There Ii a story about Alaska and Its
people ia which Is mentioned u man
who chose bride from among some OF
the Indian tribes up toward the Chill
coot pass. He took her to Il large city,
Montreal. perhaps, and left her In 4
splendid hotel while he went out to sec
some one about dog. She missed him
sadly. She sat at the window looking
out ON the street four stories below.
Solitude became intolerable. She de-
cided to find her husband. There was
an elevator. but she didn't care for it.
Softly as moccasins could carry her she
issued forth. When she had gone out,
a bellboy saw queer marks on the bal
listers and do0rcaslngs. The Indian
bride had blazed her way with toma-
hawk 30 that she could find her way
back. The Indian bride was merely
living UP to her education, for It IL very

THE FEMININE FlB.
A JudiciOus Blend of Black, White
Gray and Chinese Lies.

JudiciOus Blend of Black, White,
Gray and Chinese Lies.
A distinguished preacher once divid-
ed lies into "black lies, white lies, gray
lies and Chinese lies" The feminine
fib Is generally a judicious blend of the
white lie and the Chinese lie. For the
benefit of those Who have never grau-
uated In the special mendacity tripos 1t
may be explained that Chinese lie Is,
as rule, purely ornamental, being of
the nature of embroidery, which Is In
tended to add beauty and color to the
plain object OH which it is used as
trimming.
The Chinese lie is prompted by the
very highest and noblest of motives
namely. II desire to give pleasure to
others, many n plain, dull fact being
served up and made quite tasty and
appetlzing by little judicious garni-
ture OF Chinese -er-embroidery. Dl-
rected into the proper channel, Il Chi
nese liar becomes skillful writer OF
fiction and turns her gift to profitable
account. But the everyday feminine
amateur, who has not this outlet for
lti
tention TO the afternoon tea table and
adds spice to whatever gossip Is go
Ing by II gentle pepperlng OF fibs.
Unfortunately this gift Of magma
ton Is often accompanied by u defec-
tive memory. whereas to make good
-er-prevarieator nothing Is 50 essen
tlal as good memory. Without this
the employer of the Chinese method Ia
almost certain to get found out sooner
or later generally sooner-and then
she has the modification of finding that
her little efforts to please quite fail in
their effect. And not only that; but,
what is more trying still, she even finds
that when from lack of material for
fictional purposes she does for once
serve up the cold, ungarnished truth
her hearers have so got In the habit of
disbelieying her that her plain state
ment Is received with incredulity. That
is why any one who aims at distinction
In the flbblng world must carefully cul
tlvate Il good memory and so follow the
Golden ItuIe to avoid being found out.

communication of rations amounting to

economy this yearly allowance is suffi-
cient for the support of n cadet
The army cadet who goes To the Mill
tary academy with spendthrift habits
soon receives decided and severe
check. AS an instance, n cadet some

for an order for four shirts, but the
superintendent peremptorlly refused to
give his approval. The young man was
sorely In need, and lie attempted TO
convince his superior of the fact. The
latter took UP the cadets account book

DOES GOLD GROW?

AFTER IL Has become Civilized.
Some reasons for answering this
question III the affirmative are given
by Popular Mechanics" which warns
the reader, however, that he must not
expect TO grow gold eagles from dol.
lars. Says the writer:
'It has been found that gold nuggets
under favorable conditions actually in.
crease In size. Gold is known to have
grown on mine timbers which have
long been immersed in mine water. In
the California State Mining Bureau
museum there Is Il specimen of n piece
of jointed cap and post taken from the
Comstock, where 1t had been under
water for years. In which gold has
formed In the joints and pores of the
wood Gold Is constantly being formed
In rocks and veins and placers. Just
what 1t Is that the baby gold formation
feeds on TO effect Its growth Is not
known. If 1t weIe n new and wonder
fully lucrative industry might be born,
and all other kinds of farming save the
growing of gold might temporarily be
abandoned. The formation and growth
ARE Tue 10 Hleciihnleal anu CneHlcul ac-
ton. As In the case of the animal or
vegetable the gold has existed In
some other state before assuming its
present form. Waters which percolate
through the earth's crust are said to
contain substances from which gold Is
formed. Thus gold, like the animal and
vegetable. must have water in order to
thrive. The gold In the water is de-
posted when II meets the proper pre-
cipitant. The precipitant may be an
earth current of electricity, some vege-
table growth or chemical in the rocks.
1t has been claimed that the nuggets
found In placers are the formations
from the waters that percolate through
the gravels, and are not from decom-
posed quartz. as generally supposed.
Those who so contend cite the fact
that In the center of nuggets can be
often found Il small grain of iron sand.
This was the nucleus around which the
earth current of electricity created or
deposited In electroplatlng. During
long ages this influence was Mt work
causing the gold to form around the lit
tie grain of Iron ore and then grow to
become II bright, shining nugget of
gold much larger and purer than any
ever found In the veins of ore"
