LOST FAITH IN WHITE MAN
Eskimo Tested Efficacy of Telephone
Scheme, and Realized He Had
Deen Deceived.
An Interesting Btory Is told regard
lnp the- efforta of an Eskimo to con
struct a telephones lino. Too Eskimo
came Into possession of a plccoof wlro
of considerable length and never hav
ing seen wlro holoro ho asked Profes
sor McMillan of tho Poary north pole
expedition what it was and what It
was for. He was told that tho white
man strung It on poles stuck In tho
ground and a voice talking to an In
strument at ono end could bo heard at
tho other end. After some search tho
next morning tho Eskimo was found
to bo engaged In telophono construc
tion work of his own. Ho stuck Borao
rtlcko In tho ground and hung his
wlro on them. Ho held ono end of
tho wlro to his mouth and talked to
It at the top of his volco. Then he
ran as fast as ho could to tho other
end and hold tho wire to his ear with
tho expectation of hearing bis own
words repeated.
When he failed to hear any sounds
the expression on his fnco revealed
his opinion of his whlto friend.
To tho Childish Mind.
Dorothy Ullman of E. Eighty-fourth
street, Is a vory literal young person.
To her mother's definition of tho All
Seeing Eyo sho roturned a question
as to tho bIzo of tho eyo.
"Can God seo everything?" she con
tinued. "Yes, dear. Ho can seo everything,
at all times."
That afternoon Dorothy escorted her
mother down town. Before an op
tician's display sho stopped. Then,
"Mother," sho asked, pointing to tho
elg winking oyo in tho window: "Is
Bod's eyo as big as this?" Cleveland,
Leader.
Difficult to Answer.
Explaining tho happenings of tho
jlxth day of tho creation, Miss Fran
ces Hartz read to her Sabbath school
class: "And tho Lord God formed man
out of the dust of tho ground."
"Well," spoke up ono kid, "that's
nothln' new. Did ho put him In tho
Bun to dry, tho way wo do our mud
pies?"
Miss Hartz discreetly slurred tho
answer and proceeded with her les
son. Cleveland Leader.
PEED YOUNG GIRLS
Must Have Right Food While Growing.
Great coro should bo taken at tho
critical poriod when tho young girl Is
Just merging Into womanhood that tho
diet shall contain that which is up
building and nothing harmful.
At that ago tho atructuro is being
formed and if formed of a healthy,
sturdy character, health and happiness
will follow; on tho othor hand un
healthy colls may bo built In and a
sick condition slowly superveno which,
If not checked, may ripen into a
chronlo condition and cause life-long
suffering.
A young lady Bays:
"Coffeo began to have such an effect
on my stomach a few years ago thit I
finally quit using it. It brought on
headaches, pains In my muscles, and
nervousness.
'I tried to uso tea In its stoad, but
found its effects oven worse than thoso
I suffered from coffeo. Then 'for a long
time I drank milk at my meals, but at
last it palled on me. A friend came to
tho rescuo with the- suggestion that I
try Postura.
"I did bo, only to find at first, that I
didn't fancy It, Dut I had heard of so
many persons who had been benefited
by Its ueo that I persevered, and when
I had it mado right according to dl
rectlone on tho package I found It
grateful In flavour and soothing and
strengthening to my stomach. I can
flnd no words to express my feeling
of what I owe to Postuml
"In every respect it has workod a
wonderful Improvement the head
aches, nervousness, tho pains in my
'Bido and (back, all tho distressing
symptoms yielded to tho magic power
of Possum. My brain seems also to
share in tho bottormont of ray phys
ical condition; it seems keener, raoro
alert and brighter. I am, in Bhort, In
better health now than for a long
whllo before, and I am suro I owo it
to tho uso of your Postum." Name

PIG ENJOYS ITS RIDE
Dressed as Baby Is Taken From
Newark to New York.
Owner Carries Little Porker In Her
Arms and Successfully Deceives
Conductors Stifled Squeal
Betrays Secret.
Now York. If it hadn't been for a
stifled squeal nnd a very plgllko wrlg
glo tho taxlcab driver would novor
have known that ono of his fares
wasn't human. In fact, the chauffeur
rubbed his oyes several times before
it llnally dawned on him that Mrs.
Mario Watson's traveling companion
was a pig Instead of a baby.
Tho chauffeur wasn't to blarao for
being deceived, for several conductors
had mado tho samo mistake. They
don't know oven now that the bundlo
MrB. Watson carried bo tenderly In
her arms was not a baby at all, in
Bplto of its baby cap and fluffy little
coat and the milk bottlo which Mrs.
Watson produced every now and then
on her ride from Newark.
Mrs. Watson, as almost every vaude
ville performer knows, is tho wife of
Sam Wntson, who has a barnyard cir
cus. Ono of tho star performers was
a wee pig, but it got so fat that Mrs.
Watson decided that another pig
would havo to Join tho show, ono that
Bho could hold In her arms without
straining her muscles.
After some correspondence sho
found what sho wanted In tho pig lino
on a farm Just outside of Newark.
The pig's owner agreed to sell freo
on board at Newark, but not Manhat
tan. Mrs. Watson nnd her husband wont
into conference to decide how to get
tho pig here.
"Leave it to me," said Mrs. Wntson.
"I'll Just bring tho pig over on tho
train."
Her husband suggested that pigs
were not allowed on passenger trains.
But Mrs. Watson knew what sho was
talking about.
"Leave It to me," she repeated, and
Mr. Wntson did so.
Mrs. Watson mado tho trip to New
ark tho other day and mot tho farm
er and his pig. Mrs. Wntson whis
pered a few words of pig langungo in
tho little fellow's ear and proceeded
to dresB him up In baby attire, The
cap was a cute affair of muslin nnd
baby chiffon, with a near-blue ribbon
at tho tip. Tho baby coat was also
blue, as was a blanket which Mrs.
Wntson had provided. When tho
dressing was finished tho farmer de
parted chuckling over tho transforma
tion. With tho pig in her arms Mrs.
Watson proceeded to tho Newark sta
tion of tho Pennsylvania railroad and
boarded a train for Jersey City. Tho
pig wasn't making n sound. Perhaps
It was because of thoso fow whispered
words or pig language of which Mrs.
Watson says she has a smattering.
Perhaps it was n bottlo of milk which
tho pig tippled now and then. Anyhow
no one on tho train Imagined that It
was anything olso than n very quiet
and well-behaved baby that Mrs. Wat
son .was carrying in her nrms.
At JorBey City Mrs. Watson nnd her
chargo proceeded to tho Hudson Tun
nel station. Whllo waiting for a tun
nel train an elderly man suggested to
Mrs. Watson that sho had bettor Btand
well back from tho edge of tho plat
form. "You know these drafts aro very
bad for babies," Bald tho elderly gen
tleman. Mrs. Watson smiled and
thanked tho solicitous old man. Nevor
onco during the trip to Manhattan did
tho pig betray himself.
At Thirty-third street Mrs. Wntson
hailed n taxlcab, and In this tho Inst
lap of tho Journey was mado. At tho
theater Mrs, Watson alighted and
fOrro aiu TWo -ia? JPsisj&rfOJSJQj
paid her fnro. Tho movement of get
ting Into her purse muBt havo dis
turbed tho pig, for thero was a sudden
squeal and n vory vigorous wrlgglo.
Tho baby cap slipped back, displaying
a very plgllko face. It was then that
the chauffeur began rubbing his oyes
and pinching himself.
In n fow days tho little pig will
take tho place of tho elderly porker in
tho barnyard sceno. Ho is now un
dertaking tho necessary preliminary
training. .
CARING FOR "ONLY" CHILD
Vienna Professor Finds Only Thirteen
Out of Ono Hundred Are
Fully Normal.
Vienna. After n study of tho prob
lem of tho "only child" extending over
several years, Prof. J. Frlodjung of tho
Society of Internal Medicine nnd Pedi
ntrics has mado public tho result of
his observations. Ho had under ex
amination 100 "only" children, of
whom 445 wero boys and B5 girls.
They range in ago from two to ton
yenrs.
Each had boon raised in n family
whoro thero wero no othor children,
nnd therefore had been subjected to
tho kind of domestic isolation that ac
companies thoso conditions.
Of tho 100 children 18 wore sovoroly
neuropathic nnd C9 manifested leso
marked symptoms of nervous instabil
ity. Only 13 of tho youngsters, accord
ing to Dr. Fricdjung, wore fully nor
mal. Ho sot off theso observations
against nnother set of studies made
among families consisting of sevornl
offspring. Of those only 31 showed
neuropathic BymptoniB.
Fear was tho strongest symptom In
75 of tho 87 neuropathic "only chil

and his cholco of an airship. Count

aeronaut, had tho samo purposo a
few years ago, but gavp It up because
airships had not sufficient protection

confidently expects to make tho trip
ho has laid out about 950 miles In
34 hours. His acrlnl vessel's engineH
will give tho craft a speed of 18
miles an hour; besides, Doctor
Slegert Is counting on 12 miles an
hour more by tho wln.l.
To tho unimaginative the Sahara Is
only nn Illimitable, and wnsto, hut
from It havo come legends of burled
cities of Incalculable nntiqulty and
talos of Immense hidden hordes,
Doctor Slcgort wishes to clear up tho
mystery surrounding tho oxpcdltion of
Browne, tho English explorer of n

tho romnntio story of Rholfs, who
found traces of a great road running
out In tho desert until tho sand ob
literated them. What lies beyond
thnt lost track? Whither did that
great highway lead, nnd)f what char
acter woro tho peoplo who construct
ed It?
Theso questions, which have been
put so often, nro supposed to have in

romance, "King Solomon's Mines;" at

Unusunl mental ability and way
wardness, tho professor reports, seem
to go hnnd in hand In tho caso of chil
dren, Of tho neurasthenics, 32 showed
malnutrition to a romnrkablo degreo.
The "only" child, says Fricdjung,
gets Its morbid manifestations from
tho excess of tendor caro lavished up
on it. Its pnrcnts spoil it, they take
nway Its sentiments of self-reliance
and in this way thoy unconsciously
encourago tho child novcr to develop
unduly. A certain amount of knock
ing about and hardships and necessity
for self-relinnco is Imperatively de
manded, this Investigator says, othor
wlso a child will grow into n namby
pamby, n nervous molly-coddlo.
On this account, as well as becauso
of tho mcnaco to tho race through tho
limitation of population to "only"
chlldron, Fricdjung urges thnt every
family should possess sovoral chlldron.
