History in a Nutshell.

Some time after the school system
was adopted by the navy Filipino
was directed to write an essay on
George Washington. This, however,
was the first contribution. and was as
follows:
George Washington was sore be-
cause American persons was not free.
He sale for England on my ship and
sat to king: I express declaryations
of Independence for American per-
sons King. he say 'Nothin' doin' and
Mr.. Washington tell Admiral Dewie
to shoot big guns at him. Bimeby
King, he say he will not run over
American persons again. Let George
do It, he say. and today american
persons she is free."-Great Lakes

INDIAN WoRLD's OLDEST MANI
"Wrinkled Meat" Claims to Have
Been on Earth fs4 Years, and
Is Said to Look II.

Ka-he-nah gwey wence (wrinkled
mea), better known to tourists of the
Northwest as plain John Smith, Is al
legged to have recently celebrated his
one hundred and thlrty-fourth birth
day, and any one who observes the
depth and number of wrinkles In his
face will have no reason to doubt that
his given age Is correct, although
many will suspect him OF withholding
a number Of birthdays from the total.
During recent vacation trip In the
region OF Cass Lake, Mimi, Earl e.
Evans, writer In Leslle's, twice WIS.,
tied "Wrinkled Meat" at his home, on
the outskirts of the aforementioned
village, and, on both occasions. found
"Old John" In the best of spirits and
willing to talk, so long as there was
any one to listen.
John began the routine story Of his
one hundred thirty-fou years. choos-
ing as the first subject his nine
sQuaws, who, John maintains, are re-
sponslble for his many wrinkles and
long nose. "Me have nine squaws,"
said John. "All pretty face, but
crazy. Pretty quick me get tired Of
squaw: throw 'em In the woods. No
good"
me big Injun." continued John.
"Fight two wars. many battles. Kill
hve Sioux and scalp EN-" At this
part Of his story John points proudly
to his feathered headgear, hanging on
the wall near his floor bed and upon
which are arrayed the Ave feathers
representing the five unfortunate
SiouI Indians. Long Prairie and Pine
City were the two principal battles In
which John engaged.
Chicago is his great nightmare. and
he Is not a trife backward about ex-
pressing his opinion. "Crazy town."
says John. "Many man. many squaw,
too many kids; all crazy. Money.
money. money, too much money. Me
spend $40 one day." and then he
sighs.

Give BURIAL DOLE.
Odd Custom Which Has Long
Prevailed in Wales.
Attendants at Funeral Toss silver
Coins on Table for Benefit Of
Family Of Deceased.

One Of the oldest customs, dating
back to the time Of the early Chris
tlans, Of giving doles or offerings at
funerals, still survives In North Wales,
according to Welshman writing In
the London Daily Mail.
On the day of the interment the
family assemble In the best kitchen"
and seat themselves around large
table on which has been placed a
sp"ness white linen cloth. The min
lister occupies the place Of honor, and
neyt to him are the relatives, In order
Of kinship with the deceased.
Outside are gathered the friends
and neighbors. II is remarkable
sight to see so many men who have
given up half days work (and pay)
to be present.
At a given signal froio the minister
the waiting mourners file In, and as
they pass around the table each one
drops silver coin on the white clots
as a token OF sympathy.
An awed silence fills the room,
broken only by the subdued sobbing
Of the bercaved, the clink Of coin.
or the muffled shuffling Of feet. 1t Is
solemn, significant ceremony, re-
calling the time when death was re-
garded as monster to be feared. In
fact, originally the Offering was made
ito procure rest for the soul of the
deceased, that he might find his Judge
propitious."
Welsh hymn singing Is heard at its
best at funeral. There the emo
tional temperament Of the Celt finds
full scope for expression, and the
s0lennlty Of the occasion helps TO
tune the m0urnful Tyre to Its sweetest
strains.
chatter replaces the strained silence.
Discussion Of crops, work, the latest
scandal. and other funerals Is now
general.
The Welsh peasant regards a fu-
neral as holiday. Whether he knew
the deceased or not, II some one dies
In his village he will attend the burial.
One old man showed me with pride
list Of about thousand funerals at
which he had been present
Strange to say. II the funeral is a
private" one-that Is without the Of
fering-very few people attend 1t.
II Is helpful custom, especially In
remote villages where work is hard
and money scarce. and the little sum
given by sympathetic nelghbors often
pays for the mourning expenses.
At one time the dole consisted Of
little rolls Of bread, and later Of
pence and halfpence, which were
given to the poorest inhabitant In the
village Today In North Wales silver
Is always given, and the offering is
kept by the family.
In the town and seaside resorts the
custom Is dying out, nut In the villages
on the hillsides II still fourishes.

Mechanism Of Glaciers.

In tunneling through glaciers during
the Alpine operations of the war, op-
portunity was offered for observa-
tions of inner structure and move
ments. In shallow cuttings, character
istlcs only to be expected at much
greater depths were found. The al
terna,Ion OF lighter and denser layers
cannot here be caused by pressure
but must be primary, sedimentary
formation. Interior crevasses often
ended In a plane of qualification, thus
pointing to the Importance Of such
planes In the glacier mechanism.
