a furnace,

There is a novel form Of strike in
progress in a portion of Victoria,
Australia. Angered by the high prices
charged for children's shoes and
boots, parents have been sending
their boys and girls barefooted to
school. This anti-profiteerlng meas,
ure has been enthusiastically ap-
plauded by the children, who enjoy
the novelty, and in many cases, where
parents have not joined in, boots have
been discarded before the home is
out of sight. An amusing feature
has been the action of a local boOtsell-
er in sending his own children bare
footed. AS there is no school rule
which prescribes footwear, and as the
days are long and warm, the strike
is running its merry course.

Mark Twain's Imagination.

Mark Twain had such vivid imag-
ipation, such a brain for embroidery,
that it was a difficult task for him to
tell straight story just as it hap
pened-he could make up one that
was so much better. We all know that
Albert Bi"elow Paine, working on
Mark TWaiE's Life" found it neces-
S6ry to discard much Of the autobio-
graphic material Mark Twain had writ
ten. Investigation, talks with men
still living who knew the facts, simply
proved that the tales were not so.
And Mark Twain was no liar. He had
d glorious, almost superhuman, imag-
1nation. AS he approached threescore
and ten he said, as quoted in the
life, 'When I was younger l could
remember anything, whether it hap
pened or not; but I am getting old,
and soon / shall remember only the
facts. W. Ellsworth, IA

his chance came.
The family was at the dinner table

KNOW NOTHING OF DYSPEPSIA
EskIroe Apparently Able to Digest
Anything In the Form Of Food,
Without Cooking II.

There is at least one native race Of
America that is little troubled with
dyspepsia. The Eskimo seems to defy
all laws in this relation and to thrive.
He eats until he Is satisfied, and 1t
takes much to satisfy him, if, indeed,
he ever is satisfied. He eats as long
as there is shred of the feast before
him. His capacity is limited only by
the supply.
The Eskimo, it further appears, can
make no mistake in the manner of
cooking bis food Tor the very nipple
reason That ha does not cook it. Nor,
so far rs the biubbcr or fat Of Dhe Arc
tic Is concerned. Is he worried about
his manner of eating it. Indeed, he
may be said not to eat it at all. He
cuts 1t into long strips an inch wide
and an inch thick and then lowers the
strip down his throat as one might
lower rope into q well. Notwith-
standing all this, the Eskimo does not
suffer from indigestion. He can make
good meal off the flesh and skin of
the walru", provision so hard and grit
ty that In cutting up the animal the
knife must be continually sharpened.
The teeth of a little Eskimo child
will, it is said by those who know,
meet in a bit of walrus skin as the
teeth of one Of our own children would
meet in the flesh of an apple, although
the hide of the walrus IS from half an
inch to an inch in thickness and bears
resemblance to the hide |
Of an elephant. The child of the Arc |
tic will bite it and digest 1t and never
know what dyspepsia means.
