When good luck comes with meat or
fish in plenty they dry and smoke a
large quantity and put it in log pens
where nothing can get to 1t. This pen
Is called a cache.
These Indians kill fur at all times
of the year, except directly after SELL
ing their winter catch in March; after
that they have plenty to eat, so what
is the use Of trapping? They lie around
camp and smoke.
"One lad about 20 years Of age shot
a black fox and sold 1t for $500. 1t
was worth $1,000 or $1,000. He
bought 5000 worth Of calico, tobacco by
the caddy and two blankets at $50 each.
This young man, a full blooded Indian,
could talk little English, wore hat,
coat and vest, short breeches with knee
had watch and chain and
a new model Winchester rifle. They
are inveterate gamblers and will lose
their last cent at cards and don't care,
but keep coming to the limit"

HOW THE ARAB TRAVELS.
Covers Miles of Desert by Never Wor-
rying Himself.

Covers Miles Of Desert by Never Wor-
ryins Himself.
It Is most interesting to note the
way the Arab treats his faithful
friends, says London Field. So in
ured, indeed, is the Arab pony by
long usage and descent to the manner
of life in the desert that even my own
pony positively improved on the treat
ment and I never saw him so fit as
when he came back from the trip.
If the Arab and his horse are by
legend closely allied, they are, in
point of fact, even more intimately
connected. His mount is his first
thought, and at times by far the most
interesting topic Of conversation. He
is ungroomed, unclipped, unhaltered,
for the Arab prefers to shackle him
by means Of two ropes, short cord
connecting the fore and hind fetlocks
and a long line lettering him above
the hind fetlock to peg in the
ground Thus he can move about or
roll at leisure, and should there be
any rough herbage at hand can for
age for it.
Perhaps one Of the principal rea-
sons why the Arab so excels at long
journeys is that he never worries
himself nor does he ever distress his
mount unless there is real cause to do
so. He simply continues steady
walk all day and hardly ever gallops
in the wild way in which one so often
sees him depicted by artists. His
horse being in thoroughly hard con-
dition owing to the quantity of sound
barley he is getting, does not perspire
profusely unless unduly pressed; thus
he can stand very long days without
undue fatigue. Even these people
seldom go far afield alone, but make
up in parties Of dozen or more, fully
armed, when their point is far dis
tant.

On Badness.

II has been discovered recently that
there are no bald-headed men IN
our insane asylum. Other interest
ing facts about bald people are the
following:
You never see a bald-headed man
wearing his own hair.
No one ever saw a red-headed paio
man.
Most bald men keep their hair In
their wifes name.
No bald-headed woman has ever
been known to admit it.
Bald-headed men never appear IN
public with their hair marcelled.
If everybody was bald from birth
the haircutting industry would be par
alyzed.
If a man loses his hair no amount OF
advertising will restore 1t to him.
No woman was ever drawn to
bald-headed man by capillary attrac-
tion.
Badness cannot be cured by hav-
ing your hair pulled, as you can cure
toothache by having tooth pulled.
The bear has more hair to the square
inch than any known animal, and yet
there is nothing in the world that Is
barer than a bald head.
There are other interesting facts
about badness no doubt, but none OF
them occur to us at this moment so
we will content ourselves with saying
in conclusion that the head Of bald
man in the front row Of the modern
theatre shines like good deed in a
naughty world.-Harpers Weekly.

YUKON INDIANS DYING OUT.
Not Like Other Tribes-Have the
Color and Beard of a Jap.

Not Like Other Tribes-have the
Color and Beard of Jap.
THE Yukon Indians are fast passing
away" writes trapper in Fur News:
1.-The squaws are living, the children
increasing apparently, but among the
men, old and young, you hear the hol-
low cough of lung trouble.
1.-The Pelly River band had In 1899
twenty children, twenty squaws and
fourteen men. That winter ten Of the
men died Of pneumonia. You see the
Hudson Bay brand among them too, a
great scar across the neck and throat,
where the old scrofula has healed up.
More than one-half Of the adult In
dians on the coast have this brand,
called by this name because Of the
frightful disease brought on this coast
100 years ago by the sailors from Bos-
ton under Captain Grey and from Liv-
erpool by Captain Vancouver, from
Spain, in fact, all over the world, and
spread by the employees Of the Hud-
sons Bay company among the natives
when after fur. The Russians did
more than their share.
"The Yukon Indian Is not like 9TH
er North American red men; he is diff
ferent in build, habit and certainly in
ferior to the average Sioux or Chippe-
wa or other tribes Of the northwest
He is more like the Jap: has the same
complexion, beard and hair, Is little
taller and not so clean. The people
are light built, understood and great
beggars. A few work at boating and
wood cutting. but generally they are
lazy and indolent.
There are less than 1000, big and
little, in the Yukon country and about
1000 dogs. The dog sleds and tobog-
gans are the only thing they have to
move with: never a horse or OK.
"They never have vegetables unless
eating with a white man. Every tribe
could raise vegetables at their sum-
mer camps if they would. They have
good soil and every chance to raise
lettuce, cabbage, turnips and
spuds, as white men are raising all Of
these here for market and their own
use.
1.-The tribes are small, from twelve
to fifteen families; they are found in
places from 100 to 200 miles apart.
They live near a stream or lake when
at home: but when winter comes they
go for fur and meat They travel all
winter with the whole family outfit Of
kids, dogs, squaws and some old peo-
ple, going from 200 to 500 miles on
these winter trips. generally in great
circle.
"Thev stav a few days in a place,
build new camps and make new trails
and find new game. They live on meat
they kill and fish they catch with nets.

Not to Be Joshed.-Lieut. Frank
Lahm was discussing the paper on
military aeronautics that he had read
before the Pennsylvania National
Guard association at Harri sburg.
"This science" said Lieut.. Lahm, rs
only just beginning to receive from the
army the attention it deserves. All
wars, ere long, will be fought in the
air. but the mass Of our fighters still
remain in the matter Of aeronautics,
as ignorant as-well as the young gro
Ger from the country.
"A young country chap once got
job in a city grocery. He was very
cautious in his new berth-they had
told him at home that the city people
would try to josh him because he was
green. He kept a sharp lookout ac-
cordingly for joshers.
"A sober old maid entered the gro
cery one morning.
"1 want some bird seed. please she

ed scornfully:

me. Birds grows from eggs, not
seeds."-Chicago Journal.

Al Many eclipses are noticed in the
records of all ages. Astronomers can
determine accurately when eclipses
must have occurred and the eclipse
records are proving valuable to his
torical students as a means of deter
mining the dates of important events.
From these studies P. H. Cowell has
found evidence that our year has de-
creased within historical times.
