ALAilvANS FOIUi J1TE
Aiiiiians are said to form a dis
tinct type. It Is Jus' as prouounc
' as is that of the Southerner,
1\V«:ttrner or the dowa-ea^t
1'^akee. Environments undoubtedly
have a great deal *o do la forging
tvp«. la an earler stage of em
Iroyo civiiuatioa. Or advanced sa.v
«.g«;y, 'Le Indian tribes of the N.
A^eric&a continent were distinctive
ajcordUg to local climatic and geo
fcr^pM.-ai conditions governing.
'itr Alaskan type carries with it
t!-e Idea of bigness, of self-toafi
d<.ac-, cf wide charity, of qulckencdi
tympanies of dire:* honfety and
o' laayatienr e with petty conven
tion and 'he pla.jii.g of »money
va^oa atove everythitg else. The
Ala 4Uo is a strong individualist,
ilia cp aiona are positive and ex
pr-^ed sometimes without regard
t > t at of the other fellow. Heme
the bi'ter factional fights often
fcuf^L.'lered.
Tte Alaskan Is never of the
cringing scrt. President AV'llsm or |
Rccsevel or Hughes or Mo:gaai
could walk the streets of any of the
tow.i* of Alaska without creating an
more excitement than the arrival of
some sourdough from the tills. In
deed, should either one of those
persons be making a speech and a
miner come to town with news of
a ucv errike the whole crowd would
stampede to the miner, and forgtt 'i9j
existence of the celebrity.
In shor*. In the makeup of the
average Alaskan are many of the^
characteristics of the country —
Jhe pure, free air, not tainted with
the ci'Vg breath, which; sweeps over
wido distances o£ mountains and
plains, the nearnesa to nature
plains, th-e nearness to natiurq
wher§ wonderful sermons are
preached; the close; uesocHuio^ ot
dangers whkh teach confidence and
Bf.U-TeJlauce, and a, wide chori'y'
for the poor dwll wiio gets up
against it.. Everywhere Outaide
the »em Alaskan, is beginning to
convey a meaning thoroughly die
tiuc'ive of a typ«i ot empire build
ers of a large calibre. — Fairbanks

Heading Him Off.
Mr. Slowguit (about to propose: time.
11 p. in.)— 1 uui altoui to say something.
Miss Cblllliigton. that 1 should have
said some time ago. Look Into my eyes
aud tell me if you cannot guess what It
is. Miss Chilllngton (suppressing a
yawn)—You look as sleepy us 1 feel, oo
1 suppose iou must be golug to say
"Good night."—London Stray Stories.
Seals Can Drown.
It is a cur-'ous fnct that the fur seal
was once a land animal. The baby
seals are acti.ally afraid of water. They
would drown If thrown Into it and have
to learn to uwlm by rejieated efforts.
When once they have been taught to
swim, however, they soon forget to
walk.
There are in existence only two Im
portant lierus of fur seals, one of
which has lt« breeding grounds In the
Commander Islands, belonging to Rus
sia. the other In the Prlbllof Islands,
belonging to the United States. Of
these the Uitter Is much the larger.
The TrlMli f islands are government
property. at,<l thus It happens that the
United States government tlnds ltsell
the owner of by far the most valuable
herd of fur seals in the world.—London
Mall.
Roads In Olden Days.
A curious l'lnstratlou of the lack of
any systematic authority over the
roads In England, even as late as the
fifteenth century. Is preserved In the
records of the manor of Aylesbury. A
local miller, named Richard Boose,
needed some ramming clay for the re
pair of bis mill. Accordingly—we learn
from "Old Country Inns"—his servants
dug a great pit In the middle of the
road, ten feet wide and eight feet deep,
and so left it to become filled wfth
water from the winter ralna A glover
from LeUhtou Buzzard, on his way
home from market, fell in and was
drowned. Charged with manslaughter,
the miller pleaded that he had no place
wherein to get the kind of clay he re
quired except on the highroad He
was acquitted.
Evaporated Liquid#.
Steam emanating from boiling milk
If condensed would become water.
This may be seen In the manufacture
of condensed milk, which is only ordl
nary milk boiled down until the watei
!s out of It If a liquid which contains
solid foodie In solution be evaporated
I he solids are left behind. That this
is so may be shown by adding to wa
ter that is to lie distilled a trace of
magenta and a little salt The dis
tilled water has no taste and is color
less. The magenta Is generally depos
ited upon the skies of the boiling ves
sel.
A Waste of Powder.
A man who never before had been
duck bunting shot at a duck In the air
"Gee!" exclaimed the amateur's
friend. "Yoa got him."
"Yes." returned the amateur, "but I
might as well have saved my ammunl
tion-the foil would have klllud him
anyway."—Harper's Magazine.
Rice In China.
Many persons fancy that the entire
Chinese people depend on rice as the
main article of diet, but there are mil
lions in central and north China that
have never tasted rice, and to other
millions It Is more of a luxury than
wheat

S> PRACTICAL HEALTH HINT.
£ For Pyorrhea.
» Prevention l.s tlie best remedy
^ fnr pyorrhea. Ponrlsta preach
this everywhere. Benin with the
children and tench tliem how to
keep the teeth clean and free
from all kinds of food particles.
Tench them to brush the teeth
and rinse the teeth and gums
thoroughly three times a day
after meal9. Cleanliness keeps
the pums healthy FTnve the
tartar removed from the teeth:
this. If allowed to remain, makes
the sums recede and loosens the
teeth
Pyorrhea is not a constitu
tional disease: It Is a local affec
tion But the existence Is a
menace to health, for It causes
diseases of the Joints as well as
many other systemic diseases.
Watch your own teeth, watch
the teeth of the children, for the
first stpn of tartnr and go to a
dentist to have It removed
Keep the teeth clean at all times.
Pse plenty of tooth powder and
water to brush the teeth and do
not neglect thoroughly to rinse
the mouth and teeth.
THE'SAVING SENSE OF HUMOR.
The Patient—See here! Your ex
tractor took out two sound teeth In
stead of those I wanted removed.
Tho Dentist—Ha, ha! Glad you told
me. That's a good joke on the doctor.
I'll tell It on him at tho club.—Rich
mond Tlmes-Dlspatch.
In Spirit.
An Irishman saw, while passing
through a graveyard, these words writ
ten on a tombstone, "I still live."
Pat looked a moment and then said:
"Be Jabers, If I were dead I'd own up
to it!"—London Opinion.
Tho Truth.
Marj' had a little lamb,
And furthermore) we state.
She had It In a restaurant
And tangoed while she ate.
—Chicago News.
Its Enterprise.
"It was all very well for Solomon
to point to the ant for an example of
Industry, but a better example for n
provider would have been u chicken."
"Why a cnlcken?"
"Because It always comes tip to tho

ing a living."—Baltimore American.

"How's the world treatiu' you. Joe.'
"Ain't treatin' me at all. I have to

"Is it really true," Inquired the gen

you see the sign on the door?"
"I saw the sign all right." was the
