The native Alaskans have two methods
OF burial-One for the open prairie coun-
try and one for the wooded districts. In
the latter the body is generally placed
between two trees in small excavation
slightly covered with earth, followed by
a layer of heavy logs, then thick COW
ering of earth, and lastly mound of
heavy stones. When the prairie burial
Is adopted the body is placed upon a
wide platform of stout logs and shut out
by Tough barricade of odds and ends

Lincoln, when the descriptions of John
Wilkes Booth that were published led
Mr.. Blackford to suspect that the man
whom lac had stopped on Inauguration
day was no other than Booth himself.
Further inquiry proved that Booth had
been seen in the crowd in the rotunda
ON that day, and the descriptions given
by those who witnessed Mr., Blackfords
seizure of him completed the identilica-
ton.
Subsequent disclosures led to the be-
lief that it was Booths intention TO
shoot President Lincoln while taking
the oath of Office or delivering his in

by the bravery and promptness to act

LIncoln's Life In 1868.
Captain S. S. Blackford, who died SC
suddenly in Washington recently, was
the hero of very exciting episode on
the day of President Lincoln's second
Inauguration. He was on that day q
member of the capitol police and
formed ono of the line that guarded the
procession, consisting of the President,
Vice President, Senators and Represen-
tatives, Judges of the Supreme Court,
and high civil, military and naval Off
GERS, as it passed from the Senate
chamber to the platform at the east
front Of the capitol, where Lincoln was
TO take the oath Of Office and road his
inaugural address.
The line of the police was double
one and solid, aud. as those were crit
ical days and there had been rumors OF
attempts TO attack the President tho
strictest orders had been issued that no
one should be allowed to pass out of
the cast door of the rotunda except
those rightfullyin the procession. After
Il portion Of tho procession had passed

police near the door and rushed for the
platform. Mr.. Blackboard sprang from
his place and seized the man, and, in
spite of his desperate struggles to es-
cape, and his declaration that he had n
right to go upon tho platform, held him
until the doors were closed. Then
Others came to his assistance and the
man was put outside the lines. The
remainder of the procession then passed
out and the Inauguration took place
without interruption.

Impure Water and Ice.

This is striking statement, but Mr..
Tonry is able to demonstrate that it is
based on a multitude of well-studied
facts. There is no absolutely pure
water in nature, but there are limits
beyond which the contamination Of
drinking or cooking water can not be
safely allowed to go. The presence of
chlorine in water indicates the kind of
organic impurity dangerous to health
A drop of solution of nitrate of silver
is convenient test. If it produces in
tumbler of the water in question a
white cloud, chlorine and its related
impurities are present to probable
dangerous extent. Boiling will, as
rule, destroy disease germs. The pop
ular theory that freezing .purifies
