my delivery from death being due to the
wonderful discovery in medical science,
made by man who to-day stands IL the

by any in my own, epinien. That !, who
heretofore have ever been the most orthodox

An Electric HahitatiOn.

The house of Mrs. d. Sigler, In
Corning, Iowa. one of the most costly
and cOmmodious dwellin S in the
southwestern part of the State, has
become so strongly charged with elec-
tricity in some mysterious way as to
resemble veritable galvanic battery.
The house is built of brick and has
a slate roof. and there is no unu 'ual
feature in it's construction. The fam ly
physician attributes the present sick
ness Of the owner of the house to the
electrical conditions by which she
is surround d, and TO which the
doctors attention was attracted in
a rather startling manner. He was
about to administer a dose of medicine
when a show of sparks was emitted
from the spoon which he held in his

His Rich Joke.

The other day baggage wagon
brought trunk to the Union depot
which was labeled
Dynamite within--smash if you

The trunk was closely followed by a
young man who had about seven
minutes to get his check and catch the
train. When he presented his ticket
and asked for a check the baggage
master replied:
"This trunk can't 60 as baggage"
"WhyP"
"The contents are dangerous. You'll
have 10 remove it from here at once or
I'll make you trouble"
"But there is no dynamite within.
There is the warning"
"Yes, but that was for a joke on the
baggage-SmasherS."

."Let me inspect it"
This was grudgingly acceded to, and
nothing more dangerous than four
shirts which sadly needed washing
were discovered. By this time the
train had departed, leaving the joker
with eight hours on his hands, and as
the trunk was relocked he was handed
scraper and the advice:
Young man, it might be safer for
you to label yourself with something
like: Perishable-no delay You

FOR THE FAIR SEX.
Camping VIII The Baby.

Bourgeois" sen l. from Denver a

Pine Grove, on the South Park rail
road. In it occurs the following
tender piece Of wool-sketching: at

tend camp for half an hour or SO that
afternoon while the three natural
guardians wandered off to the ad AGENT
hil SIDE to gather wild flowers where

no wv business to us. The young

in the middle of a blanket, rubbing
his fa,e with teaspoon; Lying prone
three feet away, with my toes beating
an occasional tattoo on the soft sward,
my chin in my hands and briar-root
between my teeth, watching him.
There was bright light in his eyes.

velvet, yet firm and cool. What is
there like the touch of baby's cheek
pressed against your own :? You
must turn and kiss it, just as you did

right to. But i9 there anything more
ridiculous in life than to see
a baby attempt to put a
spoon into its mouth before be has
got the knack of it. See him
hit himself in the eye with it, pretty
much as drunken man would knock
a fly off his nose; smear it down his
face, with his mouth wide open and
turned up like young robins, but it
misses the place on the way down; he
takes it with both chubby fists, looks
at it with dignitied surprise, as though
for the first time aware of its presence,
lets go one hand, whacks the spoon
against one ear, and drass it across
his cheek with the same result. But
persistence is characteristic of this
baby, a quiet determination that has
something appalling about it. If there
were any raspberry jam on that spoon
his face would look worse thal a rail-
road map of the State of New York.
Finally, and as it would seem after
all more by accident than design, the
spoon reaches the right place; he
twists it round to the distortion of his
rosebud mouth; then he looks at me.

dawn upon him; he takes the spoon

half a mile of 1t. The new safe is
fixed with springs arranged around the
lock in such a manner, that when the

suddenly lights up the room, while a
prepared plate fixed in the door of the
safe insta ltly takes the photograph of
the burglar for future reference. A
burglar down in an Illinois town
planned the robbery of a safe the other

The report of Ivan Petroff, the agent
of the census bureau FIR the enumera-
ton of the population Of Alaska, divides
that country into six district5-frst, the
Arctic division: second, the Yukon
division; third, the Kuskovian divi-
sion; fourth, the Aleutian division;
fifth, the Kadiak division; sixth, the
southeastern division. The southeast
ern division includes Sitka and Wran-
gle, and comprises the greater part Of
the white population of the territory.
There are, or rather were in 1880, but
$50 whites in the whole Territory, and
157 of them were in Sitka and los at
Wrangle. During the last two years
there has been an influx of miners, and
the white population has been greatly
increased. The Creole population in
1880 was 1,757, of which the greater
Part was in the Kadiak division. The
native population is div ded into five
races, viz: The Inuuit, the Aleut, the
Tinneh, the Tlinket and the Hyda.
Their numbers are as follows: Innuit,
1857: Aleut, 2,145; Tinneh, 1927;
Tlinkes. 6,763; Hyda, 7S6. The In
mutt is thus seen to be the dominant
race, ard it is found in all the six
divisions of the territory except the
Aleutian and the southeastern. In
NUTS are the only inhabitants of the
Arctic division, but are most numer-
Gus in the valley of the Yukon and
the Kuskovian division. The total
population of Alaska is given as only
33,426. 1t is one of the sparest popu-
lations in any part of the world,
amounting to but one inhabitant to
every sixteen square miles. Were the
population of the remainder of the
United States no denser than this,
there would be but 225,000 eople in
the country instead of 50.0OO,0J0. Tke
average density of population in the
United States is about fourte, in
habitants to the square mile AMI at
this rate there would be room for seven
and half million people in Alaska.

A New York city physician says
that the number of deaths from pneu-
monia increases every year, and states
as curious fact that the months in
which we have the highest winds are
those in which pneumonia is most
prevalent. In the same connection
"Medicus" says in the New York
Herald that the mortality from
pneumonia in May is nearly always
larger than in December. Thus.
for the ten years preceding 1876 there
were 1,4l5 death in May and only
1858 in December; in May, 1877, 194
deaths, in December I9l /; in May, 1878,
222 deaths, in December 226; in Nav,

349; in May, 1881, 2S2. in December
$50; in May, 1882, AGA deaths. in De
cember $50. The great mortality in
May is doubtless owing to the ex-
posures and want Of conveniences, bare
floors, poor fires, badly cooked food,
carelessneSs about bed and body cloth
ing, cold and perhaps wet rooms, in
