Cultured SIovakian peonIe

The inn at Turciansky Sv. Martin
in northern central Slovakia is a real
social center. Here the inhabitants
OF this cultural center of Slovakia as
semble for song and gossip. In spite
of the antiquity of their get-up, the
peasants of the region are among the
most cultured people in Europe; their
little town is center of the printing
industry and boasts a most inter
esting museum. The women of Slo-
vaha, although the difficulty In OBJ
tanning linens and colored thread with
which to make their embroideries is
now great, still work with the same
care and reverence for traditional
craftsmanship as formerly. Indeed
the peasant woman Of Detva, Slo-
vakia. both in the work upon which
she is engaged and the beautiful
clothes she wears, would seem to be
living model for her sisters in the
neighboring villages. 1t is in their
gardens that these women work, sur
rounded by their children.

Savage Wilderness Mara,Ider

The fisher Is, taking it all in all,
said to be the most savage, swift
and crafty Of all the marauders of the
wilderness. In nine cases out Of ten
perhaps even SO out Of a hundred
a fight between a porcupine and a
fisher has but one result: The fisher
eats the porcupine. And the porch
pine is some defensive fighter. The
fisher Alps the victim over on his
Fback, annexing as few spines as posi-
BILE in the act. and he has an unpro-
tected throat and belly at the mercy
Of his fangs.
The porcupine's quilts, so deadly to
other animals, have for the fisher COM
parattvely few terrors They do not
poison or infiame his flesh, which
seems to possess the faculty Of soon
casting them forth again through the
skin.

New Zealand has a native species
OF opossum which wears a very beau
tiful fur. 1t is not at all like the
opossum that we know in this country.
Many years ago it was introduced
into Australia, and, finding there none
of the natural enemies that proved up-
on 1t in its own land, it has since in
creased in numbers until it has be-
come a serious pest. 1t is a robber
of fruit trees
However, the value of the animal
for its fur is so great as to outweigh
the damage it does In the fruit-growing
sections, and in view of this fact, the
Australians are encouraging the in
crease Of opossums in forest districts.
Their skins are becoming a consider
able item Of export, and already many
Of them are made up into fashionable
garments for women in the United
States.-Philadelphia Ledger.

The OscI, Early Occupants Of italy.
The Osci, or Oscans, were an Ital-
ian people who appear to have been
the original occupants, at the earliest
known period, of Central Italy from
Campania and the borders of Lattum
to the Adriatic. The Oscans were sub
dued by the Sabines, people from
the Apennines on the north, Of whose
previous history little in known, and
who probably adopted the language
and customs of the conquered, with
what notifications cannot be ascer-
tanned. The Oscar language was
closely allied to the Latin, of which it
was probably parent stock. 1t ap-
pears to have been spoken in the
provinces long after Latin became the
official language, and it was used Of
fcially long after the Roman conquest.

La the Big desert Of Chile there is
considerable amount Of brackish
water, but no water that either hu-
man beings or stock can drink.
Science, however, has come to the aid
Of the rainless section of the coun-

waterworks, consisting Of a series Of
frames containing 10000 square feet
Of glass. The panes Of glass are ar
ranged in the shape of a Y, and un-
der each pane is a shallow pan con-
tanning brackish water. The heat Of
the sun evaporates the water, which
condenses upon the sloping glass and,

the main canal. 1t is said that nearly
a thousand gallons Of fresh water Ia

Birds Undiscovered" Baldwin Apples.

The famous Baldwin apple was dis
covered by Col. Loammi Baldwin,
distinguished resident of Woburn,
Mass, during the latter half of the
Eighteenth century While surveying
land in Wilmington, Mass, Colonel
Baldwin observed a tree on the land
of James Buffers, which appeared to
be much frequented by woodpeckers.
Curiosity led him to examine the tree,
and he found that it bore apples Of
an excellent flavor.
The next spring he took cuttings
from the tree to graft into trees of
his own, and the experiment was so
successful that 1t was not long be-
fore the apple was extensively cul-
tivated In many sections of the state.

Train robbery, a pastime which was

Ut Verde, Nevada, when the Overland

about $4,000. This robbery marked
q new departure in the field Of crime,
for previously only stage coaches and
travellers had fallen prey to holdup
men. When western outlaws are dis

STORY AND PICTURES
OF CANNlBALS' life
RETURNED MISSIONARY GAVE
INTERESTING LECTURE AT
METHODIST CHURCH.

Despite the heavy rain "Wednesday
evening, which made the streets al
most impossible, a good audience en-
loved the stereopticon lecture at the
Methodist church by Mr.. J. A. Stock
well. who came TO Dawson under the
auspices of the Epworth league.
Mr.. Stockweil went out with the
first party as an industrial missionary
and helped found the Congo mission,
but was forced to return after several
wears OF service to the homeland on
account OF failing health.
The views presented OF central Al
RIGA showed different phases OF native
life in a most striking and entertaining
way and threw a new light on the
people and customs OF that dark land.
The beautiful scenery shown was a
revelation as delightful as IT was sur
prising. The marvellous results OF mis-
sionary efforts through the power OF
Christ transforming the lives OF these
benighted people was graphically pre-
scented. A closing feature very strong
in its appeal was the figure OF Christ
flashed on the screen as the choir sang
very softly, Il Gave My Life For
Thee. What Hast Thou Given For
Mel" The lecture was one OF the most
educational and inspiring ever brought
to Dawson, and it was highly pleas
ed audience.
