AGRICULTURAL LANDS
IN THE MATAM SKA
(Continued from Page 1.)
over ground is left in better con
dition than that which is cleared by
pll'.l.ng the stumps and tearing or
etripping the moss from the ground.
Vegetation springs up and grows
rapidly after the burns.
Dairy and poultry farming, along
with extensive truck fanning, will
find an excellent field along this
valley Small grains of the earlier
varieties mature and give good
vields. Pnu.ll fruits do well under
abundance throughout the -region.
Tho streams and lake3 afford the
best of fishing, and the best large
game country belonging-to the Un
ited States lies within a radius of
two hundred miles.
Climatic conditions are more fa
vorable for the farmer than is to
bo found anywhere within tho great
mlddl" states bordering the Missis
sippi and the Misouri rivers. There
aro i o extreme high or low tem
peratures, no sudden changes, suf
ficient precipitation for profitable
cr- p work, and soil that is easily
cultivated, after the first clearing ol
tho land.
The government railroad will
be completed within two years
through the more valuable agricul
tural districts. The mining indus
try- of a vast country back of Cook
inlet is in fair way to be developed
as transportation facilities develop,
and the construction of wagon roadf
«s feeders to the railroad, will place
the farmers of this country in
position to supply the demand foT
farm products, which are now being
shipped from the states.
Th2 openhi» up of the farming
lands carries a great deal of hard
labor for the pioneer, and -re
ituires a good stock of common
sense md resourcefulness, and the
man cominy to a new country must
expee". to do his share.
SORCERERS IN PAPUA.
Easy to Start !n the Business There
and Terrify the Natives.
It Is no very liard matter to set up
as a sorcerer in Fapun. One says, "I
am a sorcerer," and the thing is ac
complished. One may be a greater
sorcerer or a lesser sorcerer, to be
sure, but one Is a sorcerer of some de
gree of evil merit at least from the
hour that one says, "1 am a sorcerer.'"
Thereafter the mtasure of success a
practitioner may win depends upon bis
skill In advertising and the Ingenuity
of his magical methods. What is new
and mysterious Is everywhere mightily
Impressive, and in I'apua, as else
where, what a man noisily reiterates
about himself comes eventually to be
accepted as at least an approach to
the truth concerning him.
A certain Tai-hnl, for example, hav
ing settled in a village of the Glra
river, said, "I am a sorcerer," and ho
was forthwith a sorcerer. lie said, "I
have an invisible snake with which to
work my will," and his fame began.
They said, "Where is the snake?"
And he replied: "Ilave I not said that
the snake is invisible? How can I
show you an invisible snake?" And
his fame grew. And he added, "Be
ware of me, if you please, for I am
very easily offended, und my invisible
snakes obey me."
rinding now that he was inspiring
terror indeed, Tal-imi created an es
tablishment to forward his conse
quence. Three menials were taken in
to wait upon his wants at home, and
two qualified assistants were engaged
to attend his dignity abroad. To the
qualified assistants, in enhancement
of his own importance, Tal-imi gave
invisible snakes. "They too are sor
cerers," said ho. "and have invisible
snakes," and added, with the lnrge,
easy air of every great professional:
"But the invisible snakes of my as
sistants, of course, are small and rather
stupid snakes. My snake is the snake
to beware of."
Ingenious Tai-iml might have lived
long in plenty had he not grown so
intolerably extortionate In the matter
of pigs that the administration got
wind of his ways and confounded his
success.
It was shown upon trial that Tai
iml had founded his enormously lucra
tive practice upon nothing better than
a bald assertion.
"I am a sorcerer." said he. "with an
Invisible snake."—Norman Duncan in
Harper's Magazine.
Small Caliber Martinets.
All public institutions, I here assert,
should have as their employees only
people who are courteous, pleasant
and kind. One of the greatest hard
ships of poverty Is to be obliged to
face the autocratic martinets who
seem to guard the doorways of a'l
such' organizations. There is some
thing detestable and offensive in the
frozen. Impatient and often Insulting
marinelTWthS" Wotrieta ami men wHo
occupy little positions of authority iiko

girls — unil 1 suppose men — must al
ways go.—From "Me, a Book of Itc
tuembrances," In Century Magazine.
Rainbow Trout.
The rainbow trout is bluish above,
silvery or golden below, more or less
spotted with black on the body and
tins and with an orange or red lateral
band. It Is doubtless for this varicolor
ing that it receives its name. It is
more hardy than the English trout and
accommodates itself to almost stag
nant waters and has thus proved a suc
cess in many ponds which were regard
ed as fit for coarse flsh only. In many
places, however, it has caused disap
pointment by going down to the sea
and never returning. — Philadelphia
Press.
Meaning of Cemetery.
It is not correct to say that "ccme
tery" means the "city of the dead."
The word is from the Greek "koime
terion," meaning sleeping place, not
the place of the dead. There is noth
ing in the etymology of the word to
warrant us in thinking that it was
originally intended to convey the idea
that the departed were really dead any
more than there is in the old Hebrew
term for cemetery, "bethnim," the
house of the living.—Exchange.
A Chariot of 1711.
Something over a couple of centuries
ago the principle of the taxicab was
known. An advertisement in the Lon
don Dally Courant of Jan. 13, 1711,
announces that at the sign of the
Seven Stars, under the piazza of Cov
ent Garden, a chariot was on view
that would travel without horses and
measure the miles as it goes. It was
capable of turning and reversing and
could go uphill as easily as on level
ground.
Flags at Half Mast.
In speaking of flags the term "half
mast" is sometimes heard, and at oth
er times the term "half staff" is used,
yet the explanation is simple. It is
that a flag is properly said to be at
half staff ashore and at half mast on
shipboard, and rightly the terms are
never interchangeable.—New York Sun.
No Sympathy.
He—Do you like your new doctor?
She—No, I detest him. Why, the horrid
thing had the effrontery to say there
would be nothing the matter with mo
if I just stopped moping over imagi
I nary ailments.—Richmond Times-Dis
] patch.
Not Catching.
"Was your husband's a protracted
illness, Mrs. Nurich?"
"Well, he suffered a lot, but I don't
know as It was catehin'."—Buffalo Ex
press.
Opportunities approach only those
who uso them.—Emerson.
Dublin'! Rod Haired Club.
The Red Ilatred club of Dublin,
which flourished years ago, was a soci
ety which barred out all whose hirsute
I covering was not of the most pro
j nounced auburn. In order that no one
could gain admission by false pretenses
i it was required at the initiation of each
I member that the applicant wash his
I hair and whiskers In hot soda and wa
ter. This effectually took out any
| "dye" that had been used.
Mutual Help.
I "Say, old man," quoth the farmer.
"I wish you'd train my son to be a
lawyer In your ollice. There's nothing
In farming."
"I'll do it," assented the lawyer,
"provided you'll take my son on your
farm. There's nothing in the law."—
