Perhaps the strangest door knocker 'In the world may be seen in the pagan Indian Tillage at Delia Cools, about halfway up the coast of British Co lumbia, an exchange says. It consists of a wooden carving rep resenting a nan. The arms are mov able and between the hands Is held a knocker, apparently so formed as to represent the stone hammer the Bella Coolas used generations ago. Across the knees Is a board, like part of the wooden drum these Indians formerly used much more extensively than to day. When the arms are raised the hammerlike knocker may be dropped so as to make a terrific knocking on the beard. This figure. Instead of being fast ened on tbe door of the house, stands above It, but the doorway U low and the kaocker Is easily reached. These Indians are fend of tobacco, but sel dom smoke cigars, and the owner of the knocker handled his cigar as clumsily as he wore the ready-made white man's clothing, whleh U also new to him and his people. Above the door Is an Interesting Inscription, the pride of his family. This has been put up In honor of one cf his ancestors and It reads; "in memory of Chief Clelaaen. who died July. ISM, aged 58 years. He was honest A well disposed respect ed by both whites and Indians. In December, , he gave away with the help of his sons, Alexander A Johnny, property in blankets,, canoes, etc, raised at ti.Ui. this being his eighth targe potlatch t feast that he had heid." Thls sign is painted and was appar eatly made by a white man, but the wording and the arrangement of the line show that the work: was dane to order. The reference to the giving away of bUnkets and canoes is characteris tic of these people. By so doing they gained net only an aristocratic posi tion in the tribe, hut also credit, for the property was always returned with interest and feasting In due course of time. At first this latter fact was net un derstood by the missionaries and In Indian agents, who supposed that the potlatch was a boastful wasting of property. They caused a law to be raised in British Columbia making It a criminal offense to give a potlatch, and many Indians have been Impris oned for disobeying the law by con tinuing their forefathers' methods of financial Investment, but nowadays the law is no longer enforced. Sometimes property was given away for the benefit of sons and daughters, When they became a certain age they had In consequence an aristocratic po stilion and credit of which they were as proud as are the sons of families of social position in New York or else vfeere. This class of potlatch may be likened to endowment Insurance. Qetaalonally property w five away where no return was expeotcu. It was then mostly food, nnd with a few dresses, bracelets and similar ar ticles. Just as white swells give dinners with favors, souvenirs and birthday or wedding presents. Such giving away tho Indians of (ho whole coast call n cultus potlatch, cuttus meaning use less and Indicating that no Investment has been mado or return expected, lotlntchcs of ono kind or tho other, according (o tho pioprlctlos ot tho occasion, are given at christening, weddings or when neighboring trlboi are brought together. A DEFENSE OP WORRY. Nitnitjr Advance Slurb, It la Ar Kuril, Who la ,Mtn) TrNittiutl. Tho turtle nov'er worries. Ho lives, It la said, In some parts ot tho earth foj 1,000 years, or very nearly that loug, and maybe longer. In tact, no body cares very much Just how long n turtle docs live. Living 1,000 years may be a good thing for tho turtle. His only discovered purpose Is to con tinue to exist. But animals that worry live more In a mlnuto than tho turtle does In his 1,000 years. We hear a lot these days about "Don't worry clubs," and It Is an ex tensive tad to hang up "don't worry atottoe. All roll says tho Memphis Nows-Sclmltar. Worry kills they say. If It does, It U simply because It stimulates tho qualities which are life, aud In the de gree that there Is stimulation there Is wearing out, which Is death. But what man would want to live the llto ot a turtloT It there bo any, he has nothing In him that anybody can respect; there Is nothing In him that ho can respect himself. Ho could tolerate anything. Toleration would be his virtue. You could spit on him and he would smile back. You could kick him and he would draw moro closely within him self and say nothing. All he wants Is to bo let live. This turtle on two legs Is ot no more use than one on four. And his shell ot complacency Is as hard and shuts him tn as closely from the nerve-throbblm; world as does the shell ot tho turtle. The successful .man has to worry, and he does. Worry Is one ot the best forms ot expression ot mental activity. It la the reflection ot dissatisfaction with one's shortcomings or condition. It Is the first Incentive to Improve ment. It Is the first step toward re solve and effort. Worrying over trifles Is foolish. Worrying other people with our wor ries ts pernicious. You can make lite miserable for yourself with the one and for everybody who knows you with the other. But don't bs a turtle! The man who never worries Is noth ing but an existence, unsatisfactory to himself and disgusting to others. The mother who never worries has had, the chances are, ten or twelve children born to her and has complacently put eight or ten ot theoi tn their graves. The graves will probably be nicely kept, but the children underground cannot appreciate that Dont worry over worry. You neeJ It. A little ot It. LIGHTS IN STREET CARS. Katilanatloa nt War Taer Ar Home. llatpa lltn, tr aa Kar-ert. Who has not noticed when riding on the street cars at night that some times the lamps which light the cars burn very dim for a minute and then seem to burn very bright? Sometimes they almost go entirely out: then sud denly cease oa again. Te the ordinary traveler all this is very mystifying, but to the electrical engineer It Is simplicity itself, the Etectrk News says. It a small hole were drilled In a water pipe Just above a faueef. the water, under pressure, would rush out at terrific speed, but If you should open the faucet the pressure would lm medlstely drop down so low that the water would all hut cease to flow out ot the tiny hole. This Is exactly what happens to the Incandescent lamp In a street car when they suddenly grow dim. only It is electricity we are deal ing with, instead ot water. To start a loaded street car requires an enor mous amount ot electricity, tho mo tars fairly eating np the current in order to get the necessary starting power or torque, as It Is called. Using such a quantity of electricity relieves the pressure, or voltage, ot the system. and of course the lights burn dim until the car Is under way. Nearly all street car systems operate at 54 velta pressure. The lamps In the car consume current at 110 volts pressure, and they are connected In groups of five in series across the SW-volt circuit. When the voltage fer these lamps drops below llu because ot the large amount of current going ta the motors under the car not enough electricity Is being farced through the lamp filament to heat It to Incandescence, and ot course the light ts dim. Opening wide the cur rent conductors to the motors sudden ly lowers the line pressure, whleh In turn reduces the pressure to the lamps. Once the car Is under way the motors do cot require so much current and the pressure returns to the lamps and they continue to give thtlr rated can dle power until the next time the car is started.
