ALASKA Is attracting an
enormous amount Of atten-
ton just now, and every line
of matter containing refer
ence to it, is eagerly scanned
by thousands.
In view of this, perhaps it
is not out of place to mention
a few facts worth consider
ing.
1. The Alaska is con-
structed upon strictly scien-
tiflc principles, by which low
temperature and dryness of
air are naturally and newt
able obtained.
2. The Alaska has pre-
served fresh meats perfectly
for three weeks in the hot
test weather.
;. The Alaska produces
better results with less ice
than any other.
4. The Alaska possesses
the only provision chamber
free from odor.
{. Between the outer and
inner walls there is an inch
and a half space filled with
pure charcoal, and experience
extending over three and a
half years, has convinced
us that the Alaska is without
doubt, the best refrigerator
on the market, in construc-
ton, in power to preserve
perishable goods, in economy
of ice, and in fact, in ali
points necessary to make
them frst-class in every re-
SpeCt.
We have them in several
sizes, at from SIS to SIS and
also keep the Alaska ice
chests.

The Poet In Aurust.


Sweating like a Titan hurting
Rocks at everlasting foes;
Tanning with ten cent palm leaf,
Which forever faster goes;
Collarless and cuf1ess, sitting
By his desk at midnight, when
In the stead of ink of poets,
Drops of sweat run down his pen;
Mopping up his alabaSter
Brows Of Virgil wreathed in bays
Mostly made of perspiration
Grown on juicy August days;
Yanking off his outer garments,
Dripping freely at each pore,
Feeling his perspiring fancies
Soaking in his mental store;
Pouring drinks of cooling SAVIOR
Deep into his sizzling soul,
Counting comfort in a bathtub,
Yearningrfor an arctic goal.
There he sits and swears and swelters
While he writes appropriate rhyme
For the magazines and others
Which have spreads at Christmas time

Sacramento Still Advancing in the
Use of Electric Power.

The economical features and convent
enceS of our new power systems have
been the direct cause of Lindley &
Co. adding to their already extensive
establishment plant for separating,
cleaning. roasting and grinding coffee.
They also have machinery for cleaning
fruit and stemming currants, all being
operated by an inductive motor of the
very latest pattern. Drafts, brushes,
sieves. elevators, bins, roaster, cooler,
stoner and dust collector are so ar
ranged that the operator cuts his sacks
and dumps his coffee, ton at time,
through a hole in the floor at one end
of the route, turns small lever at
the motor and the machinery does the
rest. leaving the roasted coffee in a
bin suspended to the rafters above, to
be drawn off and sacked as desired
Hulls. sticks. stones and imperfect
beans get off at appointed stations along
the route. No housekeeper would parch
her own coffee after seeing the per-
fection with Which the machinery does
its work. Each grain of coffee gets its
turn at the fire with the precision OF
clockwork. A skilled operator has moth
ing to do but start the machinery and
watch the process so as to be able
to turn another lever that gives the
cooler a chance to arrest the roasting
at the proper moment and as. quickly
as steel is tempered. Nothing is over
done, nothing underdone, and nothing
wasted by burning.
Sacramentans can now get coffee
roasted by machinery in the modern
way. and, best of all, as fresh as the

RACE FOR TWO LIVES.
A Perth Amboy Wheelman Saves a
Chiid'S Life.

A special to the New York Herald"
from Perth Amboy, New Jersey, says:
Lawrence Long, of the firm of Burke
& Long, grccers, is limping around his
store to-day, the lameness being the
result Of bad fall from bicycle while
reScuing three-year-old girl from be-
meath the very wheels of a freight train
this morning. The toddler was not
hurt and ran off home, and Long does
not even know whose child she is.
Long had been out for a spin on his
wheel and was on his way home. He
was coming up the road from Maurer,
and had nearly reached the place
where the Central Railroad of New
Jersey crosses the road, when he heard
the rumble of a train coming down the
grade. He moved along slowly to let
the train pass, but, looking ahead saw
a small child on the track looking with
wonder at the approaching train.
RACE BETWEEN MAN AND TRAIN.
In an instant Long calculated the
distance between himself and the child
and between the child and the train.
Bending low over the handle bar he
started on his errand Of life saving.
The engineer saw the little one and
blew his whistle to alarm her 1t
looked as if the engine would win, but
putting on an extra squirt Long dashed
over the crossing just a few yards
ahead of the pilot of the engine. The
train hands were hanging over the cars
with bianched faces
When Long passed in front of the en-
gine he caught the child in his arms.
The trainmen burst into yell of de-
light.
HE DIDN'T MIND THIS PART.
The momentum of the bicycle was so
great that Long could not manage it,
and it dashed into a gutter-man, child
and bicycle, in a mix-up The child
was a little frightened and ran off
home.
The bicycle also came out of the af-
fair without a scratch, but Long is
painfully injured about the legs
saw him to-day, and he said: Il do
not want another experience like that.
1t seemed to take me an hour to ride
the short distance that separated me
from the child, and after l started in
the race I knew to lose it meant my
life also, and it was a race for two
lives. l am not scorcher, but would
like to see a record of the time 1 made
