Her Lack of Soul.

Young Bosworth Bones loved Daisy Dade
And oft in dulcet tones
He Vainly had beSought the maid
To take the name of Bones.
''Wert thou but solid, then be sure,
'Twould be all right" said she;
but Mr. B., whilst thou art poor,
Pray think no more of me-.
Poor Bones was sad: his coat was bad,
His salary was worse;
But Hope suggested; Bones, my lad,
Just try the power of verse"
So down he sat and wrote in rhyme
How she was in the spring,
And he in, summers golden prime;
And all that sort of thing.
The poem praised her hair and eyes,
Her lips were honey laden.
He wound it up, up in the skies
And mailed it to the maiden.
She read it over kept it clean,
Put on her finest raiment,
And took it to magazine
And got ten dollars payment.

AN INDIA EARTHQUAKE.

We who have felt some "temblors'
in California, and have experienced a
few seismic disturbances that rocked
our dwellings gently. or now and then
cracked a wall or marred a cornice
have no real taste of a genuine full
grown earthquake. The real sort of
quake and shake was felt in India in
the middle of June. What it was may
be gathered from the letters of a
woman at Assam. who writes to friends
In England. The London Times
gained access TO the letters and gives
them to print.
According to these accounts the
bungalow rocked like a ship in a stormy
sea. Her husband picked her out of
bed where she was sick. and carried her
into the open, stumbling over the wav-
ing floor. There was a loud rumbling
noise like thunder. Underneath foot

GOLD OUTLOOK IN ALASKA.

There are known to exist rich gold
far as transportation into Alaska is
concerned. These lie upon affluents OF
the Yukon from a point 100 miles above
its mouth to the British line That
these viii be opened and proved early
next spring is quite certain. Of the
5000 men who have started for the
Klondike, it is safe to calculate that
half of them will be stranded far short
of their destination. They may be able
to el1e out existence during the winter
though many viii fall victims to rigors
of climate and insufficient and unva-
ried food. The others will, in the spring
endeavor to reach the new mining re
gions, but a large majority win not be
able to do so, because of exhaustion OF
outfit
This latter class will, however, man
age to reach nearer points and pros
pect the streams and gulches from SOC
to 1000 miles down the Yukon from
Dawson That these viii make some
rich discoveries we believe, because il
is in evidence that gold deposits exist
along the Yukon. The largest mining
company ever formed for the Alaskan
country is made up in Chicago and cap
italized and has already in possession
fifty claims, scattered from Circle City
TO near the mouth of the Yukon, thai
are known to be worth working, and
TO promise rich returns.
The tests have been made by sink
ings on each claim at many points, and
the results of these pot-hole washing:
form the basis upon which shrewd min
ing men and careful capitalists have
invested in the company. The Cana
dian Premier is reported as saying that
he believes the gold deposits in tbs
Alaskan region to be extensive, a.
much so as on the British side, and thaf
in his opinion Alaska is to be the new
great center of gold production. There
