HARDSHIPS In ALASKA.
Gold Hunters Rushing Into Yukon
Country, Perhaps to Starvation.
Provisions High and Work scarce-Dos
Meat Eaten During Past Winter to
Keep Alive-Grewsome Reports
from Land of Promise.

News has been received from Forty
Mile, on the Yukon river, in Alaska, that
work there is scarce, provisions high
and that miners who go to the Yukon
country without money are certain TO
have trouble and possibly to starve. Six
hundred men wintered at Circle City
and 500 more at Forty Mile. Several
thousand men are rushing in thissprinE,
taking, in most instances, only enough
provisions to last them until they reach
the mining camps. AS there are but
three steamers plying on the Yukon be-
tween its mouth and the mining camps
it is very doubtful if enough supplies
can be taken up the river to feed these
thousands of men over another winter.
The number wintering on the Yukon
this winter will be at least three times
as great as that last year. Recent let
tiers state that provisions became SO
scarce in some of the outlying districts
in January that dog meat had to be
resorted to in order to make the regular
provisions hold out until June, when the
first steamer will get up the river. 1t
is feared that some of the men in these
camps have died of starvation. These
reports have not in the least diminished
the great rush to Alaska. Within a
week 500 men have gone north. Half
of these will go to the Yukon and the
other half to Cooks inlet.
A letter just received from Forty Mile
says:
"of the 200 or 300 miners who left the
Yukon last fall nearly everyone was
"broke" There were a cozen in our party
when we came in last March, some of whor
spent eight or ten years on the river, and
they were all "broke." Still they had made
people on the outside believe they were
rich. At present our best prospect is the
hope of getting trusted at the stores, but
If the miners are fortunate next summer
everything will be o. K. But few new pros
poets were opened up here last summer.
The problem / am trying to solve is the
buying of a whole years provisions, for
prices have gone up. II q man can make
enough money in the summer time to buy
a years grubstake and clothing he runs
good chance of finding paying dirt by pros
pecting in the winter time. However, a
miner might live here 20 years and not find
a good prospect. At the present time,
January %, the thermometer stands 40
degrees below zero"
A. L. Smith, who went to the Yukon
country last year, writes:
1.-The mines haven't turned out as well a.
expected. Provisions are very scarce at
some camps. The condition of exiles IN
Siberia is preferable to living in this God
forsaken place"
These letters are more discouraging
than any others received. Others say
that the Yukon is a good country for
men who have $500 and can stand hard
knocks. 1-.v wi 49,

Secondhand Sermons.

A brisk trade, so it is stated by a
church contemporary, is driven in the
supply of secondhand sermons to
young clerics. Should these clerics de-
cline to deal further with the vendors,
the latter threaten to bring the matter
before their superiors. Because of
these threats, it is alleged that many
clergymen prefer to pay any sum that
may be demanded from them in a man
Ter which practically amounts to black
mailing. 1t seems that the usual
clerical name for these purchased dis
courses is "cat's-meat sermons" they
are sent in carefully concealed envel-
opes, and they are suited to all tastes
and occasions. First" sermons and
farewell" ones are equally kept in
stock. The writer, who warns the
clergy against these cat's-meat produce
lions, says that congregations "fnd

BAD FOR THE NERVES.
Life in Sky scrspers Responsible for 9
Peculiar Disease.

Dlscases
A nervous condition, bordering on
prostration, to which the doctors have
not as yet given a name, has lately been
observed to affect persons who work
many hours day high up in the mod
ern sky scrapers. The ailment, says the
New York Journal, resembles nervous
prostration, except in the principal
symptom, which is condition of in
tense restlessness, and, as one of the
victims 10 the new complaint expressed
1t, ga singular desire to scream or to
get down to the earth quickly"
A sensation of relief is noticeable
when the patient is taken to grass, so
to speak, which leads some physicians
to the belief that the change in the
rarity of the air, slight as it is, has a
peculiar effect upon certain very sensi-
tive organizations. Others think that
the constant trips in the elevators cause
n slight disarrangement of the nerve
centers, which brings on the condition
referred to. In any case there is no
doubt that a new ailment has come
among US with the advent of the sky
scraper.

FAITHFULNEss OF A DOG.
Saved the Life of Seriously Wounded
OHcer.

Omcer.
Mrs. Jessie Benton Fremont, in her
story of "The Guard" body of young
men who. followed ''The Pathfinder
into the civil war and made a brilliant
record for their courage and gallantry,
tells q pathetic story of a dumb beast
who also was loyal and courageous:
While the guard-a body of cavalry
was drilling one day near st. Louis, a
little foX-terrier followed one of the
men, Herr Visa, q Hungarian officer,
going with him to camp. He could not
be driven away.
The men all made a pet of him, and
named him "the corporal;" but though
he was affable to them all, he made the
Hungarian soldier his companion and
friend, sleeping at his feet at night,
and following him by day.
When the guard made their memoir
able charge at Springfield, Mo-, the
Corporal charged with them, keeping
beside his masters horse throughout
the battle. Herr Visa was wounded,
and fell, apparently dead, in a thicket.
The corps swept past, his horse fed,
wild with terror. but the little Corporal
nestled close beside him, licking his
face and trying to rouse him.
There the dog remained through the
bitter cold night. When morning came
he ran to the distant road, and by his
frantic banks and cries induced a pass
er-by to enter the thicket.
The man, seeing only cold, stiff
body, supposed the soldier to be dead,
and would have hurried on; but the
Corporal furiously drove him back, and
would not be silenced until he saw his
master move and speak, when he
crouched, dumb and contented, at his
feet.

POOR 10 IN WASHINGTON.
Unhappy Indian Attracts Much Undesired
Attention.


Attention.
There was an Indian pedestrian on
Pennsylvania avenue, Washington, the
other afternoon who attracted more at
tention than any other of the thousands
of promenaders on the boulevard be-
tween the treasury departmentand the
capitol building.
Lo was all alone, and he looked and
acted like a duck out of water or the
proverbial poor boy in the play ground.
Somewhere in the capital of the ma
ton he had exchanged his blanket,
breech clout, buckslkin leggings, moe
casins, and feather head dress for the
white mans garb of civilization, and
his efforts to get acquainted with the
new rig were pitiable as we'll as pain
full.
The stiff, thick-soled boots were not
so plant on his uncorned feet as the
soft moccasins beaded and ornamented
by his favorite squaw, and in plain Eng
lish his footgear pinched him every
place there was a chance for it. Black
clothing of the shoddiest description
matched his boots, while hrs headgear
was black SLOUGH hat of the recognized
army pattern. Whether by accident or
design his hat was the most conspicu'
Gus feature of Los get-up, and be
seemed as proud of it as a peacock with
spread tail feathers. Encircling the hat
was a strip of the gaudiest, reddest fan
mel imaginable.
No Indian in war paint and feathers
ever monopolized more attention from
passers-by than this son of the forest as
he hobbled along the widest boulevard
in the world with walking-stick to
add to his dignifed mien and thorough
emancipation from the habiliments of
his forefathers.

OF FRAGILE BEAUTY.
Our Grandmothers Were Not All We
Have Been Told.

Have Been Told.
The young woman of the present
generation who ventures to have n
headache or NERVES" is Immediately
confronted by indignant critics with
her grandmother. If the grandmother
is living the fact of her continued ex-
istence is made to tell, and if she sleeps
with her fathers her grandchild is con-
fronted with her ghost, the ghost is en-
!dowed with as many excellencies as
those with whom Betsy Trotwood en-
dowed the niece who never was born.
And as poor David Copperfield was re-
preached with the virtues of his mag
mary sister, so the granddaughter of
the period is reproached with the ghost
ly perfection of her grandmother, who
never had headache-at least accord
ing to tradition-but who, on the con-
trary, was a model of physical perfec-
ton. When it comes to the testimony
of those who saw the grandmother
in flesh that is another story"
Able Robin, chaplain in Rochambeau' S
army during the revolution, wrote of
American women in 1882: "They are
tall and well-proportioned, their feat
ures are generally regular, their COM
plexions are generally fair and without
color. At 20 years of age the women
have no longer the freshness of youth.
At IS or 40 they are wrinkled and de-
crepit."
And Chevalier Louis Felix de Bear
your, after praising the beauty of
the American women to the skies, says:
AT the age of 25 their form changes,
and at 30 the whole of their charms
have disappeared" These observers
were not mere hasty travellers, but had
lived here for years, and their verdict
is that the women of nearly 100 years
ago showed a fragile beauty and early
decline which this end of the century
damsel, with her athletic record and
her prolonged youth, would scorn.

Eggs, it is claimed by the best

than meat, and they ought to and do
find regular place on the menu of
most households. But is there any

which alone is the excuse for their
being encountered,
Last winter, in one of the suburbs,
a company of half q dozen young
matrons, happening to discuss this

form an omelet club, to exist for only
six weeks, and whose purpose should
be to attain perfection in the prepara-
ton OF this one dish. Each chate-
laine in turn entertained the club,
and in chatting dishes, two at each
luncheon, by two designated members
of the club, omelets, with variou
things from parsley to mushrooms,
were made and served. Following
the luncheon on each club day there
was an hours session, at which vario us
simple methods of serving eggs were
