When he finally Left, autumn was half
gone, the ditto that was to hake the
pond deep enough to provenly the
water from freezing to the bottom was
unfinished, and no food had been
stored.
Late In October I visited the new
wilderness home. One orew of log-
gers were cutting aspens. They had
cleared a traiiway to drag the wood
through to the pond. The -beavers
had not finished their harvesting
when a heavy full of snow enure, and
they were compelled to turn their at-
tention to a patch of aspens that was
only about sixty feet from the pond
lint was separated from it by a thick
belt of pi11011 and a confusion of fallen
spruce logs.
Tracks In the snow showed that
during one night five beavers had
wallowed out to"tlte aspens and had
felled and dragged several trees to
the pond: but wolves had pounced
on one Of them while lie was at work,
and had overtaken and killed another
in the deep snow. The wolves seemed
to realize the distress of the beavers,
and lurked about to seize the hunger -
driven animals. At. that point in the
struggle the beavers decided to build
a tunnel. Beginning at the bottom of
the pond near the shore, they dug
outward toward the aspen grove. For
fifteen feet that subway ran about
two feet under the surface, then it in-
clined upward, and came out under a
pine tree close to the aspens., They
built a drngway from the end Of the
tunnel to the aspens and felled a num.
ber and worked them through the
tunnel to the pond.
At last cold, ice, snow and fear of
-enemies completely stopped the
heavers' harvest. Their food supply,
as seen through the clear ice, was
less than one half the normal quantity
and they began to burrow in the pond
for roots and bulbs. Again the cold
prevented their work, for the low
water froze to the bottom and shut
them off. They were not beaten, how-
ever. They dug a canal from their
house to the heart of the root area,
and kept It open. When the roots
gave out, they had to leave the pond
or starve, They tried to gnaw up
through the ice, and nearly succeed-
ed; but they discovered unfrozen
earth under the dam and tunneled
out to the channel of the stream.
Tracks of six muddy -footed beavers
on the snow at the outer end of the
completed tunnel told the number
that survived that cold whiter. They
lived in holes along the bank of the
stream until warns weather, when
they drifted away. Late the. next
autumn six beavers came back to the
pond anti put it in slope for winter,

DEEP SEA FISHERMEN
ARE 'VERY SUPERSTITIOUS
All seafaring men are credited with
being superstitious, but none is so

Nothing would induce a skipper of the
old school to sail of a Friday. Rumor

unbeliever who dared to leave the

the scandalized populace. If a man's
hat blew overboard while leaving a
port, many skippers would turn back
and delay sailing until the next day.

The fashion of keeping little dogs
as objects of luxury is not at all
modern, Both Greek and Roman wo-
men used to have small pet dogs,
over which they made as much to do
as does a fashionable lady of to -day

Even men, usually foreigners, were
not ashamed to stroll about the Ro-

"but Jizo is equally to blame, for he
is a god bound to protect everyone
who trusts 11Ln1 and this time lie has
betrayed you. Even though Jizo is a

of Yokogawa Street, and bring hint
before the Mayor's seat for trial,
Three of the officers departed on their
mission, They first bound the arms
of the stone god with coils of rope;
then they tried to lift him from This
firm pedestal into a cart. A great
crowd assembled before the Jizo, at-
tracted by the unusual behavior of
the court officers. When they were
told that Jizo oust go before the
Mayor for trial, the citizens of Yoko-
gawa Street and the neighborhood of
Honjo marveled,
The task of unseating the god was
too much for the three officers, and
they sought aid of those standing
about. They promised that in return
for assistance they would admit all
volunteer workers into- the courtroom
to witness the extraordinary trial,
Hundreds were spurred by curiosity
to lend a band, and when the stone
god went through the streets strapped
to a cart like any offender the crowd
grew. It filled tho,great hall of justice
when Jizo was lifted in and propped
up before the platform upon which sat
and under bonds they hurried to their
homes to bring back the cloth fine.
Before the day was done 700 pieces
of cotton cloth had been presented be-
fore the Mayor's court, the name of
each culprit being set down upon the
tan of cotton cloth which he present-
ed.
Before he would allow the 700 to go,
however, 0-oka retired with the por-
ter who had been robbed to an inner
chamber and he asked the porter to
look over the 700 pieces of cloth and
see if he could identify any of them
as having been once In the pack he
had carried. Since every manufac-
turer of cotton cloth in Yedo always
marked the selvage. of each strip with
a'little red trade -mark stamp the por-
ter searched the edges of many stripes
of cloth for a stamp similar to that
borne upon the cloth of which lie had
been robbed, He found that two of
the pieces of cloth brought to pay the
Mayor's fine bore the stamp of his
plundered pack. Instantly Mayor
0-oka ordered the arrest of the two
men who had brought tats cloth; they
confessed to the robbery, and ali'the
clout they had taken from the sleep-
ing porter's pack was restored to him.
All the other pieces of cloth, taken
in toll by the Mayor, were restored to
their owners, and all but the two
guilty members of the crowd which
had attended the trial of Jizo were re-
leased. Then Jizo, the stone god, was
put on a cart, wreathed with the ever-
green pine and the bamboo, symbols
of long life and prosperity, and he was
carried back to his pedestal in Yoko-
gawa Street at the head of a triumph-
al procession. Jizo had vindicated
himself, and Mayor 0-oka the wise sat
more firmly than ever in his seat of
power.
WHERE THE ICEBERGS
ARE HATCHED.
If one looks at an ordinary map, one
is surprised to find that Greenland is
considerably bigger than South Amer!.
ca. Which illustrates the distortion
of the Mercator projection, inasmuch
as South America is actually about
six tines the size of Greenlanci.
All the sante, Greenland is the big-
gest island in the world, and once up-
on a time it must have been a pleasant
place to live in. Plant fossils found
there prove that anciently it had a
tropical climate.
But it must have been a very long
time ago, for to -day nearly the whole
01 Greenland is covered by an ice
sheet with an average thickness of
1,000 feet. From a mountain range
two tulles high most of the great is-
land slopes ,downward and westward
toward Baffin Bay aid Davis Strait,
and so the ice sheet is continually
moving -in that direction.
Off the west coast are numerous is-
lands and, as the ice sheet forces its
way between them, it is ripped to
pieces, Huge fragments drop off,
forming what we call icebergs, and
are set afloat in the sea.
What happens to an individual ice-
berg after that depends upon accident-
al circunhstances. It may run ashore
on Bailin Island (the west side of
Davis Strait) or on the coast of Lab-
rador, further south. It it escapes
this fate, its passage southward
through the straitwill b8 very slow,
because it must plow its way through
field ice many feet thick.
The lucky iceberg is one that man-
ages to keep in the main channel and
is carried southward by the Labrador
current into the north Atlantic. Once
arrived in that region of open sea it
may drift about for many months be-
fore going to pieces. Largo bergs
have on occasions got as far as the
Azores.
A. sizeable berg may have nearly
Vertical walls 100 feet high, with pin-
nacles towering to twice that eleva-
tion. Often these floating mountains
of lee have very fantastic shapes. It
is not all safe for a ship to go near
one, for huge fragments sometimes
fall off, and it is no uncommon thing
for an iceberg suddenly to turn up-
side dowfi. The period of danger
from icebergs is April, May and June.

WE ARE IN LUCK
THAT AIR IS FREE.
When the Steel Trust was organized
Andrew Carnegie remarked that the
common stock was not even water;
It was "just alr."
This same "air" has become worth
something since then. If you want
any of it, you must pay for it at the
rate of $113 a share.
Ordinary air, thank goodness! has
not gone up in price. It is about the
only thing that has not done so. Even
the automobile garages advertise
"free ail,"
This is really very fortunate, be-
cause we need air not only to breathe,
but also for fuel. We keep the house
warm in winter, and the range going,
by burning air.
You thought it was coal? Well,
that is necessary also, but the coal
would be of no use as fuel unless you
had air to burn with it. tl
You can't burn one thing. Burning,
in kitchen range or furnace, means
the coming together of the oxygen of
the air and the carbon of the coal.
They effect a chemical combination,
The air is just as necessary to the
process of combustion- as the coal.
Our attenton is fixed upon coal as the
fuel for the sole reason that we have
to pay tor' it. It coal were free and
air cost money, we should look at the
matter from an opposite point of view.
Everything else is taxed nowadays.
Suppose the government were to take
a notion to put a tax on air, placing
an air -meter in each dwelling, Would
not that be horrible? .
There bas long been a tax on fresh
air in Germany. It is called a "win-
dow tax," being assessed according to
the number of windows with which a
house is provided. The result is that
people economize our windows, reduc-
ing the number to a minimum, and
their allowance of fresh air is there-

commonly imagined. Thirteen cubic
feet of it weigh a pound. But it is
lucky we are not obliged to store it,

An Ode to Health.
Health in itself makes life a per-
petual joy.
Nothing daunts, nothing over -awes,
nothing discourages, and nothing over-
powers the man and woman possessed
of health.
Health means not only vigor and
energy of the body, but also clarity
and strength of mind, purity of body
and of soul.
The healthy person dominates life,
instead of allowing life to dominate

He scarcely thinks of his body as
consisting of parts, or as performing
separate functions. To hien the body
is but one harmonious whole.
He is a unit, a being, a man; com-
plete, vigorous, perfect,
To sucli a man work is joy, He re -
garde obstacles as but opportunities
for testing his strength. He hardly
knows what weakness is. He never
experiences exhaustion. Merely to
grasp his hand is a pleasure, To gaze

"Yes, grandma," said the fair young
thing, "I am to be married during the

"But, my dear," said the old lady,
earnestly, "you are very young. Do
you feel that you are fitted for mar-

"I am being fitted now, grandma,"
explained the prospective bride,

Prune Roses.
Summer thinning of climbing roses
is desirable, after flowering, where the
plants are large and crowded.
Cut out the oldest stems which are
beginning to lose vitality. Cat these
down within a foot of the ground or
to one or two buds of their base, from
which young shoots will start next
year.
This gets the useless wood out of
the way, so the young growth will
have more room, light and air to de-
velop in.

to remove tan, freckles, sallowness.
Your grocer has the lemons and any
drug store or toilet counter will supply
you with three ounces of orchard
white for a few cents. Squeeze the
juice of two fresh lemons into a bottle,
then put in the orchard white and
shake well. This makes a quarter pint
of the very best lemon skin whitener
and complexion beautifier known,
1Ffassage this fragrant creamy lotion
daily into the face, neck, arms and
bands and just see how freckles; tan,
sallowness, redness .and roughness
disappear and how smooth, soft and
clear the skin becomes. Yes! It is
harmless, and the beautiful results
will surprise you.

If You Don't See the "Bayer Cross" on
the Tablets, Refuse Them—They
Are Not Aspirin At All.

Good news spreads rapidly and drug
gists here are kept busy dispensing
freezone,tile ether discovery of a Cin
cinnati man, which is said to loosen
any corn so it lifts out with the
fingers.
Ask at any pharmacy for a quarter
ounce of freezone, which will cost very
little, but is said to be sufficient to rid
one's feet of every hard or soft cora
or callus.
You apply just a few drops on the
tender, aching corn and instantly the
soreness is relieved, and soon the corn
is so shriveled that it lifts out with-
out pain. It is a sticky substance
which dries when applied and never
inflames or 00011 irritates the adjoin-
Ing
djoinIng tissue.
This discovery will prevent thou-
sands of deaths annually from lock-
jaw and infection heretofore result10
from the suicidal habit of cutting
corns,
