How Chalk Is Formed.

Deposits of chalk are found on some shores of the sea. A piece of chalk. such as the teacher uses to illustrate something on the blackboard at school. consists of the remains of thousands of tiny creatures that at one time lived in the sea. All of their bodies, excepting the chalk-called carbonate of lime in scientific language-has disappeared and the chalk that was left was piled up where it fell at the bottom of the ocean, each particle pressing over it all until 1t became almost solid. It took thousands of years to make these chalk deposits of the thickness in which they are found. Later on, through changes in the earth's surface, the mountain of chalk was raised until 1t stood out of the water and thus be- came accessible to man and school teachers.

Not Afraid of Cold Steel.

In her younger days Eugenie, when empress of the French nation, was noted for her great courage, as the fol lowing incident proves.
 At a brilliant dinner party a some what tactless general told her majesty that women should not meddle in poli- tics.
 You know. madame" he said, "that politics lead to war. and if the worse came to the worst you would not have the nerve to face cold steel"
 "Wouldn't I?" cried the empress. "Ill show your And, snatching large knife from the table. she inflicted a deep stab on her arm.
 After that the general never broach- ed the subject of woman's lack of nerves again.

URGES HIGHWAY WORK
 FOR ALASKA COPPER

One hundred thousand dollars ex- pended by the Alaska Road Commits sion in constructing a bridge across the Nizina river and a wagon road from the Nizina to Mccarthy would add considerably to Alaska's high grade copper ore tonnage in the opin- ion of L. c. Dillman of the Alaska Westover Mining Company, who has been developing property in that re- zion for the last eleven years, says the Seattle Times of April 20.
 There are several large deposits of high-grade copper ore, but owing to the transportation difficulties they cannot be proftably shipped" said Dillman in Seattle today. There is any quantity of 30 per cent, copper. A road of about seventeen or eight cen miles and a bridge would make this ore valuable.
 elf the government would put in toll road it would pay for itself in ten years. There are eight or nine camps, all of which would ship some copper ore, and the road would also be a great convenience for the placer gold miners on Dan Creek and the tributaries of the Chititu River"

A Birds Barbed Wire Fences.

There is in Central America a brown wren about the size of canary which builds curious nest. It selects a small tree with horizontal branches growing close together. Across two of the branches it lays sticks fastened to- gether with tough fiber until a plat form about six feet long by two feet wide has been constructed. On the end of this platform nearest the tree trunk it then builds a huge dome shaped nest a foot or so high with thick sides of interwoven thorns. A covered passageway is then made from the nest to the end of the platform in as crooked manner as possible. Across the outer end as well as at short intervals along the inside of this tunnel are placed cunning little fences of thorns with just space enough for the owners to pass through. On going out this opening is closed by the own CT by placing thorns across the gate way. and thus the safety of the eggs or young is assured.

Onitina the Family.

How many households have fam. fly hour-a definite; time in the week when all the members of the fanlily gather in perfect serenity for an inter- val of genuine communion? Although, civilization brings many advantages in its train, 1t has the great fault of tend. ing to disrupt family intercourse. Each member has too many individual activ- ities. Fathers have their business: sons, their business or education: moth. CTS. their domestic duties or social oc. rupations; daughters, their business. their education or their social life.
 All these things are right and worthy in themselves. but they do not tend to weld the family. If members of q fam fly will make it rule to devote them selves for one hour in the week wholly to one another the spirit of family life will be quickened and strengthened Often the members of family pursue parallel courses that do not intersect It is mere platitude to point out that great events-travel, marriage, death and the like-must inevitably cause disintegration. But so long as the fam fly is together under one roof the spirit of union and common interests should be fOstered.-Youth's Companion.

THOUSANDS IN IOWA
 PARADE OPPOSE WAR

DUBUQUE, Ia., May 5.-Several thousand men, women and children, marching under many flags to the tune of "Yankee Doodle" and other patriotic airs, paraded the downtown district last night as demonstration against a war with Germany or any other country.
 Marching four abreast the proces'' sion was almost two miles long. Fol- lowing the marchers, hundreds of au- tomobiles, decorated with American flags, filled the streets. Many ban ners were carried by the marchers with various inscriptions. On one banner the inscription read: This is a democracy, not one-man govern ment."

THE MAIL BIDS.

So far as can be learned the bids for carrying the mail between the coast and Fairbanks by auto, during the summer months, have not been opened as yet, Chief Clerk Eames having been in Seattle on May l, the date set for opening the bids, and it is not known whether or not he has returned.
 Several bids were sent in from Val deg, and it is probable that the Val deg bidders will have an excellent chance of landing the contract, inas- much as the expense of running be- tween Valdez and Fairbanks is not so great, taking everything into con- sideration, as between Cnitina and Fairbanks It is said that to prevent the mail for the interior leaving Cor dova, the railroad would transport it to Chitina free of charge, thus eliminating this cost from the bid of any party desiring to run from Chit ina. Even with this expense removed Valdez still maintains an advantage in the lower cost of fuel. The freight charges on a case of gasoline from Cordova to Chitina is $1, or ten cents a gallon, which alone gives Valdez a decided advantage. Another advan- tage is that a successful bidder here would probau4y have no interference from other stage lines in the matter of freight and express, whereas there are two or three lines running to Chitina, and the business is naturally divided between them. Valdez bid ders, therefore, have two advantages which should enable them to make a bid considerably lower than the own CTS of lines running out of Chitina. Still third advantage is that pas senger can be landed in Valdez from Fairbanks practically as cheaply as at Chitina. The passenger is relieved of the necessity of paying SIS addi- tional railroad fare to reach the coast and this saving should bring large majority of the passengers this way. Thus assured of considerable freight, passenger and express busi- ness which would profit, the mail might be carried at figure that would merely meet the cost of oper- ation.

Some time ago a medical expert denounced the use of whiskey as a remdy for snake bite; and now comes another who says that raw meat is not a cure for a black eye.
