In the far northern latitudes Of this con-
tinent there are plenty of wild reindeer,
which are called caribou" But they are
different species, and not susceptible to
domestication. OF the domesticated
species there are several varieties, the one
found in Lapland being much smaller than
the Siberian, which, by reason of its
greater size, can be used for riding
The reindeer fetched from Norway for
introduction in the Michigan peninsula
are of Siberian stock. Where the produc-
tion of meat is in question the large an
imal is obviously more desirable.
There are now in the United States (aC.
cording to the Department of Agriculture's
report for January of this year, 65,352, 900
cattle and 36,04S,000 sheep. Apparently
there is no reason why 10000,00 reindeer,
or even a much greater number, should
not be eventually maintained in the north
ernmost belt of our territory clear across
the continent. ... .... .. ,....... =
From that many 100000 could be taken
for slaughter annually-surplus males.
that is to say-without diminishing the
stock. They would afford a contribution
to our food supply that is greatly needed
and which would be tremendous help in
keeping down the. cost OF living for coming
generations OF Americans.

Ruskin's Eloquent Plea.

I do not understand the feeling which would arch our own gates and pave our own thresholds. and leave the church with it's narrow door and foot-worn sill; the feeling which en- circles our own chambers with all man. ner of costliness, and endures the bare wall and mean compass of the temple. I say this, emphatically, that the tenth part of the expense which is sacrificed in domestic discomforts and encum- brances, would, if collectively offered and wisely employed, build a marble church for every town in England ; such a church as 1t should be a joy and a blessing even to pass near in our daily ways and walks, and as 1t would bring the light into the eyes to see from afar, lifting it's fair height above the purple crowd of humble roofs.-Ruskin.

Here's a Mix-Up,

A resident of this city, Toronto paper reports. appealed to the moral- fly department of the local police to release him from having to live with his wife because of domestic unpleas- antness. He told the police the fol- lowing remarkable story: He married his present wife's daughter several years ago. While he was living with his first wife his own father married his wife's mother, making her his moth er-in-law and stepmother. His father died. leaving his wife in the old coun- try. The son brought her to Toronto and married her They were not liv. ing together any length of time bA fore both of them quarreled and could not get along.

Ginseng.

Ginseng is plant of the genus Aralia Panax, also the root of this pant, which is highly valued as . tonic and stimulant by the Chinese, who ascribe to it almost miraculous powers. The Manchurian is most es- teemed, and sells for several taels per Hang, or Chinese ounce The true gin seng is a native of northern China and Korea. A quinquefolia is very close iy allied species of the eastern United States, and it's roots have been largel! exported to China as a substitute for the true ginseng. The only medicinal effect in either case is that of a mild aromatic stimulant. Dwarf ginseng, the Aralia trifolia. Is a low species of :he United States, with globose pun. gent root.

To one not acquainted with Alaska the land of vast distances, the sailing of the Starr yester- day to far westward points, might not be an event of much significance, but when one real izes that passengers embarking on the trip travel further than from New York to Liverpool and half way back, it may interest statisticians. The Starr will not return to Seward for over twenty five days, provided she has good luck, and encounters no ice, storms or maritime hazards. Sailing out into the northern Pa, cifc, the stormiest waters in the world. the ship goes first to Ko- diak, thence up the coast to Un- alaska and passing out into the Bering Sea at Unalaska, she then holds an easterly course to the Bristol Bay country several thousand miles away. The waters are unsurveyed, but few lighthouses spot the coast to warn the mariner of breakers and lee shores, and pinnacle rocks, ice and storm combine to make the trip one of great haz- ard. When one considers it takes a month to go from the middle of the Third division to Bristol Bay and back, and that the third is but one of four divis- ions in Alaska, one can begin to realize the immensity of the ter ritory.

WELL KNOWN AUTHOR STUDIES
 ALEUTIAN FOLK LORE
Steward Gateway

Edison Marshall. well known author and publicist, who has written extensively on Alaska, sailed yesterday on the Starr for Unga, Unalaska, and Aleutian Island points. MT. Marshall's purpose is to gather material for a series of articles dealing with Alaska, from an economic and industrial standpoint. He will deal especially with the natives, their habit, and mode of living. MT. Marshall's former articles have shown him to be endowed with keen powers of observation, and intelligent and careful study. There is no spot in the world so rich in folk lore as the borabaras of the Aleut and the Eskimo. These peoples for generations have depended upon the story tellers of the tribes for their myths and their legends, and some of these entertainers are walking encyclopedias of tribal lore. The Aleuts have their story of the flood, legend of Adam and Eve, and of many biblical stories, including those of Jonah and Sampson.
 They are hard to approach, fearing the white mans ridicule above all things, but after their confidence is won they are verit- able fonts of instruction to those seeking information. The writer or historian who desires to write on Alaska, the primitive and red blooded Alaska of two or three centuries ago, can find an abund- ance of material in the natives to the westward.

Superstitions of Seamen.

If man is ill at sea, his most crit ical time is when land is first sighted. If he survive an hour after the sight ing of land he will recover. On some trawlers whistling is forbidden-it scares away the fish. Other shippers believe that to wash your face in the middle of trip will break a spell of calm weather.

Veteran Reinsman Has Driven
So Many Trotters He Can
not Remember Them All.
BY GuRNEY G. CUE.

Ed Geers. now in his seventy-second
year. will open his annual campaign in
the Grand Circuit at Cleveland to-mor-
row. In half a century with the trotters
he has driven 50 many horses that he
cannot remember all of them. Not so
long ago the writer remarked to the vet
eran reinsman that he had witnessed
the memorable colt race at the Chicago
Driving Park in July, 1882, In which
Geers drove his namesake, Ed Geers, by
Enfield, 2:29. Geers replied that the
writer must be mistaken. as he could not
recall such a trotter as ever having been
in his stable.
The contest referred to was regarded
as the greatest colt race on record for
many years after 1t took place. Geers's
colt, however cut no figure in any Of
the heats and was finally ruled out
Chief interest centered about the black
gelding Jay-Eye-See. afterward the first
horse to trot in 2 2:10. 1t was his first
start IN public. and his millionaire owner,

heavily at the track and in the auction

barroom of the Palmer House. The
four-year-old colt had worked in :23,
with half in / 06, at Mr.. Cases farm
and this, to high wheel sulky over a two
lap track. made him look like what he
really was--a world beater.
But his running bred granddam or
something else caused him to break re-
peatedly at critical moments when 1t
came to the contest and he was beaten
in 80 by an inferior four-year-od
called Waiting at the end of seven ex-
citing heats. the fifth and sixth of which
Jay-Eye-See won in 2'?2a4 and 2;E51s
