effect on dogs of what would be the eff
feet on human beings must make mis-
takes. There is not the least reason to
suppose that the effect would be the

that a diet of thistles with Jumps of rock
salt would be beneficial to man, but
donkeys certainly thrive on both. 1t is
a well known fact that to experiment on
animals with drugs for the purpose of
ascertaining their effect is futile and ut
terly useless. the action being different
on nearly all. Tobacco is harmless to a
goat, lachesis (rattle-snake) to a pig,
strychnine to toucan, and belladona
(deadly nightshade) to a rabbit; but all
these are deadly poisons to man. do

veloped, but do not know whether this
is the cause or the effect,''

The Indians of Alaska


The number of aborigines in Alaska
is variously estimated from thirty to
fifty thousand. With regard to those
in the interior there is very meagre ac-
curate knowledge. The obstacles in the
way of thorough understanding of
the nature of this portion of the Ameri-
can possessions, and the number and
character of the natives, are not great,
either from the cost of outfitting an ex-
ploring party, danger from the natives,
or any other terrors incident to such an
undertaking. In their handiwork, es-
pecially as exhibited by carvings in
wood, stone and slate. their ornaments
and shapely canoes, they display un-
looked-for skill. Blanketed natives,
with painted or hideously besmeared IA
ces, were to be seen. From a condition
offensive to the nostrils and the scantv
mode of dress, there are various stages
of approach to cleanliness and civilized
style OF clothing; some, indeed, make q
very presentable appearance. Some
times Indians were observed affection
ately fondling their children, and the
men often CARRYING their offspring in
their arms with all the apparent pride
OF their white brethren. The women
generally do the trading and bargain
ing in disposing of furs and in other
transactions. When an Indian offers
fur for sale, and the price has been az
ranged between him and the purchaser,
his klochmau, or squaw, can veto the
transaction, and has to be consulted be-
fore the trade becomes final. The Indi-
ans are never in hurry to conclude a
barpain those at a Distance oftop 80
naming at a trading post for weeks
holding out for most triflinc advance
on the price offered. They are shrewd
traders, and the amounts agreed upon
for the different kinds of furs seem very
high to an uninitiated looker-on. The
purchasers would lose money on the
goods if they paid coin. The Indians
shreWdness manifests itself only in Sc
curing the promise of a high price,
They do not want money, but desire
articles out of the store Their iono-
rance of what these cost the dealer
leaves them prey to the most outrage
Gus imposition from the more intelli-
gent but less honest white trafficker.
These Indians are industrious, willingly
opportunities of earning
money by working for it. If they are
not doomed race, bv reason of liquor
and contact with depraved whites pre-
venting their reclamation from hea-
thenism. in the coming development of
the resources of Alaska they will be
valuable factor as 'hewers of wood and
drawers of water" They are quick to
learn what is required of them.-Port-

The Chicago of the Early Da1s,

When the board of trade met in q
room of no great space on South Water
street, and the bulls were verv small
calves, and the bear cubs of very small
account, and corners we've not heard OF
barring corner lots; in the davs be-
fore the ''Wigwam," when Widow
Clarke's mansion lay far to the south
ern line of the city, and Chicago Ave-
nue. lay far north, and the pigs were not
afraid of the policemen beyond Supe-
rior street; when the COWS went out to
pasture on the prairies, and had not fa1
to 60, and the herdsman's horn sound
ed for them through what were then
the still morning hours; when the little
parks within the city were planted with
old tin cans, the great parks unheard
of, and Lincoln park was the cemetery
for our dead; when we were all poor by
comparison, but merry as May-day, for
the world was young on the Lake
shore, and, while each man fought for
his owniband, I'VE all fought for the clan,
and were known wherever we went by
the way we stood up for Chicago as the
very choicest spot on the habitabe
globe, predestined and called already,
and bound in good time to be justified
and gloritied. .-Robert ColLyer.

Bill Arp's Baby Talk.

The poet hath said that ''a baby in
the house is well spring of pleasure"
There is brand-new one here now, the
first in eight years, and it has raised a
powerful commotion. It's not our baby,
exactly but it is in the line of descent,
and Mrs. Arp takes on over it all the
same as she used to when she was regu-
larly in the business. l thought maybe
she had forgot how to nurse 'em and
talk to 'em, but she is singing the same
old familiar songs that have sweetened
the dreams of half q score, and she bles-
ses the little eyes and sweet little mouth,
and uses the same infantile language
that nobody but babies understand. For
she says ..tum here to its danmudder."
and ''bless its little heart" and talks
about its sweet little footsy-tootsies, and
holds it up to the windows to see the
wagons 90 by and the wheels going
rouny-pouny, and now my liberty is
curtailed. for as | go stamping around
with my heavy farm shoes she shakes
her ominous finger at me just like she
used to, and says don't you see the baby
is asleep, and so 1 have to tip-toe
around, and ever and anon she wants Il
little fire, or some hot water, or q little
catnip, for the baby is a-crying, and
surely has got the collie. The doors
have to be kept shut now for fear of q
draft of air on the baby, and n little
hole in the window pane about us big
as dime had to be patched and [ have
to hunt up y passel of kin 'lings every
night, and put 'em where they will be
handy. and they have sent me off to
another room where the baby can't hear
me snore, and all things considered, the
baby is running the machine, and the
wellspring of pleasure is the center of
space.
| A grandmother is a wonderful help,
! and a great comfort at such a time as
this, for what does a young mother with
her first child know about collie and
thrash. and hives, and hiccups, and it
takes a good deal of faith to dose, 'em
with sut tea and catnip. and limewater,
and paregOric, and soothing syrup, and
sometimes with all of these the child
gets worse, and if it gets better I've
always had a curiosity to know which
remedy it was that did the work. Child
rem born of healthy parents can stand q
power of medicine and get over it. for
after the cry comes sleep, and sleep is n
wonderful restorer.
Rock 'em awhile in the cradle and
then take 'em up and jolt 'em little
on the knee, and then turn 'em over
and jolt 'em on the other side, and then
give 'em some sugar in rag, and after
while they will go to sleep and let the
poor mother rest. There is no patent
on this business, no way of raising 'em
all the same way, but it is trouble,
trouble from the start, and nobody but
mother knows how much trouble it is.
A man ought to be a mighty good man
just for his mothers sake, if nothing
else, for there is no toll or trouble like
nursing and caring for little child,
and there is nc grief SO great rs a
mothers if all her care and anxiety are
wasted on an ungrateful child. .-Atlanta

FIFTY YEARS AGO.

How wondrous are the changes. Jim.
Since fifty years ago.
When girls wore linen dresses. Jim,
And boys wore pants of tow.
Our shoes were made of buckskin, Jim,
And oar socks of homespun wool.
And children did a half-day's work
Before the hour for school.
The people rode to meeting, Jim,
dn sleds. instead of sleighs.
And wagons rode as easy, Jim,
AS buegies now adays,
And oxen answered well for teams.
But now they'd be too slow.
For everything has changed so much
Since fifty years ago.
Our girls took music Lessons, Jim,
Upon the spinning wheel.
And praeficed late and early, Jim,
On spindle, swift and reel,
And boys rode bare back to mill
Some dozen miles or so,
And started off before daylight.
Some fifty years ago.
How well do remember. Jim,
That Wilson patent stove
That father bought and paid for. Jim,
With cloth our girls had wove:
And how the neiGhbors wondered, Jim,
When we got the thing to go;
They said 'twould burst and kill us all,
Some fifty years ago.

Smoking and Splitting.

A lady writer in the Boston AdUer-
tiSer has poured in broadside of de-
nunciatory criticism on the men who
smoke and spit in public places. the
streets and cars especially. The AdUe7'-
tiser heard her complaint patiently, and
replied in really philosophic temper;
the gist of its advice being that what
people on the whole are willing to put
up with, the few who are incommoded
or offended must try and put up with
the best way they can. 1t is quite too
bad to have to answer q sensitive wO-
mans complaints in that way, but what
can be done? 1t is all out of the ques-
tion to think of stopping the practice of
smoking. Yet we think it but right and
courteous that smokers should consider
that not every one smokes. A puff of
tobacco smoke in the face is like II sick
ening dose to many persons, men as well
as women. Ordinarily, a gentleman
does not smoke in the street, except at
unusual hours.
But on the subject of splitting there is
more to be said. There is altogether
too much of it, and it is done too indis-
criminately. A person who is capable of
any reflection should at least see for
himself the common decency of spittiug
off the sidewalk instead of upon it. The
habit of splitting on floors that are walk
ed over by others is simply indecent.
And the practice of disgorging in the
corners of the floors beneath car-seats is
unqualifiedly vile. AS for squirting
about in the passage ways of railway
cars, the person who does it needs a
great deal of training before being ad-
mitted into any apartment where either
gentlemen or ladies are. Men should
prepare themselves for their railroad
ride just as they do for their dinner;
they can finish their splitting before they
enter the cars, and hold up at least un-
til they have ended their ride, especially
if it is to be short one. Few habitual
spitters know what perfect torture of
disgust they inflict on others by the
ostentatious display they make of this
nasty habit.
