
the house of the fair one, smes her
by the hair, or anywhere else that
offers a firm hold, and drags her to
his home, she meantime shrieking
and struggling as if she wero being
murdered, while her family gaze iu
differently or smilingly on at her
courtship. The more high bred the
girl the greater her struggles and
outcries and the longer she keeps
these up, it being considered the cor
rect thing for her to "carry on" for
two or three days, even to the extent
of running home after her place
upon the Esquimau sleeping bench
portioned umongfrom three to ten
families has been assigned ber. In
addition to this place and its warm
skins, her bridegroom often presents
her with a new lamp, lamp table
and water pail. Although the young
husband may be aware that bis wife
entertains an affection for him, if
she carries her observance of wed-

own: or when a homesick girl wants
to visit br people, when, if her hus
band cannot take her, some other
man undertakes the journey and
leaves his wife as hostage, itefrac
tory wives are exchanged also by
way of punishment.
An Esquimau always travels with
his wife or a borrowed one; there
fore the wifeless plight of our ex
plorcrs awakens astonishment and
compassion. Willing ladies are of
fered them, one being recommended
to Count von Moltke as having "the
longest hair in the settlement and a
perfectly new foxskin dress," both
highly prized possessions in Arctic
land.
If Arctic wooings are brief, di
vorcesalthough uncommon, partic
ularly among persons married for as
long as two or three years are equ
ally simple. When a wife sees a
husband take up another place upon
the sleeping bench a broad, raised
platform around half an Esquimau
dwelling she says nothing, but
next morning gathers up her be
longings and goes home.
lloW SKINS ARK I'RKI'ARKH.
Arctic women use their teeth for
chewing out fat from skins of beasts
and birds with which their jackets
aro made and lined and their bed
covering manufactured. This pro
cess makes the skins very pliable
and soft, and Greenland skins are
sought in commerce for their good
qualities. The women prepare all
the skins and covers for boats and
houses, besides making all the cloth
ing This necessity for having a
wife to prepare and work with skins
is the reason that Esquimau men
marry as soon as they can support a
wife. It often happens that an old
woman who has used her teeth to
make boot material and then to keep
the boots soft on the feel;- to hold
skins while scraping them as well as
to scrape with and clean her slate-
stone knife scraper, will wear down
theseuseful members to mere stumps.
As soon as the women at meal
time have cooked in stone kettles,
hanging over the sonpstono family
lamp, such of the food as they do
not prefer raw or frozen, and have
served the men, they retire to the
back of the sleeping bench and sew
or work at their domestic tasks, sit
ting cross-legged, and listening to
stories of the chase related by hunt
ers, who sit upon the front edge of
the bench allotted to men in the
usual posture.
Sometimes a woman busies herself
in licking her child, tongue washing
being all the bath many little ones
receive. Every morning she must
rull up the bedding and prepare the
bench for day uses. She must clean
the semi-circular, flat, saucer-like
lamp of stone, replenish its moss
wick upon the straight side and fill
it with train oil from sealskin sacks,
taking a sip or so of the oil mean
time. All night the lamps burn. I'.squi-
maus dread darkness, and it is con
sidered evidence of extreme poverty
not to be able to burn a lamp all
night to keep out ghosts.
here Europeans have intruded,
the ambition of many an Esquimau
is to get intoxicated. A wife takes
great pride in seeing her husband
arrive at this slate, and more pleas
ure in achieving it herself. One
wpman confided to Nansen that she
loved brandy, not because she liked
the taste of it, but because it was so
delightful to be drunk.
The Way Ha Reckoned It.
Uev, Daniel Isaacs, a Western cler
gyman, once alighted at an inn to
stay over night. On asking for a
bed he was told that he could not
have one, as there was to be a ball
that evening and all the beds were
engaged.
"At what time does the ball break
up?" asked Mr. Isaacs.
About 3 in the morning, sir.
Well, then, can I have a bed un
til that time?"
Yes, certainly; but if the bed is
asked for you will nave to remove.
"ery well, replied 11 r. Isaacs
and away he went to get between
the sheets.
About 3 in the morning he was
awakened by loud knocking at his
chamber door.
"What do you want?" he asked.
"How many are there of you in
there? inquired a voice.
There a me and Daniel and Mr.
Isaacs and an old Methodist preach
er, was the reply.
"Then there s plenty of you.
And the speaker passed on, leav
ing Mr. Isaacs to enjoy his bed.

It is the very nature of seltishness
to defeat its own ends. The practice
of seltishness contracts, limits; stran

There are rich men in New York
who are conspicuously noted for the
absence of their names fnim among
those connected with all worthy ob
jects men who never give to the
poor, who never lend a hand to any
just cause. They take no interest in
politics, have no public spirit, belong
to no organizations whoso object is
to help humanity.
They are entirely and completely
wrapied up in themselves. They di
not see why they should spend their
money for other than their pleasure
or that of their families. The result
is that they become so hardened and
greedy that they are not missed when
they have passed away. Not long
ago one of these men worth millions
died in New York, and scarcely a
half dozen people outside of his fam
ily went to his funeral.
hat good are such people to a
community? They are like noxious
weeds or plants which sap nourish
ment from the soil, and so poison
the ground about them that nothing
else can grow in their vicinity. They
give out nothing. Their money is
like, the tracks of the smaller and
more innocent animals which go into
the dens of the lions and tigers in
Africa. Their toes are alwavs toward
the dens, nothing that is eatablo ever
comes back from them.
The time will come when such men
will be looked iix)n as scourges of
the race and will die disgraced.
No matter how much money you
may manage to get together, or what
position you may gain, you will be a
monster if your sympathies, your
heart qualities, have not been devel-
oped; and this is impossible while
your mind is centered on yourself.
No man can be human while he is
thoroughly selfish. Warmth of heart,
tenderness, kindness, a sympathetic,
nature, love for one's kind are really
the qualities that make us human.
ithout these we are brutes, no mat
ter how gorgeous our apparel or bow
palatial our homes, livery man is
an animal until his sympathies and
love for Ins fellow man are aroused.
The power of relieving distress is
one of the greatest advantages of
wealth; the trouble with most people
is, however, that w hen they have ac-
mtred the money and are able to re
lieve dsstress, they usually lose the
inclination to do so. Seltishness,
which is often a minoi failing of the
very poor, in the rich develops into
a dangerous beast. It feeds and
thrivt s upon gre d, and often assumes
the proportions of a monster in the
selfabsorbed millionaire.
A person who constantly thinks of
himself, how he can advance his own
interests, never develops his manlier
qualities, his finer sentiments. The
self-centering thought never reaches
out into tho, larger, nobler part of
our nature. The better qualities of
a selfish person are dwarfed, unde
veloped. The colder, more barren
qualities so predominate in his make
up that he thinks of others only as
possiblo helps to himself.
ttet away from yourself, interest
yourself in others; love them, help
them, or you will become as cold,
barren and heartless as an icicle.
There is only one way to develop
sympathy without which man is
but a beast and that is by loving,
taking an interest in, and trying to
help others.
Real happiness was born a twin
and must be shared or lost.

The late Bishop Fowler was a
broad minded man. Bigotry he ub
horred. Creed, he claimed, should
never hedge one good christian from
another. Sincere creeds, no matter
how diverse, should, on the contrar;,
bind christians together.
Bishop Fowler used to tell about
a young couple, John Smith and
Hannah Jones.
John Smith was a Presbyterian,
Hannah Jones was a Baptist. They
hesitated about marrying because
they feared that in after life, when
the little ones came, religious dis
putes might arise. Thus the years
passed. Neither would renounce his
church. John Smith grew bald and
Hannah Jones doveloicd lines about
her mouth and eyes. It was a com

Whitewashed coal is rather a novel

as many tons at destination, often

in when the car was turned over for
transportation, says Popular Me

Two or three Urns may be remov

AS THE CHILDREN SEf: IT.
London Youngsters W rite Essays
on the North I'ole.
Over in Imdon they have adopted
the principle of educating school
children by means of present day
topics. In one school, after repeated
lectures by the teacher, the children
were asked lo write essays on the re
cent discovery of the North I'ole.
Here are selections from some of
these literary efforts:
"There is now a lot of talk almil
the discovery of the North I'ole,"
commences a girl of ID. "Ir. Cook
was supposed to have reached it, but
when he got there ('apt. I'eary came
up over the side and told Mr. Conk
the pole belonged to him. Thev
both became very angry and waxed
the Stars and Stripes, but presently
agreed to leave it in the lands of
the President of America."
Says another: "A lot of jMiiple
have been trying to find the North
I'ole, but when thry got there tliey
died, and their bones were found by
Dr. Cook and Capt. lVarv. The rea
son why Ir. Cook and ('apt. I'eary
did not die was because they were
Americans."
The following is the result of a
serious effort by a little girl who has
mixed the North and South poles:
"A lot of men have been trying to
reach the North and South poles, and
at last there have been two lr.
Cook and Capt. I'eary, but Ir. Cook
was the first. It is very cold ?t the
North I'ole and always snowing, but
there is nothing to lie seen but fields
of snow. That is whv it is called
the North I'ole. Lieut. Shackleton
tried to get there, but went the
wrong way. Mother savs that soon
there will be airships living around
the North I'ole."
One youthful essavist is of the
opinion that Mrs. I'eary accompanied
her husband lo the North role. I he
