When Clifford Pinchot and Miles
Poindexter were up in Alaska last
summer, they had guide who was a
hearty eater. He ate all the time
he was cooking, continued to eat
while Pinchot and Poindexter were
at their meal, and would still be eat
ing long after the others had ceased
picking their teeth
The guide was particularly fond OF
grouse, which are moderately plentiful
in some parts of Alaska. Pinchot and
Poindexter would eat a grouse apiece,
but the guide would consume four or
five, with apparent relish. Senator
Poindexter felt that the thing to do
was to shoot more grouse and give
the guide his fill. They didn't get
a shot at any grouse right away, but
Poindexter kept in practice by bring.

"Evll Ever Based on Fact.

Most people have heard of the EVIL
Eye" and now we are informed by
Charles L. Smith, noted New York
refractionist, that the superstition
arose because everyone, without know
ing it, has one eye that is different in
power and activity from the other. He
designates it the dominant eye" and
according to whether 1t is the lett
or the right children will grow up left
handed or right-handed. 1t is sheer
cruelty, and may entail lifelong mis-
cry, to force child to become am
bidextrous. Such course may result
in wrecking the nervous system, and
can only be cured by reversal of the
process so that the dominant eye
may regaiH natural and undisputed
sway. Men who are ambidextrous had
better keep a strict guard over their
actions lest they should be credited
with the EVIL eye"

BURN BUILDING TO KILL GERM
Only Way to Get Rid Of Them, and
Occasion Was Made Good
Object Lesson.

A ramshackle building in Winston
Salem was recently burned at the re-
quest of the local Anti-Tuberculosis
league, because it was said to be alive
with tuberculosis germs and could not
be properly fumigated.
For days before the building was
burned huge placards announcing the
hour of destruction and giving rea-
sons for the burning were hung about
in prominent places. Among other
things the placards said: Within the
past Is months two men who sold
fruit, etc, here have died of tuber-
culosis but unconsciously left millions
of tuberculosis germs by careless
splitting. The building is so open that
it cannot be effectively fumigated.
The only practical means of dislnfect-
ing Is by fire."
At the appointed hour, while mil
lions of tuberculosis germs were be-
ing burned, 5000 pamphlets telling
how to prevent consumption, were dis
tributed to the crowd looking on.

SQUIRRELS, Team Work.


The members of an outing expedi
ton in New England while tenting in
a grove near a glen witnessed an in.
cident that seemed to show friendly
understanding among squirrels.
The members had just finished
their dinner, but were still at table"
when a squirrel with glistening, eager
eyes came creeping down tree that
stood near. He crep nearer and near
er, and finally leaped upon the i'm.
provised table.
Seeing that the woman who was
presiding at table extended him a
silent invitation to help himself to
what he might like, the little fellow
made bold to creep up to a loaf OF
bread from which only a slice or two
had been cut. He seized it and drag.
ged it to the side of the table and
somehow managed to scramble down
the side with it to the ground He
then fixed his teeth in the crust and
dragged it away and down the steep
sides of the glen.
But when he reached the bottom
and confronted the steep rise on the
other side it was too much for him.
Then he gave sort Of call, which
seemed to be understood, for soon
squirrels were seen coming from sew.
eral directions. They crowded around
him, and after little conference all
took hold, and with tug and strain
they managed to bring the loaf to
the top of the hill and disappeared
with it in the woods beyond.

Indian Sacred Buildings.

The rock-hewn temples Of Elephan-
ia, in Bombay harbor, which were
visited recently by the king and
queen numbered six, and four Of them
are nearly complete. They date from
the eighth century A. D., or somewhat
later. The Great Cave, $50 feet above
high-water mark, belongs to a class
of sacred buildings very common in
India. 1t is a silva temple, fully 100
feet long, the main body being a
square of about 80 feet, hewn from
the rock so as to present three open
sides, and supported by six rows Of
stone columns.

A curious drought survival by fishes
is reported from France. The ditch
or moat of Monaco, completely dried
up last summer, although usually
canal three miles long and fifty feet
wide, with five feet of water. All carp
tench, perch, and pike disappeared,
leaving dry mud A recent sudden
rainfall however supplied a little wa
ter, and the fishes were actually seen
rising-as lively as ever-from the
mud In which they had buried them
selves.

TAKE YOUR WlFE's ADVICE
Where Man Merely creeps by Logic,
Woman Leaps by Intuition at
Single Bound.
Some one has said:

Some one has said:
when a man has toiled step by
step up a fight Of stairs he will be
sure to find woman at the top, but
she may not be able to tell how she
got there"
A man comes up to conclusion by
the slow steps of delicate logic. In
stinctively the woman reaches it by
single bound.
Therefore, should you contemplate
some important step without having
consulted your wife-don't!
Her intuitive insight may be worth
more than your deliberate reasoning.
Especially is the normal average wo-
man quick to see the right or wrong
involved in a proposition. She jumps
over subtle distinctions and evasive
phrasing and lands on the firm foot
ing of eternal righteousness.
Ethically every woman is seer.
And especially clear are the eyes Of
a wife in any matter involving the
welfare or the good name Of her fam
lily.
Make your wife a close confidant in
all things, and the sequel will prove
her wisdom.
There was Victoria Colonna.
She is a strong character in the his
tory of her times. Her husband was
friend Of the great Charles V. At
one time her husband was offered the
crown Of Naples If he would join the
league against Charles. The man was
strongly tempted. He referred the
matter to his wife. She babe him
spurn the proposal.
Not every wife would thus refuse to
be queen. But
Most wives would!
Because the alliance contemplated
the base betrayal of a friend, and the
heart of true woman instinctively Is
turned against such baseness.
4 Seek your wife's advice. She is your
best friend, your most competent and
wisest counselor.
The writer speaks from long exper
fence. Almost invariably he has made
a mistake when he failed to confer
with his wife or has proceeded con
trary to her advice.
A wife will help to clear away diff
culties and suggest ways and means
that might not occur to the husband.

especially if one be woman's head.
