Another game much relished by the
young men is spear throwing The young
men of on o street in a village, or of a
whole village, are matched against those
of another. At the appointed time they
meet and after fixing upon n mark at it
distance of thirty or forty feet one of
I In mtcstHiit*. throw.* a small wooden
hlHNir . ► that it. may strike the ground
-.ml then spring upward and onward in
fhe direct ion of the target. Ho is fol
lOW<M I by oe.u of the opposing party, and
alternately until all of the spot
one to each contestant—are cast. “ l’liose
who come nearest to the mark arc do
dared the victors. V* in the majority of
tlie games indulged in by the Samoans,
the forfeit is a grand feast at the expense
of the Viinquishwl party.
A more dangerous variation of this
MimiMCinent consists in one of the vo,„ lg
warriors placing himself at a certain d(s
t iitce from his companions and prrmittinc
them to east tlmir • pear.* at him. He is
in ided with no shield, but is armed
ith a club with which Iu* wards off tb<
blow aim •.( him. Some of them ex
bibit a wonderful degree of dexterity in
icuryuig spear after spear as they are

young and old, furnish an unlimited

The opposing players then bundle up

\n Artiwt Who Paints Blackened

“Free Lunch Factories”—
Second Hand Dealers.
-- J
Everybody in the country knows of { i
‘he humane and ingenious New Yorkers
who paint over the bruises of those who
have had the misfortune to get blackened
-ye**, and who feel the moral humiliation
>r the inferential reflection upon their
prowess that such bruises cafTV with
them. In the language of commerce
these eye restorers fill u long-felt waht.
So do the strong-luoged colored women
who sell hot corn from kettles df boiling
water on the uptown coiners on autumn
nights, and the men who patrol the city
through the wee small hours after
night peddling cold fried soft-shell crabs
in the places of resort. So, also, do the
half-dozen druggists who never close
their doors from vMr’send to year's end,
»nd the very many restaurateurs in the -
city whose tables prove that there are
thousands of "New Yorkers who partake
>f an unclassified meal between midnight
and breakfast. Allied with the human
awls of the city in some vague way ifi the
enterprising lawyer whose sign, adorning
upper Broadway, proclaims “this office
ooen open all all night. night.”
There are other old irregularities that
have growu up on the borders of the
practice of the law. In one of the dovvu
town streets in a poor quarter of the
town is the office of a lawyer connected
with a charitable movement whose sign
offers “legal advice free.” Then there
lawyers in the city who keep runners
at the City prisons to dbtain clients among
he helpless folks who find themselves in
jail. And there are, also, the lawyers
who carefully read the papers in order to

I fidor Ice and Snow,
At the recent meeting of the British
Association for the Advancement of
Science Dr Frightof Nansen, the young
Norweigiau explorer who was the first
Person kuown t0 tave fio>*ed Greenland
from s bore to shore, gave an account in
brief of the journey from which he has
returned ami its result .*.
Scientists hau differed asto the proba
Die condition of interior Greenland, some
maintaining that it was ice and snowclad
others disputing it. Dr. Nansen is
-able to speak tor Southern Greenland, at
l cast .
His expedition has apparently settled
the fact that that part was not only ice
dad aud snowclad. but had a mighty
shell-shaped covering of snow and ice
under which mountains, as well as valleys,
hafi T ! ’te disappeared stud where they
«ould not even trace the configuration Of
thc lan<i aD<l mountains. The ice cover
iu g hud the shape of a shield. It rose
rapidly, but irregularly from the east
coast, reached a height of 9000 feet to
10,000 feet, was rather flat and even in
the middlfe and fell again regularly to
ward the west coast, li had a striking
resemblance to the undisturbed surface
of a frozen ocean, the long, but nothigh,
billows of which, rolling from east to
west > "were not easily distinguishable to
the eye. Beneath this apparent level,
1>r - Nansen believed, are mountains and
valleys.
The study of the glacial period can be
carried on with unusual facilities in
Greenland, which has not yet emerged
from it: Dr Nansen said that when its
present glacial period commented the
snow grew annually; the valleys were
«Ded up, the mountains disappeared and
the snow field was produced which they
now saw. It seemed as if the ice varied
littld ficim drib year to another, but
to to lie oc the uu oressure pressuie which v.mcn was i\as nrodncod pioauced
within that immense laver of ice and
snow -
At one end of this pressure forced the
downward along the sloping sides of
| | ward mountains into through which the it valleys fell an^to- in the
the sett
1 'T" st re f. n, ff d * l *™**\ and
earned A a Way in . the frirm Of icebergs br
was meltfid. but the pressure brought the
; ice to the sea, not only in the form of ice,
but also, and certainly in larger quanti
| ties, portant iu the factor form of water. The the most and im
m converting snow
ioe into water was the warmth produced
; by the pressure and friction. The move
Hfgfialfind is studied the more certain it
beedmes that ice has the ability to form
j Midi and valleys like those scooped out

Causes of Quaker Longevity,
It is quite true that many “Friends’
live long. It is equally true that certain
circumstances in their history militate
long life. Among these latter
j u tg } marriage is perhaps the most im
portant of all. The followers of George
Fox have never been very numerous, but
until late years they have been extremely
exc ] us } ve The inevitable result of that
^ beeu extensive intermarriage
throughout the whole community. The
consequences of the frequency of inter
kldiit. marriage hitve been and are still very ev

The Waves of the Sea.
A very satisfactory experiment foi

w ,s made recently by the Hon. Ralph
Abercromby. a member of a British
scientific expedition through the South
Pacific.
Within a year there was an account '
published in the Sun of some calculations 1
made bv an observer from a ship's top
m.-st. The latter climbed to a point at
which when bis ship lay in the trough of
the sea he was on a level with the crest
of tbe waves. These observations were
made off Cape Horn, and thev led fo the
belief that notwithstanding all previous
