There Are Always Forty and the
Six Sundays.

A communication has been received
by the G o e asking for an explana-
ton as to why there are forty-seven
days in Lent in the year 1897. The
writer has evidently made a mistake in
counting the days, as there are but
forty-six days this year the same as
any other year, or, more properly
speaking, forty days and six Sundays,
for the Sundays are not counted in the
days of fasting. 1t is impossible that
there be any more or any less than
forty week days and six Sundays in
the Lenten period, owing to the fact
that it always begins on the same day
of the week. Ash Wednesday, and ends
on the Saturday evening preceding
Easter Sunday. This is probably
where the writer of the communication
made his miscount of the days, that is,
by counting Easter as the last day of
Lent. The Lenten period ends on Easter
eve. This manner of computing the
days was handed down by the Jews.
To them day is from sunset to sun
set and not, as with the people of to-
day, from sunrise to sunset

The Southern Hiehlanders

The strange and queer are typical of
the Tennessee mountains. 1t is the
country of the one-roomed cabin.
Archeologists are continually digging up
new and fearful discoveries from the
bowels of the mountains. 1t was once
the home of the cliff-dwellers. and the
clay eaters thrive there now. Much of
the money given by Southern churches
for home missions goes to the Tennessee
mountains. A Baptist missionary made
the startling statement that there We're
a half-million people living in the Appa-
lachian belt who had no L.bles. Some of
them rever saw Bible.
The home mission societies have estab-
lished four schools within short time.
These are well-equipped central schools,
designed as feeders for UNCONVENTIONAL
colleges Small day schools, taught in
log cabins, are located in the remote and
isolated valleys and cOves of the noun

living does not produce the best class of

Six thousand of the children of the
Southern Highlanders are in school, while
curing an education. There are 1900. 900
Southern Highlanders in the mountains

Another State in Alaska.

Another state is wanted in Alaska
that is it is wanted by some. They have
arranged nearly all the details, even to
the extent of selecting whom the gov
einor ought to be, it appears from the
reports. 1t is not unreasonable to sup
pose. however, that better government
could be assured in the gold region
were the seat of administrative gov
eminent nearer to it than Sitka.
The whole territory of Alaska COM
prises $1,000 square miles, in all OF
which today there must be less than
$1,000 inhabitants, most of whom are
savages. Seven years ago there were
%. 644 inha bitants enumerated, of which
only 4,29S were whites. OF course this
is only an estimate of the number of
savages. About eighteen states of the
size of Maine could be made out OF
Alaska SO that il it appears desirable
to cut q new territory out of that area
there ought to be no lack Of material.
But something besides the desire of I
few people to get territorial perquisites
will probably influence the decision of
Congress relative to the matter.

tested against slavery. There are no in

abOunds.
The lowest forms of civilization in the
mountains are the clay-eaters. These
people eat clay with n relish. and the
only bad effect seems to be the pale,
death-colOred skin and stunted growth
that result The children who eat clay
grow old prematurely. and the glow Of
youth leaves them. They are utterly
without ambition. lstless. and Indifferent
of all conditions. present or future.
The clay is found along the banks of
the mountain streams in ineXhaustible
quantities. and is of a dirty white and
yellow color. 1t has peculiar oily ap-
pearance. and tne oil keeps it from stick
ing to the hands or mouth. When dry it
does not crumble. and a little water soft
ems it until it can be rolled into any
shape. The clay is tasteless. but it must
possess some nourishment, as these peO-
pie claim they can subsist on it for days
without other food. They place a small
piece of it in the mouth and keep it there
until it dissOlves and slowly trickles down
their threats. 1t is eaten in small Jumps.
The appetite once fully developed for
clay means that the victim is a -fiepd

piph. hsria ou.bssak a Fort Kent.

While the State board Of health IS
making no great alarm over the diph-
liberia outbreak in the vicinity OF FIT.
Kent, it evidently is determined to put
forth every effort to check the dread
disease. Moreover, 1t does not seem
that there is in this outbreak anything
to cause any, general alarm even in the
parts of the county not far distant
from the place of the outbreak and it
is pretty certain that it will not spread
farther. The character and habits CT
the people preclude this, except in ex-
ceptional instances. for they live in a
condition somewhat isolated from the
husy world outside. But there is rea-
son to fear that it will be only after a
struggle that the epidemic will be
checked among the people themselves.
They are social and restless under the
restrictions required by quarantine and
net in many cases appreciative of the
necessity OF Such regulations. Already
they have so freely intermingled that
the disease has been spread, perhaps
to a greater extent than is now compre-
hended by the authorities. The prin-
cipal danger, however, is to the COM
munities about FIT. Kent and judging
from the reports that danger is con-
siderable.
