VALUABLE FIND IN ALASKA
University of Pennsylvania Museum Enriched by Collection of Eth
 noloCleAl Specimens.

The University of Pennsylvania mu- scum has received and placed on ex- hibltiOn a remarkably fine collection of ethnological specimens secured by Louis ShOrtridge, a full-blooded In- dian, who for three years has been exploring in unknown southern Alaska for the museum at the cost of John Wananaker. He has sent many col- lectiOns, but the last is the finest group of the whole.
 His latest trip was up into the mOun- tains, where he secured a vast amount of ceremonial material which was for the most part made g century or two ago. It is parted with now only be- cause the Indians have become we'll nigh extinct and those younger mem- bers of the tribes who remain have lit- tie interest in ancient ways because they are taking on civilization.
 There Is a collection of poles or sa- cred standards used in ceremonial dances, handsomely carved and deco rated with the totem of the bearer. There are some amazingly lurid masks, which were used In the dances, and some costumes which are richly deco rated. Some are made of buekskin, but others are of Hudson's bay traders cloth elaborately embroidered. Alto gether MT. ShOrtridge has sent about 1000 specimens and these are often unique and as whole are unequaled.

RUSSIA'S RICH TIMBER LANDS
Systematic ExpOrtatIon Would Have q
 Great Effect on the Markets ] of the World.

An article in current magazine by A. J. Sack presents statistics on Rus Sia's forest resources as a means of paying the billions of dollars due to home and foreign creditors.
 The astonishing statement is made by this writer that Russia, including Siberia, has 1,125,OOO.OOO acres of tim Der which is 63 per cent as much as the whole world possessed. This re- source is being set aside by Russian economists as fund to pay the cOun- try'S debts.
 The effect on Amerlca's business should be duly considered, observes Hardwood Record in discussing the ar ticle. Except oak, it continues, which is generally known in the market as the Japanese oak, it is not probable that much Russian timber will reach the United States; but it will compete with American lumber in other mar kets, notably those of western Europe, and perhaps those of eastern Asia, western South America and the Pacife islands.
 "To that extent" says Hardwood Record, ''our lumber business may be hurt by the flood of forest products from Russia. In normal times Ger many received AS per cent of its lum- Der imports from Russia, and Eng lands per cent of timber imports from that source was nearly as large.
 Lumber shipments from Russia will come from the Baltic, from the Arctic coast of Russia proper and Siberia, and from the Pacific coast of the lat, ter country. The principal lumber markets of the world can be reached from those points"

REGARD COLD AS SERIOUS
Medical Authority Warns Against Con- temptuous Altitude Too Often
 Taken by Those Afflicted.

The ultrawise citizen of male per suasion devotes part of the. sweltry summer days to the unsympathetic task of selecting his winter overcOat- a wise and sometimes money-Savins piece of foresight. Other perspirins ones are buying coal. In summer pre- pare for winter. It is probably in this spirit that the very midsummer num- Der of Boston Medical and Surgical cal Journal touches upon the Decem- bery subject of colds, and 1t is pre- eisely in this spirit that we translate R few injunctiOns from the medical writing of Dr. D. c. Dennett in the Journal.
 Treat colds early and carefully Colds are simply the first stages of pneumonia. tuberculosis and many other ailments. When you have a cold you are In the beginning of a serious disease. which may develop if you neglect 1t. In military camps the order Is that colds be reported upon the appearance of first symptoms.
 Do not poke a cold with medIcated cotton on a stick. Do not take aspirin except for pain Do not spray a cold. Do not take quinine and whisky. hut treat cold seriously because it is a serious disease. Consult a doctor.

MADE THE CHAIN COMPLETE
in His Excitement Rather Gave Away Secret He Should
 Have Kept.

Attorney General Gregory tells this piquaRt story of a prominent ttRaR= cieF nnd well-known physician!
 The money juggler called at the of fee of his family physician one morn ing and told him with much concern that his only son was suffering from diphtheria. The doctor was solicitous but pssnped the financier that with the care given in the hospital TO which the boy had been taken he would pull through nicely. "Of course" said the medico. mo one Is safe when that terrible disease is around"
 But" said the father, "the boy con- fessed to me that he is sure he caught the disease from the parlor maid whom he had kissed"
 "Well, young people are certainly very thOughtless," unused the doctor, ''Tm sorry to hear that your son has been so indisc"eet."
 "Yes, of course, doctor" said the financier, nervOusly, "but don't you see, to be frank with you-I have kissed the girl. Do you think I, too, will have the disease?
 "Why, yes" said the doctor. "You are probably already infected. In fact, that would be the very next thing to expect"
 "Oh, that's awful" gasped the finan- cier, "and kiss my own dear wife every morning and evening. so she, too"
 Good heavens!" cried the phy. sician, jumping up excItedly, then I. too, will have it t!"-nlustrated Sunday Magazine.

oId.rlme Barley Bread.

We find more entertainment than in- structiOn in an editorial of the Hart. ford COurant on the revised use ot barley. It refers to its use in Bibie times and finds this verse in the Book of Judges to give an idea of its Qual- ity:
 And when Gideon was come. be- hold there was man that told a dream unto his fellow, and said, Be hold, dreamed a dream, and To, a cake of barley bread tumbled into the host of Midian and came unto a tent and smote it that 1t fell and over turned it, that the tent lay along."
 The COurant seems to approve of the use of barley flour, though admit ting some difficulties in preparing 1t for bread. But it takes this Bible verse as evidence that It's density would make it serviceable as a pro- jectile-Waterbury American.

WAS GIFT TO QUEEN VICTORIA
First Pekingese Dog Brought to Eu. rope a Present From the En-

Pekingese dogs have been known to the western world little more than half a century. During the footing of the Imperial palace at Picking, an Eng fish soldier picked up a dog belong ing to the empress. Her attendants attacked the Tommy en masse. He suggested that the dog be sent as a gift from the empress to Queen Vic taria.
 The plan was agreed to and the dog was sent to Buckingham palace, where he was known as LOoty. Other dogs took exception to his appear ance and made him wish he were back in China. When the prince and princess of Wales returned from trip to the continent, the princess per Suaded the queen to let her take him to her home at Sandringham. The princess thought LOOty's loneliness should be ended, since he couldn't make friends with any English dog, so she sent to China for a mate of his own kind,
 The fad started by the princess was taken up by London society and the breeding of Pekingese dogs be- came so popular that London dog shows have sometimes been devoted exclusively to the new type.
