cooking utensils, tent and blankets,
fire arms and fishing tackle. and
two photograph cameras, an oXlO
and a 4x5, with a good supply OF
plates. and other things necessary
to the enjoyment of such a trip.
Three pack horses were necessary
to carry this outfit, and they, with
the three saddle horses made quite
a cavacade. Nor was the party
complete with its three men and
six horses, for old sport" the
good-natured setter, was decidedly
in evidence as he capered on ahead,

weary bones that awaited him only
few DAYS distant
The 81 miles to Kendrick, Idaho,
was the journey mapped out for
the day, and a days journey 1t
proved too, for novices as were the
trio in packing load on a horse,
it was a matter Of frequent occur
renee to have to stop and tighten a
cinche or change a pack At Corn
wall noon camp was made, and
after a hard, dusty ride, and just as
the shades Of night were falling,
Kendricl was reached, and the first
camp was pitched on the bank Of
the PotIatch, The horses were
stabbed and given good feeds Of hay
and grain, as it would doubtless be
the last opportunity for them to get
anything but grass during the trip.
The following forenoon was spent
in re-modelIing the packs, as a
quantity of provisions had been
sent this far by freight. That af-
tcrnoon q fourteen mile ride
brought the party to SHELLS mill,
and a pleasant camp was made be-
meath the rustling pines. The
horses were turned loose here for
the first time to pick along the hill
sides, three of them being hoppIed
to prevent them straying too far,
ole also wearing a bell that better
track might be kept of them. At
about ten o'clock the engineer and
the pencil-pusher, failing to hear
the tinkIing of the bell, and think
ing it better to keep a good lookout
on the equines this first night, as
they were yet strangers to each
other, arose, leaving the artist to
his slumbers, his lusty snOres act
ing as a fog horn, and marking
well the location of the camp, AT
ter a two hours chase through
brush and bramble the searchcrs
discovered the horses wandering
away from camp toward the Clear
water river, the hopple8 not inter
fering much with their progress.
That sleep might not be again
broken into during the few hours
vet remaining Of the night, the
horses were taken to camp and tied
to trees Of huge proportions, the
two miles to camp being easily
traversed in the darkness, as the
snores Of the slambering artist
came with unceasing regularity.
The North Fork ferry, owned by
Indians, was crossed at noon the
next day, and Ford's creek was
reached before dark and camp
made at "RattIesnake' spring. The
night was passed in peace, notwith-
standing the terrifying name of the
place. A few minutes coaNing on

The soLence ID smiIes.

The gentle art Of smiling is the latest
thing which science has been mcddling
with, tracing back to its very beginning
and pointing out with something like
sneer how this facial expression first
came to adorn the face of primeval man.
Mr.. Edward Cuyer, in a recent lee
ture in Paris before the Societe d An
thropologie, stated that our smiles, how
ever winning to outward seeming, are
simply records of our very remote an
cestors' selfshness, greediness and pug
nacity.
The passion that dominated all others
in primitive man was the desire for
food. Tho animals of those days wefe
huge and feroo, and the implements Of
hunting few and crude. The naked
hunter, therefore, was forced TO so Oft
times with an empty stomach, but
when he made a kill he gorged himself
with meat. The anticipation of the mp
preaching satisfaction Of his hunger
caused him TO open his mouth and show
his teeth, partly through pleasure and
partly through an instructive impulse
to get himself in readiness for the i'm
mediate slowing away Of his food.
With the progress Of civilization,
however, this facial contortiCn grew tc
be caused by other ploasurable things
and then came the sound Of audible
laughter.
The graceful smile Of the hostess
, therefore, as she receives her guests j
merely an inherited expression of salts
faction derived from a savage progcn
itor who anticipated a good time vhei
he had people to dinner-or for dinner.
Again, the open smile Of more opei
pleasure is simply survival of the gar
e ing mouth with which the semisiinia
prepared TO tackle roast grandmother. =

SOMETHING ABOUT EYES.

1t is only within recent years that
the influence OF diseased and defective
eyes has been recognized as the cause
of much suffering to human beings. We
do not mean the causes which are
plain from defective eyes. such as are
usually cured by the proper use OF
glasses, but rather complaints that
have no apparent connection with the
eye. Among the most common OF these
are headaches, which are now proved
to be frequently caused by the use OF
improper glasses, glasses which may
help the eyeslght, but so affect the
nerves of the eye that they produce
headache.
This all goes to show that the eyes
OF children should be carefully ex-
AHMED by a competent oculist fire.

not, for affections OF the eye are fire.
quently unknown TO their possessQr. Not
long since . boy Of Is was given a new
lease of life in a city optical store. This
boy had attended school for some
years, and was regarded as underwit-
ted, because he learned with great diff
Guilty, and could scarcely read when he
left school at IA years of age. The man
who employed him after that, found
that he possessed even more than ordi.
nary intelligence, and decided that his
ignorance was NOT due to a dofectiv,
mind.
On making this discovery his EN-
ployer, in looking for other causes foi
the boys stupidness, found that he wa
suffering from short sightedness, ant
when a pair of spectacles were put OF
him he declared that he was in a ney
world. II seems that the boy hal
complained to his teacher that h
could not see the blackboard. but sh
did not believe It. He could not read larg
letters six feet away, but, not full
realizing the defect, he had struggle

that no teacher can be fully prepar

A New Lifc-BOat.

Anything that bears upon life saw
ing at sea is of great interest to hu-
name persons. There have been many
inventions in the way OF life.boats.
but most of them have many obiec-
tions, and some have proven them
selves in emergencies entirely worth
less. A new boat is divided into two
lengthwise sections. There are water
tight compartments which are filled
with air-tight metallic tanks. These
are fastened to the floor of the boat,
and are intended as receptacles for
provisions, water, clothing and the
like, and in cases of emergency,
ammunition. 1t makes not the slight
est difference how the boat comes in
contact with the water-whether she
be pitched in headforemost or dropped
backwards or sidewise-as she rights
herself almost instantly and is practi'
nally non. sinkable. The tanks for
food assist in keeping her adoat, as. if
properly used, they alone would keep
the boat from swamping.

this boat declare it the most sensible
and practical article of its kind that
has as yet been produced. New York

Life of a Cannon.

La Nature contains a short note in
which the horse power of cannon is
calculated. An Italian cannon of one
hundred tons, with charge OF $50
pounds of powder and shot weighing
about two thousand pounds, will give
an initial velocity of 253 meters per
second; the length of time during
which the powder acts is less than one
hundredth of second, from which il
follows that the horse power developed
is about seventeen million. The writer
adds that after about one hundred
shots the cannon is put out of service,
and it's total active life is therefore
only one second! In large modern
cannon the horse power 1uns as high
rs twenty-four million. If the writer
had carried out these calculations still
farther. he would have found that,
after all, this $4,000, 000-horse power
does not represent large amount Of
energy, as it would be just sufficient
to run thirty-one incandescent lamps
for only one day.

One evening she took advantage of

her fathers house, and rang the bell,

How to Remove q FI1ea Ring.

When ring is fixed on the finger
from the swelling of the skin or joint,
rub the finger with soap and cold
water, and It will then generally ad.
NIT of its removal. If this fails, take
strong thread or piece of fine twine,
and, beginning at the end Of the fin.
ger, wind it regularly around and
around it, with the coils close toe
gether, till the ring is reached; then
slip the end through the ring from the
side next to the end of the finger, and
begin to unwind the string, which, as
it progresses, carries the ring with it.
Sometimes, however, when the finger
is very much swollen, and when the
ring is deeply embedded, even this
plan will not succeed, and the only
resource is to cut through the ring
with pair OF cutting pliers, first slip
ping under it thin piece of metal or
cardboard to protect the skin.

Odd Koala Bear Of Australia.

A firm in London, acting as special
agent for Australian wines, publishes
q striking advertisement representing
koaa or Australian tree bear, with a
cub upon her back. The firm, which
is one of thirty years standing, an
nounces that it has in its possession
the only specimen OF a tree bear in
England.
The koala is an interesting animal,
not because it helps to serve an Eng
lish wine merchant to advertise his
wares, but from the standpoint of the
zoologist. The koala is marsupial
Phalaugistidae, resembling the pha-
hangers in dentition, but possessing
much larger molar teeth. The koala
has hardly the ruliment of tail. 1t
resembles small bear. Its scientific
name comes from two Greek words
meaning respectively pouch and a
bear. Its forefeet have five toes, two
of which are opposed to the other
three. This popularity does not ex.
tend to the hind limbs.
In speaking of the koala an author
ity says that the animal ''lives much
on trees" The hssty reader should
not infer from this that the koala de-
yours trees in its efforts to sustain life.
The idea meant to be conveyed is that
the tree bear spends large part of its
lie in the branches OF the Australian
trees. EThe name koala is of Australian
origin, and seems to be an effort to put
into one word the peculiar sounds ut
tered by the tree bear. AS an adver-
tising feature the koala now leading a
lonely life with her cLb in London is
thorough success. Many people who
are not interested in Australian wines
have visited the tree bear.-New YORK
