ALASKAN HUSBANDS.
How the Women Tame and Train
Them.

How the Women Tame and Train
Them.
Unlike many other Indian squaws,
the women of Alaska are not slaves.
but possess good deal of authority.
They are great traders, carry the purse,
and manage family affairs generally.
If the husband makes bad bargain in
trading, his wife ridicules him.
They have a way, too, of
bringing their husbands to time
which is very effective. They do not
fling fiat irons and rolling pins, or give
curtain lectures; but retire TO corner,
neglect their household duties and
sulk, refusing to say word. A few
days of this treatment will probably
bring the husband around. They have
also all odd way of quarrellng. They
do not pull hair or resort to fisticuffs,
but after giving each other a severe
tongue lashing they retire to their
homes.
Alaskans are divided up into families,
such as the Bear, Eagle and Deer fami-
lies. These families take cognizance of
quarrels. and feuds result. After the
quarrel Mrs. Bear will retire to her
house, tear up her clothing and two or
three blankets, and then send word to
Mrs. Eagle, her enemy. 1t thereupon

small rooms.

Atno time in the history of New York CITY
have there been so many deaths from pneu-
monia as now. The official figures show that
nearly twice as many deaths from this cause
are occurring than for the last five years,
This is something terrible.
Dr. John T. Nagle. Registrar of Vital Sta
tistics says that this increase is due to the In
fiuence Of grip. He says that grip nav be
called epidemic just now, and that in the
majority of cases grip is vital. contributing
cause to pneumonia and all dangerous pull
monary troubles. At this time of the year
spring, there is always low order of vital.
ity: reaction from the strains of the season.
The blood does not flow so full nor rapidly;
the strength is less. For this reason grip has
much better chance than at any other sea-
son.
This is q time of year when people need to
be careful. and too much importance cannot
be placed upon keeping the blood warm and
in circulation You must bring about re-
action if YOU wish to avoid the pain and dan
gers of these troubles in time. There is but
one way by which a reaction can be brought
about and that is by the use of a pure stimu-
liant, preferably whiskey But the great diff
Guilty is that there are few whiskeys which
are pure. The only really pure and reliable
whIskey known to the medical profession or
the world is Dufiy's Pure Malt. 1t possesses
Qualities known only to itself. 1t will bring
about a reaction and prevent cold pneu-
monia or the grip where many so-called slim
ulants would fail 1t has saved more lives
and relieved more suffering than anything
of similar nature which was ever known
before to the world.

Have plenty of towels. Comfort and
cleanliness depend upon it. You can
better 90 without some of your house
hold decorations than to get along"
with scant supply of towels.
Have them OF good size. They are
more satisfactory and wear longer than
the curtailed sort. Shall the towel be
fringed? That is a matter of taste.
Some one said the other day that plain
hens with two or more rows of hem
stitching above the hem would soon

Shall our towels be damask or buck

Housekeepers know the advantage of
roller and long piece of crash in
places where frequent washing of the
hands is done. There should be one in
the kitchen and another in the bath
room. If the children have a wash
closet off their play room provide that
with roller and "a round" of crash.
You may then feel sure that the linen
in use in that room isn't hung up on the
floor.
The preferable time to buy towels is
in the winter, when most of the stores

A Definition Of Home.

''Home." says Robertson, in his SER
mons, sis the one place in all this world
where hearts are sure of each other. 1t
is the place of confidence. 1t is the
place where we tear off that mask Of
guarded and suspicious GOODNESS which
the world forces us to wear in self-de-
Tense, where we pour out the unreserved
communication of full and confiding
hearts. 1t is the spot where expressions
of tenderness gush out without any sem
sation of awkwardness and without any
dread of ridicule. Let a man travel
where he will, home is the place to
which his heart untrammeled fondly
turns He is to double all pleasure
there. He is to divide all pain. A
happy home is the single spot OF rest
which a man has upon this earth for the
cultivation of his noblest sensibilities."

A PRETTY INCIDENT
In the Style of the Helping Hand
Visiting Club.

In the Style of the Helping Hand
Visiting Club.
A new club has been started in the
East called the Helping Hand Visiting
club. The business of this club is to
render, if possible, in some way for
women who have to earn their own liv-
ing at some work that keeps them busy
all the time to have little outing dur
ing the,summer if they live in town, or
during the winter, if they happen to
live in the country. This is accom-
phshed by sort of change OF work,
very much as preachers exchange
pulpitS, and thus secure a rest both for
= themselves and their congregations.
This club proposes to send a woman
who stays in store and could not afford
the loss Of time that regular visit out
of town would involve to some pleasant
home in the country, or to small town
where She can help the house mistress
part Of the time, and so pay her way
The thing is to bring supply and de
mand together IN this world, and that
this club promises TO do.
But prettier incident that is only a
reward of merit came to the ears of this
department one day last week. A
