 General Merchondise WRANGELL, ALASKA
Seotia's Eire5rand Signal

Crantara was military signal en- ployed by the Scottish highland chiefs. 1t was frebrand or wooden cross. which after being dipped in the blood of a goat was sent by swift footed herald, who delivered 1t without a word save the name of the place of rendezvous. The feetest runner of that hamlet was instantly dispatched with the signal to the next, whence it was borne to a third, and so on until every village within the chiefs domain had received the summons It was last circulated in 17l5.
 Thought We'll of Themselves.
 Gibbon wrote in his dairy: T am the greatest historian that ever lived. No one can equal me in this direction"
 Victor Hugo wrote to Bismarck: "The giant greets the giant, the foe the foe, the friend the friend. I hate thee furiously because thou hast hum- Lled France. I love thee because am greater than thou art"
 And Wordsworth said of the "swan Gf Avon:' There is an immensity of trick in all he wrote. If had mind could write exactly like Shake speare."
 Fish Used For Soap.
 The angler or fishing frog, though nowhere common, seems more gener- ally distributed around England's coasts than some authorities suppose. The angler is so called from the curi GUS "rod and b2it" formed by a modi- iication of ray of the front dorsal fin, which was formerly fancied to attract smaller fish. but the entire hideous body is q marvellous mimetic adapta ton to tEe bottom of the sea, upon which the creature walks. using the "cctoral fins fer feet. This marine aGre has lUtle value, except for mu- seums. but the gail is used by Irish washerWomen to bleach linen, and in Iceland it is utilized for the manu- fartnre of soap.-St. James Gazette.

 Russia's National Anthem.
 The Russian national anthem is the only national hymn which was adopt ed as such in open competition. Until the time of the Emperor Nicholas I. the English God Save the King" had served Russia, but Nicholas determined to institute genuine and native Rus sian anthem. He announced a compe. tition, open to all musicians, for an original national hymn. A musical committee reduced the thousands of entries to. two. and between these. the works of Glinka and Lvoff, the czar himself decided. The highly martial character, with the drums and trum- pets, of Lvoff's composition won the imperial verdict, and 1t was decreed as henceforth the Russian national an. them.

Scientific Manaqement.


 The general manager of a great h. dustry In passing through one of his shops was suddenly struck with the idea that a way might be found to utilize the daily tons of waste from timber and steel, says the Woman's World. Shortly afterward he employ ed young chemist to enter the plant and devote his time to experiments with these chips and scraps and shay. ings. Although at work less than one year salvage totaling more than S500, GOO has resulted from the scientists in- yestigations. A few years ago the business men held the student in con- tempt and ridiculed his theories To day they are largely depending upon him to earn their dividends.

Making Themselves Known.

"Persons who expect to receive mon- ey orders in a strange town take in finite precautions to identify them selyes," said postal clerk. "One way that particularly comments itself is for the stranger to call on the pay ing teller in the money order depart ment before his own order arrives and present bunch of correspondence showing pretty clearly who he is. He then explains that he is expecting q money order from a certain person. Can the clerk remember him when he presents it for payment? After that impressive introduction the clerk usually can remember, and when the order is presented he cashes it."-New York Sun.

Barbers' Poles.


 Anciently barberS were surgeons, eS- pecially In cases of bleeding To as- sist this operati the patient used to grasp a staff or pole, which was al- ways kept near the barber surgeon. To this staff was tied tape, which was used in bandaging the patients arm. When not in use the pole was hung outside as sign of the work performed inside. Later a stick paint ed to represent the pole was left in the doorway. At first surgeons poles were painted with red and white stripes, with brass knob or basin at the end. while mere barbers were required to have them white and blue. This stat ute was still in force in England in 1297. The last barber-surgeon died in London in 1S21.-New York American.
 Making Tea In Tibet.
 The people of Tibet make their tea in a complex fashion. They get it in "bricks," which are brought overland from China by caravan. When Iii betan wants to make tea he takes a piece of tea brick, pulverizes it and boils it in a kettle for few minutes with sufficiency of water and pinch of salt Then he puts the mixture into little churn, adding bit of butter and small quantity of fine ground barley. These things he churns vigorousy for few minutes and then pours the stuff into the teapot. A strainer of bamboo is used. Each person in Tibet carries his or her own tea bowl which is of wood, tucked into the folds of the body garment or robe

TO HELP THE PRINTERS, UNION
Moving Pictures Which Show Great
Work Being Done.

Topekans will have an opportunity
at the Cozy theater on the afternoons
and evenings of Wednesday and Thurs
day of this week of seeing some fine
views of the tuberculosis sanitarium
operated by the international Typo
graphical union in conjunction with its
81, 000,00 Home for superannuated
and INDECENT members at Colorado
Springs. A dozen or fifteen excellent
views of the more important Features
of this valuable institution will be ex-
hibited during the regular moving pic
ture shows at this little photo play
house, and they will be worth seeing,
particularly by those interested in the
against the great white plague. The
Typographical unions sanitarium and
it's equipment are considered models
among their kind throughout the
world.
In the struggle against consump-
ton, the Typographical union was a
pioneer. It's sanitarium at Colorado
Springs was one of the first to be
established (1S91) for the special
treatment of printers affected with
tuberculosis. 1t has kept abreast with
the most progressive and successful
ideas for the treatment of this dis
ease, and has proved an effective agent
in the campaign being carried on
against the spread of consumption.
Among it's equipment is a tent colony,
a herd of full blooded Holstein cattle,
and every other adjunct that makes
for success in the alienation and cure
of consumptives. Pictures of all these
features will be shown, and these views
form such a valuable tuberculosis ex-
hibit, that arrangements are being
made for their display with the regu
lar tuberculosis exhibition that is sent
out through Kansas by the state board
of health The printers exhibit has
been shown already in many other
cities and has attracted favorable COM
ment everywhere. Sometimes it has
been necessary for the Union to pay
for the privilege of having it SHOWN in
theaters. The Cozy Theater company
has volunteered to charge nothing for
putting it on with their regular shows,
and in addition will give percentage
of their receipts during the two days
of the exhibition to the Topeka Typo
graphical union. The money thus re-
ceived will be used to continue the
fight against the great white plague.

FOUND IN THE RIVER.
Headless and Unclothed Body of a
Woman in the Water.

Cincinnati, Feb. 14.-Attempts made
today to identify the headless, uncloth-
ed body of a woman found in the river
here late last night and which appar-
emily had been in the water about six
months, were fruitless.
The limbs of the body are missing,
but it is practically certain these were
removed by the action of the water.
Absence of the head is a puzzle. Only
one woman is missing from Cincinnati
according to police records, and she has
been gone only few weeks. The auth
critics declare that the condition OF
the body precludes the supposition that
the body is hers. The police of Hunt
ington, w. va, have been notified OF
the find as it is said that a woman
resident of that place is absent and
unaccounted for.

FALLING INTO SEA.
Hoquiam, Wash, Is Gradually Being
Washed Away.

Hoquiam. WASH, Feb. 14.-The.
summer hotel at Moclips containing
325 rooms one-half of which was:
washed into the sea yesterday prob
ably will have to be abandoned, as q
large part of the remaining wing IS
hanging over the water today ana
may fall with this afternoons nigh
tide. The sea wall has collapsed ana
the ocean has cut away more than loo
feet of land behind the wall and is
taking long strips to 10 feet wide at
every tide Forward Brothers JeWelry
store was washed away last night ana
Patterson's store and the public school
building together with seven cottages
went during the day.
AS the land was washed out from
under the school house the building
began to rock, which caused the bell
to ring, adding to the alarm OF the cit
fzens Finally the school house, which
was a pretentious building slipped into
the sea and bobbed about like cork
the bell still tolling dismally. A few
minutes later a gigantic wave rolling
80 feet high sent the structure against
the piling of the wrecked sea wall and
it disappeared like a house of cards
The loss thus far is estimated at
$4,000

Madero dictated last night before leav-
ing. Madero says while he has no de-
sire to be an absconder from just laws,
there is no limit to which the Mexi-
can government would resort to hold
him in this or any other country under
frivolous and trumped up charges if
he were once to surrender. He there
fore was forced to protect his person
against the slightest possibility of
forced detention; because of the de-
moralizing effect it would have on his
forces in the field.
1--WE have carried on this war on
the highest basis of justice and right"
says Madero. "And, while I would
like to virdjcate myself against any
and all charges of breaking the neu-
trality laws before court OF justice,
1 will leave my action to be adjudged
by that greatest of all juries-public
opinion.
at will only be a short while before
we hope to be in possession of Ciudad
Juarez, or some other suitable capital
and port of entry and my arrest at
this time would have bad effect upon
my people,
Madero says he is returning to Mex
leo, where our army is capable of
protecting me against persecution"
Madero expresses gratitude for the
moral support he has received in this
country. 81 wish to very particularly
express thanks to the press of the
United States for the interest and
space it has devoted to the cause 1
represent and I can not resent just
criticism and from it hope to gain
knowledge that will help me and my
DaOpIe."

HAPPY RESULTS OBTAINED
BY the Use of the New Scalp Anti
septic

It wouldn't take long to number the
hairs in the heads of some people, the
reason being they haven't many to
number. In most instances, however,
the fault is their own. A germ at the
root soon plays havoc with the most
Iuxuriant growth and causes 1t to fade
and fall out A remedy for this has
recently been discovered, called New
bros Herpicide, that acts by destroy
ing the germ that does the damage,
besides removing all impurities from
the scalp. In. addition IT permits new
life and vigor to enter the scalp, and
happy results are sure to be obtained
from its use. Try it. Sold by leading
druggists Send 10c in stamps for sam
