Pedigree Was Fine, But.

Though nepotism has been known
to get good railroad Jobs for young
men, there is one passenger official in
Kansas City with whom family con-
necttons do not go very far.
A few days ago the official in Ques-
ton was in quest Of an additional man
for his office.
A friend, learning OF his desire. took
occasion to write letter indorsing .
young man of his acquaintance.
The letter contained some glowing
testimonials of some of the things ac-
complished by the young mans an
cestors and relatives. But it didn't
get very far with the passenger off,
cial, when sent the following laconic
deply to the young mans indorser:
Judging from your letter, the young
man you recommend must have a
good pedigree. However, l merely de-
sire clerk now, but If conclude to
start a stock farm later, I will let
you know and will be glad to give the
young man a chance."-Kansas City

WIGWAM HAS PASSED AWAY
Indians In Canada Now Make Use Of
Canvas Tents and Iron
Stoves.

A novelist would find a veritable
mime Of data for stories of the severe
life in the woods among any of the
northern Indian tribes. During my
stay among the Montagnais at Lake
st. John two families descended from
their winter hunting grounds to the
post, being forced on the way to boil
their moccasins and pelfries for sour
to avoid starvation. Yet these same
people were strong enough to travel
and attend to the necessities of their
camp. Within five days they return
ed again to the forest.
The canvas tents, which have en-
tirely replaced the native birch bark
wigwams, came into general use
about twenty-five years ago. The first
Indians to introduce them set up their
tents and made camp in the space Of
an hour without having to cut the
numerous wigwam poles or dig away
the snow underneath, while the old
bark lodge required the snow to be
cleared to the ground on account OF
the fire in the center, the whole task
consuming about two and one-hali
hours. The box iron stoves heat the
tents very we'll and consume less
wood than the open f1res.-Southern

Carry Your Wagon.

A northern man who had recently
taken possession Of q southern planta

pie spoke . different language from

plies had been left at a, railway station
seven miles away and he was bothered
about getting 1t to tho plantation.
why don't you carry your wagon up
and tote the things DOWN." sympa-
thixing southsrner asked him. The
northern man laughed heartily at this
expression and repeated 1t to others.
Instead Of laughing they looked at
him, wondering whore the Joke was.
and he realised that to carry" your
wagon and tote things back was the
proper idiomatic expression. He even

conquerina SMALLPOX scouroe,


Smallpox is no longer feared by civ.
ilized mankind. This is partly due,
no doubt, to the immunization Of the
races through vaccination, and partly
to the better methods of sanitation
and preventive treatment generally.
In the first year of our occupation OF
the Philippines, where smallpox was
then an endemic or constant disease,
there were 675 cases among our sol.
diers and 240 deaths. A system OF
rigid vaccination was adopted, and in
the last five years there have been
only five cases and not single death.
The army records in Porto Rico tell
the same story, and seem to prove
beyond question the efficacy of vac.
cination. DR.. S. C. Rockhill of Gin.
cinnati reports that he has had much
success in preventing the pock mark.
ing Of the face in smallpox cases by
painting the pustules with lotion of
nine parts glycerine and one part
iodine. By this treatment also the
patients get over the attack in from
eight to fifteen days. Others prevent
the pitting by keeping the patients in
a room where no light whatever but
red light enters.-Pathfinder.

Planting the Peoples.

When the daffodils are in flower
the garden begins to regain the at
fractions which 1t lost in winter. and
the tasks which the spring imposes
are entered on with zest. Among the
most important is the sowing Of an
nuals. Two very common mistakes
should be avoided. Ope is sowing toe
thickly and the other sowing too deep
ly. An annual such as Shirley pop
py, when we'll grown, will occupy q
square foot OF ground at least, yet
in that space dozens, If not scores, OF
seeds are often sown. The result is a
tremendous waste, not only Of seeds
but also Of plants, for all that do grow
must be spoilt. unless they are thinned
quickly and severely.

PLAN TO FIGHT MOSQUITOES

Soldiers of the regular army who

know that experiments are going on
now with a kind of fortification that

that region. Col William C. Gorgas,

tary officer, has worked out scheme
for permanent lining of bitches
which will make them proof against
the breeding activities of the mos
quito. Having found that by con-
trolling the incubation of insects, the
fever situation was always kept in
hand, the zone sanitary department
turned its attention to the bitches
which are SO fertile a place for the
production of mosquitoes, and the
idea was hit upon of lining or "forti
tying them against the mosquito. So
now there is being tried Gatun a
new scheme for permanent ditch lin.
ing with concrete blocks, made of a
mixture of sand, cement and cinders.
After while there will be no chance
for the poor mosquito at all in the
zone. The army sanitarians are now
making tests to ascertain the effect

blown by the wind or travel with it

WHEN MUIR REJoIcED
NATURALIST WRITES ABOUT A
"NO6IE EARTHQUAKE"
Impressive Description Of Shocks lr
Yosemite Valley Which Gave Birth
to Z New Mountain Avalanche
Talus While He Looked.

"A noble earthquake! A noble
earthQuakel" exclaimed John Muir,
when he was awakened at hah-past
two o'clock of moonlit morning in
the Yosemite valley. For years he
had believed that the many great ava.
'anche taluses leaning against the
walls Of the valley at intervals of a
mile or two, had been caused by an
earthquake at least three centuries
befsre. and here was his chance to
make some observations. Never be-
fore had he enjoyed storm OF this
sort. but the strange, thrilling motion
could not be mistaken. and so he ran
out of his cabin, both glad and fright
ened as he made his exclamation.
The shocks were SO violent and
varied, and succeeded on another SO
closely" he writes in the Century,
that l had to balance myself care
fully in walking, as If on the deck
Of ship among waves, and 1t seemed
impossible that the high cliffs Of the
valley could escape being shattered.
In particular l. feared that the sheer
ironted Sentinel rock, towering above
my cabin, would be shaken down, and
took shelter back Of large yellow
pine. hoping that 1t might protect me
from at least the smaller outbounding
boulders."
The most impressive part of his de-
scription is of the sounds. "It was a
calm, moonlight night" he says, "and
no sound was heard for the first min
ute or so save low. mufied, bubbling
underground rumblings, and the whis-
pering and rustling Of the agitated
trees. as If Nature were holding her
breath. Then suddenly out of the
strange silence and strange motion
there came tremendous roar. The
Eagle rock, on the south wall about
half mile up the valley, gave way,
and l saw 1t falling in thousands of
the great boulders l had so long been
studying. pouring to the valley floor
in free curve luminSas from fric-
ton, making a terribly sublime spec
tacle-an arc Of glowing, passionate
fire, fifteen hundred feet span, as true
in form and as serene in beauty as
rainbow in the midst of the stupen-
dous rock storm. The sound was so
tremendously deep and broad and ear.
nest that the whole earth, like liv-
ing creature, seemed at last to have
found voice, and to be calling to her
sister planets. In trying to tell some.
thing Of the size of this awful sound,
1t seems to me that II all the thun.
der Of all the storms had ever heard
were condensed into one roar, IL
would not equal the rock roar at tho
birth of a mountain talus. Think,
then, Of the roar that arose to heaven
at the simultaneous birth Of the an
cient canyon taluses throughout the
length and breadth of the range!"
The Indians and many Of the white
men left the valley in terror Of this
earthquake, the final rumblings Of
which were not over for two months,
but Muir remained to study its ef-
fects. Among other things, he kept
a bucket Of water on his cabin table
to learn what he could Of the move
ments.
