JUST SUITS THE FAR NORTH
Peculiar Boots Worn by Men and
Women in New Brunswick Are
a Necessity In That Region.

A New York man has on view a
pair of boots which he brought home
with him from a fishing trip in New
Brunswick this season and which
are a curiosity, although familiar
footwear with the hunters and trap
pers of that faraway region.
They are known there as "moose
shanks," and are the skin of a
moose's hind legs, cured without
tanning, and made up into the foot
and leg covering as seen in this pair.
The ankle part Of the moose's leg
skin constitutes the foot, the elbow
or bend in the leg the heel and the
lower part Of the thigh the leg.
The hunter keeps these queer
looking boots plant by ample greas-
ing with deer tallow, and wears
them over three or four pairs Of
WOODEN stockings. They are water
and cold proof in the most severe
weather.
The New Yorker also brought
back as a companion to these boots
a pair of boots Of the kind back
woods women wear in the cold and
long winters of New Brunswick.
These are made from the skins Of
a caribou's hind legs after the same
manner as the moose shank boots
are made, but are more delicate and
ornamental.

SOYA BEAN A PERFECT FOOD
milk, Cheese, Oil and Flour All Made
From This Valuable
Vegetable.

1t is interesting to note in con-
junction with the awakening ofChina
that a Chinese article of food, or at
any rate a Vegetable product which
grows most profusely in Manchuria,
is attracting the serious attention of
Europe and America. Authorities
say that the soya bean contains more
Of the ingredients Of a perfect food
than any other one known product,
and an important experiment is be-
ing tried in France, where a wide as
sortment Of foods is being made
from soya beans. They include milk,
cheese, casein, oil, j%ellies, -four,
bread, biscuits, cakes and sauces.
The use Of the soya bean oil for
paint purpose is established as a
practical fact. While it is said that
soya oil is not yet proved a perfect
substitute for linseed oil in exterior
painting, in interior painting it s
entirely satisfactory and for some
sorts Of fnishings, like baking ia-
pans" it is even better than linseed

Newspapers and Their Affairs

Newspapers and Their Affairs.
On October LIST, the new law
went into effect by which Con
gress has prescribed the condi-
tions under which the periodical
publications of the United States
may be admitted to the mails.
In one important detail it diff
fers from any previous post-of-
flee law ever passed. Heretofore
the postal laws have prohibited
the use of the mails by persons
engaged in fraudulent enter
prises. and forbidden the adj
mission of indecent and other
wise obnoxious literature, and
of articles that would injure
the mail bags; but this is believ-
ed to be the first attempt to pre-
scribe conditions, other than the
payment of postage, on which
absolutely Innocent matter may
be transmitted.
There are several forms Of re-
striction that the new law i'm
poses. In the first place, every
periodical or magazine, and ev-
cry newspaper of whatever class,
must publish in the second issue
after it has made a return to
the government, the names of
all the owners, the names of the
principal editors, and even the
names of the holders OF bonds,
if there are any.
Moreover, every publication
must mark as an advertisement
every article or item Tor which
it has received any valuable con
sideralion and the clause is so
strong that il a newspaper re-
ceives a free copy of a book
for review, and reviews it, it
must declare the review to be
an advertisement.
There is a third requirement
that applies only to daily news
papers, namely, that they shall
publish a statement of the num-
Der Of paid subscriptions. The
Attorney-Genera of the United
States has given an opinion that
the clause will be satisfied if
publishers include among the
paid subscriptions the number Of
copies ordinarily sold to news
agencies and by newsboys.
All these requirements must
be met before a publication may
in any manner be sent by mail
It is even unlawful to enclose in
a sealed envelope, and to post.
fully paid, at letter rates, a news
paper that has not made the re.
quired returns.
Congress has given no reason
for singing out a particular bus.
mess and requiring it to expose
the details Of its affairs; but
Congress does not give reasons
for any of its acts. There are
many persons, however, who vii
think that the new law is neithei
necessary nor just. The infor
nation that is called for is no
needed in order to determinI
whether a publisher is dOinl
anything dishonest, or breaking
any Of the laws Of the land. AL
that win be accomplished, ap
parently, is that public curiosit.

SUSPICION is DANGEROUS.

How easy it is to suspect some
one of something. How prone
most of US are to commit this Sc
rious fault. We do not intend to
wrong anybody and yet we seem
ingly forget that this is the very
thing we are doing.
Just because we think that some
thing or somebody is not to our
way of thinking is no reason why
we should discredit them, ano
thereby perchance do an irrepara-
BILE harm.
How much easier it is to look ap-
provingly upon everything that is
seemingly right, and only change
your opinion when you see indica-
tons of something suggestive of
wrong.
If we are suspicious of almost
everything and everybody, we are
in pltiable state and cannot do
justice under any condition. Our
natures will become shrunken, and
in time we will look upon the sun
and moon with suspicious eyes.
Can you imagine any more IN
lovable character than that of the
individual who cannot trust any,
thing that he sees or hears? How
unhappy he must be and how
miserable he can make everybody
else. And in being suspicious he
does not really wish to be so, but
he has just allowed himself to be-
come doubling Thomas" until he
can hardly trust himself.
1t is much easier and much bet
ter to trust and believe. Just try
it and be happy. and make those
around you happier Took.
