On his way to one OF the stations at
Buda-Pesth French gentleman recently
went into hatter's shop and bought and
put on a hat which had attracted him by
its somewhat unusual color and shape.
When he had been walking up and down
the station some few minutes, he WAS aston
ished to find in one of his overcoat pocke cts
purse full Of money and in the other a
gold watch. He went at once to the station
master and found him listening to the COM
plants of a couutryman who had Just lost
his purse.
The purse was the one which the French
man was returning, but when il had been
lost II had contained only 10 shillings.
Now 1t held nearly AS many pounds. The
mystery was soon explained. A policeman
came to the station master to report the ar
rest Of a pickpocket He was Immediately
brought in and confessed the theft of the
purse, into which he had put the proceeds
of previous robberies and of the watch.
He had passed" them into the French
mans pockets because of his hat. He ex-
plained that hats of that peculiar pattern,
which are made only by one firm, are the
badge of a large International gang Of pick
pockets, and so he had taken the French
man for confederate.
The halter bore out the statement, say
ing that he had recently sent large con
signment of hats of that kind abroad, TO 4
place which the pickpocket named. But
he was able To prove that he had no com

THE ALASKAN INDIANS.
Their Peculiar Belief About Reincarn
tion and Future Existence.

Their Peculiar Belief About Reincarna-
tion and Future Existence.
The Alaska Indians believe In reincar
nation, the person at each succeeding birth
being Of the same sex and retaining the
same peculiar physical characteristics. 1t
is affirmed that Harsha, great chief Of the
Wrangels who died some 200 years ago and
et whose death 20 slaves We're sacrificed,
has since been reincarnated five times, and
at each birth he has been recognized by the
mark of "A stab or a cut in the right groin.
At one time, during one of these later in
carnations, while yet lad, in order to
prove his memory of previous existence,
he took friends to cave and found for
them certain articles of clothing hidden
there and which had belonged to Harsha.
These he identified and separated from the
clothing belonging to others.
Sakunda has been reincarnated three
times and recognized by peculiar lock OF
gray hair. The AUX chief, Ko-wee, always
claimed that he had lived once before OF
this earth. A legend is told Of Chilca'
Indian who was shot, and his body lay al
day upon the ground, and at night his spirit
returned, took possession Of it and contn
ued its earth life for several years. He sait
that he did not feel freed from the earth
though he assembled upon the ladder to th,
high heaven, but all the time there was
longing to return, and b. looked dow
through the opening and saw far beneatl
him the earth, with its tall trees like 81
many needles sticking up. He was afrait
to jump, but the longing to return was Sc
intense that he summoned all his courag,
and leaped to the EARTH when he landed OF
a bed of soft moss near where his body wa,
lying. He crept back into it and awok,
again to earth life
Almost countless are the tales the In
dans will tell you of the life beyond, o.
the messages which have come back t,
them, Of the visits they have made there il
dreams, and though often their stories ar,
contradictory in details yet through then
all there is firm belief in future eXistenc,
into which they pass with all life's expert
ence, an immortal life whose joys and sor
rows are the result Of the remembrance o
forgetfulness of friends.-Juneau ALASKA

Petroleum is now much used for cooking
and heating purposes. There are cheap oils
which are dear at any price The principal
danger lies in the impurity of the OIL and
cheap oils are never pure. Dr. Hagaman
has been lecturing in Philadelphia on the
subject Of safe and unsafe oils and assures
us that in order to be safe an oil should
have fash test Of at least l3O degrees. 1t
Is well that householders should know how
10 ascertain what the flash test of any given
oil Is before using it. The method is sim
plicity itself Take any small vessel or pan
that can stand heat and half fill 1t with fine
sand. On this pour some of the oil to be
tested and place in the mixtures u thermom-
eter Now put it ON the kitchen range so
that the heat may gradually rise and watch
the thermometer. Hold at the same time a
very thin lighted taper over it, When the
thermometer has risen sufficiently, the va,
por will ignite. The temperature is the
fash point. BY the way, servants ought to
be warned against the practice of filing q
lamp quite full.-Pittsburg Dispatch.

How to Measure Land.

In calculating areas, the dimen- sions are taken by means of Gunter's Chain, which is 4 poles or p yards in length. 1.-the field be square or paralIelogram, multi ply the length in rods by the width in rods and divide by 160, the number of square rods in an acre. If the field is triangular, multiply the length of the longest side in rods by the greatest width in rods, and divide half the product by 16O, If the field be of irregular shape, divide it into triangles and find the acreage of each. All streight-sided fields can be thus measured.
 Where the sides are crooked and irregular take the length in rods ia 9 number of places at equal dis tances apart, add them, and divide by the number of measurements, which will give them the mean length; proceed similarly with the width, multiply the mean length by the mean width, and divide it by 160. Where the field is in a circle, find the diameter in rods, multiply the square of the diame- ter by 1854, and divide by 16O.
 A rod is 165 feet or 5 yards. A mile is 32O rods. A mile is 1,760 yards. A mile is 5,280 feet. A square foot is IA square inches A square yard contains 9 square feet. A square rod is 2724 square feet. An acre contains 43, ,560 square feet; 4,840 square yards. 160 square rods.

How to See Cataract in Your
 Own Eye.

The following simple method
 enables a patient to see a cataract Tn hls own eye and note it's growth and development, probably better
 than any oculist can observe it for him. Cataract is said to be due to the gradual deposition of oxalate lime in the substance of the crys-. talline lens, at first in small spots or streaks, sometimes in one part and sometimes in another. The deposit gradually increases untilit penetrates the whole of the lens, causing blindness. The remedy, i then, is to remove the lens, and after it's removal the patient needs a substitute in the form of highly magnifying spectacles.
 All that is necessary to enable a patient to see his own cataract for himself is piece of card and needle-a visiting card will do very we'll. Pierce a clean round hole near the middle of the card and hold the card up to the light close to the eye, looking preferably in the direction of piece of blue sky. With the card near to the eye, the patient will not see the small hole pierced by the needle, but he will see a comparatively large faintly illuminated field with his cataract projected upon it. He is, in fact. observing the shadow cast by his cataract on the retina at the back, of his eye. With a small puncture in the card the shadow so thrown is comparatively sharp. But with a normal eve an evenly illuminat- ed field or clean disk will be seen. The patient may thus map down his own cataract, and settle for himself whether 1t is extending and whether he will have an operation or not None of the ocuists 1 have seen have known of the method, and there may, con- sequently, be some advantage in making it public.--J.

Brides Of Monterey.

What @ bower of brides Monte
 rey has become. It seems to be
 the correct thing, these times, for
 the happy pair to speed to the Del
 Monte, and there dream their dream of love. If the sighs of the turtle doves who have roamed in the maze, and kissed and embraced
 n the corridors, might be combin- ed, what an amorous diapason it would make. By the Torch of Hymen, it makes one sentimental to consider it. Imagine the long line of blushing virgins who have entered this temple, and who have left, demure wives, with the silver of the honeymoon still tinting their orange blossoms. What a smacking and buzzing, what and teasing, what dear delights, what foundations of hum anity have been laid within those walls. An ingenious youth, once hearing his parents discuss their wedding tour, inquired where he was at that period. "Ah my boy" replied the father, 'I took you down and your mamma brought you back."-Ex.

''StOP Iay Paper"

Every man has right to take a paper or to stop it, for any reason or for no reason at all. But at the same time there is. g certain re- sponsibility attaching to all ac- tions, even to so trivial a one as stopping a paper because the editor says something one doesn't agree with. There is complaint that newspaper editors lack fearlessness and honesty; that newspapers are too generally mere partisan organs that disregard the claims of truth and justice when political interests are at stake. There is too much truth in the charge; but let us ask how 1t is possible for a fearless, honest, outspoken journal to live if every man Is to cry "Stop my paper" whenever he req Is sole- thing that does not accorl Y;th his views? The men who h, ist that the paper they read s:ill never say anything contrary to their views are the ones who are in large measure responsible for the craven cowardliness and the wealth ercock propensities of modern journalism. Tn . community com- posed entirely of these "Stop my paper" people true independent journalism would be an impossi- bility. When you are convinced that a paper is dishonest and de- ceitful, stop it. When convinced that it is unclean, stop it. When it lacks enterprise and fails to give you the news, stop it.. When some other paper gives you more of value, stop it. But don't stop paper that you believe to be honest, courageous, enterprising and clean, simply because it's eli tor has written his own sincere views instead of yours or somebody else's; tor if you do, you are put ting premium on insincere journ- alism and serving notice on an editor that the way to succeed IS to write what he thinks will best please his readers instead of what he. honestly believes to be the truth.-Ex.
