The Etahs, handful of Eskimos
numbering probably 100 persons, are
the most northern people Of the world.
They have their abiding place ON the
west coast of Greenland, between IS
and 20 degrees north latitude. For
many years after DR.. Kane came home
with his vivid and absorbing story of
these isolated natives they were sup
posed to have built their stone huts
nearer the pole than any other human
beings. 1t is known now, however,
thanks to Bass Is, Mares and Greedy,
that there are numerous traces of 'hr-
man occupancy as far north as the
eighty second parallel, and so long ago
was it that they built their huts and
sledges and hunted the bear and walrus
in the far north of Grant Land that the
Etah natives of today have only the
dimmest and most uncertain traditions
of them.-Pittsburg Dispatch.

When any part of the body isn't
doing the work that nature intended
it to do, it puts the whole system out
OF tune-out of harmony. Sickness
in one part of the body is likely to
run into all parts of the body. When
children stand a row of bricks on
end, they knock the whole row down
by upsetting one brick. That is ex-
actly what happens to the health
when the bowels fail to perform
their proper function. Constipation
makes trouble all along the line
puts the liver out of order, is bad
for the kidneys-bad for the stom-
ach. 1t holds in the body poisonous
matter. and because it cannot go
any place else it gets into the blood.
The blood carries it all over the sys-
tenn. That makes sluggishness, las
situde. bad breath and foul taste in
the mouth, fills the stomach with
gas and causes windy belching, stops
digestion in the stomach, causes

A Procession of Worma.

In some of the Hungarian forests and
In the pine woods of Norway there ex-
lists tiny, wormlike insect called the
sciara, Of the genus tipula. During the
month of July or early in August they
gather together in large numbers, pre-
paratory to migrating in search of food
Or for change of condition. When set
ting out on this journey, they stick
themselves together by means of some
glutfnous matter and form a huge ser
pent-like mass, often reaching a length
of between 40 and 90 feet and several
inches III thickness. As the sciara is
only on an average about three thirty
seconds of an inch in length, with no
appreciable breadth whatever, the num-
Der required to compose continuous
line of the size above mentioned is al
most incalcuIable. Their pace is, of
course. very slow, and upon meeting
an obstacle, such as stick or stone,
they will either writhe over or around
it, sometimes breaking into two bodies
for this purpose.
M. Guerin-Meneville, a celebrated
French naturalist, says that if the rear
portion Of this wonderful snakelike
procession be brought into ccatact with
the front part and sort of circle formed
the insects will keep moving round in
that circle for hours without apparently
noticing that they are getting no "for-
raider" on their journey. If the process
sion be broken in two, the portions will
reunlte In short time. The Norwegian
peasants, when they meet one of these
trains. will lay some article of their
clothing, such as belt or handker-
chief, on the ground in front of it. If
the procession passes over it, it is re-
garded as good sign, but if it makes a
way round the reverse is believed. In
the Moravian districts similar expert
ment is supposed to foretell a good or
bad harvest.-Popular Science.

HER FRIEND FROM KANSAS

Posese Csc.
The trial of the Porter murder
case 10 expected to come up for trial
at Cambridge at the November term
of the circuit court. Mrs. Porter,
who il accused Of disposing of her
husband at their home in Colona BY
means Of slow poisoning. is out on
bail. while Miss Carrie Dion. the
domestic in the Porter household,
who turned states evidence and who
il held as an accomplice in the
crime. is prisoner at the Henry
county Jail.
Carrie Dion tells . story of the
murder which the Henry county au-
thorities believe. On her testimony
almost wholly depended the convic-
ton of Mrs. Porter at first, but the
prosecution has since gathered to-
gether facts which they say will
remove all doubt which some may
entertain as to the guilt of Mrs. Por-
ter when made public in the court
room.
An interesting phase in the case
which has recently come to light is
the claim that Mrs. Porter has a
male friend in Kansas, who made oc-
casional visits to her at Colona, and
who shed no tears when he learned
Of the death of her husband. His
connection with subsequent events
will in all probability develop at the
trial. He Is also said to be furnish
ing money to assist in defending
Mrs. Porter.

northeast Of here. but over the line

Northern trains. Sylvanite has grown
in a year from one lonely cabin to a
pretentious little town of 300 people,
with three general merchandise stores,
one drug store, hotel and saw mill.
There are saloons, of course, which it
might be more charitable not to emu
merate, and ten-stamp quartz mill
and concentration, which turns out
$500 gold brick every week. The
rock is of the gold milling variety, and
there's lots of it in sight. The largest
placer claim covers 16O acres and be-
longs to a Kalispel company. The in
tention is to work it by hydraulic pow
er. A single cradle has cleaned up over
$50 day to the man. Extensive work
is being done on the Goldfint and
Keystone Mines one mile from town,
and. altogether, the Sylvanite promises
to be one Of the most prosperous
camps in the American Kootenai. Lee
onia is 121 miles east of Spokane. The
Sylvanite people are preparing to build
a telephone connection with the rail
way. i
