An Aiaska land with Its Queer and Badly
Mixed Population.
James Millar, who has long resided
on Prince OF Wales Island, and who.
by reason Of his being the first white
settler and now controlling the larg.
est interest, is referred to 10 the
monarch OF that island, has arrived
here. Mr.. Mlllar Ia located at Hunt.

years In the business Of catching and
sailing salmon.
The strange island Of the Prince Of
Wales on which Mr.. Millar has
selected to make his home, lies ct
the mouth of Dix0n's entrance and
only about three miles from the
northern line Ut British Columbia.
The island Is about 200 miles long
and from ten &c thirty or forty miles
wide. It Is singular In Its makeup
having q fringe OF lowland oil around.
Toward the center are ridges Of
mountains, some Of them reaching
lofty heights and covered with per.
petual snow. There 10 magnificent

'and some day II must prove, ! think,

The Indians, OF whom there are prob.
ably s0me 5000, are scattered around
the island shores In little villages,
usually Of about 100 iDha bitants each.
They consist Of many different
tribes. Most Of those / came In con-

Teach Girls 70 Cook.

Every young woman, no matter

taught to cook. It does not follow
that she must therefore 60 into the

It does follow that In knowing how
to cook she will be much better lifted

as q reward offered the young artist

"We'll be married at once" returned
the enraptured young man. History
does not relate whether the damsel
got the candy too, or whether the
banns are yet published.
This 10 the average" young man,
and, OF course, your young man, Is

remember that the wives Of the most
distinguished men have usually been

who washed my dishes and kept my

A story Is told OF young French
nobleman who was paying his ad.

was q blue stocking and the other
was brownie, who ''kept the house

The young man went one day 70

Humoring q Horse.

Mr. H. G. Merwin, in his BROAD,
Track and STABLE" says that the
peculiar success of American horse.
trainers Is due to the fact that they
have consulted the equine nature,
and instead of subduing the horses
spirit, have endeavored to win his
confidence. '.Instead of breaking
colts" he adds, I'VE Rentle' them. "
He has seen q high.spirited stallion,
on the fourth occasion of his being
in harness, driven to q top.wagon,
and going so kindly that the owner
did not hesitate to take his child Of
3 years with him.
The case of Johnston, the famous
PAGER, illustrates what can be accom-.
plished by humOring the sensitive
equine disposition.
"IIe was the most nervous horse
that ! ever saw" writes John Splan,
his trainer and driver, 'and ! found
that In shipping him about from one
track TO another he became more
nervous and irritable. II YOU left
him alone in the stable, he would
tramp around like wild animal, and
get himself in sweat. II anyone
went into the stall next to him, and
began to hammer or make anything
like q loud Noise, he would try Ia
climb out Of the window. When.
ever a stranger stepped into his stall.
he would give snort and back into
the farthest corner"
With some difficulty Splan obtained
the services of quiet faithful
"rubber," or groom. called "Dave. "
Dave procured q dog 10 additional
company for Johnston, aud these
three remained inseparable through
the pcriOd OF Johnst0n's training II
was O matter OF course that the
groom should sleep In tho stall, but
he never left It, day or night, havine
all his meals brought there.
Under this treatment Johnston
rapidly improved. He became lesi
nervous ate better, and 10 the event
lowered the pacing record 2.06l,
