Star, with Almont, Belmont, Ken.
 lucky Prince and Pilot, Jr. Mahogany
 Wilkes stands 164 hands high, weighs
 1900 pounds and was foaled in 1897.
 Mahogany's dam, Sandal, was the dam of four by different horses, Mahogany, 2.124; Ixia, 2.1S4: Magic Flute, 2.21a: Three Feathers, 2.27. It will be ob- served that the ancestors on the dam s side are producers of great speed. Mir Capewell also retains his valuable stal- lion, John Bascomb, favorably known to breeders. John Bascomb is a much faster horse than his record indicates. In June, 1897, at NewtOwn, Conn.,, he won race of half mile heats in 1. .1Ot, 1.1O and l.1O. He trotted with great ease, and could easily have been driven the halves two or three seconds faster. At the time, he was in the stud, being bred to one or two mares every day, and received no special preparation for this race. For his former owner, John Bascomb trotted trial mile in 2.22 and quarters in B seconds-a 2.15 gait. John Bascomb's record of 2.25 was in the mud.at Hornelsville, N. Y., October, 1892

It is a disease, the symptoms of a dangerous. unnatural state of the blood.

ESKIMOS QUICK TO LEARN.
Illustrated by the Experiences of 6 Teacher with the Cape Prince
 of Wales Natives.

After an experience of several months in teaching the natives of Cape Prince of Wales Mrs. Mary Bernardo says that in spite of the many diffi- culties encountered, she rather en- ioyed the novel experience of teach ing the young Eskimo idea how to shoot. Her school was at the village of Kingegan, and she had an enrolled att tendance of 147. The most distinc- tive feature in the Eskimo character, Mrs. Bernardt says, is a supera bum dant curiosity, reports an educational journal.
 The natives, especially those who have arrived at the age of "discretion," are of a prying, not to say enterprising, cast of mind and what they cannot un- derstand-and that would fill many volumes-they are inclined to look upon with suspicion and disdain. How ever, Mrs. Bernardt says that the younger people are anxious to learn; they are patient to a degree, and as rule are bright and quick to learn. The hardest task of the teacher, per- haps, is to teach them discipline; that is, they must be subject to certain rules of government. The younger can with practice be brought to see the necessity of this. but practically to try to subject the older pupils to any form of discipline is well nigh im- possible.
 Mrs. Bernardo, who is well known in Seattle, as well as Alaska, went to Cape Prince of Wales last October in the capacity of teacher. Of the 147 pupils one-third were over 21 years of age, and it was not at all times prim- rose path which she found while try- ing to enlighten their benighted minds. The younger children made steady progress. They learned to read and cipher with degree of rapidity and appreciated what was being done for them. They were taught many things unknown to Eskimo domestic econ omy, and were grateful.
 In winter the school was conducted in large igloo, roughly equipped as schoolroom, but with many school room accessories wanting. When the spring days came and the sun began te be felt the work was conducted on the sea beach where the sand made a floor and the blue canopy of heaven a cover
