Accosted by a Pigeon.

The homing pigeon has proved that
locality is a faculty fully developed in
the birds little brain, but a writer in
the Boston Herald gives an instance of
memory that was most touching
A lady living in the top story of
Boston skyscraper, had been in the
habit Of feeding the pigeons and spar
rows who flew to the little balcony be-
fore her window, and had succeeded in
tanning some of her pensioners, one or
two pigeons even eating out of her
hand.
One day, while passing along Park
Street, this lady was surprised to see
a pigeon f1utter away from some COM
panions strutting in the middle of the
road, and come upon the sidewalk,
where it almost tripped her up in it's
efforts to attract her attention.
1t huttered around her, evincing
every sign of pleasure and recognition,
and when she called it by name, the
little creature fairly flew at her.
Now, in the midst of all that passing
throng the pigeon knew its benefactor,
who, with tears in her eyes, says its
recognition gave her more joy than If
the queen had saluted her. /.

No Longer a Mining City.

A very interesting report upon the
conditions in Dawson City and the
Yukon district of Alaska has been fur
nished the State Department by United
States Consul McCook at Dawson City.
Dawson City," he says, presents
marked contrast to the Dawson of
1898. Then no one, except possibly the
judges on the bench, wore a white
shirt. The town was thronged with
miners, pack on back, prospecting for
gold. The streets were veritable mud
holes. Now people dress much as they
do in the cities of the United States
a man with a pack on his back is an
unusual sight, and you can walk the
town over with polished shoes and not
have them soiled.
ITO one just coming in Dawson pre-
sents no appearance of a mining town,
but seems a thriving commercial cen
ter, with rows of splendidly equipped
stores, substantial wharves and ware
houses, good hotels and streets lighted
with electricity. Electric railroads are
promised by New Years. There are
fewer houses in Dawson for rent at
the present time than since it was a
tented field, Notwithstanding the fact
that over 100000 has been spent this
year in new buildings. Many new
homes are being built-good, substan-
tial frame buildings. Public schools
have been opened and are we'll attend

France a Loser in War Indemnitles.
Of nations engaged in wars of the
first magnitude France has been both
a gamer and a loser in the matter of
indemnities. Having, by the treaty Of
Presburg in 1905, mulcted Austria of
$9,OOO,OOO and $4,000 square miles of
territory, she was in 1914 compelled
to satisfy the allied powers by none
tary compensation of $140,OOOOOO and
to suffer the partition of the greater
part Of her colonial possessions, as well
as the severe contraction of her Euro
pean boundaries. Again, in 1870, after
her war with Germany, she was en-
abled to display her marvellous finan-
cial resources by the speedy payment
of the huge sum Of $1,000,O00,0 900, in
addition to the loss of 5,668 square

HUNTER HAD GREAT NERVE.
Dying Man Held to Life Till His Wife
Came to His Camp.

Oame TO his camp
The recent death of J.-H. Benham, of
California, illustrates the wonderful
nerve Of strong men under the most
adverse conditions. Benham and three
companions had gone into the noun
tains for a few days hunting. They
had climbed mountains and crossed
canyons and finally made their camp
on Eel River. On Monday afternoon,
while high up a mountain, Benham's
hounds started fine buck. The hunt
err braced himself against a bush and
was about to fire at the deer when the
bush gave way and allowed him to slide
down the incline about 12O yards. In
falling Benham's rifle was discharged,
the ball passing into his abdomen and
coming out at his right shoulder
Wounded though he was he managed
to crawl back up the incline, where he
shouted for help.
No one heard his cries, and he then
was empty. One of his companions
came to his assistance. The wounded
man requested his friend to send for
his wife, realizing all the time that his
wound was fatal The friend went back
to camp and secured three mules, with
which he returned to the scene of the
tragedy.
; Without help of any sort Benham
rode one of the mules back to camp, a
distance of hal ia mile. Another of the
party then started for the nearest town
for medical help and to telephone for
Mrs. Benham. The messenger Travelled
in an hour and twenty minutes trail
which it had taken the hunters seven
hours to travel when they were on their
way to their camp. A physician and
Mrs. Benham reached the camp at 3
o'clock in the morning, but nothing
could be done for the dying man. At 10
o'clock that morning the party started
for home, eighteen miles away. The
wounded man was carried on a litter
the entire distance, the members of the
party taking turns at carrying it.
They arrived at home at 10 o'clock at
night, the wounded man retaining con-
seriousness throughout the long jour-
ney. He knew that his death was a
question of only a few hours, but he
never lost his courage. He died at 8
o'clock next morning

MOUNTAIN AIR.
Why 1t Is More HenIthful Than That
of Lower Attitudes.


The only reason why mountain air
is healthier than low air is that noun
tain air is cleaner than low air. The
chemical composition of the atmos-
phere differs but little. if at all, wher-
ever the sample be taken. On Pixies
peak the relation of oxygen to nitro
gen and other constituents of the at
mosphere is the same as at the level
of the ocean. The favorable effects
therefore of change of air are not to
be explained by any difference in the
proportion of its gaseous constituents.
One important difference. however, is
she meteorological one. The air of
adgh attitudes contains no microbes
and is, in fact, sterile, while near the
ground and some 100 feet above it
microbes are abundant.
In the air of Chicago and other
crowded places not only does the mi
crobe impurity increase, but other i'm
putities, such as the products of COM
bustion of coal. accrue also. Several
investigators have found traces of by
Gai.ogen and certain hydrocarbons in
the air. and especially in the air of pine,
etak and birch forests. 1t is to those
lSadies. doubtless consisting of traces
OF essential oils, to which the curative
el fects of certain health resorts are
as, :ribed. Thus the locality of fl
for est is said to give relief in diseases
of the respiratory tract. But all the
same, these traces of essential oils and
aromatic products must be counted,
strictly speaking. as impurities. since
they are not apparently necessary con
stituentss OF the air. AS recent analy-
ses have'A stown. these bodies tend &c

A Strange Custom.
How Centuries ago, st. Vitus' Dance
Derived its Name-The Old and New
Way of Treating this Disease.


Derived it's Name-The Old and New
Way of Treating this Disease.
From Republican Traveller, arkansas City, Kan.
Centuries ago it was believed that by
a pilgrimage to some shrine of st. vi
uncomfortable muscular movements
could be cured, and that is how this
disease, which usually affects children
between five and fifteen years old,
came to be called st. Vitus' dance.
The modern way to successfully treat
this disease is within reach of every
household, as shown in the following
experience of Karl A. Wagner, the
eleven-year-old son of George Wagner,
515 9th St., Arkansas City, Kansas.
"Over year ago." says Mr.. Wagner,
my son began to have twitching in
his right side, which rapidly became
worse. We called in our family phys1-
clan, and he told us that Karl had
St. Vitus' dance. For over five months
he was under the doctors care, and
instead of getting better he continued
to fail
At last he became so bad that when
sitting at the table to his meals we
had to strap his right arm to his side
to keep him from knocking the dishes
off the table. His tongue became so
paralyzed that he could talk only in
gutterals. We could not understand
a word he said. His right leg hung
limp and could be pushed back and
forth as if hung on swivel He be-
came very thin.
eve had fully made up our minds
that the disease could not be cured, and
if Karl lived any length of time he
would become an invalid.
eve had about given up all hope,
When one day lady said to my wife

Pills for Pale People, they will cure

years old, who has been afflicted in the
same way, and the pills cured her.

and cannot help but feel that DR.

How Machinery NIultiplies Power.

1IOVI NIdCIIIHVTy HIIIIpIItS FOW6r-
The report of United States Commits
sioner of Labor Carroll D. Wright for
1899 on Hand and Machine Labor
sets forth some very interesting facts.
Aided by machinery, 100000 men
turn out a product which would re-
quire the labor of 100000 men if
produced by hand. In America the ad-
vantage derived from machinery is
about twice as great as in Europe, so
that the actual population of the Uni
ted States is equal in productive power
to 150,OOO,00O Europeans. With labor
saving machinery, one generation of
men can do the work of four or five
generations of hand-workers.
