Perfect Watch.

When part of the Shackleton expe-
ditiOn to the Antarctic land was ma
rooned ut Elephant island they had
only one timekeeper, and it hung over
Il blubber stove for four months, in
the smoky atmosphere of a hut made
Of stray pieces of wood. blocks of ice,
odd bits of canvas and an upturned
boat. But this is only a part of its
history. The watch belonged To the
man who had charge of the motor
sledges, and 1t was reported that in
the two and one-half years of the eX-
petition this watch was never altered,
never stopped going and gained just
one minute.
The following incident from an Eng
fish paper shows how important a
chronometer is on an expedition of
this kind.
At one period, in order to accom-
plish an arduous march, Sir Ernest
ShackeltOn told his companions to dis
card all their personal belongings. Ii
was imperative To march light" Sir
Ernest himself set the example by
throwing away 30 sovereigns (per-
haps, had they been treasury notes
instead Of gold he might have retained
them), and everything else went but
six pairs of sOX, one pound of tobacco
and one pound of cocoa-and the
watch.

ONE VIEW OF A PESSlMlST
Most People Will Agree That IL
is Largely Truth.

A pessimist is son of the man who
didn't believe there was any such
thing as electricity.
He Is an offspring of the man who
was sure that the horseless carriage
would never come, and nephew of
the man who was willing to bet that
men would never fly.
A peSsimist is direct descendant
OF the man who was sure that wireless
telegraphy was a fools dream and a
submarine merely the creation of fic-
ton writer's brain.
The pessimist's ancestry scoffed at
the telephone, the typesetting machine,
the 20-stOry building, anesthetics and
every forward step the optimists have
taken for the betterment of human
life.
If the pessimists of the past had
been right men would still be living in
caves and trying TO get their meals
with clubs and flint arrows. And evil
IDENTIFY they died without publicly con-
Tossing their mistakes, for their pes
simistic children continue to prophesy
dismally that everything that is surely
going to be cannot possibly come 10
pass. They seem TO be born with the
habit and cannot get over it.-Detroit

Prison Journals in Japan.

1t is an interesting fact that the
large prisons in Japan are publishing
journals for circulation among the con
victs. AS Il means of perpetuating the
memory of last years imperial corona
ton, the prison authorities started the
publication of monthly journals for the
benefit of prisoners, who are Of course
practically cut off from news of the
outside world. These papers, which
are mostly filled with moral stories and
other neutral matter considered suit
able for prison inmates, are edited and
published by the prison officials, and
are reported TO enjoy great popularity
among the convicts. The journal pub
lished by the Kosuge prison, Tokyo, is
entitled Mado-no-Hikarl (The Light of
the Window and that issued by the
Sugamo prison, Tokyo, is called Kinen
(Commemoration). Both are said to be
very credltable publications.-Japan

What the Rabbit Costs Australia.

The state of South Australia has,
since 1891, erected 29,148 miles of
"Nermin fences" enough to encircle
the globe and with the remnant build
a double line of fence along the south
ern border OF the United States. When
contracts now running are completed
the mileage will be much increas ed.
New South Wales has expended over
S27 100000 for rabbit determination and
has within its borders $4,000 miles of
fence. One of West Australians fences
extends entirely across the continent
OF late years the rabbit has been re-
paying in part for his keep-paying
board, as IL were He goes to swell
the total of food exports from the
commonwealth. Along the country
roads rabbits may be seen hung on
the fences awaiting the passage of the
rabbit carts which convey them to the
packing houses to be prepared for
shipment as frozen meat and hides
Practically all are exported (the Aus
tralian does not eat "vermin'), and
during 1913 frozen rabbit and hare to
the value of 100000 and skins to the
value of $3,000000 were sent from
commonwealth ports.

That Is the opinion Of most casual
observer. The truth Is that the
changes are more drastic than even
the reporters and prophets felt they
would be. Paris has been insidious
In introducing silhouette that will
grow as the days lengthen and that
will soon make the gowns of yesterday
look too old-fashioned for even trivial
uses, unless they are altered by "a
skillful hand.
What Is known as the American
uniform was consplcuously lacking
during the first openings In Paris,
but Nine. Paquin, Doeuillet and Dire
coll came out with tailored suits that
met the expectations of the American
buyers.
The Paquin ones were particularly
good, but no one style was emphasized.
Nine. Paquin has always liked the
three-quarter coat and she was the
first person 10 revive Ii q few years
ago. 1t was then regarded as too old
fashioned for any American woman to
take up, and yet, a year after, 1t was
universal In this country.

WHEN ONES LIFE is SHAPED
Not In the Cradle, But From IL to 10
Years Of Age, Prof. Earl
Barnes Declares.

""The hand that rocks the cradle

period. All great educators know
that" Earl Barnes said In his lecture

given by Mr.. Barnes before the Uni

Nothing Is more tragic than the re-

until il goes out from the routine and
stays out. If genius were respectable

A Curtain Hint.

The hot sun shining through the
glass always rots the bottom of the
curtain before the upper half is near
worn out. So this spring. whatever new
curtains you get, make them with
hens of equal size at both ends. Each
time before they are taken down TO
wash, mark the bottom with a thread.
Then when they are put up again,
put that end on the pole.
This Is very little trouble and
lengthens the Life Of curtain con-
siderably.

lean Women VIII Adopt
the Fashions Originating
Across the Sea.

New York.-There are quite enough
from Paris to make every woman
shake her head In despair and say that
she must have new gown, whether or
not her dress allowance can be
stretched to cover 1t.
There are women who hold out that
the gowns Of autumn can be renovated
TO meet the demands of spring, and
the forehanded person has already
been at work In the sewing room hav-
ing her skirts reshaped and her bod
ices built up or down to meet the re-
quirements Of the hour.
The dressmakers are divided Into
two classes Of opinion; those who are
worried over the seeming similarity
between the spring gowns and those of
last autumn, and others who are blow
ing the trumpet loudly to proclaim
that the modern silhouette compels
every woman to discard whatever she
has and buy things that are new.
Paris has spoken, however, and no
matter how intense our patriotism, we
listen and hearken to the words that
come from the city by the Seine. That
is the phrase one hears on every side
among the commercialists. We know
what we should wear. The gowns
have been shown our buyers, and as
many as possible have been shipped to
this country. We may talk all we
please about our own fashions follow
ing our own flag. but all fashions be-
come ours after they have had their
source In Paris, In limited district OF
the city.

Ing is to be feared from the new styles.

IS A GOOD SALESMAN

Captain C. A. Boerner. who Is to leave early in the coming week for Fairbanks to resume his vocation as river pilot with the opening of navigation, has been acquiring d reputation as a salesman recently which will stand him in good stead should he decide to desert the pilot house for the less romantic career of counter-jumper. He has so successfully disposed of various art- clcs of personal property which he did not desrie to take with hmi that his associates at the N C. store, probably actuated by envy of his ability, have been having some fun with him The other day big placard made its appearance in the store detailing several articles of personal adornment which the captain was supposed to have for sale, and it wound up with the assertion that he was prepared to buy ''pure gold dust at s per ounce. And such Is their belief in his luck that they fully expect that Boerner will have offers made to him at this figure.
