A RACE OF DwARFs.
Peculiar People That Live at the
Eastern END OF the Pyrenees
Mountains.

Prof. Miguel Marazta has made what
seems curious anthropological discov-
erv in the valley of Rebas (Gerona), at
the end of the eastern Pyrenees. There
exists in this district a somewhat nu-
merous group of people, who are called
Nanos (dwarfs) by the other inhab-
itants, and, as a matter Of fact, are not
more than four feet ia height. Their
bodies are fairly well built, hands and
feet small, shoulders and hips broad,
making them appear more robust than
they really are. Their features are so
peculiar that there is no mistaling
them among others. All have red hair;
the face is as broad as long, with high
cheek bones, strongly developed jaws
and fat nose. The eyes are not horizon
tai, but somewhat oblique, like those Of
Tartars and Chinese. A few struggling
weak hairs are found in place of beard.
The skin is pale and fabby. Men and
women are so much alike that the sex
can only be told from the clothing.
Though the mouth is large the lips do
not quite cover the large, projecting
/ incisors. The Nanos, who are the butt
of the other inhabitants, live entirely
by themselves in Rebas. They inter
marry only among themselves, so thai
their peculiarities continue TO be re-
/ produced. Entirely without education
and without any chance of improving
their condition. they lead the life OF
pariahs. They know their own names
but rarely remember those of their par
ents, can hardly tell whore they live
and have no idea Of numbers.-Bir

THE IDEAL FATHER.
The one who Is the Counselor and
the Close COmrhde of
His Sons.

Writing of the ideal father and ideal
home-training, Frances Evans refers TO
tie home life of a well-known write.
who considers no affair Of greater inn
portance than the direction of his four
boys minds. His boys run in age from
ten to seventeen, but even the little lad
Of ten is admitted to the family talks,
which are teaching these boys to think
for themselves. Instead of telling the
children TO keep quiet at the dining
table, both parents, with wise kindness,
promote and direct the natural talka-
tiveness of youth into fruitful channels.
The father brings home the news of the
day, and each boy is encouraged to ex-
press himself on these current topics
when they dine at night, provided he is
willing to think about what he is say
ing, not deliver some careless, ignorant
opinion, then obstinately stick to it.
Argument Is encouraged, and frequent
" started by the father. Each boy may
give free rein to his opinion as long as
he keeps his temper and argues his
best. No slovenly habits of thought OF
expression are permitted in this fam
/ lily. The topic in hand may be anything
from football to the latest scientific
discovery. Ladies' Home Journal.

X Sad Fate.

A very distressing accdent which re- suited in the death of one man occur red some ii, le last winter in the waters of l}ehm Canal, between Yes Bay and Lpriny. The foreman of the Yes Bay cunnerN. Mr. Edson. left il watchman in charge of the plant when nc went below last October. On his return to the cannery in March. he was surpris- ed to find the place deserted: d thor ough search failing to throw any light on the whereabouts of the missing man. A trip to Loring revealed the fact that the watchman had been there on Oct. 29th.. and had started on the return trip to the cannery. Being unable to get any further information at Loring Mr. Edson returned to the cannery. but on the way discovered the boat in which the watchman had gone lylng on the beach. A further search resulted in the finding of the body short dis fance away in the water. Undoubted- ly, an accident result ed in the upset ting of the boat and drowning of the watchman. The name of the ill-fated man we ara unable to learn. He was given simple burial: but his friends, whoever they are, will probably never know his sad fate.

 It is not unlikely that after Dr.. Jack son gets started on his trip that charges will be preferred against him in Wash ington City. on the ground that he is not carrying out his official duties as Alaskan school superintendent. A strong effort will be made to get him out of the fat office he has held so long.
 \ charge is made by The Alaskan Miner at Juneau that Dr. Jackson $ chief interest in going to the Siberian coast is that he may gather up furs, bone and curios from his native agent and bring them back to civilization on the Government steamer. The Alaskan paper says he has done this before. and that he now has an enor- nous fortune, made in Alaska through advantages given him by his Cover ment position.
