a Model Letter BOE.

All who have suffered the annoyance
of having their morning papers stolen
from the front doorsteps will welcome
the relief which is assured by new
form of letter box. This box is attached
to the inside of the outer or street door
of the store or dwelling. 1t is accessible
from without at all hours, access to it
being gained by means of u swinging
door or gate, which may be made as or
namental as desired, and if necessary
may have the owners name engraved
upon it and serve as doorplate. The
width of this combination doorplate
and letter slot is sufficient tc admit, be-

of merchandise.
The packages, by an ingenious arrange.
,ment, fall behind and below the box into
a receptacle placed there for their &C.
,commodation, and the letters fall direct
~ into the box, which a clever device
guards so completely that the improper
abstraction Of its contents is impossible.

How to Be Healthy, Wealthy and Wise.
Before the days of good lamps, illumi-
mating gas and the electric light there
was much truth in the old rhyme which
enjoined man to be very economical Of
daylight, but nowadays one can be
healthy, wealthy and wise without i'm
stating the habits Of the barnyard
fowl. Outdoor exercise taken in modera-
ton, temperance in eating and drinking,
and sleeping for that matter, too, are
great contributors to health. Wealth
can only be attained by fxedness of pur-
pose. Let man decide that which he
wishes to do and adhere to it, and if he
be not fool in his choice, he will be
pretty sure to get wealth. Having the
ability to get wealth in such legitimate
way he will need no rule for acquiring
wisdom-wisdom will come of its own
accord; and without health neither wis
dom nor a fixed purpose will avail much,
though any observer can mention nota-
BILE exceptions to this rule. But we
should all strive for the whole three, for
Reasons whole pleasure. all the joys Of sense

How to Keen a Pine Sweet.

A pipe should not be smoked too con-
tinu0usly. When Nowlful of tobacco
has been burned up the pipe should be
taken apart, the bowl cleaned, the stem
swabbed out with straw or wire and
the joints wiped free of nicotine. If
this be always done the pipe will never
get strong or foul. This is deal of
trouble, but good smoke is worth some
pains. A good plan for an inveterate
pipe smoker is to have a pipe for each
day in the week. One for Mondays, one
for Tuesdays and so on. In this way
each pipe has a weeks rest, and if each
one is cleaned before its vacation the pipe
smoker will get delight from his pipes
which he never realized before.

Cold In Alaska.

my experience with Alaskan winters
was rather Disappointing" said a men,
Der of the Alaskan boundary survey.
1.-THE greatest degree of cold we expe-
rienced was 90 degs. below zero, and that
was when Mr.. Turner extended his trip
north along the boundary line to the
Arctic sea. From what traders and
missionaries told us of previous years it
would seem that the winters of 1880,
1890 and 1901 were exceptionally mild.
even at the low temperature of this
region the growth of vegetation is sur
prisingly rapid, but as there are only
three months of growing weather this
can be easily accounted for. / found
grasses six feet high along the Yukon
and Porcupine lowlands-a more re-
markable fact when You consider that
the Porcupine extends many miles above
the Arctic circle. There were also salm-
on berries, blueberries, currants and
raspberries in profusion and hundreds of
acres of cranberries. OF the latter fruit
the Indians store large quantities for
winter food.
"When the work Of tracing and estab-
fishing the boundary was completed the
party set up monument of rough stones,
about twelve feet high, as a visible mark
of the dividing line between American
and British possessions. Of course there
is check on this in the shape of Sc
curely concealed stone, properly marked,
at the head Of the base line, near the
main station. When we were about to
break camp it occurred to me that no
photograph of the monument had been
taken, so took camera and sighted it
and then climbed on top of the rocks
and had curious native shoot the ma

How to Keep the Finger Nails in Order

How to Keep the Finger Nails in Order.
1t is a very bad habit to scrape the
finger nails either on the out or inside
with the blade of knife. When there
is dirt under the nails it should be re-
moved with the nails Of the other hand,
with an ivory nail cleaner or even an or
binary wooden toothpick. But never
use a steel knife blade. 1t breaks the
skin of the nail, and then dirt catches and
adheres despite every effort. If the nails
be left hard and the skin undisturbed an
ordinary washing of the hands will clean
them thoroughly. Don't bother with
manicures. They do more harm than
good, for they destroy the enamel of the
nails. In trimming the nails, whether
with knife or scissors, be sure that the
instrument is sharp, so that it will make
clean cut. Do not trim down into the
quick, and never under any circum-
stance bite the nails. Children contract
ing this habit should be broken of it,
even though frequent applications of the
rod be necessary. If you get in the
habit of staining your nails with ink, get
a shallow inkstand or see that the, one. in
use has only a small quantity OF ink in it.

How to Deal with Case of Poisoning.
Salt and mustard are the great reliance

the danger of oyerdosing is practically
nothing. Another reason is that they
