Eskimo Mythology.
Among the Eskimos the sun Is a
maiden and the moon Is her brother
who is overcome by a-wicked passion
for her. Once as this girl was at a
dancing party In a friend's hut some
one came up and took hold of her
shoulders and shook her , which is , ac
cording to the legend , the Eskimo man
ner of declaring one's love. She could
not tell who it was in the dark , and so
she slipped her band in some soot and
smeared one of his cheeks with it.
When a light was struck in the hut she
saw to her 'dismay that it was her
brother , and without waiting to learn
any more she took to her heels. He
started in hot pursuit. And so they
ran until they got to the end of the
world , the jumping off place , when
they both jumped into the sky. There
the moon still chases his sister , the
sun , and every now and then he turns
his sooty cheek to the earth , when he
becomes so dark that you cannot see
him.

SILK WORMS EAT LETTUCE.
Food That Scetna to Satinfr the Useful
Irittle sipinner Perfectly.
Professor C. W. Woodworth of the
State University is engaged in breed
ing silkworms which will thrive on
lettuce. It appears that the leaf of the
lettuce Is a nutritive equivalent , or
nearly so , of the leaf of the "white mul
berry , and Is a much cheaper product ,
besides being available at all seasons
of the year. The fact , however , that
the lettuce and mulberry leaf are chem
ically nearly identical does not by
any means prove that the silkworm
\vill thrive upon lettuce or that the
quality of the silk produced tvill equal
that produced on the natural food of
the worm. We do not yet know
enough about the physiology of di
gestion to say in advance what can or
what cannot be done. Neither is it
certain that the natural period of pro
ducing silk can be materially extended
or changed. It is the business of the
experiment station to find out such
things.
There is no reason to doubt that in
any case a strain of silkworm can be
produced whose digestive apparatus
shall be adapted to a lettuce diet or
that by due process of selection a
good quality of silk can finally be
produced In that "way. Where the
outlook Is so promising it is the duty
of the experiment .stations to Investi
gate. Comparatively few experiments
bring results of much economic im
portance , but some do bring siich re
sults and all contribute to the sum of
human knowledge. Whether or not
the silk industry can be made commer
cially profitable in any country so
sparsely inhabited as California is un
certain , but Professor Woodworth's ex
periments are certainly of importance
to the industry and as such are worth
making whether the people of thi. $
State derive immediate profit from
them or not. San Francisco Chronicle.

writing to you to request you to have

one wishes by pushing a button , and

PASSING OF STANLEY.
Famous African Explorer Dies at I/on
don Home. .
Sir Henry M. Stanley , the African ex
plorer , 4s dead iu London. Sir Henry
was attacked by pleurisy a few days ago
and his illness was complicated by chron
ic heart trouble. , He had been in a semi
conscious condition for two days.
Born a waif , bred in a poor house , the
career of Sir Henry Morton Stanley is
one of the most notable in history. He
at one time held the highest position that
it is possible for R newspaper man to
achieve. He led an exploration party
into the wilds of Africa and found Liv
ingstone , who up to that time was the
most noted of all African explorers.
He was born in abject poverty in 1841
and was christened John Rowlands. His
birthplace was near Denbigh , in Wales.
For ten years he lived in a work house.
Having attracted the attention of a
rich man of the name of Stanley , he was
brought to New Orleans. His patron
died suddenly without a will and the boy
was left to make his own way in the
world. He was a cabin hey on the Mis
sissippi for several years. At the out
break of the Civil War he enlisted iu
the Confederate army. He was taken
prisoner. This proved no insurmountable
obstacle to the waif of Wales , for he
enlisted in the Union navy and rose to
the rauk of ensign.
Goes Into Newspaper Work.
The war over , he took up newspaper
work. In 1807 he was marching across
the plains with Hancock and Custer and
interviewing "Wild Bill" Hickock , an ad
venturer in another field. At the close
of the same year he was on his way to
Abyssinia as a war correspondent again.
He represented the New YO& Herald in
the campaign of the British against that
country.
Next he was commissioned by the
same paper to go in search of Livings
tone , the explorer , in the heart of Af
rica. His success is recounted in the
famous volume "How I Found Liv
ingstone. " published in 1S72.
His second journey is described in
'Through the Dark Continent" (1S7S ( ) ,
for which he was presented at the Sor-
boune with the cross of a chevalier of
the Legion of Honor by the president of
the French Geographical Society. The
third time he went into Africa was in
1S79. He traveled from the mouth of
the Conijo ] ,400 miles up that river to
Stanley pool.
In 1887 he was presented with the
freedren of the city of London , just be
fore his departure for Africa the fourth
time. The story of that journey was
published in "In Darkest Africa , " aiid
universities and scientific societies gave
him all sorts of honors.
Honors Conferred on Stanley.
Stanley received the degrees of doc
tor of laws and doctor of civil laws from
the English universities.
His marriage in 1890 to Miss Doro
thy Tennant , the famous English paint
er , was a social event of world-wide in
terest. It was not until two years later
that he conceived an ambition to stand
for Parliament , but to do this he had to
become a naturalised subject of the
Queen , for it was held that he had lost
citizenship in his native country by serv
ing in the American Civil War. As he
served on both sides in the war between
the States , it is not certain whether it
was as a Confederate or a Federal he
became for a time an American.
He was defeated at the polls in 1S94 ,
but the. next year was elected. lie served
in Parliament from 1895 to 1900.
Stanley's election to Parliament was
the realization of his ambition of the
period of cakes and ale. He represented
North Lambeth. He had his eye on Par
liament ever since his marriage with
Miss Dorothy Tennant. That carried
him into the most powerful "set" in En
gland the brilliant , cynical , but most
practical group , of which Balfour is the
exemplar.
Defended British Rule.
His voice was for colonial aggression ,
for the extension of the imperial gov
ernment , for war with Russia at Cabul ,
with France on the Congo , with anybody
anywhere who disputed or intended to
dispute the sentiment that a Briton nev
er , never , never is a slave.
The rescuer of Emin Pasha , the hold
er of world's medals and honors , mar
ried in Westminster Abbey , he was cor
dially detested by most of his coumry-
men who knew him. He published a
story of Major Barttelot's in "Darkest
Africa , " and the storm broke.
What if a cannibal feast had been
ordered as a contribution to the photo
graph album of an English country
house ? What if lust and murder , pil
lage and ra ine attended the course of
this pioneer of English civilization ? De
mortuis Anglorum nil nisi honum , and
Stanley was put in the pilory not for his
own sins though he had enough of
them but for the sins of his enemies.
TO FIGHT THE MEAT TRUST.
Western Stock Raisers to Build Inde
pendent Packing Houses
The meat trust is to be the object of
several 'attacks in the West during the
next few years. The most important
is that engineered by the stock raisers ,
who propose to fight it by building inde
pendent packing houses at competitive
points.
Cattle owners are to contribute to the
capital stock on the basis of SI for
each head of stock owned by them ,
while sheep and hog men are to put up
25 cents for each piece of live mutton
or pork owned by them. The object of
this movement is to secure a better
price for the live stock and at the same
time a lower price for the consumer.
Three years ago live beef sold for
$6.50 a hundred , while dressed beef
brought S7.50. Now dressed beef is
up to $8.50 , while on the hoof cattle
bring $5.50 on an average. The stock
men say that the packers are getting too
big a slice of the profits.

to get along without It. I have
given it to all of my children at
different times when they suffered
with croup , colds and the many ail'

Pe-ru-na Protects the Entire House
hold Against Catarrhal
Diseases.
One of the greatest foes with which
every family has to .contend is our
changeable climate. To protect the
family from colds and coughs is always
a serious problem , and often impossible.
Sooner or later it is the inevitable fate
of every one to catch cold. Care in
avoiding exposure and the use of proper
clothing will protect from the frequency
and perhaps the severity of colds , hut
with the greatest of precautions they
will come. This is a settled fact of
human experience. Everybody must
expect to be caught somewhere or some
how. , .
Perhaps it will bo wet feet , or a
draught , or damp clothes , or it may be
one of a thousand other little mishaps ,
but no one is shrewd enough to always
avoid the inevitable catching cold.
There is no fact of medical science
better known'than that Peruna cures
catarrh wherever located. Thousands
of families in all parts of the United
States are protected from colds and
catarrh by Peruna. Once in the family
Peruna always stays. No home can
spare Peruna after the first trial of it.
We have on file many thousand testi-

he was entirely well. I now use it
