SUICIDE BRIDGE TRAGIC SPOT
 DNPARIS

PARIS, Dec. 19. "Au secours, help, help au secoursi One hears the cry often on dark evening while crossing the old Pont des Arts It is the famous Suicide bridge" which spans the Seine, built by Napol- con when he wished to wander from the Louvre palace to the Institute on the other side.
 No traffic is allowed on this bridge, only foot passengers, and this is per haps one of the reasons why so many unhappy persons choose it for jump ing-off place. It is quiet and dark, with little to distract the thoughts. Then, too, it is perhaps the most charming spot along the whole length of the river, facing the lovely "Ile de la Cite" with the spires of Notre Dame and La Saint Chappelle dart ing into the air. And if one must die it is just as we'll to choose a beautiful spot It is little fairyland in the Springtime, when the fine green leaves begin to come out and droop down to the waters edge. At night when the lights pop out, the shadows form long red and green ribbons in the Seine.
 According to statistics, more wo- men than men give up their lives to the muddy river, and they are mostly young ones-girls deserted in love, jealous or forlorn ones. Very often they touch the water and then de- eide that life is good, after all, and

then comes the cry-"Au Secours, au secours" which rings across the wat CT on quiet evening. Tie life savers hurry out-they are scattered at different spots along the banks and often they arrive in time. Often CT they find nothing but a hat. And the old women rest their market-bas- kets and pause for a moment on the bridge "Ah, ben, mon Dieu! if the poor creature did 1t for a man she was mighty foolish-men are not worth it these days"
 "Mais, oui, but perhaps she is bet ter off, mon Dieu la vie est dure!" And they pick up their market bas- kets and toddle on.

AIaska Fur.ssaI Service


 The importance of the work of the fur-seal service Is growing from year to year with the increase in the size of the seal and fox herds and the larger number of skins taken. AS result of experiments improved methods of handling the fur-seal skins are being gradually put into effect on the islands
 "Sealskins secured ill 1921 num- bered 23,681, practically all of which were from animals three to four years old. The number taken in 1922 through the regular killing sea son that ended on August 5, was 30,261, of which 29,153 were from three-year-olds. The census of the seal herd as of August 10, 1921, in- dicated 581,443 animals of all ages, of which 176,655 were breeding fe- males and the same number were newborn young.
 Under the contract with Fouke Fur Company, for the dressing, dye ing, and sale of the fur-seal and fox skins from the Pribilof Islands, two public auction sales were held at St. Louis in the fiscal year 1922. A total of 22,976 dressed, dyed and machined fur-seal skins were dis posed of, and gross proceeds of the sales were s722,O6O, net proceeds being $313,492.33. after deduction of all expenses, including payments to Great Britain and Japan under the sealing convention of July 7 1911.
 There is also considerable re turn from the herds of blue foxes which are maintained on the Pribilof Islands. Special attention has been given to the development and care of these herds which, it is believed, will steadily become more valuable from year to year since a depend able supply of food is available from the commercial killing of seals. The fox pelts taken during the winter 192O-21, numbering 1,125 blues and IA whites, were sold at public auc- ticn in St. Louis in September, 1921, for $1O9,398. During the winter of 1921-22 foxing operations yielded a total of TIP blue and 21 white pelts, which will be sold in due course. A suitable reserve of breeding animals was also made for the maintenance of the herds.
 "The work on the Pribilof Islands is carried on by the bureaus staff of about IS white employees and the all over 300 persons. In return for the general service performed, the natives are furnished food, fuel, clothing and miscellaneous supplies, and provided with living quarters, medical attention and school facili- ties. Cash payments are also made for certain work in connection with the taking of seal and fox skins. An nual supplies for the Pribilof Islands were transported chiefly by the radio tender Saturn of the Navy Depart ment, but smaller shipments were made by commercial vessels at vari- ous times during the year. Vessels of the Coast Guard also rendered many courtesies in the transportation of passengers and small lots of sup plies"

School House at Cantigny.

A modern prototype Of Ameri-

crown the hill at Cantigny,
France, where American soldiers
first entered the Western front
as a fighting unit.
The National Geographic soci-
ETY. will erect at the tiny village
Of Cantigny school house as a
memorial to the American sol
diers who fought there and as Il
= further emblem of Amerca his
toric friendship for France.
!. At Cantigny the First Ameri-
rIan division went over the top
and began to share in Foch s
sturdy resistance which held the
Germans back, then defeated
them and won the war. 1t will
be recalled that the German gen
eral staff had ordered that the
heart be taken out of the Ameri-
cans at any cost when they first
showed up as a unit along the
fighting front. Therefore, when
orders came for the Americans to
iron out the salient at Cantigny
what might have been skirmish
turned into terrific struggle,
during which the Germans raj
lied thousands of men and threw
$4,000 shells into the town. Even
after the Americans took the
town they had to hold it against
six counter attacks by the exas-
perated Germans.

800 different words, and most Of u

philologist, who was perhaps the
greatest authority Of his age on this

Danish Folk Songs Simple In Style.

Danish Folk Songs Simple In Style.
The people of Denmark are not as
musical as those of the other northern
countries. Danish music Of impor-
tance dates almost entirely from the
Nineteenth century. In earlier times
Denmark depended on italian and
German musicians for most Of her
music. Old Danish folk-music is
closely related to the Swedish, as
these two countries are similar in
language and customs. Celtic tunes
are also like those Of the Danes, due,
no doubt, to the Danish invasion Of
northern Britain. Both in Ireland and
Denmark the reel is a popular dance.
The Danish folk-songs are simple in
style and usually Of gay character.
They tell of the sea. the chase and
sometimes Of love. The usual melan-
choly Of Scandinavian tunes is not 80
noticeable here.

In the ancient world Sneezlng was

that in the first ages of the world
sneezing was always presage OF
death until the coming Of Jacob. That
astute patriarch; anxious lest he HIM
self should perish from such an In
signifcant cause, besought the Al

beneticent attributes, and since then
1t has been lucky to sneeze between
