ALASKA.
But Little Known of Our Arctic Pro
vince.

For many years public interest has
centered around the most remote of our
possessions, and many are the tales re-
lated Of the wonders of Alaskan scenery.
Examining all the data extant to-day,
very little is found outside the beaten
tracks-that is, those portions where the
tourist steamers yearly go. If you look
in an ordinary Gazetteer" the result of
your search will be that Alaska covers
about FIVE hundred and eighty thousand
square miles. is rich in minerals and fur
bearing animals, has large fishing inter
ests, immense snowy peaks and huge
glaciers. The charts show its coast line in
a general way, but the interior is almost a
blank.-From mt. ST. Elias and It's Gla-
ciers, by M. B. Kerr, in March Scribner.

What a Lady Should Not Do.

Make an engagement and then fail to
be on hand in time. Discuss family mat
ters IN public, or complain of the family
to comparative strangers. Wear a glove
with a rip In it, w1en a few moments
work would remedy it. Believe the worst
rather than the best side Of a story. Fret
about the weather as too cold, too hot, or
the like. Consume more of busy per-
son S time than is actually necessary. Fail
to acknowledge little kindnesses, for
"Little deeds of kindness, little words of love.
Make our earth an Eden, like to that above

Waste in Overfeedius.

Overlooking is detrimental to complete
digestion and it is a waste of food. While
heavy feeding is the universal recommen-
dation if large yield is to be secured, yet
it would be well to pause and consider the
fact that the powers of an animal may be
overtaxed land its digestion impaired.
Regularity of feeding and the allowance OF
a safficiency should be observed, but
nothing can be gained by going beyond
the limit of the capacity of the animal.
Il is safe to claim that disease is more
frequently the result of overlooking than
from any other cause.

Silver Spangled Ham burss.

The Hamburgs are, as egg producers,
equal to any and are excellent for the table,
having a full meaty breast, which is
juicy, fnegrained and tender. The Ham
burgs are hardy, standing our winters
well. and having rose combs, are not
troubled With frosty combs. When it
comes to beauty there is nothing that can
surpass the spangiod or.pencil Hamburgs,
and there are few varieties if any, that will
afford a fancier more solid comfort, pleas
ure and profit, than pen of pure, high
class hambergs.

Strawberries.

Never set plants on dry, windy day if
it can be avoided.
Plant early, medium and late varieties,
so as to prolong the season.
To set an acre Of Strawberries, 4 feet
by Is inches apart, requires 1850 plants.
And, if 81 feet by Is inches, $500 plants
are needed
Allow no weeds a chance to grow, re-
membering that the space belongs to
the strawberry led, and all else must be
excluded.
Tan bark is the best material with
which to mulch, and it should be applied
just before the fruit begins to ripen. This
not only keeps the fruit clean but prevents
the ground from drying out and proIongs

Microbes in Milk.

I Scientists state that there are no mi
crobes in milk when it comes from the
cows udder, but that the moment it
comes in contact with the air of filthy
stable, or even where the surroundings
are clean, the microbe enter the milk.
This demonstrates that when young ami
mails procure their milk from the DAM
instead Of being allowed milk to drink,
they are less liable to disease. The pre-
caution OF heating the milk mot boiling
it, should be used when giving it to very
young stock.

Ice in Butter ". n king.

Perhaps the most valuable lessons learn
ed in the dairy world during 1890, says the
Jersey Bulletin, were taught by the failure
of the ice crop of last winter. Creameries
and many large diaries had become so az
customed to plentiful supply of ice that
they had come to think they could not get
along without it. But experiment and
experience have discovered that by diluting
fresh milk Is per cent. with either warm
Or cold water the time of cream rising
may be so much reduced as practically to
do away with the necessity of using ice for
creaming milk. The lesson is of great
value and has already been the means of
saving many dollars, and rightly used,
may be the means of saving more We
do not know of any carefully conducted
experiments bearing upon the point, but
from the few observations made ourselves
we are inclined to think that those who
have Dnade really good butter without the
use of ice will find that it keeps sweet
longer and stands up better when exposed
TO the air than butter made with ice.
When ice Is abundant it is apt to be used
too freely, and the milk, cream and butter
be made too cold. Whether or not dilut-
ing the milk has any influence on the
churnability Of the cream, remains to be
tested.
This life is a scene of variety which soon
passes away, and affords 40 solid satisfac-
ton, bnt in the consciousness of doing
well, and in the hopes of another life; this
is what can say upon experience, and
what you will find to be true, when you
come to make up the account. So said
John Locke
In what little, low, dark cells of care and
prejudice, W thout one soaring thought or
melodious fancy do poor mortals forever
creep! And yet the sun sets to-day as
gloriously bright as it ever did on the
temples of Ath ms, and the evening star
rises as heavenly pure as it did on the eye
of Dantel

DO you wish to know the quickest
way TO cure severe cold? We will tell
you. To cure cold quickly. it must be
treated before the Geld hiss become set
tied IN the system. This can ALWAYS be
done II you choose to, as nature in her
kindness to man gives timely warning
and plairly tells you in natures wav,
that as a punishment for some indiscre
ton, you are to be afflicted with a cold
unless you choose to ward it off by
prompt action. The first symptoms of a
cold, IN most cases, is a dry. loud cough
and sneezing. The cough is soon fol>
lowed by profuse watery expectoration
and the sneezing by profuse watery dis
charge from the nose. In severe cases
there is thin white coating on the
tongue. What to do? 1t is only neces-
sary to take Chamberlain Cough Rem
edy in double doses every hour. That
will greatly lessen the severity of the cold
and in most cases will effectually counter
act 1t, aad cure what would have been a
severe cold within one or two days time
