HORSE A NOVELTY IN ALASKA.
Scroll Children of Nome-Amuse-
ments of the Winter Season.

ments of the Winter Season.
There are two churches at CouE-
Gil City, a Presbyterian and Catho-
lie. Esquimaux services are held in
the Presbyterian church every Sun
day In Nome there are four churches
and one public school The school
is attended by about twenty-three
children, practically all the young
sters in that towns. Mrs. Carter, the
schoOlma am, has three children of
her own said c. B. Heller to Wash
ington Star reporter in speaking "a
life in Alaska. The Government
pays one-half the expenses of TIE
school from the proceeds of the liquor
business. The white children in the
winter wear the fur suits khcrG. as
'parkas, and it is difficult to distin-
guish them from the young Esqui-
maux
''The first horse ever seen in the
Council City district was taken there
in 1900 and its value was placed at
$1,000. The Esquimaux had never
seen a horse before and had no
name in their language for such an
animal They soon learned to call
it by its English name For long
time the horse was regarded as quite
a curiosity by the natives.
The steamships that ply between
Seattle, Wash, and Nome frequently
become icebound in June and July and
delay and inconvenience is caused to
the passengers and shippers. Travel
with the States is cut off by steamer
from November to May, the first boat
usually leaving Seattle June /. In
the winter the mails are taken by
dog teams from Nome to Seward, in
southwest Alaska.
During the winter season at Ccun-
Gil City and Nome most of the min
ing ceases and the inhabitants have
to resort to many forms of indoor
amusement There are some dance
halls and much card playing, it is
said.
Most of the fresh meat used is
the flesh of the reindeer, which is
said to be sold in the market by
some of the missionaries. This meat
represents the increase in the Govern
ment herd of 1000 reindeer, the ami
mails having been sent to Alaska for
the sustenance of the Esquimaux.
The deer proved to be a failure as
mail carriers No animal has yet
been found that can supplant the ma
tive dog for drawing the sleds. These
animals in carrying the mails are re-
quired to make forty miles a day.
The dogs frequently make eighty
miles in a single day. The mail men
run behind their sleds. Were they
to attempt to ride in the vehicle, it
is declared, they would freeze to
death because of the extreme cold
and their inactivity. The annual in
crease of the herd of 1000 reindeer
is said to be about 80 per cent. This
is used as the fresh meat supply.
Mosquitoes are great pest in AL

Rooms Most In Use should Be Ar

Sunlight is natures most health-giv-

light is unhealthy and unsafe for hui
man occupancy, and 1t is necessary not
only TO have some sunlight, but to have
a. much of it as possible. 1t is. OF
course, not feasible to admit the direct
rays OF the sun TO every room OF a
house: the typical plan of all houses
is square or rectangular. and at least
one side of the house is entirely beyond
tie reach Of the sun.
The other three sides, however, can
receive more or less direct sunlight
and the problem of the plan Is thus re-

Noon ReaIlv MINI Hour

"Not many people know that what Is
celebrated as noon was originally at 3
p. IN. The reason for the change is
interesting" said a Columbia universe
ty philologlst the other day. Noon,
or 'nones,' as it was then known, was
the hour at which the monks said their
'nones,' which were prayers at the
ninth hour, or 8 O'Clock. The monks
reckoned time from the time of eating
breakfast at 6 o'clock a. m. That was
the beginning of their day. The monks
were not permitted to eat their dinner
until after they had said their 'nones.
This was long time for men who had
so much time to think of eating. They
were all very hungry at o'clock. By
and by some of them cut the time a
little short-prayed little earlier. As
time went on they clipped off enough
time to bring the eating hour in its
proper place. at midday, and 'nones' be-
came II o'clock instad of 3, even
though it meant the ninth hour"

BROKEN TIES.

No use to weep for broken ties;
Better soar onward toward the skies,
AS the silken thread that's broken
Is just a sample token
Of finer, stronger tie in silken gloss.
IL you've won that silken strand,
Know twas broke before the brand
OF your hearts own mold of true desire
Then be happy that twas done,
Helped you nearer to the one
Your ardent love stamped deep in fire.

APPLE ORCHARD CENTURIES OLD


| In Manzano, N. M, Planted by the
Spnniards.
The oldest apple orchard In America,
If not in the world, is In the center of
the ancient town of Manzano, eighteen
miles southwest of Estarcia, Torrance
County, n. NJ. Many of the trees are
more than six feet in circumference,
but all are still fruitful and vigorous,
although neglected for generations.
Little is known of the history of this
orchard, but the oldest inhabitants of
the valley of the Rio Grande remem-
Der the orchard from childhood, and
claim that the trees have not changed
in appearance since then. Venerable
Mexicans and Pueblo Indians tell of
visiting the orchard as far back as they
can remember, and finding apples on
the ground In all stages OF decomposl-
ton at least two feet deep.
The Estancia Valley has been peo-
pied for ages, probably by the kns-
lnen of the natives found by the Span
ish explorers at Gran Quivira, Abo and
other ancient cities. Probably in the
early days of the Spanish occupation
some Franciscan monk found his way
to Manzano and there planted tine seeds
that have developed into these veneer
able trees. They are no doubt fully
800 years old.
Close by the orchard is a little lake,
fed by large spring Il short distance
away is a grove of pines and cedars,
making an ideal place for picnic and
camping parties.-Kansas City Star.

MAIL CARRIERS
 HAVE RESIGNED

Butte, Mont, Mar. 1.-The mail carriers of this city will quit work in body this afternoon as the re- quest which they made for in- creased pay met with pointblank refusal at Washington. Two weeks ago they rendered their resignation to Postmaster Irwin stating they would quit work today unless the government saw fit to raise their pay, being unable to live on the present wages. The salaries for carriers in this city is from $4oO to $500, the latter figure being the maximum obtainable after a num- ber of years service the carriers in their petition to Washington stated that the cost of living in Butte was higher than in any other city or town in the United States and that the cost was increasing instead of diminishing.

RAILROAD APPOINTS
 FORESTER

Philadelphia, Pa, Mar. 1.-The first forester to be appointed by an American railroad took up his du- ties today. He is E. A. Sterling, formerly assistant forester in the department of agriculture at Wash ington and has been appointed by the Pennsylvania railroad to look after the millions of trees already planted by the company and supre-- intend the planting of millions more. Mir. Sterling will immedi- ately start the planting of six hum dred and eighty-one acres, near AL toona, with chestnut and red oak seedlings. The railroads in this country are each year using about one hundred and ten million cross ties. and of these the Pennsylvania alone uses about five million five hundred thousand. The demand has been so great that forests have been denuded and the prices of ties has now reached a price never be- fore known-7O cents each. The Pennsylvania railroad will now com- mence to plant trees systematically to furnish cross-tie supply for fu- ture years.

 DUMONT'S AIRSHIP

New York, N. Y., Mar. L.
 The sale will take place at the Custom House this afternoon of the airship which Santos Dumont ex- hibited at the St. Louis exhibition in 1904. As is customary with ex- hibits of this kind, a bond was de- posted with the customs authorities whereby the machine was granted free entry for period of six months, at the expiration of which time it was assumed that the ship would be returned to France. Such, however, was not the case, and for some reasons unknown to the GUS toms officials the ship was stored in warehouse in St. Louis at the close of the exhibition. It remain ed there until last week, when it was forwarded to this city, consigned to the seizure room at the appraisers warehouse as abandoned merchan- disc. It is expected that the ma l chine will be purchased by some of the members of the Aero club.

"ORANGE DAY"
 IN THE WEST

Los Angeles, Cal, Mar. l.-The movement for making the first day of March Orange Day. which was started by the Riverside Chamber of Commerce, is meeting with suc- cess for in large number of cities and towns in the western states the suggestion that everyone should eat an orange today, in memory of their brother-men who are producing the fruit in California, has been adopt ed. Tn their appeal for the celebra- tion of the day, the producers called attention to the virtues of the orange. it's fragrance, deliciousness, and of course it's health-giving prop critics. The producers figure that if about half the people of the United States observe the day there would he nearly 5O,OOO,0OO oranges eaten or practically 1000 cars; or in oth- CT words , per cent of the entire crop output. In the event of only half the people carrying out the suggestion 300 cars would be con- sumed, but the orange men cannot see why goodly number of patri- otic neople will not eat five oranges today intead of one.

SPORTSMAN'S SHOW.

New York, Mar. 1.-The seventeenth
 annual sportsman's show was opened in the Madison Square Garden today and is, perhaps the most interesting of it's kind ever held ill the United
 States. It is being held under the auspics of the National Sportsman's association and is strictly show for sportsmen with the side shows elim- dnated. The general plan of the show has been improved since last year as "a result of the combined suggestions of scores of the most noted sportsmen in the country who know all about sports and the features that interest sportsmen. Special features have been added and new faces from newly developed hunting grounds in all sec tions of the United States, Canada and Labrador can be seen. Each camp is built in the garden as it is in it's na
 tive field and the guides at each camp are those whom hunters meet each year, and who are perfect mines of in formation about their own territory
 The knowledge of the guides and their willingness to impart it cheerfully to visitors is an interesting and import ant feature as it enables visitors to the show to gain an accurate knowl- edge of virtually all parts of the coun- try that could not otherwise be gained o al ada, Wyoming, Nova Scotia, Texas
 Maine, California, Kentucky, Mexico and Labrador are among the sections represented by white and red hunters. The railroads in the country that tap the hunting sections have an interest ing exhibit of trophies and firearms which are of particular interest to visitors. Live game from many sec tions give the Garden an outdoor at mosphere that is very pleasing. The great garden has been transformed from common exhibition hall to a veritable panorama of sporting life with it's decorations of balsam frs, it's log cabins, tents, Indian tepees and camp fires. Besides the game there is a wonderful exhibit of tarpon from Florida, large tank filled with the treasures of the New York aquarium and exhibits from the New York Zo- ological garden. In the center of the garden there is a great lake with an island in the middle.
