Water Funeral in Norway. mm- _ r ni.uS.GnMonnil I

One ot the chief men of I md died, and was about to be bun<*L lis bodv was to be conveyed across the valors of the bay to the church, where the funeral ceremony would take place. The day was intensely fiot; the smi poured down his rays from a cloudless sky ; not a breath of air stirred m this landlocked, hill-sheltered bay. All na- I tare seemed to rejoice in Bunshine and prosperity. The houses on the elopes, one above another, looked white and tranquil. Nothing could be le^ in harmony with the ceremony about to take

place. In the distance, on the oppo- c site side of the bay, a crowd of prople i could be discerned, quiet » motionlMS. | A landing-stage was decked with green I boughs and garlands, terminating at the water's edge in an arch of green leaves, i At the foot of the landing-stage some eight or ten boats were waiting. Suddenly there was a Slight stir in the crowd. The coffin was being borne on men's shoulders down to its appointed boat. A few minutes more and the cortege set out. The first boat con tained the musicians and anytliing more sad, solemn, and mournful than the dirge they played could not be imagined. It was distressing In wailing gloom and misery. A certain occasional discord mingled with the har- ■ mony, tlic very enioodimcnt of despair and heartbroken sorrow. Immediately following tho musicians was a boat 1 richly decorated with garlands of leaves , and flowers in the form of a canopy, that might rather have decked a bride ! t an the dead. Below tins gorgeous ! and beautiful canopy, covered by no , pall, cumbered by no trappings reposed r the coffin. The boat had all the apn pearancc of a triumphal barge. The 1 sight was one of the strangest, most in1 tcroattng, most impressive I had ever 1 8ecn — perhaps partly from its very k novelty— this quaint mode of burying tho dead. For a quarter of an hour we e watclied the procession in its slow, c stalely, nnd solemn march. Tlie oars y were muffled, and not a sounrt mnrked its progress save the wail of the music, which never ceased in melanoho.y .trains. Every time tho discord came it jarred the feclingH and shot a shiver the Irainc tiiat no self-control

The proceseion passed onward until it entered a narrow «vnal iwtween tiio islands, and was lost to ' view.

Thefburning vessel wMctoMto shore, the water was calm and warm, ftsf r.° s~St board would easily keep the head above water* while the two feet and the other hand might be used as Paddlw to propel toward the shore. It is not at aU n«*» sary to knoW to swim to be able to keep from drowning in this way. A fitti I eiDcrience of the buoyant power of matter, and faith in it, is quired. We have seen a Bmall boy who could not swim a stroke propel himself himself back and forth across a deep, wide pond, by means of a board tow 1 would not sustain five pounds weight. I In fact, that sometime small boy ib uow writing this. Cbildrai and all oth«s should have practice in the OT^tolnlnjt Dower of water. In nine cases out of ten, the knowledge that what will sustain a pound weight is all sarv to keep one's head above water, will serve better in emergencies than the greatest expertness as a swimmer. A. pereon unfamiUar with the buoyant twu of water will naturally try to climb on top Of toe flo^mg obj ect on which he tries to save himself. If it is large enough, that is all right. But it m generally not large enough, and half of I struggling group is often drowned in the desperate scramble of a life-and death struggle to climb on top of a piece ' of wreck or other floating object, not large enough to keep them all entirely - above water. This often happenswhen : pleasure boats capsize. All immedi- • atelv want to get out of the water on , top of the overturned or half-filled boat, and all are drowned except those whom i the wrecked craft will wholly bear up. Tr 4iv«w uroii id Rimtjlv trust the wator tn

weight of their bodies, and the disabled 3 boat the other hundredth, tbey mi^t all be saved under most circumstances. > An overturned or water-filled wooden r boat will sustain more people in this 5 way than it will carry. » would keep p the heads above water of as many peo pie as could get their hands on the ggn- ? wale. These are simple facts, easily learned, and may some day save your . life.

Till she began to be familiarized with he strange incidents of night bivouac under canvas in the wilderness, she was always ready to mount guard over her husband and their property at a moment's notice. In reality, the chance ol an onslaught by robbers, which was j probable enough in much of try they traveled through, must have been sufficiently trying to the nwjes ot ladv. But her husband found that qer companionship was actually- of service to him. And, considering the contemptuous manner in which the Moors treat their own 4 'womankind , the courtesy with which they .behaved to .Mrs. Colville was remarkable.

Even toe long Kentucky rifle is Left ; hanging in the rack in the cabin. Our outfit consists of a stout hickca-y club and a butcher knife, the latter tightly belted around toe waist in a leather scabbard. These are toe only sporting tools used for hunting wild togs in. these hills, and they are very effective, as we shall presently see-

Some sevai or eight of us, with as many stout dogs, set out that morning, and after a tramp of three miles or more j we begin to discover signs of game. W e now halt and hold a council of warOur old bushw&cker, Jack Newland, is chosen captain of the party, and the plans of toe hunt chalked out by him. " You see, boys," said Captain J ack, " here is the range of a drove, and you acc by the aic&R and freak Una, as well as toe tracks m the snow, that there is about twenty hogs in the drove, big and little. Moet on *em is big fellows, and 1 will give a hard fight. Now, Jim and Ned, take two of the dogs ana go round that pint of bill over thar. Sani, you and Bob just kinder crawl around over that ar' nob, and lay low. The rest on i us will follow cm the track. When I see the hogs PI! holler like an owl. Then you answer, hooT hoo ! hoot same as me, case I see the hogs rootinL Then pitch in and head 'em off till the dogs oome up." . The snow gave us a good chance to . see the hogs a good away off, and we > had" not proceeded far before we sighted . them a few hundred yards away, busily . turning up the leaves in search of food, a Here we halted behind trees, and Capv turn Jack gave the call in imitation ot the big-horned owl, which was an- | Tf Ltm~> *uv "C ;

in on a run to surprise the game, and soon toe dogs had brought the bogs to bay. The rest of the hunters now arrived wito all the dogs, and the fight commenced, each one urging his dog to seize a hog by the ear, and, watching his chance, would jump astride of him. and holding on with one hand, would put his deadly blows over the bead wito his dub, and as soon as down, out wito bis butcher knife and plunge it up to toe hilt in the hog's throat— then off for another. The chase and slaughter are thus kept up for a mile or more, or until the uogs and men are tired out or all I the hogs killed, when we retrace our steps and make arrangements for gatoing up our game. We have seen a stout hog bound off through the woods with his rider while the dog was last to his ear, and eyry both a considerable distance before being killed. The sport is ludicrous in the extreme, as well as being atxandnd I with considerable danger; and unless one is familiar with It he is pretty apt to get severely hurt by toe side wipes of Gie bog's long tusks. When we en£»««i this drove Uie figbt was exciting and furious. As for ourselves, though not a coward, we must confess that we often preferred to take refuge up a sapling and watch the fight than to participate us it. The day was far advanced when the j sport ended. We all assembled and ^ built a large fire, and proceeded to drag J the slaughtered hogs into camp, which 7 proved a very laborious job. When all the killed had been brought in we counted eleven large fat porkers. It was now near dark, and we concluded ' to camp there for the night, returning . to where we had left our provisions ui . the morning. On first discovering the s came and bringing it into camp we " hung up the hogs to have them ready I lor transportation. We cut out tenderloins sndbroiled them on the llreeoah.

and enjoyed a hearty supper and breaklast. During the night we were awakened by a pack cd wolves which had assembled on a neighboring hiu to give us a grand serenade. W e could not see tbein. but shouWjudge, ^m the great noise they made, there were titty at least, and had we not eight ortrii JSufdogs and a large fire they WouM^ noubllcss have made on attempt to cap* lure and carry off our game.
