Learning STYLE.

A lady, young in years and young In
her work, writes the fashion articles
for a monthly publication. She loves
to talk of her work, especially to men,
and the Chicago Tribune reports re-
cent conversation.
Recently man was presented to her,
and Immediately was claimed by the
young writer as a listener. He was at
tentive to every word, and having
found such listener, she began to tell
him of her hopes and aspirations. 1t
wouldn't be long, she felt sure, before
she would be recognized as an authori-
ty on tulles and moussellne de sole,
and she was hopeful that her articles
would be copied far and wide.
The young man assured her that he
thought fame would surely come, and
then she told him that not only was
she anxious to have good fashions, but
4 also she wished to become brilliant
/ writer.
"rhen, of course. you have read Her
bert Spencer and Robert Louis Steven
son on style" he responded, with ;
laugh, thinking to help her out.
"Oh, no. | haven't, and | don't thinl
| will need to. | go to the dry good
stores for mine"

ArCtin Seasons.

The seasons In the north frigid zone
or arctic circle follow the seasons In
the north temperate zone, though, OF
course, about the pole and for 1000
miles south of 1t in every direction the
winters are much more severe and
longer, while there Is practically Meth
er spring nor fall, three or four months
of unseasonably warm weather consid-
ering the latitude, being what the resi-
dents in Alaska and Northern Siberia
may expect. The equatorial regions
have their wet and dry seasons, the
change of seasons being usually accom-
panied by severe storms, which occur
In September and March, often attain

we call our winter is the dry and pleas

north and south, and our summer Is, ID

Good Americans who deplore the dis
appearance of their flag from the high
seas are in position to derive such COM
fort as companlonship affords from the
predicament of France. There are two
French government commissions now
wrestling with the problem which have
given out preliminary figures, though
neither Is yet ready with its report. 1t
appears that In 1850 the French sailing
vessels occupied rank Immediately
after England, with a total of nearly
100000 tons; ten years ago they had
fallen to the sixth rank, and are now
ninth, coming after Russia, Sweden
and Greece. AS regards the steamships

His Real Worth,

The spirit of thrift which pervades,
or used to peryade, New England, is
amusingly illustrated in a remark once
made by Vermont farmer.
He had been seriously Ill In mid
summer, but his strong constitution
stood him in good stead and he quickly
rallied. On being asked In the autumn
how he was feeling. he said cheerfully:
"Oh, I'm fair to middling now, thank
We; but anyway 1t don't make SO much
difference, seeing the FARMS pretty

BIO ANTS USED IN SURGERY
How Indians in Deep Brazilian Forests
Sew Up Wound.

Down in the Brazilian forests sur.
geons are not always at hand and hos
pitfalls fitted with modern surgical ap.
pliances are few and far between. But
these facts do not bother the Brazilian
Indian. For centuries he has known
how to take care of himself, how ia
treat wounds and cuts and distempers
without medical or surgical aid, and
one of the most novel of these rude sur
gical customs is that Of sewing M
wounds with the aid of ants.
Septicaemia and pyaemia have beer
banished from the world of surgery liz
civilization almost entirely by the pro
gress made in antiseptic methods an6
the Introduction Of anaesthetics in sur
gerry has made possible operations
which fifty years ago would not be
dreamed of. But no surgeon, even of
the most advanced school, left to him
self In a Brazilian forest without In
struments or appliances of any kind
could care for a cut as neatly as do the
Indians. The means employed Is .
species of very large ant. which is fur
nished with very powerful mandibles
capable of biting through almost any
thing. The insect has no sting and M
swelling or other painful results follow
its bite. Its lower lip is strange joint
ed organ, which the ant has the powe
of projecting far beyond the upper lii
on occasion. At its extremity it has
pair of powerful forceps with which !
can grasp and hold tenaciously smal
objects and nothing not encased in met
al can resist their strength.
When the Indian receives Il cut o
wound from knife or thorn he pre-
| ceeds to catch number of these anti
Holding the lips of the wound close t.
gether he applies the mouth of an an

through and holds on. Then the bod

another ant is placed in position unit
there is row of jaws along the wount
holding it firmly shut, and when it
healed the jaws are removed with
forceps or other instrument. This sty

cause any Inconvenience, although Il

Most NortherIy Theater.

The farthest north theater in the
world is undoubtedly that at Circle
City, Alaska. Circle City is S9S miles
north of Juneau, which is the best
known Alaska town. The isolation OF
the region may be judged from the fact
that it cost Casey Moran, the manager,
81 postage TO send the letter containing
a picture and the facts about his COM
pany to Juneau on its journey to the
Clipper Office. The Circle City theater
is a variety house, with seven men and
six women in its company of actors
The price of admission is $3.50, which
does not indicate so much the exalted
character of the entertainment as the
high schedule of prices for everything
which prevails at Circle City. The au
diences are drawn for the most par
from the neighboring fields.-Atlant'

Electrical Power in America


John Bogart, one of the American
engineers connected with the work Of
completing the Niagara Falls electrical
power works, gives to the Pail Mall
Gazette of London some interesting
facts in regard to electrical power in
America. The Niagara company fur
nishes an electrical horsepower of 49,
600 with opacity for 10000, and pos
sibilities Of increasing to any extent
needed. The works cost $9,0O0,000, it
having been necessary to construct a
tunnel 1000 feet long at a considera-
BILE depth and through solid rock. OF
the utility of the work the fact that
Buffalo and Niagara City are supplied
at the rate of $40 per horsepower per
annum, while in some cases nearly
| 500 per horsepower has been paid, Is
sufficient evidence. Next to the electri-
cal works at Niagara are those at Sault
! Ste Marie and according to Mr.. Bogart
| the greatest of all are In construction

the town of Massena. \. Y, close to
