A MEDiP,tNE MAN SUPPRESSED.
The Awning Story pf a rowder Explo-
sion lu .an Eskimo Village.
There was another episode a hich these pe-
culiar people seemed to consider as a huge
joke, which 1 will explain as briefly as possi-
ble, to show what the native people consider
as funny in the frigid zones. One of the
Eskimo men had a painfully disfigured face,
to which he pointed so often that one of the
party was flually led to ask him the cause.
He moot cheerfully assented to explain, amid
the grins and suppressed laughter of the
others. When he was a young boy he was
one of a small band of natives that came
upon the remains of Sir John Franklin's un-
fortunate parties•that had starved to death,
and they 'found many curious things among
the scattered material at the bite of the sad
scene.
One, which immediately took his boyish
eye, was a red flattened• can that he found,
full of '+black Hind," as ke expressed it. The
"b14ek sand" was of no possible use to him,
and on the first occasion he had to utilize the
can, whiuh was one winker evening when he
was sitting by the lamp to tris snow. holtae. bo
poured tbis useless material..out_on the plat-
fol -In of snow that held the lamp, and in do-
ing so some of it splashed in the flame. There
was an lusta-ttneous explosion, which be
tried to explain by yelling "boom!'' until I
110 thought the top of my head had been knocked
'lo , of, and w'hep some of the shock had passed
He away he found that the tor) of his snow hut
ter had disappeared in the dark night, the stone
lamp was broken into pieces, and the kitchen
Can utensils and parlor furniture all mixed up.
ny He was a medicine man of the tribe—that
,)d is, one supposed to cure -sickness by magic,
incantations, etc,—and at the time the pow-
der can exploded a patient was visiting him,
d- who disappeared in the confusion, and his
ed whereabouts was not known for a month or
two.afterward, when lee turned up inanotber
g4 irilio fal•thgr• south, whose doctors, he
nu claimed, were not of such a pyrotechnic
school of medicine.
'1' he medicine man said that. his own nerv-
ous systenk was badly shattered for a long
time, and his hands and face were fearfully
scarred as evidence of his story, but if bis
appetite was at all injured he had more than
recovered, for he was the most enormous
eater, savage or civilized, that 1 'ver saw in
my life, and could easily 'lidpose of a rein-
deer ham at a lunch whenever he came
around to repeat his scary, which was alto-
gether too frequent; but we luckily found a
good plan of ridding ourselves of him by the
apparent careless handling of a powder can.

whole is lighted by thirteen silver lamps.

Turks, and scarcely had the steel touc+hod
the pichire when the blood flowed, This is

ARTICLES OF•CCRIOC4 nESTOS,
Icons are scarce in this city, and probably
half a dozen could not be•found in the shops.
Inquiries at one commercial house brought
forth two that had been carefully laid away,
wrapped in paper, These Were of engraved
. s11 er, about tjyx inches by ten in size, full
lengths of male saints, the faces and hands
being beautifully painted. The paintings,
which are complete under the silver, were
done on wood, the backs of which were'cov-
ered with purple velvet.

with n linen cloth, which is in this case
represented by the whitish silver. Another
pitcher, also of silver gilded, has a, very
beautiful interlaced design, which is a favor-
ite with the Russians.
•A peculiarity of the Russians is the impor-
tance they attach to bread and salt, these
two articles playing prominent parts at wed-
dings and on all ceremonious occasions. Per
this reason they pay much attention to salt
cellars, and some of the designs are quite
unique. A favorite design. is chair shaped
so to speak, the seat containing the salt, and
having a lid on which is in Russian,"Without
salt, without bread, only half a meal," and
what may be called the back of the chair
being riehly.,ornamented, sometimes having
the Russian coat of arms at the top. Such a
one had a design in colored mantels, the
work being in the Byzantine style. Another
salt cellar, which might bo used as a drink-
ing cup, was a silver and gilt cock about
eight inches high. This bird is extremely
popular in Russia, and enters largely into
Russian decorations, sometimes the comb
beak or talons being used if there is no roan
