Driven to despondency by the sick­
ness of herself and husband, residents
of Medford only a week, Mrs. John
S. Fields of Bennett avenue, near
Roosevelt,'attempted suicide yesterdav
morning. Excruciating pain from the
attack of the agent, corrosive subli­
mate, prompted the woman to use her
finger as an emetic, this action no
doubt saving her life.
A physician who was called by neigh­
bors as s oon as it was known the at­
tempt had been made, found Mrs.
Fields in a serious condition, her jaws
set and her stomach convulsed. A
stomach pump was used, after the
administration of antidotes and after
several hours’ work by the physician,
Mrs. Fields was out of danger. The
attending physician gives it as his
opinion that there is no further likeli­
hood of serious complications.—Sun.

Tlie usual sights on entering an Eski

site you a steamer-like berth covered
with skins—lhe sleeping quarters of
the family; underneath, or In front, sit
one or two women, busily sewing; to
the right, a man making bunting gear.
Never will you find an Eskimo family
idle. All occupants tile naked to the
waist, sometimes only covered with
a loin cloth Along the wall on either
side burn several lamps, These lamps
are shallow soapstone basins tilled
with the oil of the seal, whale or wal-
rus; along the edge is placed a lit-
tie ridge of moss, wliich answers
the purpose of the wick iu our lamps.
The lamps do not smoke, aud. besides
illuminating, throw a great beat
Above the flame hangs a piece of blub­
ber, to replenish the oil, ulso a tea­
kettle.
You are cordially invited to take off

during meal time, which is at any hour

ILLICIT DIAMOND BUYING.
Dodges the Traders Worked In Kim-
Cncle Sam has twenty-eight differ­
ent kinds of mail bags In service, and
they range Iu cost from 22 cents to
|2.15ti each. There are mall pouches
for almost every conceivable use, and
I you cun ship almost anything that
comes within lite postal regulations
with a minimum of loss and breakage,
says Harper's Weekly. Probably the
most peculiar mail bug is the one ar­
ranged for carrying bees. Sending
; bees by mail was a difficult operation
i before the "bee bag" was adopted.
Usually the bees arrived at tbelr des-
i limit km dead or so exhausted that
I they were of little use. Now these
little honey makers can be shipped by
mail several thousand miles in the
"lice bag” without suffering und can
obtain air and a good supply of food
during their transit.
Mall bags are made of various mate­
rials. The cheapest aro of cotton and
the most costly of leather. Those used
on fust expresses are re-enforced with
metal so that they can be flung from
fast moving trains without damage.
Even then these bags, or “catcher
pouches,” do not last much more than
a year nnd a half, while some of the
cotton bags used for tlie work will re­
main in service upward of ten years.
In parts of the west, where the mnil
must lie carried for many miles on
horseback, special )>ouches are in use
for slinging over the uulmal's flanks.
In tlte far frozen north special bags
arc made for sled transportation, and
in I lie cities a bag In use for pneu­
matic tube service is made of a com­
position called "leatherold." The or­
dinary cotton mail bags aro woven so
closely that they are practically wa­
terproof. and In the weave there are
thirteen strl;>es of blue. Each country
murks its owu mall pouches in some
individual way, so that if one gets
lost in a far country its ownership
can be readily detected.
Nearly 115.000.000 mall bags are used
each year by the whole country, and
as they are being worn out all the
time the supply Ims to be kept up.
There are mull laig hospitals. Where
tens of thousands of them go every
week. One su< h mall bag hospital re­
pairs upward of 5.000 a day. These
crippled bags are in ail sorts of dilap­
idated conditions. A railroad wreck
may Injure several hundreds or thou­
sands. and these must all go to the
hospital before entering active life
again. Christmas is responsible for
much damage to the mall bags, owing
to the hard service they get, nnd im­
mediately after the midwinter holiday
season several hundred thousand bags
go to the hospitals.
Mall bags are the most traveled of all
articles in use today. They are con­
stantly moving, nnd it would be im­
possible to estimate the number of
miles a bag ten years old bas trav-
