MUSSELS TO BE CULTIVATED
Adequate Supply of Raw Material for
the PearI-Button Industry Is
Object Sought.

An important step toward insuring
an adequate supply of raw material
for the pearl-buttOn industry is being
made by the United States bureau Of
fisheries, which, for the first time in
history, is cultivaring fresh-water mus
sells during the entire first year Of their
growth. The activity of mussel cul
turists heretofore has been confined to
getting the young bivalves we'll start
ed in life, during the brief period when
they attach themselves to the gills and
fins of fish. Now, however, as a check
upon the effectiveness of their work,
the fish will be kept in large wooden
troughs until the mussels drop off, af
ter which the latter will be retained
in the wooden tanks for a year, the
better to observe and facilitate their
growth. The mussels will then be
planted in their natural environment
to complete their life cycle.-Popular

SLEEPING In ESKIMO LAND
Going to Bed Is Simple Process and
Sound Slumber Is Had Beneath
Heavy Furs.

Going to bed in Eskimo land
proves to be very simple matter. A
small soapstone lamp which burns
seal oil through a moss wick, is lit.
This lamp is used for warmth as well
as light NanOok builds tiny igloO
against the inside wall of the room
for the baby dogs, where they are
packed away like two little muffs.
Large polar bear and seal skins are
placed on the snowy floor, everybody
disrobes and cuddles down under great
warm furs, and as the dim light of
the oil lamp flickers against the snowy
walls of the igloo, all that you can
see of the Nanook family is row
of heads just showing beneath their
great fur robes.
Outside the wind is bowling and
the snow is drifting into huge hills,
and the dogs, powdered with the blow
ing SHOWS, are curled up sleeping, says

BILE. She received the papers from
Stewart and thanked him. He bowed,
then led the black down the path to-
ward the corrals.
Madeline watched the weary horse
and rider limp down the path. What
had made her thoughtful? Mostly it was
something new or sudden or inexplic-
able that stirred her mind to quick
analysis. In this instance the thing
that had struck Madeline was Stew
arts glance. He had looked at her.
and the old burning, inscrutable fire,
the darkness, had left his eyes. Sud-
denly they had been beautiful. The
look had not been one of surprise or
admiration; nor had it been one of
love. She was familiar, too familiar
with all three. 1t had not been gaze
of passion, for there was nothing
beautiful in that. Madeline pondered.
And presently she realized that Stew
arts eyes had expressed strange joy
Of pride That expression Madeline
had never before encountered in the
look of any man. Probably its strange
ness had made her notice it and ac-
counted for her blushing. The longer
she lived among these outdoor men
the more they surprised her. Particu-
larly, how incomprehensible was this
cowboy Stewart! Why should he have
pride or joy at sight Of her?
The approaching automobile was on
the slope now, some miles down the
long gradual slant. Its velocity was
astounding. Long, gray wells. like pen
nants. streamed in the wind. A low
rushing sound became perceptible, and
it grew louder, became a roar. The
car shot like an arrow past the alfalfa
field, by the bunk-houses. where the
cowboys waved and cheered The
horses and burros in the corrals began
to snort and tramp and race in fright.
At the base Of the long slope of the
foothill Link cut the speed more than
half. Yet the car roared up, rolling
the dust, flying capes and wells and ul-
sters. and crashed and cracked to a
halt in the yard before the porch.
Madeline deserted a gray, disheyeled
mass of humanity packed inside the
car. Besides the driver there were
seven occupants, and for a moment
they appeared to be coming to life,
moving and exclaiming under the wells
and wraps and dust-shields.
Link Stevens stepped out and, re-
moving helmet and goggles, coolly
looked at his watch.

A Boys Ambition.

David with number of other bows
attended a father and son banouet
To start off the program some one
suggested that each boy be asked TO
give his name and age and what no
most desired to be when he grew nm
1t happened that David's father
owned department store in the
town and was known among other
things for his ability to take a Joke
David, therefore, was instructed wbat
to say when it came his time to tell
what he wished to be when he became
older.
The boys were called on, and the
men were enjoying listening to the
youngsters. When 1t came David's
turn, he told his name and age. who
his father was. and said he guessed
he'd like to be a gambler.

BRITONS TRYING TO BEAT GERMANS IN TRADE DRIVE
On Hearing of Trade Ship Cruise" :" Britishers Sent Out Two
 Vessels for Trip.

London, Jan. 19.--The "Hohenzol- lern," once the palatial pleasure yacht of the former German emperor, is being fitted out as a trade ship by the German government and will be sent on cruise to the British do- minions.
 News that the Germans were at tempting to get share of the do- minion trade, which is the backbone of Britain's commerce, has caused English merchants to fit out two ships for similar voyage.
 The first vessel will be ready to sail by February 1. Soon after an- other ship will start around the world in the opposite direction in an effort to beat the German boat to its goal.
 The beautiful rose-pink furnishings and elegantly appointed cabins of the "Hohenzollern'' have been torn out to make room for stands that will display German goods.
