THE dances given by the Arctic Brotherhood each alternate Tues day should be encouraged. The long, dark nights of this northern land are depressing, and social in- tercourse is absolutely essential to the moral and mental health of the people. In this connection atten- ton is called to the fact that the hall is considered unsafe by some; in case a fire should start iu the front of the building all means of egress might be cut off and fatal disaster ensue. It is hoped those who have already displayed so much commendable zeal in providing wholesome recreation for the com munity will exert themselves lit- tie farther and provide a means of exit at the rear of the hall, SO that none may be kept away by feel ing of insecurity. Last winter literary society held weekly sessions and was a source of interest to some; but so far the present season the dances alluded to are the only occasions afforded for ladies to break the tedium of home life. The weekly dances attended by the na- tive women are said to be orderly, enjoyable. and serve useful pur- pose; but the community needs something else-and the Arctic Brotherhood seems to be the only organization in position to sup ply 1t.

Nome postal clerks have been on a strike for better pay and unassorted mail accumulated till the citizens took up subscription and paid them to distribute it. All this did not furry the inspector much. and he would not quit playing solo to even talk about the matter. The Digger gives him some pretty hard digs.

WHEN the bill introduced by Representative Cushman, of Wash ington, for an elective delegate fer Alaska was first discussed ill the house it gave promise of speedy results. When it came to be talked of in the senate, however. the inn pression at once prevailed that the president wanted delegate to be appointed by himself. Then it was that Senator Foraker, of Ohio, got in a delicate bit of sarcasm at the expense of Alaska Americans by proposing to amend the Alaska bill so as to include a delegate from Porto Rico.

Dress of the Jungle Lady.

From Outing.
The low-caste Siamese of the jungle have
few wants, and live like animals, eating
chiefly wild fruits and rice which they
raise in small cleared spots, wherever they
happen to temporarily settle. Like the
Karens. the jungle people of Burma, they
are always On the move, and in common
with all low-caste Siamese are petty
thieves of an incurable propensity. Yet they
are obedient-Servile to an unpleasant degree
for white blood. They manufacture moth
ing save crudest domestic household neces-
stiles and personal ornaments from bamboo
Clothes are of slight consequence. On the
jungle edge they go uncovered, men and
women. above the waist, the panung reach
ing within four inches of the knee; but deep
in the jungle they are practically naked.
Their single implement is a long-bladed,
butcher-like knife, used as pathmaker, as
weapon together with a wood Spear) and
industrially in fashioning out of the ubiqui-
touS bamboo their ornaments, their buck
cts, their rope, their string, their houses
and the food receptacles which take the
place of pots and pans and plates. Nearly
all of the jungle folk on both sides the
Siam Burma line tattoo the thigh some
times from knee to hip, more often from the
knee to only six inches above. The design
may be turtle, or the much-dreaded tiger
done deliberately, but the one most fire.
quenty SEEM and the simplest is a sort OF
lace or fringe pattern in the middle of the
thigh, or just below the knee, like garter.
The womel do not tattoo, believing IN
beauty unadorned heaven knows they need
adornment.

physician" and doctor"

From the New York Tribune.
The Society of Medical Jurisprudence on
Monday night took action leading toward
the stricter and more exact use of words
which ought to be commended by all peo-
pie having at heart that feature of good
English style. Hereafter the society is to
designate it's medical members as ''phys!
clans and not asa.'doetors." One of the
most frequent mistakes made by people
who use the language loosely is the en-
ployment of generic words where the speci-
fic are demanded.
Few persons realize that a physician is a
doctor, but that there are plenty of doctors
who are not physicians. The elements of
stymology show that doctor means teacher.
the idea being, of course, that man who
has attained a doctorate In any subject Is so
well versed In that subject that he can
teach it. hi'
The medical practitioners occupation is
that of physician, and his title is that of
doctor simply because after rigorous
course In medicine the academic degree OF
doctor of medicine has been conferred on
him. If man has a doctorate In laws or
in divinity he Is as much entitled to be
called doctor, as be who has doctorate
in medicine. Yet We constantly hear peo-
pie say. Hes a doctor" meaning ply
stefan. as IL physician" and doctor were
necessarily synonymous

AN ALLOWANCE FOR THE CHILD
Boy Who is Given a Certain Stipend
Should Be Taught Its Right Use.

From the Pilgrim.
The father may be of great assistance to
his boy when he is old enough to have an
allowance of spending money. boys 1rst
idea of the of money is to buy every
thing which attracts his fancy. When an
allowance is made him he should be adj
vised as to it's proper expenditure. but if he
is to learn to spend wisely he must be per-
mitted to use his own Judgment. When he
has made few mistakes and finds himself
out of money before the day on which he
receives it he will learn to spend more
carefully the next time.
A father sometimes prefers the plan of
giving money to the boy he may feel
disposed; sometimes the amount may be
very liberal, at other times very meager.
and at others none at all The method has
nothing to recommend it. and cannot pos
sibly teach the boy the proper use of
money. If he has only to beg his father
long enough to produce any desired amount
there will be no reason for his exercising
any care In spending 1t. Although the
amount he receives simply depends upon
the generosity of his father he will in time
come to demand 1t as right, and he will
spend ii his fancy may dictate. From
this method he will never cultivate economy
nor learn to save large amounts by small
Sacrifices and the saving of small amounts.
If an allowance is promised a child it
should De palQ as punctually as 10 q DuSl-
ness man. Otherwise he will imbibe ideas
of laxity in money affairs which will hurt
| his business career. Allow the boy to de-
eide whether the allowance is to be paid to
him In money or credited to his account in
a book which he may keep for the purpose.
1t will probably be more satisfactory to
both parties for the money to be paid each
week. and the boy may learn to save it by
opening an account at savings bank. The
amount of the allowance may be exceed
lngly small, but 1t will be sufficient to give
him feeling of independence.
The accumulation of money and the nee
essary discipline are great factors, and the
father who teaches his son to expend it
wisely has prepared him for many of the
serious problems Of life AS husband and
father, the man of the house has the power
to make home very happy or miserable
He is looked up to with reverential love
unless he himself destroys that sentiment,
and he is the greatest man in the world to
his son until he lowers the standard set for
him.

An Archbishop's Joke.
from the London Leader.


The Right Rev. DIR. Randall Thomas Da-
wilson, archbishop of Canterbury. more
than held his own as a raconteur during
his visit to Fernleigh Over the county seat
of Bishop Potter. This is one of his stories:
''when l was young man | once made
an impassioned appeal on behalf of for
eign missionary to an audience composed
of my rural parishioners. The following
week I was surprised on entering pro-
vision shop In the village to be greeted with
marked GOODNESS by the worthy dame who
kept 1T. On asking the reason OF this
strange treatment the good woman pro-
duced a half crown from a drawer. and.
throwing II down before my astonished eyes
snapped: L marked that half crown and
put it In the plate last Sunday. and hsrt
1t is back again In my shop. I knowed vel
them niggers would never get the money!

Size Of Texas.
Texarcana Courier,

From the Texarcana Courier.
This will help you to figure out just how
large Texas really is. If you have a star
mathematician In your family, tell him the
number Of square miles there are in the big
state, then tell him the population of the
globe; then ask him If all the people in the
world were placed in Texas and it's soil
divided out among them per CAPT q, how
large would the mans farm be who had q
wife and two children? When he gets
through figuring, then whisper In his ear:
More than half an acre.
