sat down to dine. 1t was real lit
tie girls dinner, and the little hostess
herself presided. sitting at the head of
the table. She had been very anxious,
in looking forward to 1t, to do every
thing as 1t should be done.
Mamma" she asked, shall we say
grace?"
NO" said mamma, 1T will be very
informal dinner, and think you need
not do that"
That meant one less ceremony to be
gone through and was n relief, but the
little lady was anxious to have all her
small guests understand it. So, as they
were gathered about the table, she ex-
planned:

Thomas Arnold. Jr.. was at Rugby
when Thomas Hughes, the Tom Brown
of the school life, was pupil there,
and in Passages in Wandering
Life" gives his recollections of the
boys hero.
Tom Hughes at fifteen was tall FOR
his age; his long, thin face his sandy
hair, his length of limb and his spare
frame gave him lankiness of aspect
which was the cause, suppose, of the
boys giving him the extraordinary
nickname of "eXecutioner."
No name could be less appropriate,
for there was nothing inhuman or mo.
rose or surly in his looks, and still less
in his disposition; the temper of bully
was utterly alien from him. and he was
always cheerful and gay.
He was one of the best runners in
the school, and many time have l
seen him in the quadrangle Just before
"hare and hounds"-he being one of the
hares-lightly clad, and with a bag of
"scent" strapped around him.
He was too keen-eyed and observant
to be specially popular. but all the
small boys liked him because he was
kind and friendly to them. He reach
ed the sixth form, but left before he
had risen high in it, feeling, no doubt,
that his work lay elsewhere

has pronounced literary bent. She
is an omnivorous reader, an accom-.

Several years ago she published vol

among her friends. She is posted in
politics, and keeps up with the news
papers and periodicals dealing with
matters of current public interest as
well as her husband does. She is not
athletic although she rides horse
well.
She has little taste for club life and
the Daughters of the American Revo-
luton besought her in vain to be a can

order.
Mrs. Roosevelt is not handsome, but
she is attractive. Her manner Is un-
affectedly cordial and winning. She
has nice brown eyes, and she wears
her brown hair parted and carried back
loosely from her temples. She dresses
with a simplicity that is becoming.
Her street frocks especially border on

National optimism and local pride
give buoyant tone to most of our
government reports, but the man who
told the director of the census about
the agriculture of Alaska had no use
for the "hewgag." Circumstances were
too much for him, and in the low tenn
perature of the most depressing and
Incorporating facts he made this
confession: 1.-THE tabulated returns in
dictate that the farming industry is in
significant, being a subsidiary pursuit"
Lest this surrender should seem cow
ardly, abject and un-American, we
shall do the official Justice by present.
Ing n few Alaskan statistics. The ter
ritory, whose area exceeds half mil
lion square miles, contains IL farms,
with total of 159 acres. Its farm
live stock consisted last year of 10
dairy cows, 4 oxen, bull, 5 horses, 10
swine and i76 chickens. This stock
was valued Mt S2,196, there was $500
capital fixed in implements and ma
chinery and S12,S0O represented the
value of buildings and other Improve
ments. In order to prepare the soil of
Alaska for cultivation $120 is some
times spent on a single acre. Five of
the farms have less than three acres,
three have between three and ten acres
and four between 20 and so. Their re-
turns aggregated Ss,046 for the year
ending Dec. 30, 1890, $5,565 being cred
tied to vegetables, $40 to chickens,
$500 to eggs, $50 to calves, 1914 to
milk and SIS to butter. The report gets
n spark of encouragement from poul-
try, which 1t says is the most profitable
branch of Alaskan agriculture from the
standpoint Of income upon capital in
vested Eggs found ready market

while the average amount received
from fowls was $1.01 EACH" The eli
mate absolutely forbids the raising Of
cereals. but Is favorable to the rapid
growth and early maturity Of vegeta-
bles, which are cultivated in consider
able quantities by the Indians as well
as by the ~ farmers. The Indians also
do something at stock raising, but one

1t is curious thing that inventive
genius, applied to war, steadily en-
hances the efficiency of defense by sea
and land. The perfection of explosives
continually lags behind the resistance
of armor. The increasing power of the
defense to resist attack is one of the
most powerful operating forces in in
ternational politics to-day. Coupled
with the financial perils attendant on
prolonged contests, it fortihes the peace
of Europe behind almost insurmount-
able barriers.
