An Eskimo ArroM.

few days ago very wild goose,
weighing sixteen pounds, was shot and
killed by hunter on the shores of
Lake Liberty, about twelve miles from
Spokane, Wash. The hunter was sur
prised to see a piece of polished ivory
protruding from the breast of the goose
about two inches. The flesh had
grown tightly around 1t and the wound
had entirely healed. 1t was a long,
sharp arrow point, about eight inches
long and as large as an ordinary lead
pencil. Delicate carvings were on the
ivory where 1t had been attached to
the arrow stick. Evidently the bird
had borne the arrowpoint from the far
arctic regions where it had been shot
by some Eskimo hunter. The goose
was fuil-grown male and had prob
ably received the wound a long time
ago.

Women in tho Public Service.

Germany seems to place a value on
the services of women different from
that which holds in France. In the
latter country orders have been issued
to cut down the number of women
employees in public service. especially
in the postal service, as rapidly as
possible, the reasons given being gen
eral incompetency, continual absence
on account of illness and similar
things. In Germany, on the contrary,
the authorities of the state railways
have announced that henceforth as
many women as possible will be en-
ployed in service, and that women in
the future will be eligible to posts at
the telegraph and ticket Offices in the
telephone offices and as clerks in the
counting offices and freight depart
ment. Prussia has for some years
favored the employment of women,
and this order will bring about like
conditions throughout the whole en-
pire.

William Knowles Bailey, heir of
Ponden hall. one of the most famous
estates in England. is now and has
been for years resident of the United
States. The solicitors of the estate
have but recently discovered him and

his nativity to take possession of his
property He left keighley, in York

count of a love affair and landed in
Philadelphia during the progress Of the
centennial exposition. Since then he
has been practically lost to his English
relatives.
Mr.. Bailey even after coming to the
United States forswore his allegiance
to Queen Victoria and became an
American citizen. He was living in
blissful unconsciousness that he was
the object of an earnest and untiring
search, the purpose of which was to
establish his right to inherit the estate
of Ponder hall and the equally famous
Stanbury moor.
The searcher was none other than
his own cousin, Anna Knowles Heaton.

He was a large man with large

was New Years eve, and he was
monopolizing at least one-third Of the
bar in a Sixth avenue drinking place
Over in one corner there was a feeble
gas stove. which a man was embracing
in futile effort to get warm. His
lips We're blue with the cold, and while
he rubbed his hands his eyes wander
ed from one to the other of the hag-
gard dishes on the free lunch counter
There were great many men in the
place. Suddeny the big man went into
action. From each of the many men
he demanded a dollar. No one stopped
to reason why. He was a large man
and his way was aggressive. When
he had received his toll from them all
he thrust his hand in his own pocket,
took the first bill his fingers touched
it was a ten-and, crumpling it in
with the others, approached the man
that was embracing the feeble stove.
Get out O. here he demanded, catch
ing him by the shoulders and showing
him toward the door. and take this

bills into the mans pocket. There was
a look of contentment on the faces of

They sought for pine land and miner

many hardships and privations and the
outlook for years was diScouraging ana
ready money was scarce and hard to
get, they have been richly rewarded
in the end. Mr.. Pagan is still in the

Mr.. Pagan says that he has struggled

only surviving relative, the playmate
of her childhood and the cousin in
whom she delighted as young wo-
man. She was fearful lest her famous
property that had descended from one
generation of the Heatons to another
for nearly 400 years would at her death
pass into the hands of strangers. Her
research was constant and faithful. At
regular stated intervals she sent her
letters out to America to the last
known address of the missing cousin.
AS regularly did they return.
Then, in depsair, she wrote to the
newspapers. Somehow or other Will
liam Bailey had disappeared and the
search dragged itself to the weary
length of nearly eighteen years. In
all that time William Bailey had never
written home. Finally Anna Heaton
gave it up in despair, settled herself in
the belief that her favorite cousin was
dead and ceased writing.
Last August Mr.. Bailey made up his
mind to take a journey. He would
visit England, seek out the old scenes
and find out whether he was alSae in
the world or whether time and Provi-
denCe had spared to him some of his
own lith and kin. He had no idea
that he would meet any of his own

She was an orphan and wealthy, but

always been of rank in his native

had been stored in nusty chest for

To his surprise he unfolded letter

written in his own peculiar handwrit-
ing. or seemed to have been written by
him. although the date was two gen.

ture of the surname, which was the
same as his own. was so markedly

During the last few days there has
been a meeting of unusual interest in

men, and when they appeared on the

them with special interest. and some
body would be heard to Say: There go

The Shen Pao, Chinese journal,
laments the fact that the Chinese peo-
pie are not as ready as people in the
West to lend money to The govern
ment. In China the rulers look upon
the empire as family to be admins
tered for their private advantage In
Western lands the people are the king
dom and the rulers act according to
that principle.
For example, If a wealthy land owner
wishes to borrow money and applies to
his children and servants they are all
willing to help him according to their
ability, for they know the land owner
has property enough to make repay
ment sure. Now, the emperor is the
father and mother Of his people. Why
can not he, on the same principle.
borrow money from his people2 1t
must be because they do not trust him
All foreign countries have national
debts, which they owe to their own
people chiefly and only to other coun-
tries in smaller degree. The govern
ments have no difficulty in floating
loans, which are at once covered by
their own people, who have such con-
fidence in their governments that they
tSAiN AioISS freely. mere is
trust and love between upper and lower
classes. Even if the time for repay
ment is hundreds Of years off they
do not mind, for they know they will
get their interest as long as the king
dom lasts.
How different 1t is in China. The
people will not lend their money to the
state, and no promise will move them.
The curious thing is that the bigger
the national debt of these foreign coun-
tries the more prosperous is the coun-
try. Thus. Japan is an instance in
point. This is because the money was
borrowed for the benefit of the people,
that railways. etc, might be built. In
asmuch as much money has been
loaned to Japan by other states these
are unwilling to injure her by going
to war with her. Now, Turkey Is load
ed with debt and seems an exception
to the rule above enumerated. But she
only proves the rule. Why Is she so
poor? Because she borrowed money
and wasted it. She did not use 1t to
build public works. which would bring
in vast profits. If China borrows for
right uses national debt need be no
hindrance to her prosperity; nay, it
may be an indispensable help on the
path of progress.
