"Did you know that the most
warlike tribe of savages in this
country in the old days was the Sit
ka Indians in Alaska ?" asked a citi-
zen of Vancouver, B. G. "In com
parison with them the Sioux and
Apaches Of our American Indians

"Their religion was one of many
gods, and everything about them
had its own particular ruling spirit.
The relics of their worship still
stand-their totem poles, with thsff
inscriptions and strangely carved
figures. The Eskimos we know are
far different sort, given to the
pursuit of their existence by simple
and peaceable means" Washing

Taking medicine on the stage is
not only realistic-it is real" said
an old actor. "Anyhow, it was so in
my case. Here is a copy Of a pre-

that time with indigestion, and the

away at me for months before | un-

me to take something. When that
role was assigned to me he saw his
chance.
"'You've got to take a dose of
something in that second act he

Sierra Madres wherever there are
good feeding grounds, and wher-
ever there are grizzlies one may ex-
pect also the huge cinnamon bear,
the grizzly's close neighbor. The
common brown bear is not so nu-
merous, but the black bear is quite
plentiful. The white faced bear is
more rare, though it is sometimes
found in the coast mountains. |

All the American great cats, in fact,

Q Tiny seraws.

Wonderful skill is displayed in
the manufacture Of miniature time
pieces that are used to ornament
bracelets and other pieces of jewel
ry. The parts of these miniature
watches are necessarily as perfect
as those used in ID much larger time
piece, but much smaller. They must
be examined under a powerful mi
croscope.
Some OF the small screws are only
one twelve-hundred- part
OF an inch in diameter and seven
one-thousandth part of an inch in
length. An idea Of their size can
be formed when it is estimated that
it would require about 100000 of
these delicate parts to fill an ordi-
nary thimble.

LEPRosY.
The Modern Disease Is Different FrOra
That Of Olden Times.

The Modern Disease Is Different Fror7
That Of olden Times.
There is possibly no disease the
presence of which inspires greater
fear in the public mind than does
leprosy. This is perhaps in meas
ure due to the loathsomeness of the
disease in its later stages, but it is
in most cases simply fear of a
name.
The disease or diseases spoken
of as leprosy in the Bible are pop
ularly supposed to be the same as
the leprosy of today, and the evil
dent fear the leper inspired in the
people Of old is held to justify the
dread with which he is still regard
ed. The Biblical descriptions do
not, however, fit modern leprosy,
so that, whether the fear of the
'leper" Of olden times was or was
not justified, it should not be al
lowed to color the view with which
the leper of today is regarded.
Leprosy is indeed an infectious
disease-that is to say, it is due to
the presence in the tissues of ba-
ciIlus known generally as Hansen's
bacillus, after the Norwegian ply
sician who discovered it. But
whether it is contagious under the
ordinary conditions of modern life,
in temperate climates at least, is
held by specialists in diseases Of
the skin to be very doubtful.
OF the few lepers known to the
physicians in all the larger cities
some are cared for in hospitals and
others live at home and visit the
clinics or the doctors office from
time to time. Yet an instance in
which another person has acquired
the disease from any of these lepers
is unknown.
There are many diseases more TO
be dreaded than leprosy because
more rapidly fatal, more painful or
more contagious. Yet none of
them, except perhaps smallpox, is
more feared.
The illogical terror of leprosy
may be the cause of great cruelty
to those afflicted. There are thou
sands Of people who show culpable
Indifference to the enforcement Of
the laws against splitting in public
places, although they know full
well that the success Of the crusade
against tuberculosis hinges largely
upon care in this regard. Yet these
same persons would fly in horror
from any place that had harbored a
leper.-Youth's Companion.

FAMOUS TEA DRINKERS.
Johnson Once Took Twenty five Cups
at Sitting.


Napoleon. like johnson. was q
hardened tea drinker, and so CEN
tury later was SIr. Gladstone, who
confessed that he drank more tea
between midnight and 4 in the
morning than any other member of
the house of commons and that the
strongest brew of it never interfer-
ed with his sleep.
The dish of tea was one of the
most important factors in John
sons life. Proficiency in the gentle
art of tea brewing was regarded by
him as an essential attribute of the
perfect woman, and there can be no
doubt that his feminine friends (and
their name was legion) did their
best to crafty his amiable weak
ness.
Richard Cumberland tells us,
says the London Gentlewoman, that
his inordinate demands for his ia
vorate beverage were occasionally
difficult to comply with. On Sir
Joshua Reynolds reminding him he
had already consumed eleven cups
he replied: "Sir, did not count
your glasses of wine. Why should
you number my cups of tea?" And
laughingly he added in perfect good
humor, "Sir, | should have released
our hostess from any further trou-
BILE, but you have reminded me that
| want one more cup to make up
the dozen, and must request Mrs.
Cumberland to round up my score"
When he saw the complacency
with which the lady of the house
obeyed his behests he said cheerily:
Madam, ! must tell you for your
comfort you have escaped much
better than a certain lady did
awhile ago, on whose patience l in
truded greatly more than / have on
yours. She asked me for no other
purpose than to make a zany of me
and set me gabbing to a parcel of
people / knew nothing of. So,
madam, l had my revenge on her,
for | swallowed FIVE and twenty
cups of her tea"
Cumberland declared that his
wife would gladly have made tea
for johnson as long as the New
river could have supplied her with
water, for it was then, and then
only, he was seen at his happiest
moments.
On his Scottish tour his inexora-
bic demands for tea sorely tried the
patience of Lady Macleod of Dun
vegan, who after giving him his
sixteenth cup suggested that fur
ther supplies in a small basin might
be agreeable to him.
81 wonder, madam" he answered
"why all the ladies ask me
such questions. 1t is to save your
self trouble, madam, and not me-"
The lady was discreetly silent
and resumed her task.
