How the Elephant sieeps.

One of the most erroneous Of the
many queer ideas which the layman
has on the questions of natural history
is the one respecting the elephants
mode of sleeping. Even the old school
of naturalists declared that the ele-
phant had never been known to sleep
except in standing position. OF late,
however, say, within the last century,
it has been learned that the error came
about by persons studying the habits
of such beasts as had not been long in
captivity. Such animals, when under
going the process Of dOmestication,
have been known to stand for twelve,
eighteen or even twenty-four months
without once lying down to sleep. This,
is regarded as want of confidence in
their keepers, coupled with longing
desire for liberty. While elephants
are at perfect ease and reconciled to
their fate, they will lie down on their
sides and sleep as all other beasts do.

FootGear and Gloves.

Woman is largely judged by her ex-

feet and hands, and SO she should have

says New York fashion writer. At no
time are her feet SO conspicuous as when
in evening attire, unless she happens to
be member Of the Rainy Day clrb.
Evening slippers are very smart at pres
ent Two general styl les prevail for house
and full dress wear--the single strap
or the double strap crossed and the
laced low shoes. Black satin slippers
deliberately embroidered in cut jet are
very swell and make even the clum-
siest foot look slim and dainty. Pos
SCISSORS of feet broader than or Ion
ger than four should, when possible,
stick to black evening slipper, for the
light colors make large feet look larger.
Silver and gold buckles, jeweled butter

The proper thing to wear with ball

for house wear again, and they are pret-

Region Where the Very Dust Is OF .
Cleansing Nature.
Fortunate islands, the ancients called
them. What measure of good fortune
they associated with cleanliness is in
deed uncertain. From the duration and
elaboration of their baths one might
presume that the Romans--not the holy,
but the pagan Romans-placed it at
least q degree above godlines3 Yet
some influence surely must have trav-
ersed the law Of heredity, for they
scarcely seem to have transmitted this
disposition to their posterity.

Origin of p stare stamp.

The incident which resulted in the in
vention Of the postage stamp was a
curious one.
A traveller journeying through the
north of England chanced to reach the
door Of an inn just as a postman stop
ped to deliver a letter. The young girl
for whom it was intended came out to
receive 1t. She turned it over and over
In her hands and asked the price of the
postage. The price demanded was a
shilling, and as the girl was poor she
returned it to the postman, saying that
it was from her brother, but that she
had not that amount of money. The
traveller, in spite Of her protest, paid
the money to the postman and handed
the letter to the girl. When the post
man departed the young girl admitted
that she and her brother had arranged
by certain marks upon the letter that
the other should know that the writer
was in good health and prospering.
eve are so poor" she added, "that
we were forced to invent this way Of
letting each other know Of our well
fare"
The traveller continued on his way
asking himself if system giving rise
TO such frauds was not a vicious one.
: The sun had not set before RolaI
Hill (such was the travellers name) had
plarned to organize the postal service
Oh new basis.
His views found favor with the Eng
lish Government, and on Jan. 10, 1910,
the first postage stamp was issued and
a postal system started by which not
more than a penny was paid for letters
which circulated over the whole. extent
of the British Isles. This bold scheme
surpassed the widest hopes Of the
legislators.
Ten years later, in 1850, the number
Of letters increased from 100000 to

wOMEN's ALLOWANCES.
A Much-Necded Little Lecture to the
Married Men.

Perhaps men think l am exaggera-
ting the evil. Perhaps they don't know
that the only advice married women
give to engaged girls, which never var
les. Is: BE sure you ask for an allow
vance from the first, because If you don't
you may never get It, suppose the
majority of men don't known that their
wives hate to ask them for money, says
the Woman's Home Companion. or
course, 1t doesn't seem so terrible to
those of us Whose fathers occasionally
want to keep back enough money to
buy coal, when our daughterly demands
get refused. But we never imagine
that girls over-husband-thls cour-
teons stranger whom she has loved and
married-should ever forget his theater
and American beauty days sufficiently
to say what did you do with that dol
lar gave you yesterday"
Now, frankly speaking. it never oc-
ours to unmarried girls that their hon
eymoon can ever wear off, We look
upon husbands as only married sweet
hearts. We sort of half way believe
them-at least we used to before we
observed other girls husbands-when
they tell US that they long for the time
when they can pay our bills and buy
our clothes for us. We never thought,
until we were told, that any little gen
erous arrangement which we expected
to last must be fixed during the first
a
weeks of marriage. / dare say most OF
us had planned to say, in answer to the
money question:: "Just as you like,
dear. I'D rather have you manage such
matters for me. You know SO much
more about them than do" 1t is a
horrible shock, from sentimental point
of view, to be told, to say: ''I'll take
an allowance, please" and then If two
amounts are mentioned to grab for the
biggest. Oh, it's shame. 1t is shame
to be told that we'll be sorry if we don't
and to know that we shall have no op-
portunitN to show how unselfish and
trusting we are.
1t is all your fault, you men, that you
don't think of these things more. You
might stop moment to consider that
1t is rather a delicate matter for wO-
man to ask money of a man. If your
wife is like most wives she is doing as
much to help you make your money
as you are. She is keeping you well
and happy and your home beautiful.
You couldn't keep your mind on busi-
ness an hour if she didn't. Therefore
she deserves every dollar which, after
discussing your future life together,
you feel that you can afford to give her.
She ought to be made to feel that she
has earned it and that she may spend
1T freely and happily or invest it just
as she may choose. Do you think that
you wouldn't get the whole Of it back
If you were i'll and needed it? 1t is an
ungracious thing to call her to account
FOR every dollar.

A WORD OF ADVICE
To Those Coming to Alaska or the
K1ondike Gold Fields.

To Those Coming to Alaska or the
K1ondike Gold Fields.
One thing should be impressed upon
every miner, prospector or trader COM
ing to Alaska, to the Klondike, or th 3
Yukon country, and that is the neces-
sity for providing an adequate and
proper food supply. Whether procured
in the States, in the Dominion, or at
the supply stores here or further on,
this must be his primary concern.
Upon the manner in which the miner
has observed or neglected this precau-
ton more than upon any other one
thing will his success or failure depend.
These supplies must be healthful and
should be concentrated, but the most
careful attention in the selection of
foods that will keep unimpaired in
definitely under all the conditions which
they will have to encounter is imperative.
For instance, as bread raised with bak-
ing powder must be relied upon for the
chief part of every meal, imagine the
helplo ssaess of miner with can Of
spoiled baking powder. Buy only the
very best -four; it is the cheapest in the
end. Experience has shown the Royal
Baking Powder to be the most reliable,
and the trading companies now uniform
ly supply this brand, as others will not
keep in this climate. Be sure that the
bacon is sweet, sound and thoroughly
cured. These are the absolute necessi-
ties upon which all must place chief
reliance, and can under no circumstan-
ces be neglected. They may, of course,
be supplemented by as many comforts
or delicacies as the prospector may be
able to pack or desire to pay for.-From
the Alaska Mining Journal.
A book of receipts for all kinds of
cookery, which is specially valuable for
use upon the trail or in the camp, is
published by the Royal Beking Powder
Company, of New York. The receipts
are thoroughly practical and the meth
DDS are carefully explained, SO that the
inexperienced may, with its aid readily
prepare everything requisite for good,
wholesome meal, or even dainties if he
has the necessary materials. The mat
ter is in compact though durable form,
the whole bookweighing but two ounces.
Under special arrangement, this book
will be sent free to miners or others who
may desire it. We would recommend
that every one going to the Klondike
procure copy. Address the Royal Bak-
ing Powder Co., New York.
