A Klondyke Opportunity.

The rapidty with which the Klondyke ex-
citment has spread over the country is aston
iShing. 1t is but three weeks since the first of
the treasure-laden ships reached port, yet the
Interest already extends from ocean to ocean.

company's expedition is already in Alaska,
under experienced leadership; and by reason
OF its superior equipment, strong financial re-

B. and Q. improvements.

The work of strengthening the track and re-
ducing the grade at Tabbs Station on the sec
ond division of the b. and o. was completed
Monday afternoon, and the first train to use
the new line was No One, the New York and
st. Louis flyer. heavy grade and three bad
curves have been eliminated BY this work. A
mile east, at Meyers Hole, a similar improve
ment has been in progress for months and ii
will be completed and ready for trains next
Sunday. Several reverse curves and nasty
and dangerous lip are done away with at this
point. Near Myers Hole, at Tablers the
alignment of the track is being materially
changed, and as in the other two improve
are being removed. This part of the work
will be done in sixty days and then series of
very dangerous places will have been entirely
removed. This work in its entirety means
the hauling of several additional cars in each
freight train. besides reducing the danger of
derailmen to almost nothing. The second
division. running from Cumberland to Bruins
wick, will soon be in first-class condition and
more cheaply operated than ever.

The Most Beautiful Foot.

The most beautiful foot is the slen-
der one. The stylish girl recognizes
this fact Her shoes are always large
enough to avoid cramping the foot and
yet are snug and wonderfully neat and
delicate. This is the reason why some
girls can dance all night without rest,
while others have'to retire early from
a brilliant ball; leaving their hearts be-
hind-in case .hey do not dance and
suffer so much with their feet as to
preclude the possibility of real enjoy
'ment. If girl wears proper shoe,
when the foot is bare, and she stands
upon it in the privacy OF her bedroom,
it will be as pretty and delicate as a
baby's. The instep would be high,
the heel delicately formed, the skin as
white as alabaster, with possibly blue
veins showing through. The general
form of the foot will be slender, the
toes tapering, parallel, and separated
by about the thickness of a sheet of
paper and adorned with pink tinted
nails. A girl who has such feet as
these-and there are many who have
them-well may take pride and plea
sure in contemplating them.-New

Giving Away Brides.

Among the novel means by which

Coffee and Wine,

Brillat-Savarin long ago stated that
the great Frenchmen Button and Vol
taire drank enormous quantities OF
coffee, to their deadly hurt; and he
declared that person might take two
bottles of wine Il day without injury
during long life, but that by similar
indulgence in coffee he would become
an idiot or die of consumption. The
inordinate use of tea and coffee is now
well-known, and is admitted, even by
temperance physicians, to be more dan
gerous than that OF alcohol. DIR. AL

1t is by physicians and scientists
considered of the utmost importance
that the milk supply be regulated and
watched over with thousand times
more vigilance than has ever before
been done. tuberculosis may get
firmly rooted in the cows system and
continue there for long time before
any danger is suspected. First of all
things it is necessary that healthy
COW be selected, then that she have
every advantage of healthful condi-
tions. Crowding, dampness and dark
ness are serious faults in the build
ings where cows are kept. Milk for
bottle babies should not be furnished
from cows kept in badly-ventilated
and ill-smelling buildings. A very
small proportion of the milk furnished
to cities is fit for the use of infants.
If the present state of things continues
there will of necessity be revolution
in society and consumers will demand
the enactment of sanitary laws as re-
CARDS cows, and will insist that every
regulation be complied with. The

A Woman in Horticulture.

Women are invading every trade.
There are women florists in all the

in selling fruits and vegetables. Per-

by woman will almost look more at
tractive than one arranged by man
and attractiveness counts every time.

a farmers daughter be her fathers

Mrs. Dorothy Howard, aged seven
ty-fve years, who recently died at JEFF

At her death she had It's dresses,

Following is an accurate description
of Queen Victoria's dress on Jubilee
day: "It was pale gray silk richly
embroidered with silver of the finest
workmanship, not only on the panels
of the skirt, which were six inches
wide, but on the bodice as well. The
basque was very fully trimmed with
frills of fine black lace, as were the
sleeves and the edge of the skirt. The
bodice OF the dress, however, was en-
tirely covered by black gauze cape,
which had incrustations of beautiful
white lace let in. These insertions
gave an appearance of great lightness
and coolness to the entire toilet. The
bonnet was black and white, with q
little silver introduced, and the shape
was a very becoming one, the sides
coming well down behind the ears over
the soft white hair"
At the grand dinner held at Buck
ingham Palace on Monday evening the
Queen wore magnificent dress of
black moire antique, the design of
which was large and handsome. The
front was composed of exquisite gold
embroidery in symbolical device of
suns in relief, surrounded by stars,
each pattern forming the centre of a
square wrought in diamonds, studding
gold ribbons. Round the hem of the
skirt was wide band of rich and elabo-
rate embroidery consisting of sprays
of forget-me-not, ears of corn, lotus
flowers and suns. Similar embroidery
appeared upon the stomacher, which
was outlined with fine black lace A
bertha of the lace trimmed the shoul-
.ders, and the basque was bordered
with it. The short sleeves were COM
posed of it. On another gown in
preparation for Her Majesty appears a
rich silver embroidery in design of
rose, shamrock, and thistle.
