YOURS TRUL1
PARADISE FOR THE INDOLENT
Strew of Modern Life Unknown
Among the Inhabitants of the
Marquesas Islands.
Persons possessing $1,000 who like
the indolent life of the tropics where
winter Is unknown can spend the remainder
of their lives in the Marquesas
islands in the Pacific ocean, where
they need only work two hours a day
to catch fish and pick bnnanas and
spend the remainder of the day watching
the skyblue sea wash lnxilj ever
the golden sands.
The money would be required to pay
i second-class passnge from one of the
Pacific coast ports, with outfit, and the
oalance to purchase fertile lund at $2
an acre.
The Marquesas are situated In 8 to 11
south Intitude and 140 west longitude
and are of volcanic origin and mountainous.
Tliey are under the French republic
and the commissioner lives at
Taiohal, the chief town, which is on
the island of Nukawa. There were
4,300 inhabitants in the Islands when
the census was taken in 1900, but the
natives, who are Christians, have
dwindled away since then. There are
8,800 square miles in the thirteen islands,
which compose the Marquesas
group. The chief products are tropical
fruit, copra and mother of pearl. The
landing is difficult, as the shore goes
up like a wall from the sea.
Passengers arriving from the -Pacific
say that the< climate of the Marquesas
la Ideal and that life there Is one long
day dream, with no disturbing element
beyond tbe silver-tongued notes of the
bulbul at sunset from Its lofty perch
on the ancient baobabs by the seashore.?New

RELIC OF MEDIEVAL TIMES
Sacred City of Mongolia Haa But a
Thin Veneer 6f the Civllisa*
tion of Todpy.
Urga, sacred city of the Living Bnddha,
lying far to the north of Mongolia,
is a relic of medieval times overlaid
with a veneer of twentieth century
civilization, and Is a city of violent
contrasts and glaring anachronisms.
It was used as a base of sup
plies by Hoy Chapman Andrews, leader
of the second Asiatic soologlcal expedition
of the American Museum of
Natural History.
Motor cars pass camel caravans
fresh from the Gobi desert; holy tames
in bright robes walk side by stde
with black-gowned priests and swarthy
Mongol women In the fantastic headdrees
of their race stare wonderlngly
gt the latest fashions of their Russian
sisters, relates a correspondent of
the Detroit News. Three great races
fct** met to Urge, and each carries

The Mongol's felt-covereil home has }
remained unchanged ; the Chinese shop
with its wooden counter and bluegowned
inmates is still pure Chinese,
nd the ornate cottages proclaim
themselves to be Russian.
Men from all races and corners of
the earth gamble together. All Mongolia
lives on horseback, and a Mongol
will never walk even n hundred yards
If he can help It. Summer In Mongolia
Is short at best, and In the win- ,
ter the temperature drops to 50 and t
60 degrees below zero, and the great <
plateau Is swept by biting winds from )
the Siberian steppes. (

Leaders Must Pay Pries. i
There's satisfaction In being able to 1
do hard things. Weaklings have to be
exceptionally Insignificant If they can't
do something. Then there Is a large
class that can do many things Indifferently.
Those who can curry big londs
and carry them well are few. To be
In this select class appeals to most
folks, but only the few really deserve
place In it. And they do not land there '
without effort. Such honors are mat- j
ters of growth. Time and toll nre the i
price puld for the advance. Beginning j
with what comes easy the worthy ones (
become experts and then add to their
sphere of achieving such things as naturally
fall in line with their endeavors.
Then they grow without being
really conscious of added strength.
That comes as a glad surprise when |
some one calls attention to It
Asparagus Has a Pedigree.
Asparngus was cultivated in Rome
200 years B. C., and Pliny, in hla "History
Naturalls," mentions that near
Ravenna there grew a kind of which
three heads weighed a pound. Asparagus
flourished also In Greece. It Is
a native of several places near the sea
In Britain. At Kynance cove. In
Cornwall, a rocky Island Is called "Asparagus
island," because at one time
the plant was cultivated there in on
cient days all sprouts of young vegetables
were rolled asparagus; and it
comparatively modern times the artichoke,
cardoon, seakale and allsnnder
were included. Nowadays only the
ne Is so oalled. Most probably all
are wild sro-coast plants, and cultivated
asparagus of an unpalatable order
may still be found on British
shores.

By the time the average man is financially
able to gratify iiis appetite
he hasn't any.
