The MISTAKE of the Polar Rear.


Nordenslaiold found that the white
bears generally went through long
performance of stalking his sailors,
clearly on the mistaken conclusion that
they We're seals. AS the men were
clothed partly in sealskin. it was a very
natural mistake. But the interest of
the story lies in the generalization
made by the bear. The bear said:
There are two or three seals, one
standing up on its flippers in very
unusual way. will therefore stalk
them unseen as long as can and
when they see me pretend to be doing
something else"
So the men, with their guns and
lances, who wanted to shoot the bear
had the pleasure of seeing him careful
~ crawling behind rocks and ice hum
mocks. making long detours this way
and that and every now and then
clambering up rock and peeping eau
tlously over to see if the seals had
gone. On the open snow the bear
would saunter off in another direction
and then, falling flat, push himseh
along on his belly, with his great front
paws covering his black muzzle, the
only thing not matching the snow
about him. Just as the bear thought
he had got his "seaP' the latter fired
and shot him, a victim of false analogy.

THE WIDOW TAX.
In Mindanao a wife,s Death Costs
tine Widower One Hundred Plates.

In MindanaO d Wife's Death Costs
tine Widower One Hundred Plates.
Becoming widow or widower is a
much more serious business than get
ting married among some of the tribes
in the Philippines. In Mindanao mar
rying in haste" often leads to pro-
longed .repenting at leisure" for they
have an institution there known as the
''widow "chabaloan' the natives
call it. Upon the death of the wife the
widower must pay certain sum of
money or it's equivalent in goods to his
father-in-law before he can go a-court-
ing again. AS money is scarce article
among these natives, the tax generally
Is paid in plates Of common "stone Chi
na." which are much used by the ma
tives as medium ef exchange. 1t is
considered the proper thing for the be-
reaved one to pay 100 Of these plates to
his father-in-law for permission to look
about him for successor to the de-
ceased helpmste.
II the husband dies, the widow at
once becomes the property Of her par
ents-in-law and so remains for life TN
less some relative comes forward and
produces the necessary number Of din
ner plates. The natural result Of this
is that married people are all extreme
~ solicitous for the health of each 9TH
err. In sickness the invalid Is sedulous-
~ attended by the partner of his or
her joys and sorrows, the well person
perhaps being moved more by the
thought of those hundred plates than
by real affection.
Divorce is unknown among. these peo-
Pile, but man may have as many
wives as he pleases. 1t will be seen
that in case Of an epidemic which
would sweep away his wives married
man would be in dire extremity. In
the case of death of much married
man his parents come into q small for
tune. for they either have enough
slaves to render future work on their
part unnecessary or they receive enough
plates from the families Of The widows
to set up crockery store.

Norwegian Hotel Fire Escapes.
Nor do Norwegian hotels themselves

hour to see if the fire escape in my

DWARFlNG AN OAK TREE.
The Japanese Trick by which Ii Is
Accomplished.

The Japanese Trick by Which II liz
Accomplished.
The Chabo Hiba, a dwarf japanese
pine tree, was recently sold for $1,000
1t is six feet high and alleged to be $50
years old. 1t has long been supposed
that the process by which Japanese
gardeners succeeded in dwarfing forest
trees was long and costly one. 1t Is
now said that it is a simple process and
that any one can do the trick. The fol-
lowing directions are given for produc-
ing miniature oak tree:
Take an orange and scoop out the
pulp. Fill the interior with a rich mold
and plant an acorn in the center of it,
leaving the hole in the rind for it to
sprout through. Put it in sunny place
and water it frequently. Soon after
the first shoots have appeared the roots
begin to break through the orange skin.
Take sharp knife and shave these off
carefully and keep them shaved. The
tree will grow about five or six inches
high and then stop. In year it will
be perfect miniature oak. When the
roots cease to grow, the orange skin
should be vanished over and imbed-
ded in a fowerpot.
The Japanese dwarf all kinds of trees
and make them live to great age.
Some Of these dwarfs, like the Chabo
Hfba, are we'll known, and their own
ers have documentary evidence attest
ing their great age. The older they
are the more valuable, of course, they
are. In Japan certain families follow
the calling, trade, art, or what you will.
of growing dwarf trees from genera
ton to generation, and you can buy a
mfn1ature oak 500 years old from de-
scendant Of the man who first planted
the acorn. Not only forest trees, but
fruit trees and Towering shrubs, are
dwarfed by these clever gardeners.

EXPRESSIVE PHRASES.
Those Which Foreigners Coming to

Those Which Foreigners Coming to
America Learn to Use First.
What are the most expressive phrases
in colloquial English? OF the dozens
that slip off English speaking tongues
in the course of a day some must be
better suited for their purpose and
more characteristic of the race that
originated them than others. When
foreigners come to this country, they
catch certain expressions almost immG-
diately and long before. they can at
tempt to speak the language have
made them part Of their vocabulary.
1t would seem that these phrases must
be the most expressive in English and
that they are peculiar to the language
and Fill long felt want" since for-
eigners seize SO eagerly upon them.
Every man or woman who lands In
this country is saying, FURRY up" IN
two months. In whatever quarter Of
the city one may walk, Italian or Ger
man or Jewish, mothers will be dts

Ing their native speech, but closing
their orders with the magic Hurry
up" How delightfully."- characteristic
of the nation is the phrase! It is not
to be wondered at that the newcomers
from the slow moving old world find
that they have brought over nothing to
equal it.
"All right rivals hurry up" not
because foreign tongues lack similar
expressions, but because there is joI-
ly, hail fellow well met air about IAN
right lacking in other phrases Of the
same character. Then, too, "All right
takes the place not only of Good" hue
of Yes" and II understand" and of a
dozen other phrases which in other
languages require separate expressions.
The third phrase. which alone shares
the popularity Of the first two. is. -Its
nice" This should be interesting h
purists who wish to restrict mice" 10
Its first and original meaning Of '"eH-
act" No word of ancestry sufficiently
aristocratic to please them takes the
place of nice in it's colloquial mean
ing. and foreigners clasp it with joy,
wholly ignorant of the fact that they
are outraging the feelings of anybody
by so doing. Other phrases besides
Hurry up." "All right" and Its nice''

Married.

Mr.. Peter Juhl and Miss Sophia
Christensen were united in the holy
bonds of matrimony, Wednesday, at
the Martin Esbeck home west of
Brayton. Rev. Hald performed the
ceremony that will unite these two
lives into one for the many years to
come.
Mr.. Peter Juhl is young man OF
high and noble character, always do
ing those things that would cause his
neighbors and associates to see him in
higher and better light and trying
to make it pleasant for those he loved
and admired, never counting or con-
sidering the cost or sacrifice TO him
self, but laboring for the happiness
and welfare of those about him. He
is steady, Industrious hard worker
and has, by his own efforts, succeed
ed in accumulating quite an amount
of property, which is SO necessary in
the struggle against the Universities of
this life and will help to make his
home pleasant for the one he has ask
ed to share the common destinles of
life with him, whether it be for good
or evil.
Miss Sophia Christensen is young
lady, whose character is far above re-
proach and possesses those excellent
traits of character, which will help
her so much to make her home life
pleasant in after years. She, in her
childhood, learned the value of that
essential factor, which we find lack
ing in SO many girls of today, indus
try; and from early childhood she has
been willing worker, helping those
about her that would tend to make
them happy.
This worthy couple has the pest
wishes of a host of friends and assu-
ciates, who were present at the cere-
mony and listened to the solemn
words that bind them together for
eternity.
