The Teachers Output.

Teaching is essentially a giving of
oneself for others, a daily dying that
others may live, and yet renewing
ones life again that there may be
more to bestow the next day. No mat
ter how obscure and modest the place
may be where one is at work, If its op-
portunities are only utilized in the
right spirit it may be a center from
which the mankind Of the future draws
strength and health. The joy of the
teacher is that his ideas, his plans. his
dreams, live on in his pupils. Others
may jealousy guard their possessions.
The teacher takes pride in the abun-
dance Of his gifts. He does not talk
about patents and copyrights. 1t
pleases him to see his pupils give body
to his thoughts and derive pleasure
and profit from them. Teachers, as a
rule, are of the right spirit. 1t would
be a sad day for u country if they
were not. They give freely n grow
richer the more they give.-School
Journal.

The Farmer Grows Wiser.

you can't fool the farmer any more
on merchandise for his farm" said the
proprietor of an agricultural store as
he wrote down a large order for a GER
tain fertilizer. thine was when you
could sell a farmer anything in the
way of fertilizer and no questions ask
ed. 1t was a fat time for the manu-
facturers of fertilizers, but that time
soil must know all about what the
market offers for enriching crops. He
insists that he be given the formula
of every fertilizer on the market, and
he knows whether too much phOS-
phOruS, potash. etc, predominates. He
knows what his soil needs most; he
understands that certain crops de-
mand a certain sort of enrichment of
the earth and that other crops necessi-
tate an entirely different sort of an en-
richment. In the old days he'd dump
anything on his land and trust to luck
that things would grow all right; same
way with tools. He won't buy a farm
ing implement until he has some &C.
tual knowledge of its worth. It's all
because of the agricultural colleges
which spread agricultural information
gratis into the country towns, so that
a farmer can hardly help learning a
thing or two."-New York Press.

A QueeA story.

A city merchant once caused his
friends much sorrow by disappearing
in a strange fashion. He was last
heard of at his bankers, where he de-
posted nearly f2,O0O to his bank ac-
count. His subsequent whereabouts
were envelOped in mystery, and years
elapsed without any explanation be-
ing forthcoming. Ten years later his
wife was driving through a west end
district when she recognized in the
figure of a crossing sweeper some sem
blance to that of her husband. She
Immediately stopped her carriage and
found that the sweeper was indeed
her missing husband. He was in
clined to resent her persuasion to re-
turn to his home, but eventually sue
cumbed. He afterward explained that
he had amassed sufficient money to
keep his family in comfort, and, tor
mented by the fear that he might be
induced to speculate and lose the whole,
he determined to disappear and leave
them to it's enjoyment. He had lived
in common lodging houses and was
content in his adopted business Of a
crossing sweeper. Often he had seen
his wife pass him, and he had received
many coppers and small pieces of silver
from his family.-London Mail.

Mint and Money.

We all know that a place where
metal is coined is called a mint, but
why? Is it not a strikingly curious
fact that the two words mint and mon
ey are made from the same Latin
word? Yet it is not more so than
many other facts disclosed in the study
of etymolOgy. There is very COM
monty a close connection between the
history of events and the making Of
the words most prominent in the rec
ord of that history. Mint is the name
Of a place for making coins simply be-
cause when the need Of such a name
was first recognized the place used for
their making happened to be the Ro-
man temple of the goddess Juno, one
Of whose surnames was Moneta, said
to mean literally adviser" In Anglo
Saxon the word had two syllables-
mynet-which show its origin more
clearly than the m~onosyllable mint
does. Money Is called moneta in Ital-
ian and mOnnaie in French, and the
French name for a mint is "hotel des
monnaies."

A Great EaPth0uake.

Probably few people are aware that
the greatest earthquake our country
has experienced since it's settlement
was the % almost forgotten earth
quake Of New Madrid, the first ire
mors Of which took place on Dec. 10,
1911. Strange is that trait of human
nature by which even the most appall-
ing of natures manifestations slip
rapidly from the memory, SO that only
a hundred years later little but tradi-
ton remains of the earthquake which
changed the CONFORMATION of extern
sive areas Of the Mississippi valley.

Coal Output Breaks Record.

The month Of November was a rec
ord breaker for the Western Fuel COM
pany, of Nanaimo, B. c., in the way of
coal output. No less than 3S,044 tons
were taken from Number 1 and North
field mines, the former putting out
$4,000 tons and the latter putting out
a total of 1904 tons. The company
expects to increase this amount large
ly within the next so days. The da-
mand for the coal from the Nanaimo
collieries is at present greatly in ex-
cess of this output. The same condi-
ton prevails at Commox and Lady
smith, where there is a congestion OF
shipping owing to the heavy demand
for Vancouver Island Goals.

Advice to Teachers.

"Never try to teach what you do not
yourself know and know well. If your
school board insists on your teaching
anything and everything decline firmly
to do it. 1t is an imposition alike on
pupils and teacher to teach that which
he does not know. Those teachers who
are strong enough should squarely re-
fuse to do such work. This much need
ed reform is already beginning in our
colleges, and 1 hope it will continue. 1t
is a relic of medieval times, this idea
of protesting everything. When teach
ers begin to decline work which they
cannot 90 well improvements begin to
come in. If one would be a successful
teacher he must firmly refuse work
which he cannot do successfully

at the Pacific Coast League meeting
yesterday afternoon. where President
Bert is up for reelection. Morley charged
Bert with being incompetent but add
ed:
What became of the $40, 900 which
was sent by the eastern baseball clubs
for the Pacific Coast league after the
earthquake, and which was expected {
be used for the benefit of clubs which
suffered from the disaster? I know
that Bert never distributed the funds,
and I am not afraid to get up and
charge him with never accounting for
the money. Just so long as the league
keeps Bert at the head I will fight it
in every way that I can and I have
several things up my sleeve"

ed to Fresno's membership in the

A Robin Mt the Funeral.

A few weeks ago a little dog had to
be taken by force from the grave of his
mistress in Roydon ~churchyard. Eng
land. The affair has reminded the
bishop of Barking of al incident in the
same village when he was officiating
at the funeral of the late vicar. he
says: After the coffin had been placed
in the chancel and just as the service
was beginning a little robin hoped up
the center aisle, glancing to right ana
left at the villagers and mourners, and
finally alighted on the coffin, where as
the service proceeded he sung a rev
notes at intervals. 1 was told after the
service that the same little bird was a
net of the wears and was present IN
the church on several occasions n
among them when he preached his last
sermon before his death"

Rhodes and Belt.

Cecil Rhodes and Alfred Belt were
equally undemonstrative. A great
scheme of Rhodes was once cOllaps-
ing when Wernher and Belt came to
the rescue and saved it. Belt for his
frm-Wernher & Beit-took up the
obligations. Rhodes said simply,
That's all right" but the following
day, as Belt and he stood together at
the bar in the Kimberley club, he
abruptly asked the steward for half
a dozen promissory note forms, signed
them in blank and stuffed them into
Belts pocket, saying: you've backed
me. If things go wrong you'll want
mine too" In the ucces the notes
were forgotten by both and were hand
ed back some six months later.

DOGS OF ALASKA.


1Ae Native Mongrels the Indispsn.
sable Burden Bearers.
HE native dog is known as the
"huskie" OF ''malamoot'' and ia a
mongrel one-half timber wolf. He
has characteristics which especially fit
him for his work. He is heavy set, with
a thick coating of long hair, impervi-
Gus to cold and with just enough wolf
In his nature to make him restless,
eager to go, and with a sufficient mix
ture of dog to temper a fierceness and
q treachery which might and some
times do become dangerous. All
this is understood-in fact, carefully
studied and watched by the Alaskan
and those qualities which manifest
themselves in fidelity and g~entleness
are encouraged by kind treatment,
While the wolhsh side of their nature
is quickly and effectually subdued by
numerous w~hippingS. These animals
have not yet learned to express them
selves by barking, and the only noise
they can make is a dismal howl. Il
is a rare occurrence for them to bite
a human being. but they will fight
among themselves on the slightest
~prOvOcatiOn, and it is not an uncom-
mon sight for half a dozen 'huskies''
to hold a pitched battle on the main
street of Fairbanks. a bucket Of cold
water will generally put them to
fight, but in the majority of cases the
miners pay no attention to the melee
and allow the dogs to fight it out.
The wolf nature manifests itself in
their thieving propensities, and all
food must be cached" out Of their
reach. A hungry ''huskie" will open
a box of canned beef with ease by
biting through the tin. He will lie
before the door of a tent or cabin, pre-
tending to be asleep, when in reality
he Is waiting for a chance to ranSack
the kitchen. One day l saw a miners
dinner wrecked by his own dog, a
splendid, big, wolfsh fellow, who over
turned a pot Of beans and in the most
u~nconcerned walked off with
lhC uOl UdCOA ~ LIS llOulu. NO Iuuls
ter what depredations they may COM
NIT, severe punishment, so as to Grip
pie OF kill them, is out Of the question,
on account of their great value in the
transportation of supplies. 1t is an in
ferior dog that is not worth $40, and
many of them, say their masters, "are
not for sale"
Two good dogs car haul a man forty
or fifty miles a day on a good trail or
carry from 500 to 600 pounds Of freight
about twenty miles in six hours. They
are faithful to the last degree and will
work even when weak from lack Of
food. When in this condition, howev-
er, they sometimes become dangerous,
and should the driver fall he may be
attacked, but these instances are rare,
and more often the dog is sacrificed to
save his master from starvation.-Mrs.
G.. R. Miller in Leslie's Weekly.

IN A SHIPWRECK.


That IL the Time That Men ReaIl,
Com Eat Their Boots.
6hipwrecked persons have been kept
alive ON the most repugnant and un-
wholesome Of foods. Probably the
hardest fare that six strong men and
a boy of fifteen ever kept alive on was
the daily menu of the WindsOr's sur
vivors, who were cast up on the Irish
coast nea Killegg. They lived for six
teen days or stewed rope yarn.
When they took the ships small
boat they had water enough for u
month. but only a small amount Of
provisions. These lasted four days.
After having nothing at all to eat for
the following two days they tried
boiling lengths of tarred hemp rope
into pulp and swallowing it.
They had a keg of paraffin wax.
which they boiled to add to the our
ishment. The sickness they expert
enced as 4 result of the diet. says
What to Eat. was only temporary. and
they landed in comparatively good
health.
Captain Maboly of the foundered
steamer Gwaliorfi and his second of
icer created a record by living for
seventeen days on boot leather and Il
pint of water a day each.
OF course no teeth can tear cowhide
boots; they have to be cut up and
shredded with a knife and the shreds
chewed and swallowed. Boiling, even
when possible, it is said, does no good,
but takes from the nourishment of the
boots. A few ounces of leather, being
very hard to digest, stay the stomach
for fifteen or twenty hours.
A diet of boots and shoes is one of
the commOnest of last resource foods,
and, though it Is hard for a we'll fed
person to imagine that any one could
masticate and digest the leather, a
pair of long sea boots will keep a man
alive for a fortnight if he has a little
water.
Two men who went to a small island
off the Irish coast kept themselves 60
ing for ten days on a diet probably
worse than this. They landed in a
boat which was smashed by a wave on
their trying to relaunch her, and they
were kept ON the bare rocky island
without food.
Fortunately there was a spring on
the island, but nothing in the way of
sea gulls, which they could catch, and
nothing with which to make a fire as a
distress signal. There was not even
any shellish, as there was no beach,
and the pair had to subsist for ten
days on cold raw seaweed washed up
by the tide.
The best known and most useful of
starvation diets for wrecked or cast
away people. however, is that Of bar
nacles. Three Englishmen and a crew
of lascars who had been forced to
abandon the sailing vessel North Star
kept themselves going for more than
a week on barnacles, and only two of
the crew died.
The worst of this diet is that the
barnacles give one internal cramps
and cause an insufferable thirst, but
they do nOurish the frame. You have
to reach under the vessels side and
pull them off, taking care not to leave
the best half of them sticking to the
plankS.-LOndOn Standard.
