An Arctic Archipelago.

A correspondent of The San Francis
co Chronicle on board ship bound for
Alaska, writes: Only think of it for a
moment Here on the northern coast
there are islands, sOWn so thickly that
many of the sea passages, though deep
enough for three-decker to swim in,
are SO narrow that one might easily
skim his hat across them. There are
thousands of these islands-yes, tens of
thouSands-I don't know just how
many, and perhaps no man does. They
are ali shapes and sizes, and the major
ity Of them are handsomely wooded
The somber green of the woods stretch
ing between the sOmber blue-green of
the water and the Opaline sheen of the
sky forms pcture-a mOmentary pic
ture-the chief features of which change
almost as suddenly and quite as COM
pletey as the transformations in ka-
kaleidoscope. We are forever turning
corners, and no sooner are we safely
around one corner than three others

which of the three are we bound, and
will our good ship run TO larboard or to
starboard? This is a turn one might
bet on all day long-and lose nearly
every time. A tangle of tides What
a bew.ldering cruise! Vastly finer than
river sailing is this Alaskan expedition.
Here is a whole tangle of rivers full of
strange tides, mysterious currents and
surprises. Moreover, we can get lost
if we want to-nO one can get lost in
river. We can rush in where pilots
fear to tread, strike sunken rocks. toss
among dismal eddieS, or plunge into
whirlpools. We can rake overhanging
boughs with our yardarms if we want
to, but we don't want to. In 1875 the
United States steamer Saranac went
down in Seymour narrows. and her
fate was sudden death The United
States steamer Suwanee met with a
dixie misfortune at the entrance to
Queen Charlotte sound. 1t is rather
jolly 10 think of these things and to
realize that we are in more or less dam
ger. though the shores are as silent as
the grave, the sea sleeps like a mill
pond, and the sun sets with great dig
nifty and precision, nightly bathing the
lonely north in sensuous splendor.

Waterways VS.. Railways.

A general but erroneous notion that the day
of canals has passed, that they have been
superseded by railroads, is vigorously COM
bated by Horatio Seymour, Jr., in pamphlet
called ''The Canal Age" He shows that rail-
ways never have carried freight as cheaply as
canals and probably never can; that the Erie
Canal, far from being a tax, is profitable in
vestment for the state; that Germany, Austria,
Russia, England, and other countries are rap
idly extending their canal systems; and that
in the extent of our water routes this country
is relatively far behind Europe. Thus, France
is engaged on four great waterways, for which
$2OO, 900 have been appropriated and
which will cost much more; Germany and
Russia are constructing canal from the Baltic
to the North Sea; England is making canals
from London to Liverpool and Bristol, and
from Manchester to Liverpool; while Canada
is spending $1,OO0,O00 to improve the Welland
Confederation Union, NsW York.

Peerless Journalism.

The advancement in journalism in the past
decade has been miraculous AS an evidence
OF this fact it is only necessary to cite THE
WORLD of New York. Under its present man
agement its growth has been phenomenal It's
daily circulation has increased from $1,000 to
10000, and its Sunday edition from 10000 to
over 200, 900. AS this mighty change has been
wrought in the short space of three years, it
may be inferred that the present management
understand the full meaning of the term
newspaper. Persons DESTROYS of keeping
themselves posted on the affairs of the whole
world should at once subscribe for THE
WoRLD-a paper without peer.

A Reform That Has Worked
Wonders.

The old theory that it needs brute
of man to handle and train brutal
men IS passing away. The men in
charge of our prisons are coming up
noblv to their work The main trouble
now is-and from the nature of the
problem always must be-to keep up
the tone of the subordinate officers and
employees. Every employee about a
prison, from the head superintendent to
scullion, should carry about with him
the contagious atmosphere of sturdy
moral integrity in the pursuit of an
ideal better than his act-NeO Eng

Mr.. VIM. Hunt, of Vineton, a small
place about twenty miles from Selma,
in Autauga county, on the East Tenn,
Va. & Ga. r. R., was the lucky man IN
the May drawing of The Louisiana
State Lottery. In conversation yester-
day with Times reporter at his home,
the following questions were asked and
answers given:
81 am told you struck the Louisiana
State Lottery rich?" said the reporter.
''Wen," replied Mr.. Hunt, Il don't
know whether you call it rich or no.
but certainly have $4,000 which l
drew in the lottery on the 18th OF
May"
How long have you been investing
in the Louisiana and what have you
paid out?''
II have been sending a dollar

the twelfth dollar brought me $15,-

"Well, you see / was notified first by

posted my ticket on the 18th of May

tinued the speaker, Il want you to say
