Alaska is today the last ditch Of the
American salmon traffic. The Column
bias rich fisheries OF twenty years ago
have become practically exhausted by
the use of current wheels between the
Cascades and Cello, a distance of 80
miles, so that it ia to Alaskan waters
alone that we can look with any certain
ity for continuance of the supply.
Then there are. at the Shumagin islands,
great banks where halibut and cod can
be taken in quite as large quantities as
on the banks of Newfoundland. So it
may be said that the fisheries of Alaska
are alone worth the price paid to Rus
STA by the United States for that enor-
NOUS expense of country.
The timber forests of Alaska are even
more valuable than the fisheries, il such
thing were possible. The wood known
in commerc as Port Oxford cedar" is
to be found in belts of from ak to four
teen miles in width, all the way from
Port Easington at the mouth Of the
Skesns river, up to a point twenty
miles above Harrisburg. This wood is
now cut for market lumber eolely be-
tween the mouth of the Umpqua and
Port Oxford in Oregon, and is sold
st $50 per thousand feet. Being
strongly impregnated with an aromatic
resin, it keeps away moths from cur
tsins and carpets, and is therefore used
for wsiascots, window castings and in
side blinds in the houses OF the rich.
Once open Alaska as regularly organ
izsd territory and thsre would be fifty
mills put up within i've years along
that coast. The price OF that lumber
would drop down to about $50 per
thousand feet. and it would rhon be
found in the mechanics cottage as we'll
as in the millionaire's mansion. More
over, the supply of the cedar would be
so abundant that traffic in it would
spring up between Alaska and the
Atlantic states. No rich mans palace
would be complete without it,
About four years ago man CO about
$4,000 feet of this lumber near juneau
aud ehippsd it to San Francisco on a
sealing vessel. The Oregon ring, who
control tbs traffic in this lumber at San
Francisco, got wind OF the shipment and
had the man arrested. Confscation OF
the vessel came next in order, and the
unlucky skipper came near going to the
penitentiary, but was let off with fine,
which took every dollar he had in the
world. All this sort of business looks
un-American.
1t is high time Alaska was thrown
open for general settlement, for the
larger cities of the coast would then find
her always ready for an exohs%ss of
products, and that ia what makes bust
ness hero or anywhere else. If Alaska
can export two hundred million feet Of
lumber per month to the Atlantic cities,
tbst would mean at least 100000 q
month to be distributed about the Paci-
fc coast. Again we say, Alaska has
outgrown her swaddling clothes and
should be made fully organized terri
tory. She will then be more able
bodied as territory than Nevada as
state.

AMUSE rs.

BURBANK THEArER.- This popular
place OF amusement was crowded last
evening. Manager Cooper used his
best endeavors to present to the public
his promised scenery in The Great Me-
tropolis, and in this respect it can be
safely said that no better present stion
has ever been given to the numerous
patrons OF this play house. The cast
was good one. George Osbourne, as
Captain of the Life Savers. maintained
his nigh reputation Rs an actor OF
more than ordinary merit. Miss
George Cooper, as Dook, captivated the
audience and played the part in way
that indicates bright future for this
young actress. who has established her

does not charge Lord Liverpool with
corruption in the matter, but says he
acted without judgment. There is evil
IDENTIFY strong revulsien of public
sentiment in England on this matter,
for two great reasons. One of these is
that the depreciation of silver in India
is likely to revive the troubles met with
in 1857; and tho other is that England,
being largely the creditor of many small
ststes in South and Central America,
lie likely to meet with Wholesale repudi-
alton if she undertakes to enforce her
claims upon a strictly gold basis.

THE investigation into the affairs of
the Northern Pacific railroad, now in

Henry Willard (whose true name is
Heinrich Hilgard) manipulated the deal
by which the terminal properties of that

chased and "divvy" made between
him and three OF his fellow directors
Colby, Boutelle and Wegg-who are now
in Europe and, like Willard, waiting for
the thing to blow over. Young August

The Remedies Instinct Prescribes.

Animals get rid of their pains by
using dust, mud, clay, etc. Those suf-
fering from fever restrict their diet,
keep quiet, seek dark, airy places,
drink water and sometimes plunge
into it, says Colman's Rural Warld.
When dog has lost his appetite he
eats that species of grass known as
doga grass, which acts as an emetio
and purgative. Cats also eat grass.
Sheep and COWS when ill seek out cer-
tain herbs. An animal suffering from
chronic rheumatism always keep as
much as possible in the sun. The war;
rier ants have regularly organized am
balances. Latrellie cut the antenae of
an ant, and other ants came and COW
cred the wounded part with trans
parent fluid secreted in their mouths.
When an animal has a wounded leg
or arm hanging on, it completes the
amputation by means of its teeth. A
dog being stung on the muzzle by
viper was observed to plunge his head
for several days into running water.
The animal eventually recovered. A
terrier hurt its right eye. 1t remained
under a counter, avoiding light and
heat, although it habitually kept close
to the fire. 1t adopted a general treat
ment-rest and abstinence from food.
The local treatment consisted in lick
ing the upper surface of its paw, which
it applied to the wounded eye.
Animals suffering from traumatio
fever treat themselves by the contin-
ued application of cold water, which M.
Delauney considers to be more certain
than any of the other methods. In
view of these interesting facts we are,
he thinks, forced to admit that hygiene
and therapeutics as practised by ami
mails may, in the interest of physiol
ogy, be studied with advantage.
Many physicians have been keen
observers of animals, their diseases
and the methods adopted by them, in
their instinct, to cure themselves, and
have availed themselves of the knowl-
edge so brought under their observa-
ton in their practice.

CAULIFLOwERS.

An increased percentage of market
able heads was the result of handling
cauliaower plants in pots during the
early stages of growth at the Maine
station, as reported by w. M. Mum
son. Trimming plants at time of set
ting was of doubtful value. Early va
rieties, as rule, proved more certain
than the later sorts to produce salts
factory crop. The general treatment
of the caulifower is similar to that re-
quired by the cabbage. Frequent and
thorough cultivation is essential. That
the heads may be we'll bleached, the
outer leaves should be brought to-
gether and tied few days before cut
ting. Unless taken directly from the
garden. a cabbage or caulifower is
much improved if SO placed that it can
absorb water through its stalk for
twelve to twenty-four hours before
cooking. Any insect in a caulifower
head may be driven out by soaking it
in salt water, upside down, for an
hour. The earliest varieties grown at
the station were: Burpee's Best
Early, Dwarf Danish, Kronk's Perfec-
ton, and Livingston's Earliest close
ly followed by Alabaster, Landreth's
First, Long Island Beauty, and several
strains of SNOWFALL. All of these va
rieties produced high percentage of
marketable caulifowers. - American

Rain.making.

Now as to the possibility of produc-
ing rain by artificial means 1t is
never safe to say what things are pos
sible and what things are impossible
to man. What the future may bring
forth no one can tell. At the present
time, however, there is no evidence to
show that even the smallest local
shower has been produced artiticially.
Further than that it is safe to say
that no method of producing artlfi-
cial rain has yet been publicly pro-
posed which suggests to one familiar
with the scientific principles involved
even a possibility of success. That
such attempts have received the ofi-
cial recognition and the financial sup
port of Congress is only another
evidence of the gross ignorance OF
scientific principles which is prevalent
among our so-called educated men.
That some of the men who advocate
these wild schemes are honest in their
motives cannot be questioned, but
that all the professional rain-makers
are conscienceless fakirs is scarcely
more questionable. That many of
them are able to submit testimony as
to the efficacy of their system is equal
ly true of every patent-modicine fraud
and electric c-healing quack who has
ever swindled an ignorant public.

Implanting New Teeth.

The last and most ingenious resort
of the dental surgeon is ''implanta-
tion," j. e., the setting of new teeth
into the jaw. For this purpose real
teeth are employed, and not artificial
ones. Cocaine having been first ap-
piled for producing local anaesthesia,
hole is drilled in the jawbone, and
into this socket good tooth newly
drawn from somebody's jaw is set. If
the patient is young and vigorous the
osseous structure soon closes around
it and by the time the gum is healed
the tooth is ready for use. 1t should
last from three to ten years. In the
case of an elderly or feeble person, it
may be fastened in place by silver
wires passing around the jawbone.
The root of freshly extracted
tooth is covered with delicate men,
brane called the pericementum, the
vitality of which materially assists the
wished-for combining of the tissues.
Unless the grinder is directly trans
ferred the vitality of this membrane
must be artificially preserved. One
way of doing it is to graft the tooth
temporarily into the comb of a cock,
that part of the fowl being well fed
with blood as may be seen by its red
ness. When wanted for use it is cut
out. Ordinarily the patient is obliged
to wait for awhile until the dentist has
suitable tooth freshly extracted, un-
less hs chooses to hire somebody 70

THE eBEST COWS.

1t is said that in their native land
the Guernsey COWS are much more
highly thought of than the Jerseys.
They are somewhat larger, and are
reddish and brindled in color. These
COWS are MIXED three times daily, and
the milk is churned without skimming
one pound of butter day is no un-
common thing for good COW. The
COW cabbage grows SO large that its
leaves are used to wrap the butter in
for market. These COWS receive the
very best care. The grass they feed
on is highly enriched by a species of
seaweed gathered from the reefs at
low tide. When feeding the COWS are
always tethered, as they eat less in this
way and give more milk than if glutted
with food. When they are done eat
ing they are at once removed from the
sun into the shade. The breed is pre-
served from intermixture with other
breeds by laws which are strictly en-
forced. New Orleans Picayune.
