Carry Your own pillow.

Many people when away from home
find it difficult to sleep well in a
strange bed and arise in the morning
with a sense of having passed a decid-
eddy unsatisfactory night. An old rail
way official. who ought to know. says
the trouble is all in the pillow. It's
the pillow first, last and always. He
has slept in many lands and under all
imaginable conditions and years ago
came to the conclusion that with ones
own pillow at hand it mattered little
about the bed. On an extended tour he
always takes his pillow with him,
slowing it carefully at the bottom of
the trunk for future reference. III I

be acquired during childhood. The

. lndians' Nose Breathing.

An English scientist thinks it unnec-
essary that children should be taught
to breathe through the nostri.s only
and maintains that they cannot do so
under the stress of active exertion.
London Hospital thinks otherwise.
Among the North American aborigines
at a time when they were capable of
extraordinary physical exertion the
precept Ito shut your mouth" was n
forced upon the young by the most Sc
ver discipline.
Catlin founded upon his experiences
among the American tribes a curious
book upon the subject. After depicting
open mouthed men and boys in every
variety of ugliness and stupidity, he
says that he refrains from giving illus
trations of the fairer sex and would
only remind them, while counseling
them to be careful about closure of the
mouth at night, that idiots asleep can
not be angels awake"
The scientist declares that not all
nostrils are sufficiently wide to permit
of breathing being conducted through
them to the exclusion of the mouth,
but it is certain that nothing would
tend more than breathing through
them to promote their development.

Why He Waited.

On a certain occasion Henry Ward
Beecher's church was crowded to the
doors. But Beecher unexpectedly had
been called out Of town, and in his
place in the pulpit there sat a beard
less, black clad youth-a youth who is
today one of the most powerful preach
ers in Amerioas But this youth, fresh
from college, was unknown then, and
the great congregation had come to
hear Beecher and not him. Conse-
Quently as soon as he arose and an
nounced that he was to preach i'll
Beecher's place the people began to
drift out. First one went, then two.
then a half dozen, and the young man
stood watching this dispersal from
the pulpit. 1t was a trying moment,
and yet there sat on his youthful face
a smile singularly composed. Out the
people tiptoed. and lie waited. saying
nothing, for almost five minutes. Then
he said. as II in explanation Of his
silence. 1--WE will not begin this pub

with the North sea incident, the Unit
ed States government will cordially
cooperate in the naming of the com
missioner by delegation of one OF it's
high naval officers as a member OF
that body.
The outcome is especially pleasing
to the administration, following as it
does so closely on President Roose-
velt's invitation to the powers of the
world for a second Hague conference.
The popular impression has been all
along that Admiral George Dewey, the
ranking officer in the American navy,
would be asked to be the American
representative on the commission, al
though other names have been men,
toned in connection with the appoint
ment. A decision will be reached
promptly after the formal invitation
has been received from the Russian
and British governments as to who
shall be designated.
This formal invitation has not yet
been received, the two governments in
the negotiations which have been in
progress between them acting entirely
en- the presumption that the United
States would cheerfully give it's as
sistance and designate a naval officer.

The State Finds Them GOOD Homes
and Has No Orphanage.
Australia is a continent without an
orphanage, a country@ without an Or
phan. Each waif is taken to a receiv-
ing house where it is cared for till q
country home is found. The local vol
unteer societies ave their neigh
borhoods and send to the children's
committee Of the destitute board the
names of any families they have
found where children may be placed.
The children's committee selects the
home which it Judges is best adapted
to the development of the child in
question.
No child is placed in a family so
poor that the child might suffer. The
foster parent receives a sum averaging
$1.25 per week for the car of the
child and for proper clothing. When of
school age the child must be sent to
school. The local volunteer committee
jealous neighbors often assist in watch
ing the growth and education of these
happy children.
When the child is fourteen years old
he begins to work. His earnings are
placed in the Restal Savings bank, and
at the age Of seventeen or eighteen he
goes out into the world IN independent
man. The state, at an expense of less
than $40 a year, has raised a MAI or
woman to contribute to it's wealth and
prevented the manufacture of a crimi-
nal and the expense of courts, prisons

A o or ERoME
The Master Painter. the New Student
and a Practical pike

and a Practical Joke.
A number of years ago a poverty
stricken painter, since famous and
prosperous, went to Paris from a coun-
try village and entered the studio of
Gerome at the Ecoie des Beaux Arts.
The new students first day CHANGED to
be CRITICISM day." and the older stu
dents, finding themselves cheated out
of their customary boisterous hazing
by this circumstance, resolved to have
their fun in an indirect fashion.
Accordingly they took the novice
aside and impressed upon him in tho
most friendly and confidential way inn
aginable that he was under the obliga-
ton of giving a tip to the professor
when he criticised his work. Incredu.
lous at first, the callow youth let HIM
the proper thing. His means Were SO
small that he awaited his turn with an
i'll concealed anxiety which those in
the plot relished keeniy. When his
turn came he %convulsed the room by
slipping a hnfffranc piece into the pro-
fessor,s hand.
Gerome was too familiar with the
practical jokes of the Beaux Arts not
to comprehend the situation and had
much ado to keep his counten&nce. He
succeeded, however, and blurted ont
with the grutfness which lie assumed
SO admirably:
''What does this mean: You'll do
well to come to see me some fine morn
ing and straighten this ching out"
The bewildered pupil interpreted the
admonition literally and presented him
self at Gerome's private studio two
days later. Gerome received him like
a father, led him Oh to confess his des-
titution and to unburden himself of his
hopes and fears, gave him good coun-
sci and restored to him his half frame
piece in the form of a twenty frame
gold piece.

CREW SUFFER
BY PASSING STEAMER.
WaterIogged Vessel Now a DereIect
Somewhere in the North
ern Seas.

San Francisco, Nov. 27.-Some-
where in the northern sea the old
barkentine Quickstep, waterlogged,
deserted and r%udderless, is drifting a
uerel1ct. Her crew of 10 men has
been landed in this city by the steam
ship Homer, after undergoing nine
Gays Of privation and hardshirs and
losing all their personal belongings.
The Quickstep crew was taken from
the disabled ship by the .Tampico,
Captain John Roberts. bound from
Seattle and Tacoma to San Pedro.
When off Gray's harbor Captain Rob
erts transferred the crew of the ship
wrecked vessel to the steamship
Homer. On Thursday Captain Rob-
erts sighted the Quickstep flying sig
nails of distress. Her sails were in
rags and she rolled heavily.
The captain of the barkentine sig
nailed a request for a tow to the near
est port, but Captain Roberts replied
that he could not possibly tow Hmyin,
as he did not have a hawser strong
enough. He offered to take off the
crew before shutdown and this offer
was accepted. a.
Captain Johnson of the Quickstep
made preparations to take off his
crew, but while doing so his foretop-
sail blew away and the barkentine was
left in a worse condition than ever.
The Tampico lay to for an hour, and
as no further attempt was made by
the Quickstep to launch a. boat, one
was sent from the Tampico, in charge
of Second officer Gepereus, with four
seamen, and an attempt was made to
get the men off the lee quarter of the
disabled vessel, but as the sea was
running high this was found to be i'm
possible. The boat was then brought
around and the men loaded them
selves into it by sliding down a rope
from the end of the ships boom.
They managed to take their dog
with them, but left behind every stitch
of clothing, save the oilskins they
wore, and also lost what personal be-
longings they possessed.
Captain Roberts says the Quickstep
first got into trouble November Is,
and from that GATE she had been in a
waterlogged condition with the fore
castle and after cabin stove in, the
boats smashed and the provisions wet.
The stearing gear was washed away
and the vessel opened fore and aft.
The members of the crew were in a
sorry plight, worn out with long and
hard work.
The bark Quickstep was built in
1876 at Port Ludlow, Wash. She was
Of 443 tons, 14S feet long, "a feet in
breadth and 10 feet deep. She was
owned by S. B. Peterson of this city
and was engaged in the lumber trade
along the coast. When picked up by
the Tampico she was nine days out
of Mukilteo and bound for San Fran
cisco.
