Chow to Preserve a Watermelon for
Christfnaan

Christmas"
Now that the warm weather has come
to stay for awhile, and everybody viii
soon be wrestling with the luscious
watermelon, the season brings TO mind a
little story about how to preserve this
delicious fruit for the Christmas
tide. A matron Of this city, who
is always looking for some recipe
for a new dish and some new sug-
gestion as how TO preserve fruit, made 1t
point to read the household recipes in
her magazine. Last year, in looking over
these departments, her eye ran acrosssa a
paragraph with the heading. ''How to
keep watermelOns for Christmas."
Thinking this would be quite treat for
ner family in the holiday time,
she decided to try it. So,
procuring a fine melon, she proceeded
according to the directions contained in
the recipe, TO varnish the fruit with three
heavy coats, and placed 1t away IN an un-
occupied room, along with the heavy bed
covering, where it remained until the
chilly days Of November caused he COW
ering TO be taken out for the winter What
was the matrOn's surprise when, In over
hauling the covering, she happened TO
move the melon, to hear something slzZ at
her feet. Fearing that it might be Il snake
which was warning her Of two near ap-
prOach, she stepped back somewhat
alarmed. Putting on a bold front, how
ever. she made another effort to remove
the led othing, when there was another
prolonged sizz. 1t now became evident
to her mind that the melon was the cause
of the Sizing sound and that the fruit
was in state of decomposition. This
shook her faith in magazine recipes, and
you only have to sizz at her now to make
woman real mad.

HOtU Gold Was Found By White Prospet
tors on an Island in the Pacific.

HOtU Gold Vas Found By White ProSpec-
tors an Island in the Pacific.
Alaska Letter in the GlobeD Democrat
The center from which radiates whatever
of excitement and interest there is in Alaska
mines is in Douglas island. The history of the
discovery Of ore near this island which even
tually led to the location of the present much
talked of property. is similar to that attend
ing the finding of most of the large mines in
the West. 1t seems that some half dozen
years ago two needy and seedy prospectors
named Juneau and Harris arrived at an In
dian village that still remains visible on the
shore across the bay from Douglas island
in search of ore. They prospected the coun-
try as thoroughly as they could, but with lit
tie success, and were about to return home
when an Indian said he knew where gold
existed, and that he would reveal the place
for a certain sum of money. Hardly believ-
ing, but yet curious, Harris and Juneau ac-
cepted the offer, and, with their guide, set
out on a pilgrimage into the interior to spot
known as THE Basin.n After q long tramp
through the forests and up deep valley the
Indian showed them place where there were
nuggets of free gold and dirt which, when
PANIED, yielded a handsome return. Claims
were in Immediately staked out and the two adj
venturers began their work in earnest.
Later the fact of the discovery became
known, and other miners entered the valley,
and the region gained no little celebrity and
became the scene of much animation. Four
years the work progressed, and town, which
to-day is of respectable size and great expec-
tations, was founded and christened Juneau.
At present the "Basin" mines, or, more prop
erly speaking, claims, are not yielding enough
TO be of much account, though many of them
are still worked in desultory fashion and
return fair wages to the men employed.
Prospecting is still going on, however, and
several tunnels have been started which lead
in quartz lodges bearing moderate supply
of gold.
