The Suburban Home.

The suburban house expresses free
dom from restraint; it is the home Of
children; it means purer air; it means
more room to move around in; it means
gardens, and it implies social life
which years of city living may never
engender. These are matters of first
Importance, and when to them is added
the material advantage of lower rents
the superiority of the suburban house
over the city dwelling is established.
There are long rides by trolley or
train; there is the necessity of keeping
early hours; there are difficulties with
limited grocery, butcher and bakery
service; there are other practical draw
backs. But over and beyond these is
the abiding space of freedom of move
ment, of ample air and sunlight, Of a
place to live in.
And that is exactly what house Is
for. 1t is neither to look at nor to
serve as an ornament to highway.
That it should be ornamental and
should be viewed with interest are
matters of course that are extremely
desirable, but after all it is the house
within that counts; that makes sub
urban life bearable, adds to its joys,
increases it's advantages. cements its
superiority to every other sort Of liv-
ing unless it be the country life pure
and undefiled.-House Beautiful.

A Marvellous Memory,

Cardinal Mezzofanti was possessed
of very wonderful memory, which he
applied to the learning Of great num-
Der Of languages. Lord Byron de-
scribed him as "a walking polyglot, a
monster Of languages and Briareus
Of parts Of speech" He could learn a
new language in the course Of three
weeks on occasion SO as to be able to
talk fuently with those whose tongue
it was. At the age Of f1fty-four Mezzo-
fant knew fifty languages. Before his
death he is said to have known seven
ty or eighty. More Of these were Eu-
ropean than most people would mag
Inc to be the case. For instance, Wal
lachian, Illyrian, the Romani Of the
Alps, Lettish and Lappish figured
among the twenties in his list, for the
remainder Of which he went to other
continents. Mezzofantis system of
learning languages was simple enough
where books were available. He read
the grammar through, after which he
was it's master, for he never forgot
what he had read. Many of his Ian
guages were learned from prisoners
whom he visited in their affection.

The Sight of Reea.


A bee has three small, simple eyes,
placed in a triangle at the top of the
head, at the sides of which are a pair
Of very large compound eyes. 1t is
generally thought that the former serve
for near vision and the latter for seeing
things at a distance. Various expert
ments and calculations have been made
to determine the range of the COM
pound eyes, but as they are very differ
ent in structure from our own it is diff
cult to come to any certain conclusions.
Claparede states that at a distance
Of twenty feet an ordinary hive bee is
unable to see anything that is not at
least eight or nine inches across, but
Lowne is of opinion that objects Of
from half an inch to an inch in dame
ter can be distinguished at that dis
tance. If he is correct it follows that
large objects might be discerned when
as much as hundred feet away.
That bees fly straight to their hives
or nests from long distances probably
does not imply keen sight, for we
know that many Of the lower animals
are endowed with a sense of direction
far more acute than anything of the
kind which we possess.

A Chinaman,s Pocket.

A Chinaman's pocket is more diff
cult of access than the proverbial pock-
ct of our grapdmothers. which furnish
ed the theme of many ancient jests.
On occasion Cinnamon produce. They
buy for ready cash. Money comes from
them at remote intervals. but FROM
what exact locality no Caucasian has
been able to ascertain. Each Chink is
a sort of prestidigitator. He contracts
to purchase a thing. and. presto! there
is the money on the counter. There is
no delving in the depths Of coat or
trousers, as with the white man. The
coin materializes. as it were. from be-
fore your eyes. Enterprising highway
men have held up Cinnamon and dis
sected them. but discovered no pockets
Where does the heather carry his

It is easy to hold up a Chinaman. but

AKKAYAK'S
BACKSLIDING
Bv ROSE HUGHES LEECH
Copyright, 1908, by T. C. McCgare

Akkayak pushed his kyak out into
the blue waters of GRAVITY harbor and,
following the golden track Of sunlight
on it's breast. headed for the Nook, the
tiny Eskimo village across the bay. A
wild duck rose from the water and cir
cled daringly above his head with q
defiant scream. noting no move of the
Eskimo toward the gun ut his side.
For Akkayak'S thoughts were not

his kyak With even strokes toward the
north. bit only Of Iwnnna. the daugh-
ter of Stony Tom. the prettiest Eskimo
maiden ut the Nook and the torment of
Akkayak's life. For .Akkayak was a Sc
rious minded and Industrious individ-
ual and had. moreover, deep religious
convictions implanted in his breast by
long training at the missiOnary's
school. He went about the woOing Of
Iwonna in the same sad and fervent
way that he said his prayers. with the
result that the maiden scorned him
openly, much to the edification Of
Spoon. who had of late chosen to pass
his idle moments-and most of Spoons
moments were idle-around the eglow
Of Stony Tom.
If only he-Akkayak-had not been a
Christian! Matters could have been
easily adjusted then and Spoon wiped
from the face of the earth. But Of
course this could not be. Akkayak

mo, but he did not want it served on a
fork in allopathic doses, and the mis-
sionary had assured him that murder
ers had to take it that way after they
crossed the great divide.
But have Iwonna he would despite
all the Spoons in Alaska! His boat
grated on the beach. and with this
thought uppermost in his mind he
turned toward her home and was some
what taken back to find his hated rival
seated close, very close, to her on an
overturned butter case. They were
eating oranges! Shades of extrava-
gance, oranges! Where had Spoon pro-
cured them? Akkayak had his dark

suspicious. but he hid them manfully
and greeted the girl and her companion
with Il polite ''Tigidliokotin." Iwonna
had ON new red calico parka and was
prettier and more insolent than usual.
Akkayak turned with dignity and
strobe to where Stony Tom sat on a
pile of skins outside the eglow door.
After cultural greeting, listlessly
returned by Stony Tom. he spoke as
follows:
II come to ask you to give me Iwon-
na for my s4uaw. Good eglow have
and plenty good furs and much wood
for the winters coming. Plenty Of
dried tomcod also have l. and no mans
dogs are better than mine. And my
self am Christian man and good and
drink no white mans whisky. In my
eglow Iwonna can live all the same as
white woman and Iwonna's father
shine as the SUM-
Stony Tom shifted his tobacco to the
other side of his capacious mouth and
replied briefly:
"Me like you. You got plenty kow
kow Good. plenty good eglow. IwOnna
him like Spoon. Me speak Iwonna like
you. Iwonna go quick to Spoon. Me
wait. You wait. BY and by plenty
good time
And with such advice Akkayak was
fain to be content. He had no other
rival. True. Okbauk. from Cape Prince
of Wales. came occasionally to see
Stony Tom, but lie never looked at
Iwonna.
And thus moons waXed and waned.
and the gre 1T white silence fell, so that
the suitors of IwOnna went by sled to
the Nook. And the old Eskimo women
put their heads together and said it
was a shame the way the girl acted.
What did the men see in the creature
anyway? Great. staring eyes and a
mouth that gigglcd continually! Sc
cretly they all hoped the girls choice
would fall on Spoon. leaving Akkayak
for one of their daughters, for Akkayak
was Catch The old men said the
fact that Stony Tom favored the suit If
Akkayak made it quite certain thi
would not choose him. and they H..
largely upon Spoon.
But Iwonna kept her own counsel
and accepted all tributes of oranges
and loaf sugar with a placid smile.
She was careful however, to decline
all gifts Of wearing apparel proffered
by either sutton. for with the accept
ance of such garment she would nave
pledged herself to take the giver for
better Or for worse"
Then there came a time when Ak
kayak, on his way to Gold Run creek
with his dog team, met Spoon on the
trail coming to town. Spoon said a
few forcible things and Akkayak for
got his religious training. Over and
over they tumbled, and the Malamoot
dogs sat down in interested astonish-
ment to watch the fray.
Finally a strong right arm blow Of
Akkayak sent Spoon headlong into a
snowdrift. and it was some time before

to Iwonna's eglow any more"
Spoon fairly danced with rage as he
gasped: "Iwonna like me. She no like

This was blow, indeed. but Akka-
yak knew that veracity was not
Spoons strong point. Still. it did sound
like Iwonna's way Of talking. After
some further alteration they agreed to
set out forthwith for the Nook and tell
the tickle maiden that she must choose
one or the other. True. they did not
look as presentable as they could have
wished for such an errand. but the
thing must be settled. Spoon had one
eye closed and his garments much be-
Epattered with gore. Akkayak's upper
lip was twice it's natural size, and his
parka, torn midway off his back, dan
gled forlornly about his heels. He
looked anything but the decent Chris
tan Eskimo of other, calmer, days. No
word was spoken until they were al
most at the Nook, when an unwonted
stir about the village caused each to
pause and give an astonished "Ugh!'
All the Eskimos in the little settle
ment seemed to be out and about the
eglow Of Stony Tom. Was Stony Tom
dead? Akkayak thought it possible,
for the old man had been complaining
Of late. All, we'll. all old people must
die some time, and squaws who were
orphans were really more desirable.
Enlightenment was not long in COM
ing. Out from his eglow stepped Stony
Tom, and behind him came Okbauk
holding Iwonna by the hand. The girl
was dressed in new and much en-
broidered fine fur parka and looked
very meek. Beside the door stood Ok
bauk's new sled with ivory runners and
six good Malamoot dogs hitched there
to with fancy harness and jingling
bells. Okbauk tenderly placed Stony
Tom and Iwonna on the sled, wrapped
them carefully in furs and, taking his
place on the trail ahead of his team,
home he had prepared for his squaw.
Spoon looked at Akkayak and Aka
