he, that cannot be successfully grown in this

Resources of Civilization,

The innocent residents of Alaska
have caught on to all the tricks of o re-
fined civilization. In Illustration of
this fact the San Francisco Chronicle
relates that not many years ago they
used to take half dollars, hammer them
out very thin and manufacture them
Into bracelets. These curios were sold
1Dr dollar and half and two dollars
at the most When steamer loads of
tourists commenced going to Alaska in
the summer they bought up the brace
lets as fast as they were made. The
naaive Alaskan saw fortunes In store
for him. The bracelets could not be
made fast enough to supply the de-
mand, and he formed a sort Of syndi-
cate with his brothers. This syndicate
ssut to San Francisco and had hundreds
OF these bracelets manufactured and re-
shipped to Alaska. There they arc re-
tailed to the guileless excursiouists at
eight or nine dollars q pair.

cokoENlAL SPIRITS.

An Essential to Happiness in the Mar
riage Relation.
A certain sort Of talent, Robert Louis
Stevenson writes, Is almost indispensa-
bic for people who would spend years
together and not bore themselves to
death. Bnt the talent, like the agree
ment, must be for and about life. To
dwell happily together they should be
persed In the niceties Of the heart and
born with q faculty for willing COM
promise. The woman must be talented
rs a woman. and It will not much mat
eer although she is talented In nothing
eise. She must know her meter de
4emme, and have fine touch for the
affections. And 1t Is more important
shat person should be good gossip
and talk pleasantly and smartly Of COM
mon friends and tbe thousand and one
Things of tie day and hour, than that
she should speak with the tongues Of
men and angels; for awhile together
with the fire happens more frequently
In marriage than the presence Of dis
tinguished foreigner to dinner. That
people should laugh over the same sort
ID jests, and have many story Of
rgrouse in the gun-room," many an old
Joke between them which time can not
wither nor custom stale, is better
preparation for life, by your leave, than
many other things higher and better
sounding in the worlds ears You could
read Kant by yourself, II you wanted;
but you must share joke with some
one else. You can forgive people who
do not follow you through philoso-
Phical disquisition; but to find your wife
langhing when you had tears In your

BRAZILIAN PEBBLE.

II Makes No Better Lens Than . Good
Quality Of Glass.
What Is called Brazilian pebble Is
often nothing but fine quality Of
glass, says the St. Louis Globe-D Demo
crat. The real Brazilian pebble is q
kind Of rock crystal, found in many
parts OF the world, but In great pro-
fusion in Brazil, and hence the name.
There is pet superstition that the
brazilian pebble glasses preserve the
sight, but no solid foundation for it
exists. Fine glass is every whit as good
and costs far less on account OF the
labor and care required to grind the
crystal to the proper shape.
The only real advantage the crystal
lenses have over those Of glass is in the
hardness Of the material, which rem
ders them much less liable to become
scratched and 50 dimmed, but other
wise the glass is as good. There are
several tests by which to distinguish
the genuine pebble from the glass imi-
tation. but the most easily applied Is
that OF touch. The real pebble win
feel far colder to the finger or tongue
than the glass, so much so that after
touching glass lens and then one Of
crystal any one viii be able to detect
the difference.
