A BIG TERRITORY.
,A1aska's Size, Extent Of Coast Line,
and Wealth of Timber.

''Rnhamah," in st. Louis Globe-Democrat.
The extent of this northwest territory and
the vast distances between points are more
than bewi'dering. Alaska itself is equal in
area to al of the United States east of the
Mississippi river. Counting the Aleutian
chain, the Pribylof group and the 1000
islands Of the Alexander archipelago, the
total area Of the Alaska islands is 81 POS
square miles.
The island of Attu, the last OF the Aleutian
chain, is is far west of San Francisco as
Bangor, Me-, is east Of it, and the indented
coast line of Alaska, measuring over $4,000
miles, is even greater that tie whole coast
line of the Atlantic and Pacific shores of the
United States put together. Southern
Alaska, as it is called, comprises the narrow
strip of territory that extends southwark
from Mount St Elias to Dixon channel, the
boundary line between Alaska and British
Columbia. This thirty-mile strip of land,
with its outlying islands, is the best known
part of the territory, and, with the exception
of OnalaSka and the Seal islands, is the seat
of the only white settlements of any conse-
quence or promise. Dense forests clothe the
islands and mainland of southern Alaska
and ''daTken a region half as large as Eu-
rope
Although the rocky foundations are only
covered with thin, sandy soil, vegetation
houriShes with a ranllnesS that can not be
surpassed in the tropics. The close forests of
yellow cedar, Sitka and Douglass spruce,
Jetfreys pine and balsam fir have never been
devastated by fires, and for unnumbered ages
only glaciers or avalanches have interfered
WI the steady processes of nature. The
Rts'ians cleared little ground about
thel 5ettlements, but later inhabitants have
mad 10 efforts in that way, since crops
can no5 be raised with success and
there are not enough horses or cattle for any
one to direct their attention to grasses that
can not be dsied in the constant dOwnpour.
The stumps Of trees will never rot in the
ground, and the fallen trunks in the forest
form a network like the corners of rail fences,
with each log covered with thick moses and
grasses, and bearing q dense growth of rank
ferns, bushes and small trees.
1t is wholly imposj. Die 20 penetrate the for
estS without path first being Gewn through
the thickly ranged tree trunks, and in the
wood paths about Sitka one frequently sees
trees two and three feet IL diameter, growing
over the PROSTATE forms of pines Of even
greater dimensions. If you step aside
from the path to force your way
through the underbrush to reach
clusters Of crimson and orange salmon berries,
you may suddenly be engulfed, and sink two
or ten feet into pitfal Of messy logs. Only
the certainty that there are no snakes or
creeping things in Alaska encourages one to
venture aside from the narrow and graveled
paths that benefcent Russian rulers caused To
be made about Sitka.

Helping Mother.

II was the evening before commence

young ladies of the gradual NO class
were gathered around q window over
looking the pleasant grounds, and talk
inc eagerly about the future. Their
plans were various, reaching onward
W th no thought of grief or sorrow.
Wealth, admiration, fame. were among
the attainable Music and art would
each have its devotee. One would con-
tinue her studies at a higl er institution;
ano her would become the mistress of
o beautiful home.
One had not spoken, and when the
question, second time, was asked inn
patiently: "Louise, what are your
plansP' her answer was eagerly await
ed II shall help my mother" said
quiet Louise. "O-o-oh, we all mean
to do that, of course said one, "but
what plans have you? You can't mean
to stay at home n poky way and not
try to do anything?" "Grls,' said
Louise, . do mean to do just that;
for the present, at least my business
shall be to help my mother in any way
that it is possible for me TO help her."

Can Never Catch 1t.

Children, what is it you can never
catch, even if you were to chase after it
as quick as possible, with the swiftest
horse in the worldP
You can never catch the word that
has once gone out of your lips.
Once spoken, it is out of your power;
do your best, you can never recall it.
Therefore take care what you say,
for ''In the multitude of words there
wanteth not sin; but he that refraineth
his lips is wise. "-Pr0U. 1919.

A Muscular Christian.

Several days ago, during the meeting
of religious convention in this city,
there was in attendance one man who
especially attracted attention. His name
Colonel Glint-is familiar to many
people, particularly so to eX-Confed-
crate soldiers. When the war came Mr..
Gil Mt, having been recently ordained a
minister of the Gospel, went with the
army as Chaplain. He preached and
prayed with great ardor, keeping up
every possible phase of religious inten-
ton until the opening of the first battle.
He was ordered to the rear, where he
stood, occasionally sending up petit
ton. Finally, he couldn't stand it any
longer, eXclaiming: I'll be Billy be dad
gummed if | am going to stay here
seized a gun, and rushed into the fight.
| Seeing his own regiment, he cheered
the men and gave such encouragement
that he was soon looked upon as
| leader. The Colonel of the regiment
was killed duling the engagement, and
upon the presentation of a petition,
signed by nearly seven hundred men,
Mr.. Clint was promoted to the highest
office in the regiment. He did not
preach any more during the war; but
he continued to sing little, and would
occasionally pray when he did not have
any other duty of more military import
aDce to perform. The first thing he
did after returning home from the war
was to institute a revival, which an old
infidel. living near, swore lasted six
months. The dsbeliever one day re.
marked that he was reconc led to the
defeat Of the Confederacy, and was will
ing to shake hands with the man who
stole two of his horses, and could be
persuaded to accept as Il son-in-law the
fellow that filled up his well with old
rails, but he would be eternally blasted
if he could ever favorably contemplate
one of Glint's protracted meetings. For
this speech Clint met the unbeliever
and thrashed him profoundly. He told
him that if he was not regular in his at
tendance at church he would be pun
ished still more severely. The infdel,
rather than be unnecessarily bruised,
attended church, finally protested re-
ligion, and is now preacher for the
poor people among the mountains.

The Factory Numbering OF Yarns.

All yarns, whether of cotton, wooden,
worsted, or other material, are num-
bered according to their size. A No. l
cotton yarn contains $40 yards to the
pound, and a No. 10 contains ten times
that amount, or S,4O0 yards. No. 40
cotton yarn contains 40 times $40. or
$4,000 yards to the pound, and its di-
ameter consequently only one-fortieth
as great as that of No. /.
Wooden yarns are measured in "runsm
OF l,6OO yards TO the pound. Tworun
yarn contains 5000 yards to the pound,
three-run 1850, ten-run 10000, and SO
on.
No. worsted yarn always measures
900 yards to the pound, and No. 10 is
onc-tenth as large, and measures 5000
yards TO the pound. As matter OF
fact, but little if any worsted yarn is
spun coarser than No. 10, and the finest
commonly made is No. 65, though some
mills run as small as No. 30. No. 9(
worsted yarn contains 10000 wards tc
the pound, and its smallness can there
fore readily be imagined. The No. Il
worsted yarn, in most common use fol
knitting, contains only $500 wards tc
tho pound, but is generally made OF
very fine wool.-Tcrtiie Gazette.
