Alaska Women Pretty.

A visitor remarked about the good
looks of Alaskan women, and the fact
that they dress with taste. OF course,
our Northern women are pretty. "Why
shouldn't they be?" queries the Anchor
age Times. They enjoy absolutely
pure air, drink water as fresh as that
from mountain spring, get plenty of
exercise, and take an active part In
community affairs. They are cosmo-
polisan the same as the men are, and
well-read and well-informed. AS every
one knows, there Is nothing so beauti-
full as good health. 1t is a joy even
to see an Alaskan girl swinging along
with a free, firm tread instead Of the
mincing step of her sister In the states,
who gives the impression she is step
ping on eggs. The Alaskan girl looks
you squarely in the eye, gives you a
frank hand-clasp and Is sure Of herself
at all times.

TALKING MACHINE OF 1772
Had Wooden Mouth With Lips of Soft
Leather, and Was invention of
Erasmus Darwin.

That someone was puZzling over tile
idea of making monograph as early
as 1772 Is proved by an extract from
a hitherto unpublished letter by DR..
Erasmus Darwin grandfather of
Charles Darwin) to Benjamin Frank
lin, quoted by DR.. L. Hussakof in Sci.
ence. II have heard" wrote DIR. Oar
win "of somebody that attempted to
make speaking machine. Pray, was
there any truth in any such reportsT
And DR.. l.. l.. Woodruff of Yale uni
versity quotes the following interesting
paragraph from note in the "Temple
of Nature" published by Erasmus Oar
win in 1902:
u have treated with greater conf
dence on the formation of articulate
sounds, as l many years ago gave con-
siderable attention to this subject for
the purpose of improving shorthand;
at that time l contrived a wooden
mouth with lips Of soft leather, and
with valve over the back part of it
for nostrlls, both of which could be
quickly opened or closed by the pres
sure of the fingers, the vocality was
given by a silk ribbon about an inch
long and quarter of an inch wide
stretched between two bits of smooth
wood little followed; so that when
gentle current of air from bellows
was blown on the edge of the ribbon
it gave an agreeable tone, as 1t vi
brated between the wooden sides,
much like human voice. This head
pronounced the p, b, m and the vowel
a with so great nicely as to deceive
all who heard it unseen, when 1t pro-
nounced mamma, papa, map and pam;
and had most plaintive tone when
the lips were gradually closed"

And such she was; her daughters had

NO MIDDLE CLASS IN CHINA
Display Of Only Most Expensive and
Cheapest Merchandise In Stores
Proves the Fact.

An observant traveller in China will
not fail to notice when purchasing ar
ticles of daily necessity, that there are
only two classes of articles-the most
expensive and elaborate and the cheap
est and crudest. This Is but q proof
of the absence of middle class, says
East and West News.
A fox fur gown worth q thousand
dollars or a giant herb valued at a
hundred dollars is not at all uncom-
mon in China, but practical and we'll
made articles that would be well
coined by middle-class men are hardly
obtainable. Those who admire Chi
nese handicrafts as achievements be-
yond the power Of Japanese artisans
do so because they have only seen ar
ticles intended for upper-class custom
ers willing to spend countless dollars
upon luxuries. Those, on the other
hand, who declare Chinese artisans
hopelessly crude, are men who have
seen only the cheap articles intended
for the masses.
Japanese who Judge the ancient arts
and industries of China by the best
productions of the Han, Tang, Sung,
Yuan, Ming and Ching dynasties that
have been preserved here, forget that
crude articles of common use have
never crossed the seq of Japan and
that only articles of the best kind
came here as merchandise during the
many centuries Of commercial inter-
course between the two countries.

STYLE FOR ARAB WEDDING
Bridegroom Must Ride Nervous Horse
Without Reins or Stirrups, in
Middle of Procession.

Coming through the streets of AL
giers of an evening you may meet a
noisy procession that causes you to
wonder whether 1t is food riot or a
reyolutionists' parade. This is an
Arab wedding procession, one of the
most ingenious devices ever developed
for the embarrassment and mental tor
ture of the bridegroom, says globe
trotter.
1t is headed by the father Of the
bridegroom, an elderly gentleman, who
PAGES soberly ahead, out of the con-
fusion, attended by few philosophi-
cal friends, all clad In white. Be
hind him come a mob Of young men
carrying torches and lanterns tied to
the ends of poles, beating drums and
blowing tin horns, yelling at the top of
healthy voices. The center of the
procession is made up of particular
friends Of the bridegroom, who burn
red and green flares In addition to
waving torches of the mllder sort. Be
hind them is a band of hired musi-
clans, trailed by all the small boys,
dogs and idlers Of Algers.
All this parade naturally attracts a
certain amount of attention. In the
middle of it, mounted on nervous
horse, very much embarrassed and
self-consclous, rides the bridegroom.
He seems to ride very unsteadily and
awkwardly, but closer observation
shows he is doing well to ride at all,
for friends have taken the stirrups
from his feet and the reins from his
hands so that he has to hold on by
force of gravity and his sense of equl-
librium. The red fire and the drums
generally stimulate his mount to SUI
perequlne activity, and II Is marvel
that none of the enthusiastic friends
get stepped on. The bridegroom, 1t
Is safe to surmise, is not sorry when
his triumphal procession Is over.
As for the bride, she escapes all
this. A few Of her girl friends ac-
company her on quiet procession of
her own in the afternoon when she
leaves her fathers house for her new
home.

THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 20 1917

History gives no instance of revo-
luton happening even in the most pos
sibly normal times that has not, after
overthrowiug the established govern
ment, gone 10 extremes and had to re-
coil upon itself and grope its way back
TO sanity, moderation and eventual es
tabished order. But the Russian re-
volution did not occur under normal
conditions. 1t was not patiently work
ed up to through the laws of evolution
airy progress, as the most successful
and benedcent revolution must be, but
was precipitated while the established
government was straining its every re
source in waging a foreign war that
called for the united energies and pat
riotism Of the whole people. What
wonder that the Russian people are
now but weItering social sea, crosst d
and crisscrossed by mad conflicting cur
rents, the whole chaotic mass ebulient
with the hell fires of anarchy!
The one end and hope for the Rus
sian revolution is self destruction. and
the swifter the better. Then will the
Russian people find itself again and re.
turn to the rule of order; and though
IL be despotic order it will yet be a
government-thanks to the then eXpe-
rience Of those who make it-contalning
an element leaving it capable Of pro.
gressive evolution ever toward greater
orderly freedom.
England once, through a revolutons
passed from monarchy to com
monwealth, and then from common.
wealth back to monarchy: but the sec
ond monarchy, because of the recent
experience of the people who restore d
it, was essentially different from the
one that had been overthrow by revo-
luton. The difference lay in the fact
that it was endowed with a soul ia the
form of an adjustable constitution,
which is living political organism,
continuously amenable to and mendable
through the laws of progressive evolu-
tion, politically, socially and economic
ally.
There Is no hope of progress in des
potic governments that rules by and de
ponds upon repression for its own
saftey. Such government is like a
steam engine without safety valve
and will sooner or later be destroyed by
self.exploson. There is only one worse
government than the one without
safety valve in the way Of a consttu-
ton and that is the kind the red.llag
people believe in, namely, government
