Glad birds in chorus singing

Of the handsomest summer hats worn

Scientific American. The finest exam
pies Of this industry are produced in
Japan, these wooden ribbons appearing
In many forms, some of which have al
most the delicacy and sheen Of satin,
while others resemble soft and dainty
crepes. Only about is per cent. of the
chip is exported in the form of wood
ribbons, the remainder being worked
into what Is commercially known as chip
braid, and which is employed in the same
manner as straw braid, that is, for hats,
basketry and other fancy articles.
The exports In single year from
Japan have amounted to over $3.50 900,
the United States being a large buyer
The trade is steadily increasing, with
a constantly growing demand, as the in
dustry is comparatively new. While
willow Is considerably used In Germany,
the Japanese manufacturers employ Eu-

Harrisburg: A Municipal Object
Lesson.

The story of the accomplishments
of three years in this little city under
an able, courageous, and interested
head reads like a romance. The
mayor believed that he was elected
as the real administrative head of the
city corporation, not as mere execu-
tive fgure-head, and he has wrought
his belief into continuously vigorous
action, as contrasted with the far
more usual passive morality.
Three years ago, Harrisburg was
practically wide open," but Mayor
Mccormick closed it promptly, within
the law. A corrupt police force, col.
lecting tribute through a corrupt
chief for division with a corrupt
mayor land all this was brought out in
an investigation instituted by Mayor
Mccormick, who forced restitution of
fees illegally retained by his prede.
cessor,) was promptly and substantial
ly reformed, and was turned over to
Mayor Gross, elected in 1905, in a
high state of efficiency.
Political appointees to the city
departments were replaced by men
selected for superior qualifications,
and in at least one case, Mayor Nc
Cormick supplemented an insufficient
salary from his private meansin order
to get capable man.
Harrisburg had three years ago
about four miles of paved streets,
which had been carelessly put down
at high price, and we're allowed to
60 uncleaned for the most part.
During the three.year period nearly
wenty miles of modern asphalt pave.
ment has been laid, and by the insti.
tuition of proper competition and
the elimination of the influence of a
financially interested political boss,
1t has been obtained at prices 25 per
cent. under those formerly paid. A
competently organized inspection
bureau has seen to it that this paving
is properly laid and the specifications
adhered to. BY frequent analysis and
the obtained visits and advice of
eminent paving engineers, the high
standard of the work has been assured.
A "white.winged" corps of sweepers
has brought the paved streets of
Harrisburg into high state of clean
liness, not excelled anywhere. Re-
markable as it may seem, this great
Improvement has been accomplished
without material increase in the rate
of taxation, although the mayors
insistence upon an honest assessment
has added considerably to the city's
valuation and revenue From "Three
Years in Harrisburg" by J. Horace
Mcfarland, in the American Monthly
Review of Reviews for May.

SAVED BY THE REINDEER.
Animals Brought from Siberia by Our
Government Feed Starving
Eskimos.

The government has now given out the
details of the experiment made by Uncle
Sam In Alaska with importing reindeer
to take the place of the native animals
which had begun to die out. This has
enabled the Eskimos who still live in
Alaska to preserve their tribes
Owing to- the diminishing numbers OF
the moose and caribou the natives had
begun to lack both food and the only
method of travelling over their frozen
country
1t was DR.. Sheldon Jackson, the gov
ernment agent of the United States bu-
reau Of education for the territory, who
as far back as 1890 noticed that the ma
tives were losing this source of their
food supply. The whales had retreated
northward; the walrus had disappeared
almost entirely; the seals we're nearly
exterminated, and even the caribou had
died out.
1t was evident that famine faced the
Alaskans, and so in 1901 DR.. Jackson
brought over from Siberia the first herd
OF reindeer, 16 in all. The experiment
was thought to be somewhat useless and
expensive. but later II has been proved
that the government aid has provided a
good means Of living and that the in
vestment will pay we'll in the long run.
The reindeer were brought from
northwest Siberia, where nature Is very
severe, and in which the czar's govern
ment takes no part to aid them. When
the importation by Uncle Sam was
found out by the Russian government
attempts were made to stop It. It was
then too late. as the first herds were al
ready taking well to the native moss Of
Alaska.
This moss grows wild and is found in
sufficient quantity to support myriads OF
reindeer. At the regular rate Of natur-
al increase, even II no more animals are
brought over here, there will be plenty
of reindeer in Alaska by natural increase
Of the imported herds.

GIRL MESSIAH IN EUROPE.
New Religious Sect in Germany That
Believe Christ Is Reincarnated
in Maid of Fifteen.

A strange religious sect has been
founded at Annaberg, in the district of
Erzebebirge, by the superstitious and ig-
norant working people who have come
to believe that Christ has become rein
carnated in the person Of fair-haired,
blue-eyed girl of Is, says the Pittsburg
Gazette. The fact that this girl quoted
Scripture in her sleep was considered a
miracle by her relatives, and she is now
fully convinced of her mission herself.
and often goes into a trance, during
which she makes semibiblical utter
ances.
The news Of this sect recently reached
the police, who appeared at one of their
services. The believers were seated on
hill Just outside the town and on the
summit, on a green velvet cushion was
the girl. After the police had heard
enough blasphemy they proceeded to ar
rest her, but we're attacked by her ad-
herents. and a fight followed, which kept
the local court busy with assault cases
for several days. The girl was placed
under observation in a hospital, but was
declared sane and sent home, where she
was welcomed as a martyr by her be-
levers, who held rousing meeting.
A Berlin journalist who was present
says that the audience was in state
bordering on frenzy. The girl fell into
trance and then a strange voice said:
Peace be with you. am Christ" AS
she spoke all the hearers removed
strange coverings, which they had placed
upon their heads. The voice went on to
say that it had chosen this poor girl to
speak through because she was honest.
Then followed a strange jargon of re-
ligious phrases. and when the voice fin.
ished people were sobbing and writhing
on the floor in religious ecstasy. n

Yakima Valley, Washington,


is the most attractive irrigation propo.
sition in the United States. All but
tropical fruits grow luxuriantly, while
alfalfa is sure and profitable crop.
Twenty acre ranches can be pur.
chased for 81 900, on easy terms. The
Northern Pacific Railway traverses
the entire length of the valley, thus
ensuing good transportation facilities.
Good schools and churches abound,
and rural mail routesare established
throughout the valley, which will soon
be one large village. Thunderstorms
are rare, and cyclones unknown. The
climate, which is very mild, is ex-
tremely beneficial to- consumptives
and those afflicted with bronchial and
