Wooded Areas of Somber Green-Mat-
tings of Moss--Arctic Tangle Growth.
Nowhere in the regions north of the dense
tropical tangle growth is there a more thickly
wooded and brushed" part of the world
than some of these areas of southern Alaska.
The country might well be considered noun
famous, although few Of the elevations aver
age above s, 900 TO 1000 feet; still the incline
from the very waters edge is generally so
steep to the very top that no one disputes
giving it an Alpine character as the most
faithful one to describe it. All these steep
hillsides are we'll covered with an evergreen
growth of Sitka spruce that is the most SOM
Der green l have ever viewed. 1t is doleful
enough at any time, but when coupled with
the dreary transforms so common in this part
of the territory in the fall, winter
and spring months--one must have the spir-
its of Mark Tapley to keep from suffering
from the bluest of the "blues.n
The reflections of these deep green forests
give the fiord-lSe waterways a Plutonic
shade of greenish black that makes one feel
that if he ever fell overheard from the vessel
he would keep sinking in the cold, dark
waters for the next three weeks, and not be
sure Of the bottom then. Going ashore, the
Travellers idea of the density of the forest is
increased rather than the reverse, as would
be expected; and he finds added to the ever
green growth, the top of which he could only
see when on the water, dense, deciduous
growth underneath that makes walking la
borious and difficult in the extreme.
Over all this again is a heavy mat
ing of moss that clings to everything
that would give it the least hold. The
fallen trunks of trees do not seem to decay
and pass away, but keep accommodating, prob
ably for ages, until they have piled up mass
of felled timber from yard to ten feet deep
and all covered by treacherous carpet of
moss. The topmost trunks may be indicated
to the eye by a ridge of moss; but let the
pedestrian step aside from this and there is
no telling where he viii bring up as he sinks
into the moss up to his middle or armpits,
probably his toes tipping another trunk far
below.
Add to this the steep ascents on which all
this tangle growth is found, and it forms
about as effective a barrier to travellers
progress as any in the known world. 1t Is
for this reason that miners prospecting is so
Intellectual in this part of Alaska, otherwise
80 very accessible. Ten feet of snow could
not be more effective in hiding outcropping
lodges and indications of precious lodes from
prospector's eyes. In some places avalanches
have swept down the steep mountain sides,
laying the ground bare in narrow windows,
and it is generally along these that most of
the successful mine hunting is done. --Freder-
ick Schwatka-

Diamond buyers are becoming more nu-
merous every day, and, as eacel is obliged to
rely largely upon his own judgment in pur-
chasing, a few practical suggestions may
prove helpful to many, especially since the
abandonment of the old method (which was
in vogue for 100 years. of obtaining the
weight of a stone. 1t was to square the
weight of the stone and then multiply by the
value of a one carat stone of the same quality.
That is, if one carat were worth 800, two
carat stone was worth 2x2x1O0-$400, or a
four carat stone 4x4xl0O, equal to 81 800.

Great kitchen AZ windsor castle.

The holidays bring a wealth of work for
the cooks at Windsor. The kitchen, on the
north side of the castle, is fitted deliberately
enough to delight the heart even of Careme.
The apartment is nearly fifty feet in height,
and has an enormous fire at either end, with
a system of splits after the fashion of univer~
sity kitchens. As an ordinary staff there are
a chef de cuisine, two master cooks, two
larderers, five scourers, one steam man and
three kitchen maids, besides apprentices and
serving men. The number of dinners that
can be cooked in this kitchen is simply mar
velous Every detail of the arrangements is
worked out with the greatest care, the dishes
being handed straight to the footmen from
the cooks, and by them conveyed to the vari-

The Famous Cashmere Gate.

Near my hotel is the famous Cashmere
Gate-world-famed in connection with the
brilliant exploit Of the little forlorn hone
that on the morning of Sept IA, 1857,
succeeded, in the face of deadly fusilade
from the walls and the wicket gates, in car
rying bags Of gunpowder and blowing it up
Through the opening thus effected poured
the eager troops that rescued the city from
ten times their own number Of mutineers, and
turned the beams OF the scale in which the
fate of the whole Britsh-Indian empire was
at the moment balanced. Perhaps in all the
worlds battles, no more heroic achievement
was ever attempted or carried out than the
blowing up of the Cashmere Cate. ''Salkeld

deadly fire from the open wicket not ten feet
distant; be was instantly shot through the
arm and leg and fell back on the bridge,

Carmichael then advanced, took up the port

One of the first places to which the sight

round goes the orange in true corkscrew
style, until it finally disappears beneath tho
bunch of feathers which grows on the chust

There is no end to the ostrich capacity.
One man, curious to see how much a bird
would eat, selected one, and after gathering
from the surrounding trees number az
oranges, proceeded to feed his bird He gave
him thirty-six oranges, nearly filed the long,
slender throat, SO that the animal finally

"How do you account for thisF'

fortunes in the street vending business, have
gone back to Italy and Sicily and started

two or three weeks the frequent storms have
cost the theatres thousands of dollars, as
every one means the destruction of all the
paper that is exposed The average cost of
billing first class show is between $500 and
500. This is assuming that there are no
transforms. When the paper is washed away
by storm the expense must be repeated.
Chow do you arrive at your fguresln was

Each theatre in the town sends out on the
average about =, 900 autographs for window
work. These Autographs are worth from
three to fifteen cents each. About thirty or
forty of the big stands which run from
seven to twenty sheets EACH are put out,
and these cost anywhere from seventy-five
cents to 50 each. BY sheet | mean the
sections of the big posters that go to make up
the whole picture or the name of the play in
six foot letters The sheets measure two and
a half by three and half feet. Each house
generally posts about 500 three sheet bills.
They cost according to the number of colors
used Single color bills cost $40 a hundred,
and bills of different colors cost about $40 a
hundred. The boards for one sheet bills, that
are stood along the sidewalk in front of stores,
cost $50 hundred, and must be renewed
every week. Each theatre sends out about
200 week. The half sheet and quarter sheet
hangers cost $40 thousand. They are dis
