Counterfeits appeared as early as 1916
when the Russian explorer, Kuskoff, or
dered made and sent him a certain pat
tern of glass beads TO trade with wild
tribes in New Albion. A number of these
beads were exhumed from a very old
grave not long ago, and proved to be good
limitations both in form and color, but quite
lacking in luster.
Counterfefting Punished.
1t is recorded that the wild tribes soon
detected the cheat and cast them out with
adherence. Tradition confirms the record
with added details Of how three Russian
traders of charlil koI devils beads) were
taken unawares and their heads burned
with the beads.
Visitors at the rancheria cannot fail to
note the number of coiners at work. and,
knowing that wampum has no favor with
the grocer often ask why 50 much labor
Is spent on a money that will not buy.
NO.. 1t does not directly buy any more
than our dollar would in some ultra-for-
eign shop. 1t must be exchanged first and
the coin of that country proffered instead.
So with the Pomo. When in need of a
commodity and short of cash he takes a
string of ka yah to his neighbor and ex-
changes 10 pieces for a silver dollar, or
SO poh for s. cash. He Is content, while
the neighbor makes a good brokerage on
the transaction. Pomo wampum appre-
ciates with distance from it's makers; in
fact. is at a handsome premium in the Sac
ramento valley and in other distant
rancherias.

ENGLIsHMAN OF ROMANCE.
Sir Edwin Arnold's Life In the Flow.
cry Kingdom.

Sir Edwin Arnold's Life In the Flow
cry Kingdom.
From the Philadelphia Record.
Sir Edwin Arnold, who legalized his union
with a fascinating japanese widow by an
English marriage service In London recent
ly, was always cosmopolitan in his ideas
Surely no Englishman born and bred has
ever succeeded in merging his own individ-
uality into that of other peoples as the
author Of 1.-THE Light of ASIA and 1.-The
Light of the World has done. When he
was in India in his young days his work
showed his intense sympathy with the Bud
dhists, and in the preface to 1.-The Light of
Asia he wrote: This book was written
by one who loved India and the Indian
people,
For two scores Of years he was English
to the core Of his heart in the editorials he
wrote for the London Telegraph, and in
1890 he came to America, seemed quite able
to understand US (as few Of his country
men could do). and then he went on to
Japan and Immediately began to live la
Japanais.
He lived in native house. left his shoes
at his door, slept on a thick quilt and, they
say, ate in true Japanese style. In his bed
room he had cheap European washstand
two japanese chests of drawers of white
wood and black iron work, and the usual
sliding cupboards, into which his bed was
put when 1t was rolled up in the daytime.
The walls Of the room were of tissue
paper panels powdered with silver maple
leaves. and a clear glass belt ran around
the room "at a height inconducive to pro-
priety," as one correspondent Of the day
remarked.
The drawing room was glass paneled from
door to ceiling, and the only thing in the
whole house that limited at other civ1iiza-
tions was an American stove, which stood
in one Of the corners.
With such surroundings it is not much
wonder that the impressionable poet found
himself going through the ceremony of tea
drinking with his charming companion of
the hour, and that he was content to ac-
cept the ceremony as a bona fide marriage
is tribute to his kinship with genius that
since the world began has ever Haunted a
little the staid laws and regulations that
ordinarily folks find necessary to comfort
able existence
1t was in Japan, by the way, that S.r
Edwin began THE Light of the World,
and, indeed, completed it, too, during his
stay of several years.

From the beginning the Nile was an ex-
cepuonal river. Its sources were unknown
There were those who thought that the
Nile flowed down from heaven: that 1t
welled up from streams that disappeared
under the earth on another continent, or,
at the very least. that it's springs were in
accessible to man. There was no such
mystery about the Euphrates. From the
remotest times its sources seem to have
been known by hearsay, IL not by obser-
walton, to the jewellers on the coast The
Nile was beneficent even in it's floods The
people learned to let the waters flow over
their lands at the time of the inundation
and when they raised bikes and sunk
canals and basins it was to let in the wa
ter, not to keep it out. The Euphrates
also had its foods but these were de-
structive. They SCARED the soft earth
with ravines and swept the fertile soil on
ward to build new lands along the edge of
the Persian gulf. The people anticipated
the overflow with dread, and their most
absorbing task was to restrain the river
within bounds. They became more init
mate with the earth than their Egyptian
contemporaries. They learned how to mold
the clay and to make their houses and the
houses of their kings and their gods out
OF the material under their feet. The
Egyptians learned something about brick
manufacture, but they had no need to de-
pend wholly upon that sort of building ma
terial. 1t was easy for them to obtain
stones, as their huge piles attest.

The Wind.

Edward W. Dutcher in Pail Mall Magazine.
Out from ina caves I spring at morn,
Freed from my thrall at last:
With an angry roar and cry Of scOrn.
A challenge blow my brazen horn,
With fierce and defiant blast.
The ships at my easy prey,
And drive them before my breath
Through the midnight gloom till the break Of day
Out from the hold of the sheltering bay,
To whirl In waltz with death.
The sturdy oak of a hundred years
Like reed l twirl and break,
Then rush away with thousand cheers,
Nor heed the cry that is wrought in tears
For the havoc my legions make.
No human hand can compel to rest
My steed untrammeled and Wild,
But voice comes to me out of the west.
And ruffe the down en- the sparrow's breast
And kiss the lips of child!

The Filthy Condition Of the Streets
of Seoul.
From Mrs Birds "Corea and Her Neighbors''
I know Seoul by day and night, its PAL
aces and its slums, its unspeakable mean
ness and faded splendors. its purposeless
crowds, Its medieval professions, which for
barbaric splendor cannot be matched on
earth, the filth Of its crowded alleys, and
its pitiful attempt to retain it's manners,
customs and identity as the capital OF an
ancient monarchy in the face Of the host
Of disintegrating influences which are at
work; but 1t is not at first that lone takes
it in" I had known 1t for a year be-
fore appreciated 1t, or fully realized that
it is entitled to be regarded as one OF the
great capitals Of the world. Look

which is discerned in the most cutlandish
places. climbing Nam-San In one direction
and going clear over the crest of Puk- han

and a vacant plain there, descending into
ravines, disappearing and reappearing
when least expected. This wall. which
contrives to look nearly as solid as the hill
sides which it climbs, is from 25 feet to 40
feet in height and fourteen miles in cir

length, and pierced by eight gateways

From the Atlanta Constitution.
Some time ago a gentleman of literary
tastes, who subscribes for all the best
magazines, read a poem In his favorite
periodical-read and re-read II. but failed
to grasp its meaning. He was persuaded.
however, that 1t had a meaning of its own:
or 1t would not have appeared In a period
fcal enjoying a reputation a judge Of
good literature. He. therefore. submitted
It to a critic who made a specially Of that
kind of work, but the latter returned 1t
with the Endorsement:
You're too much for me this time! I
sat up with it three nights, but I'm not In
good health, and can't lose any more sleep
over it."
This was discouragfng, but, stiIl CON,
he wrote a friendly letter to the editor,
by explaining the poem.
Several weeks elapsed before he received
the following letter from the editor-in-
chief:

A London Doctors Peculiar Experi-
ence With q Patent.
From the London Mail.
DR.. William O'Neill, late physician to
several Lincoln Institutions, sends the fol-
lowing account of a strange experience to
the Lancet. 1t describes a case of that
very old and commonplace complaint
jealousy, or spirit of jealousy" as it is
named in the Scriptures, where it Is fully
described and treated.
Some years ago, he states, I was re-
auested to visit lady who. 1t was repre-
scented to me, was very Ill and required
Immediate attention. On entering the
house I was shown into the so-called sick
room, In which there were three persons,
all of whom seemed to me to be in good
health. There were present an old lady
(owner of the house) and her daughter
who had arrived few days previously
from neighborfng county to spend two
or three weeks with her mother, and the
daughters husband, whose visit was only
to be for a day or two.
The man was about thirty-ffve years
OF age, small in stature, swarthy in
complexion and plain looking. The wife
was striking contrast to her husband.
She was rather tall, remarkably fair and
handsome and was q few years younger
than her good man. I asked which of
them was the patient, but no answer hav-
ing been given to my inquiry. I asked
again. Then the younger lady, with some
hesitation, said:
Il am the patient. and my complaint is
jealousy. I am jealous of my husband,
and II you do not give me something to re-
heve me shall go out OF my mind"
This accusation against the little man
seemed to me to be most ridiculous; tn
deed, could not help thinking that II the
accuser had been the accused it would
have been more In the nature Of things. /
assured the lady was extremely sorry for
her, the more SO that I was quite incompe-
tent to treat such q case. The husband
protested his innocence and declared there
WAS no cause whatever for her accusations.
The wife persisted Ia neiterating them,
and 20 the wrangie went on TN suddenly

she would culver all over. while her eye
lids trembled with great rapidity. This
state perhaps would he followed by gen.
eral convulsfve movements. In which she
would put herself in the most grotesque
Pastures and make the most unlovely
grimaces.
At last the fit ended. and exhausted and
In tears. she was put to bed.
The patient was a 1.-The muscular wo-
man. and to restrain her movements dur
ing the attack with the assistance at
hand was a matter of impossibiity: so all
that could be done was to prevent her in
juring herself and to sprinkle her freely
with cold water.
The after treatment was more geographic
cal than medical. The husband ceased do
ing business in a certain town where the
object Of his wife's suspicious lived. He
was enabled to do so by the kindness OF
a friend. who exchanged part of his dis
trict with him.
The fit was not the disease, but II was
the symptom or manifestation of a mind
diseased or deranged. the state of the mind
being the result of q woman's broodinss
over her real or imaginary wrongs.

The Derelict.


! was the stanchest of our fleet
TIL the sea rose beneath our feet
Unheralded in hatred past all measure:
Into his pits he stamped my crew,
Buneted, blinded bound and threw,
Bidding me eyeless wait upon his pleasure.
Man made me, and my will
Is to my maker STILL
Whom now the currents con, the rollers steer
Lifting-fOrlorn to spy
Trailed smoke along the sky;
Falling-afraid, lest any keel come neari
Blind In the hot blue ring,
Through all my points 1 swing
Swing, and -eturn to shift the sun anew.
Blind In my well-known sky,
hear the stars go by
Mocking the PROV that cannot hold one truef

My race against the sun,
Strength on the deep, am bawd to all disaster
Whipped forth by night to meet
My sisters careless feet,
And with kiss betray her to her master!

Roadside Tree Planting.

The planting Of trees and hedges along
country roads should be encouraged. Shade
prevents rapid drying Of macadam, and
hedges break the force Of the winds which
on unprotected highways blow the dust
away. leave the stone foundations ex-
posed. This point is urged at length In q
road article by Colonel A. A. Pope in the
Outlook. 1t is a mistake to assume that
dust Is detrimental to wheeling. On the
contrary. it Is essential to the preserva-
ton OF the road, and should, IL possible,
be kept on the highway, as a shower win
convert it into binding material. Trees
and hedges cost little, and money expend-
ed In this way will be Offset by decreased
repairs. This Is only unitarian side OF
the question. The attractiveness of the
country is enhanced by trees and shrubs.
A farming country without shade Is not
inviting, and whatever improves the roads
and adds to the beauty OF rural scenery Is
worthy of encouragement. The sugKes-
ton is deserving of consideration by town
councils. because It Is suggestive OF de-
creased cost in road maintenance ana
higher values Of property. The city man
looking for q summef hume i'd the conn
try 10 certain to note the difference b.
tween farm bordered BY trees and one
that is barren OF shade. II Is not dlfRcult
to predict which via be his choice.

Isn't It Awful.

From the Toronto Globe, =
There is n little maiden
Who has an awful time;
She has to hurry hwfully
To get to school at nine.
She has an awful teacher;
Her tasks are awful hard;
Her playmates are iall awful rough
When playing in.!t the yard.
She has an awful Fifty
Who often shows her claws;
A dog who jumps, Upon her dress
With awful muddy paws.
4 She has LADY sister
With an awful little nose,
With awful cunning dimp1es,

With their awful drums and trumpetst
And make an awful noise.
