CARRYING MAILS
IN THE ARCTIC

A bid for carrying the mails
5000 miles iI the depth of an Arc
tic winter over the mountains of
northern Alaska when the snow lies
so deep there scarcely is a bottom,
has just been received by the Post
Office department. The bid came
from Charles D. Bower of Point
Barrow, Alaska, the most northern
post on the continent and a close
rival for the northern honors with
any in the world.
Brewer wants to carry the mail
from Point Barrow to Kotzebue
sound, 500 miles southwark. The
man who gets the contract must
make three round trips each win
ter when the seas are frozen and
transportation by dogs and sled
overland alone is possible in that
region.
His bid was sent to Command
ant Bertholf of the revenue cutter
service, whom he knew in the Arc
tic and by him forwarded 10 the
postoffice department. Rrowner's
letter was more than two months
in getting to Washington from
Point Barrow. He has lived in the
Arctic thirty years and is the only
white man who inhabits that far
northern community. He is en-
ployed by an American Fur Com
pany.

"Some day" Is the one day Of the
865 that has no place in the calendar
and Is still the most popular day for
making disagreeable engagements. II
is the day that every idle dreamer
chooses to begin the monumental work
that 1t Is to make his fame and for
tune.
Today is always huddled. crowded.
too hot or too cold, too wet or too dry.
Today is out Of the question. But
some day. lies in the far golden haze
Of the future that seems to have in II
the infinite leisure of eternity. And so
we defer till the more convenient sea.
son that never comes what ought to
be done instanter, without taking heed
of our own feelings, our plausible OBJ
jections. and permitting the creeping
paralysis Of overmuch debate that
keeps the arm from striking while the
iron is hot
These prophecies that begin with
'some day" and good resolution are
rarely converted into the past tense
The man of action makes bis plans so
berly and takes the facts where he
can get them that will help him to de
eide what TO do But when his mind
is once made up he goes ahead without
telling you much about 1t. He does not
boast. He is too conscious Of his own
faiI:hility to be cocksure of brilliant
and secure results.-Philadelphia Led.

Restaurants.

A restaurant is a place where you
pay four dollars for fifteen cents
worth Of food, accompanied by about
two dollars worth of light labor, light
china and light music, which you have
heard before. After leaving your hat
with Wall street syndicate, you pay
all the way from ten cents to q quar-
ter for the privilege of getting 1t back
and wearing 1t once more. The diff
ference between a man and woman
indeed today is quite simple. A wom-
an pays fifty dollars all at once for
her hat, while man pays five dollars
for his and f1fty-five more In tip in
stallments for storage at restaurants
while he Is vainly trying to obtain
enough nourishment to sustain life
between times.
The object Of all restaurants Is to
furnish you with everything you want
except nourishment. This is carefully
extracted from all food before It
reaches you.
Every restaurant nowadays has at
tached to 1t a homeless hotel and a
drugless drug store, also q newspaper
stand, where you can buy a paper for
not over twice what you can get it
for almost any night you don't want
them at the same rates. Every res
taurant also has a wine cellar, which
Is filed with native cobwebs, Euro
pean labels and California grape Juice.

Temple for worshipers Of IsIs.

While taking a stroll on the FORTH

bly, surprised to find myself face to
face with very curious little build
ing. 1 could not help exclaiming to
my companion, Have we been trans
ported by magic to the banks of the
Nile?" Curious to know the history
OF this construction, which has all the
air OF an Egyptian temple, I made in
quiries in the neighborhood, and was
informed that it had been erected
some ten or twelve years ago by the
members Of strange society, sup
posed to be worshipers of Isis, and
that they used to meet there every
Thursday and Sunday. These gather
ings lasted only for six months, for,
as Is. usual with such little sects, the
society came to an early end through
lack Of funds. After remaining empty
for some time the building was taken
over by wineshop keeper, but he,
too, had Ill success, and was COM
PEELED to. close his doors. Had the
wine seller opened such a building as

Profitable Dreams.

Authors and musicians are not the
only dreamers Of profitable dreams.
st. Augustine records that a disciple
Of his, having to lecture on Cicero's
rhetorical books, was baffled by a GER
tain passage. He slept, and in a dream
his master, who was really far away
and unconscious Of the whole thing,
appeared to him and expounded the
passage. In 1898 Herr Hilprecht, pro-
lessor Of Assyriology in the University
Of Pennsylvania, was worried over
two small fragments of agate found
at Babylon, of which he had received
drawings. In his dream a tall, thin
Assyrian priest told him they be
longed together" being portions of
an inscribed votive cylinder which had
been cut up to make earrings for the
statue Of a god. The professor found
next day that the fragments did fit
and make continuous inscription.

New Women Of Persia.
Persian women are essentially fem

Dress, 1t will be observed, comes

In Teheran, in place OF the face ven
