Forest Fire. and mosquitoe. in Alaska.

Forest Fires and Mosquitoes In Alaska.
Miles and miles of blackened stumps
marked the ravages of forest fires. The
Indian, when resting on his journey and
suffering from mosquitoes, sets fire to
the twigs and leaves around him, Gre
ating smoke which keeps the pest at
distance, and when refreshed he straps
on his pack and moves along the trail,
of course without extinguishing his fire.
In announcing his approach to friends
at distance, he sets fire to half dead
spruce or tamarack tree, and the column
of thick, black smoke is the signal, to
be acknowledged in the same manner
by those who see it, SO as to direct the
traveller to their camping grounds. In
the summer everything is crisp and dry,
and the timber is saturated with tur-
pentine. The trees left to smolder are
famed into flame by the slightest breeze;
the flames creep among the resinous
trees and spread till whole forests are
destroyed.
These forest fires and the mosquitoes
account for the scarcity Of game. Over
the vast untraveled region that we Wis
tied there was remarkable scarcity of
wild animals. We saw only a few
ground squirrels and some grouse and
ptarmigan. The Indians say that all
the larger animals retreat in summer to
the hilltops, where, exposed to con-
slant breeze, they are free from the tor
ments of insects.-E. ]. Glave in Cen

ARE MusrAcAEs ORNAMENTS,
A Young Woman Writer Discourses or
an Important Part of Man.

A Young Woman Writer Discusses on
an Important Part of Man.
Why do young men take such pride
in their mustaches? 1t is, l suppose, be-
cause they think mustache is orra-
mental. Is it? Why do men have clean
shaven lips when they could grow mus
taches? Andwhy do men wear half a
dozen struggling hairs when they ought
to have them shaved off? Why will men
continue to spend hours every day in
training the hair on their upper lip,
when it doesn't make them look any
more handsome, when it is annoying to
their sweethearts by scratching their
cheeks, when it prevents a cigar being
smoked more than half through, and
when it shows horrid propensity for
getting mixed up with the food?
don't think mustaches are orna-
mental. The ideal mustache has yet
to be invented. 1t must not draggle,
nor be used rs a shield to hide ones bad
teeth, nor be fierce. And oh, it must
not be waxed or leadedl What do men
say of women who use grease? When
you are enjoying spoon don't you think
it takes all the romance out of the thing
by having a nasty, cosmeticized piece of
hair edge its way against your lips2
And isn't it exasperating when your
lover leads his mustache and never tells
you? You go home with your face like
q metropolitan extension map, and feel
very uncomfortable when father and
mother say there have been lot of smuts
about, for your face has got quite dirty
No, mustaches are neither useful nor
ornamental. Were man and capa-
BILE Of growing most luxuriant mus
tache l would cut it off. A clean shaver
man looks much the incest. Girls like
a beardless face. They are content to
know that whiskers and all the rest
could be there if they were wanted.
You see, a man with mustache is
generally bit of fop, and girls don't
like fops If man doesn't keep it
trimmed it gets struggling and ragged;
if he does keep it trimmed then he
appears conceited. He is eternally
twisting it this way, giving it curl
that way, stroking ii and patting it, I'M
til he loses all character for manliness.
Now, a clean shayen man seems to be
dignified. Women love dignity. Why
is it they are always so fond of curates
especially high church-and actors?
Simply because they shave. Women
want in men a smooth, clear cut face
not with great bunch of hair stuck out
under the nose. Whoever heard of the
Greeks having mustaches2 Whoever
saw statue of Greek god with
mustache unless he were an old god and
wore beard as well?
Mustaches are not ornamental, be-
cause they rarely suit the face, because
they are a protuberance and hide the
outline of the mouth, and because, with
a mustache, man is frightened to
laugh, as it disarranges it. Only few
women care for them. Men think all
women do That is Inistake.-"A Fair
Critic" in London Tit-Bits.

did in old times, when such an affection
was commonly observed and was regard
ed as unavoidable.
at is very rare to see person now
adays, whether a man or woman, visi-
bly, disfgured by the absence of teeth.
Anybody whose grinders fall out will in
nearly every case go to dental surgeon
and procure artificial ones. They don't
cost much. You can get a complete
double set from sixteen dollars to sew
enty-ive dollars. Probably fashion
able dentist will charge you the latter
price. His margin of profit is consider
able, inasmuch as the teeth themselves
cost only from fifteen to eighteen cents
apiece. They are made of porcelain, of
kaolin usually, baked in an oven.
''For tho plates the material best APP
proved is rubber. The handsomest
plates are made of celluloid, and they
have the advantage of lightness in
weight, but the celluloid does not resist
well the acids with which it comes into
contact in the mouth. Aluminium has
been tried, but it is affected by vinegar
and salt as well as by other substances
that are eaten, the result being the de-
velopment of salt of aluminium which
is thought to be injurious to the system.
"The enamel of artificial teeth is
composed of metallic oxides, and the
finishing processes to which they are
subjected are so delicate that no two
teeth produced can be made exactly
alike in point of coloring. Among all
the hundreds of thousands of teeth
which we keep in stock probably no two
would match to absolute perfection. But
those that are most nearly alike are put
together so that the eye of nobody but
an expert would detect any difference.
After all natural teeth exhibit marked
dissimilarities in any individual.
sit does not do to make false teeth
look too handsome, lest they appear un-
natural, and dental surgeons commonly
carry their imitation of nature SO far as
to make teeth in many instances look
more or less defective. the better to

Big salss of Hamm,ng birds.

Owing to the reckless slaughter of

certain species are already on the verge
of extinction. This does not seem sur

alone were shipped not long ago from q
Brazilian port in single consignment,
while at a public sale of birdskins, held
in London, March 81, 1888, more than

Why the Gar Went to Kiel.

There is not another place in the
world where tho emperor of Russia
feels so secure and so easy in his mind
as at the court of his father-in-law,
King Christian of Denmark. They were
sitting together on the day of the golden
wedding of the king, when the emperor,
in the exuberance of his feelings of com
fort, said that he wished he could think
of something by which he could give to
his beloved father very great pleasure.
"You could not give me a greater
pleasure" replied the king, ethan
should feel at your resolve to go and pay
a visit to the emperor of Germany"
The czar consented, but he would not
go to Berlin. Thus the meeting at Kiel
was arranged. What all the cleverest
moves of the diplomats of Germany had
failed to accomplish a wise prayer OF
old King Christian thus easily brought
about.-Chicago Times.

or, about 1900 and something;' but the
woman invariably says, About 80 many
years ago, or, 1T was SO many years
after was married.; or, the year after
Teddie was born, and so on"

Columbus' Idea of the World.

Columbus believed the solid part of
the sphere to be larger than the liquid
part, and the distance by the sunset road
between the East Indies and western
Europe to be less than it is.
But in those two capital errors lay the
great incentive to the execution and sue
cess of his purpose. Had he known the
vast planetary spaces covered by the
waters; the continent interposed be-
tween his own Europe and the land of
diamonds, gold and spices; the difficulty
and peril of the passage yet to be brayed
in the far regions of the antarctic pole in
order to sail from our continental ELL
rope to the oriental Indies by the west
ern way, he would perhaps have shrunk
back in alarm and dread.-Emilio Cas-.

movement can hardly be sanctioned, as
the sad scenes which have take place
within its walls make it unsuitable for
place of the kind proposed. That awe

JEDDO NEWS.

The great state of Pennsylvania, which
is noted for its wealth and charitable
institutions, has at last come down to
the humiliating spectacle of sending its
agents, book in hand, begging through
the mines for the sum of fifty cents a
piece from the poor miners who are only
working three days a week. OF course
we are told it is not compulsory, but
such is the case under Markle & Co. at
this place. The object is to improve
and maintain the grounds around the
Hazleton hospital. This method of do
ing business must be mortifying to the
trustees, but if they sanction the move
ment, these agents should be furnished
with crutCh and the usual red bundle,
then send them broadcast over the state
to enlist the sympathy of the entire
public.
Then, perhaps, the lawmakers of this
generous state could be induced to lend
a helping hand where it is needed, in
stead of giving millions to the worlds
fair or spending thousands in protecting
Carnegla's mills. But even this could
hardly save the trustees from censure,
as they should close up the place before
indulging in a begging scheme of such a
character, and wait until they can secure
money more honorably.
That the grounds should be improved
is true, but men who are worth millions,
or representing others who are, to sane
ton such movement, no matter how
good their intentions may be, will only
bring ridicule in the end.
