There Is q deep mystery enveloplng
the Eszimos. They may be called the
people OF the north pole. for they dwell
farther north than any other race and
partially surround the Arctic end OF
the earth's axis. When they are
brought down into the temperate zone
they waste away.
According to the Encyclopedia Amer

existence does not exceed 10000, and
these are scattered all across the
northern end OF America, the Arctic
Islands, Greenland. and a part Of the
coast OF Siberia They do not extend
farther south than from 55 to so de-

for any reason breast milk can not be

Experience in many thousands Of
cases has shown that cows milk is .he

Neither condensed milk nor the infant
foods sold in the stores are so good as

But TO have clean milk it is neces-
sary to have clean cows. clean harms,
clean mixers. clean pals. and clean

subject OF milk. The country mother
is often able to see the conditions un-

~ PHILADELPHIA, Pa, June 12.-The
famous widows mite" has re-
- Gently come into the possession
OF the Philadelphia mint It is the
smallest coin ever circulated anywhere
in the world. so far as can DO ascer-
tanned, and was dug up close by the
ancient site Of the stored Temple Of
Jerusalem, in Palestine. A Baptist
clergyman, Rev. William Barclay,
brought IL to this country.
Mr. DOoley says 40 gift ever be-
slowed by Mr.. Carnegie or anybody
else has made such a noise in the
world as the two mites dropped into
the contribution box by the poor wild
oW Of Jerusalem.
Accepted Value Incorrect.
Realizing which, il is interesting to
consider how much the widows gift,
in a merely peCuniary sense amount
ed TO. The English translation OF the
gospel OF Saint Mark states that II
was half a farthing," but this is very
far from being correct II was not,
as a matter OF fact anything like so
much as that
A nunaismatic expert has gone to
the trouble OF figuring the matter out
with accuracy. He states that the
unit Of the ancient Roman coinage
Palestine in the time Of Jesus, OF
course, was a Roman province-was
me As OF DOuAu- II hel6 uEl-s
ally, y ounces. and on il was stamped
q sheep. Whence the word pecun-
larry" relating 10 money. from the
Latin ''pecus," meaning a flock
But the As in the course OF time
underwent various changes Being
gradually reduced in size. and pro-
portionately in value, 1t fell at length
70 a weight Of half an ounce. This was
what il weighed in the time of Jesus
when it was worth only a trifle over
3 farthing, or about half Of one Of our
bronze cents
Was One-sixteenth Of a Cent.
It is necessary to make this ex-
PLANTATION in order to show clearly AMI
exactly what was the value Of the
widows mite. For If. ignoring the En-
glish translation Of Saint Mark, we 20
back to the earlier Latin version. we
find that il says: There came then
q certain poor widow, who cast in
two minuta (mites), which make a
qUadrans-' But the quadrans was the
fourth Of an As; 50 that. the mite
being the half Of a quadrans it must
have had a value OF only the eighth
