'here the Rev. Father will sail on
one of the Admiral boats for Kodiak,
'where lie will translate the records of
the Russian church at that place,
which date back to 1795. Father
Kashevaroff was one of the members
of the board which transcribed the
records of the old Russian church at
• Sitka, dating back to 1816, and his
i knowledge of the language enabled
the Territory to stjve many interest
ing and valuable statistics for pos
terity. As fast as these records are
compiled they are forwarded to the
joffice of the Secretary at Juneau,
which arranges them in order for fu
ture reference.
Father Kashevaroff is well-known

'residing here for some time several
:years ago. Itev. George John /inn is

AVOID HOT ROOMS.
Your Health Will Ba Bettor and Your
Work More Effective.
The right temperature for the office,
living room < r workroom, that degree
of heat that will keep one comfortable,
healthful and at the same time will en
able iiiui to do tiie greatest amount of
work with the greatest ease is dis
cussed in a bulletin from the North
Carolina state heath of health. It says:
"Seventy degrees of heat, which most
pen'le think th y tire keeping when in
reality the thermometer reads any
where/ruin to 7S. is for ail practical
purposes too hot. It is enervating and
uuhcalihful. it predisposes to fatigue,
colds, grippe and especially to pneu
monia. for lite reason that too much
heat lowers ! tidily resistance.
"Careful study and ail experimenta
tions demonstrate tint a moderately
cool, dry air in motion is tint best air
condition for tiie body. At no time is a
temperature higher than tis degrees
recommended, while a much lower
temperature is ncv.led to work in. in
no country in Europe is the indoor
temperature allowed to go over fib de
grees. while lhe usual house tempera
ture over there is 00. Huntington
states that men do their best mental
work when the air temperature is ISO
and their best physical work when it is
about -10. The best all round tempera
ture for work is 50. he says.
"Observations have further shown
that the minimum amount of work
during tlrt* year is done during tiie hot
summer mouths and tiie middle winter
months—January and February—when
indoor heat is highest. Students at
West I’oint and Annapolis do their
best mental work, mathematics in par
ticular. in the spring and fall and their
worst work in midwinter and midsum
mer. Excessive heat anil lack of cool,
fresh air Hie thought to mukh tiie dif
ference.’’
WILL HOLD FEAST OF DEATH.
For Mother of Gypsy Queen Mary, Who
Died In Michigan.
There'll lie a big sauerkraut feast
this spring at that place in the United
States where a certain baud of Rou
manian gypsies ballpens to be. Stella
Stankovitch. 101 years old, mother of
Queen Mary, died the other day in a
tent pitched on the plains of Michigan.
Queen Marv has decreed the feast of.
death.
Winter winds shake the canvas tents
of the little colony the gypsies set up
outside of Ford City. Barelegged chil
dren huddle about open tires and gaze
in fear at the empty elotli shelter Ju
which the (piccn mother died. Its I!;:;,
slaps hack and fortli witli the blow of
the wind.
“I’m sick." Queen Mary said, when a
visitor called on tier. “I've got the
grip.”
Site threw a few chunks of wood into
a smoking, battered stove. Behind her
stood a young woman smokiti^a pipe,
and it barefooted girl of seven. On a
bed. beneath ragged coverings, lay all
ot tier vhild, feverishly ill.
"We will have a feast in memory ol'
Queen Stella between Easter and May.”
the i|ueen went on. “We'll have roast
iamb and roast pig. We'll have cab
bage and sauerkraut and fruits. We'll
put it big table outdoors, and the feast
will lie free. Everybody will be wel
come to come and eat of tbe feast of
death."
And her Muck, beady eyes glowed tn
anticipation.—Kansas City Star.
Fatal Street Music.
To street musicians was due the un
timely death of one of England's fore
most humorists. .John Leech. The
strain of ceaseless application to his
work rendered Leech abnormally sen
sitive to street noises of ail descrip
tions. and street music in particular
drove him frantic. The organ grinders,
it is said, knew of his enmity toward
them and played within earshot of his
studio simply to plague him. in a let
ter to Mr. Bass. M. I*., who was fram
ing a hill for the suppression of street
noises. Mark Lemon, the editor of
Punch, declared that beyond a doubt
Leech's ultimately fatal malady, angi
na pectoris, or breast pang, was due
to t lie disturbance of bis nervous sys
tem. caused by the continual visits of
street bunds and organ grinders.—Lon
duu Opinion.
What Comes Next?
“What's a dreadnaught. father?”
“A dreadnaught. my son. is a battle
ship so large and heavily armed that it
does hot fear anything.”
"Then what is a stiperdreadnaught?" ■
“A stiperdreadnaught is still bigger
and more heavily armed. They were
designed especially to give the dread
naughts something to be afraid of."
Philadelphia Ledger.
