AIaska's HPupmobiIe,"

The "pupmobile" is passenger train drawn over a regular railroad track by dog power. It carries passengers from Nome, Alaska, across the level land near that town into the mountains.
 The track is narrow gauge railroad built in 1900. A high tax was placed on railroads in Alaska soon after that, and as there was not enough traffic over the road to justify the expense of operating locomotives, the regular train service was discontinued. Then the "pupmobile" was instituted. The accommodation for passengers con- sists of a platform on which are two seats. To this from seven to fifteen dogs are harnessed, and the rate at which they travel compares favorably with much of our rapid transit. "- Popular Science Monthly.

 There were at least six bundred present at the Memorial Day exercises. At about 10 a. Ill the pole wes erected on the Green. Half an hour later their colors were presented to the Home | Guard on the athletic field, and the procession marched to the Green. It consisted of the cornet band 22 pieces, two veterans with the Gregory Post flag, the Home Guard. about 60, Rum- sey Cadets 40, Red Cross ladies 40, and l 100 children of the public schools. At the pole the flag was presented by MT Calhoun and raised by LieuG. Cleve- land and sergeant Cox while the band played Star Spangled Banner and the men in line saluted. The band and spectators sang America and then the march to the cemetery began.
 There are>over forty soldiers graves besides some that are unmarked, and | they include two who were in the French wars and one in the Spanish. A wreath and flowers were placed on each by the children under Mrs. Frank Snyder's supervision, while the rest of the procession waited at the gates the band played sacred music.
 The return to the Green presented a very pleasing spectacle, the bands blue uniform, the white dresses of the Red Cross as giving a striking contrast. ! Luncheon followed, being introduced by the giving to the Guard of huge cake covered by an American flag, i'll colored frosting. After the luncheon came an exhibition drill by the Rumsey cadets which elicited much applause The chief speaker of tile day was Rev. E. c. Gillette, sthe excellence Of whose address has been generally pronounced unsurpassable. Many others followed at the call of the audience, and all receiv- ed good attention, and deserve it.

London Throuqh the Aqes.

The occupation of the site of London dates back much farther than most readers are aware The city that Julius Caesar found occupied site which had been inhabited for unnum- bered thousands of years. It is now known that during paleolithic and neo1ithic times-the two great divi- sions of the stone age-man dwelt on the site of London, but it first became the settlement of community at the opening of the historic age, when it was stronghold of the Celts. The remains of its Roman period are the finest of the kind in Great Britain
 The Anglo-Saxon and Danish periods are finely represented, and even later periods, such as the Tudor, furnish rel ics that have been buried by that strange process of superincumbent growth which makes the soil under a great city resemble the fossiliferous strata of geology.-Youth's Companion.

 Elau Sizes.

The United States army regulations, 1914, declare the garrison, post and storm flags to be national flags. They are to be made of bunting, and the union of each shall be one-third the area of the flag. t'The garrison flag will have thirty-siX feet fly and twenty feet hoist;" thus the length is propor- toned to the breadth as nine is to fue. This flag is furnished only to posts des- ignated in, orders from time to time and is to be hoisted on holidays and important occasions.
 "The post flag will have twenty feet fly and ten feet hoist" It is furnished to all garrison posts for hoisting in pleasant weather.
 '9The storm flag will have eight feet fly and four feet two inches hoist" All occupied posts fly it in stormy weather and it is also furnished to national cemeteries and recruiting stations.

AeropIane Special Delivery.

I do not. think the aeroplane will ,supplant the steamship and railroad as a mail carrier because it will be too expensive. It would take a very large number of flying machines, perhaps d hundred, to carry as much mail as we now get into mail car. You can cas- fly figure how this would increase the expense. It will have the same advan- tage in carrying mails as in carrying passengers, and that is speed. This statement also needs some qualifica- tion, for when 1t comes to quick com munication the aeroplane can never supplant the telegraph and the tele- phone. But we shall probably have q special rapid mail service by aeroplane, for which we shall pay higher price and buy a special stamp. The flying machine will give ten hour service between New York and Chicago and two day service from the Atlantic to the Pacific.-Orville Wright in liar per's Magazine.

neuver and handle arms he shall Thew wood and draw water" But any in telligent youth can learn all the high. CT arts if he tries hard. The first SteI is to make an all round man of him self, an athlete in embryo if nothing beyond. A half dozen exercises which can be done before reaching the dri. ground will make a hopeful subject out of greenhorn.
 As soon as a boy decides to be q soldier he takes to a soldier pose as he has seen it in real life or in print stands erect. In this position, with arms and hands extended upward, he can begin practice by bending forward on the hips till hands reach the knees which are unbent, legs stiff. The next motion is to return to the upright pose and bend forward again, with hands at the hips and legs rigid. From the erect position next bend body back. ward, with arms on hips and knees rigid. Two more movements, from erect position with hands on the hips are bending sidewise, right and left then rotation of the body from hips upward on the waist pivots. Good training this for sword and bayonet proficiency.
