KOYUKUK FLOODED
 AT BREAKUP TIME

The highest water ever re- corded in the Koyukuk val ley inundated a large section iof country below Hog river during the breakup Ia s [ spring, according to Fuel Agent J. w. Wilson, of the White Pass company, who arrived in Nenana today aboard the steamer Panama. MT. Wilson is making the rounds of the Interior camps in connection with his official duties and is just back from his first visit to the Koyu- kuk.
 He saw ice marks on the trees more than 30 feet above the present level of the river and was informed by an Indian that the coun- try just below the mouth of the Hog river resembled a vast lake. The Indian travel led across country in a canoe, winding his way through the standing timber which was all but submerged.
 The company had a con- siderable quantity of cord wood piled along the bank when the night water came, but very little of it was really lost, although most of it was disturbed by the ice, entire piles having bee.l pushed far back into the woods, where it was left by the receding flood.
 The high water was caused by an icejam.

Acid Test of Warrior.

Among the Mundurucus, tribe Of
the upper Amazon, no youth is con-
sidered to have attained the dignity
of manhood until he has endured the
"ordeal of the gloves" In that coun-
try there is a kind of ant, as big as a
wasp and quite as venomous; likewise
another species, known as the fire
ant" whose bite feels like a red-hOt
needle piercing the flesh, says the
Pittsburgh Dispatch. Two bamboo
tubes are closed at one end and into
each of them a number of these poi
sonous ants are put. Then the tubes,
called gloves" by courtesy, are tied
upon the arms of the young man
whose fortitude is to be tested, and,
wearing them, he goes about the vii
lage dancing and singing. II he shows
the slightest sign of distress he is pro
nounced a failure and becomes an OBJ
ject of derision to the girls; but, If
he endures the agony without wincing,
his promotion to the rank of warrior
is accomplished.

MARKED PROGRESS OF RACE
Much Significance in What Might Be
Called the Division Of Chinese
Shoe Periods.

Chinese shoes may generally be
divided into two periods-the bound
feet period and the natural-feet period
according to an article by Miss Yen
Wei Using. During the former period
the women were secluded and their
chief business was embroidery, even
their shoes being deliberately embroid-
cred. Each shoe consisted Of two
pieces, at the border of which a mar
row strip of silk was sewed so as to
make smooth edge. The two pieces
were sewed together at the pointed
end with several fine cross stitches. A
wooden block about one-thiyd inch
thick served as the heel of the shoe,
the wooden block being wrapped in
several layers Of cloth.
Later the small shoes with the tiny
soles became fashionable. This kind
Of shoe also consisted Of two pieces
with a silk cord at the juncture, to
prevent the seam from being seen
When the Manchus became the ruling
class of China, women were released
from seclusion in the more progressive
homes and their chief interest was M
longer embroidery. They had no time
TO pay much attention TO their shoes
and they stopped binding their fee
and entered into the natural-feet pc
riod with the Manchus.

nRuslnessp and Social Life.

Each business person has self that
assumes direction and control during
Office hours and should have quite a
distinct and separate self for after.
business hours. The moment the lid
of the Office desk is down he ought
TO change automatically into his $50
cial" self and let his business self have
a complete rest until the lid Of his
desk is raised the next morning. In
that way the self that must be SO
keenly alert, that must concentrate 50
surely during the day, can sleep for
eighteen hours out of every twenty
four.
The person who has mastered the
secret of thus alternating his mental
currents can stand enormous strain
carry heavy burdens and overcome un'
told resistance without being in the
slightest danger Of nervous break
down."

LAND OF LONG coURTSHIPS
In Country Districts OF Holland the
Young Couple Think Nothing OF
Waiting Three Years.

There is a story told in Holland that
one evening in the catechumen's class
an amorous youth was called upon
TO answer the first question in the
Heidelberg catechism: What is thine
only comfort In life and deathf To
which the young man replied: ITO
marry Geertie de Koning and to have
q farm of my own" A curious feature
in the evolution of a Dutch courtship
is that it begins at church. Eyes
meet eyes there. A visit is then paid
by the young man to the home Of the
esteemed beauty. Papa" is ap-
preached as to whether the visitor may
Speak, privately, to the daughter, and,
II no objection is offered, both par
ents are called In to ascertain The Is
sue of the conference. If both parties
are agreed to open courtship, it begins
that night in coffee-drinking and So
cial enjoyment and then the court
ship lasts for at least three years, dur
ing which period of time the Dutch
maiden will attend to the dairy work
Of the farm, baking, mending, and
cooking. The young man will have
amassed enough guilders to invest in
farm, and then the clergyman is
called in, and the neighbors revel for
many days, celebrating the event in
true, generous, hospitable fashion
Needless to say, this order of nuptial-
tying does not apply to cities.

Blown From Railroad Bridge.

Last Friday morning Arthur F.
Evert of this city left as usual for
his work in the express office at
North McGregor and never reached
his destination. A stiff gale was
blowing and he was seen by the engi-
neer at the pontoon bridge on this
side of the island when he passed,
but was not seen by the Waterman at
the west pontoon.
When he did not show up for work
at North McGregor inquiry was made
from the Office as why he had not
come to work. This was the first in
timation relatives and friends had
that he might have blown from the
bridge.
The high stage of the river and
strong gale from the west made i'm

but on Saturday posters were issued
offering a reward of 10000 for re-
covery of the body, but up to this

Graphite.

The purest graphite found in the
United States is at Ticonderoga, N. Y.
1t yields 800 per cent pure carbon.
Some few years ago rich graphite
mine was discovered in Texas. Years
before a ranchman had bought the
land for $12 per acre, constantly re-
GREETING that he bought such a rocky
place, never dreaming that those
rocks contained fortune until New
York man offered him $4,000 for
20 acres of it. He closed the deal
quicker than the New Yorker could
wink. He still has 1,l25 acres Of the
same kind of rock-plus his cattle,
and the same old hole in the Colo
RADIO river from which he extracts
catfish.
Graphite is also mined in Bavaria,
Bohemia, Norway, New Zealand and
Mexico.
