Our Own People
Tell What

One of the strong points about Hoods
Sarsaparilla is that our own people know
of its curative merits in their own ex-
perience and remarkable cures have been
accomplished by Hoods Sarsaparilla right
here in our midst. Read the following:
CT have taken four bottles of Hoods
Sarsaparilla and it has given me new life.

came weak and completely broken down.
1 tried different tonics, but all of them
failed to give relief. Seeing Hoods Sar-
saparilla advertised and hearing of the
Great Cures Accomplished
by this medicine determined to try it,
and after using two bottles experienced
a change which was wonderful. began
to enjoy life and became strong and re-
gained my appetite. Today am as well
and healthy as any person in this vicinity
and can cheerfully say that Hood IS Sarsa-
parilla is the best medicine for building
up the constitution that I know of and
recommend it to the public" CHARLES

BE is only little while back since a
good deal of kicking was done both
olerieally and politically over the pro-
position to compel children in this state
to learn the English language. They
do things better in Japan. In the high
schools of that country not only is the
study of their native language compul-
sorry, but the study of English as we'll.
The Japs are rapidly forging to the
front and propose to stay there by be-
ing familiar with the language that is
used by thousands more every year.

JUDGE TULEY, Of Chicago, holds it
TO be undisputed law that time con-
tracts for the future delivery of grain
and any other commodity are valid in
Illinois, both by statute and common
Law. In the case upon which he gave
this decision there was no delivery OF
she goods, and it being clear the trans
action was merely matter of specu-
Iation on the rise and fall of prices, he
held that the contract was therefore il
legal and void, and the money con-
tra3ted to be paid, and which was not
paid, could not be recovered because
the transaction was of a gambling
character.

THE VOICE.
Few of the Opinions of Waldstern
Pegg, Musical Doctor.

a Few of the Opinions of WaldStern
Pegg, Musical Doctor.
DR.. Pegg, who was once an associate
of Able List, entertains the opinion
that the voices of singers may be af
fected by their diet In those parts of
Europe where fish is the chief article Of
food, there are few fine vocalists, and
the voice in ordinary speech there is apt
to lack delicacy of timbre and also dig
nifty. DR.. Pegg has come to the con-
clusion that the food most desirable for
singers is of gramnivorous kind, yet
they may properly include moderate
quantity of meat in their daily repast.
He discards the idea that malt liquors
give strength to the voice, though they
may stimulate it's action for brief
time. They had better be avoided by
those singers who desire to keep their
tones fresh and rich.
The smoking habit is not necessarily
injurious to the voice, if the indul-
gence in it be well restrained and tenn
perate. DR.. Pegg has no patience with
those French composers protesting to
be symbolists who would mingle with
music the potent spirit of perfume"
The ancient Romans believed that in
perfume there was a subtle power to
create emotion, but it ought not to be
used in combination with music to in
tensify an artistic impression. The
music alone should be all-powerful.

LIVE IN SNOW HOUSES.
Winter Dwellings of Adventuresome
Miners on the Yukon River

Winter Dwellings of Adventuresome
Miners on the Yukon River.
Many adventurous prospectors have
been making their way in the last year
toward the Yukon River valley, in
Alaska, and they have had to live very
much after the fashion of the natives.
Caribou and moose abound, though it's
not much sport hunting them when
the thermometer registers so degrees
below zero. The natives construct
snow huts in about the time that would
be required to pitch wall tent They
select place where the snow is about
four feet deep. A space By feet is
marked out Blocks two feet square
are cut from the surface snow and set
On edge around the excavation for side
walls. At one end three feet of space
is dug down to the ground; in the bal
ance about two feet of snow is left for
4 couch. The sides and ends are built
up tight and the whole is rooted with
broad slabs of crusted snow cut in
proper dimensions to form a fat gable
roof, and loose snow is thrown over all
to chink in At the end, which is dug
down to the ground, hole is cut Just
large enough to admit man crawling
on his hands and knees. The hut is
now finished and sleeping bags and
provisions are packed inside. The
arms and ammunition are generally
left outside. After the outside work is
finished everybody crawls into the hut
and the opening is stopped up from the
inside with a plug of snow that has
been fitted carefully, and no one is ex-
pected to go out until it is time to break
camp. The combined heat from the
bodies of the inmates, together with the
lamp they use, soon raises the tempera-
ture, and degree Of comfort is obtain
ed, no matter how cold it may be on the
outside. The Alaska Mining Record
says that similar degree of warmth is
obtained by no other manner of camp
ing in that region. Snow tents that
are occupied for a month or more are
more elaborate, and are usually built
when the snow is six or eight feet
deep, as the roof can be made higher
and the hut entered by covered way
and through an ante-room in which the
dogs sleep and the sleds and other ar
ticles are stored.

NAPPY LEON ON HIS CHARGER.
young Nappy Leon must leave the
paternal roost and seek his fortune in
the great world. He had grown to the

too early upon the gridiron with garlic
and turnips, after the Corsican fashion.
His father had determined to send him

GREATER THAN MIS-. ISSIPPI.
Canadian Biologists Tell of Enormous
Pre-gIaciAl River.

Canadian Biologists Tell of an Enormous
Pre-gIaciAl River.
The largest river of any age of which
there is any evidence in the world, &C
cording to a remarkable geological dis
covery reported to the Royal Society of
Canada at it's late meeting at Ottawa,
was a great pre-glacial river in north
ern Canada. DR.. Robert Bell, who pro-
duced scientific evidence Of the correct
ness Of his discovery, pointed out that
it was generally admitted by biologists
that the continent of North America
Immediately before the glacial period
stood at a much higher elevation than
at the present time, amounting to, per-
hapS, between two and three thousand
feet. The inevitable result of this must
have been to change the river systems
from what they now are, and to create
in the north a gigantic river draining
an area of over one-third of the entire
continent Of North America, and form
ing a drainage basin seven times as
large as that of the ST. Lawrence. The
central portion Of the great river was
in the middle Of what is now Hudson
Bay, as proved by the existing depres-
sions Of land in the north Of Canada
and the great depth Of the centre Of
Hudson Bay. It's lower part dis
charged through what is now Hudson
Straits into Davis Straits. 1t is also
maintained that the upper half Of the
ST. Lawrence basin, both in pre-glacial
times and also at later geological pc
Rod, discharged its waters northward
by way of what is now Hudson Bay.
It is asserted that this constituted one
of the main branches of this great
northern river. Other large branches
were the saskatchewan the Nelson
river, which rises west of the Rocky
Mountains, the Churchill largely aug
mented by the reversal of some of the
upper rivers Of the Mackenzie basin,
and great tributary streams that came
down the present Churchill inlet, Fox
Channel, and Ungava Bay, any one Of
which must have fully equaled in size
the Mississippi Of our own day.
