acres in extent; but George B. Black of

Fortunate Prlbllott Islanders.

A curious and interesting people are
the Pribiloff Islanders in Bering sea.
When the United States government
took over the islands, along with
Alaska, the Russian colonists became
in a measure wards of the nation, but
they have remained true to the infu-
ence to which they were first sub
jected, and In some respects are to-
day more Russian than American at
heart. All of them are members OF
the Russian church, and all of them
have Russian names, selected for the
most part from among the nobility.
The United States government has in
this instance been a faithful guardian
Of a primitive people. The result is
that today they are the most highly
civilized, best clothed, best fed, and
most healthy Of all the natives OF
Alaska

ALL WASTE NERVOUS ENERGY
Everywhere People Squander Their
Force Needlessly Instead of Care
fully Outstanding It.

People should be as careful of their
nervous energy as OF their money,
says an English writer. Yet we all
waste 1t. At the telephone people talk
twice as loudly and energetically as is
necessary. That is to say, they use
up twice as much nerve energy as
they need. Three-fourths of those
who have to catch trains every morn
ing spend as much nervous force in
one day as should last a week.
Then, in the streets, watch how peo-
pie jostle and push, and what lot
OF nerveforce they spend at danger
GUS crossings. Why not walk slowly
when there is obstruction, and wait for
the quiet moment, which always
comes, at the crossing? Everywhere
people hurry without need, getting in
TO a state OF nervous tension when
leaving theaters, boarding omnibuses,
going to lunch, and especially when
leaving for a holiday.

Spectators at a fire witnessed an
interesting. II tragic, example Of the
actions of bird which was guided
only by the instinct that its home
was in danger. The flames had be-
gun to creep along the edge of the
tower and every shingle on the roof
was pulling little jet of flame,
when down wheeled a pigeon which
had been dislodged from the tower
and lit in the midst of the fire and
smoke. Picking its way along, utter
oblivious to the flames that must
have been singeing it's feathers, the
pigeon went straight for its nest. A
tongue of fame leaped out and the
pigeon scared into the air. Then, as

plea for the Sparrow.

Every little while some one starts
an agitation against the sparrows.
which are so plentiful in all our parks
in the north during the wintertime,
claiming that they drive other birds
from their nests and that they litter
MP suburban piazzas. But the spar
rows, with the doves. bobolinks,
finches. quail and blackbirds, are
friends to the gardener at all seasons
and times, because they eat weeds.
And the sparrows, because of their
pluckiness and numbers, lead all the
others as weed destroyers. In the
wintertime, sparrows exist almost en-
tirely on weed seeds, as the ground is
altogether too hard in the northern

There are thousands OF American

and indulgently to their women folks;

IS. 1t pleases their vanity to see their

WHAT WE OWE TO WOMEN
Ever They Have Been the Makers
of the Home and Providers
Of Comfort.

Social progress with primitive wom-
en- was stimulated and encouraged by
their relation to home life, to dress
and to manners. We have already
alluded to the women as the authors
of the home or shelter. 1t is the fe-
male bird that makes the nest, the
female mammal that digs the burrow
for her young and the female bee that
makes the honeycomb as home for
hers. The human female more than
all the rest created her home. But
not only is this true, but she differen-
tiated the home, and all parts of the
most elaborate establishment were
instituted by her or on her account.
The first homes were cheerless
caves. Fire could not be made in
them because of the smoke, so wom-
en- sought out cave with an opening
in the rear, or a rock shelter with a
nigh curved roof. When she became
a dweller in a tent she searched for
the oldest wood, learned the myste-
ries Of the fuel problem and even in
vented the coral to induce the wind
to draw little of the smoke there
from and to increase her comfort.
To the women of the household we
are indebted for the oven, the chin
ney and the chimney corner, the
kitchen. the dining room, the family
room. the separate bed chamber. tt

sulting in comfort, taste and morality.
