Fertile Alaska.

The nature of the whole lano can be
roughly divided into three conditions:
Snow and ice fields bury the coast range
and choke up every hollow; to the i'm
mediate north the valleys are rocky and
barren, but the vast interior beyond is
richly clothed in luxuriant vegetation.
The scientific authorities theoretically
mapped out giant ice fields as spreading
over the entire land from the FAIR
weather and Mount St. Elias ranges
north almost to the valley of the Yukon.
Colossal heights mantled in never.
melting SHOWS tower thousands OF feet
in the air, but within the shadow Of
these mighty uplandt, in the sheltered
hollows beneath, lie immense valleys
carpeted in richest grasses, and grace
fully tinted with wild flowers. Here in
the summer a genia! cline is found,
where strawberries and other wild fruits
ripcn to luxuriance, where there are four
and half months of summer and seven
and half of winter. In June and July
the sun is lost below the horizon only for
a few hours, and the temperature,
though chilly at night, has an average of
sixty-6ve degrees in the daytime

have been patented, bus the Government
does not care to buy them. The labor
of locking sixty sacks and dragging
their heavy weight along to pile them up
ready for dumping is itself a big job,
aud as fast as hooks are emptied new
pouches must be spread open on them to
receive more mail.
Registered packages are treated with
unoounded p1ecaution. Every man who
receives one in its transit must examine
its condition and then give receipt to
the last man, make out and forward one
for himself, keep special record of it
in book provided for the purpose and
include it in his trip report. He is re-
quired to keep receipt for it for five
years, as in tracing lost one every re-
ceipt must be shown until the response.

Treatment of Earache.

There are simple remedies for most
common disorders requiring no skilled
attention, and even experts arc ofetn
willing to give away cures that anybody
can manage. No doubt many people
have thanked the man who published
without patent this easy relief for the
earache:
81 am afraid have greatly inter'ered
with my own practice" said a cele-
brated artist, "by giving the following
advice to many of my friends:
"At the first symptoms of earachc let
the patient lie on the bed with the pain
full ear uppermost. Fold thick towel
and tuck it around the neck; then with
a teaspoon fill the ear with warm water.
''Continue doing this for fifteen or
twenty minutes. The water will I'LL the
orifce and flow over on the towel.
Afterward turn over the head, let the
water run out and plug the ear with
warm glycerine and cotton.
"This may be done every hour until
relief is obtained. It is an almost in
variable cure and has saved many cases
of acute Inflammation. The water
should be quite warm, but not too hot"

placed to one side in the distribution and
have to be s'worked'' in the letter case.
This case has innumerable pigeon holes,
each one labeled for town or mail
route, and there again the accurate
knowledge of every burg in the State is
required; for all those letters must De
separated, examined and posted in the
case without the slightest delay. Subse-
quently they are again tied into bundles
and thrown into sacks for their destina-
ton.
Errors are rigidly checked against
every clerk and he never ceases to study
and improve himself. Sometimes peo.
pie write horrible address or only half
one; perhaps there are several towns
of one name in State or similar names
in different States and the State is left
out, OF again new town springs up in a
night. These worry the poor clerk to
death. Then there are the ''nixies."
These are letters addressed to places that
do not exist, papers and parcels from
which labels have become detached,
bundles unwrapped and the address des-
troyed aud many other things.
All of these are punched and sent to the
nearest main division Office marked
"nixies" and perhaps reported to their
senders, as it is impossible to tell where
they are to 60.
Another convenience to people IS the
car drop" where love letter, still
warm and perhaps still throbbing, is
deposlted-maybe because just finished,
and maybe so that the young local post
master in a village wont know who is
corresponding with whom. These let
tiers must be kept out as fast as they fall.
The stamps have to be "killed and me
letters distributed Immediately. Each
road has different stamp, so that re-
ceiving Offices know who handled that
mail.
Of course the small stations occur at
very short intervals, and the consequence
is continued jumping about of the
clerk to land things on time. After the
first big receipt of mail is worked up the
sacks from these stations keep coming
along and intervals are very short.
However, rests come once in while:
and then a portion of the trip report
embracing every transaction is written
up, or lot Of sacks are tied
and locked. The lock that Uncle
Sam uses is very cumbersome and slow,
often vexing the clerk more than the
mail itself. A number of new devices

COWards In the Dark.

young man," said an Englishman the
other day, " and was stationed for some
time in India. Our Colonel, an old
campaigner who had won his spur in
the Crimea, became involved in diff
Guilty with fellow officer, and duel
was the result. The Colonel, being the
challenged party, selected pistols as the
weapons and elected that the affair
should occur in darkened room. We
secured room twenty feet square, closed
every crevice that would admit light,
placed our men in corners diagonallY op-
posite and withdrew. Each man was
provided with three charges and when
these were exhausted we rushed in to
gather up the mutilated remains. Each
man stood erect and soldier-like in the
corner untouched. but directly behind
the head of the Colonel's opponent were
the three bullet boles made by the
Colonel's pistol. 'How is this'2 said a
grizzled old Major. Had you been
standing here when those shots were
fred you would have been killed The
culprit was compelled to admit that he
had dropped to one knee. You are
coward, sir, and unfit for the company
of soldiers and gentlemen snorted the
Major. Hold on, Major said the
Colonel. 1t is stand off. While he

out among the locks. This couture ex-
cites the astonishment of all travellers
who see it. Coquetry is the privilege
of the sex under the tropics as we'll as in
civilized lands, and the women arc very
proud of their headdress. The arrange
ment of their hair requires a number OF
days, and, while it is in progress, or
when ttey fear that it will be disar-
ranged, they cover the hair with finely
woven net of wood fibre. Ivory needles,
handsomely carved, keep the arrange
ment in position and give it, some ez-.
plorers say, truly artistic aspect.
Among the sakkaras the women
twist their hair into fat braids, which
are literally covered with cowrY shells
or beads, aud the ends are then gathered
above the head, forming sort of bon
net. The whole is drenehed literally
with palm oil and sprinkled with red
powder. At night the women go to
sleep with their necks resting in con-
cavity that has been dug out Of small
log, thus keeping their headwear from
touching anything and thereby being
disarranged. Sometimes this uncom-

The natives of the lower Congo wear
their kinky hair short, and women and
men grease it with palm oil and sprinkle
over it the red powder Of cam wood.
They often shave the head with little
knives, which they whet upon the palms
of their hands. When the women have
lost parents they have q singular Gus.
tom. They mix powdered charcoal with
oil and plaster the hair with this iugredi-
ent, having previously divided their
locks into many little braids. The effect
is that of lot of black, stiff sticks
growing on their heads, and is anything
but pleasing.
On the upper Congo the natives give
a great deal more imagination and labor
to the arrangement OF their headdress.
Some of them, however, like the Ban
gala, keep their heads closely shaved,
except for little tufts of hair on top and
at the sides. On the middle Mobangi
River the natives also shave their heads.
This is a very general custom among
cannibal tribes. Not all cannabals on
the Congo shave their heads, but it is
certain that all tribes which follow this
practice are cannibals. York Sun.

turn it with. The mail at by station
is done up in special sack, strapped in
the middle to make it narrow wasted,
so as to slip way into the catcher and not
fall, and is hung on scatfolding by
means of turning hooks, which arc placed
in rings at both ends of the pouch.
When the catcher is turned horizontally
-one tine, as it were, sticks out, and
the narrow part of the sack slides up into
the crutoh, when the catcher hits it,
sometimes sticking SO hard that it is diff
fcult to remove it.
Mail received on the route has to be
opened and distributed instantly, as there
may be something for the very next sta
ton, and where the train runs fast it re-
quires some lively work to get the pouches
ready.

wonderful elasticity, are undoubtedly
the blades of Damascus.
The sabre of Japan, though as hard as
a diamond, with an edge so acute that
it will go through pillow or poker
as if it were air, cannot compete with
the old Syrian swords, because it has no
elasticity. This elasticity is not alto

Swords have been made during the
present century in Russia that rivaled in
edge and bending qualities the famous
Damascus blades. At the imperial fac
tory of Ziatoust, In the Urals, some have
been turned out which bend till the
point touches the hilt, and which would
also cut through an iron bar. More than
this no blade has ever done, or can do.

A Cluca Made of Flowers.

A. little masterpiece OF mechanism, and
at the same time a model of garden dec
Grafton, is the floral clock which decor
atcs the garden OF an ingenious Partisan.
The appearance of this oldest of time
pieces is shown in the accompanying cut.
The dial, which is not less than thirty
feet in diameter, is composed entirely OF
choice plants of various colors. The
hands, which actually move over the
face of the clock, are made in the same
manner, and the whole effect of the
arrangement Is that of an immense bas-
ket of flowers. The mechs nism which
drives the hands is lodged in large
chamber built in the garden immedi-
ately beneath the dial. It is composed
of the usual machinery employed in oo-

The Grant Triulcts.

The well-known Grant triplets, of
Torrington, Conn, Matthew A., Daniel
A. and William A. Grant, reached their
seventy-frst birthday anniversary on
Friday.
The three were born on September %,
1921, in an old two-story farmhouse in
The centre of Torrington, and must have
been strong and healthy children, for
they have had hardly day of sickness
in their lives.
William and Daniel look much alike,
and are very often mistaken one for the
other, but Matthew is of d little differ
ent type, being shorter and more thick
set. They all have light-gray eyes,
white hair, and bronzed and weather
beaten countenances, and look uncom-
monty well for men seventy-one years
old.

ranged on both sides, are the racks for
pouches, with thirty hung up in each,
and box-shaped receptacle is arranged
to slide along on ways between the two
racks, so that they can get at either end
readily to throw mail. 1t can be lifted
out when not in use. Into this box the
contents of every sack are dumped. All
of those sixty pouches, strung open
mouthed in the racks, are labeled for
every town or city, be it great or small,
along the route with others named fer
roads and still others for destinations far
beyond California. Now those clerks
must inspect every paper, parcel and
bundle of letters, for letters are sorted
at the main Office and many of them tied
in punches for different towns, for
which they are labeled, and throw it
into the correct pouch as fast as he can
work.

clerk and postman, to the rushing special
mail trains-grabbing and distributing
the pouches as they tear along at sixty
miles an hour, and with nearly 1000
railway mail clerks working like bea-
,vers to land the mail on time, has come
30 gradually that man, woman and child
regard it as q matter OF course, ,and rarely
stop to wonder how it all happens.
Through the courtesy of A. H. Mer-
rill, Assistant Superintendent OF hall
way Mail Service for this, the Eighth
Division, Chronicle representative was
permitted few days ago to ride with
the mail to Sacramento and return to
this city, and watch the whole progress
of newspapers. business and love letters
from their authors to the happy recipi-
ents. At the Oakland mole great pile
of at least thirty pouches and tie sacks
was thrown into the Car, and those not
being "worked" were piled in corner
ito make room for an installment OF
twenty more that were loaded in at Six
teenth street. The mail clerk on this
particular day Sunday was fortunate
enough to have the assistance of another
clerk, who was enjoying a rest OF i've
days after a five days run, as the un-
usual weight of Sundays big paper mail
required two men. Both boarded the
train an hour before it started to work
up the first installment of mail. They
had each a pair of overalls on, sleeves
rolled to their elbows, aud before the
train started the persp:ration streamed
from their brows.
