The Eskimos' Real Santa Claus.


Sheldon Jackson, an official employ
ed by the United States bureau of ed
ucation to work in the wilds of Alaska,
carried Christmas to the Eskimo chill
rden there In 1894. He gave a deep
ly interesting account Of how he did
1t in report to the bureau.
For several days Immediately pre-
ceding Christmas" he said, Il took
occasion to tell the scholars how It
was observed by the whites, and ex.
planned some features about the day

guage would admit Of; 80 that, by
the close of school the day before,
they pretty well knew why it was OBJ

Claus, and for them to tie their fur
stockings up near their beds; as he
was coming to visit them for the first
time, and would remember every

Of empty flour sacks, and into each
one put eight cubes of white sugar,
about q dozen pieces of dried apples
and q dozen raisins-n0t very ap-
propriate assortment for a Christmas
present for a white child, but it was
the best we hid, and II Efound out aft
erward that the selection was very
much appreciated by the little Es-
kimO.
although our supplies were very
limited, I concluded to take enough
from such as we had and give each
family the same assortment. It was
made up of tin can filled with flour,
eight navy biscuits, one pint Of
rice, one-half pound of sugar and one.

houses in the village, and about 100
persons all told The supplies above
enumerated were made up into ten
packages.
II had the herders harness one Of
the deer teams to q sled, and at II
O'clock started with four natives for
the village, a half mile west Of the
station.
when VIC reached the first house,
I took fashlight view Of the deer

The BIessedness Of civino.

The tremendous benefactions of
Carnegie and Rockefeller are having
the effect, we are told, of giving the
small-fry philanthropists cold feet and
soaring them out of the game, until
it comes to pass that the man who has
only the beggarly 100000 or so, to
bestow, eyinces a decided disposition
to buy fun less expensive, If likewise
less intense with his money. This
goes to suggest that philanthropists
are but flesh and blood, after all, and
banker not to enter in race where
they are to be not only beaten but
distanced at the post The widows
mite is unexceptionable, of course,
and it seems pity that nobody hears
the widows name laundering down
the ages.-Puck.

little girl who in all sincerity gave her
a reply that was not likely to make
her vain. Would you like to teach
children when you become a young
lady?" was the question Nom" was
the empahtic reply. What would you
like to do?" persisted the teacher.
IF I am pretty I'll be an actress, +"
came the answer. But suppose you
are homely?" asked the teacher.
We'll, then, of course I'll have to be
a teacher" said the child.-Philadel-

The death of Mr.. Reddick was fol-

automobile trip on which he met his
fate and saw him slain. She was just

Cause of Accident Mystifies.
The cause of the accident which re-
suited in the death of Mr.. Reddick is
somewhat of a mystery. The road on
which it occurred was as smooth as a
city boulevard. The machine was run
ming about twenty miles an hour along
tits stretch of road, when it suddenly
veered from its course and began to
skid as it was turning a curve. Then
one of the tires exploded and the car
started to overturn. Mr.. Reddick, who
had been riding on the front seat, was
pitched head first from it into a ditch
/ The other occupants. Mrs. Reddick, Mr..
and Mrs. William Wells and Mr.. and
Mrs. Charles Taylor, were also thrown
out. They fell some distance away
from the machine but Mr.. Reddick was
caught under it. His neck was broken
and death was almost instantaneous.

RAT DOES TRAPEzE ACT.
Walks Telegraph Wire, Beset by Spar
rows Until the End.

A gray rat walking along an electric
wire 80 feet above the ground foT
many blocks furnished a novelty OF
West Baltimore street The feat
which excels that of any trick rat ever
exhibited in a show, would seem a
dream of the Imagination but for the
fact that the spectacle is absolutely
vouched for by thousands of persons
who watched the strange sight from
six o'clock until eight Beset by a
number Of English sparrows, which
seemed to take a fiendish delight in at
lacking the badly handicapped rodent,
he at times varied his steady gait
along the wire by acrobatic perform
ances calculated to ward off the at
tacks of the birds. He would sit up
on his launches on the slender wire,
no larger than a lead pencil, and re-
connoiter before continuing his hap
less journey from pole to pole After
d most gallant fight for life, which de-
served a better recognition under the
rules of fair play, the unfortunate ami
nal was finally knocked from the wire
at Carrolton avenue and Baltimore
street and dispatched by a dog. Just
how the rat got on the wire in the first
place has not been satisfactorily ex-
planned, but it is thought that dog
chased him somewhere-somep persons
say as far east as the neighborhood OF
Howard and Baltimore streets-and
forced him to run up pole.-Balti

Power Of the Waves

The power of waves. says NJ. Broun-
in. in La Nature, is the sum of two
efforts, one dynamic and due to the or
bital movement of the water particles.
the other static. and dependent on the
height of the center of gravity of the
mass raised above its normal position.
Theory and observation seem TO show
that the total power of waves is d.
yided equally between these static and
DYNAMIC effects. If a body Of water
meets the wall of a structure there is
a shock, and this is most violent at
the water surface, diminishing with the
depth At the moment Of meeting jets
of water rise sometimes 70 very great
heights.
