People of the Arctic.

These people of the White World,
these chilren of the snow and ice,
give themselves little concern regard
ing what is going on in worlds be-
yond their own. The climate in
which they live and the Limitations
OF their whole environment make it
Impossible, writes j. l.. Harbour in
Leslle's Weekly, that there should
be much change in their own manner
of life, and they do not care for the
changes that soap and water might
make in their domestic life, while
the women of the family are not anxi-
Gus to adopt changes in methods Of
cooking that might make some of the
dishes they prepare much cleaner and
far less deadly than they appear to
be. But the best-Hlled larder in the
homes of the most affluent of the
Eskimos offers but little in the way
of variety in food, and the question
so vexing to the American housewife.
"What shall we have for breakfast?"
or for dinner, or supper, never
troubles the Eskimo housewife, since
these meals may not very for months
at time, and are prepared in the
primitive way in which they we're
prepared by the Eskimos of genera
tions and generations ago.
The dress of the women and the
men is so much alike that if an Eski-
mo lady 8 husbands clothes happened
to be better than her own she might
borrow them to wear to some Eskimo
society function without exciting
any comment as to her dress.
AS in some ether lands, the man is
regarded as a being vastly superior
to the woman, and the birth of
girl Is never regarded as blessing.
Indeed, it often happens that both
father and mother resort to the un-
availing folly of tears and lamenta-
tions when it is announced that
newcomer is a girl. A boy can be-
come great fisherman or a great
bunter, while girl-ot what use is
sheY a mere cumberer of the earth,
regardless OF the fact that she works
as many hours a day as, and even
more than man when she reaches
the goal of her ambition and marries.
N Not to marry is as sad a misfortune
as may Defall her, and it she is
married and widowed she makes all
possible haste to securing second
partner.

FATHER AND DAUGHTER
FORM A MANY SIDED FIRM

In the recorders office there has
been filed an agreement between
Henry PerrIcone, living at Knights
Ferry, and Mrs Rosalie CHINO Morlte.
It's provisions are peculiar. In brief
they specify:
Father is to employ daughter. who
was divorced from her husband two
years ago, tor term of five years,
her compensation the first year to be
$500. Any time during the other
four, she will have the privilege of
receiving wages or lease the ranch in
lieu thereof. Should she elect she
can instead of either plan, form q
partnership with her father, shares
in the property, which is the Dingley
farm, to be equal. In case the place
is sold she is to receive $1,000. Should
there be a dissolution of the con-
tract, she is required to purchase a
home to be not less than one mile
from Sonora or within distance OF
fifteen miles of either San francisco
or Los Angeles.
Following this condition, should
the ranch be sold, the father is tc
make his home with her, he to pay
all bills for goods and groceries.
While on the farm she is obliged tC
maintain, at all times, five hundred
chickens. IT she Iemarries, her salary
is reduced to Sl75 per annum. Should
she rewed her former husband or take
a drinking or immoral man she can
cells all the terms OF the contract.
She is deprived of the privilege oi
having both her daughters with hel
at the ranch. They shall take turr
about and their board shall be free Il
them.
Before there can be change il
the agreement 1t will have to b'
ordered by arbitration and it canno
he assigned unless both consent. 90

HE SILENCED HER.

Dinner had been over only ten
minutes when Jones made a move
down the hail for the hall tree and
his hat, and the long suffering Mrs
Jones followed after to say.
You have been out every night for
a month. How long is this thing to
last?
"Only until the campaign closes,
my dear"
"But l don't see that it is necessary
for you to be out every night until
midnight. Last presidential election
you were not out single evening.
In fact, you said the men who were
whopping around nights were a pack
of soft heads. %"
$50 they were dear, but last canl
paign is not this campaign. Last
campaign things ran themselves, and
there was nothing for the patriots to
do. Now the country calls upon
every one of them. Mrs Jones, the
very life of our country is hanging
in the balance.
'The bulwarks of liberty are totter-
ing to their fall.
"Shall this country be ruled by
PARROTS or traitors?
"Is Bunker Hill to go for nothing,
and are our Liberties to be sold for t
mess of pottageP
"Shall l stand supinely by and see
this great and glorious country go tC
destruction, or shall lead the move
ment to still further eXalt herr
"Shall the American eagle still
continue Ito soar on pinions proud
and Old Glory wave in every breez'
that blows, or shall the bird become
crow and the flag dishcloth?'
"Why, Thomas, is it as bad a
that?' asked the wife in alarm.
'It's worse. The next gale tina
sweeps from the North
"Then hurry right along and b
gone as long as you want to. -
And Jones went down to his clu
and played poker until 3 O'Clock mex
morning.

How Thinas Are Reversed in Japan

In Japan the natives have a habit
of reversing nearly everything,
according to our accepted ideas OF
how things should be done. thus, a
Japanese workman pulls the plane
toward him, a blacksmith blows the
bellows with his feet, the cooper holds
tubs with his feet, and nearly every
one sits down to work. Horses are
put in their stables reverse way, for
the horses flank is where his head
should be. japanese screws screw
the other way, and Japanese locks
lock to the left.

PAPER FROM coRNsTALKs.

Following closely on the publication
of many articles of late pointing out
the rapid disappearance of timber sup
plies suitable for the manufacture OF
print paper comes an announcement
from the chemists Of the United States
department of agriculture at Wash
ington that Il process has been discov-
cred whereby the c0rnstaikS which
are at present wasted at the rate of
millions of tons annually may be con-
yerted into an excellent quality OF
paper. The first practicable samples
of the new cOrnstalk paper have been
manufactured by DR.. Bristol, chlef
chemist of the department, and his as
sistants. The experiments have been
carried to tie point of making five
shades Of paper. One grade is dark
gray. thick and heavy, like parchment
and almost as tough as sheepskin
The white is made from the hard out
side shell OF the stalk and the yellow
grades from the pith. The latter have
il much langer fiber and resemble the
parer made from linen rags or cotton,
being soft and pliable. The process Of
manufacturing the new kind of paper
is said to be much simpler than that
involved in reducing wood pulp to
paper, the stalks needing but two o"
three hours cooking, while wood pulp
needs cooking four or five times as
long. The experimenters predict that
when the manufacture of the new
kind of paper is started on a large
scale it will be at least so per cent
cheaper than the paper at present
made from wood pulp.

A PRACTICAL CAMPAIGN.

The Audubon Society of America,
whose members are intensely interest
ed in the protection Of bird l1fe, has
decided on plan Of campaign for the
future differing radically from that
followed in the past. Heretofore the
appeals of the society for assistance
in the good work which they are try
ing to do have been largely on the ba-
sis of sentiment-humanita and
aesthetic reasons-rather than on that
expressed in terms Of dollars and
cents. The campaign which the So
ciety has laid out has In view setting
before the farmer, orchardist, railroad
and business man the enormous an
nual financial loss sustained through
insect damage, rendered yearly more
threatening as result of the ruthless
destruction of bird life. Last year, ac
cording to figures compiled by the So
ciety, the money loss to the various
insect damage aggregated $S00,000,000
In connection with these figures they
cite the fact that the federal govern
ment doles out the pitifully paltry sum
of $4,000 to investigate and educate
the people on this all important topic.
The Audubon society has struck the
right gait in getting on to the basis of
tie cash loss to business interests rs
compelling motive il bird protection.
and it goes without saying that it Will

of the Mountain.
Halabi, the founder Of Islam, was
born at Mecca in the year A. d. $40.
He died June 8, 632, at the age Of sew
enty-two. He assumed the titular
name Of Mohammed, which means, ac-
cording to some authorities, the 'pre-
dicted Messiah"
One Of the most eXtravagant rela-
tions which can be found in any IAN
guage is credited to Mohammed.
Speaking of the sights he beheld when
transported to heaven" he says: II
saw there an angel, the most gigantic
of all created things. 1t had 10000
heads, each head had 10000 faces, each
face had 10000 mouths, each mouth
had 10000 tongues and each tongue
spoke 10000 languages. All were en-
ployed in singing Gods praises"
When Mohammed first announced
his divinely inspired and appointed
system the Arabs demanded super
natural proofs of his commission.
''Moses and Jesus" said the Arabs,
wrought miracles in the testimony
Of their divine authority. And if thou
art indeed prophet Of God do so like
wise.''
1T would be tempting God to do so,' -
replied Mohammed, "and bring down
his anger, as in the case Of Pharaoh"
AS the story is told in Brewers
"Phrase and Fable" the Arabs were
not satisfied with this answer, and
Mohammed then commanded one OF
the numerous eminences near Mecca
to come to him. The mountain moi
stirring at Mohammed's bidding, the
prophet exclaimed: "God is merciful!
Had the mountain obeyed my words II
would have fallen on US to our de.
struction.
II will therefore go to the noun

the lease on which the farm was rent
cd were for five or more years instead
Of one. as is too often the case. The
one year renter naturally feels that he

cannot be realized until the following
year. Likewise the landlord justifes
himself in doing as little as he is re-

when he knows that his tenant intends
to remain but year and IS bent Oh
skinning the land to the limit and
would not be in mood to appreciate
improvements the benefit from which
would extend over period of more

to be seen that the long term lease is

lord and far and away the best thing
for the farm in which each has q mu
