The Fertility of Alaska.

\ good deal of interesting information
concerning Alaska, its climate, lands,
natural resources and industries is con-
FAMED in a report submitted to the
House of Representatives from the Com
mittee on Agriculture. The climate, of
many of the regions there is less severe
than might be inferred from the latitude
in which they lie. In Europe, between
the same parallels of latitude. there is a
population of twenty millions. There
are vast stretches of Alaskan territory
in which the climate conditions are much
more favorable than would be supposed
by those who take account merely of
their geographical situation. There are
extensive areas of land, both in the
south and ia the north. that are suitable
for agriculture. and there is bill before
Congress for the erection of agricultural
experiment stations within these areas.
In letter about Alaska, recently
written for the information of Congress
by Major Powell, late of the United
States Geological Survey. there are
some interesting statements in support
of others recently made in official re-
ports. Major Powell gives the area of
tillnhlc land IN southeastern Alaska as
800 square miles, Il tract larger than the
State of Rhode Island: and he makes an
estimate that along the shores of Cook
Inlet, the peninsula and adjacent islands,
including the Aentian Isles, there are
five thousand additional square miles
capable of successful cultivation.
Apart from the statements made in
Major Powell's letter there is reas IN to
believe that upon Il large section Of the
mainland south of the ukon river the
harder grains and vegetables can be
raised to advantage. In the upper re-
gions of the country also there are ara
Bile tracts of lands and the authority of
Professor Dawson of the Canadian
Geological Survey is given for the state
ment that in the angle formed by the
eastern boundary of northern Alaska
and the northern boundary of British
Columbia a population of one million
could be sustained by agriculture alone.

What the Boy Thought.

The elaborate and highly-poliShcd
dude fisherman, armed with the latest
and most improved tackle and appur-
tenanccs, was scouting along the stream
when he met hoy with n pin-hook turn

"Oh. say, boy" he called to the
youngster, sis there any good fishing

boy dropping his jaw in amalemcGt at

Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe, the
author of "Unele Toms Cabin" is
eighty-two years old, and the Hartford
Courant says that she keeps her physical
vigor to Il remarkable degree, and is
stronger and in better health than she
was six months ago. This may be due
to the fact that during the summer
weather she is almost constantly out of
doors. wandering about among the trees
and flowers of Forest street, where her
home is situated. Her bent figure, with
its crown of white hair, is familiar
figure TO her neighbors, as she walks
along with step that bellies her years,
accompanied by her faithful attendant.
The copyright on "Uncle Tom" expired
year ago, so that Mrs. Stowe has no
claim on the receipts from her most
famous and popular book. Through the
courtesy and kindness of her publishers,
she still receives bonus from the sales,
although of course not an equivalent of
the royalties that were hers lawfully be-
fore the expiration of the copyright.

From Hdrper's Bugdr,

Some years ago the state department
at Washington received through the
minister of Ecuador to the United
States specimens of plant known as
cundurango, found i'll the province of
Loya in Ecuador, to which marvellous
qualities in curing cancer were ascribed.
The physicians in South America expert
mented on this substance and reported
most wonderful cures Its virtues are
said to have been discovered by accident.
An Indian had been suffering fearfully
for a long time from internal cancer,
and his wife undertook to relieve him
by shortening his life by poison. For
this purpose she selected the cunduran-
go, making a decoction of the bark. To
her establishment the first dose appeared

tinuance of this remedy he was com
