Perhaps the most desolate spot on earth is a tiny storm swept islet in Bering sea nearly midway between Alaska and Siberia. Nearly fifty miles from the nearest land, King’s island is a barren rock, so steep that no beach landing can be found. Here on the southern side, perched like nests above the roaring surf and secured to the rocks by walrus thongs, are the skin dwellings of the walrus hunters. Here the sun is never shining, the sea never smooth. Cold, chilly fogs enshroud the place in summer, while the frequent nnd furious gales that sweep through Bering strait at all seasons render the parrow summit uninbabitable. Ice locked during nine montbs of the year, the natives depend entirely upon the seal, walrus and whale as a meaus of existence. During the brief summer a stray whaler may visit the island for a couple of hours, but this is the sole communication with the outer world. The King’s islanders are closely allied to the Alaskan Eskimos. They are a fine, hardy race, inured to daily dan- gers and privations, and are reckoned the best and bravest sailors in Bering sea. Their boats of walrus hide will carry from twenty to thirty persons in a mountainous sea. Strange Fuels. “I bave eaten mutton cooked on a fire of broken mummy,” said the sail- or. “It was in Bgypt, and the mumiay ‘was stolen out of a tomb. Them na- tives Is always stealin’ mummies. They sell them in pieces to tourists, and what pieces they can’t dispose of otherwise they throw into the-bin for fuel. Mummy burns like tinder, but it’s a ghastly fuel. It is as ghastly a fuel as the shoe lasts what they burn in the shoemakin’ town of Lynn, where the old fashioned and discarded las glowin’ in the grates look to you li amputated human Trilbies. I been in tannery towns where the fuel is leath- er chips. This fuel smells and smoke: It clinkers, too, formin’ itself into big, solid chunks what have to be broke up with the poker every little while. In British Columbia, where fish is as plen- tiful as air, they burn dried fish when there’s no wood handy. The oil in the fish causes them to burn well, but the smell of this fish fuel ain’t to no white man’s taste.” Hunting the Bird of Paradise. Inside a queer, birdcage-like wicker | & contrivance built high up in a tree the Aru islander will watch patiently for days to get a shot at a bird of paradise, perhaps the loveliest of nature’s crea- tlons. His food is supplied every morn- Ing by another native, who remains at the foot of the tree during the day to secure any bird which may fall, killed or stunned. Only the adult males, with long plumes, are sought after, for were not this the case this beautiful species would long ago have become extinct. To secure living specimens the natives employ an arrow having three prongs at the end. These prongs are barbed on the inside, and the object Is to shoot at the legs of the bird, which, when |ii hit, flutters helplessly to the ground.— A. E. Pratt in Wide World Magazine, Matter of Fact Lovemaking. For downright prose Dr. Johnson's offer of hand and heart to his second wife would be hard to beat. “My dear woman,” said Johnson, “I am a hard- | § working man and withal something | of a philosopher. I am, as you know, very poor. I have always been re. spectable myself, but I grieve to telt you that one of my uncles was hung.” “T have less money than you, doctor,” | & demurely answered the lady, “but 1 shall try to be philosophical too. None of my relatives have ever been hung, but T have several who ought to be.” | “Providence and philosophy have evl- dently mated us, my good woman,* said the doctor as he pressed a chaste salute on the ladv’s hrow. Tolerance In Japan. ‘Westerners seem to find it incon- celvable how «the Japanese can main- tain allegiance to different creeds at one and the same time. One broad ex- planation of this is that we as a nation are tolerant in mind, especially in mat- ters pertaining to religion. — Japan Times of Tokyo.

Many s s are told of how the com- poser Brahfns treated pianists and singers who were eager to get his eriti- cism. If one of these aspirants for his vor was forfunate enough to find him at Tlome and be received, Brahms’ first coucern was to seat himself on the lid of his pia 4 position from which he rightly deemed few would have the te- werity to oust him. If this failed, he had recourse to the statement that the instrument was out of tune. “Oh, that does not matter,” remarked one cour- ageous individual, “Perhaps not to you, but it does to me,” replied the master: On one occasion he was just leaving his house when a long haired youth, with a bundle of music under his arm, hailed him with, “Can you tell me where Dr. Brahms lives?” “Certainly,” answered the master in the most amia- ble manner, “in this house, up three flights.” And, so saying, he hurried away. The Treacherous Lioness, “Lionesses are far more dangerous than lons,” said an animal trainer. “Their tempers are more uncertain, They are more treacherous. They are more wily. If a lion is in a bad hu- mor, he shows it. He growls and snarls and lashes his sides. You know what is in the wind and prepare ac- cordingly. But a lioness in a bad bu- as affectionate as a girl. She s, purring, against your leg; and she minds you with the joyous alac- rity of a good fox terrier. Then, as soon as your back is turned, whiz—a yellow streak shoots through the air, and you are on your back, and she is at your throat. With all the cat tribe it is the same. Whenever you hear of a trainer mauled or mangled, be sure it was a female, not a male, cat that did the deed.” The Sum of Genius. Men give me some credit for genius. All the genius that. I have lies just in this: When I have a subject in hand, I study it profoundly. Day and night it is before me. I explore it in all its bearings. My mind becomes pervaded with Then the effort which I make is what people are pleased to call the fruit of genius. It is the fruit of labor and of thought.—Alexander Hamilton. The Wrong Jam. Haskell-What's Bobby crying for? Mrs. Haskell—Oh, the poor boy caught his finger in the pantry door. Haskell —H'm! He evidently didn’t get the jam he was looking for that time.— Pick-Me-Up, Getting Back at Him, Hewitt—I got even with the doctor who vaccinated me. Jewett—How did you do It?
