Schools In Alaska.

There are nearly two thousand
children enrolled in Alaska schools
though there Is school population
Of from eight to ten thousand. The
government contributes about one.
third to the support Of the schools
and the other two-thirds Is provided
by the missionary societies. One Of
the obstacles to the progress OF
teaching In Alaska Is the idea OF the
northern Eskimo that tomorrow
will be another day" and they make
no effort to meinorize anything for
future use. However, the children
seem to have . great desire to know
the English language, and study
faithfully In the school room, though
they often fail to use what they learn
outside; and they IRE uniformly well
behaved in the school room.

dogs to Constantinople the Saturday
before Whitsuntide, have returned
to Potsdam. The two dogs, when
they arrived ut Constantinople, had
several days rest before they were

formances OF the dogs that the Ger

Turkish soldiers instruction In the
training Of such dogs. This was done
for several days, after which the Sui

Why the Fruit OF Athens Is Always Too
Green to Eat.

Why the Fruit OF Athens Is Always Too
Green to Eat.
1t is the wayof travellers to complain
OF the food they are obliged to eat in
tCrelgn countries. Whether it is an
American In Europe, or a European in
America, the result is much the same.
we like the things to which we are &C
customed. When Edmond About was
In Greece, he carried matters SO far as
to object to eating green peaches. He
was IN the bazaar at Athens, says the
Youths Companion.
wouldn't it be possible to get some
ripe peaches?" he asked the vender.
II think not, answered the Athenian.
But pray tell me why?"
1--WE have no good roads. If the
farmers should try to bring ripe fruit
10 market on mule-back, it would arrive
In the shape of marmalade."
But at Corfu, also, the peaches were
green, and they have good roads, and
bring the fruit to town in wagons"
-"Ah, well" said the man, ''there is
another reason. The farmers have no
money, and they have creditors. They
can't wait for fruit to get ripe"
There, says About, you have a fair
example of the state of Grecian agrictil-
ture.
A French gardener, being at Smyrna,
noticed that the Greeks had almost no
vegetables in their gardens-tomatoes
everywhere, and scarcely anything else.
why don't you raise other thingsp"
he asked. Asparagus, now. Your soil
is just right. You would make q fine
thing of it. 1 will furnish you with
seeds"
How soon should we get crops?"
In four years at the longest"
"Four years! Are you crazy2 Do YOU
suppose we would spend money to get
something back in four years? we
should be bankrupt twenty times over"

ADVENTURES or A BOTTLE.

Cast Upon tho Waters It Returned After
r Many Days
In June, 1898, Lieut.. II. r. MAYO, of
the United States navy, in charge of
the photographic Office at Port Towns
end, Wash, gave the captain of the
Northern Pacific steamer Victoria a
bottle which he asked him to drop into
the sea when his ship was about half
way across the Pacific on its VOYAGE to
China, so as to test the currents. The
bottle, saws the Chicago Record, was
securely corked and sealed and con-
tanned a request printed in seven Diff
terent languages. including Russian,
chinese and Japanese, that whoever
found it should send it to the nearest
custom house in the United States,
with the date and the location when
and where it was first seen. On july
4, 1898, when the vessel was in latitude
torty-nlne degrees thirty-tVo minutes
north and longitude one hundred and
scventy-fve degrees and forty-two
minutes west. Second Officer Dobson,
OF the Victoria, took the bottle and
with swing of his long arm cast it
into the water. One morning a few
weeks ago when Lieut.. Mayo came
down to his office he found on his desk
package wrapped in an ancient and
much soiled German newspaper, which,
to his surprise, was found to contain the
very bottle he sent on that queer
errand about sixteen months before.
The janitor said the package had been
left there by two rough-loolzing sailors.
Upon drawing the cork the lieutenant
found a rude inscription upon the back
OF his carefully printed instructions
which read:
. Here's your bottle. Found ION such
and such date, in such and such lati-
tude and longitude). The next time
you cast n bottle adrift please put
something else in it besides piece of
paper"

ALL OVER THE GLOBE.

THERE are 100000 more women than
men in the present population of Great
Britain.
The Scotch banks have reduced the
rate of interest on deposits to one per
cent, the lowest rate known.
OF 4,629 children recently subjected
to cruel treatment in England, it is sug-
gestive that 1887 had had their lives in
sured.
STRANGE bed warmers are used by
CHILEAN women. In cold weather, when
in bed, they keep their feet warm by
placing them on dog.
NATURAL gas is reported to have been
discovered in the bed of the Rio Plata,
near Buenos Ayres. A bill granting a
monopoly of it to the discoverer is be-
fore the congress.
STATE control of the liquor traffic is
to be tried on large scale in Russia.
In the governments of Perm, Ufa, Or
enburg and Samara, in east Russia,
drinks are to be sold only by the state.

A Practical Application.

The Farmers Guide tells this neat
little story, with moral appended,
that can be appreciated by every in
telligent reader:
A minister one day preached on
"hea'A.'." Next morning he was go
ing down town and met one Of his old
wealthy members. The brother stop
ped the preacher and said: @Pastor.
you preached a good sermon about
heaven, but you never told me where
hearen is" "Ah," said the pastor. aI
am glad OF ali opportunity this morn
ing. have just come from the hill
top yonder. In that cottage there is
a member of your church. She is in
bed with }eyer, her two little children
are sick in the other bed, she hasn't a
bit OF coal or stick Of wood, nor
hour, nor sugar, nor any bread. If
you will go down town and buy five
dollars worth of things-nice pro-
vi~Ions-and send them up to her, and
then go up there and say, My sister,
l have brought you these nice pro-
visions in the name of our Lord and
Savior, then ask for Bible and read
the twenty third Psalm, and then get
down on your knees and pray-if you
don't see heaven before you get
through I'll pay the bill"

Coun ty Official Paper.
The Interstate Commerce Commits
Eion.

SION.
Hon. William Thompson has taken
the bull by the horns and decided to
call the attention of the Interstate
Commerce Commission to transporta-
ton charges over the Central Pacific
railroads in Nevada. He has written
to Congressman Newlands and also to
General A. j. Warner, with whom he
became acquainted last fall, to use
theirinfluence to getthe Commission
ers to spend day in Reno when they
visit the Coast this Spring. He has
collected data relative to transporta-
ton rates from the East and the West
to Nevada points, and he intends, at
his own expense, to furnish all at
tainable facts regarding freight rates
for the Commissioners. He expects to
substantiate all that he asserts by
prominent business men of the State
and show the discrimination made
against Nevada shippers.
1t was suggested that Reno and
Wadsworth shippers and the public
generally, who believe in fair play,
petition the Board of County Commits
sioners to officially request the Inter
state Commerce Commissioners to
visit Nevada and hear what shippers
have to say regarding freight rates.
Should this be done it will emphasize
the request of Mr.. Thompson. There
ID general complaint of the rates
charged Nevada shippers on carload
lots. If this complaint is well found
ed the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion should be informed of the fact
and opportunity given it to apply the
provisions Of the law to Nevada. Let
the people submit fair statement of
facts to the Commission and see what
it will do. Much complaint is made
on the streets about unjust discrim-
ination, but so far as known, no com.
plant has ever been made by Nevada
shippers to the Interstate Commerce
Commission.-Reno Journal.
