SALMON THAT JUMP FIFTEEN
 FEET

The first fall on the Mingan is about three miles from the mouth. It is for ty-six feet high, in three pitches about equal in height and with seething pools between The spawning beds of the salmon are on the broad, gravelly bars far up the river. They must surmount this fall once year in order to reach them. We camped on a sandbar below the fall and watched the struggle. The broad pool below the fall was so full of these royal fish that their tails and dor sal fins could constantly be seen stick ing out of the water Every minute one or more fish would make rush from the depths below, spring far into the air, every fibre quivering, and time after time fall back, only the most pow erful and determined occasionally suc- ceeded in passing in the first pitch. Above that, every nook and crevice in the rocks where the salmon could ob- tain resting place was crowded Great monsters they were, weighing from twenty-five to forty pounds. How they ever made the second and third pitches l do not know, for there was not the good starting chance that they had in the deep hole below the first pitch.-- Frederic Irland, in Scribner's.

and always the more becoming, even if it does not last as we'll as does the stiff fer slace. No color is worn so much as white black gloves hardly sell, ex- cept for strict mourning. Mode color never goes out of favor and is always good taste. Brilliant kids positively
 are not worn except by folks at once ignorant of standards, and bereft of personal taste. The English walking glove is still valliantly worn by the
 correct tailor girl, but oh! they are hot except in cool weather. A white slace piauet glove Is a little more comforta-
 ble, but is expensive.
 Although gowns of almost transpar- ent stuffs made over bright Things have been abundant for several months, the fashion is too pretty to die yet and new models are still appearing, just as if there were no such thing as a style dying from over-production. Here

At the hem | the skirt was trimmed with a narrow ruffle of pleated pale-blu mousseline, surmounted by festooned band of lace 1 insertion. whose design was outlined
 with gold. The bodice was draped in the manner shown, the overlapping | edge of the left front and the basque | being trimmed to match the skirt.
 Pale blue mousseline gave belt, rosette and flowing ends, and the sleeves were

 Now everybody knows where MT, Low is. The next thing is to discover where Thomas c. Platt is. MT. Quigg has declared that the Republican or ganization will never nominate Seth Low or anybody else on a platform in dorsing the principle of non-partisan- ship in municipal government. Yet the Republican Mail and Express points out that tho nlatfnrp1 of PnnI1hlipop n convention must make just that decla- ration or cease to be representative of true Republicanism and it adds: The

i BAND 74AT CANNOT PEAY


 We hasten to remark that there is no New Haven band that cannot play. There will be music in the air when the tradesmen of St. Paul march in labor parade next Monday, but none of the music that will be in the air will proceed from the Bakers union. It appears that the Bakers union of St, Paul is composed mainly of Germans and has therefore many amateur musi- cal members organized a street band, largely for their own entertainment, and with no intention of competing with the professional players. Other members of the union thought it would be quite feature to have their own band lead them in the Labor Day parade, and preparations were made accordingly. But the Musicians union heard and protested. Attention was directed to the rule that none but union musicians might play in bands. While the musical bakers were union bakers they were not union musicians. From the standpoint of the unions they were ''scabs' and therefore could not fur nish music for a labor parade. The bakers will march without music, ex- cept such as may float to them from the union bands
 Thus does the German band get an- other setback, and in this case it is a truly merited one

DOLLAR WHEAT rS RRyay

William Jennings Bryan has realized
 that he must carry his own State this
 year if he would be in position to
 make a disturbance in 1900 So, with
 great labor and much skill he has finally succeeded in fusing the popu- lists, the democrats and the so-called free silver republicans of Nebraska in support of a single ticket Opposed to this interesting combination will be the republican party, the sound money democrats, the fact that wheat has risen in price while silver has been falling, and the fact that the farmers of Nebraska are so busy harvesting their crops, taking in money for them and paying off mortgages that they | haven't the time or disposition to be interested in calamity politics. An l honest dollar for an honest bushel of wheat is a good platform for the Ne braska farmers to stand on, and it will l hold them much more comfortably and safely than Bryan's shaky structure.

Through the energy of MT. Sheldon Jackson five hundred reindeer have been imported from Siberia into the lower Yukon region, and with them sev- eral Lapland families to care for them. The flocks have already increased to more than 1000 and the natives are learning to care for and manage them. An experiment. is being made of using them for transportation in the mining country Unlike the dog, the reindeer needs to have no food transported for him. After an eighty mile drive he can be turned loose to forage for him. self upon the abundant reindeer moss which covers all the Alaskan fields When it is necessary to kill him he furnishes better meat than the dog and more of it, while his skin, and indeed, every portion of his body, are of supe- rior value Commissioner Harris esti- mates that Alaska is capable of SUD- porting many millions of reindeer and with them a proportionate number of keepers with their families The ciyili- zation of Lapland is therefore in fair way to be transplanted to our north western province and may serve as a most important connecting link with the great mining interests of the upper Yukon valley. The reindeer express uu the Yukon will be almost as fleet as and far more sure than, the steam cars could be during the inclemency of all Alaksan winter.
