Phineas, suddenly disturbed from
his long and noisy nap, climbed out
with poor grace "The old man has
no business to send passengers over
land without escort. It's an outrage,
1t isn't my business to clear the road."
Here, come up here and hold the

called.
No! I sain't' trust my team with

But authority rang in Alfred's tone
The change had been made, and he
was already stalking after the driver.

The road here was a narrow rock

American Educational Methods.


Here is another tribute to the value
OF American educational methods. In
paper read by Sir William Henry
Preece, formerly president of the In,
stitution of Civil Engineers, before the
Royal Society Of Arts in London, the
speaker mentioned the difficulty if not
impossibility of making a comparison
between English and American meth
DDS, owing to the fact that the Ameri-
can boy possesses "the energy and
smartness Of a new race; the Euro.
,pean boy mentally is two years behind
him." This explained the difference In
,curricula and examination papers,
But 1t 10 American adaptation to these
different conditions which accounts for
the success of educational methods
here. Still further testimony to the
efficacy of American ideas is found in
the proposition from Germany that the
conversational style of teaching Ian
guages be put into practice by an OK
change OF American and German pro.
fessors, the American professors in
structlng German students by this
method, and vice versa. German edu-
Gators are alive to the practical de-
nands of the times, and appear to de-
rive much inspiration from the United
States.

Alaska Impossible to AutoIsts.

Alaska impossible to AutoIsts.
The New York to Paris AUTOMOBILE
@tsts have found speedy realization of
the prediction that when they reached
Alaska they would learn what bad
going actually meant. At least, the
only car which has yet gone thus far
has made the discovery. The Ameri-
can machine, which 1t was expected
would push on through the Alaskan
wastes to Nome, on the western side
OF the territory, there taking ship pas
sage to Siberia, is halted at Valdez. A
dispatch from that point to the news
paper which is behind the scheme says
1T Will be impossible to go through
Alaska. Experiments made under con-
ditions there, one feature being a
heavy snowstorm, shows there is
nothing but narrow trails, which can
not be negotiated" by the autos So
the whole outfit has been loaded on a
steamer which will return to Seattle,
and from that point vessel will take
the car and the party accompanying it
to Vladivostok. The dispatch from
Valdez says with refreshing frankness:
1T is impossible for any man who has
not seen the trail over which the mail
Is carried from Valdez to Fairbanks to
realize the conditions that exist today.
To consider making the trip across
Alaska in the face of such conditions
would be a dream of "a cgeechaco
siyass,' in the Chinook jargon, which
means the Alaskan tenderfoot." In the
opinion Of the Troy IN. " Times, this
outcome is not surprising, for at the
outset it was predicted in various quar-
tiers that no automobile could succeed
in getting through the Alaskan wilder
ness. Even the much-berated highways
OF New York state must appear like
hrst-class roads by comparison with
the Alaskan trails. And parts of ST.
IBERIA are likely to be not much better

Washing the Hair Brush.

A hair brush can be easily and

but some warm water and small
piece of soda Dissolve the soda in
the water and then dab the bristle

Rinse the brush well in cold water and
wipe it as dry as possible. Then set

hearse and hearse team, two cows and
many other things. The fremen
saved the horses, cows and the hearse'
the latter badly scorched, but the
barn and rest of the articles were
burned. It was the finest private
barn in the city.
The Meek residence was on fire sew
eral times, but was saved. No one
has any idea how the fire originated
as the barn first burned was not being
used except for a chicken and coal
house.
