STRANGE SEADOGS
OF SKIDGATE

One winter when there was a famine
along THE shores of Skidegate creek,
there came to the village a man, his
wife and mothe~-i i'm law.
"Go AWAY" cried the people of the
village, "we we have not food enough
! for ours .lv,s. How cam we feed you9"
| So. Stasqua, for THAT was the man q
nanme, went a few miles from the viz
lage and built himself a hut ON the
shore near where the creek opencd into
the ocean
| AN the family had to eat was some
salmon eggs which they brought with
them from their forme,' home, and
some pieces of whale blubber, which
thdy had found near the shore. The
man knew by the finding of this whale
blubber that the people in the village
had cut up a whale tthere not long be-
fore and had concealed the fact from
him for fear THAT he would ask fd;
| SOME of the whale flesh
| In those high northern latitudes,
| whene rthe cold is so intense THE great
err part of the year, the natives are as
| fond of whale blubber and other fatty
Things ito eat as boys are of jam. SO
Stasqua was delighted with his ''f find. {"
But tine salmon eggs were few and
the pieces of whale blubber were small
and, altogether, they hah just about
enough to keep them aldve for two
61vs VIII N the family set us house
| keeping I'M lthe hut near the mouth of
| the creek.
Every day S'asqua went out early in
the moruig and spent hours hooking
for the she'd fish which mighht be UNI
covered along the beach at low tide.
He ALSO dug for edible roots and so,
/ for timr, managed to keep himself
and his family alive. One day, when
he was digging for ROOTS he heard a
peculiar whining noise and, looking be-
hind a stun, saw two half-starved
little puppies Whether they had wan
d red awaV from the village and got
lost, or where they came from Stas
qua had no idea; but he took the two
poor little WAITS up and carried them
to the hut where he warmeil them be-
fd Ie the fire until they began to be
lively and to play about the floo- In
the most cumming way.
It was short ratdons in the S'asqua
hous, tihat day The sun had been up
only a few hours and had sunk beneath
the hourizon at 8 O'Clock in the after
noon Outside it was 49 degrees below
zcro. but THERE was NO. a breath of air
stil ing ami, in that intensely still at
mospho e, you don't feed the cold as
you do when the temperature is much
higher ard the wind blows.
Stasqua and his family could hear
the great caL,s of ice grimding against
each other and the sullen roar of the
wrinItry ocean. Then came sound like
THAT produceib by a piece of silk shaken
vioIeutly-a SCI ID of cracking sound
and Stasqua looking out of the door,
saw that the northerm lights We're out.
When the two puppies saw the north
ern lights they yelped and wanted to
go out; but Stasqua closed THE door
and kept them in Then the mother
in law looked at the puppies and said:
"There is nothing in THE house to eat
and yesterday we had only a handful
of roots.'
S'asqua knew of what she was
thinking, and said: "Yes, / suppose
We might kill the puppies and eat
them.''
Butt his wife said: "No. it would

bc,' which have been saving 1T is
not enough to support life for the
three of us for anchher day. Let us
feo5 it to the puppies and them let
them go.
SO she gave the pieces of blubber to
the puppies and when they had eaten
it, to the surprise of the three people
who watched them, tho little dogs BE-
gam Ito grow before their eyes until
they were as big as fox teiric,s. Then
they rushed to dor and demanded
with growls and barks, to be let out.
"Poor 'diogs," said Stasqua, ego
your way and may better luck attend
you than has attended me in an effort
to keep you from starving"
Then the three people sat down by
the fire, covcred their heads with
blankets and were very miserable.
Half am hour passed and there came a
scratching and joyous barking ait the
door and in rushed the two dogs, each
bearing in his mouth fresh salmon.
The two fish We're cooked amid great
rejoicing, and that night the S'asqua
family lay DOWN to sleep feeling for
the first time I'M many moons thatthey
had had real neal
The next day the dogs went fishing
again, swimming far out into the water
and bringing back fish al every trip.
Anil every day the dogs became big
ger The second day they were as
la,gs a1 bu.l-teTrio 8, and the third
dsy aa big as fox hounds. And the
bigger they got the more fish and the
bigger fish they broughth home, until
ONE day, when they had become as big
as great Dams, they went out and
came back with nothing in their
mouths. But they barkel and frisked
around Stasqua, and kept running
back toward the shote, in a. manner
which plainly indicated that they

Stagqua went to the shore and There
saw stranded whale which the two
dogs had caughht anil pulled ON the
beach.
Tine Stasqua family had not been
able to cat adj the fish which the dogs
had brought them and so had dried a
lot of it amd now had a good store of
fod laid by enough TO hast them until
spring. Sc, whin Stasqua saw the
whales he thoughn of the starving
people at the village. and went Ito them
telling them to come and help them
selves.
So they came, very much an hamed
of the manner in which they had acted
toward the man and his family when
they came begging for food, and cut
up the whale. Then they took Stas-
qua back 10 the village with them,
who're they gave him good house TO
live in and made him chief.
III was dark when they went toward
tine village, and the ndcthern lights
were out, just as they had been on
the night when Stasqua first brought
homh the puppies AS they trudged
along over the snow the dogs looked
out toward the dancing and streaming
lights. Barking a good-by to Stasqua
they jumped into the creek and swan
toward the OCEAN. They were never
seen again, but the next mo ming there
wae two islands near the mouth of
the cr%eek which had not been there
before. These islands are there TO
this day, and the people along the
shore call them f" Stasqua q dogs"

OCEANS OF SMALL CHANGE
Nickels Paid Into New York Street
Car Companies Reach an En-
ormous Total.

1t is probable that all the five-cent
pieces now in existence would not
have more than paid the cash fs es
collected on the New York City Rail
way company lines alone. Accord.ne
to the report of the state railroad com
mission, the number of cash fares
paid in 1905 in New York reached the
enormous total of LII ISL ,69S. At i've
cents each that amounts to $5S.557,-
5S4.9O. In the period from 1893 to the
close of 1904 the total value of the
hve-cent pieces coined in this country
amounted to only s24,175, 7SS.15. Ii all
the three-cent pieces and two-uent
pieces and the cents and half-cents
were added 1t would still leave a total
IN money far less than that represent
ed by the collection of cash fares in
New York. With a reasonable allow
ance for the number of coins that
must have been lost and destroyed in
one way or another since our mint
was opened, 1t is probable that the
total amount of change now in this
country, including all coins between o
dollar and three cents, would not ex-
coed the sum which was collected last
year on the New York transportation
lines. OF course, the secret is that the
same coin does duty over and over
again.

APACHES SUN WORSHIPERS.
Orb of Day Always Besought for Fa-
vor Upon Undertaking Any
Expedition.

The Apaches, like many other North
American tribes, are sun-worshipers.
Their myths tell them that the sun
is the all-powerful deity and to it all
supplications are addressed. On going
into battle, planting corn, or on start
ing on a cattle-stealing expedition, the
sun is asked to look with favor. That
they believe in future world writes
Z. S. Curtis, in Scribner's, is proved
by their custom of killing horses aud
burying them, as well as their cloth
ing and implements of the chase, for
life in the future world. Not only the
medicine men but the people claim to
hold communion with the Chindi OF
spirits of their ancestors. They are
also great believers in omens, tails
mans and amulets, but are very con-
servative and it is with difficulty that
one gets them to discuss things super
natural. They will not talk about God
among their own people with familiar
ity, and scarcely at all with the white
man.

Repicides Unnnnished

Although nearly three years have
passed since the king and queen of
Servia were murdered by political con-
spirators, the murderers, or many of
them, are still unpublished. Great
Britain has refused to enter into dip
lomatic relations with the new king
so long as this condition exists. The
latest news from Belgrade is that the
king intends to retire the guilty army
officers as soon as possible. Naturally,
he has had to act cautiously, for he
knows that men who killed one king
would not hesitate long to kill an
other if an adequate excuse were pre-
scented.

lately completed in Pembroke. ". Y.
Partitions divide It into 100 compart-
ments each accommodating two trays.
The trays have wire bottoms and hold
40 eggs each. The incubator is heat
ed by means of coil of eight steam
pipes passing over the top of the egg
chamber on one side and returning on
the other. These pipes are connected
at one end with a water tank and
heater. The water flowing through
the pipes is heated TO exactly the right
temperature, a thermostat attached
TO the stove opening and closing the
drafts to make this possible. The only
attention required by the heater is
supplying 1t with coal night and
morning. The thermostat is an ex-
pansion tank which stands over the
heater The tank is filled with oil in
which is float. AS the heat of the
furnace warns the water in
the jacket surrounding the heater ex-
pands and the float rises This move
ment actuates throttle attached to
the fioat arm and shuts the draft of
the heater; another lever at the same
time opens the cold air draft of the
furnace. In this way the temperature
is automatically regulated with ex-
tremely little variation, the eggs being
kept at temperature of 102 degrees
Fahrenheit. A second novel feature
is that the heat of the eggs is regu-
lated by raising and lowering them in
the egg chamber, which is nearly a
root high inside. burlap separating 1t
from the pipes. The egg trays rest on
double frames hinged by galvanized
arms. AS the chicks develop the trays
are lowered on these supports, the
nrst drop being made in six days. and
Others at intervals, until on the TWEEN
ty-hrst day the trays are resting on
the bottom of the chambers

Cold from Electricity.

The direct production Of cold from
electricity Is a problem that electrical
engineers are considering. Something
may be done by connecting motor to
an air compressor and expanding the
compressed air into q cold storage
chamber. but this is costly and cum
brous. We may expect the electro
chemist to refrigerate by energy from
the electric supply mains through
some such direct method an q reversed
battery abstracting heat from the air.

The telegraph plant of India has a

while the other two smaller leaflets
move constantly, day and night, de-

rest for period and then 20 on

Among this class the symptoms OF
female diseases are early manifest by
weak and aching backs, pain in the

there are faint and dizzy spells, with
loss OF appetite, until life is a burden.
All these symptoms point to de-

Why Missouri Statesman Was Late

Ex-senator Cockrell probably is the
only man in Washington who ever
kept President Roosevelt waiting al
dinner 1t was one of the cabinet
dinners that were given by the sec
rotary of the interior and Mrs. Hitch
cock three years ago. The president
and Mrs. Roosevelt arrived in due
time, as did all the other guests eX-
copt Senator Cockrell.
After a delay of almost an hour
Mrs. Hitchcock invited her guests TO
the dinngroom and dispatched a
messenger to the residence of Sena-
tor Cockrell TO make inquiries Great
fear was felt that the Missourian had
started and had fallen by the way, as
the day was cold and wintry one.
The fact was, however that the sen
ator was sitting quietly at home when
the messenger got there, clad in his
dressing gown and slippers and con-
graduating himself that he could be
indoors. He had put the date OF the
dinner in his calendar in large and
attractive handwriting. but had for.
gotten to turn a leaf and was, ac-
cordingly. q day behind time. No one
