QUAKER CITY ECONOMY.
"atchmen md Guides DisEusted-
Lose Their Brass Buttons.

There couldn't possibly be in all this
city another crowd of men so disguised
as were the Waterman, guides and ele-
vator men at the city hall, says the
Philadelphia Record. 1t was all because
h public buildings commissioners had
been seized with what the men con-
sidered a ridiculous attack of economy.
This is the time of the year when all
uniformed men in the employ of the
city prepare to change their winter
clothing for their summer garments.
Now, the uniforms worn by the city hall
men are profusely adorned with brass
buttons bearing the seal of the city, and
the municipal authorities are particu-
larly careful to see that none of these
buttons shall ever go astray. 1t is, in
fact, q punishable offense for a common
citizen to have in his possession one of
these buttons. Accordingly when each
man appeared for duty, he was called
to the front and an official, armed with
a pair of shears, shipped OFF all the city's
buttons from the victims uniform ex-
cept one, which was left to hold the coat
across the chest. Fortunately the sus-
pender buttons on the trousers are just
the ordinary kind, without any NUM-
cipal insignia, otherwise there would
certainly have been a strike. The crop
of buttons thus gathered in was sent
to the tailor, who had finished the
summer uniforms up to the point of at
taching those necessary little articles.

The American w. @. II. U. Helped
Maintain Them.
During the latter part Of the cam
paign in Greece excellent service was
done in the field hospitals by a few.
English nurses who left home to care
for the wounded soldiers in the Greek
army. The princess of Wales was much
interested in the project, and lent her
influence to aid it, and Lady Henry
Somerset took an active part in the ar
rangements for the nurses departure,
says the New York Tribune.
This country also had it's part in the
affair, for the National w. G.. r. u. sent,
through Miss Frances Willard, $1,5CO,
representing the expenses of sending
one nurse. The women, who we're all
enthusiastic for the Greek cause and
experienced in hospital work, sailed
from London and arrived'a few weeks
ngo ut Athens. They were heartily
welcomed there, and the people who
had assembled to greet them cheered
them warmly as they landed. The work
which was assigned to them was tax
ing to their strength and frequently of
the most trying and disagreeable M
ture, but they had come with the knowl-
edge that war meant hardships, and
they have acquitted themselves nobly.
The task of caring for the wounded ia
not ended yet, and the nurses will
doubtless stay as long az their pres
ence can be Of use.

TORNADO DRILLS IN KANSAS
Caves Are Being Built Under school

Caves Are Being Built Under school
Houses.
We ave fire drills in our public
schools in the east, and very effective
drills they have proved in more than one
case of emergency. In Kansas they
have no fire drills, or, if they have, we
have still to hear of it. Out there tor
nadoes are more to be dreaded than
fires, and the schoolchildren are now
being trained in tornado drills, says the
New York Sun.
When tornadoes strike q Kansas
town everybody makes at once for
prairies. 1t is the only way to escape
death from flying doors and chimneys,
falling trees and topping buildings.
Schoolchildren are trained to know this
from the cradle, and on these occasions
rush pell nell for the nearest bit of
clear prairie attainable. But many
children have been manned and even
killed in these terrible storms.
So they have started a movement
throughout the state to have tornado
v built under the schoolhouses large
enough to accommodate all the children
while the blow lasts. And here comes
in the tornado drill, which is already
being put into practice.
1t is very much like our own fire drill.
The teacher sounds the alarm on the
piano and the children all stand up.
Then the march is played, and out they
go in good order, down the stairs and
into the cave.
Then let the winds blow! Let the
entire building fall in ruins! The chill
dren are safe and have only to be dug
out.

The Yukon Valley.

Ex-Governo: A. P. Swineford, who
was in Alaska in his official capacity
from 1885 to 1890, and who knows
whereof he speIks, gives the follow
ing interesting information:
@The Yukon valley is like the val.
ley of the Red river Of the North in
Minnesota. and some day will be the
fnost wheat growing district in the
world. That time will not come,
however, until railroads are built into
the heart Of Alaska. although there
are now located along the Yukon
many fine farms, their owners dispos.
ing Of their crops to the hundreds of
adventurous miners that have gone
to the YUKON valleys to dig fortunes
in gold from the richer placer mines
that stretch along the tributaries of
that mighty sire IN. I say adventur.
ous, alluding to the placer miners Of
the Yukon, and I use the term adj
visedly. Although the mines are
rich and easily worked it costs a
small fortune ~ get there in condi
ton to mine, and it costs lots of
money to live and to transport the
gold dust to a market.
The average young man who Inakes
up his mind to strike for the Yukon
gold fields imagines that his journey
is ended when he reaches Juneau
that he has but to step across the
country and he is ut the Yukon. He
will find, however, that he is greatly
mistaken. On arriving mt juneau he
will have to get IN outfit that will
cost him from $500 to 5000, and theu
he will have to cross Il wild mount
ain"ns country, along Indian trails.
He will have to cross four large lakes
and make three portages before he
reaches the Yukon river. Arrived
there, however, it is comparatively
easy sailing until he comes to a like
ly tributary, up which he will have to
work to a placer field.
AT this time OF the year the heat
is something awful in the valleys of
those little tributaries, and the mine
is compelled to wear a closely woven
mosquito netting over his face and
gloves on his hands TO keep from
being blinded by the mosquitoes and
black flies, which swarm in countless
numbers in the valleys. So bad are
they that the sleeves at the wrists
and the trousers at the ankles must
be tied tightly or the pests will crawl
inside. Their sting seems to be more
veromons than that of the mosquito
and black fly here. 1t is impossible
to keep domestic animals in the val
leys, us the flies will blind them in a
day. All the wild animals, the rein
deer. elk, etc, remain on the noun
tains during the summer"
