Haines People Deny Suicide
 Theory

The people of Hslnes who knew James Hansen, who was recently drowned, best scout the theory thai has been advanced that he committed sui eide after drowning the woman with whom he was living, according to those recently from that town. They say that there is absolutely no truth in the report that there had been any trouble between him and Mary Noses, the woman who was drowned at the same time he was.
 James Hansen has lived long a' HaiueS and was we'll liked there. It IS agreed by the people Of the town that he was a man incapable of harming anyone, or of committing suicide,
 "Everybcdy at Haiues," said Capt Layton, ot the Union, last night "is agreed that Hansen's death and that ol Mary Moses were purely accidental"

How 70 Walk up.t.irs.

"There are but few persons who
know how to walk upstairs properly
said we'll known physician. 1'Usu-
ally a person will tread on the ball
Of his foot in taking each step, spring
ing himself up to the next step.
This is very tiresome and wearing
on the muscles, as it throws the en-
tire suspended weight of the body
on the muscles of the legs and feet.
You should in walking or climbing
stairs seek for the most equal dis
tribution of the body's weight pos
sible. In walking up stairs your
feet should be placed squarely down
on the step, heel and all, and then
the work should be performed slow
ly and deliberately. In this way
there is no strain upon any particu.
lar muscle, but each one is doing it,
duty in natural manner. The man
who goes upstairs with q springin2

In II. Day. Of chiv.Iry.

Most people will be somewhat sur
prised to hear that tho idea Of wom-

really protective nature, is Of COM
paratively modern origin, says a con-
tributor to the Grand Magazine.
But such appears to be the case.
Nothing strikes one more forcibly
in the study of medieval literature
than the absolute freedom women
enjoyed to travel and wander alone
without fear of molestation. The
times were unsettled, undoubtedly,
and men lived for fighting only; but,
nevertheless, the helpless and de-
fenseless we're safe enough, so far as
one can Judge from contemporary
literature. do not deny that they
came to grief occasionally, but as a
general rule men respected the other

THE REAL SAHARA.
How the Vast Desert Appear. to the
Caravan Traveller.

The Sahara is not at all as pop
ular belief pictures it, vast plain
of moving sand, dotted here and
there with fertile GASES. somewhat
like leopard's skin From Tunis
westward it is a vast depression of
sand and clay not much above sea
level, in some parts perfectly level,
in others hilly, with low depressions
containing water saltier than the
sea, which generally eyaporates,
leaving a coating of brilliant crys-
tails which appear like snow in the
distance. The rivers from the Aures
mountains on the north serve to ir-
rigate the GASES of the Ziban. Some.
times they flow above the surface.
but often below it. There is fasci-
nation about the desert that is in
describable and that none can UNI
derstand unless they have spent sew
eral weeks with caravan. At times
the heat is very great, but, being
perfectly dry, it does not enervate
as our humid atmosphere does at a
temperature 40 degrees lower. Near
midday the desert appears to be a
molten sea of dazzling, vibrating
light. Now and then the mirage
appears, and the tired eyes of the
stranger are refreshed with visions
of beautiful lakes near the horizon,
even sometimes of trees and moving
caravans. Alas! This is case
where seeing is not believing. After
many disappointments of this kind
the camels suddenly raise thei,
heads and snuff the air through
their curiously formed nostrils and
move at a quicker pace, instinct tell.
ing them that water is near. In the
far distance low black line indicat.

ALONE IN A CROWD.
One Phase Of Apartment House Lite ir
the Groat Cities.

There are perhaps 100 people in
our apartment house, 1000 or it
may be 1000 or 5000 in our block.
They live in small, comfortably fur
nished and very convenient apart
ments, but they live alone. No one
ever sees any exchange of courtesies
between them. They are not inter-
ested in the progress Of the lives Of
the people about them. You might
live there a year or ten years, and l
doubt if your next door neighbo1
would even so much as know Of
your existence. He is too busy.
Your business might fail, your chill
dren perish. You might suffer every
calamity from heartache to literal
physical destruction, and l doubt
whether he would ever hear of it.
Marriage, birth, death, any and all
of the other homely and really es-
sential happenings of life are all
trivial under the new dispensation.
Neither you nor your wife nor chill
dren nor your children's children
have any interest for him. 1t is all
Is if you really did not exist.
The pathos Of all this is that
these people never quite realize un-
til some of the real calamities Of life
overtake them what they have been
ignoring and casting aside. Until
they are old, until they are stricken
with illness, until they stand bereft
Of fortune or until they are visited
by death-then and then only dc
they become aware of the impor.
lance of the individual relationship
It matters not in such an hour what
the prime Importance of the world
may be. It will not avail them to
know that the world still goes on
and that the principal thorough
fares of the great cities are alive
with spectacle forever fascinating
| and forever new. Life in the alb
stract cannot aid them then. They
are alone, left longing for per
sonal relationship, with an aching

THE cow TREE.
A Vegetable Freak Found In Mountain
REGIONS Of Venezuela,

The mountain region Of Nenezue-
la is the home of one of the most
remarkable botanical freaks known
to grow upon the American CONT
nent. 1t is a tree which hourishes
only upon the mountain sides and
always at the height OF about 5000
feet above sea level. 1t is lofty and
slender for its height and has broad,
stiff leaves of a dusty white color,
which give it the appearance of be-
ing almost dead. What is queer
about this tree with the tall, slender
trunk and dead looking leaves and
branches? 1t is odd enough, sure,
for, although it is very stupid
looking forest growth, it is known
the world over as the milk" or
"cow trce"-the famous ''palo de
vaca," which Humboldt so glowing
ly describes. 1t is an evergreen va
riety, and those who have used its
"milk' pronounce it perfectly de-
licious." When the traveller, hunter
or native of the Venezuelan noun
tains is tired, hungry or thirsty he
needs but to cut the bark of the COW
tree in order to be rewarded with a
copious flow of this milky sap, which
is said to be even sweeter and richer
than the milk of the best high grade
Jersey. If collected in vessels and
allowed to stand for some little time,
say from eight to twelve hours, it
grows thick and yellow, and the
"cream" goes through the process of
"rising to the top" just as it does
in ordinary milk.
At about the time of sunrise, ac-
cording to scientists, is the hour
chosen by those acquainted with the
trees peculiarities for tapping the
bark. At that time the milk is be-
lieved to be more palatable and nu>
tritious than if taken after the sun
has been acting for some hours
upon the leaves. Attempts have
been made to cultivate the COW tree
both in Mexico and in the smaller
Central American republics, but so
far all such innovations have been
failures. As soon as it is removed
from the mountain sides, even in its
native land, where the natives have
tried to grow it in the valleys, it
withers and dies.
