DANGER FROM WHITE WOLVES
Mo Greater Peril Can Be Encountered
by Those Who Have to Travel
in the Far North.

Writing of his recent adventures in
the Arctic in Harper's Magazine, Don
aid B. Macmillan tells of a dramatic
meeting of his sledge team with a pack
of white wolves.
u thought we had better move
while we could, SO / ordered the men
to pack up their sledges and drive
over tc the battlefield. After going
q short distance, a yell from Pee-ah-
wah-to turned our attention toward
the south. Could we believe our eyes!
1t was like q picture from one of the
old books on travel in Siberia. Twelve
white wolves were leaping over the
snow directly at us. Fiction would
have us now fighting for our lives,
knives between teeth and rifles con-.
stantly going. On the contrary, we
prayed that. they would not stop, but
keep coming on. Undoubtedly they
would have done so had we been able
to control our dogs, who were now
wild with excitement, whining, yelp.

houted and threatened and dashed with

back with all our strength on the up
ISLANDERS Of the sledge. The leader of
the band stopped, surveyed us criti-
cally for an instant and wheeled, fol
lowed by the others. BY the time that
we could tear the covers from the
rifles they were out of range.

ELDER NOT ALWAYS T. BEST
Modern Science Has Thorc 'ly Dis
proved a Belief That Va Held
for Many Centuries.

There was q time when the eldest
son vas supposed to be sur ,rior in
all respects to his younger brothers.
That time is past. Modern science
has proved that when there is any
difference the eldest son averages
somewhat behind later-born children
in mental strength and ofttimes in
physical endurance.
Does this, perchance, help to ex-
plain why hereditary government is
SO unsatisfactory; why the direct
royal line so frequently runs out and
the crown shifts to the descendants
Of some younger brother; why the
first prince Of a new line is sc often
superior to any of his successors?
Under the royal rule the eldest son
of the eldest son takes the crown. If
there is even a trifling handicap in
being the first born the constant null
DUPLICATION of this handicap would
raise it to considerable proportions in
a few generations.
The Turks avoided whatever evils
may Turk in the law of primogeni-
ture. They allowed the sultan to
name his successor, but provided that
this successor must be the son of a
slave. In practice he was usually n
of the younger son of the monarch,
and always the child of a woman who
had wit or beauty enough to make
herself the leader of the harem. AS
a result Turkey had the most wonder
full succession Of able sovereigns
known in history, but the palace in
trigues and fratricidal wars to which
the custom gave rise proved intoler-
able.

ERA OF THE SLANG PHRASE
Common Speech of Modern Day Has
Become a Curiosity, to Old
Fogies' Regret.

AT this time the people can a man a
guy" a woman a skirt" and a dog a
mutt" Other samples of the speech
of the people are not essential. The
truth is that few "a say anything in
the old-fashioned direct way, says the
New York Sun. All have become so
accustomed to the use of slang that
the common speech is no longer com
mon; it is become a curiosity, rele-
gated to the obscure haunts of the
"hisnbrows'' and treated with scorn by
the workers of the world. While this
undoubtedly gives much JOY to Prof.
Brander Matthews, it saddens some
old fogies, who mourn the departure
of earlier and more elegant ways of
speaking, as they mourn the d~ecadence
of earlier and better manners. Per-
haps the two were unrelated, but they
were at least companions.
Is 1t not probable that if the young
ceased to call their elders "old guys"
or ~"geezers," to refer to other peoples
mothers as Skirts" or rags" and gem
orally began to lift their Technology
toward levels of a decorum less figura-
tive, if more prosaic, they might also
improve their manners? AT any rate
is there any overwhelming reason why
the youth Of this time should be al
most unacquainted with the plain Eng
lish tongue and unable to say the sim
plest thing except in slang? 1t is a
matter worthy OF the consideration of
those teachers and professors who
may perhaps not agree with the Co
lumbia sage that Everything goes"
