THE bill prohibiting the sale and

THE bill prohibiting the sale and manufacture of liquor in Alaska, as proposed by Delegate Wickersham, in Congress last week, appears to have emanated more from a desire to gec "even" with somebody than to have the best interests of the Territory at heart. The Delegate, if he has lived in the Territory for any length of time, knows that "bone dry" law cannot successfully be enforced here, and that the expense of attempting to enforce such a law would severely tax the resources of the Government of- ficials. To prohibit a party from having liquor in limited quantities in his own house and to attempt to infringe upon the rights of pharma- cists to handle alcohol and alcoholic remedies seems rather fanatical legis- lation. If the prohibitionists secure legislation curbing the worst of the liuuor evils we believe they will be we'll satisfied, without attempting tt infringe upon the rights of house. holders and of druggists.

ABOUT YOUR BOY.

THE father and son movement is one of the best and most sensible things we have heard of for lCEg time. That is because it proposes to accomplish results through using nat ural human instincts naturally. It appeals to the deepest of human foei- ings-love. It goes about to remind fathers of something they may have forgotten and to tell boys something they may not have known. You csp get at this better if you sit down aud talk confidentially with some ether fathers boy. He will tell you things your own boy cannot. In his wistfll carnestness you will discover that there are times when boy has real matter of grave importance to him that finds his father too busy to be bothered. It will make you stop anI think as you realize that this little fellow couldn't come to any other con- clusion than that his dad was indif- ferent. Fathers know better; fath- CTS remember pretty we'll when they were boys, but they don't remember just how sensitive boy is to that worst of rebuffs, that of being thot silly. Now, the boys need to be told this about tEeir fathers. that they are not indifferent to their interests. But after all the biggest thing is to tell fathers, for it is their business to un derstand and their is the responsi- bility.-Exchange

An Eakimo,s Dwelling.

We do not look for any great amount of inventive genius among the Eskt mos, but for years they have employed a rather complete respirator. used in the preparation and taking of vapor bath, as a means of protection from the dense smoke. This Eskimo resp1- rator is a little basket woven of twist ed strands of fine grass. It is placed with it's shallow side against the mouth. and wooden peg. which arises from the center of the basket. is held between the teeth. For this purpose water is evaporated over big fire in a very low hut. which is tightly closed to keep in the heat. In this stifing atmosphere the employ ment of a respirator is absolutely nee essary.-London Globe.

 How, then. did the name originate? Can you tellT'
 "Yes." answered the professor, with a smile. "The origin of the word in its present form is part of the folk lore of the place. The community was made up at first very largely of immi grants from North Carolina, who were not much given to the study of spell ing, but who cherished pride in their native state and determined to give the name of its proud old capital to their new city in the west. The capital of the Old North State was named for Sir Walter Raleigh of the spacious days of great Elizabeth The Missouri immigrants, not recalling the correct orthography of the name, spelled 1t automatically, as it seemed to them. for they supposed that a final "a was equivalent to a final 'y.' They spelled it R-o-l (rawD Ia 1y). And that was the origin of the word that seems to give you so much pleasure."-Youths Companion.

Drying and Crsmatino Corpse In Cen.

 In Central American and West h. dian Archaeology" T. A. Joyce de- scribes the ceremony of corpse drying. which was followed year later by cremation. He uses Andagoya's ac. count of the details observed at the decease of the Cacique Pocorosa:
 The body of the dead chief was deck ed with golden ornaments and wrap ped in his richest cotton cloths. The heir and principal men then assem. bled and suspended the corpse by cords in the house. placing beneath several pans of lighted charcoal. While 1t was drying it was watched continually by ten of the chief men, who sat round 1t night and day wearing black man. ties which covered head and body. No one else was allowed to enter the nut. and from time to time one of the watchers would strike series of slow strokes on a drum, this action being followed by chant in monotone in which the principal actions of the de ceased were enumerated. When the body was dry It was removed to the house of the new chief, where it re mained suspended for year.
 On the anniversary a great feast was held. at the conclusion of which the deceased. with his arms and models of his canoes. was burned in the court yard. It was stated that the smoke went to the place where his soul was. but the exact whereabouts Of the soul itself was not specified.

PRAISE MEAL FROM NEW CORN
Delicate Nutty Flavor Results From

from the sqirrel and test the delicacy
Of newly harvested grain.
The south has long been aware Of
the superiority Of the fresh meal, but
has wrongly ascribed 1t to the process
OF water power and burr-stone grind
ing. Now como the government ex-
perts and declare the process of mill
ing has nothing whatever TO do with
the flavor of the meal, but that the
delicate nutty flavor of this burr
stone product is the result of grind
ing the oily germ with the starchy
kernel.

eat more corn products In order to
supply their allies with the wheat TO

customed, but this duty will be made
