rather knit a pair of socks than have
to take a knot out of one sock.
So much has been said on the sub

years the extreme northern coast and islands of
this continent at the head of remarkably well con-
stituted expedition out for scientific nvestiga

to obtaining great amount of useful information
respecting the geography, photography, ethnology,

known country. he added to the map five

World Owes Debt to French Women

The French woman is brought up to neglect
none of the arts that attract men. Even in NUM-
ton plants the woman worker knows where the
mirror hangs. often has her powder puff at hand,
and gives unconsciousy the deft touch to the hair.
If it has sometimes seemed to us that the French
wife overlooks too easily the unconsclousness of
husband it is because we have failed to understand
that French women are expected to keep them
selves attractive to the mate after marriage a
we'll as before that he will not want to wander to
other fields.
If it be asked what is sufficient all
through life for the double duty of being good
wife and good mother, I name you France, and
add that French women in this regard the
vel of their and the strongest bulwarks of
gamy.
And all talk about the lower birth rate in
France is beside the mark. The child is held so
precious in the French mind that he usually remains
dream child until the right conditions are in sight
for his upbringiDg. If allowance be made for that
fringe of the uuproductve found in every land it is
doubtful whether the birth rate among the high
minded and responsible is lower there than ov-
er here.
The French woman cannot be summed up in
phrase Contrary to the general opinion, she is sim

Worlds Most Curious City.

The most curious of cities consists of wooden
huts on wheels, to the number of about hundred
and thirty. which, when the season arrives,
rolled onto the ice of saginaw Bay, Lake Huron. The
population of this city without name is about five
hundred Each hut is fitted with cooking utensils,
hammocks and stove, and is occupied by three
men, whose business the ice is to follow percu-
liar method of fishing.
In the center of each hut hole. about yard
SQUARE is dug to the water. One of the fishermen
then takes live fish of the herring tribe and after
fastening it to piece of pack thread drops into
the water The fish dashes away swift as an ar
row until it is pulled up by the thread, when it re-
turns towards the hole followed by host of pike
and other fish DESTROYS to feast the dainty morsel
Beside the hole stand the fishermen. harpoon in
hand waiting the arrival of the pursuers, who are
received with thrusts of the four five pronged in
strument which rarely fails to bring up some with
ing victims.
Some huts can show two hundred or more OF
fine fish at the end of days work. The most wierd
appearance of this city is at night. when the fisher
men prosecute the work by the light of torches.

The accepted design was the work of F. G.

one change. and that from suggestion made
by President Wilson. AS the china for the
Presidents house he thought it more appropriate
that the dishes should bear the Presidents seal than
the coat of arms Of the United States.

L am not sure that absolute. perfect justice
comes to everybody in this world; but do not know
that the way get justice is be too anxious
about it. As love goes to those who do not lie in

who believes in himself. but if you would aught un-

Three things to desre-the blessing of God. ap-
