Far removed Is It from the haunts of civi lized man, though Included within the geographical confines o( Greater New York. And for the most part barren are the 1,500 or 1,600 in habitants pf civic or national Ideals, even of ambition to better their condi tion; to make their days and nights conform measurably to standards such as other folk enjoy who are adopted sons and daughters of Father Knick erbocker's great and growing family, says the New York Sun. Anyone with the desire to visit for eign shores, and without traveling more than an hour or so from City Hall park, can descend into the sub way near by the municipal building, take a train for Canarsie, and at Canarsle landing step on board a steamboat which leaves there at fre quent Intervals bound Barren Island- ward. In an hour, more or less, the traveler will have arrived at his destination at a land mass, as Arctic explorers put it situate In a general direction south by east from the main borough of Brooklyn. Near by, toward the west, Is Sheepshead bay; to the east Is Jamaica bay, and not far oft is the group of Rockaways. Thus it will be seen that Barren island, while off the beaten track of travel, Isby no means inaccessible. Yet when the traveler sets foot on shore there and takes one comprehensive glance around he will realize that In all but location he is in a foreign land. The principal "center" of Barren island Is its one great industry, that of handling refuse of the biff city of which it is a humble part This cen tral spot is marked by the work of the reduction company, upon the op eration of which Barren island and Its Inhabitants depend. Eastward from this great garbage plant stretches the one main avenue Broadway It Is called, possibly so named many years ago by someone with a keen sense of the ludicrous. For this particular Broadway Is bounded on one side by a marsh, a good, representative oozy marsh at that; and along the other side are perched the one-story homes of the employees of the garbage plant. In many of these little shacks it is said that two and sometimes three families exist. In a majority it is alleged that boarders are taken. In fact, some of those who have been looking over social conditions at Bar ren island seem inclined to think that entirely too many boarders are taken In some of the tiny shacks that serve as dwellings. Filth and Diamonds. Not many months ago, two or three or Commissioner Goldwater's staff Journeyed down to Barren Island, made a careful survey of health condi tions and came back home with a re port that caused astonishment in the health dupartment offices. They found a partial supply of good water on the Island; but also found that a large proportion of the people were drink ing water from surface wells. Further more, it was found that modern sani tary conveniences are practically un known; that babies and ducks and cows and goats wallow side by side In the muck of "Broadway;" that while there is a Bchool on the island there is no truant officer, and that because of this the children may go to school or not Just as they choose. Also that a large majority of them prefer to spend their days in rummaging Into the mountain-high heaps of refuse, using strong Iron forks and garner lng therefrom treasures that their parents can sell or barter bits of metal, occasionally pieces of gold or silver Jewelry, now and then a scarf pin or cuff link, a watch charm and once in a while a diamond ring or stud. "It is hard to believe," said one of Commissioner Goldwater's men, who has been on a trip of investigation, "but down at Barren island almost MEN OF AGE ENJOY DANCE Youngsters Have Nothing on Their Grandfathers When It Comes to Grace and Agility. In the Woman's Home Companion a sixty-year-old dancer tells how people can learn the new steps, enjoy them thoroughly, and even cut out the younger generation by their graceful manner of dancing. He himself did not begin to dance until after kls six tieth year and he tells of a coterie of hoary-headed fox trotters who are going ballroom mad. "Besides White," he says, "I have a number of other elderly friends and acquaintances that dance. I know a wealthy man of sixty-eight who has been taking lessons for two years. He calls up his teacher early In the morn ing and orders her to his residence and dances an hour before breakfast I have another acquaintance who dances beautifully with his grand daughter, a girl of sixteen. I know an old fox trotter who Is preferred as a partner by girls to any of his three sons, all of whom are fair dancers. He zms .i island hoMco every foreman or other Important per sonage wears diamonds and I am told that every one of them was picked up In those heaps of refuse. This, re member, after the refuse has been screened, crushed and examined with minute care for Just such valuable pickings. " Russians, Slavonians, Poles and ne groes apparently constitute the pre dominant strains of population, al though other peoples are to be found, Including Italians. Rumor has it, in fact, that the political leader of Bar ren island's little squad of voters is himself an Italian, and a very keen one at that. Life down there may not be all beer and skittles although if health department surmises are correct a considerable part of it may be beer or liquid cousins thereto. But so far as can be ascertained by an outsider the Islanders are far from an unhappy community. They work hard, it is true, in and around the reduction plant, at least the men do and their womenfolk seem to work Just as hard about their little homes, while the boys and girls, when they are not attending school, find plenty of occupation in searching for hidden treasure In those huge heaps of refuse. Happy Boys and Girls. The boys and girls of Barren Island form the leading part of the popula tion, so far as observation of the out side visitor can detect. Of course they do not wear clothing made for them or fitted to their years and sizes. But there Is a delightful picturesque ness about their old shawls, the shoes far too large, when exlstant at all, and frankly lacking toe or upper; about the enveloping skirts, the occasional scarecrow hat a wealth of gypsylike color and a most attractive abandon, testifying to the fact that in the opin ion of these little people fine raiment occupies but a small and unimportant place In the general scheme of the universe. And happy? Why, those sprites of the refuse heaps are as cheerful and Joyous as if they were wading through fields of wild flowers up in Westches ter county and chasing butterflies and gathering early apples Instead of scurrying up a hill of refuse and then delving below Its surface In the hop) of discovering a bit of china or silver teaspoon, an old watch chain or other trinket that can be polished and brightened and eventually sold. Religious life on Barren island Is represented by two churches, wherein services are held on Sunday. So far as could be ascertained no resident pastor has been assigned to Barren island for many years, If ever. Is cited as a fruitful field for sincere missionary effort by those organiza tions of one denomination or another which so generously provide medical missionaries, teacners, preachers, as well as schools, churches, chapels and hospital service for other islands than Barren isles of the South Pacific, for example, as well as for Eskimos of the polar region, the Inhabitants o( India, Central Africa and many others In remote parts of the world.

May I bope to claim you as such?" "Mr. Oldboy," replied the blue-eyed blonde, "I appreciate your kindness In making me this offer, but before ac cepting it I wish to say one word. As your stenographer It haB been your privilege to dictate to me, but if I be come your wife I shall reserve the right to do all the dictating myself, and" Pardon me for interrupting you," said the old man, "but further words are unnecessary. You will continue In your present position, Miss DeCllque, and I will add an extra dollar to your weekly salary, which will enable you to drown in ice cream soda any hopes that my words may have raised." An Advantage. "What are your qualifications for the position you seek?" asked the eminent official. I don't know anything about the job," replied the confident candidate. 'That doesn't constitute a qualifica tion." "Maybe not exactly. But when you get ready to proceed with reforms, It makes me easier to get on with because I haven't any prejudices to overcome." THE REASON. "I call this engagement ring 'the cat.' " "Why, so?" "Because It always comes back." A Foolish Custom. 'I'm sorry, madam," said the cash ier, "but we can't cash this, check of yours. Your account Is already over drawn. You have no money In this bank." 'But I still have one of your check books." "Certainly." "Then, why do you let me keep a check book If I can't use it? I'll never have anything to do with this mean old bank again!" Told by Streaks. "Do you know what that town was we passed through a few minutes ago?" asked the driver of the fast au tomobile as they flew through space. "No," was the reply of his compan ion; "It looked like a yellow streak to me." "You're right; it was St. Louis." "Now what's this town we're going through?" "This looks like a red streak." "Right you are! Chicago!" Seems Reasonable. "I put all the money I had on Happy Boy and the beast didn't even show!" walled Mr. Sportkins. "Is Happy Boy a horse?" queried Mrs. Sportkins. "Certainly, ma'am." "And he didn't show, you say?" "Didn't you Just hear me say It?" "Well, If the horse didn't put In an appearance, I should think you could get your money back." Two Kickers. "What do you suppose that little long-eared donkey did when I kissed him on the nose?" said the sweet young thing. "I surely don't know," replied the young man with the pink spats. "He kicked." , "Did you only kiss him once?" "Yes." "Well, I don't blame him. I'd kick, too, If you only kissed me once." A Martyr. "Your family must be very fond of oysters." , "You don't think I'm ordering oys ters by the bushel because we like them, do you? I'm the only one in the family who can eat them at all." "Then what do you want with so many?" "I don't want them. My wife wants the shells to make a roadway from the sidewalk to the garage." Revised Version. "Let me see," mused the Indianap olis maid, as she chewed the end of her pencil, "what Is that old proverb about the moss and the stone?" "A revolving fragment of the pale ozoic age collects no crytogamous vegetation," replied her cousin from doston. Good Reason. "I think Jackson has had a fight with the couple In the apartment next to his." "What makes you think so?" "He bought his boy a drum and s bugle yesterday." Fitting the Exigencies. "There's a crying need." "For what?" "For some musician to compose an opera calling for a heroine who weighs about 250 pounds." Helpful to Her. "My wife is tickled to death over these new scarf styles." "Why her extreme approbation?" "They enable her to cover up two of CAP WOULD OPEN JEWELRY STORE Household Freight-Payer Tells His Better Half of Fairy Tale Related by Grandmother. The tea things had been cleared away and the household freight-payer was trying to read the evening paper while his better half busied herself with some fancy work, and at the same time endeavored to Interest him In the neighborhood gossip. "Cordelia," said he, glancing up from his paper, "did you ever hear the story of the precious gems?" "Why, no," she replied. "What Is It?" "It's an old fairy legend that my grandmother told me when I was a boy, he continued, about a woman from whose lips there tell either a dia mond or a ruby every time she spoke a word." "Well, go on," said his wife. "That's all there Is of It, Cordelia," he replied. "But I was just thinking 11 such things happened nowadays I'd open a wholesale jewelry store the first thing in the morning." Then for thirteen consecutive sec onds silence reigned supreme. No Wonder. "Gadson tells me he never has any trouble with Mrs. Gadson when he gets home late." "Lucky fellow! How does he man age?" "He carries her a big bunch of flow ers." "Umph! I tried that once, but it didn't work." "What was the matter?" "I handed the flowers to my wife upside down and she noticed immedi ately that there was something wrong with me." Thoughtful and Kind. "I hate to think of parting with my daughter," said Mr. Scadsworth. "If there Is one trait of mine that I feel proud of, it Is my reluctance to cause other people unhapplness," re plied the suitor. "Er yes?" "And rather than separate you from your daughter, sir, we will gladly fore go our plans for a little bungalow and make our home with you." PASSING IT UP. "Mr. Hugglns, you seem to be quite a favorite with the ladles at this hotel. If I give you free room and board will you agree to flirt with all the well flowers?" "Not me. I'm no lemon squeezer." A Painful Memory. "Mrs. Naggs summoned her late hus band from the spirit world last night. Went to a spiritualllstlc medium, you know." "What did she want to talk to him about?" "She wanted to know if he still thought of her." "She might have known that he does. No man can forget a woman like MrB. Naggs In the short time Naggs has been dead." Faithful In Death. "All his life Dobbs was a booster of his home town." great "An admirable character, no doubt "And he kept it up after he died." "You're Joking." "Not at all.

"Well, my dear," answered her hus band, patiently, "I was thinking the matter over the other day, and it seemed to me there was nothing you hadn't asked me to do for you, but if there is any little thing In your mind you haven't mentioned yet, speak and I will do the best I can."

University of Oregon, Eugene. Mil itary training at the University of Oregon is under consideration in a committee of the board of regents. Requests have come from many sources that Instruction in military tactics be provided. P. L. Campbell, president of the University, suggests however that State University prepar edness work take the form not of the usual regimental drill but of technical military instruction, such as engineer ing knowledge, which is always at a premium in warfare; also in bringing the students to a maximum of physi cal fitness. - He suggests "a minimum of formal military drill of the old kind."

Bones which are reputed to be those of a mastodon, unearthed at Straford, near Wilson Creek in eastern Wash ington, are to be studied by scientists at the University of Washington.
