Find the artery that is cut and tie a

where it bleeds. Tie the handkerchief
tightly; then make, say, three hard
knots. In the last knot insert a piece Of

Country Where Mountains Smoke and
Coal Is as Soft as Soap.
Prof. l.. l.. Dyche, of the University
of Kansas, returned recently from Alas
IA to Seattle on the City of Topeka,
and left by way of California for his
home. Prof. Dyche went to Cooks in
let especially in search of natural his
tory specimens. He assembled to the
source of the Knik river with an organ
lied expedition that was a success, al
though the obstacles to be overcome
were appalling. The native boatmen
stripped naked, and with ropes pulled
the boat up the turbulent river. Prof.
Dyche got specimens of a new noun
tain sheep, 12 immense moose heads,
caribou, sea otter, birds and many
small animals. July II Prof. Dyche saw
eight inches of snow fall, and August
II six inches fall. He saw three smok-
ing mountains, and experienced an
earthquake of such strength that O
mar could not remain standing during
the quake. He found large coal lodges,
but the coal was so soft that it could
be whitfield with a knife. Prof. Dyche
says that the country is only half made,
anG adds:
ut will be a good country some day
when it is finished. The glaciers are
slowly doing their work, the mountains
are smoking and the rivers are vomit-
ing out quantities of quicksand. Let
it alone, and some day it will be a good
country"
Prof. Dyche met Princess Tom, a
famous fakutat princess, wealthy be-

She has hundreds of blankets, sea-ottef

just bought her fifth husband, a young
man, 20 years old, for whom she paid
500 blankets.

A Dangerous View of Life.

We are constantly confronted with
the fact hat neither material advan-
tages nor intelligence nor education
nor even a good moral record are proof
against ~disloyalty to life. Many causes
are adduced, grief, shame, remorse, de-
spair being among the most numerous.
But perhaps the foundation cause,
which underlies all others, may be said
to be the common habit of thinking that
life is to be valued only for the happi-
ness it yields. Mary people grow up
with the idea that if personal life be
not personally happy it is useless. Thus
when they come to some epoch when
sorrow triumphs ove joy, failure over
success, pain over pleasure, life loses
ali meaning to them and is easily part
ed from. This view of life is essential
" untrue and most injurious.-N. Y.

English clergymen in poor par

A dictionary of Australian English
is being prepared by Prof. Morris, of
the University of Melbourne. Among
the words whose origin he is seeking
are ''larrikin." meaning Il street rough;
'brumby," the Australian wild horse,
and 'brickfielder," a windstorm accom-
panied by dust.
In Syria people never take off their
caps or turbans when entering the
house or visiting a friend, but they al
ways leave their shoes at the door. There
are no mats or scrapes outside, and the
floors inside are covered with expen-
sive rugs, which. in Moslem houses, are
kept very clean, and used to kneel upon
while saying prayers.

CATS AND
Ferocious Felines That Make Havoc Among
Weaker Animals.

1t has taken about 90 years to pro-
degenerating process commencing
soon after the lighthouse was estab-
lished there in 1875. 1t seems hat the
first keepers brought a number of cats
with them, but with unrestrained lib
erty the animals gradually forsook the
comforts of civilization. Goat Island is
the home of thousands of birds and
squirrels, and to this is probably due
the temptation of the ats to forsaket the
keepers fireside. At first the cats would
absent themselves for days at 4 time,
but the kittens were born at home. In
time, however, they got over this. and
lived altogether in the underbrush.
After a few years the descendants OF
the first cats were so wild that they
were afraid of human beings and made
their denS in the crevices of the rocks.
From that time the ats became
wilder, until now they are as ferocious
as the terrible creatures of the noun
tains. They have increased in size and
changed altogether in disposition. They
are always seen in pairs and appear to
mate, as all species of the cat tribe do
in the wild state. The cats live on suuir-
rels, quail and sparrows, as well as such
ether small animals as they can catch.
They are supplied with water from a
dozen springs in different parts of the
island.
In addition to other changes the wild
cats have become hostile to such tame
cats as are brought to the island from
time to time. They will attack them
on sight and never stop till they have
killed their victims.
The chief destruction wrought bv
the wild cats is on the quail that inhabit
the island. The "artful drummers"
used to be there in abundance. but ara
now pretty well thinned out. The cats
are constantly on the alert, and not
only Kill every quail they can catch. but
often destroy whole nests full of Young
10 prevent this the lightkeepers are
always on the lookout for wild cats and
shoot every one that comes anywhere
near the house. AS a consequence the
cats keep some distance away and the
quail seem to think they are safe in that
locality. for there are more nests there
than in any other part of the island.
Many plans have been tried within
the last few years to rid the island of
the hungry, carnivorous pests, but the
more they are prosecuted with shot
trap and poison. the more rapidly they
seem TO multiply.-San Francisco Call

WHEN GIRLS SHOULD MARRY.
Not Until They Are Cooks and House
keepers.

cot Cnth ihey are COOKS ana HOy.Se-
keepers.
A girl should marry when she is
capable of understanding and fulfilling
the duties of Il true wife and thorough
housekeeper. and never before. No
matter how old she may be, if she is not
capable of managing a house IN every
department of it she is not old enough
to get married. When she promises to
take the position of wife and home
maker, the mar who holds her promise
has every right to suppose that she
knows herself competent to fulfill it.
If she proves to be incompetent or IN
willing he has good eason to consider
himself cheated. No matter how plain
the home may be, if it is in accordance
with the husbands means and he finds
it neatly kept and the meals (no matter
how simple) served from shining dishes
and clean table linen, that husband will
leave his home with loving words and
thoughts and look ahead with eager
ness to the time when he can return.
Let a girl play the piano and acquire
every accomplishment within her
power, the more the better, for every
one will be that much more power tc
be used in making a happy home. Az
the same time, if she cannot go into the
kitchen, if necessary, and cbeerfully
prepare just as good a meal as anyone
could with the same material, and serve
it neatly after it is prepared, she would
better defer her marriage until she
learns. If girls would thoroughly fit
themselves for the position of intelli-
gent housekeepers before they marry
there would be fewer discontinued. un.
happy wives and more happy homes
