BIG DUST CLOUD IN ALASKA Volcanic Ashes From Katmai Delayed Progress of Steamer—Explosion Heard Afar. As we approach Kodiak, strange dark clouds were seen obscuritjg the horizon at several points and one so heavy and black that it resembled smoke from a great forest tiro. Captain Jensen startled us by explaining that this was dust blown by the stiff breeze from the lofty hills all about us> These hills seemed covered with snow, but the whitish deposits proved to bo ashes, rained down several feet deep upon all this section during the eruption of Mount Katmai in June, 1912. Katmai is still smoking. The sun looked like a dull silver dollar as it shone through the ashy mist. The dust cloud was so thick that it held our steamer up for four hours until the way was clear. Passing your hand over the rail of the boat you found your fingers streaked with the impalpable gray powder. When we landed at Kodiak we found piles of soft pray ashes and largo and small pieces of light, friable stone, like pumice stone, which had been thrown out by the volcano. United States Marshal F. R. Brennerman of Valdez, who was a fellow passenger with me, says the explosion of the volcano was heard at that place, 400 miles away from Kodiak, and sounded like a cannonading. It was followed by a deposit of fine ashes in Valdez. —John A. Sleicher in Leslie’s Weekly. • Activities of Women. Women are prohibited from preach ihg in Norway. All the German nuns are being driv en out of England. New England shoe manufacturers make a special shoe for New York women, embracing the last word it style. Women barbers have replaced near ly all the men “wielders of the razor’ in warring countries of Europe. Mrs. O. H. P. Belmont was one ol the first women to enlist in the work of getting votes for women in this country. Mrs. William J. Bleese has been ad mitted to the bar in St. Louis and will practice law as her husband's partner Under the terms of the new Penn sylvania labor law the state will br divided into districts, each having s superintendent and a council of sis persons, of which one member of eact council must be a woman. BUILT T 0 WITHSTAND SHOCK Architecture of Oid Peruvian Citj Adapted to the Needs of the Locality. The most characteristic phase of Peruvian architecture is found to bf in the old city of Aroquipa, whicl more than any other west coast citj should be regarded as a home of culture in general, and therefore special ly a center from which control anc direction of the fine arts has pro ceedcd. The Peruvian “Tarrytown,” we maj call it, since the name Arequipa sig nifies in the Indian tongue “Yes; rest here.” But orderly processes of ar chltectural development were rendered impossible in Arequipa, even more infeasible there than in other populous cities, mountain-built or on the Andear littoral. Repeated and very violent earth quake shocks forbade such edifices as would have been stable enough in other lands to “rest here,” or in security anywhere near the geosvncUna’ that follows the Andean coast line. The cathedral at Arequipa, formerly more imposing than it is at present, is built of volcanic stone “in a sty,l« adopted,” as a famous traveler writes “after the earthquake of 1821, which laid most of the city in ruins, as » security against similar catastrophes.’ Better than any other large building it represents the earthquake phase It is an expedient complying with while bravely protesting against, imperative demands of the plutonic forces; not towered and domed, like the cathedral and the Compania at Cuzco, but capped with spires in the fashion of the church of San Pedro iu Lima. Had to Watch the Game. Milroy, a Rush county town, seven miles south of Rushville, is a great place fcr marble fans. They hold a tournament each spring nnd summer. One day recently a storekeeper, who is a marble fan, was standing in an alley by his store watching a closely contested game. An Indianapolis traveling salesman, who had come to see the storekeeper, saw a person enter the man’s store. He went to the storekeeper. “There’s a customer in your store," he said. “Pst, be quiet,” said the rtoi ekeeper, "he’ll go out in a minute.” And he never took his eye off the game.— Indianapolis News. Best Sleeper in the World. John H. Walker, a Phoenlz, Adz., man, guest at Summer house, Tulare, Cal., is adjudged the prize sleeper. In some manner Walker’s bed in his room was set afire, and Walker only awakened after he bad been dragged from the burning clothes and carried to the open air by a hotel employee. Walker was only slightly hurt.—San Francisco Chronicle. Easy to Take. Voice —is this the wen her bureau * How about a sho" r loir .--Lt? Prophet—Don >. me. it you need one. take it.

JAFS KNOW NO PROFANITY Their Language Contains No “Swearwords,” Unfortunately So Common in the West. Tho Jap is always polite, but once in a while ho slips from grace—and when he does he is up against It, for there are no swearwords in the Japanese language, says a writer in Leslie s Weekly. When a Japanese meets you he bows three times and takes off his hat, but does not shake hands. When he greets you his first concern is about your ancestors and next about your stomach. It would be almost an open insult for one Japanese to meet another without asking him how his stomach fared. On tho third bow he asks: “This morning, how is it with your honorable inside?” As you come up on your third bow you answer to the effect that the place mentioned is doing as well as could be expected and in turn ask him what news hehas from the front. Then he lifts his hat again and says: "Your delightful head this morning, I hope it have no commotion.” When you tell him that you are pleased to report that it feels well this morning he asks about a few generations of honorable ancestors and then you are free to take up the weather. Even though they are elaborately polite, once in a while one Japanese will get mad at another. Their anger kindles slowly at first, finally fanning to a blaze that knows no staying. But even though there is a torrent of emotion seething in bis soul there are no words to give it vent; it keeps surging harder and harder until it throws aside all restraint end gives up all idea of decency by putting into one phrase all his bitterness and snapping squarely into tho other man’s astonished face tho worst thing that can be said in the whole language: "Your stomach is not on straight!” This is the final insult; nothing more can be added —he has cast tho glove. There is nothing left for him to do but to give his enemy a cutting look, turn on his heel and haughtily clap-clap away on his wooden shoes. Codfish Market Swamped. A big inrush of codfish along the northern and eastern coasts during the latter part of June caused a salt famine in the Ancient Colony. The salt used by the Newfoundland fisherfolk for cii'ing. their catch is obtained from Trapani in Sicily and Cadiz in Spain. ;«ctically all the salt in the island has been absorbed, and it is claimed that about 15,000 tons more could bo advantageously used if it were available. At least this quantity, and probably more, has been ord‘ red, and should arrive during the next month, bet much of it will come to hand too late to boos any real service. This shortage of salt is likely to affect the banking licet also, which has had exceptional good fortune in its earlier voyages this year. The average price of cod paid last year and the year before, both in Newfoundland and Nova Scotia, was about J 6.50 per quintal, but with foreign markets us they are at present it is hoped that at least another twentyfive cents per quintal may be ob tained. The fact that fish of late are so plentiful is inducing industry, and also stimulating smaller operators to prosecute the shore fishery more extensively. Holland's Water Trenches. The war department of the Netherlands has developed a new sort of trench for use in the low and marshy parts of the country where, in case of invasion, the chief battles might bo expected. Fighting along the Yser has taught the strength of a water ('.Tense above all others. For this purpose, as is well known, the so-called "waterline” lias been brought into readiness. Hut a great deal of lighting might take place upon the endless tracts of meadows which lie all around the capital of tho kingdom. The tronchcs which will here be constructed will be arranged in such a way that at a moment’s notice they can bo turned into flooded ditches. Tn tho warfare in Franco and Rus sia a conquered trench means an added strength for the enemies, who immediately turn tho trench into a fortress of their own, The Dutch trendies, when it is necessary to abandon them, will almost automatically become a deep flooded ditch, which will be no use to anyone and will merely form another obstacle on tho way forward. If Civilians Learn to Shoot. Civilian riilo chibs are lately receiving much attention. They have developed a number of men who arc excellent shots with 22<:aliber rifles, indoors, at a distance of 50 to 75 feet. Comparatively , few, however, are able to handle the modern high-pow-ered 30-caliber United States magazine rille and nit a target 1,000 yards away. Moreover, even were all our men good shots, it must be remembered that shooting is merely one of the important parts ot a soldier's training and that it is a very small part. The soldier who can do nothing but snoot Jias about the same relative value as a polo player who can sit on a tones and wield a mallet skill , fully, but. who cant rido a horse. — Capt. Ricnsrd Stockton, Jr., in Col I rier s W< el ly. Creating Doubt. If the archeologists don't stop dig ging around in the ruins in Asia wo shall soon bo as uncertain about wnat really happened six or seven thousand yearo ago as we are aoout the situation on the. hunting line in France.

DR. BURNHAM’S SAN-YAK Acts as a Living Antiseptic in the Stomach and intestines. San-Yak prevents self poisoning, that serious illness from which so many persons of sedentary habits and advanced age suffer. San-Yak prevents clogging ot the colon and caecum; hence its great value in destroying germs from undigested animal food which are a factor in the true cause of poisonous decompositions of the bowels, causing appendicitis, rheumatism, typhoid, dysentery and arterio sclerosis or hardened arteries. Heart trouble is developed through self poisoning from the kidneys and bowels. To maintain health all such poisoning must be checked, and yoti can do so with the use of SanYak. Take San-Yak; it is the greatest medicine yet known for man, woman or child. SI.OO per bottle. Sold by Smith, Yager & Falk drug store, Decatur, Ind. i o Democrat Want Ads Pay.
