UNCLE SANS CHILDREN.

Did you ever stop to think. you young
folks who read THE CALL and are proud OF
the gay flag that waves over you-or is by
poetic license supposed todd you ever
stop to think what a curious lot OF nephews
and nieces your beloved Uncle Sam is
blessed with?
The children of Germany are Germans,
and that's just all there is about it. French
men are Frenchmen, and Cinnamon
always happen to be Chinese. But the
children of these United States!
They are of all kinds and colors, and
some of them really seem to belong, by
good rights, to ages that are gone and hall
forgotten. Why, right here in our own
California there are people-but that is an
other part of the story.
To begin in the right place, there are
those nephews and nieces away up ID
Alaska.
They happen to be free-born American
citizens just as much as you and l are-oI
perhaps more, because their ancestors
must have come over from somewhere ever
so long before the Mayhower SCI sail, or
even the excellent Mr.. Columbus had
thought of coming over here to bring the
news from Europe.

with a scornful sort of accent, if you can.
Nevertheless, they are very amia BILE and
very hospitable people, as all their visitors
who have not been cruel or selfish will tell
YOU One gentleman, who went as a mis-
sionary to some parts of that cold north
ern country that he had to reach by a
Journey on foot that was so difficult and so
dangerous that he was barely alive when
ha hod to1H hoo fllS or
ries of the gentle treatment he received at
the hands of Esquimaux, who had hardly
seen white man before in their lives.
The homes of these people were holes in
the ground, but followed out till they
were quite spacious and with little open
ings for the smoke from their fires TO
escape. To enter them one had to 60
down into hole and then along an under
ground passage TO the house proper. To
have an opening large enough to admit a
man into the house proper would have
been to invite in more fresh, cold air than
the poor natives could conquer with their
wretched little fires.
Wien my friend, the missionary, ar
rived at the first of these underground
homes his shoes we're worn out, and he
was tired and discouraged. The natives
fed him with the best they had and put
him to bed, comforted with the best OF
their store OF the skins of seals and bears.
They wished him to remain, but he was
able to make them understand that he
must press on at once TO another village,
which in reality he wished to reach in
time to atone for a mistake which he had
made in carrying out the orders OF his
Bishop.
While the missionary lay and slept
through the long hours of the night, the
natives sat up and worked for him as fear
we Christian people would not be very apt
to work for any strangers who came to our
shores without money.
They made him new boots, high and
strong, and lined them well with straw, to
keep the cold out and the warmth within.

Yet the Enveloping Tissue Was Not
Broken.
A curious experiment has been made at
Briancon, in the presence OF the city OH
Gals and the officers of the artillery. A
quartermaster named Armand had re-
ceived in his breast two shots from revol-
yer in the hands of a revolutionist, but,
strangely enough, his military coat was not
perforated while, in the papers and book
in the pocket of the garment were found
two circular holes corresponding In diam
eter with two balls found the day after the
attack on the fl oor of the arsenal. figure
was dressed in soldiers coat and papers
and book similar to those carried by
Armand were placed in the pocket. Several
balls were fired at the figure, but, although
the coat was not injured, circular holes
were found in the book corresponding with
the balls of the revolver used In the ex-
pertinent.
Mr.. Paul Issartier writes the following
comment:
"The fact does not seem very extraor-
dinary. | have myself seen a similar CIR
cu1nstance, or rather one that presents
some analogy to this story of the Quarter
master Armand A workman received a
cut with hatchet on his shoulder; the
flesh was found to be very deeply cut, al
though his clothing was not damaged in
any way"
A simple experiment will enable any one
to believe in the possibility OF this: Put
potato, an apple or any soft fruit which
has no kernel inside in handkerchief,
suspending it by the four corners tied to-
gether, SO that nothing touches it. BY
striking from below with a kitchen knife
at the suspended fruit it will be gashed or
cut through. But however sharp the knife
or fine the handkerchief the cloth will not
be injured.
Is there not some relation between the
effect of the knife in this experiment and
that of the ball as described Popular
Science News.

THAT GEOGRAPHY LESSON.

Just few little nephews and nieces-
good little Gringoes all this time-have
sent in their geography letters. Perhaps
there'l Ii be ever so many more next week,
and perhaps-who knows?-there may be
some from foreign parts
Here are the letters, and surely no one
could read them without learning some
thing new about the great and glorious
State we live in.
Los ANGELES, Nov. %.
Dear Geography Editor: There are so many
interesting things to tell about Los Angeles
that hardly know where to begin. Best Of all
there is the river; in summer the lowlands
about 1t are covered with flowers, and great
fields of suniowers are blooming there still
Down from the hills little clear brooks come
running to the river and you can see the
pretty pebbles shining under the water
There are beautiful orange groves all about
the country here and the trees never drop
their leaves but always shining green
The oranges ripen and hang, and almost any
day in the year you can go to an orange tree
and gather fruit and sweet.scented flowers.
English walnuts grow here, too and the trees
are pretty for shade.
There are reservoirs all among the hills that
supply the water for our city. Around these
little lakes are planted grass and palms and
other trees and flowers. Then you see there is
nice little park, and people can take boat
rides on the lakes and be happy.
Christmas berries grow among the hills and
we are going to decorate the house. You can
look through the white roses that cover our
porch to the white snow on the hills beyond
and it looks pretty. l will write more next
time. RUTHIE c. NJ
ALAMEDA
Dear Call: am just going to write compo-
sition about Alameda, and big boy told me
some of the things to say.
Alameda is situated about ten miles from
San Francisco. 1t is mostly up of houses for
people to live in who have to work in San
Francisco.
Alameda is situated upon peninsula which
Government canal is finished. There is new
steel drawbridge across the canal and when

Octoberys. February Oats.

In the south there are two periods
for sowing oats-in the fall and in the
spring. While there is some risk OF
losing the crop when sown in the fall
it is well enough to take that risk il
the sowing is made at the proper time.
Many farmers as high up as Middle
Georgia have gotten into the habit OF
making their sowings in November
and some as late as December and as a
result the crop is damaged, if not
ruined, two years out of three. We be,
.ieve there is a gain in sowing in the
:all if the sowing is made early enough
70 show solid green by the last of
October or early in November. But
If the oats cannot be put in properly
in the early fallit is far better to wait
until February, then put them in land
that has been well plowed. For this
sowing it is well to plow the land in
November or December, turning un,
der any vegetable matter that may be
on it. The oat crop comes in alta very
opportune time, and as the grain is the
best food for working stock, no far
mer should attempt to get along with
out crop of it. At least 5 acres to
the plow should be sown. It is a
good plan to set apart acres to grow
the double crop of peas and oats or if
clover is sown with the oats in October
it Will be better still, in great many
instances. We hope our farmers gen,
orally will give the crimson clover a
trial this fall. Of course it will not
do much on very poor land, but it will
be worth great deal to medium soil
as an enricher. Like burr clover and
vetch, it can be sown to advantage
only in the fall
