South India are certainly ignorant of
any method of producing of them

appear to practice the swallowing OF

Mr.. Smeltzer that their bill was $500

which would show that they had been
paid. Mr.. Smeltzer affixed his John

of course, they will not do unless some

the control of the state is over. and
many politicians are asking what
place will men like Bird S. Coler, the
comptroller of New York city, oc-
cupy when the election is over.
1t is a problem that may be worth
the attention of politicians in both
parties.
For a presidential year think the
vote will be light. I have watched
elections here from the Garfield cam
paign down, and never yet in a presi-
dental year, only a little over a
month from the voting, has there
been so much apathy among men on
both sides of the political fence. 1t is
simply impossible for the spellbnd-
ers to wake much enthusiasm, and
the money gifts to the treasures of
the two parties are not fat.
But perhaps the atmosphere will
warm up within the month.

casion, there were exactly two anna

to make a show, an eXpedient which
would fill an English huntsman with
horror.

number of local hunts that are now
fiourishing. Not to speak of the south
ern packs. there are the famous Mead
owbrook hounds on Long Island, the
lev hunt. The latter is the parent of
all hunting in the north. 1t has been
kept up on the yastestate of the Wads-
worths for more than generation,
long before fashion in New York and
Boston followed suit.
The Wadsworth hunt is more like
its English models than any other in

EDUCATION IN ALASKA
Uncle Sam Looks After His Children In That
Frozen Country.

Comparatively few Americans are
aware of the efforts, and fewer still
with the results of the efforts, made by
tie Government of the United States
to impart to our vast Arctic territory
the unspeakable benefits of education.
TIE work of educating the natives of
Alaska rests entirely in charge of the
United States Bureau of Education at
Washington. The territorial authorl-
ties ard the missionaries are bound to
follow the methods planned at the Ma
tiC.al capital. This planning has, so
far, been attended with happy results
The natives are, under it's wise and
f.r-seeing provisions, advancing to-
ward civilization guaranteeing them
happiness and even prosperity.
The American plan of education has
aimed at the preparation of the ma
tiVes to take up the manner of living
ard the industrial occupations of the
oder portions of the country. 1t also
encourages the accomplishment of an
cient tribal customs. The system up
to this time in use embraces element
ary English branches, careful training
in cooking, housekeeping and clothes
making, besides practical instruction
in carpentering, blacksmithing and
shoemaking. Our educatprs have reas-
onably assumed that if' the Alaskan
natives could be taught English,
brought under Christian influences
and benefited by training in suitable
industries, the incoming immigrants
from the States might employ them in
mining and in the production, as well
as transportation, of food and other
merchandise.

cd object in view has been the edu-
c.. IN of the natives in thrift, to insure
,he preservation and accumulation of
t, reindeer, of which they are given
{. rrge.
