Honesty In the Klondike.

If reports are to be believed, there is
one spot Of the globe where mankind
are entirely honest - the Klondike
country. It is said that miners outfits
are left lying open and unmatched all
along the trail for weeks and nobody
touches them. 1t is true a private let
ter from Klondizer mentioned that in
one instance thief was lynched. In
time when food was scarce he had stolen
a chunk of bacon and appropriated it to
his own needs. With touching fare
well word for his wife and babies in
the States he was strung up and went
"whimpering through the air' like the
soul of Danny Dever, but this is the
only case Oh record Of the kind in all
Klondike history, SO far as is known
The people are as honest as a Quaker,
every one, and would not touch any
thing belonging to another
This is pleasing news. The reason of
it is also easy to find. Nobody steals in
the Klondil1e because the miner has al
ready everything that can be bought
with gold there. He has not rything
he wants, but he has already everything
anybody else has and more gold than he
can spend.
The natural inference to be drawn is
that honesty is largely a matter of cir
cumstances instead Of conscience. Men
who do not need anything do not steal.
Those who want for everything and to
whom the easiest way of getting what
they want seems to be to steal it are
thieves

Here's an Idea.

The business men of Rochester have
dubbed together and rented and furn-
ished public waiting room for ladies
and children The plan is said to
work we'll and to be greatly appre-
ciated by the benefciaries, who are,
for the most part, wives and children
of farmers residing at a distance.
Very often when the wives of farmers
come to town they are obliged to take
their children, sometimes in order to
fit them out, other times because they
cannot leave them at home. Instead
of compelling them to sit around the
stores the business men have rented a
room, centrally located, beat it, pro-
vided it. with toilet aecomod ations, a
woman attendant is placed in charge,
and the women and children find a
comfortable waiting place, an oppor-
tunity to eat lunch and rest them
selves. This, is practical benefit and
if our merchants would carry out this
or a similar plan they would find that
it would attract a large amount Of
trade

1t was the belief OF the Governments
engravers when the new notes were de-
signed that their artistic character
would make them difficult if not impos-
sible to counterfeit successfully. 1 ask
ed Chief Hazen of the Secret Service
Bureau whether the new notes were
better protected than the old.
1T is true that the artistic design
makes the new notes harder to copy in
a steel engraving" he said; "but more
counterfeiting is done by transfer and
etching on copper plates-what you
know in the magazines as 'half-tone'
work. That is not the best work, but it
is the most common. OF course the en-
graver touches up the etching with his
tools so as to bring the lines up sharper
and to make it look as much like steel
engraving as possible. But fortunate

lating steel engraving. Engravers all

Miss Lee Is an accomplished violinist,

from their midnight slumbers by
strains of music in the air, they need
not imagine that company of disem-
bodied spirits are lowering over their
homesteads.
''I believe" said Don Carlos, discuss
ing the question of aerial navigation,
that we shall find in the upper air
currents similar to the trade winds that
prevail on the ocean. 1t will doubtless
be necessary for us to experiment with
the various currents before we md the
wind we want. We shall carry at least
1000 pounds of water in tank as bal
last, which we may let out as circum-
stances require. In this way we may
attain greater heights, while by open
ing a valve in the balloon we may
descend to any desired level. I have
faith that we shall demonstrate the
correctness of my trade wind theory. If
1 am successful, I believe the balloon
will maintain an average speed of sixty
miles an hour.
''If it had not been for Miss Lee, this
expedition would not have been under
taken,' Don Carlos continued. Il was
astonished when she proposed such a
trip, and demonstrated with her, but
she said she could persuade some one
else to take her, so l consented. Women,

as interesting are the practical details,
which the Commander is now discuss
eral Booth, in London.
Il have the utmost confidence in the
future of extensive farming by irriga-
tion," said Commander Booth-Tucker
to me the day before he sailed. "The
life of an irrigation colony may
lack the picturesqueness of mountain
homes, but the farmer does not look
upon landscape with the eye of the
poet or the artist. He will find beauty
of d certain sort in vast stretches Of
green vegetation, dotted by tiny homes,
and kept at high pitch of productivity
by more regular supply of water than
science has yet learned how to COM
mand from the clouds I prophesy that
irrigation will make in the Southwest
the garden spots of the world, even as
it has done in India and Egypt under
like conditions. Indeed, it is doing so
already. I visited at Rocky Ford, Col,
one colony where three hundred fami-
lies are living on five acre lots.
"'Do you think 1 asked one of the
residents, that you can live and sup
port your wife and children upon so
small piece of ground?'
I've don't think so; we know it,
was his reply.
There they are, not only living on
their little plots, but putting away
money in the bank. Their melon crop
was practically sold before the seed
was in the ground, because there was
no uncertainty about the yield, it's
quantity or quality.
