MISPLACED CHARITY.

A CHRISTMAS SHIP with 5000
 tons of food and 1000 tons tons of
 clothing will sail from New York on
 December one for Syria, to relieve
 the suffering existing in that country from the ravages of war. This is a glaring example of the sickly senti-
 mentality of the average American Organization. Thousands of families are more destitute today than any foreign family, who have been used to squalor, disease and dirt since they were born. Here in the Northiand there are thousands of souls who suf- fer through the long winters, with neither enough food nor clothing to last them through the winter, and with no kind, humane, loving hands to minister to their wants,-because it is not fashionable and the donors would get no newspaper publicity. There is hardly a native family in the Northland, especially on the isl. ands to the westward, and along the bleak coast from Dillingham; to Point Barrow who does not need food and clothing. There is not a native tribe to the westward that is not in actual want for the barest necessities year after year.
 These 5000 tons of food and 1000 tons of clothing would prove a god send to the natives of the north. Ev- cry season dozens of natives perish from cold and hunger. Unlike the Syrians and Armenians, who live in "a warm country and need little to sustain life, it takes a large amount of animal matter to sustain life in the bitter cold of the North It takes warm clothing and warm houses. A short run of salmon or poor catch of seals wipes out a whole tribe, as there is no other means of suste- nance. The citizens of the northern Alaskan towns waste nothing, either in food or raiment. They save all old clothing and what they can spare for the natives, Every town has some noble man or woman in charge of this work. But in spite of this many na- tives are compelled to pass the win ter clothed in less garments than the Syrian.
 Could these mistaken philanthro- pists who send millions of dollars in charity out of the country be brought to realize that there is as much or more suffering right in their dooryards, they probably might pause in their donations to warning coun- tries. The Alaskan native is more deserving, more honest, more grate- full and is more entitled to American charity than any of the war-mad in- habitants of the old country. They are peaceful. home-loving, hard-work- ing citizens. A man who can wrest a living from the barren shores of this inhospitabfe cline must neces-

The ceremonies at the creation of . knight have been various. The princi. pal were box on the ear and a stroke with a sword on the shoulder. John of Salisbury tells us the blow with the naked fist was in use among the an. rient Normans. By this it was that William the ConQueror conferred the honor of knighthood on his son Henry. It was afterward changed into a blow with the fiat of the sword on the shoul- der of the knight.

Four Rules for Right Reading.

A hint to readers that will, per.
haps, prove far more helpful than five
foot bookshelves and pigskin libra
ries, is contributed by Laura Spencer
Porter to the February Woman's
Home Companion.
LET us take Gibbons practice, .
she says, "as a valuable first rule
measuring our own ideas, our expe'
.rience, our knowledge, or, it may be-
our ignorance of the subject of any
given great book.
"And as a second rule, let us find
out from some good reference book
or biography the main facts about
the life of the author we are reading
and something about the times in
which he lived.
LAS third rule, let us make notes
on all. that we read seriously, notes
I mean, as we go, for it is but poor
f1attery to let friend do all the talk
ing and to make no comment on what
he says. This practice of making
notes is, I do believe, very essential
to a right use of books. I know there
are those who think it a bad thing to
mark a book; but to have too nice an
eye in this matter is to value paper
more than friendship. Let us mark
especially the places that give us
fresh thought, stimulus, pleasure; let
us mark those with which we agree
and those with which we disagree
stating our own views clearly.
"As fourth rule: Just as soon as
we feel that we know even two or
three great books let us compare
them with each other. Very much as
fine people agree on fundamentals so
we shall find these great authors
agreeing, as rule, in essentials, yet
all expressing themselves how differ
emily. Moreover, it is just in these
differences of expression that the
main distinctions of style lie, and it
is noting them carefully that we
shall better appreciate the personality
of a writer. Read Stevenson's dis
course, for instance, on Grabbed Age
and YOUTH and compare it with
Bacon's essay, of Youth and Age.
How in the very wording and manner
of speaking the two men seem almost
to appear before one.'

ly every morning and spend from one
to two hours working it, and in this
way I could keep up with the work
myself, and with the exception of
spading and one plowing never hired
any work done, and found quite a
lot of pleasure in it. I believe in
good seed-do not try to economtze
on seed. I order all seed from a re-
liable dealer, and buy the best they
list. T plant the year around, and
never let the grass grow. Select a
small piece of ground, fertilize we'll,

UNDINE.

Canning Garden Products.

Our garden was such surprise TO
our neighbors last year that it may
help others in planning and working

ed.
The garden is 107x62 feet, and is
comparatively new ground, only hav-
ing been worked three years, Is san
DIV soil on somewhat of a hillside,
and only had one hundred pounds OF
cotton seed meal to fertilize during
the entire year. February l I planted
two rows-62 feet-of mustard and
two rows of turnips, in beds. l use
the fiat rows except for early plant
ing. and think best to use beds. From
this we gathered salad every day Tor
a month-gave quite a lot to the
neighbors and sold 35 cents worth.
/ also planted two rows of turn1ps,
two double rows of Alaska peas, one
row beets. one row radish, and set
out four rows with Bermuda onion
plants and one row of lettuce plants
at same time. From the peas we
gathered one-half gallon every day
for ten days, had beets also every
day during the summer, and plenty

the English peas were gathered

wish I had kept an account of just
what was gathered from thenl-lt
was more than I ever saw from so
small place. They were planted
fat and earth drawn to them as they
grew, making them stand the drouth
well.
When the Crowder peas finished
bearing (August 14) had the place
spaded real close and deep and made
shallow trenches and planted Irish
potatoes, covered lightly, then cover
ed with pine straw about one foot
deep, and we had fine potatoes all
fall, and are still getting potatoes
from this bed.
The seed Irish potatoes were saved
from the spring planting. February
IA I planted nine rows-46 feet long
-of Triumph Irish potatoes and used
no fertilizer at all. had the ground

took the hoe and laid off rows and
planted potatoes and covered with
the hoe. I do not approve of using
a plow to cover potatoes. l never let
the grass grow in them at all. They
were never plowed, but dirt drawn
to them often with the hoe and spad-
ed between rows once.
When the potatoes were about
through making l planted prolific
corn between the rows, and when it
was about six inches high gathered
the potatoes-with the hoe-and

corn had the second working I had

very deep and helped it to stand the

THE whole sum and substance OF

side of explaining the temper of the

the resolution would carry in the

to vote. Some enthusiasts say it
would carry three to one.
There was a good deal of talk
about international law and pre-

resolution upon which both the Presi-
dent and Congress can agree. This reso-
luton may be offered by Representative
Flood. Flood planned TO see Secretary

idea.
Some House members expressed be-
lief that a compromise could be eff
fected. BY prescribing the maximum
calibre of armament which shall be
permitted on merchantmen for de-
fensive purposes, these Congressman
believe the President may be infu-
enced to approve resolution warn
ing Americans to keep Off armed ships
having over the maximum calibre.
The talk OF a compromise resolu-
ton, raised for the first time today,
met with considerable support from
both factions OF Democrats.
Chairman stone was frankly skep-
tical OF the hope. first expressed by
Speaker Clark, that Germany prob
ably will postpone action. He point
ed out that it might well have been
circulated with a view OF persuading
members that the President was go
ing too fast with his program.

yesterday. but 7 haven't been able to

Confident that the Senate will be

no action at all on Cores measure to
keep Americans off armed vessels.
This was in denial OF a report that
