explain it, for all the known streams and
lakes were frozen solid. Finally the In
dams took him back into the hills to a
lake which was sixty miles long and fifteen
in width. He called it Selawik They
have kept the secret well, and only few
white men know of the lake
There seems to be some sympathy be-
tween Lake Selawik and the ocean which
is difficult to explain. There seems to be
no connection; nevertheless the lake is
several feet higher when the ocean is at
its hight, and at low tide it is correspond
ingly lower. The hours of high tide are
the same as on the ocean at the same dis
lance north. Yet this lake is hundreds Of
miles from salt water, and there is no
evidence of any connection with the sea.
BESIDES, the water is fresh at all times. He
accounts for the warmth of the water by
powerful hot springs flowing into the lake
Tar below the surface, but the matter OF
tldes is puzzler. The water is deep, and
IN many places no bottom can be found.
ne nsh appear to stay near the surface.
Inc Indians have legends of terrible
monsters which used TO appear on the sur
lace OF the lake. One story has come
down from generations, and tells of the
mysterious disappearance of two Indian
men ana three women while fishing from
ratt in the southern end of the lake
Ihey went out for a days fishing in the
morning from an Indian camp along the
shore of the lake. They failed to return
that evening, and the next day the Indians
went down to look for them. They found
the raft without difficulty, but not a trace
OF either the men or women. The legend
accounts for their disappearance in this
way: For years an awful white thing
with numbers of long white arms had been
swimming In that part of the lake. The
INDIANS had never fished there for fear
OF the monster but as it had not been
seen for a long time, the unfortunate
hshermen thought it was safe to try that
part of the lake. OF course, the monster
was displeased at this invasion of its do
main, and as a punishment pulled them
off the raft and carried them down thous-
ands of feet into the bottomless part of
the lake. At any rate, the five people
We're never seen again. nor did their bod
les ever come to the surface. The legend
is believed in implicitly by the Indians,
who would almost as soon be killed as
venture on the tabooed part Of the lake
Nothing has been seen of the mysterious
monster in later years.
In reference to keeping UP the food sup
ply at Dawson. Father Tosi says that
man with boathook could kill more sal
mon in an hour than he could eat in
fortnight, and suggests salmon catching
IN mldwnter as an occupation for those
who cannot get other work. With two
good dogs and a sled the lake is within
easy reach of Dawson. There would be no
trouble about keeping the fish caught on
account of the high temperature. The IN
dams, are counting ion selling the Lake
Selawlk fish this winter should food bring
high prices at Dawson. They are sun
trying to guard their secret. but there are
men at Dawson who know of the lake anu
its wonderful peculiarities.

We have determined to give away
large amount of money to advertise THE
AMERICAN WOMAN. We have now
circulation of over 100000 each month, and
we want to reach the million mark, hence
we have decided to give away at least $3.50

payment for little time and study and
this is an opportunity to show whether you
are able to get up a correct list. We eX-
pect in this competition to widely extend
the circulation of THE AMERICAN WO-
MAN. From large circulation we are
able to get high prices for advertising in
our columns, and it is in this way that we
are able to offer these liberal inducements
for prizes. We can ad a large amount each
year to our income in doing this, as the
larger the circulation the more valuable
the space becomes to the advertiser and
the more they are willing to pay for plac-
ing their announcements in our columns.

Political Science" often of an inge-
NOUS sort, is used in choosing the sites
Of capitals; but Brazil has now en-
ployed natural science for the purpose
Rio de Janelro being unhealthy, the
Brazilian government appointed COM
mission Of scientists to select loca-
ton suitable for a new capital. The
commission has fixed upon a plateau
1000 feet above the sea-level. The dis
lance by rail from the coast is said to
be eighteen hours. No yellow fever
invades the spot, and other conditions
favorable to health are reported. The
Popular Science News says that this Ia
believed to be the first occasion on rec
ord in which science has been called
In to choose the site of a capital. Bad
air and bad legislation have doubtless
been associated, more than once, as
cause and effect.

HISTORY OF GLOVES.
They Have Played Great Part In the
Annals of Romance.

Gloves have breathed defiance
from knight to knight, served as
pledges OF love between cavaliers and
ladies fair, hung upon the affairs OF
gloomy medieval churches, mute wit
nesses to the vows of pious devoteesi
have been fastened upon church walls
as challenges to mortal combat from
foe to foe, says Iippincotts. They
have embellished the pages Of history,
the annals OF romance, the flights of
poesy and more than once have borne
In their perfumed palms the seeds OF
death. Whence or where the glove
originated is unknown. A plausible
theory suggests that the early mas in
vented them for use In his slow and
painful labor among the bushes A
very rough, homely glove 1t must have
been, Of untanned skins or coarse fab
rio, and fingerless.
They are mentioned IN Homer as
having been worn by Laertes in his
retirement, and Xenophon makes mem
tion of Cyrus gloves. Their use was
held up to scorn by both these writer's
and among orientals was considered
a mark Of effeminacy. They were worn
by the Greek pugilists and wrestlers
and when introduced in Rome made
rapid progress in popularity among
men of wealth and nobility. Under
the emperors they developed fingers
called digy.alia. Athenaeus relates a
story of a celebrated glutton who used
to wear gloves at the table in order
to finger the meat while 1t was hot and
so devour more than his companions.
1t Is not known how they reached Brit
ain, but 1t must have been at an early
period Mention is made of them in
the poem of Beowulf. AS the word is
of Saxon origin, from glof, they may
have been introduced by that people;
but their use was never common until
after the advent of the Normans, and
then 1t was restricted to the gentlemen
OF the noble and royal families.

rious before evening that her mother
was greatly alarmed. The little suf-
ferer was put to bed and from that
couch she has never risen since. Her
Illness was long and severe, the more
so because it's nature baffled the best
physicians. In the uncertainty she
was treated for various ailments of the
head and body, though to none did she
yield, but grew steadily worse. No
food would remain upon her stomach
and the little figure, once so plump
and strong, soon became withered and
pinched. These were anxious days in
the Gillian household, for even the
most sanguine hope was overshadowed
by the cold fact that death, speedy
and relentless, was inevitable. And
what the parents had long feared SEEM
lngly came to pass. Ethel died after
days of Inconsistencies. The attend
ing physicians, still perplexed at her
strange illness, signed a certificate
stating life was extinct, and the legal
document still stands on the records of
the health Office at Palouse as evidence
that Miss Ethel Gillian is no more,
Notwithstanding the fact that she still
lives. But dead she certainly seemed
to be. None of the fatal signs were
lacking. The body became cold and
clammy and Of marble-like rigidity
during the three days that it lay in
state. Friends gathered to witness the

A decision Of the Indiana Supreme
Court upheld the validity of the state
law of 1898, which provides for the
taxation of telephone, telegraph, pal
ace car, sleeping car, dining car, ex-
press and fast freight companies, and
empowers the state board of tax COM
missioners to assess taxation other
than that of local character, and i'm
poses a penalty Of so per cent upon
those failing to pay their taxes at the
time specified. The amount involved in
the Indiana cases Is estimated by the
Indiana encouragement at 100000.
In the Ohio cases the amount involved
is more considerable. The state will,
It is said, be gamer by about $4OO,-
900, the approximate amount of the
taxes for three years, not to speak OF
the amount which will go into the
state treasury from this source annu-
ally.

David Starr Jordan, president Of
Stanford University, says: "One Of
the most disquieting features Of the
social condition of our times Is the
rush Of young men to the cities. Re-
sulting from this Is the weakness and
instability of the farming population
as compared with the same class half
a century ago, Steadiness of national
character goes with flrmness Of foot
hold on the soil. We may we'll look
with alarm on a condition in which
all men Of wealth and power shall be
gathered in the cities, while the farms
are left to the weak and inefficient or
to the peasants Of other nations. As
matters are, the cities are great de-
stroyers Of human life. We have not
learned properly to govern them nor
to make them effective, and every city
Is full of human failures, results Of
misdirected effort. A tour of the prin-
cipal streets, halls and meeting places
on Sunday evening in any great city
will show how terribly true this is.
Certainly one-fourth the present pop
ulation Of such city as San Francisco
for example has no real business there.
These people are doing nothing which
Is effective for themselves or helpful
to others, and the condition Of the
other three-fourths, and most likely
their own condition, would be distinct
ly improved if these misfit persons
would go back to the farms"

Coat. of Mail for Mnllonairs..

A story is floating about to the effect
that four American millionaires have
recently had made in Sheffield, Eng
land, steel waistcoats and coats which
are warranted to secure them immu-
nifty from death in ordinary cases Of at
tempts at assassination. The armor is
of chain mail, so light that when one
has worn it a week or two 1t is no in
cumbrance to him, and strong enough
TO turn dagger or sword thrust,
though it would not stop bullet. A
number OF English statesmen, the tale
proceeds, have been using this armor
since the days of the Fenian riots.

last earthly rites and slowly passed by
the bier looking sadly down upon the
pinched face mirrored beneath the
glass cover OF the casket. And last OF
all, convulsed with sorrow, came the
despairing mother. She bent ever the
cold form Of the girl who had been 80
dear to her, her tears falling upon the
polished glass surface, when suddenly
she started back with an exclamation
of surprise. The eyes of the dead girl
had opened with a slow, panied ex-
preston, and as soon as the casket
cover was removed she sat bolt up
right and after gazing about for few
moments closed her eyes again and
YEARLY exclaimed:
"Oh, mamma, why did you waken
me? l wanted to sleep longer. It's so
dark. Why do you not light the lamp?"
In delirium OF delight her mother
told her that 1t was broad daylight,
and begged her to open her eyes and
look on the loving faces Of those who
had gathered about her. But her eyes
never opened. She was blind.
AS soon as the story of the miracu-
lous resuscitation became known the
house was overrun with callers. The
Rev. A. Y. Skee and wife with the
Rev. ]. G. Garrick were among the
first to visit the strangely afflicted girl.
Both clergymen set about at once TO
test the remarkable power of vision
and speak in wonder of what they saw.
Though her eyes are fixed and immov-
BILE by any act Of her will, little Ethel
let her hands wander over the persons
of her visitors and described them
