TANNING HUSBANDS IN ALASKA.

Curious Methods Adopted in Settling
Family and NeighboThoOd 0uarreis
alaskan women" said Judge
Sheakley, who was for five years
United States commissioner at Alaska,
to Washington Star representative,
have way Of bringing their hus-
bands to time which IS very effective.
They do not fling fat-irOns and rolling
pins or give curtain lectures, but re-
tire TO 4 corner, neglect their house
hold duties and sulk, refusing to say
word. \ few days OF this treatment
generally brings the husband around.
The women in Alaska also have an odd
way of quarreling. They do not pull
hair or resort to fsticrtfs, but after
having given each other a severe
tongue flashing they retire to their
homes. Alaskans are divided up into
families, such as the Bear. Crow and
Deer families. These families take
cognizance Of quarrels and feuds result.
After the quarrel Mrs. Bear viii retire
to her house. tear up her clothing and
two or three blankets and then send
word to Mrs. Eagle. her enemy. 1t
thereupon becomes incumbent upon
Mrs. Earle to destroy a greater amount
Of clothing and more blankets of her
own than Mrs. Bear. BY pursuing
this peculiar process she evens things
M IN the quarrel. II she did not do 50
she would be disgraced in the eyes of
her relatives and opposite tribes. The
women are great traders, carry the
purse and manage things generally. II
the husband makes a bad bargain in
trading his wife ridicules him"

NEW USE FOR 4 DOG.
Big Newfoundland Trained by It's
Owner TO steal smaller CANNES.

A Big newfoundland Trained by Its
Owner TO steal smaller CANNES.
Gabe Weston, a faro dealer rooming
on Kearney street. near Washington,
san Francisco. is the possessor Of two
silky Scotch terriers. He has had the
little animals for several years, and in
that time the pride of possession deep
ened into genuine affection. The little
dogs. Mac and Minnie. were brought
to this country when puppies by one OF
West0n's friends. Every morning Wes-
ton takes his dogs on short ramble
through the streets, and the other
morning entered Union square. Wills
the owner was pacing up and down the
gravel walk enjoying a cigar the dogs
ran around in the grass. Weston no.
ticAd a suspicious-looking stranger pat
''Mac" on the head and then walk
away. looking back at intervals with
beguiling smile, "a though to coax the
dog TO follow him. Mae" however,
did not bulge. 4 bout fifteen minutes
after the stranger went away big
Newfoundland dog came bounding into
the park and commenced shifting
about the terriers Suddenly the big
dog seized Mac" in his mouth and
darted away Weston gave chase and
being somewhat OF Splinter he
pressed SO hard on the Newfoundland
that the animal dropped the terrier
within half block Of the park and
got away. After assuring himself that
Mac" was uninjured and that MIN
ME" was not stolen IN the excitement
of the pursuit OF the thief, Weston
went home, Later he said to an Ex-
aminer man: I think il was a new
plan for stealing dogs That man en-
tered the park, sighted out the dog he
wanted, patted II on the head and
body 50 as 10 give it his mark as it is

Australian Squatters Gradually Eztermi-
mating the Hungry, Lons-Leapins Pest.
The kangaroo plague has always
been a great nuisance 70 the Australian
squatters, for on an average these
animals consume as much grass IS a
sheep. It IS stated BY Science Gossip
that on a sheep run Of sixty thousand
to eighty thousand acres ten thousand
kangaroos were killed anuxalIy for six
consecutive years and yet their num-
Der remained very formidable in the
locality. IN the colony Of South Aus
traIia hundreds Of thousands OF kanga-
roos are slaughtered annually for their
skins and the bonus offered By the au-
thorities. The number Of these marsu-
pals II New South Wales n 1889 was es-
timated to be over four million. and vet
about five hundred thousand kangaroos
and six hundred and fifty thousand
walIables were destroyed IN the col
ony in that year. 4 bonus Of sixteen
cents for each kangaroo killed Is Of
fered in Australia. hence the colonists
are gradually exterminating these ma
tive animals. Over half a million skins
are annually shipped TO England and
a large Qumber TO North America
to be converted into leather The
mac7opidaa include several kinds Of
kangaroos and walIables. The progress
Of settlement in Australia has driven
these animals from the more densely
populated parts Of the Australian con-
tinent. but in the country and unset
tied districts they are still numerous
enough to cause very considerable
damage to the natural grasses. So
SERIOUS has been the injury thus
wrought that the colonial governments
and runholders pay a small sum per
head for the destruction of the kan

Tine Cost oTGiu~cn=.

In England We have been accustomed to pay high prices at certain times for drugs, such as guinine. cocaine anl others. Lat drug k used in New China which in actual Value far surpaSSes any thing which has been known here.
 The substance in question is called ginseng and is the root of Aralia quiu quefolia. It Is so highly valued as a tonic and stimulant medicine in China that it k sold at from a0 to 2jO times its weight in silver. sometimes for 600 times that amount. Authorities state, how ever. that it possesses no important medicinal properties. Next 10 China the drug is produced in Soosl quality in Corea and is the principal article of ex- port from Corcl iu;u China So much is this the ease that the Coreaus are loath to part with any seeds of the plant lest their practical monopoly m this root should bc invaded.
 The wonder Is that with such a much used commodity at such a price steps are not taken tn cultivate it in sufficient quantity so as to adjust the balance be tween supply and demand. The reluc- tion, for example. in the price of qui- nine was largely the result of increased cultivation of the cinchona plant, and the same may he said of cocaine in re spect to the cocoa plant.

Prospect or retro spect, each is tenderly dear to the heart of Q woman This year the gown, be side whose attractiveneSs all other raj. ment fades in fascination, is of satin, white and glistening. which under the softening influence of old lace is perhaps, after all, the richest and most suitable fabric for wedding gown.
 Simple and comparatively inexpensive bridal robes may be made of satin duch ess with trimming of accordion plaited mousseline de soie in the form of petit coat and under bodice with q court train of the satin and ceinture of muslin.
