NEW RACE FOUND
N ALASKA wILDs.
The Simple Life-Skins Of Birds

is Unknown.

Philadelphia, Pa, Nov. 4.-Dr.
George B. Gordon, curator OF the
university OF Pennsylvsnia's arch
geological department, who has re-
turned after q six months expedition
through the widest regions of the
far northwest, announces the dis
covery Of a new race living along the
Koskokwim river In Alaska.
DR.. Gordon brings back strange
tale OF this new race, which had never
before sean white man, and which
differs from all other tribes OF Alas
kan Indians.
DR.. Gordon heard rumors OF the
race In 1905, aud after innumerable
hardshlps he reached the territory In
which the aborigines live In Adsmic
simplicity. They are called by the
Eskimos "Kuskwagamutes," and
show strong trace OF Mongolian an
cestry. Crime and vice is utterly un-
known among them and their relig
Ion is natural psntheism.
They know absolutely nothing OF
corruption and degeneracy with
which the whites have injected the
Athabascan Indians and Eskimos,
DR.. Gorbon lived for several months
among them.
Though they are dying out" DR.,
Gordon said, "they are strong and
clean physically aud intelligent,
They have retained the most ancient
characteristics OF dress and speech
In clothing, instead OF wearing iurs
they sew skins Of birds into robes
using the breasts ofloon and various
species OF ducks which abound In she
river"
OF their clothing, utensils, arms
etc, DR.. Gordon gathered collections
and when they arrive he and othel
ethnologists will try to discover
whether the tribe is OF Asiatic orfgil
or whether II migrated from Lowe
, California.
This new tribe is the only one il
Alaska which makes pottery, Dl
Gordon says. All the Others ar
basket weavers. DR.. Gordon believe
the race to be OF ancient Asiatic orr

Oriental Clubs.

The Oriental is passionately fond
of club life, and the smaller the de.
gree OF personal liberty he enjoys in
ordinary life the more intense Is his
enjoyment OF membership in some
brotherhood. 1t does not make very
much difference what the nature OF
the club may be; It is the mere Joy OF
club life, irrespective Of object or
principle, that appeals TO him. Hav.
ing once tasted this Joy, he will do
much rather than forego a continu.

The Color of Alpine Flowers.

The extraordinary purity and bright
ness of the colors of many Alpine flow-
ers-and the same is true of Arctic
ones-are well known. The vivid col
oring often extends to the whole part
of the plant above the ground, even the
leaves and stems being covered with
deep red or purple which masks the
chlorophyll green. DR.. Thorild Wulff
who has published his researches with
the Russo-Swedish Expedition in Spitz-
bergen, finds that the pigment-An-
thocyanin-which causes this color
is present in all Arctic plants, and
that 1t is connected with superiority
of sugar in their composition-in 9TH
er words, that the leaves of Arctic
plants are sugar leaves" The pur-
pose which the pigment serves is pos
sibly that of helping the plant to pass
the products which the leaves assimi-
late into its general system; or it may
be that the red and violet colors which
result from the accumulation Of the
pigment enable the plant to absorb
more radiant energy from the suns
| light, and thus help out its rather fee
BILE vital processes. Another interest
ing feature of Arctic PLANTS Is that
they are all of feeble transpiratory
powers-that is to say that the amount
of moisture exhaled from their leaves
is very small. AT hign temperatures
the Transportation rate falls. The Arc
tic plants, in fact. dare not make use
of the conditions which favor evapora-
ton, because their roots are unable
to absorb enough water to cover the
loss which would result .t

s the Hit That Counts"

it's The hit that counts" said
rtesl'eut Roosevelt recently to some
midahs nc target practice.
Yes boys; it's the hit that counts
everywhere. There is such thing
as honorable failure, but honorable
success is better. And, do you know,
my lads, that success is very much a
matter Of habit? The habit is usually
formed at school, and when once form
ed It abides. 1t is true that some boys
who were failures at school have sue
ceeded fairly well in after life, but
they succeeded not because of the fail
ure, but in spite of it; and failure is
always hard to overcome. On the con-
trary, you watch the lad who succeeds
in all his undertakings at school, in
the class room, in his examination, in
class room contests and in field con
tests, and If you will follow that lad
in his. after career you will be apt to
find a successful man. It's the habit
he has formed OF hitting and not miss
ing.-Richmond Times-Dispatch.

I'm not sure of that, but | do know
that this idea OF Bill Smiths was en-

There was a steep hill running
from our place up to the Boggs farm
at an angle of nearly forty.five degrees.
The bed of the road was shale rock,
powdered fine and as smooth as an
asphalt street In the winter the boys
and girls for miles around came there
to coast and during the sleighing sea-
son it was the livoliest spot in the
country. Well, one day Bill and |
were walking up the hill road on
visit to the Boggs boys, when all of a
sudden Bill stopped and said: Say,
Dick, isn't it a shame we can only
coast on this hill when there is snow

Hen and Horse Companions.

Henry Ransome, a farmer living
near here, has leghorn hen year
and a half old, which is never happy
unless it is near horse he uses for
general farm work. The attachment
is mutual and strong, and where you
find one you are pretty sure to find
the other.
A year ago last spring biddy made
nest in Dobbin's manger and re-
fused to get out. AS the horse offered
no objections. Mr.. Ransome left the
hen undisturbed, and in due time she
Matched out fine flock of chicks. 1t
was one of this flock that took
shine to Dobbin. At first the horse
didn't pay much attention to the little
to miss 1t when 1t was shut up in the
hen house, it was given the run Of
the barn.
When Dobbin went into the field to
work the chicken followed, always
keeping in sight of the horse, and
when the work was done it returned
and roasted on the headstill. This
kept up for many weeks, and all the
time the attachment grew stronger.
Finally, one day Mr.. Ransom's road
mare went lame, and he drove old
Dobbin to the village. Before start.
ing he shut up the hen, but she man.
aged to get loose and start in pursuit.
Helped by her wings she made fast

hope of capturing the animal. Great

bottom of the hole. He was gathering
rocks to pelt the captive to death

MOCHA AND JAVA
A Phrase Which Has Grown to be
Only a Tradition.

The United States imports about
| 000,000,000. pounds OF coffee yearly.
Some eight-tenths OF the supply comes
from Brazil, about one-tenth from
other South American countries, and
onetenth from Central America and
| Mexico.
The inportatons of Mocha coffee,
which takes its name from the town
of Mocha. at the southern extremity
of Arabia, are only about 2,O00,o0oo
pounds annually, and of Java coffee
only about 100000 pounds.
These quantities are so small as to
constitute only an infnitesimal pro
portion of the vast consumption OF
coffee in the United States. The av.
erage import value of South Ameri-
can coffee is about eight cents per
pound, compared with IL and l5
cents for coffee from Arabia and tho
East Indies.
Turkish and Egyptian traders go to
Arabia before the harvest and buy the
Mocha crop on the tree. They make
sure that it is not picked before ii is
perfectly ripe, and they attend to its
preparation themselves.
Such choice Mocha is marketed
largely through Cairo or Alexandria,
and "the osffee that reaches Mocha
and is exported from Alden Is only
what these merchants thought too
poor to buy"
In view of the fact that the best
Mocha never reaches this market at
all. and the notorious fact that for
years only an infinitesimal proportion
Of United States imports have been
from Arabia and Java, the official
statement sent out by the United
States Government is doubtless true
in declaring that the terms Java and
Mocha have now become mere charac-
teristics of quality and blend" But
1t would be difficult to frame any de-
scription of the characteristics OF
quality and blend which these terms
are supposed to represent.
AS a matter of fact, therefore, the
words Java and Mocha on a brand of
Coffee may usually be accepted as
equivalent to the words finest or
'Sest," or similar adjectives. Only ON
coffee which is positively known to
be the pure product from Japanese
plantations or from Arabian planta.
lions do these terms have any signi-
ficance.
There are not a few disinterested
coffee lovers who prefer some Of the
standard brands of Brazilian coffees
(Which constitute the great bulk con,
sumed in this country to genuine
Java or Mocha. A. E. Cans, who has
given much attention to this subject
maintains that most of the coffee
consumed in the United States Is
taken by the consumer in the belief
that 1t is genuine Mocha or Java. II
