Mouraful Tidings from Alaska.

At Sitka and along shore the mission
aries and the Indians have had great
times together, and through unfortunate
choice in its agents the Presbyterian
Board has not accomplished all the good
that it might among these peaceful. happy
go-lucky natives, The Rev. Sheldon Jack
son came Up and organized a mission,
and then went East to work up the
interest of good people. Roxes of cloth
ing and books came up ON every steamer
sent by pious old ladies and good SUNDAY
school children in the East, and the
Indians believed that verify Providence
cared for them. The mission buildings
burned, and before new home could be
erected the leading missionary took up his
talants and ink bottle and Joined partner
ship with q trader. He has pTospered
beyond all measure in his commercial
venture, and, though others have taken
his place in the soul-saving work, the In

boxes of goods and all the articles in his
store are things that have been sent for
them from the missionary societies of the
East. Unfortunately the missionaries
Will not live at peace with their white
neighhcTs, and the stories of missionary
greed and worldliness that one hears are
appalling. The reverend gentleman in
charge of one of these stations on this
coast calmly said in my presence that
there was great temptation for the mis-
sionaries to relapse into traders or exer-
else the dual functions, and that without
doubt many had come TO the Alaskan
field in order that they might make or save
money, Although most of the white resi-
dents are guarded in their statements con-
corning mission affairs, enough is heard
on all sides to put some of these teachers
Of Christianity in a sad and doubtful light.

A Lady Tricycler.

For some time past it mas been the fash
ion for ladies at Eastern watering places
to ride the tricycle., and many pleasant
excursions have been made about the
adjacent country by means of that way of
travelling. The matter has often been
talked over by ladies here, where the bou-
levards and fine park drives offer a splen-
did opportunity for such excursions, but
the great obstacle in the way of their use
has been the fact that it was difficult to
lind lady with courage enough to break
the ice and set the fashion for the society
bellies of the Garden City, and therefore
they have denied themselves the pleas
ure that their gentlemen friends lind
in the use OF the wheel. Mrs. Frank
+. Yates, the wife of the eX-champiOn
Oarsman and now chief reporter of the
Board of Trade. who is himself an enthu-
siastic bicycler, has at last taken the
initiative and become as great an enthu-
siast over the wheel as her husband.
Mounting a tricycle. for the first time a
few days ago, she rode for a distance of
twenty-four miles along the boulevard,
and now, every afternoon, clad IN neat
dark green skirt and cl0se-ftting jacket,
she may be seen gliding gracefully along
the bOulevards or along the parks, the OBJ
served of all observers. The ladies are
particularly interested in watching her,
and ON every hand indulgent papas and
fond husbands are being teased to buy
tricycles. 1t is understood that ladies'
tricycle. club Will be formed at an early
day, and then the gentlemen will no
longer be monOpolists in the use Of the
wheel and the houleYards,
