WHalos Once Lived on Land.
Scientists tell us that whales did not
always lire In the sea, but In prehis
toric days dwelt upon the land. They
are not true fishes, and their skeletons
still give evidence of the days when
they possessed four legs. Further
more, while fishes breathe water from
which the air is separated by means of
their gills whales breathe air and sepa
rate the life giving oxygen from the
other gases by internal lungs like land
animals, in contrast to fishes also
they are warm, red blooded animals.
The largest whales ure found in the
antarctic and arctic seas.
A Blind Beggar's Trick.
Blind men are by no means always
helpless, as I discovered myself the
other day. I happened to pass a blind
men selling newspapers in the street
It was a windy day, and he was cry
ing, "Have I got it right way up?"—
referring to his placard.
He hadn't, so I put It right for him
and gave him a copper, pitying his
misfortunes. Then I stopped for a
moment to look at something In a
shop window, and almost immediately
arose again the doleful outcry. "Have
I got it right way up?"
I turned around astonished. The
placard was upside down again. Of
course it may have been the wind.—

Ancient Doll*.
Among ancient races the doll was
taken very seriously and served a
higher purpose than to amuse a child.
That wax dolls were made and were
used in magic rites 200 years ago and
more before Christ we know, because
Theocritus mentions them and be
cause he uses a Thessalian word,
dagys, to describe them, the inference
Is that they were known in Thessaly.
But when they were first made of wax
and when wax dolls were first used as
playthings there is nothing to show.—
Loudon Chronicle.
Letting It Go.
Hink was a shorthand reporter.
"I say, Penn," he said to bis friend
one day, "here's the boy from the of
fice after that report of the lecture. Is
it finished?"
"All but a short sentence toward the
end," replied Tenn, "and I can't quite
make out what it is you have written."
"All right," answered Hink, "just in
sert "Great applause' and let It go."
Result in the account of the lecture:
"Gentlemen, I will detain you but a
few seconds longer. (Great applause.)"

Paved With Tombstones.
Tombstones uie not infrequently em
ployed in different parts of England
for paving purpos es. Some four or five
years ago tlie inhabitants of Belvolr
bitterly | r<.tested against the use of
such material iu the construction of a
road leading to the parish church, de
spite the assurances of the local au
thorities that with the liberal supply
of old and broken gravestones at their
disposal the plan had been adopted
with a view to saving the taxpayers
quite a sum.
Fh*ht of Seeds.
It is jtopularly believed that winged
seeds from u\es travel to great dis
tances on !he wind. but the Investiga
tions of a C/iiisii scientist who has
spent much time at Singapore Indicate
that winged s.-c.ls have a far narrower
range of flight than have "powder"
seeds and plumed seeds. The greatest
distance traveled by the winged seeds
of a forest tree observed by this au
thority w::s 11"! yards. Under the
most favorable eircmstances. he cal
culates. it wouid take this plant Just
100 years to spread .'WO yards and

A CALL FOR AID
Miss Mary G. Hindshaw at one
time a resident of Skagway, where
she successfully taught music,
and at an earlier date made her
heme in Sitka, now writes from
Middleton, Lancashire, England,
that sh§ Is called upon to deliver
a lecture on "Life iu Alaska" be
foro tho Manchester Geographical
Society. Miss Hindshaw lias lec
tured on several occasions during
the past two years and \rill respond
to the call from this very learned
society. If anyone has a few good
pictures of Sitka; pictures of the
Inside Passage to Skagway or In
dian pictures or any good photo
graphs of Alaskan scenery, he or
she will confer a great favor on
Miss Hindshaw by sending them to
her direct or by leaving them where
Mrs. L. S. Keller can get them *o
mail. This lecture is for the bene
fit of the war sufferers and it is
hoped that a considerable Bum
will be realized. Let us all add a
small token of sympathy by sending
a photograph to be used in the
leoture. Miss Mary G. Hindshaw,
Mount Cottage, Mount Road, Mid
dleton. Lancashire, England, is
her address. Miss Hindshaw fur
ther writes, "These English days
are dark and sad and fraught with
anxietp arnd grief for all of us—one
never loses thought of the dreadful
war, and when one goes out and
sees the maimed and broken, lame
and bandaged men with their cheery
faces and brave eyes, it breaks one's
heart. You scarcely ever see one of
them with, a dark o>r despondent ex
pression, and yet we Have to remem
ber what they have been through.
Tho one unpardonable thing in their
minds seems to bo "downhearted."
All, must keepi a bold front and
not falter. It is wonderful!" Miss
ELndshaw seems to think; tie prices
arr high in England for food. Wheq
she sees the Skagway 1st that jvil
be seat her, she Will think the ef
fect of the war high prices has
lilt Skagway as well. I
