Strawberries in Alaska.

Alaska has usually been looked upon
as a bleak and distant section of Uncle
Sans domain, where the land was
mostly water, furnishing seals and
salmon, while icebergs and glaciers
adorned wonderfully picturesque land
scapes and waterscapes, the delight of
summer tourists who visit that far
northern cline to enjoy few elongated
days.
Among the arrivals in this city yes
terday was James Cox, who left here for
Chilkat year ago last April with his
family, consisting of his wife and three
children. Mr.. Cox is quite well pleased
with the climate where he was stationed,
the temperature seldom dropping to 10
degs. below zero and occasioning no in
convenience. He had quite nice gar
den last summer, in which he raised fine
getables-turnips, beets, carrots, on
ions and potatoes. He says there is an
old haf-breed woman at Chilcoot mis-
sion, few miles from Chilkat, who has
raised potatoes and vegetables for many
years past. This last season she expert
mented with some strawberries, and sue
ceeded in growing some very fine ones.

carefully pumping the pitcher full with
out spilling a single drop.
''That'l do" said Crane. "Go inside
and get ready for supper; I'll give you a
job in the morning"
About week later the big boned fell
low asked Crane what pumping the
pitcher full of water had to do with his
getting a job.
"Well, I'll just tell you. This is
mighty dry weather. and water is get
ting scarce. You must have thought
that far, for you didn't spill any water.
If you hadn't pumped hard the water
would have been spilled, and if you had
pumped too hard the water would have
gone over the pitcher. Now, the way |
argue is this: If fellow don't pump
hard enough he won't work hard
enough. If he pumps too hard he'll
work too hard for little while, and |
don't want either kind to work for me.
You pumped exactly right, and you got

Drinks from the Slot.

The latest development in the ''penny-
in-the-slot" system is an automatic cof-
fee tavern now on exhibition at Bir1ning-
ham. The purchaser drops in his penny
and pulls out knob labeled with the
drink he desires. Then, by pressing a
tap, he is able to draw the exact guam
tity. There are two plated cups for the
use of customers, and a second tap gives
constant supply OF water for rinsing.
Each reservoir of drink holds seven gal
Ions, and tea and coffee are kept hot by
an unseen gas burner. The automaton
turns the gas out when the reservoir
is exhausted, and displays notice
empty" in front. Iced drinks are to
be sold through the same machines,
which can also be utilized for the sale of
sandwiches, pies and cakes.-London

Seaweed as Food.

To The Scottish Review Mr.. A. H. j.
Crespi contributes an interesting article
upon strange foods. "Seaweed," says Dr.
Crespi, sis eaten on the coasts of Scot
land and Ireland in vast quantities, and
though unpalatable and favorless is at
times the chief food of some of the poor
est. When dry it is richer than oatmeal
or Indian corn in nitrogenous constitu-
ents, and takes rank among the most
nutritious of vegetable foods. Laver is
an exception to the low estimation in
which seaweed is held, and is a favorite
condiment. We have known it eaten in
large quantities in North Devon and
with much relish.
To prepare seaweed for the table it
should be stepped in water to get rid of
the salt with which it is impregnated
and little carbonate of soda removes
the bitter taste, which to some palates
is most disagreeable. 1t should then be
stewed in milk or water till mucilagi-
nous, and is best favored with vinegar or
pepper. Fungi are almost everywhere
largely eaten, though in England less
attention is paid to them than they de-
serve, and few kinds appear at table.
A curious error is to suppose that
fungi are eatable and toadstools poison
Gus. No such line of demarcation exists,
nor, strictly speaking, has the name
toadstool any precise meaning. Very
many fungi are edible, and the common
agaric usually eaten in England is not
the most palatable and wholesome. Few
foods are more savory, and none are
greater favorites, than well cooked fungi,
and the souls of vegetarians yearn for
them

Only a Matter of Form.

"Mr. Kajones," said young Spring
byle, clearing his throat. II have called
to ask permission to pay my addresses
to your daughter"
(Which one, Julius?" inquired Mr..
Kajones.
"Miss Maria, sir"
The father looked fixedly at the young
man.
"What are your prospects in life.
Julius?" he said.
"To tell you the truth, SIR" acknowl-
edged young Springbyle, 81 have no
prospects worth mentioning. 1 am in
moderate circumstances and have no re-
sources except knowledge of my busi-
ness, good health and steady habits"
"Just SO, julius" mused the father.
"Your income, dare say, isl
about ESQ year."
"And on this, my young friend, you
would expect to support yourself and a
young woman who has lived in home
where she has never been used to any
thing like privation, or even judicious
economy"
"It does seem presumptuous for me to
think of it," faltered the youth, "and as
Isee it does not meet your approval p
"Stay, Julius" exclaimed Mr.. Kajones
somewhat hastily, "I only ask those ques-
tions as matter Of form. If you want
Maria, my boy, you can have her!" And
he shook the young man warmly by the
hand.
Mr.. Kajones, it may be proper to state,
has eight unmarried daughters besides
Maria.-London Tit-Bits.

He Was Ingenious.

A lazy boys Sinking of tasks does
not often result SO well as in the case of
W. G. Smith, of Bound Pound, who has
made application for a patent on a milk
ing machine which promises to be a
good thing. He got his ideas when a
boy living on the Meadow Flat Stock
farm" His parents would send him to
milk and he would want to play ball
with the other boys, and as he couldn't
play ball and milk both at the same
time he would put straws in the cows
teats, and they would milk themselves.
Afterward he made improvements on
this plan which resulted in the milker.-

Kicking Horse to His Fellow Indians.

Kicking Horse to His Fellow Indians.
Indian Agent Mclaughlin has given
the Sioux to understand that he will
stand no nonsense in regard to the COM
ing of the Messiah. More than dozen
of the red men now lie in the guard
house for unseemly conduct, and Kick
ing Horse, who claims to have Just re-
turned from heaven, has been ordered to
leave the reservation forever.
Kicking Horse claims to have gone to
heaven through hole in the clouds. He
is cunning enough to mix Christian doc
trine with his prophetic preaching to
make it seem more real. The Great Spirit
told Kicking Horse that his children,
the Indians, had suffered long enough,
and the time had arrived when they
would again occupy the earth so long
held by the whites, but they must not
kill or molest the whites. The Great
Spirit said he himself would wipe out
the white race from the face of the
earth. The Great Spirit told him the
earth was getting full of holes, and
many places were rotten.
He would gradually send wave of
earth twenty feet or more over the coun-
try. 1t would move slowly. The In
dams must keep dancing, so as to keep
on top, and when the wave passed all
the whites would be buried underneath
and the Indians would be ON top. All
the dead Indians would be restored to
life again, and all the buffaloes, horses,
game and all their old hunting grounds
would be as they were hundreds of years
ago, and the Indians would for all time
in the future own and occupy this earth.
All Indians who would not listen to the
words of the prophet and keep dancing
would be turned into fishes and occupy
the rivers and streams
He said that while talking to the Great
Spirit the devil came to them. He de-
scribes the devil as being very tall, with
immense knee joints and monster mouth
and long teeth. He was covered all over
with coarse hair. He asked for half of
the people, meaning the Indians. The
Great Spirit told him no. He asked
again, and the Great Spirit replied,
"You can have none of my chosen In
dian children, but you can have all the
whites. s."-Standing Rock On. d. Cor.

He Got the Job.

Farmer Crane, who lives over on the
town line, has some very unique meth
DDS Of examining the men who apply to
him from time to time for work.
One evening tall, big boned fellow,
in his shirt sleeves, asked Crane if he had
any work to do.
II don't know" said the farmer.
"Can you tend horses?"
Eyes, indeedy. I've worked about
horses all my ife."
"Come around here to'the pump, said
Crane, and he led the way to common
sucker rod pump near the barn. Going
inside he got long, narrow pitcher, and
placed it under the spout. "There,"

rAe BOY WHO MINDS HIS MOTHER.

Doys, Just listen for moment
To q word have to say:
Msnhood's gates are just before you,
Drawing nearer every day,
Bear In mind while you are passing
Ger the intervening span
That the boy who minds his mother
Seldom makes q wicked man.
There are many slips and failures
In this world we're living In;
Those who start with prospects faire&
Oft are overcome by sin;
But I'm certain that you'll notice,
II the facts you'll closely scan,
That the boy who minds his mother
Seldom makes wicked man.
Then be guided by her counsel;
It will never lead astray.
Rest assured she has your welfare
In her thoughts by night and day.
Don't forget that she has loved you
Since the day your life began.

Now the bay began TO melt away.
Ship after ship, a moment ago riding
peacefully at anchor. was swallowed up,
and left not even a ripple, for the water
and the bottom of the sea were likewise
annihilated.
And now, above the ever increasing
roar of the vast black body, | heard
again the "puf- -puf-puf' of the little
steam tug, and looked and saw it
coming at full speed directly toward the
precipice on which | stood. In an in
stant the Thing had oyertaken it, and as
it disappeared, with one last hopeless
scream from its whistle. like the de-
spairing wall of a lost soul, it flashed
over me what this awful catastrophe
that I had been witnessing was. 1t was
the end of the world!
By mighty effort threw myself for
ward, clutching as l fell at tuft of
bunch grass. Barely had time to gasp
out "God help me!' when the awful
Thing, cutting through the cliff as if it
were paper, was upon me. The earth
beneath me gave way, and plunged
headlong down, down, into the blacklist
of darkness, and then all was silent and
blank for space.
A drop of rain on my face aroused me.
Ilay in the soft grass in the middle of a
level meadow that extended on all sides
as far as could see. The setting sun
was firing the western skies, and few
small rain clouds scudded before the
breeze. Hither she came and found me-
and together we returned home.-Frank
