It makes very pretty orns- meut and one beaten out of silver coin by 8 native silversmith will doubtless come ss uoar bringing good luck to the wearer.

 Found among the relics Of sll ages and peoples, from time lmmemorlaI the Swastiks has been considered ss tslis- man: charm, to drive away evil, and bring good luck, long life and prosperity to the wearer.

SrUpx1Ne ALASKAN INDIANS

Some women of Nome have 8 society for the purpose of studying and consid' erlns the Alaskan Indian question. The scope of the sOciety's work in' eludes investigation as toithe capacity oi the Indians, their susceptibility to training, their habits, temperament and Industry, the methods Of the mission aries in handling them and their pro- sress under these methods. The so- ciety has devoted Ia good deal of time 70 original research, and 1t has under taken to care for many of the Iudiaus iu the ueighborhood of it's city.
 The result up to the present time O! the seeiety's investigations has been to reach the conclusion that the Indians are capable of being made self-sustain' Ing and useful. But It is urged that they are ss children and should have many years of training iu the ways oi civilization. The society isvors the plan of having government agents over them to teach them to worK, to keep clean, to build houses and to husbBnd their resources.
 The result of ths investigation of the women of Nome is 8 conclusion al which practical men who have lived long in Alaska almost without excep Elop have arrived. It's soundness i: Attssted to by the success of the Mtela kahtlS Indians where the method: recommended have been given pract SAl sxempli6cstion.

ARMY AND NAVY SHOULD BE
 THE BEST

President Roosevelt, in speaking to the sailors on the United States battle ship Louisiana, said, ''The fighting force of the nation must be maintained h time ol peace. It cannot be attained after the beginning of war"
 Is ahould be agreed by everybody that the president is right. So long as nAtIons look upon the arbitrament of Arms as the last resort for the settle ment of their di8erncss so long will It be necessary for this country to be pre- pared for the worst. We do not require a large an army ss does France, or Germany, or Russis,o or any of the other countries less isolated than are the United States, but we should have 8 well equipped and well trained fOGce large enough to make up strong army of Invasion should the occasion 10 make WAT in defense of our rights arise. LIkewise should the navy be kept up to the highest point of efficiency and strong enough to afford protection to American interests everywhere. The pay and treatment of officers and men in the Arry and navy should be sufd- cisnt to get and hold theTery best talent In the country. Our fighting force should be the best of It's size in Ehe world
 To say this much Is not to urge mak- Ing the United States a military nation ia the sense that the nations of Europe are. An effective army of 100000 men, o, thereabouts (lt is 5000 now and 8 navy continuing to grow at the same ratio ss our navy has been growing dur ing the last score of years could not, under any circumstance, cause the growth Of sn unhealthful military spirit among 5000, 900 of Americans, and it would put the country in condition to maintain it's rights in almost any emergency until larger army could be organized 10 reinforce it.

porous as 1t Is To-day.
Never before in all the country;s his
tory has it been so prosperous as it is
at the opening of 1906, says Leslie's
Weekly The products of its farms for
1905 amounted to over $6,OOO,OOO,OOO
This is not only several times larger
than the products Of any other country,
but it marks gain of $250,000,00 over
the highest previous record in the United
States, which was for 1904. The yield
of the country's farms in 1905 equaled
the country's aggregate wealth of all
sorts for 1916. The country's gold mines
furnished $9O,000,O0O for 1905, which
was 100000 in excess Of the largest
previous year, and double the output of
1895. Its mineral products of all sorts
for the year aggregated $500, 100000,
which is twice that of 1899 and four
times that of 1886 In gold production
in 1905 we ltd the world, except the
Rand, in South Africa. In mineral out
put in the aggregate we exceed that of
Great Britain, Germany and France.
For 1905 the country's foreign trade
passed the $2,5OO,000,O0O mark for the
first time, but our domestic trade was
UNNECESSARILY in excess of this, being
far above $20,O00O00 We produced
22,5OO,0O0 tons of pig iron in the year,
or as much as our three nearest COM
petitors combined-Great Britain, Ger
many and France In manufactures, in
which we have had a precedence over
England since 1880, and have been in
creasing our lead ever since, the coun-
try has been particularly active in the
year. The country's railroads, which
exceed those Of all Europe in mileage by
about 20 per cent, have been scoring new
records in earnings and activity. More
than $3,500,O0O,OO0 has been added to
the wealth of the United States since
Jan. /, 1905, bringing the total up to
$112, OO0,0OO,00O, which exceeds that of
any other two countries in the world put
together.
