TOTEM POLES TELL HISTORY
Have Peculiar Significance Among
the UpICoast Indian Tribes Of
British Columbia.

Totem poles Of the up-coast Indian
tribes of British Columbia tell the his
tory Of that race. The poles are Of
ethnologic and folklore significance,
have legendary symbolism, and carry
details of the tribe, clan, family and
individual. Their painted grotesques
Of birds, beasts, fish and men are done
in blue, red and white upon a black
background.
The right to use the totemic crest
always deScends through the woman.
A tribesman uses the tribal crest of
his clan group in addition to- those of
one or more guardian spirits he may
have acquired. If he is easy in max
ing friendships with birds. beasts and
fishes he NAV have a Noah's ark of
them on his pole. The crests are also
carved on canoe prows, painted on
house fronts and woven into baskets
and blankets Of goat hair or cedar
bark.
: A man gets his reputation and
standing in the community, among
the up-coast tribes, not by what he
owns, but by what he gives away. If
he wants to be regarded as "hiyu
tree" or person Of special conse-
quence, he aims to do it by giving
away more blankets than anybody
else on the coast.

Perfect Human Fiuure.

There is much difference Of opinion
on the subject Of perfect human meas
urements, but according to Professor
Sergeant, one Of the best known au.
thorities on the health Of the Ameri-
can woman, the following measure
ments constitute the perfect figure:
Height, 63.o inches; breadth Of neck,
9s inches; girth Of neck, 12.1 inches ;
breadth Of shoulders, IA inches ;
breadth Of waist SO inches; girth OF
waist, 24.6 inches; breadth Of hips,
12.1 inches; girth of. hips, 1874 inches
girth Of calf, 1873 inches; girth of up-
per arm, 10.1 inches; girth of thigh,
21.4 inches, and Of forearm, 90 inches.
Many other authorities insist that a
woman should measure in height 5
feet five inches, or an inch and one
half taller than Professor Sargeant's
perfect woman.

cEDARS MANY CENTURIES OLD
That Much Sure, but 1t Is Impossible
to Tell Age of Lebanon's
Famous Trees.

The age of the famous cedars Of
Lebanon has long been in dispute. Lo-
cal tradition says they were planted
by God at the creation of the world
and that they will endure until the last
day.
That there was a great grove of
cedars on Lebanon in the days of King
Solomon there can be no doubt, as it
was from them that he obtained the
wood for building the temple. Whether
any Of those now standing were there
in Solomon'S time is matter of specu-
latiOn.
At the present day the grove con-
tains $50 trees, Of which only Is are of
large size. 1t is in the center Of grea.
basin in the mountains, 5000 feet
above the sea. A Maronite chapel is
on mound in the shade of the trees,
and here mass is said and on the feast
of the TRANSPORTATION a great festival
takes place.
Several efforts to calculate the age
of the cedars now standing have been
made by counting the rings in the
heart wood of those that have fallen,
These estimates, according to Prof.
A. Henry of the Royal College of Sci
ences for Ireland, in an article in Coun-
try Life, vary from $3.50 years to $500
years, although it may be that they are
Of slower growth than the specimens
tested in Otner countries.
The largest of the cedars Is Is feet
in diameter.

ancient Grape srrv~.

That the making Of grape strip is
not new thing Is shown by the writ
ings Of ancient historians. Galen, the
Greek physician and writer, who lived
in the second century after Christ.
says that a "good many Asiatic wines
were stored in bottles which were
hung in the corner Of fireplaces, where,
by evaporation, they became dry. This
process was called fumarium." The
Greeks had two kinds of wine, "pro-
toplon," or first juice Of the grape be-
fore pressing and "deuterion," or
pressed Juice. The Romans called
them "vinum primarium" and "vinum
secundarium." The Juice before fer
mentation had started was called
"mustum." After this must, or Juice,
had been through a heating process,
1t was known as "fruitum," and when,
after long heating, it was reduced to
one-half or one-third it's original vol.
ume it was called "sapa." This was
equivalent to grape strip and was
used by the Romans on their bread.

Penny as Financial Barometer.

The cent is the barometer of busi-

that during financial depression
