Happy Esklmos.

Eskimos are all children, content
ed, peaceable, honest and hospitable,
without rulers and without ambition
for, fame or power. They live almost
entirely on raw animal food, and this
explains the absence Of number Of
diseases which are common to civil
ization. Salt water contains iodine,
and all sea animals. as well as all
who eat them uncooked, absorb more
or less OF this tickle substance.

her. For several years she practical.

ABRIDGE COMMANDMENTS
Second, Fourth and Tenth To Be
Shortened for English Church.

London. Feb 1.-THE Very Rev. Will
lam Mordaunt Furneaux, Dean of Win
chester. has been appointed by the Con-
vocation of Canterbury to prepare an
abridgement OF the Ten Commandments
to be submitted for consideration at a
meeting Of the Convocation in May.
The Convocation is now sitting in
Westminster under the presidency Of the
Archbishop of Canterbury, and has had
before it, among other matters, a pro-
posal to modify and shorten the Second,
Fourth and Tenth commandments, and
II is with these three that the Dean Of
Winchester will be concerned. AS q
sample of the form which the abride-
ment will take, the dean said to-day that
probably he would suggest that the
Tenth Commandment be abbreviated 10
read simply. Thou shalt not covet." The
modification of the others has not been
considered by him yet. Opposition to
any change from the traditional inter
rretation Of the decalogue is expected
from the Nonconforrnists.

KAISER TALKS TO FARMERS
Makes Humorous Address at
Berlin on Land Reclamation.

Berlin. Fen. 17.-Emperor William had
sufficiently recovered from his recent indis
position TO address the German Agricult-
ural Congress to-day. He was in high
spirits and amused while he instructed his
audience.
His majesty's topic was the reclamation
OF moor land for grazing purposes, an en-
terprise which Is of great interest 10 the
farming community. According TO re-
port laid before the present Congress, Ger
many has four hundred square miles Of
such land. which can be reclaimed and
made to produce annually 1.7s5,OO0 pounds
of meat besides incidental profits from
peat
The Emperor recited his personal expert
ences in reclaiming FIVE hundred acres on
the imperial estate al Cadinen. on the Bal
tic coast. The work was done at an ex-
pense Of S1S.25O, and already the profits from
the land have shown an increase Of S,oV.
He also told OF successful experiments un-
dertaken at mis- direction TO improve the
breed Of moor land cattle by crossing them
with the Indian zebu. The result has been
that the milk Of the new strain was much
richer.
Emperor William emphasized the neces-
sity Of German farmers increasing their
herds Of livestock IN order 70 render the
country independent OF foreign supplies OF
meat. This purpose ne added, "of max
ing ourselves more and more independent
OF foreign countries in the matter OF feed
ing our people must and can be realized.
I am trying TO cooperate TO this END
His majesty's facetious allusions to MS
troubles encountered in extracting from
the keeper Of the privy purse money with
which TO carry out his experiments, and
freauent witticisms, kept his hearers laugh

on the pathology and treatment OF cancer.
arrived here yesterday on the Cunarder
Mauretania. He comes TO lecture at WASH

medical associations Of those cities.
pr. Snow declared that he was opposed
To vivisection. He said 1t was cruel and
that no benefit for cancer had been obtained
through Investigations made on the lower
animals. He said he believed TIE recur'
renee OF cancer after operation was due TO
the hiding awav OF the germs OF cancer
in the marrow OF the bones. His experience
with the disease had caused him to believe
that opium could be used effectively in ar
resting the disease and prolonging life for
