PAID HIGH MONEY FOR STEAK
First That Was Brought to Circle City
Caused Keen Competition Among
the Miners.

Probably the highest price ever pald
for a beefsteak was that charged at
Circle City, Alaska. The first steak
that ever reached that town is SAID
to have sold for something like S4S a
pound. There were ten pounds of THIS
steak, which was shipped 40 miles t."
Circle City. When the owner OF the
precious bit of meat reached the camp
the miners turned out in q body 10 see
it. 1t was placed on exhibition, and
attracted as much attention rs II 1T
were the rarest of gems. Everybody
wanted a piece of it, and the prices
offered were such as would have re-
suited in mining-camp quarrel If it
had not been for the discretion Of the
owner, who decided TO raiilu he steak
off for the benefit of a hospital that
Bishop Rowe was trying to establish
for the miners at Circle City.
Bids were started at So a pound and
rose briskly to $50. Finally, i'll order
to avoid complications, it was deter
mined to sell tickets at prices from 90
cents to $3.50 for the privilege of draw
ing for Slice After $3.50 worth of
tickets had been sold, the drawing be-
gan, and, to the relief OF those in
charge Of the sale, no trouble resulted.

Danger in Handling Gs soIine,

The publication Of the National
Safety Council, in q recent issue, gives
some instructions to those who are
making use of gasoline, which, it says,
should be kept and used only in small
quantities, and used only by expert
enced employees who realize the dan
ger in using this volatile fluid and
know how to handle it safely. Case
line should be handled in small safety
cans. equipped with safety gauze and
safety stopper. Gasoline is exceeding
ly volatile and will vaporize when eX
posed to the air at any temperature
down to Is below zero. This vapor
is nearly three times as heavy as
air, and when mixed with the
proper quantity of air becomes
violently explosive. The vapor viii ig-
mite from any open flame, even from
spark of static electricity from
a human body, spark from an
emery wheel, or from a sufficiently
heated surface. The gasoline vapor,
being heavier than air, will natu
rally seek lower level, and if confined
where there is poor ventilation, Will
sometimes remain in an explosive con-
ditiOn for months.

HUMAN NATURE NOT CHANGED
incident of Ethiopian History That
Bears Some Testimony as to
the Matter.

Itlanersa was q pipuS king OF Ethl-
opia He built temple to the glory
of Anon Of Napata under the oyerhang
of a great cliff. 1t was scarcely more
than dedicated before the shelf of the
cliff fell. Itlanersa lost interest in that
particular god.
But the piety of his successor, Sen
kr-amon-seken was of more tenacious
fiber. He rebuilt the broken walls,
cleared away the dust and stones anu
put his name on the foundation rocks
beside that of Itlanersa. He was. now
ever, no better judge OF the behavior
of cliffs. New flakes fell oH and put
the temple out of business. Not until
four centuries later did u king rise IN
Ethiopia who thought enough OF Anon
of Napata to restore the sanctuary, anu
then he did a halfway job. Ihe
Egyptian expedition of Harvard uni
versity found that out when II was
prowIing through the temple. Back OF
the stones were affairs and statues
Just as Senka-amOn-seken had caused
them to be replaced and the unvloiated
names of the founder and first reStorer.
We have recited this tale because II
it were changed little, it might be
a story of our own times: Men still
build with love in their hearts, but
give I'D when accident happens. There
is stirl unwisdOm in the consideration
Of the chances of disaster. Folks are
content to clear away a little dust and
let the most of it stay. The Kingdom
of Ethiopia has faded from the earth,
but human nature has so little altered
that Itlanersa and Senka-amOn-seken
and the unknown ruler OF four cen
turies later might be born again and
have the company Of their exact likes
Toledo Blade.

According to report of the vice

According to a report of the vice
consul at Havana, raw pasture in that
country is selling at SD TO so an
acre. The beef raised upon it IS
worth 61b to cents a pound
on the hoOf. 1t is plain that the
Cuban cattleman Is making no more
money than his neighbor in the
United States. Yet good number Of
ranchmen from this country are max
ing plans for the purchase of land
there. The success of certain Ameri-
can interests in growing cattle in Ven
eZuela has encouraged others to make
the venture outside the confines of the
United States. All of this is an indi-
cation that in this country the day "i
the big ranch is passed. If we are
to have an adequate meat supply 1t
must come from the farm of average
size where the raising of live stock
goes hand in hand with the tilline Of
the soil, says Houston Post. Only IN
that way are our farms to be kept fer
tile and our cities fed.
