Grand Canon Aerial rramway.

The gigantic gorge of the Grand
canon of the Colorado is soon to be
spanned at its widest point by an
aerial tramway which will carry pas
sengers at height OF 5000 feet from
the bottom of the Bright Angel trail
to the top Of Buckskin plateau.
From this eminence the Coconino
country, Arizona. may be seen plainly,
with California and Nevada to the
westward. Utah on the north and
Colorado and New Mexico away to the
east.
or all the expeditions which have
been made to the Grand canon from
the very bottom of the gorge to the top
Of Buckskin or Kaiben plateau, reached
by n circuitous twelve-mile trail, none
has disclosed the wonders OF scenery
which n ride on the aerial will offer.
By the anchoring of cable some 500
feet in length to the wall of rock on
either side of the gorge on which will
be operated a cage or car and the fur
ther Improvement OF the trail on the
north side Of the huge crevice II Is
proposed to transfer tourists from the
bottom of the Bright Angel trail to the
top of the plateau. To build this aerial
tramway company has Just been in
corporated at Kanab. Utah.
From the height which tourists will
attain one may locate by means of a
powerful glass the various cities of
southern California. Much OF the Nor
mon state could be seen in this way.
while the dry desert air OF Arizona
would permit splendid long distance
views OF that territory.
Surveys and an estimate place the
cost at about $4,000. In connection
with the establishment OF the aerial
tramway the company and southern
Utahans generally are working to have
a large portion OF country about Buck.

A Fire Escape.

A public school teacher in Balti-
more tells of district trustee in n
town not far from the Monumental
City who is much interested in the
disciplinary methods to be used in
case Of fire in a school building.
Whenever he. in company with the
examining board, made the rounds Of
the various schools, he would invaria.
bly nut many questions to the pupils
as to what they would do in case Of
are. In many instances the teachers
forestalled him by coaching their pu.
nils as to the proper replies to such
questions. In one school particularly
the children had been carefully pre-
pared in this respect.
one day, however, the trustee va
ried his usual program, and instead
of propounding the customary ques.
tions. decided to address the children
on other topics.
"Now, boys and girls" he began.

FOLKLORE OF rHs ESKIMO.
The Human Quality Predominates
Throughout the Hsro.T aIes,


Throughout the Hsro.Tales.
The most striking feature of Eski.
mo folklore Is Its thoroughly human
character, says writer in the Inter-
national Quarterly. In strict sense
OF the term the bulk OF Eskimo tradi-
tion is not mythology but hero tales.
which reflect with remarkable faithful
ness the social condition and religious
beliefs of the people. They treat OF
visits to fabulous tribes, of murder
and revenge. OF mercy and recon-
pense of feats OF shamanism and of
witchcraft. The supernatural enters
into them. but only as 1t enters into
the everyday life OF the people. to
whom witches. guardian spirits of
shamans. giants and dwarfs are exist.
Ing realities. In this sense most of
the Eskimo tales are true tales taken
from life and show great lack of i'm
aginative power.
Setting aside this group of hero
tales. there remain only a few entire
ly disconnected myths. One of them
tells how woman was mutilated by
her father. who cut off her finger
Joints one after the other. From
these joints originated the sea NAM
mails and the woman became their
mistress. Another myth tells of tine
origin of sun and moon. who in the
beginning were human beings. a
brother and sister. and who were
taken up TO the sky.

Sam Holder. whom every one in

for selling hard cider. He was taken
before Judge Joslin of Hudson, and
when his case came up the Judge ask

spoke rapidly, and was apt to clip his
words, replied: Eyes. yes; you know

Doctor Brigham Says

Vegetable Compound

The wonderful power of Lydia E.
Pinliham's Vegetable Compound over
the diseases of womankind is not be-
cause II is n stimulant. not because 1t
is a palliative. but simply because it is
the most wonderful tonic and recon-
structor ever discovered to act directly
upon the generative organs, positively
curing disease and restoring health and
vigor.
Marvellous cures are reported from
all parts of the country by women who
have been cured. trained nurses who
have witnessed cures and physicians
who have recognized the virtue of
Lydia L. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound. and are fair enough to give
credit where it is due.
II physicians dared to be frank and
open, hundreds of them would acxnowl-
edge that they constantly prescribe
Lydia l.. Pinkham's Vegetable Conn
pound in severe cases of female ills, as
they know by experience it can be re-
lied upon TO effect u cure. The follow
ing letter proves it.
DR.. S. G. brigham, of Brigham
