One night the son Of Colonel Dodge,
while sleeping in camp upon the ground
next to his father, and lying on his stomach,
was awakened by disagreeanle cold ire
NOR running through him. He called to his
father and said: "Father, there is some
thing the matter with me. Think have got
chill. I have cold sensation in the small
ofmy back, very strange, unlike any thing l
ever felt before, and am frightened" To
this, the father, suspecting the truth, re-
piled: "Lie perfectly STILL" then jumped
from his own place of repose. stood few
feet away from the boy with his pistol in
his hand, and said to him: when count
three, want you to jumpp' The boy re-
piled: "All right" The Colonel then
counted three, and Frederick jumped to his
feet, dislodging from his back an enormous
rattlesnake which had coiled there for
warmth, and the Colonel shot the serpent
before he could strike the boy.

Though we have said goodbye,

The Thrilling Adventures Of the Slocum
Family.
On Thursday. December q, there was
great excitement when the tiny three
masted vessel, La Lberdad, anchored at
the wharf in Washington after voyage OF
seven thousand miles, the most astonishing
cruise reported at the capital since the Sa-
vannah came steamiug up the river in 1919.
La Liberdad is dainty little craft, thir-
ty-fve feet long, seven and one-half feet
broad and three feet deep. Her crew con-

Ladies' StudYiDg Law.

There are five ladies enrolled in the Law
Department of Michigan University this
year. One is young girl from the Sand
witch Islands, the granddaughter of an
honored missionary of the Congregational
Church. Her father, who is prominent
lawyer on the islands, has fostered her
natural bent toward legal study in prac-
teal way, introducing her into the details
of his work at an early age. She intends
to practice at her home. The other ladies
are married and are the classmates of their
husbands, with whom they will practice

AN eIMucK CAMP.

A Queer Tribe Living In the Vicinity OF
the Afghan Border.
Near the Afghan boundary Mr.. Stevens
reaches an Elm uck camp. The tents are
Of brownish- black goat hair, similar In ma
terial TO the tents Of Koords and Eliautes;
In size and structure they are larger and
finer than those Of the Eliautes, but in
ferior TO the splendid tent palaces Of Koor-
distan. A couple OF hundred yards from
the tents Is small spring Of water in
closed within a rude wall OF loosely-piled
stones; the water is allowed to trickle
through this wall and accumulate in basin
outside. Here, as we ride up, are several
women filing goatskin vessels 10 carry TO
the tent The chief and all his men are
arrayed In garments OF coarse white cotton
stuff throughout, loose pantaloons bound at
the ankles and an overgarment Of pattern
very much like q nlght-shirt On their
heads are the regulation Afghan turban,
with long, dangling ends, and their feet are
encased in rude moccasins with upturned
toes.n Refreshing bowls Of doke are
served, and then Mr.. Stevens rides up aud
down before the tents to smuse the women
and children. The ground between the two
rows Of tents resembled macadam boule
ward for width and smoothness, and so the
wild Elmuck tribes-people received ten
minutes exhibition OF the whirling, speed
ing and riding with hands on handles Of q
now-world bicyclist. Some Of the women
were attired In fanciful colors; Turkish
pantaloons Of bright blue and equally bright
red render them highly picturesque, and
they wear q profusion Of bead necklaces
and the multfarious gewgaws Of semi.
civilization. The younger girls wear nose
rings Of silver In the left nostril, with q
cluster OF tiny beads or stones decorating
the side Of the nose. The wrists Of most Of
the men are adorned with bracelets Of
plain copper wire about the size Of ordinary
telegraph wire; they average large rcl
well proportioned, and seem intellectually
superior TO the Eliautes. A striking pecu-
lIarity OF the people In this camp is q sort Of
lisping, kissing accent 70 their speech.
When first addressed by the chief, fancied
II simply an individual case Of hsping; but
every person In the camp does likewise.
Another popularity Of expression that,
while not peculiar 10 this particular camp,
Is made striking by reason Of It's novelty TO
me at this time Is the use Of the expression

4 NEW SYSTEM OF ECONOMICS.


sity OF Pennsylvania, has invented
new system Of political economy. It
is neither sentimental, experimental
nor mental; but as it introduces nov
el theory concerning mans food and
drink, it may perhaps be called "ali-
mental, " or even Sentimental. 1t is that,
according to the course Of natural Sc
lection, and the survival of the fittest,
the man whose food or drink contains
least dirt will survive. By dirt we do
not mean the quantity of unmanu-
factured and unmodified dirt that
finds its way into his soup or cham
payne, but the area of land which is
swept over to produce the food and
drink he consumes. Says the profess
sor:
When we eat, drink or clothe our
selves, We make a demand for land
through its products. In the progress of
civilization our demands must be salts
fed with smaller and still smaller spaces
of land. As we progress We are obliged
to adjust ourselves so that in our eating,
drinking and clothing we make less de-
mand upon land. The man then who
limits his demands to a small amount Of
land is he who will survive. The man of
to-day who drinks demands twice the
amount of land the abstainer requires,
all other things being equal. The per-
son, then, who drinks is one who creates
larger demand for land than he
who is free from the drinking habit. II
you observe, you will learn that the ab-
stainer from intoxicants, for pleasure in
his diet uses sugar chiefly, one of the
cheapest and most abundant of edibles.
These facts are subject to slight va
riations. Thus in Great Britain it is
the man who drinks that uses most
sugar, for he averages three Jumps to
todd and thus brings up the national
consumption of sugar to above 60
pounds per capita per annum, while
the Americans who take their whisky
straight hardly exceed so pounds.
As q partridge cannot thrive well on
less than 30 acres Of land, and as good
beef can be fatted on the product OF
one acre, it is clear that beeves will &c
further than partridges and that rela.
lively the beef eaters will survive.
This is aside from the fact that those
beef eaters who survive the best al
ways reeur TO partridge when they
wish to be made most conscious of
their survival and to advertise the
fact that they are among the fittest,
if not the very fittest, TO survive.
But if those who eat partridge will
be thinned out rapidly because of the
great area Of land the partridge must
fly over to get his living, how tri-
umphant becomes the professors the
ory when it is applied to those that
''eat crow"
The professors problem might be
put in the Rule of Three, thus:
As "a acres of quail are to 4 roods of
barley, SO are IL gin cocktails per day to
a space of feet by inclosed in mahog-
any; or
| 24:4 :l2:2.
The mathematics of this PROPOSE
ton are unimpeachable, and could be
brought out even more clearly by the
application of some of professor
Jevon's algebraic formula. II there is
any one point In science we enjoy, it
is that of seeing professor Patten thus
usefully engaged in reducing the
principles of economics TO an alimen-
