hunt, Having beqn duly prepared for the
the party, consisting of from twen¬
ty to forty skilled otter hunters, armed
un 1 equipped with all the paraphernalia
and supplies essential to an extended
absence, proceeds to the spot previously
selected as the camping ground, and
which must not bo visible from the sea.
Here they establish themselves tempor¬
arily, ami, having settled matters per¬
taining to cairfp duty, are then ready and
anxious to commence operations at the
first opportunity afforded by a smooth
sea.
The long looked for quiet day having
nt length arrived, tho party, after a brief
invocation of the uiigltAier spirits, cm
barks, fully equipped, two and two, in
their bidarkas, A bidarka is a sort of
• anoc made of the skin of the sca-lioa or
hair-seal stretched over a light wooden
Lame, and though seldom exceeding
twenty live feet in length by thirty inches
in breadth, and weighing less than 100
pounds, yet so strong are they that, ex
elusive of a crew of 300 pounds, goods
aggregating as much as H00 pouuds arc
often carried in them. With the exeep
lion of two circular holes equidistant
Irom either end and from each other, in
wliieii the occupants of the frail craft
“squat” upon their heels, tho bidarka is
completely decked over.
Clad in their kamleikas, w'ater-proof
shirts of whale, seal or bear intestines,
tho bottoms of which they fasten around
the combings of the hatches, their sleeves
secured tightly to the wrist, and the
opening for tho head drawn up c'osely
about the neck, whole seas might wash
entirely over both bout and . upants
withoui a drop ojf . n-r g»;t.ir»,g
This is anecessary precaution, as, though
smooth and calm cnougn at the start, it
is quite' possible and even likely, owipg
to the long tin* distance which they have to
go, that party may meet with heavy
weather ere they reach the land. As an
additional security, when tlie sea is too
heavy to make headway against, they col
lect in groups of three or four canoes,
and lashing them together, ride out the
storm in safety. When any water finds
its way inside, which it sometimes does
through the seams of the skin, it ] s
pumped out by means of a small wooden
tube which the native sucks full, then
by removing bis finger, which lie has
placed over the lower end (if the tube, to
reiain its contents until clear of the
bidarka, the water runs out into the sea.
The operation is continued until the boat
is dry.
Once started on a voyage the peredov
chik or leadei assumes entire command
and silence falls on the little flotilla.

a hundred yards
from the next, and the occupants keep¬
ing a 1 way3 a vigilant lookout both on
ihe surface of the water and the other
boats.
As soou as a hunter sights the glossy
head of an otter, he raises His ] addle
and points iu the direction in which the
animal was seeu. The scattered bi
darkas then close up so as to form an ex
tended circle about the spot indicated,
aud still in silence await the reappear
auco of the otter. This is sure .o be m
about ten minutes, as at the end of that
interval he must come to the surface to
breathe, going down again after remain
ing there a few seconds. Should he
come up within the circle of boats they
gnulually close in, beating the water
with their padd es ‘o bewdder the ani
mal and to keep it witluu the e\er-nar
rowing ring. Occasionally however,

change their base before tma. \ securing
tile prize.
As soon as the pursued animal shows
himself within spear's 'throw the earnest
hunter, rising to his knees, hurls a shaft
jit it. Lodging in its s^in near the
head, we will say, the otter immediately
tries to dive. In view of this trait the
spear is construe ted in just such a
nor as to retard its progress as much as
possible. To that end the head is set so
loosely in its socket that the recoil of
striking causes the shaft to detach itscif,
leaving the head securely embedded m

culminates in a bridle, each end of which
is secured to either extremity of the
shaft. This causes it to drag broadside
to, in winch position it offers the great
cst resistance to the water On some
spears there is attacucd mar the foot an
inflated bladder used as a buoy, thougu
it also acts as an additiona. drag.
Naturally, wita ml this to prevent his
rapid escape, t ie o well ter s lomy exhausted comes to
the surface, preriy wit a
his exertions, and at no great distauee
from where he vs as hr» struex. As he
makes his appearance, spears, auows
and darts are how indifferently lauuehed
at his devoted body. The poor annual

efforts and bleeding wounds, his motions

have less energy ami vigor, and he soon
floats up to receive his death stroke.
The carcass is then skinned in the water,
care being taken not 10 dislodge any
spear or arrow' heads from the skin, and
taken into one of the bidarkas, when, if
the weather is still propitious, the hunt
continues.
On the return of the party to land
each otter skin is inspected by the chief
iu the presence of all hands, and the
tuiued ownership of the different skins ascer^
by means of the points embeded
therein, «aeh of which is marked with
the owner’s sign or brand. Curiously
enough, the weapon nearest the tail car¬
ries off the prize, whereas he who first
succeeded in placing a barb, which
virtually was the means of the animal’s
destruction, receives but from $2 to #10
from the owner, according to tho value
of the skin.
Nowadays, as soon as the resuit of a
hunt has been determined, the peredov
chik reminds the hunters of their duty to
the church, and with the unanimous con
sent of the entire party some skin, us
ually a small one, is donated to that in
^titution, all the rest of the successful
hunters uniting to reimburst the donor,

usually profitable one, the schools also
receive presents of this sort.
Should it happen, as it not infre
ffuently docs, that the party has been un
fortunate in the first day’s quest, they
sim ply return to camp and await another
opportunity to test their dexterity; for
they nevor think of leaving a place once

appreciation ot the good things of this

Quite a little murmur of ad.niratiou
and a notable craning of masculine necks
greeted Lady Loveday as she made her
appearance in the Town liaU of Mud
Chester on the night of the op ening ad

toilette forms no part ox the programme
to the ladies who attend meetings of the
British Association, the advancement of
science being more important in their
eyes than the plaiting of hair and wear
ing of gold. And so Lena was able to
make her little sensation. She entered
the large hall alone, for Sir James was
a3 ready in his place on the platform, and
was even preccde^the ^iviim the op?nin”S*a. preliminary coimh

Thc opening address was an enor
mous success, as it always is. During the
week P°P ul< *r enthusiasm, cooled by
many scientific lectures, may abate; but
on the opening night no judsre on the
bench is surer of a laugh than the emi
nent scientist who opens the meeting,
The mildest jokelets are received with
rapture, the feeblest similes get around

gists and botanists by the time the large
audience filing ^

Thursday Lady Loveday, won t you?”

Lady Loveday smiled, and made up
her mind to the inevitable. After ail.
he was only a little worse than the rest,
AU the young men at the meeting wore
turndown collars, and coats which had
apparently been made for somebody
else. ’
.
- “I shall be delighted,” she said, m
her most cordial tone. “Where are you
going, and what are you going to do to
un prove met”.
“Oh. it's an expedition down a salt
mine. We shall have to take yon down
in a bucket. You won’t mind, will
you?" urged the weak-eyed young
eagerly.
-‘Not at all, if you will insure the
rope not breaking. ” *
But, all tho game, when Thursday
arrived, and Lena found herself alone at
the railway station? —lot Sir James had a
conlniHtee meeting that morning, and
could only join her later in , the day—
she lelt somewhat depressed at the
prospect before her. I here was a large
und somewhat weird-looking crowd on
the platform. A slight drizzle was fall
rng, and the ladies of the party had
unanimously elected to appear ui bag
like waterproof garments, though, to be
sure^. their male kind ran them hard in
the matter of curious raiment. Most of
the travelers had invested in paper bags
fu]l of Bath buns, for an expedition
with the British Association is generally
fraught with peril in the mutter of sup¬
plies. The weak-eyed young man was
in a state of excitement bordering on
delirium Lady Loveday sighed ns her
eye ran ever the mass of pushing, per¬
spiring* be-mackiutoshed hiimati btiiigS
on the platform.
“There isn’t a soul here that I want to
speak to,” she thought, settling into the
comfortable corner-place which the
youthful professor had secured for her;
and then, as her eye caught the square
shouldered back of a check-coated, man
in the distance, sha added* mentally:
“That looks like a nice man. Ilis bait
“ cut bca “ " y short >, : “" d he 8 ef *
brown neck and a properly ironed collar.
H e reminds me of poor D,ck.”
But directly after, the tram steamed
out of the station and Lady Loveday s
reminiscences came to an end. She had
to make conversation with her cicerone
for the day, and a wliole carriageful bf
other people. By the time they had
arrived at the pit’s mouth and were
waiting their turn to.g - o down, Lena was
not sure that she wanted to engage in
such a perilous experiment.
Only a quarter of the trainful of peo
pie could be accommodated under the
shed which covered the shaft, the rest
were waiting outside. Finally, however,
she was jammed with some seven or
eight other people, including her scienti
fic admirer, in the baize-covered bucket,
and was emptied out, after an
descent through ft black void, into thv
browu-w T allcd cavern at the bottom. The
mine liad been decorated with thousands
of candles in honor of the event, and each
visitor was provided with a tallow dip
stuck into a w'ooden handle. Down in
the depths of the mine the Scotch pro
fessor waxed confidential.
“This man is getting a bore,” thought
Lady Loveday; “I must really evade
somehow;” and with another turn
of the rock she managed to slip aw
from him. Candle in lnmd, she follow; J
a efrtiy srr«up .of ueonlo th'Cjf^Tty— in front of ho-, n
u i“ vum • n
whose back she had seen on the platform
—stopped, and, with an' action which
she recognized at once, struck a match,
stooped his head, and lighted a cigarette,
“Why, it is Dick!” she murmured;
and just then he turned and saw' her.
“I thought you were in—Afghanistan,”
she w 7 eut on, hurriedly, as he stood gaz
ing "“So at her.
I have been, for the last two
years. That frontier business took
longer than I thought. And you?”
Lady Loveday blushed and looked
dowm. Here was an p.dventure after her
own heart. She was a curious mixture
of practical worldliness and theoretical
sentimentality. She had liked him, hand¬
some, penniless Captain Bramwell, more
than any man she had ever known, and
ho—well, she was quite aware he had
worshiped the very ground she trod on.
But all that was three years ago, and iu
three years there are mauy changes.
“I saw you the other night,” he con
tinued, presently; “you came in an aw
fully fetching cloak, with a white, fluffy
thing round your neck. I’ve been trying
to find you out ever since, but nobody
thatl asked could tell me anything about
"
Miss Gardner.”
Lady Loveday smiled. He did not
know of her marriage, theu? The ca
price took her not to tell him just
she wanted, womanlike, to see ii he had
remained faithful all these years.
“Oh, I’m such an insignificant person
iu the midst of all these bigwigs.”
Dick smiled back at her—hc had a
charming smile—and they wandered
along together, each with a tallow dip
flickering aud spluttering, aud fitfully
lighting their handsome young faces. She
had not altered one bit, he said; and she
declared he was as brown a3 a Hindoo,
and would have to be scraped white.
Time flies when Gld lovers meet, and
nearly an hour had gene before Dick had
told her that he had come down to the
association to read a paper in the geo
graphical section Wou'.d she come and
hear it? Of course, of couse «»hc would!
Po0 r old Dick! Why, he was just as
hard hit, she firmly believed, as ever.
When they at length cot back to the
bottom of the shafU there was not a soul
to be seen. The awful truth began to
dawn upon thAn that they had been left
behind. How easy that might be, with
the five or six hundred people who had
come with the excursion, they both saw
at a glance. What was to be done?
Nothing—absolutely nothing. Lady
Loveday turned greenish white as
she leaned against the rock. •
* : Sir James,” she moaned—“Sir
James would never let me die like a dog
in ~
a hole.”
“Sir James?” said Dick, surprised.
“You meau the President? U he
great fnend of yours? ’
"He is O my poor Die.i!—he ^ ^ is—my _
husband!” she faltered, not daring to
look at mm now. Captain Bramwell
gave a little whistle and turned
What « farce, and how like Lena the
whole thing was! Ladv Loveday did
‘ *
not see him smile.
“Forgive me!” she murmured, step
ping nearer to him, and, iavimr “was a caress

what they said in plays, when the old
lover came back from* India and found
the heroine faithless.
“My poor child,” he answered grave
Ij, “I’ll forgive you anything—as long
as we ever'get out of this pit.”
Lena could hardly conceal her disap
pointment. Was it possible-actuaily
possible-that he did not care, that he
not remember? It couldn't be he

Teeth- anil Hair Not Indispensable.
With us there is, to say the least, a
strong and decided prejudice in favor of
luxuriant tresses and pearly teeth. But
it is only a prejudice, and by no means
universal. • IVe see no lack of beauty in
the infant's naked, rosy scalp, or iu its
sweet little toothless mouth. We even
see a kind of majestic beauty in the ivory
dome that covers the sage’s busy brain,
A white, shining billiard ball is by no

can fancy its beauty improved by cover
B\g half of it with a coat of hair, how
ever soft and silky, lustrous, brown or
golden. Birds had teeth once; how
should we welcome a prospect of the re¬
turn, a retrogression, to their former
semi-reptilian!; condition?* Would you
think your ^nary or your brilliant-hued
cockatoo improved in its appearance it
the smoothieven edges of its bill were
garnished with saws of pearly teeth like
a little feathered and winged alligator?
The possession of a full complement of
teeth has always been regarded as an in¬
dispensable condition of perfect health,
To our prehistoric ancestors, who had no
other grain mills than their molars, it
must have been so, and the modern sol¬
dier in active service would find his
hard-tack and leathery salt beef rather
unsatisfactory fare without the dental in¬
tegrity w’hich the examining surgeon so
properly insists upon. But the constant¬
ly improving science of cookery supplies
the repiedy for the civilian, and as to the
soldier, he is, like his tegtb, a relic of
undeveloped civilization. The “dogs of
war’ must go, teeth and all. Experience
hus demonstrated that the luxurious diet
of civilization, which gives so little for
the teeth to do, is, on the whole, more
conducive to vitality and longevity than
