Cieacenl raited loodf tie light, aweel, rid whole aome Lonely Britisher. Living on an island belonging to the Paumotu archipelago, a French posses sion in mld-Paclflc, mitny thousands of miles from the Australian continent, Is Kdward Dnvles, who claims the distinc tion of being the loneliest Britisher. There arejrnly three other white men on the Island, which Is 40 miles long and 20 miles broad, but these are three Frenchmen. Hundreds of miles to the southward of New Zealand are the Macqimrie Islands, on one of which two men manipulate a wireless service to Australiu. Their small hubltntlon Is the only one on the island, which has no trees or shrubs, natives, hurbors, and very little sunshine, being bitterly cold and most desolate. Their only companions are penguins. It Is the most southern abode in the world for a Briton. Almost an Unknown Race. In tba extreme north of the Russian province of Archangel dwells one of the queerest and least known races of mankind. These are the Sanioyeiles. the wandering tribes of the vast frozen marshes which extend in these regions from the forest belt to the shores of the Arctic ocean, an exchnnge soys. They worship idols and their sole wealth consists in reindeer. Living, the reindeer draws the sledge, which transports the Samoyede and his be longings from spot to spot In search of the game fish which constitute his principal sustennnce. Dead, It provides hfm with meat in times of scarcity, and with skin for his family tent. With Its sharpened bones he tips his wooden fishing harpoons and hunting spears. Its sinews he uses to sew together the shirt, breeches, and boots of sealskin, which are the attire alike of the Samoyede men, women and children. "VTOU can purchase goods made elsewhere and send a part of your money to other sections to be distri buted in payrolls for the benefit of those communities. Or you can insist on Oregon Made Products and your money all of it will remain in Oregon to increase the output of Oregon factories; to make bigger pay rolls for Oregon; to build more homes and better schools in Oregon. Which are you buying? The Mongols. .The "Mongols, Tarurs or Buns" srs now generally held to belong to, nei ther "the Semitic. Htmltlc or Aryao races. The latest authorities divide the Inhabitants of the world Into the Ethloplc Mougollc and Caucaslc groups. Central and north Asia, the Balkans, parts of Russia. Tibet, China, Japan, Finland, Lapland, Siberia, Hun gary, the Malay peninsula, Madagas car, Philippines, are all peopled by Mongols 'to which family, are also ascribed the North American Indians and the Eskimo. We have traveled far from the elementary teaching of the old-school geographers you will notice, though we are still compelled to accept as characteristics of the di visions the colors black for Ethloplc, yellow for Mongol I c and white for the Caucaslc. 131. Story of Familiar Quotation. Correctly given the quotation 1ft "When Greeks Joined Greeks, then was the tug of war." It Is from a tragedy entitled "The Rival Queens; or Alex ander the Great," by Nathaniel Lee, a tragic poet who died in 1092. He wrote a number of tragedies in spite of the fact that he had occasional at tacks of Insanity, a misfortune that seemed to assist rather than retard his bursts of eloquence. Curiously enough, while that one line has lived and has been wafted down through the centuries and quoted by thousands, there is not one person In a hundred who knows who wrote it or anything about Its author, even after they have heard his name. Advice to authors. try to utter at least one pungent sen tence if you wish your words to be remembered. 1 That "Stranae Herb" Tobacco. Tobacco and America were discov ered at the same time. The party Co lumbus sent forth from his caravels to explore the island of Cuba brought back the report that they had seen men with lighted firebrands which were perfumed with a strange herb which they carried on their persons. The "strange herb" was first taken to Eu rope over half a century later by an other Spaniard, Francisco Fernandez, who had been dispatched by the Span. ish king to Mexico to Investigate the products of that rich country. Plants Have Eyes. Most people are awnre that potatoes have eyes, but how many know that certain common garden and wild flow ers are similarly equipped? The nas turtium, begonia, clover, wood sorrel and, bluebell, among others, have eyes placed on their leaves, says London Tit-Bits. They are tiny protuberances, filled with a transparent, gummy mix ture, which focuses the rays vt light upon a sensitive patch of tissue be hind them. A nasturtium plant has thousands of such "eyes" on Its leaves, but It Is not yet known if the plant can actually see. Are the sense im pressions telegraphed to some central nerve coresponding with the broln of l lie animal kingdom? In. addition to this visual organ many plants show sensitiveness to touch that points to further resemblance to animals; while certain seaweeds and mosses In an early stage of their existence are able actually to swim through the water. iW . - ...aWS" V should satisfy without surfeiting Snow Flakes are of ft texture and crispness for suppers. Sold fresh everywhere Learning What to Kill. Did you ever stop to think when yon put your foot down to crush a little Insect thru you might be taking the life of sumethltiK very valuable? Kven the little hectics nnd ton Is nnd snakes, which I know you don't like, according to our nnturnllsts are' doing a good work, destroying Insects that are hurt ful to our crops, our vegetables and oven our pretty flowers. The snuke really ents so many poisonous Insects that ho Is like nature's policemiin sure enough. Some, one has suggested that each boy and girl call themselves mem bers of a protective association, and see how many little harmless lives they can protect everyday. Always he sure before you kill anything Is the best plan. Kansas City Star. Where Pearls Abound. ""On some of the Islands lying to the north and east of Australia, Inhabited by natives who still practice cnnnl ballsm, stories of vnluablo pearls are not infrequently found by daring white traders, evMi to this day. Nn tlvtfs often part with their collections of gems In exchange for mere trifles, particularly for things that they can use for personal adornment. In the New Hebrides, the Solomon Islands and in some ptirt' of tin Kijl group pearls :ire still ohttdni'd In considerable quan tities by natives. These divers perform wonderful feats. It is not unusual for them to bring up shells from n depth of 120 feet, and It Is an ordinary thing for them to work In water 50 to 75 feet deep. They do this without diving equipment of any kind. Thomas Jefferson's Bible. In 1904 congress caused to be re produced in photolithographic fonn the so-culled Jefferson Bible, or more correctly, "The Morals and Life of Jesus of Nazareth," extracted textu al ly from the gospels In (Jreek, Latin, French and English, by Thomas Jeffer son. Texts were cut by him out of printed copies of Greek, Latin, French nnd English Testaments and pasted In four parallel columns on blank pageH, which later were bound In red mo rocco, ornumented In gilt, nnd titled on the back In gilt letters, "The Morals of Jesus." The original Is In the Unit ed States museum at Washington, and 0,000 duplicate copies for the use of congress were printed In 1004. I J.

Noru hated to have her hair washed, so mother came to this solution: She would tell the child that sometimes hair turned red If washed with tar soap. The plan worked beautifully. There were no mure uproars on hulr washing days, for the little one was fond of red hair. But one dny when mother bt'gan using the same soap for Norn's bath, the child let out o scream and said, "Mama, 1 like red hair, but oh, I don't want red feet, too." Why Called "0en Bird." Do you know how the oven bird got its name? Well, It wns because Its' nest built among the leaves or pi tip needles on the ground Is arched nnd nf an oven-like appearance, says the American Forestry association, Wash ington. You do not see the oven bird sitting on the topmost twig of a tree like some oilier members of the fenth ery tribe, but ho sticks close to the ground, mourning to the lower branches nf a tree only to sing or to scold an Intruder, The song of the oven bird somewhat resembles the word "teacher.'
