Thick Moss Hides the Gold.

W. Sam CLARK, an old resident oil
Alameda County, California, who went
to Alaska several months ago in search
of fortune, made a tour of that coun.
try, and has sent report to his
friends. He tells of the great suffer.
ing among the men, and how they long
to come home. "I would not encour-
age any ono to come to Alaska this
year." says Mr.. Clark. "This land of
glaciers has its surface rubbed and
secured and its golden seed scattered
until evrey stream and brook will show
'color'-hence the cry that all Alaska
is gold, and the metal is to be found
from the grass roots down, but not in
quantities that will pay to work. ex-
cept in a few localities. When the
quartz veins of the country are found
and the gold belt discovered and
marked on the maps, Shen it will be
time enough for men from civilized
parts to come and locate their small
twenty acres in this vast land. The
moss blanket, in places several feet
thick, will hide for years to come from
the prying eye of the miner its golden
color. There is room for all, but gold

Number of Hours to Sleep.

"In the matter of Sleep" remarked
well-lsnown physician, "there are as
many peculiar things as there are
about eating-what is one mans food
is anotaer's poison. The SAME applies
to sleep. This much Is generally
known and accepted by standard
authorities on the subject, that tall OF
bulky people require more sleep than
others, and that women can get along
on much less sleep than can men. As
with animals, human beings sleep
much longer and heartier in the winter
than at any other times. People Of
extrems old age require as much sleep
as infants, and it is beneficial to both
classes if they can sleep one.half the
time, or even q greater proportion.
There is one thing I would like to i'm
press upon every one, and that is, il
is positively injurious for any one to
sleep longer than is actually necessary.
"When you hear people talk oil
forcing themselves to sleep long hours,
it means as much as if they overdrank
or overfed themselves. I am strongly
of the belief that while six or seven
hours is long enough sleep for the
average healthy person there are those
who need an hour or 80 more, as there
are Others who thrive mentally and
physically on four hours sleep. early
to bed and early to rise is splendid
doctrine, but in cases where one can.
not get to bed early they should moi
force themselves to rise early. Sleep
all you can naturally, but never sleep
for sleeps sake, or longer than Is
necessary" Washington Star.

Burglary is Now q Science.

The modern burglar is scientist
and inventor in his way. Recently q
new era in safe breaking and other
branches OF the cracksman's art has
opened, and the famous jimmy, SO
long rampant on the successful burg
lars coat of arms, is to be superseded
by more convenient labor saving tools.
In Marseilles, France, the other day
gang of ingenious cracksmen entered
bankers Office armed with steel
saw OF the newest construction and q
handy little gas engine. There was
no need for the exercise of muscle,
nor was there any necessity for q good
strong wrist at the saw, as there was
at one time in the annals Of famous
robberiss.
The light engine was started, the
saw put in the proper place, and the
connections made. Seating themselves
serenelJ upon a couple of chairs near
at hand, these modern burglars
watched the true and rapid work OF
their appliances.
7 The big safe might have resisted for
hours the force of human hands, but
the saw, impelled by the. engine, it
could not stand against. The stout
iron safe promptly yielded up its con
tents of many thousands dollars worth
OF gold and bonds. and in quarter oi
the time it would have taken to have
committed the robbery under the old
conditions the burglars were well out
of the building with their booty.

Benefits Of Aera,ed Waters.

A very general impression prevails
that the substitution OF aerated waters
for ordinary drinking water is great
safeguard against zymotic disease,
Mrs. Percy Frankland shows. in re.
cent article in Nature, that though
this impression is more or less justi'
fed by investigation, 1t should only
be encouraged to o moderate extent.
The most satisfactory fact established
by the experiments of several investi.
gators refers to cholera germs, and is
that these bacilli cannot live in ordi,
nary seltzer and soda water longer
than three hours. The bscilli OF
typhoid fever live much longer under
the same circumstances, and no de.
gree of safety from them is secured
unless the aerated water infected BY
them has been stored for at least 6
fortnight before use. Storage of the
waters has been proved Of undoubtec
service in the destruction of disease
germs, and, in the absence of pre-
liminary precautions by the manu-
facturers such as the removal of al
bacteria present, by boiling, distilla
tion or sufficient filtration. Mrs,
Frankland recommends ita as measure
of great hygienic importance.

Bald Headed Men Not Sensitive.

"Then, too, I think the race of men
is not SO sensitive as it used to be. To
be bald is not criminal, and the man
so afflicted takes it simply as some-
thing unavoidable, and when he looks
around he can see thousands to keep
him company and give him strength
to remain as nature made him. Once
he wears wig, however, the chances
are that he will keep it on. 1t is a
protection as we'll as substitute for
his lack. To take it of would be just
like taking of heavy clothing in the
middle of winter.
'Do many women wear wigs? No;
women have the advantages over men.
The poor fellow who loses hair has
left to him generally few strands
that he carefully fastens across the
cleared spot. The woman can use a
bang or something like that; and,
anyway, she generally has lot of hair
that she can pile over the badness. "

Increasing Value OF Yhayebone.

Whalebone promises to become one
of the most valuable commodities of
commerce, and before the next century
is very old it may become as highly
priced as gold. 1t may then be the
means of settling forever the mono.
metallist and bimetallist controversies
by abolishing both, and making the
substitution of whalebone currency
possible, for there is no chance of al
oversupply of that article, and it is
quite evident that it can not be imi.
tated. Numerous attempts have beer
made to simulate it, but none has been
successful. Not very many years age
whalebone could be purchased for $4,000
IL ton. At the end of last season the
price was $40, 1000. To-day it is about
$11, ZOO, and it may be higher still,
for the Greenland fishing this summer
has not proved an immense success
At this price an old family eiu CHAM,
of which whalebone ribs weie gener.
ally about half an inch square, would
prove very handsome legacy, much
more valuable than q gold-mounteo
but steelribbed umbrella OF the pres
ent day. A collection OF the old ar.
ticles might form small fortune

GeneraI Miles On the Indian.

A champion has risen up for the In
dian in the person of General Miles.
The Indian fighter has become then
most aggressive of Indian defenders.
This fact and an energetic defense of
General Custer are the salient points
in the Miles mentors. In his opinion
the redman has distinguished himself
as diplomat, statesman and warrior,
and may be good even while he is
alive. In speaking of Custer, General
Miles says: 81 have no patience with
those who would kick dead lion, Z"
and he attributes the lions death in
part to general ignorance throughout
the army as to the strength of the en-
emy and in part to the failure of Major
Reno to assume responsibility for the
movements OF his forces, Chicago

Uuconsclous Psrverslons.

O round of visits to the rich tea and

curious pieces of Chinese money,
whick were strung to his collar. From
the Emperor of China owney received
a passport bearing the royal crest and
dragon, permitting him to travel in
the country. But owney did not go

A Portable BicycIe.

cess after once seeing it done. The
fastening springs and tiny bolts are,
for the most part, SO deftly fitted into
the frame work as to be unnoticeable
to the casual observer. They are,
however, made OF the finest tempered
steel, strengthening instead of weak.
