Of northern Alaska and British Column

1t j. also generally conceded that
the "finds" in the Yukon Valley are the

of the Mount st. EliasAlps, which has
been loosened from the original bed
ding by tho action of the weather,
water, and ice, and carried down by
volumes of water to be deposited along
the valley and river beds. The Alaskan
glaciers, which are among the largest
in the world, are also efficient agents
in furnishing placer-gold supplies,
moving, as they do, slowly and irresist-
ably over the country, tearing up rocks
and carrying sand, gravel and boulders
down into the gulches and streams,
and finally depositing them wherever
the ice melts. The natural course Of
the glaciers is from the mountains Of

A Word To Young Men.

We fear that there is growing i'm
preston among orr young men that
it is more honorable to keep books or
stand behind the counter and sell
goods than it is to pillow; that there is
more honor in reading law than there
is in hammering on an anvil in a
blacksmith shop that the man who
wears blue overalls and works in u
machine shop occupies lower posi-
ton in the world than the man who
wears white shirt and patent leather
shoes every day. This is very great
blunder and has, we fear, turned the
heads of a great many young men.
No doubt good pillow boys have been
spoiled by young men imagining that
it was more honorable to practice law
or sell goods than to turn over soil or
shove the plane. The blame is not
always on the young man, either, par
ents are often at fault in this matter
They let it out early in the life of the
children that William and John must
select easy places in the world They
must not have the drudgery of farm
life nd must avoid the hard work of
the mechanic. 1t is a profession, a
situation as q salesman or bookkeeper
or some calling for which mayhap tho
boy is totally unified All work is
honorable if it is honest and right

IF LOVE ABIDE.

What II the sunshine kiss no mere the
mountains peak,
Nor In the vale no more the purple shadows
seek
TO monut on high,
And coming nigh
Drive from the heights whom they would
kiss and clasp,
And dim his rays forever in their chilly
grasp?
What II the flowers bloom no more, but
droop their heads,
That have incarnadined the summers
gardenbeds;
What II the sheaves,
Inautumn ewes,
Rustic no more to WOO, the hiding whippoor-
will,
And all the happy bird-songs are forever
What IL the earth should e'er be wrapt In
endless night,
And cireling moons attendant wander with
out light,
What can betide,

Let suns and spheres, sweet body, breath,
all ended be,

TELEPHONES FOR FARMERS,
Their Great Advantage and Influence in
the Country.

| the Country.
In this age Of cheap application of
electrical science to human need one
is not surprised at the rapid extension
of telephone communication in the
smaller towns and even villages Of the
country. Nor can we really affect
surprise when we learn that the boon
of cheap telephone exchanges is in q
fair way of being extended in the
purely rural districts. We are al
ready informed that in central Kansas
there are number of ranches con-
nected by telephone with one another,
enabling the owners and their families
to enjoy intimate communication for
both social and business purposes.
The Kansas plan is to utilize the
little railroad station in the vicinity of
farming district as the central"
Office and to connect the various farm
houses by cheap wiring, in many
cases the barb wire fences being used
for this purpose. There is no insula-
ton, the only care taken being to see
that there are no broken fences and to
carry the wires across the roads by
means of high poles, connecting again
on the other side to the fence wires.
The only real expense is the telephone
instrument in each house, the cost Of
which is said to average 50. A plan
somewhat similar to the one described
has been experimental with on some
of the larger Nebraska ranches, and
we are informed that wherever tried
the success is so marked as to guoran-
tee rapid extension of the system
through the rural districts. There is
no mention as yet of any action by the
large telephone trusts in regard to
patent iniringements by the farmers,
and probably such action, if taken,
may be successfully resisted by one or
more of the Independent companies.
Why should the average farmer or
his family be cut off from intercourse
with neighbors or adjoining munich
palities? 1t is probably question of
time when the farmers will have the
benefit of free postal delivery, at least
in the older settled neighborhoods,
and it is but step along the line Of
progress to telephone communication
at very slight expense to each rural
subscriber. The saving of time and
horse-hesh, to say nothing of the in
creased facilities for business transac.
tions resulting from the introduction
of farm telephones, renders it ex-
tremely probable that when once
proved successful they will be ex-
tended as paying investments
For, the female members OF the
average rural household no words are
too strong to picture the altered condi-
tons of life that will ensue from the
introduction of the telephone. Isola-
ton is pronounced by all sociologists
the greatest bane of farming life, and
is probably responsible for more
dwarfed womanhood than any other
single cause. The telephone, for
social reasons alone, will prove itself
a benefactor to rural communities by
exchanging for monotony and isolation
the benefits which are already con-
sidered indispensable to urban
dwellers. Chicago Chronicle.

was formed Of three pieces OF timber,
instead of spindle and slabs.
When the great modern American
schooner came out with its three and
four, and sometimes more lofty masts
for some of these vessels sticks 80
or 80 feet in length were required
the demand for mast timber was greatly
increased. With the extensive demand
prices went MP, and the built-up masts
were made for the big schooners;
masts were made not hoped, but
boltcd together, and such masts proved
perfectly serviceable.
Most of the deep-water ships built
nowadays, however, have lower masts
of iron. The ships themselves are
made of iron and of steel, and their
masts are made Of the same material.
Iron masts are, of course, not indie
structible, but they are longer lived
than masts Of wood.
There is now lying at u South street
pier n fine, big American wooden ship
whose three lower masts are all differ.
ent, and this came about in the
simplest way in the world. When she
came from the Maine shipyard in
which she was built, her three lower
masts were Of wood, built up. In the
course of time her foremost showed
signs of decay, and it was condemned
and taken out. She was at that time
in the port of New York, aud there
was found here u handsome stick Of
Oregon pine, oct of which foremost
was made for her. Later decay ap-
peared in the mainmast. She was in
n British port then, whore it was
cheaper to get IN iron mast, and she
was fitted with m iron mainmast. So
now her foremost is solid stick of
timber from Oregon, her mainmast Il
of iron from England, aud her mizzen.

SHIPS MASTS.
From the Lofty sticks or solid wood TO
the Modern Masts OF Iron.

from the LOfty STICKS OF SOLID wood Ia
the Modern Masts OF Iron.
Ships masts were originally made
with the several parts. the lower mast,
the topmast, and the topgallant mast,
each OF solid stick. Big timber was
required for the large lower masts,
and when the suitable and accessible
trees had been culled ont from eastern
forests mast timber was brought from
Oregon.
The expense Of bringing the logs
ABOUND from the Pacific, Of course,
added greatly to the cost OF the mast,
and the sparmakers began making
buiit-up masts, made Of considerable
number of pieces. The built-up mast
has one advantagein the material used;
it is always difficult to get solid stick
OF suitable size for mast that is alb
solutely free from blemish. In max
ing the built-up mast, composed Of o
number Of smaller pieces, il il easily
possible to select only perfectly sound
material. The built-up masts were
usually made with spindle, a big,
square timber forming the centre or
heart, the round OF the mast being
formed by slabs laid on the sides OF
the spindle. And these parts were not
always each Of = single piece; some-
times the spindle, in its length, was
composed Of two or three pieces,
scarved or spliced together; and the
slabs also might be scarved; the
scarves in the slabs, however, not
being brought opposite those in the
spindle. The finished stick was band
cd with hoops of iron. The built-up
mast stood the service well; it was
subject only, as solid stick might be,
to decay.
Built-up masts have been made in
various ways. There heve been made,

BEN HILLS ELoQUENcE.

The nation will never yet for
get the eloquent and undaunted
Benjamin H. Hill, of Georgia,
who for years was the ablest
democratic leader in the senate.
The following is said to be an ex-
temporaneous eulogy delivered
by him upon Gen. R. E. Lee.
"When the future historian
comes to survey the character of
Lee, he will find it rising like a
huge mountain above the I'M
dulating plane of humanity, and
he will have to lift his eyes high
towards heaven to catch its sum-
NIT. He possessed every virtue
of the other great commanders
without their vices. He was a
foe without treachery, a soldier
without cruelty and a victim
without murmuring. He was a
public officer without vices, a
private citizen without wrong,
neighbor without reproach,
a christian without hypocri-
sy and a man without guilt.
He was a Caesar without his
ambition, Ere derick without
his tyranny, Napoleon without
his reward. He was as obedient
to authority as a true king. He
was as gentle as woman in life,
pure and modest as a virgin in
thought, watchful as a Roman
vestel in duty, submissive to law
as Socrates and as grand in bat
tie as Achilles.
