THE YOUNGSTERS OPINION

The well-known business man in Bel
fast who married the other day for
the second time has a bright boy of
II who should eventually climb to the
top of the tree.
On his return from his honeymoon
with his blushing but not too beautiful
bride, the gentleman in question
promptly set out to make the lady and
his son acquainted.
my boy" said he, beaming his best
and brightest upon his precious off
spring "this is your new mother"
For a few seconds the youngster sub
jected the lady to a most critical ex-
animation, and then, Il say, father,
said he.

THE ROYAL CHILDREN IN THE
HIGHLANDS

The late Queen Victoria's enthusiasm
for the Highlands and her warm affec-
ton for the Highlanders have been
inherited in no small degree by her
youthful descendants-the children OF
the prince and princess of Wales. None
of their homes is dearer to them than
the unpretentious, whitewashed High
land castle of Abergeldie, little more
than a glorified farmhouse, situated SO
enchantingly amid heather-clad noun
tains by the side of the Dee, and no
where is life so free and untrammeled
sa there in the midst of exquisite sur
roundings and air that sharpens the
appetite of the sturdy denizens of royal
school room and nusery.-The Ladies'
Field.

real primitive people whose chief BUSH
ness in life is the st uggle for exis-
tence 1t is always a case of food with
them. They live in skin tents, igloos,
their clothing consists entirely of skins
and the best part of their waking hours
is spent in the pursuit of the animals
that supply skins as well as food. Seal,
walrus, sea otter and various kinds of
fish are the staple article of diet of the
Sealmen. The Deermen use some fresh
water fish and much deer and bear
meat, found on the tundra; wild fowl
and their eggs give some variety. Since
first coming in contact with the white
man, about sixty years ago, they have
learned to like hard bread, sugar and
black tea. The latter is the result of
the Russian influence, as green or
Japan tea is not allowed in Siberia,
These articles are great delicacies, as
the traders visit them but once year.
The community idea is strong with
the Siberians. If the food supply of
one family runs out the others contrib
ute with no thought of remuneration.
If hunter strays away from his tribe
he is privileged to draw upon the food
supply of such other tribes as he runs
across. And in this connection it
might be mentioned that intertribal
wars are unknown. All live in peace
with each other and with their neigh
bors.
Reincarnation is one of their beliefs
The soul of the male passes into the
next male child born in that family,
and so with the females. Their re-
ligion is one based on fear, they know
of no supernatural power but that OF
the devil. Thus they make all their
prayers to his Satanic majesty to pro-
pitiate him.
Sacrifices of blood are made to the
devil whenever a member of the family
takes a journey, goes on hunting
trip or is about to perform an import
ant act such as marriage. Live an
mails are stabbed and the blood allowed
to drain over the feet of the person
for whom the sacrifice is made. When
this party of Siberians left the Arctic
the sacrifice was one of the greatest
ever known in that country.
The Siberians along the Arctic are
not afraid of a rifle. When the white
man first penetrated into the frozen
northern seas they carried rifles and
the natives soon became accustomed to
them and now they will handle one
without fear. But at first they certainly
must have thought it was the EVIL
One. In the Baber party are five mea
who were rich enough to own rifles.
The weapons are never used except TO
kill bear and walrus. Deer are shared
and strangled to death. Seal and otter
are harpooned Birds and small ground
animals are shared. 1t is the practice
never to bleed an animal when killed
as the natives believe ood-drainec
meat is unfit to eat. That accounts
for their never shooting any except thu

included. The one who has made the
nearest approach to 1t is Pay Inspector
John A. Mudd. In paper which Is
published in the naval institute. this
distinguished officer says that of the
hundred millions annually approprl-
ated for the navy's support $lS,000,000
in round numbers is spent to pay the
wages Of labor in navy yards.
This amount, says the pay inspector,
is nearly equal to what 1t costs to sup.
port the fleet in commission. The &C.
counting for the actual disbursement
OF these eighteen millions is thorough,
too thorough, perhaps. The accounting
for why the money was spent is
simply the unregulated and generally
unexamined show OF results, with lit
tie or no proof that the results equal
the values expended.
For the fiscal year OF 1906 he adds
that the cost OF maintaining all ships
then in commission was $23 1855, 950.H.
Returns for this year show that there
was spent for repairs to hulls, ma
$3.50, 30901. Thus the total cost of
tho floating part OF the establishment
during the year, excluding cost of new
construction (s31,7Gi,556.5S alone)
was s29, 206, 25942. 1t cost during the
