WHAT PEMM|CAN Is
 AND WHO MAKES II
A Few Facts for hose ContempIat- ing a Trip to the Pole Next
 Summer.

Since going to the north pole has become the raging fad of the summer season by Messrs. Cook, Peary and all others who are really anxious to go to some thoroughly cool resort, the public is necessarily taking interest in things that only few specialists heretofore have paid any attention to- As a result there are a lot of people inquiring what ''pemmican" is. and a lot more would like to ask but are ashamed to display their ignorance.
 Pemmican is a meat food made ex- clusively for the Arctic trade, which consists chiefly of explorers, and it is understood that the Armour Packing company is the exclusive manufactur- CT of the real simon pure brand of pemmican, and furnished the supply used by both Peary and Cook. Cook had about 2,000 pounds of pemmican when he started. and Peary. having a much larger party, took about three times as much Both explorers say there is no other food that furnishes SO Oi lHt neat anu ing supply for the body in so com pressed a form. though it is not a de- lightfully pleasing dish and not a sat- isfying one owing to the small quan- tity required for the necessary nour- ishment. IL is only good to keep the bodily machinery working when there is nothing so effective at hand, and is used under conditions where people eat to live. and not merely because they have to.
 Pemmican was originally made by the aborigines in the far north in their crude way, using reindeer meat as its basis. The Armour Company has improved on the methods of the Indians and has added a number of other ingredients. The Armour penn mican is made of lean beef minus all | slnew and fat It is dried and pow dered and mixed with tallow. suet. | ground raisins and entrants. salt. l pepper and sugar. It is compressed | into bricks about the size of those used in building. It is wrapped in parafine paper and canned. It is brown of color and one pound con- tains as much nutritious value as | ten pounds of fresh beef. It will keep indefinitely and even in the tropics. But it wouldn't be of value there. It makes too much blood and
 is too heating. It is sold ct an av- craze price of s1 2 pound.

 Consider what it is that we are carrying on. Really, we have to rub our eyes some times in order to carry ourselves down to a basis of fact and see exactly what it is that we are doing in order to measure what we have accomplished in the way of government by the people. Take the matter of beet sugar; l am very much interested to help along some people for whom l was iong time the only representative. and that. as a kind of informal rep resentative in Washington. by letting some of their sugar. was in favor of letting all their sugar-into this m~rket because I did not think it would hurt you out here bit.
 You are going ahead so rapidly that when I talk with a man out here and he is not thinking of the tariff he will tell me tales of the manufacture of sugar that will just make me think I want to invest all my money into it at once. But what did we do? We compromised. and we said to the people of the Philip pine islands. We will let you into our market to the extent of 25O,OOO tons and no more, and then home industry will go on It will not be injured, certainly, by that importa- tion."

This one man is Smith. the Princeton quarterback. the man, who in a few moments must give the signal for the next play. His eyes follow the substi- ute. He notes his unusual impatience and his mind is busy
 Meanwhile. up in the stands group of three men are holding a most in teresting conversation. They are Gas per Whitney. Walter Camp and Lorin
 Deland. all students of the game. At this particular instance they are dis cussing the strategy of the game. and attempting from a Princeton stand point to settle upon the proper play
 with which to reopen the game. MT.
 Camp suggests that he would send
 the first play at the substitute. and
 that he would select such a play as should start between tackle and end in
 order to draw the end in (for it was a
 part of the Harvard defense at that
 time to send her ends in sharply) but
 that should finally develop into wide end run. The others agree that this is the proper play, and the conVersa-
 tion stops as the teams line up. MT. Camp has been watching the two teams during the interval and has seen Smith eyeing the substitute. The signal Is given and the ball is about to be pass ed. when MT. Camp. without taking
 his eyes off the play. nudges MT. De land and says, Lorin, Lorin, watch this play, it will be a touchdown for Princeton" And sure enough the play develops as MT Camp had predicted- Princeton scores, and on the very play which has previously been chosen by all three as the strategical one of the moment The play starts for a point just outside of tackle: the eager end rushes in, is smothered in the interfer- ence. and the half back running wide, l crosses the Harvard goal line forty
 yards away for the first score. Smith had sized up the situation and from
 the forty or fifty plays at his command had chosen the one and the only one
 which was exactly suited to the emer- gency Smith had seen his opportunity and Camp had realized that he saw IL. Such are tragedies of the footbali

haitian and the Brooklyn bridges will all be outlined from end to end. The route of the parades will be bordered on both curbs with fes- toOns of incandescent globes, and the Washington arch and the reviewing stands will punctuate the long lines with a contrasting arrangement of colored floral designs. In the huge bronze urn topping the marble shaft of the Martyrs monument at Fort Greene in Brooklyn. designed by Stanford White, will burn a con- tinuous fire of faggots. as was the original intent of the architect never before realized.
 And on the closing night of the cele- bratiOn beacon fires will flame from every headland all the length of the path that Henry Hudson traveled from Manhattan Island to Albany 300 years ago.
 Educational emphasis will be laid on all the more spectacular features of the celebration by arranging that wherever possible the 1000, ,000 school children of Greater New York shall have a part in them. and it has been the design of the promoters through out to arrange their displays in such wise that they may be seen by the largest number of persons.
 Great cars has been taken to see to the comfort and safety of out-Of-town visitors The city will be cleaned of old offenders; out-of-town crooks will be looked for with an especially sharp eye. not only by local detectives. but by details sent here from other cities; field hospitals and ambulance stations have been placed where they can be most promptly of service in calls of emergency. and. finally. the informa- tion bureau of the commission. in it's offices at the Tribune building, will give out a list of reputable hotels and boarding houses which are not SD like Iy to be overcrowded as those better known.
 On Friday. October l, will be junction of the upstate and New York City divisions of the celebration, when the lesser of the ships of war will escort the Clermc--- and the Half Moon to Newburgh, where they will be turned over to the authorities from Albany During the following week, beginning October 3, there will be exercises at various points between New York and Cohoes.

Then we all ran forward. watching the lamps narrowly. They burned as before. except where. in some of the shallow cavities of the uneven roof. sufficient gas Had col lected to bring to the tip of the flame small. translucent, blue cap.

REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR.

The longer ago a woman was born, the easier she can remember to forget when it was.
 A queer thing about the lies you tell is how brazen the- seem when you hear somebody else tell the the same ones.

 No matter how much a woman is sure a man loves her, she wishes it was more so she could ask him to say it in bigger language.
