"hen a girl has reached her lltii
°fj12th >Car She is cons>dered quite
old enough to enter into the bonds
o matrimony. She is taken to the
bank of the nearest river and an i
offering to the particular deities !
that she and her tribe worship is
made with all due solemnity besides
the stream. The dusky maid is
then publicly washed in the river;
a bracelet of black and white beads
and gold is placed around her wrist,
or if her family are not rich enough
to provide beads of gold her wrist
is simply marked with white lines
She is then dressed in the best of
the family wardrobe and is escort
ed m a procession through the town, !
to show all beholders of her beauty
„that she has reached the marrying j
age. Her hair is fantastically plait
ed, the upper parts of her bcriv are
quite bare, and she is perfumed
with scents.
AT this done, if she is lucky a
number of eligible young bachelors
come forward and make offers for
her hand and heart, and the match
ns arranged on a strictly cash basis
The preliminaries concluded, the
marriage takes place- The bride
groom gives a feast, to which he
and his family and the bride and
her family all come. On the day
a ter the feast the brideroom shows
his appreciation of his wife by
powdered her head and shoulders

HOW “PECK’S BAD BOY” BEGAN
An interesting sidelight on the
late Gov- Peck’s character is dis
closed by a passage in a letter once
written to the Detroit News in reply
to a request that he forward mater
ial for his life story. Mi. Peck
wrote:
“What do you want stuff about
me for, anyway? I am a Democrat
and may never die so you can use
stuff about me- Some of us have
agreed not to die until the Democrats
elect a president. So we may keep
on living till the millenium—who
knows?”
Mr. Peck was famous in Wisconsin
for his red carnation, as he invari
ably wore such a blossom.
In explaining how he came to
write “Peck’s Bad Boy,” Mr Peck a
few years ago said:
“How did I come to think of the
bad boy ? Well, my son came in one
day and told me a story about a
boy who wrote a note to his father
; in a fine hand, signed ‘Daisy,’ invit
ing the father to meet her at the
corner of the bank. Well, it worked,
and the old man put on all the best
clothes and stood on the bank corner,
while that confounded boy kept
coming past and asking his father
what he was waiting for- Finally
the old man gave the boy a dollar to
go to the theater with and get rid of
him- That struck me as funny, and
I wrote it up. It went into every
paper in the United States, and I
thought if they wanted stuff like
that I would give them more of it
It added 80.000 subscribers to my
weekly paper.”
PRESERVING EGGS
IN WATER GLASS
Federal and state departments of
agriculture, after an extensive ser
ies of experiments, have endorsed
the water-glass method of preserving
eggs. When the medium is just
right, it is said that excellent re
sults can be obtained in this way.
Waterglass, which is a mixture
of potassium silicate and sodium
silicate, is sold in both liquid and
powdered form, and operates by
closing the pores of the shell and
thus protecting the contents from
evaporation and outside contamina
tion. Eggs preserved in this way
are said to have been mistaken for
new-laid ones at the end of six
months, while far beyond that period
they are still good enough to be
poached
• “The time to preserve eggs is
from the latter part of March to
about the middle of May,” says a \
poultry' expert; “the hens are not
only laying most abundantly at that
season, but the eggs are at their
best, while the cool weather makes
it easier for the farmer to keep them
in good condition.
“If there is any doubt about the
freshness of the eggs intended for I
preserving, they should be candled
All the outfit needed for the pur
pose is a pasteboard box with a
hole in it, and a lamp or electric
bulb inside. If the yolk can be seen
as a yellowish golden glow, not very
dearly defined, and if the air space
at the top appears as a small, clear
spot, about the size of a dime, the
egg is fresh- The larger the air
cel] at the top, the staler the egg.
“At first the housewife may not j
be able to make these fine distinct
ions, but after examining a few eggs
before the candle, and then breaking
them to test the accuracy of her ob
servations, she will find herself be
coming reasonably expert. To see
if the eggs are fresh, tap them to
gether two by two. If the shell is
intact it will give out a clear, ring
ing sound- If it is not, the sound
will be deadened.
“Tie eggs must be perfectly clean,
as well as fresh, and they must not
be washed, as that removes the nat
ural protective coating.”
Somehow, when a man begins tell
ing a woman that he loves her for
brilliant mind and beautiful charact
er, she always feels impelled to rush j
to the telephone and make an- ap :
pointment w'ith the hairdresser. i
* « »
* * *
A man is always so surprised
when a woman tells him he is fas
cinating, probably because he
thought she just naturally took that
for granted.
* * *
It is almost as difficult nowadays
to make a married man stop talking
sentimental nonsense as it is to make
a bachelor begin.

MOUNT KATMAI AGAIN
REPORTED ACTIVE
A new arrival says that just be
fore he left Seward a few days ago,
a report was brought in by Captain
Nordyke of Seldovia, that Mount
Katmai, on Shelikoff straits, whose
eruption of 1912 covered Kodiak
island with volcanic ash from two
to ten feet deep, is again intermit
tently active. White ashes from
the volcano having recently fallen
at Jtlyak
It is said that Mount Illiamna is
also sending out black smoke, and
that recently the snow on the side
of the mountain was covered with
yellow ash.

I WORLD ANNUALLY EN
CIRCLED WITH CRADLES
Thirty-six million babies are boro
into the world each "year, about
seventy a minute- or more than one
every second, says a statistician
Place each baby in a cradle ranged
in a line and the cradles would cir
cle the globe- Let the babies be
carried in their mothers’ arms past
a given point, the procession being
kept up night and day, and at the
end of a year only about one-sixth
of the infantile host would have
gone by, and this although they
passed at the rate of 12 a minute.
The babe that had to be carried
when the tramp began, would be
able to walk when a mere fraction
of its comrades had reached the re
viewer’s post; and when the year’s
supply of babies was drawing to a
close there would be a rear guard,
not of infants, but of romping 6
year-old boys and girls
