He was a lion tanner, but the man
who ruled the king of the forest
was in turn ruled by his wife. One
night he was entertained by his
friends, who refused to allow him
to depart until the small hours of
the morning. As a result on his
homeward way he had a PRESENT.
ment that his better half would not
receive him as cordially as he de-
served, consequently he spent the
night elsewhere.
In the morning he tried to slip
into the house unobscrved; but,
alas, a voice from the top of the
stairs greeted him coldly:
"Where have you been all night,
John?"
"Well, my dear, | was afraid of
disturbing you, so l slept in the

There was a moments pause, a
gritting Of teeth, then down the
stairs hoated one word:

Irish ~Gooseberries,

An Irishman or an Irishwoman
is rarely at a loss to give quite as
good as she gets. The American
tourist who figures in Sketchy Bits
found this out to his cost.
An old Irishwoman who kept a
fruit stall had some melons exposed
for sale. The Yankee, wishing to
have some fun with the old lady,
took up II of them and said:
"These are small apples you
grow over here. In America we
have them twice the size"
The woman slowly looked up at
him and in a tone of pity exclaim-
ed:
"Sure, sorr, we must be a stranger
in Ireland and know very Little
about the fruit of our country whin
ye can't tell apples from g~ooseber-
ries!"

Whistlina and Weeping Trees.

Among the curiosities of tree life
is the solar or whistling tree of Nj
bia. When the winds blow over
this tree it gives out futelike
sounds, playing away to the wilder
ness for hours at a time strange,
weird melodies. 1t is the spirit of
the dead singing among the
branches, the natives say, but the
scientific white man says that the
sounds are due to a myriad of small
holes which an insect bores in the
spines of the branches.
The weeping tree of the Canary
islands is another arboreal freak.
This tree in the driest weather will
rain down showers from its leaves,
and the natives gather up the wa
ter from the pool formed at the
foot of the trunk and find it pure
and fresh. The tree exudes the wa.
ter from innumerable pores at the
base Of the leaves.-Chicago Jour

The Aneients and Electricity.

A writer in the Elektrotechnische
Anzeiger cites many incidents to
show that electricity was not I'M
known to the ancients and that
Georg Ebers' suggestion in a novel
that the Egyptians made use of
lightning conductors was well
founded. instruments much like
the modern Photograph were also
used, the writer says, by priests as a
means of communication between
temples. There can be no doubt,
he says, as to the temple having
been protected by lightning rods.
The Biblical descriptions show that
the roof was provided with metallic
points held aloft by columns and
that these points, ending in chains,
terminated in great water tanks.
He adds, Cali of which is vouched
for in the first book of Kings and
the second book Of Chronicles"

Experiments Being Carried On

Fargo, N. D.. Nov. 12.-Superin-

farms of the state is alive to the
fact that the question of whether or
not winter wheat can be grown in
North Dakota is of present impor.
lance. This fall winter wheat fields
were seeded on seven of the farms
Page, Bismarck, New Salem,
Beach. Washburn, Flaxton and
Rugby. These places offer a variety
of climate and soil conditions that
will give an average trial for the
entire state.
The wheat was turkey red, the
only variety that is recommended
for northwestern conditions, and
was seeded in three WAYS, in corn,
on summer fallow. and in barley
stubble.
The wheat was broadcast INTO the
corn early in August and cultivated
in. The summer fallow was we'll
worked and drilled in at the same
time. The barley stubble came a
little later. as o as the crop was
taken off. This wheat did not get
an even start with the other two
methods of seeding.
These experiments should show
whether or not and under what
conditions winter wheat will grow in
North Dakota.

THE ESKIMO.
What He Looks Like and the Way He
Dresses and Lives.

$3.50 49, wy ~
Dresses and Lives.
What is an Eskimo like? His
portrait is easily sketched: A small
person Give feet five inches is the
average height of the men and five
feet hat of the women), with a
grayish copperish and oily skin,
thick lips, deep set and oblique
eyes like the japanese, a fiat, oval
face and fat cheeks, a low, retreat
ing forehead and black, glossy,
straight hair, which is allowed to
grow to its full length. The hands
and feet are remarkably small. The
nose is abnormally flat.
The faces of the children are
generally so fat that the eyes al
most disappear, and the nose is
| sunken between the cheeks instead
of protruding.
The Eskimos have a happy, care
less, optimistic look about them.
| Nordenskjold used to call them
"big children" and stated that
''these unfortunate creatures, who
are deprived of every comfort, are
conceited and jocular. They are
hospitable, too, and when brought
into contact with Europeans they
grow civilized quite rapidly, though
they retain a number Of their old
habits"
AS regards dress, it is almost the
same for women as for men-a
close fitting sealskin coat, with a
hood for the head and breeches Of
| the same material.
Needless to say the Eskimos dis
like water as a cleansing agent"
and they lack fascination. But
they do not consider Europeans as
very attractive, and the refinements
of civilization are repulsive to
them. The same Nordenskjold once
told a very amusing story on this
matter. He gave a bottle of eau de
cologne to an aged Eskimo lady to
smell. She almost tainted and
called the scent "dreadfully stencil
ing" But she dwelt in a sordid
hut, where the air was "unbreatha-
ble," and lived on food of which one
hesitates to think.
The Eskimos have no religion
worthy of the name. They are eX-
tremely superstitious. But how
could they help being so, surround
ed as they are by truly fantastic
scenery-mysterious caverns and
grottoes, mountains Of ice, bathed
in the weird light effects of the arc7
tic atmosphere or in the awe in
spring gloom of the polar night?
The Eskimos, however, have
much respect for the ''head of the
family" Funerals are a complicat-
ed affair in Greenland, and the
most curious custom in connection
with such ceremonies is the bury
ing of a dogs head-meant to act
as a guide-together with the dead
body.
They live under tents during the
summer and under snow huts dur
ing the cold season. They possess a
skin canoe called kayak, a sledge
and a few dogs.
They marry at an early age. The
bride brings to her new home her
clothes, a knife and a lamp. The
husband gives her a cooking pot.
Eskimo etiquette compels the bride
to object to marriage, and she must
pretend to escape from her husband
two or three times before settling
down to her duties and accepting
her share of responsibilities Ex-
