The Yukon RiVer.

d.. Willis e. Eyerette, who has re-
Gently returned from a government ex-
ploring expedition in Alaska, gives an
interesting description of the Yukon
rive,. of Alaska. DR.. Everette left Har-
risb1lrg in June with one white man end
sixteen indians, but before reaching the
Stewart river his companions returned.
and he finished his journey alone, under
going many great hardships, and having
numerous hair-breadth escapes from
death. He pointed out the fact, that
while the whole of the Yukon river is
generally supposed to be situated in
Alaska, the upper portion of it, into
which the Stewart, Pelly and other riv"
ers, now being explored by prospectors,
flow, is really i'll British America. DR..
Everette declared that he had found
miners who were taking out $15 a day,
yet they had spent over a year in pre-
pairing the ground, and owing to the
difficulty experienced in transporting
provisions or appliances, and the short
period during which mining operations
could be carried on, it cost ten dollars
to gain one dollar. He described the
scenery on the upper portion of tho
river as magnificent and awful. The in
terror of the country is thickly wooded.
| DR.. Everette asserted that the ground
being frozen solid and the SUMS rays
never penetrating more than four feet,
the roots of the tallest trees would,branch
off at that depth and extend thirty feet
horizontally. He described the Yukon
as teeming with fish of many varieties,
including exceptionally fine salmon.
With regard to agriculture and grazing
he declared both impracticable. Sug-
g~cstions have been made as to the posi-
bility of feeding stock On the islands
near the mouth of the Yukon, but, al
though there is plenty of grass, the hu-
midity of the atmosphere offers an in-
superable objection, as it is impossible to
dry the hay. The mud and debris from
the Yukon is carried some seventy miles
out to sea, and the entrance Of deep
water vessels from the Behring sea il
therefore impossible. The boats used on
the river draw less than eleven inches oil
water, and even they are sometimes
grounded on the sandbars beyond thu
junction of the Porcupine with ths
Yukon. DIR. Everettc states that HI

Mind Your Business.

Nine-tenths of MI that goes wrong in
this world is because some one does not
mind his business. When "a terrible
accident occurs, the first cry is that the
means of prevention were not sufficient.
Everybody declares we must have a new
patent fire escape, an automatic engine
switch, or a high proof non-eombustible
sort of lamp oil. But a little lnvestlga-
ton will usually show that all the con-
t~rivances were on hand, and in good
order: the real trouble was somebody
didn't mind his business.
The engineer of the mill, at Rochester,
N. Y. thought the engine would stand a
higher pressure than the safety valve
indicated, so he tied a few bricks to the
valve to hold it down; result: four
yorkingmen killed, u number wounded,
and the mill blown to pieces.
The best ventilated mine In California
was turned into a ~death-trap for half a
hundred miners, because one OF the
nuu,ber entered with a lighted lamp the
gallery he had been warned against.
Nobody survives to explain the ex-
plosion of the dynamite cartridge
factory in Pennsylvania, but as that
TYNE of disaster is almost always
due to heedlessnevs, it is probable thai
this instance is not en- exception to the
rule.

Preservation Of Meat By Injection
1t is found that the sooner antiscptic
LIQUIDS are injected into the veins or ar
teries of a recently kille1 animal, the
more effective they become to prcserv
the meat, owing to the peculiar absorbent
properties of recently killed animal flesh
What is called Gannot's process, having
for its object the preservation of butchers
meat in the fresh state, consists in in
iecting a solution of sulphate of alumina
or chloride of aluminium into the carotid
artery of the slaughtered animal as soon
as the blood ceases to flow, both extremi

The Shoemaker's Logic.

An old French shoemaker, who boosted
that nothing could brighten him, was pus
10 the test by two young men. One OF
them pretended to be dead, and the otner,
going to the shoemaker, Induced MIN to
1t up with the supposed corpse. The
shoemaker was in a hurry for some work,
so he took his tools and leather and be-
working beside the corpse. About
n o'clock, coffee having exhilarated
him, he commenced singing a lVelY tune
keeping time with his hammer. sudden
" tn. corpse arose and exclaimed, IN a
hollow voice. =
tsWhen a man is in the presence OF
death he should not singh"
The shoemaker started, then suddenly
dealt the corpse a blow on the head, ex-
claiming at the same time,-
"When a man is dead he should not
speak" -
1t was the last time they tried to scare
the shoemaker.

Of breeding for this purpose has reduced

which are long, stiff, elastic and Of good

bristles Of American hogs are gray. the
most undesirable color, the other fifteen
per cent. being white. The prices OF
American bristles range from forty to
ninety cents for gray, and from seventy
cents to 81. so for white. German and
Russian bristles run up from four to
seven inches in length and some Of the
latter are fourteen inches. The value of
q bristle depends a. much upon it's color
and elasticity al upon its length. The
white bristles are worth more than the
black or gray. The French brlsEles are

popularity. Another reason ID tie low
price that wool has ruled at for several
years past, enabling U manufacturers
to make weolen dress goods at b very
low figure, and these goods do not re.
quire washing. Some may think they
absorb just as much dirt without show
ing it, but they do not. Cotton-warp
goods, with combed wool filing, can
now be sold asmost as cheap as calico
used to be sold for. But let clean wool
again run up to- dollar and over, and
calico would again be more in demand.
It might be in its new form and under
the more fascinating name of sateen,
which is but the same fabric, with the

their name from the method or manner
Of weaving. Satin is wove on sixteen
harness, with fifteen threads up every
time a filing pick is thrown in, while
sateen is vow on four harness, usually
with three warp threads up every time a
filing pick goes in. AL observers viii
have noticed that satin will not hold
dust, and will repel all kinds Of dirt,
although silk in other weaves, such as
gros-grain, will catch and hold not only
dust but any foreign substance. Cotton
does not have the repelling power of
silk, because it is not SO dense or so lus-
trous, but is a quick absorbent OF mois-
ture, and has an equal affinity for dirt.

HsesalcR for Head Wear.

ssThe ladies of Paris says the 81.
hnnea' Gasette, tstired of wearing dead
birds, are now spending fabulous sum in
procuring all sorts of creeping things
such as spiders, beetles, etc. with
which to adorn their hair and dresses.
Il seems the idea originated with Mime.
Judic, who, during her tour in the
Golden South Americas, : was presented
Nv a deputation of feminine admirers in
Brazil with . brace or pair or couple
we are not sure of the technical term
lor two insects-of Brazilian beetles, or
gold bugs which, it appears, can be
trained, and are tethered by thin gold
chains to a hair-pin, and are allowed to
wander about her head at their own
sweet wills. This idea of ladies adorn-
ing themselves with living insects is hard
ly original. Not to go as far back as the
Egyptians and Etruscans, we ourselves
remember seeing in the Brazils a party
of ladies who, having captured q number
Of fre-lies, enclosed them in long tubes
Of muslin, with which they trimmed the
fronts of their dresses. The effect in a
garden after dark was quite as pretty as
the electric lights which the Tolanthe'
