CHOOSE THEIR OWN LEADERS
Eskimo Tribe Has Made Conspicuous
Success In an Effort at Self
Government.

From Point Hope, 300 miles north of
the Arctic circle, comes a remarkable
story of self-governing Eskimo COM
munity which has been successfully
carried on there for the last six years.
Under the tutelage of missionaries
equal suffrage has been established
among the Tigaras, who annually in
town meeting elect from among them
selves the Omalik, or council Of lead
ing men, who in turn enact the local
laws and see to their enforcement
among the thousand natives who in
habit the region.
Originally the omalik was composed
Of seven men, 1t Is recounted. But it
was found later that five was a better
number. From the beginning of the
experiment the right Of suffrage was
gfvn to men and women alike, in the
selection Of the council. Christmas
was fixed as the day Of the election
because on that day all of the tribes
men come into the settlement for
feasting and merry-making. The names
are written on blackboard, and the
five securing the greatest number of
votes are declared elected, while that
one of the five who receives the great
est number of votes becomes the chief
councilman.

SEEDS CARRIED FOR MILES
Means Of Assuring Propagation
Of Their Species.

It Is well known that the same crop,
cannot grow and flourish year after
year upon the same ground. The
wild plant knows this and takes care
that it's seed shall fall upon fresh
ground. Some, like the thistle and
the dandeliOn, have developed seeds
provided with balloons Of down, by
means of which they are carried for
miles. The sycamore and the lime
grow little parachutes, which send
their seeds twisting through the air
for long distances. The burrs make
use of animals to do the work for
them. They grow rows Of tiny hooks
designed to catch In the coats Of anil
mails which carry them away and then
rub them off against bushes. The
poppy has perfected an efficient form
Of sprinkler. When the dry heads are
shaken by the wind, seeds are shst
out in all directions. The tropical
sandbox tree was the first inventor
of explosives. It's seedpods are filed
with gas, which expands until such q
pressure is reached that the sheath
bursts with a noise like a revolver
shot, and the seeds are distributed
over a considerable area.

Spiders and Music.

1t has been asserted that spiders
possess sensitiveness to musical
sounds. Some species seem to respond
to the note Of the piano, the harp,
the flute, and so On, in a manner sug-
gestive of their ability to recognize
these sounds or the harmonic vibra-
tons on which they are based. But
a member of the College Of France,
who is said to have made a special
study of the instincts and the sup
posed "psychism' Of spiders, thinks
that the apparent sensitiveness Of
these creatures to music has been mis-
understood. 1t is his opinion that
when musical instruments are played
near their nests the spiders simply
feel the vibrations through their webs,
or otherwise, without recognizing the
musical notes as sounds. The effect
upon them is similar to-that OF the
buzzing of an entrapped fly. He does
not ascribe much Intelligence" to
spiders.-Washingto Star.

OWNERSHIP OF LAND AND AIR
Point Made by Henry George May Yst
BE Made the Center OF Legal
Controversy.

In the course Of a lecture In the
hall at Aston-under-Lyne, England, the
late Henry George put his audience in
roars OF laughter when he remarked !:
1.-The man who owns the land owns
the air as well. There has been only
one attempt that 1 have ever heard Of
to make air separate property. Near
Strasburg, In Germany, about the
Twelfth or Thirteenth century, there
was convent of monks who put up
q windmill. One of the lords In the
ighborhoOd-they would be called
robbers now-finding he could not get
any tribute from them, set up claim
to the ownership Of the air, and when
they put up their windmill, said: All
the wind in these parts belongs to me-
The monks sent in hot haste to the
bishop, and told him Of this claim. The
bishop got up on his hind legs and
cursed In ecclesiastical language. He
said the baron was q son of Belial |;
that he did not own the wind in that
province; that all the wind that blew
over 1t belonged to Mother Church
and that If the baron did not take
back his demand for rent he would
launch with bell, book, and candle the
curse of Rome. Mr. Baron backed
down. But If he had owned the land
he would not have needed to set up
claim to the wind. Men cannot
breathe the air unless they have land
to stand on"

Stocking RarIor Aquarium.

The best water for an aquarium Ia
from q river, stream or pond. Rain
water which has been exposed for some
time to the air is also excellent, but
the exposure must be Of some length
to render 1t safe. If water Is taken
from a hydrant, 1t should first flow with
full force into bucket, so that 1t may
be thoroughly aerated. Under no cir
substances ought pump-water to be
used, as 1t Is what Is commonly called
dead" that Is without aeration.
II the aquarium Is to contain gold
fish, or other species that will live I'm
still water, 1t Is unnecessary to change
the water frequently, especially II the
tank be wei provided with suitable
aquatic plants. Simply replace that
which has been lost through eyapora-
ton from time to time. II care be ex-
ercised and the aquarium kept clean.
a complete change Of water Is only
necessary about once In six months.
It would be well to introduce at drst .
few snails and tadpoles, and then, ar
ter two or three days the flsh.

BOTH SIDES OF A QUESTION
Possessions Bound to Bring Responsi-
bility, but There Is Also AIDE
quate Reeompense.

Everything that you can think Of In
the way Of desired possessions brings
with it an accompanying load Of trou-
BILE, care and responsibility.
And this is something Of 4 consola-
ton for those who must stand outside
the barred gates and look yearningly
in.
After all, they can think, it's lot Of
trouble to take care Of so much; per-
hapS it's just as we'll to be without it
That's where the trouble part helps
theh.
But ON the other hand, it's worth
some care to have the real antiques
that other people are striving to find
It's worth some responsibility to have
such beautiful old silver.
The house in perfect order, the vel
vety lawn and the garden that make
visitors gasp with pleasure are pretty
good payment for all your thought and
work and planning and caring for
them
That beautifully shaped head and
graceful couture are surely satisfying
enough to make up for the pain and
the lost time.
If people who have things didn't
have some trouble with them, then
there would be the greatest amount Of
discomfort among people who haven't.
Mere possessing gets to be like
habit one fOrgets all about what 1t IS
that she possesses, whether it is valu-
able or not, and whether or not one
should be grateful about it.
But when little trouble and diff
Guilty come along with it, one realizes
that it has cost something and is worth
something.-Kansas City Star.

For Heavy Yields.

Selecting, curing and testing seed
corn will do more toward producing
a better and bigger crop than any
thing else. BY careful selection the
farmer improves his corn and is able
to produce larger, heavier and better
ears. BY properly curing seed corn
he insures himself against seed of
low vitality; and by termination
test he avoids sterile ears and plants
only seed that will give the most
profitable returns.-R. A. Moore,
Wisconsin College of Agriculture.
