Tins week a great many people are busy paving the way to Hades, EunorK is asking for meat. We are willing that it should have our share. All "Arctic explorers before Stefansson always governed their operations by the amount of food taken with them, the general rule to go no further north than half their food supplies would serve for. Stefansson adopted a new plan, that of depending on the natural food supply of the Par North. Because of the loss of the ship Kar- luk, with all its stores, Stefansson and his men were forced to put bhe food theory to a more rigid test than thoy had intended. Indeed, for the greater part of five years they subsisted almost entirely on animals and fish. On their bill of fare were polar bears, seals, reindeer, tfuiak ox, and wolvea. Only one of the party oblected to wolf meat, and that on the ground that it was against the dietary laws in the Book of Deuteronomy; the others declared that the wolf meat was the best food they had. They laughed to scorn tbe idea that tbe Arctic regions are barren, and declared that, in a sense, it is easier to make a living up in the Arctic region than in a place like New York City.

When we think of Mooley and Sukey and Mrs. Jersey, it is of the fine milk and butter they will give us. But it is not this wav in Korea. Milk and butter are almost unknown in the native homes of Korea. A Korean might keep a dozen cows, but if you asked him for milk he would look at you in amazement. His cows are to carry great loads of wood or farm products to market, or to haul the big, lumbersome two-wheeled carts or the ungainly log plow. Just thiak of-it! No milk, no butter, no cheese!: Too bad, isn't it? "Yet," writes a medical missionary, "it is doubtless a wise thing for Korea, where no heed is paid to sanitary laws. Milk, being one of the most dangerous mediums for bacteria, it is no.doubt best, after ���all, that the Korean, with" no re-, gard whatever * for tha laws of health, has never learned to use it." Now the doctors are telling us that even scarlet fever is traceable to impure milk, as it contains the very germ���with a long unpronounceable name���that is present in scarlet fever. This is why, they reason, the disease Is almost unknown in sections where raw milk is little ueed, especially in the tropics. A Korean seeing butter used in a missionary home, expressed his loathing. To him it was not only a "disgustible mess,'-' but it was made from calf feed (milk). Neither does tlie Korean eat beef tb any extent. His cows are too nseful as beasts of burden to be 'slaughtered. A missionary, reaching his sta^ tion in one of the interior towns of Korea expressed a desire to purchase a milch cow for the use of his family. ; The Koreans to whom he expressed his desire were amazed, No euch thing had ever been heard of around there, tbey told him. No cow had ever had milk drawn from her udder by human hand. That was the calf'B business. What was more, no cow .wonld put up with it. Undismayed, the missionary proceeded to select a cow with a young calf. '-There's trouble coming to you," the man from whom he purchased told him. The moment the hand of the milker pressed upon the cow's udder, her hiud feet flew into the air. Her feet were then roped, and head and tail were held by the missionary's native helpers; one clinging'to each horn. Finding it inapo=sibIe to get rid of that hatefnl j hand, pulling away at her teats, by either, horn: or "hoof; : she: stood tremblingand bellowing incessantly, every,iuch.of her body.-, an put- ��� his j riged protest against ..the indignity 'Xyi. ���;.-..whieh.-'elie-was compelled.��� to.:sii.b"' :> '������"thotti^ihe :mtssion- '���X'^x. xxxx X' xXxs6xi��yentbe miviiiXxyxX, ^'���K-'^'Hiwer ing coaxing^f a,vsoon bad bi?

"I'll tell you," said the Yankee, "about a hen my mother had. She went out one day and ate a feed of corn and returned and laid twelve eggs. She went out fehe next day and ate a feed of corn, and laid 12 more eggs. She went oufe the third day and returned and laid twelve more eggs. She went out tha fourth day and hatched seventy-two chicks out of the thirty-six egge. Now thafe is the kind of hens we have in the States." "Well," said Pat. ' 'I'll tell you about a half-blind hen my mother had. She ate a feed of sawdust, thinking it was oatmeal'; she went to her nest and laid a plank 12 feet long, Again on tbe second day she ate more sawdust, and laid another plank twelve feet long On the third day she ate more sawdust, and laid another twelve foot plank. She sat on the three planks and hatched three kitchen chairs, a sofa, one table, a mahogany chest of drawers.
