I wonder if a single one of my readers really knows what hunger is? Henson and myself were worn to the bone with scant rations and hard work, and that hard work had left the little covering on our bones in the shape of lean, tense muscles and wires of sinew. The supper from the hare—that meal of fresh, hot, luscious meat, the first adequate meal in nearly 600 miles of daily snowshoeing—had wakened every merciless hunger fang that during | the previous weeks had been grad ually dulled into insensibility. It had been the taste of freshly spilled blood to the long tamed tiger, and now the big black animals before us were not game, but meat, and every nerve and fiber in my gaunt body was vibrating with a savage lust for that meat —meat that should be soft and warm, meat into which the teeth could sink and tear and rend, meat that would not blister lips and tongue with its frost, nor ring like a rock against the teeth. Panting i and quivering with excitement, we lay for a few moments. We could not risk a shot at that distance. “Do you think they will come for us?” said Matt. , “God knows! I hope so, boy, for * then we are sure of some of them. Are you ready ?” “Yes, sir.” , “Come on, then.” One of us one side of the big bowl der, the other the other, and we dashed across the rocks and snow straight toward them. There was a snort and stamp from the big bull guarding the herd, and the next in stant every animal was on his feet and, thank God, facing us. The next they were in close line, with lower ed heads and horns. I could have yelled for joy if I had had the breath to spare. Every one of us has read I some of the thrilling stories of trav- I elers in the Russian forests, chased by hungry wolves, and our feelings j have been wrought up to the highest pitch of sympathy for the poor fel lows in their efforts to escape. But did any of us ever stop to think how those other poor fellows, the wolves, felt with their empty stomachs? I know now what their feelings are, and my sympathies are with the wolves. I was a wolf myself at that f moment. We were within less than 50 yards of the herd when the big bull, with I a quick motion, lowered his horns still more. Instinct, Providence— mejtjyqs. ed my and sent a bullet at the back of his neck over the white, impervious shield of the great horns. Heart and I soul and brain and eyes went with that singing bullet. I felt that I was strong enough and hungry enough and wolf enough that, had the bull been alone, I could have sprung upon him barehanded and torn the lifeblood from his throat,but against the entire herd we would have been powerless. Once the black ava lanche had gained momentum we would have been crushed by it like the crunching snow crystals under our feet. As the bull fell upon his knees the herd wavered. A cow half turned and, as Matt’s rifle crack ed, fell with a bullet back of her fore shoulder. Without raising my rifle above my hips, another one dropped. Then another for Matt. Then the herd broke, and we hur ried in pursuit.—Lieutenant Peary in Windsor Magazine. The Tomb of The tomb is reached by a descent of 20 or more slippery, worn and of course dirty steps. The Moslems regard Lazarus as a saint and have erected a mosque over the place of his burial. Chris tians are, of course, forbidden to en- • ter this mosque, and thus the steps (made in the sixteenth century) down which we have entered are ac counted for. In fact, there is now, i I believe, no entrance from the J mosque. The stairway leads to a small, square antechamber. Turn to your left through a doorway, and you are in the tomb proper, which is made to hold three or four bodies. On the east side is possibly the orig inal entrance, now walled up. The tomb is high enough to stand up right in and is cut in the solid rock and lined with masonry. It is large enough to hold quite a company. As to its identity with the historic tomb of Sacred Writ, opinion is di vided. We have accounts of its be ing visited in the twelfth century. That it is a very ancient tomb and one of the same character cannot possibly be well disputed. However, we accept it for what we have known it to be for at least seven or eight centuries—the tomb of Lazarus.—H. O. Tanner in A. M. E. Church Review.

Everybody that came along stopped either to make inquiries or elbowed in toward the window to see what the attrac tion was. Inside was a magnificent white headed eagle. There was a chain from its right foot to a huge piece of iron, some water in a pan, an untouched piece of fish, a few sods and a large card with the words “For Sale.” The big bird's wings drooped on either side to its feet. Its eyes were glazed and dim looking. It opened and shut them now and then, but never once turned them to the jos tling, noisy crowd that stood just outside the glass. There were no marks of violence to be seen, but the dull, pathetic eyes, the drooping wings, the soiled white about the head and the ruffled feathers over the body showed that the captive had been in chains much longer than it had been in the window. One of the crowd in the street was a sturdy young farmer who had come into town early that morning. He had pushed his way to the front and stood looking in silence for a long time at the great, helpless bird. He was sure he had seen it before. It had been captured, he learned from what some of the crowd said, in the country from which he had come. That settled it. It was the same bird. He had seen it on the mountain where he sometimes had hunted for a stray sheep. He knew the big pine in the top of which it had its nest. He had noted it soar majestically and free about him as he worked in the valley and had seen it sit mo tionless for hours on the top of some tall, distant ranpike. Now and then he had had a suspicion that it had carried off an occasional lamb and had more than once tried to shoot the bird, but had never succeeded in getting near enough. The young farmer elbowed his way along the window to the door of the store. Then he went in. “What d’ye want for that bird?” he said. “I’d like to buy ’im.” “Two dollars,” was the reply. “Very well, I’ll take ’im.” He paid over the money, and the bird was handed out to him. The crowd at the window watched eagerly as the farmer came out with the big eagle under his arm and went straight across the street to where a ladder leaned against a bill board that was some 10 or 12 feet he was not sure which, but no dif ference—on the top of the billboard and came down. The great bird bad been a prison er so long that it seemed for a time to have forgotten how to be free. It sat for awhile as it had sat in the window, but gradually it came to it self. It lifted first one drooping wing and tucked it closely to its side, then the other. It raised itself slowly to its full height and stretched out its great head toward the sky. The dullness went out of the eyes and a fierce new light flashed in; then, nervously stretching out its huge pinions on either side and taking a step or two forward, it rose with a hoarse scream and swept out toward the sun. A burst of applause from the crowd met the farmer as he recross ed the street. “I had seen him on the moun tain,” he said, “an I couldn’t bear to see him there.” He pointed to the window, then in a moment he was gone.—The Whittier.

NUMBER 34. RATS ENDED THE STRIKE. A Combination Against Striking Miner* Which They Could Not Resist. “Not one of the biggest, but one of the most stubborn strikes that ever occurred in the Pennsylvania coal region,” said a former mining engineer, “was ended by rats. The rats that infest coal mines are of enormous size and as ravenous as they are big. The miners not only tolerate them, but stand in awe of them, for it is a firm belief with the coal miner that these rats can fore tell disaster and give warning to the miners of their danger by scurrying out of the threatened mine in droves in ample time to enable the miners to make their escape also. So care ful are the workmen of these great, hungry rats that it is not an uncom mon sight to see a miner feeding half a dozen or more from his din ner pail. They sometimes become so tame that they will climb on a miner’s lap as he sits at his under ground meal and crowd around him to receive such portions of his meal as he cares to toss to them. “These rats never leave the mines so long as work is going on. The food of the mine mules is kept in the mines, and on this the rats largely subsist. They swarm about when the mules are eating, and sometimes the mules have to fight the rats to save their meal. Often scores of dead rats will be found in a mule’s stall in the mines, where they have been trampled to death in efforts to secure a portion of the mule’s feed. When a mine lies idle any length of time and the mules are taken out, the rats abandon it and become a great pest in the min ing villages. “The strike I refer to was caused by the refusal of a mine boss to re instate a miner he had discharged. The men quit work. Ibe mine own ers declared they would let grass grow and choke the mouth of the slope before they would give in tu the men, and the men swore that they would cut the grass and eat it, if necessary, before they would yield their point. The mules were taken from the mine and turned out to pasture. The rats, being thus de prived of their sustenance, abandon ed the mine and took up their quar ters about the miners’ shanties, where they soon became a terror to the families. The strike continued, and the supplies of the men became exhausted. Miners at neighboring collieries who were at work respond ed to the requests of their striking brother's for aid and sent two wagon jpadw provisions and supplies of kinds. These a committee fti fi? 3 be distributed to the neediest of the miners. The very first night the supplies were in the building it was raided by a horde of rats, and ev erything was devoured or carried away. Four different loads of pro visions were contributed by the sym pathetic working miners, but it was impossible to save more than one third of them from the rats. Some of the miners kept cows at that time, there being plenty of free pas turage, but soon after the strike be gan the cows began to fall short in their yield of milk. This was a mys tery until one morning a miner dis covered half a dozen big rats suck ing the milk from his cow as she lay on the ground complacently chewing her cud. These combina tions against them at last forced the miners to weaken, and they were compelled by and by to resume wort on such terms as they could obtain,- absolutely beaten by the devouring horde of rats.”—New York Sun.
