Dr, eitefansson. ‘1, 116 possibly more interested in the curious blonde people whom he livea witu aud letudied for eeveral mouth e than almost any other of his finds, hut the museum. Mails believe that his moet valuable discov- eries dealt with the pottery art in the Arctic regions. ln the past it was be- lieved that ouly the laskimos in Alaska knew anythiug about the use Of pottery for cooking and other purpoees, but Dr. Stefansson found specimens through- out the extensive eection over which he trayeled, even in the land of the strange blonde people, although they were not given to the use of it. There are now on, the way to the eauseum aboard the whaler Belvid,ere, due to reach San Francisco in Novem- ber, between 40,000 and. 50,000 eth- nological specimens, including pottery, clothing , weapons, furniture, etc., which Stefameson gathered with the as- sistance of Dr. R. N. Anderson, one of the museum'. iscientists. Dr, Stefansson said that the purpose Of the expedition was to find Eskim:os uncontaminated by contact with. white men, and in this he succeeded beyond his fondest expeetations. "I depended altogether on game," he said , "My plan can be succeedully carried out in any country where cari- bou are found. During the thirteen and a half months that 1 was away I went without breakfast (tidy once, I had, with me six dogs and one sled. I took 960 rounds of ammunition and. used but 600 rounde." ANCESTRY OF WHITE ESKIMOS. Asked concerning his impreseione, as to the ancestry of the white Eskimos, Dr, Stefaasson said: l believe they are descended from aucestry approximately half Euro- pean and half Eekimo, and the num- ber is so large that one MUlit suppose a large Dumber of white men a long time ago mixed with Eskimos. The only place I can think of from which these white men could have come it tho West coast of Greenland. it is well known that this west coast was inhabited 'from before the year 1,000 until about 1450, by a comparatively proeperous colony of gammen or Scandinavians. "Out of the 1,500 I eaw," he contin- ued, "I should eity that about a dozen had bme eyes. Brown eyes predominat- ed. Fifteen per cent. possessed eyebrows as light as mine. (The doctor's are a light brown.) A few had curly hair and a number had red beards. A great many of them made a practice of pullingout their hair by the roote. This is done be- cause of the inconvenience of having ice freeze to the hair. Not one that 1Baw had the stiff, black Mongolian hair of the Alaska Eskimo. Scientifically there is no reason for the belief that the Eskimoscame from Asia, as was once believed. They are just as American as the Sioux 1»dian." MOSQUITO PEST.

It is not a new plant, but its use has not been known until recently. The Essex County Mosquito Extermi- nation. Commission of New :Jersey has obtained some of the seed of this plant. and after it has made some experiments in growing it will distribute it through- out the country. It is asid that if the merest sprig of the plant be nurtured in a room no moequito will attempt. to enter it, and one strong stalk on a porch will keep it clear of the pests, Aecording to Stewardson Brown, cur- ator of the herbarium of the Aettdenty of Natural Science, of New York, the plant is a native of 'Western Africa. "1 krtow it to grow in Liberia," he said. "and. the plant is mid to p0a8eSB certain eurative qualities. Over there in Liberia, the natives consider it a pana- cea for all ills. They use it as a remedy for bites, for sprains, and even for in- ternal diseeees. "A man in this city tried to grow it some time ago in that section of the city known as the 'Neck,' but he dila not suceeed. It will probably grow in New Jeresey, but only as an annual; that is they will have to replant it ev- ery year. Over in Liberia it reproduees by itself and is quite abundant. "As 1 reeall it. it has the qualities that would tend to drive the mosquito away. The odor is similar to that of pennyroyal, and is not at all unpleasant to human beings. Perhaps it if4 not an important plant as yet, but it is quite likely to become one later." The State of New Jersey has spent thousands of deflate in the attempt to lied a remedy for the mosquito pest. If this herb really proves satisfactory it will be eultivated throngliout the romp. try and sold in Ftores.

'1' IE 1)iVE1tSI1IC1.TION OF CROPS, (hhirmert; Advocate.) In dealing with crops suittible for ir- rigation terms, the 'Yearbook of the Un- ited Statue Department of .Agneulture foi• 1911 gives the following on diverfute catkin of ('rope, whieh is applicable .on any soil where gowned farming is carried on. Diversifiestion of crops is essential to a permanent and prosperous agriculture, ana tide diveralfication 3110111d exist on the individual farm, as well as in the etnumunity as a whole. The importance of diversification hi recognized and praeticed in every community that has been long establiehed, even where the products of other See1,1011$ are easily 0- taina hie. VItere a conanunity 1 aloha - ed, diversifieation is etill more import- ant because of the high cost of trans- portation. The greateet economies in agricultural production are enured not where epeeialization is practiced, but where diversification of crops permits the meet uniform and continuous em- ployment of labor, and where the larger proportiou of needed food supplies ni produced at home. It is a deplorable feature of many new agricultural reg- ions that a large proportion of the food supply is imported, when it could be pro- dueed muelt more cheaply. A high degree of specialization in farming is economically more feasible whim a cmumuuity is well established, and where facilities for an exchange of products •and a shifting of labor are highly perfected. In a new and isol- ated community, on the other hand, the best and most rational development is secured when a sufficient diversity of I industries Is practiced to supply the ma- jority of the home * requirements to keep labor continuously and effectively employed, and to insure a revenue from some of the crops when others fail. Unfortunately, mueh of the exploita- tion of agricultural land *in new regions is done on the basis of a, single crop. Not infrequently, investment is solicit- ed, under an arrangement whereby the land. is to be planted to some perennial crop, and oared for by the Geller until the crop comee into production. Such schemes of exploitation have little to recommend them, even when carried out faithfully. The rigors of pioneering are not to be lessened that way. The pro- file in agriculture are seldom large, and. are assured only as a result of close personal attention, careful economy and persistent effort. Nonmesident owner- ship and operation permit none of these, and are seldom, if ever, profitable. Under ordinary conditions, farming should not be looked upon primarily as a money -making occupation, but rather as a means of a fairly certain livelihood and an opportunity of home -making. As a general thing, investment opportuni- ties in agriculture are to be found in the increase of land values, and are there. fore of a speculative nature. *Under favorable conditions, farming may be ex- pected. to afford all of the necessities and some of the luxuries of life, and it favors the development of healthy, sane and shit -reliant eitizens. These are the mrincipal features and Advantages of 'farm life with irrigation, as elsewhere L111 new communities or in old ones. On; (whop chief desire ie to actumulate wenith through the investment of money can usually find more profitable open- ings in some other line than farming, SOME NOTES. It is surprising how few 'foals are seen in a day's travel through the eountry. No wonder the demand for horses keelps up.

What is eo become of the stallion? Is he to be placed in a stall, there to remain in darkness and seclusion until time to commence another year's ser- vice? Far better would it be to put him to work and make him earn his keep, at the same time keening him in ex- cellent condition for breeding sound, healthy foals. At least give him daily exercise in a paddock or on a, line. /f the rush of work cultivating corn and hoed crops, harvesting the season's crop, and commencing the early autumn cultivation, necessitates that the mare with eolt at side must work, it will be found profitable to give her a little ex- tra, feed, and at the same time provide the colt with a separate box from which he may get a liberal ration of oats and bran to make up for the Ices he sustains in the falling off in milk supplied by hia dam, due to the extra work. Commenting upon the farm -labor pro- blem, a. Toronto daily recently put forth the opinion that there is a greet future Why Snoula I Use Cuticura Soap? "4 "There is nothing the matter 'with my skin, and I thought Cuticura Soap was only for skin troubles," True, it is for skin troubles, but its great mission is to prevent skin troubles. For more than a generation its deli. cate emollient and prophylactic properties have rendered it the standard for this purpose, while its extreme purity and refreshing fragrance give to it all the advan- tages of the best of toilet soaps. It is also invaluable in keeping the hands soft and white, the hair live and glossy, and the scalp free from dandruff and irritation. While its first cost is a few cents more than that of ordinary toilet soaps, it is prepared with such care and of such materials, that it wears to a wafer, often outlasting several cakes of other soap, and making its use, in practice, most econom- ical, Cuticura Soap is sold by druggists and dealers everywhere, but the truth of these claims may be demonstrated without cost by sending to "Cuticura," Dept, 7M,1 Boston; U.

Thie lute been the trouble too long. Men have been engaged for short summer season; only, and. no work given during the winter months, The farms on whieh labor ie employed by the year do not suffer st any season from lack of help to such a degree as farms on which hired men are kept only during the haying or harvest, or the summer season. The best method to secure satisfactory labor in country districts, and one which has been advo- cated through these columns thne aria again, is to so manage the farm as to have profitable work for the hired help winter and sunamer, and to supply them with houses to live in. Thi e means an Increase in the live Stock kept in the country, more fertile farms, greater satisfaction for all concerned, and bet- ter returns from the land.

It seerne that the tickets were hawked about the Piraeus and were eagerly purchased from the combined motive of patriot* and the excitement attendant upon a gamble. One day a hawker stopped outside a milkshop and, seeing an ass standing by laden with egga, oheese and butter, to tantalize the animal took one' of hts tickets and gave it to the beast. The poor ass was struggling With it izt the hope of extracting awl:lathing eatable, when a grocer on the opposite eide of the way who had eeen what was hap- pening rushed across and rescued the ticket," That ticket," he said to the hawker, "will witi a prize, and I will buy it."

The General took his 01211 life by stabbing himself in the throat with a sword, but his wife cornmitted harakari, or hara-kiri, by disem- boweling herself, after the fashion in vogue among the Japanese in early times. Suicide by disemboWeltuent was formerly practised by the feudal barons and nobles and members of the military class when unwilling to survive some persom-t1 or family disgrace, or in order to avoid. the headman's sword after hav- ing received sentence of death. But it is not often recorded that a high official sacrificed himself as a matter of duty, affection or honor for a dead monarch. The death and funeral of lInaperor hlut- sulk° have been surrounded by such pomp and glamor and lavish display that it was natural that it should make deep impression not only on the people, but on those more immediately connect- ed with the Court, to which Nogi and the Countess were closely attached, And 'it is possible that while laboring under a high nervous tension these two favorites of the Mikado deemed it their duty to follow him to the unseen world. Count Kiten. Nogi first came into *world View during the Chinese -Japan war, when he commanded a brigade at the battle of Kinchow in 1804. But the most memorable events of his career were the siege of Port Arthur by the third army corps of Japan, under his comma.nd in the Russo-Japaneae war in 1904-5, 41,nd the great flanking march made through Chinese ternitory by tbe same army in the battle of Mukden.
