IOHNNY'S LATEST ESSAY.
| Subject IL the Hog, and the KnOwl-
edge He Displays Still Leaves
Him Star Scholar.

The hog is called hog b'cuz he makes
hog of himself 1t runs in the family.
All hogs are hogs.
The hog has two sides to his charac-
ter, one of which is good to eat and the
other we can't so cordjully admire. AS
an article of diet the hog is one of the
warmest friends to the human race
that l know of. Most of him is good for
food and the rest Is useful in making
sausages, bristle brushes and other
utensils. Nearly everything about him
is palatable but his voice. The latter
always seems to me to sound as If it
had kind O soured. 1t is said that you
can't make silk purse out of lady
hogs ear. l have never heard of any
fool big enough to try it.
AS citizen the hog is not SO warm.
His manners and instincts are gross in
the extreme, and his sole ambition
pears to be to eat from early morn till
far into the night. When man is dead
he becomes the late Mr.. So-and-So, and
we say nice things about him. When
hog is dead he is pork, and pa often says:
"Confound this pork" When eat too
much pa calls me pig. A pig is hoxc
little boy. This is all know about the

AWFUL SWEAT BATHS.
Native Boys of Alaska Have q Hard
Time When They Take Their
Weekly Addition.

Boys who make fuss because their
parents oblige them to take frequent
baths should be glad that they are not
Eskimo children living on the shores
Of Norton sound. In that cold region
Of Alaska all the boys are obliged to
take sweat bath every week, and this
bath is no joke.
A fire of driftwood is built in the
center of the floor of the kashim-the
one-roomed house where the men and
boys of village pass most of their
time-and when the smoke has passed
off and the wood is reduced to red,
glowing Goals, cover is put over the
smoke-hole in the roof and the place
becomes intensely hot.
The boys then must take off their
clothes and sit about the furnace-like
apartment until their skin becomes as
red as the shell of a boiled lobster
and seems on the point of blistering.
Owing to the intense heat the bath
ers are obliged to wear respirators to
protect their lungs. These respirators
are pads of shavings bound together,
concave on the inside and convex on
the outside, and large enough to cover
the mouth, nose and part of the cheeks
of the wearer.
Across the inside runs little wooden
bar, which is held in the teeth to keep
the respirators in place.
The boys sit there until they are drip
ping with perspiration. Then they rush
outside into the intense cold and roll
in the snow.
E. w. Nelson, VINO spent between four
and five years in investigating for the
government the Eskimos living about
Behring strait, says: ION several &C.
casions l saw them go from the sweat
bath to holes in the ice on neighbour
ing stream, and squatting there, pour
ice water over their backs and shoul-
ders with wooden dipper, apparent
ly experiencing the greatest pleasure
from the operation"
Although the Eskimo boys seem to
withstand such bath as this all right
and even to enjoy it, it would, in all
probability, kill any white boy who
tried it.-Chicago Inter Ocean.

vile, in the Ozark mountains. He is
Glenn Harrison, aged 13 years. Glenn
is the eldest son OF Guy 4. Harrison.
lawyer.
He completed the course of study of
the Gainesville public schools in March,
1902. The same month he took the ex-
animation given candidates for third
grade teachers certificates in Ozark
county, making good average and Sc
curing a certificate. He continued to
study, and just after he became IL
years old he took the examination for
q second grade certificate. This time
his average grade was the highest made,
being Sc per cent. Mr.. Harrison be-
lieved his promising son was too young
to teach and refused to let him accept
several offers. But one day when his
father was absent attending court,
Glenn took the job of teacher of rural
district, the directors of which came
and offered him the place. He began
work before his father returned, and
the latter, finding him SO ambitious,
decided not to interfere.
Glenn now has 20 pupils. The major
ity are larger and older than he, but
he maintains a degree Of discipline
which many older and more experienced
teachers may well envy. How are
you getting along, GLENN" asked his
mother one day, when he came home
ut the end of a weeks work. Il had
