The Census Bureau has at last issued
a bulletin showing the population of
Alaska, tic portion Of the United States
in which the enumeration WAS most de-
laycd by natural difficulties. The
bulletin Is more remarkable for its
nomenclature than for its statistics.
Only 3l195 person, Of all races and
colors were found in the vast extent OF
the great northrra Territory, aud Of this
total 23,214 we're Indians, Iucluling the
Esqaimau tlibcs, and only 1903 were
white, the remainder being half breeds,
Chinese, etc. In the matter of pretty,
flowing names, however, Alaska does
not take second place for any part OF
this great and glorious country. FIT.

settlement somewhat remarkable for
having more inhabitants than there are

logtogpa lamute boasts twenty residents,
aud therefore enjoys the same proud dis

THE WORLDS FAIR.

THE Congressman who inspected the Worlds
Fair buildings, at Chieago, were so pleased
with what they saw that it is said nine out of
ten of them favor an appropriation for the
Fair. The visitors, however. comprise only
about one-fourth the membership of Congress.
A PUBLIC meeting held in the Hall of the
House of Representatives at Hartford, Conn,
pledged $50 900 for Connecticut's exhibition
Mt the Worlds Fair. Governor Buckley
presided, and it was decided to appoint a
Board of Commissioners, two from each
county and equally divided politically, to
manage aflirs
A PROPOSITION which, If adopted, will no
doubt increase the attendance of militia
organizations at the Worlds Fair, is put for
ward in bill introduced in the House by
Representative Powers, of Vermont. 1t make
it lawful tor any railroad or transportation
company in the United States to make special
rates for the transportation of military organ
izations, with their equipages, TO the Fair,
commissioning anything in the interstate
commerce act TO the contrary.
PRESIDENT PALMER, of the Worlds Fair
National Commission, said to a reporter, that
the Exposition management will obtain an
appropriation from Congress If it can. All We
need, he said, is Tor Congress to realize the
necessity for the money in the light the
Exposition management sees il. If Congress
gives the money the management will see
that it is not squandered. II hsmpered by

WORDS OF WISDOM.

Il is not how much we have, but how
much we enjoy, that makes happiness.
If you lave Jonah among your

lies is that as soon as they are uttered
they stop being idle.
There are few defects in our nature SO

There is much that is birdlike about

thinks he is above the average.

A Picture in a Horses Eve,


Some rare and unaccountable freak of
nature has made a natural wonder of an
unassrmiug white horse at Spokane
Falls, Washington. The wonder is not
the horse himself, but in picture which
covers the front part of the left eye of
the animal. Anyone who has ever had
the pleasure of visit to Spokane will
remember the falls which give the city
its other name; that Is, the name of
Spokane Falls. The picture in the
horses eye is a perfect miniature Of the
falls, island, mill a11 all The animals
optic has been examined by hundreds of
persons, including photographers,
scientists, opticians, etc, and the
miniature in the eye has been carefully
compared with photographs and engrav-
ings of the falls, and all have concurred
in prououncing it wonder of wonders
and most remarkably correct picture
The owner of this wonderful creature,
a Mr.. Deakin, has been offered all the
way from $1,000 to $4,000 for his
curiosity, but so far he has refused all
offers, seeming to prefer being pestered
to death by sight-seers, who come by the
thousands to view the uucanny picture
and ask questions.
A traveller, C. A. Dillman, who took a
peep at the wonder Of the wonder of
the Rockies" last summer, has the
following to say in regard to the horse
and the picture:
"Mr. Deakin sent the horse around to
the hotel where l stopped, in order that
might see him. The animal is white
in color, and of medium size. was
somewhat sceptical about the story of
the picture until had looked into the
horses left eye. Judge of my astonish.
ment when saw therein depicted a per-
feet reproduction of the falls of the
Spokane River, as true to life as any
photograph" -
The part of the falls shown is from
the water works across to the mills The
island upon which the water works
buildings stand is also shown. The
picture is absolutely perfect in every de.
tail. The horse is one of a number
bought in by horse dealers, and has been
the property of the present owner (who,
by the way, was the discoverer OF the
plcture) but short while st. Louis

Muscle Without Meat.

The generally accepted idea as to
meat eating being indispensable to Dhysi.
cal welfare is confuted by hundreds of
reports of personal experience, several OF
them appearing in Food, Home and Gar
den. A Michigan vegetarian's wife says
her husband is ''strong as Samson, and
doesn't know what it is to be sick. !"
Another correspondent, "a vegetarian
for forty years." although advanced in
life, sis exceedingly active aud healthy"

writes third; among other advantages
he finds that of more freedom from rheu-
matism. A second instance of this pain
full disease is noted as due to ''voracious
appetite for meat" The most interest
ing case Is reported by Mrs. II. S. Like,
Norwich, Conn, whose family bill of
fare consists mostly of fruit, vegetables
and bread of entire wheat four-no
other kind has been used on her table in
five years, and under this system her
health is steadily improved. What she
says further-in the appended excerpt
shows that such diet is amply sufficient,
even under the double demand for sup.
port and growth;
"My son is seventeen, weighs $50
pounds, is six feet tall, we'll proportioned,
