CHARMING LADIES. -Now that
Alaska with all its treasures is ours.
the fashions followed by the female
natives ought to be of interest to our
ladies. According to British Col
umba paper, our sisters at Sitka
wear a body dress Of equal proportion
Of furs and dirt, arranged to salt the
taste Of the wearers. The married
ladies all wear silver rings in their
noses and needles through their lower
lips while elderly ladies add to
their irresistible charms ''stopper, .
whatever that may be, in the upper
lip. Their amusements are yet re-
stricted to gambling and drinking
whiskey. The law of divorce is
rendered unnecessary in Alaska,
from habit they have of getting
married for a limited number Of
months, the consideration for which
is paid in fish, bones, whale oil and
old junk. / Albany Evening TIMES.

LAST OF THE CRIDIEAN WAR;

that she has paid off her bill of con-

England, and the Emperor, there

ELECTRICITY VS.. THIEVES. A
novel, and, as it seems to us, very
serviceable, door-fastening has been
recently contrived In Berlin. It con-
9isits of electromagnetic machinery
for boiling the Office doors from the
managers or cashiers desk, a knob
being fastened to the desk or ooun,e err.
by pressure on which the electric
current is made to push heavy boil
across the doors. The effect is in
Simultaneous. The short period en-
ployed by thief or forger in gaining
the door, IN some cases sufi es fol
his detection, and, in that event, his
escape might be efectually cut off,
The machinery has been constructed
to the order of a large banking firm
in Berlin, in whose office it is now
in use, though there has been nc
occasion as yet to test its power,
otherwise than experinentally; but
when SO tried, it has invariably Civ

TRAIN SIGNALS. in view Of the
danger and delay attending the pres
ent system, it has been suggested
that light hand-car, with the nee
essary signals and signal lanterns,
should be carried by each passenger
train, SO that in case of sn accident
obstructlng' the track, the fagnan
could be sent backwards to signal
following trains much faster than a
man could walk. When the train
is ready to proceed, the hand-car
would bring the fagman back so
rapidly that some minutes would be
eaved.

country round about, but they
are not severe, and the exhu-
nation Of the dead lying un.

bodies have already been bro't
to light, and some three hum
dred persons are suffering from
more or less serious injuries
sustained during the disaster.
Several persons were rescued
from positions in which they
had been almost buried alive
for some days, unable to extris
cate themselves. Shortly after
the last great shock the earth

forth a quantity of fine yellow
ashes, with which the surroun.
