Senator Leland Stanford of Cali
fornia is advocating the construction
of an Alaska railroad to enter the
Eastern Continent across Behring
Strait. In Europe his proposition
has created more of a sensation than
in this country, where little or moth
ing has been said about it. Since
Cyrus w. Field laid the first Allan
tic cable Europeans have regarded
nothing as impossible to Americans,
especially in the field of construction.
They look on the Brooklyn and Nj
agara bridges, the Pacific railroads,
the Western Union telegraph system,
the Atlantic cables and other feats
of American engineering and science
as proof positive that Americans can
accompli sh whatever they undertake
in this field of human enterprise.
The AHd Californian is enthusiastic
over Senator Stanford's project, and
declares that the present generation
will read in its columns the time
schedule of trains that run between
San Francisco and St. Petersburg,
and that ''the man who sings songs
at the Oakland Ferry as the passen-
gers land from this side, NAV one
day intone Passengers for Suisun,
Sacramento, Shasta, Portland, Puget
Sound, Sitka, Omsk, Tomsk, Mimi
Novogorod, Moscow and st. Peters

harbor, and send tons and tons of
metal flying with crushing force at
any vessel he pleased. He could do
even more. He could explode any,
or all, of the mines and torpedoes at
once, or he could have one grand
simultaneous explosion of all the
guns, torpedoes, and mines. At each
fort and battery would be stationed
officers who by means of instruments
would find exactly the course of the
enemy's ships. This would be tele-
graphed to the commander, who would
thus know at every instant just where
any vessel is, and how fast she is
sailing. SO he could predict that
ship will pass a certain spot at any
time, and, if she did not change her
course, could press the key, and blow
up the vessel, or send at her q huge
bolt of iron or steel. If the enemy
had landed force on the mainland
down the coast, and it was marching
on the fort to take it in the rear, the
commander could wait till he saw the
force on road approaching a fort,
when, pressing another key, several
iron doors of the fort would open and
automatic machine-guns pop out, and
commence firing at the rate of six
hundred shots per minute apiece, and
keep it up till the key was pressed
again, when they would withdraw and
the shields close. 1t can be seen that
the commander should know abso-
lutely all that is going on, as other
wise he might fire into his own forts.

Electricity in Coast Defense.
Electricity plays perhaps the most

Electricity plays perhaps the most
wonderful part in all these huge works.
Not far from the main fort, there
would be built a little round building.
This would be the place for the tow
er of observation of the commanding
officer. From here he could see all
over the harbor and away out to sea.
The tower would be strong, and in
side would be the wonderful key
boards of the electric system. By
means of these, the commander could
telephone to the captain of any bat
terry to load his guns, and aim them
at such and such an angle and direc-
ton. The captain of the battery
would do so and telephone back the
moment he was ready. The COM
mander could tell the captain to fire,
or he could, if he chose, press little
key and himself fire each gun singly
or all the guns at once. He could do
the same with all the batteries and
forts, and he could, from his little
tower miles away, by light touch of
his finger explode every gun in the

The Druggists Colored Jars.

While a reporter was talking with
an uptown druggist, the other even
ing, little fellow clad in blue
suit, entered, and bought a postage
stamp. After getting the stamp, he
said:
EsSay mister, what do you put in
them big jars in the Window
"Colored WATER" replied the drug
gist, smiling and when the little fell
low had gone, he added: ''Every
now and then some little child asks
us about those globes
"Well, am curious myself. What
is the full recipe?" said the reporter.
"Those used by the better class of
druggists, replied the druggist, ''are
in reality, composed of mixtures of
chemicals. Some use bottles of col
ored glass, filled with water; but
these do not reflect the light from
the gas jets as the chemicals do. For
red, the most common of all, we mix
iodine and iodide of potassium with
water. Some add alcohol, to pre-
vent freezing. Blue is formed by a
mixture of sulphate of copper, COM
monty called blue vitriol, and water
of ammonia. Plain bichromate of
potash, in water, forms the yellow
coloring, and green is made by
mixture of blue and yellow, or else
from nickel dissolved in nitric acid.
A pretty crimson color may be made
by combining alkanet root and oil of
turpentine, and lilac is the result of
mixture of crude oxide of cobalt
and nitric acid. Royal purple, one
of the window colors, is made by
dissolving logwood or cochlneal in
ammonia or sulphate Of indigo. Pink
is nitre of cobalt and sesquicarbonate
of ammonia, and amber is formed of
one part of dragons blood, and four
of oil of vitriol, filtered and mixed
with water. OF course, all sorts of
combinations of these colors made,
and other shades produced, but those
which | have named are the principal
ones in use. The first thing drug
gist does, on starting business, is to
buy the chemicals needed for his bot
ties. They are an important item
in the equipment of his store. ~.

CANADA's NATIONAL DEBT.-A
Government return shows the debt
of the Dominion has reached the enor-
nous figure of S285, US, $3.50, or $50
per head of population, at which it
stood on the 1st of July inst. AS
compared with 1879 the debt has
been increased 80 per cent with 1869,
154 per cent. This probably is with
out parallel in the history of any new
country, increase of 154 per cent in
twenty years. In 1859 Canada owed
England $75, S47 ,175 in1S79, $128,-
307 400, increasing in 1889 to $780,
1925. During the past year $12,-
Up, 100 has been added to the Do
minion debt payable in London. This
enormous liability has mainly been
contracted in the contraction of the
Canadian Pacific and Intercolonial
Railways and Dominion canals. Last
year there was a deficit of nearly half
a million dollars in working the Inter-
colonial, while in the maintenance of
the Dominion canals there is large
annual loss. Annexation means the
assumption of this debt by the United
States.

Life in Japan.

From an article in the September
Century by the artist Wores we quote
the following: Sin Japan women
have always held higher position
than in other Asiatic countries. They
go about freel y wherever they please,
and the seclusion of the Chinese is
wholly unknown to them The schools
receive as many girls as boys; and
as a result of my observations | can
safely say, without idle compliment,
that the former are brighter than the
latter.
"By degrees, and under these fav-
orable conditions for general observa-
ton. some of the causes of the peo-
pies happy spirit of independence
began to be revealed to me- The
simplicity Of their lives, in which en-
tiers no selfish rivalry to Guido one
for this enviable result. Regarding
one another very much as belonging
to one family, their mode of life is
more or less on the same plane, and
consequently spirit of great harmo-
ny prevails. A very small income is
sufficient to supply the ordinary
necessaries of life, and everything
else is secured with but very little
effort. Household effects are few
and inexpensive; and should every
thing be destroyed by fire or lost in
any way, it is not an irreparable ca
lamity. All can be replaced at a
small outlay and life go on as before.
''The tenant upon renting house
is put to little expense to furnish it;
indeed, he requires absolutely no fur
niture at all. The clean, finely woven
mats which cover the floor serve as a
table, chair, and bed; and as it is
the universal custom to remove the
shoes before entering u house, there
is no danger of ones bringing with
him the dirt from the streets.
ellis bedding consists of cotton
quilts, which are spread out on the
floor at night, rolled together in the
morning, and stored away in the clos
ct during the day. A few pictures
and specimens of beautiful script
decorate the walls, few vases con-
tain sprays of flowers, and number
of cushions on the floor complete the
furnishing of room. Yet it does
not seem empty or cherries; for the
general arrangement of harmonious
colors, the different woods employed
in it's visible construction, and the
beauty of the finished workmanship,
make a most harmonious and pleas
ing combination. Paint is never used
to cover the wood, much less to sub
stitute q false grain"

The Last Good Night.

Clad in their night-gowns, clean and white
The children come to say goodnight
"Father, goodnight" says Mariory,
Climbing for kisses on my knee.
Then Ernest, Kittie, Harry next,
And baby, till feel perplexed,
Wishing the last goodnight was said,
And eac.l and all were packed to bed.
These small folks take me unawares;
hear them call, when safe upstairs,
AS L sit down to read or write,
FEATHER, we want to say good night"
The book or pen is laid aside;
find them lying, open-eyed,-
Five rosy rebels, girls and boys,
Who greet me with tumultuous noise.
Can L be stern with such as these?
Can charming ways and looks displease?
They hold, and scarce will let me go,
And all because they love me so.
Then in a vision, suddenly
The future seems unvailed to me
1t is my turn, though all in vain,
To long to say ''good- night again.
I see the years stretch on and on,
The children all grown up and gone;
No chamber echoes to their tread,
The last goodnight has long been said!
And by his Preside, desolate,
An old man sits, resigned to wait,
Recalling joys that used to be,
And faces that he may not see.
There fore, what bliss is mine that now
I still can smooth each fair young brow
And feel the arms that clasp me tight,
The lips that kiss the last goodnight

In Fly-Time.

There is no house, however watched and tended,
But flies roam here and there
No place, howe'er so well by screens defended,
These insects do not share!
The air is filed with hummng- buzzing-fying
If they only dead!
The heart of housewife for deverance crying
Would then be comforted.
Let US be patient! These fly-time Affections
For brief space arise,
To disappear amid the maledictions
We care not to disguise.
Where do flies go To chimes where other mortals
Their fl y-papers spread out,
And quickly set wide all the fl trap portals,
The enemy to rout?
Next season finds still
Poor victims in the usual distribution,
A gainst our wish or will.
And though at times, all wearied with vain shifting
And with our lips compressed,
We've sworn to give up all this useless fighting
And give the flies a rest;
We will take courage and dismiss this feeling
Increasingly wage war;
A lifelong battle with the enemy now sealing
Our hatred eYermore.

COOP ADVICE TO GIRLs.-Those
young fellows who stand in front of
public buildings to show their shape,
and those who stand sneaking near
the church or school-house door to
catch a glimpse or catch on as you
start home are not the ones you
should marry, girls. They will do
for you to ruin yourselves with or
split your reputation on, but boys
who have the stuff in them, who make
moral lovers, and desirable husbands,
do not do things that way. If you
have higher aims than rubbing hair
oil marks from the best dress you
wear, or doing double work in after
years for your board, be scarce with
outdoor walters.

Indigestion

I S not only a distressing complaint, Of
1 itself, but, by causing the blood TO
become depraved and the system en-
feebled, is the parent of innumerable
maladies. That Ayers SarsaparilIa
is the best cure for Indigestion, even
when complicated with Liver Complaint,
is proved by the following testimony
from Mrs. Joseph Lake, of Brockway
Centre, Mich: -
Liver complaint and indigestion
made my life burden and came near
ending my existence. For more than
four years suffered untold agony, was
reduced almost to skeleton, and hardly
had strength to drag myself about. All
kinds of food distressed me, and only
the most delicate could be digested at
all. Within the time mentioned several
physicians treated me without giving re-
lief. Nothing that i took seemed TO do
any permanent good until i commenced
the use of Ayers Sarsaparlla, which
has produced wonderful results. Soon
after commencing to take the Sarsapa-
rilla / could see an improvement in my
condition. My appetite began 10 return
and with it came the ability to digest
all the food taken, my strength inn

directions, L found myself a well

duties. The medicine has given me
