Won't Insure Kl0ndlkCrS.

One or two of the local agents in
this city of life insurance companies
have received instructions from the
home officers not to write any policies
for persons going or who contemplate
going to the Klondike gold fields.
Such risks are looked upon as very
bad, owing to the many dangers at
tending the trip to that far off region,
and it was because Of this fact that
the instructions were issued. The
fact thai many persons who are gong
to the Klondlke want to get their lives
insured for the benefit of their families
shows OF itself that the applicants for
policies recognize that the trip is full
OF danger. 1t is estimated that al
ready over one-hundred persons who
LETT Seattle have died. In their ex-
citement to reach the new colorado

provision for the trip. which is one
full of hardship As well as danger.
From what is said there will undoubt-
eddy be a great deal of suffering at
Klondike this winter.

IN Error.

The following item is going the
rounds Of the papers:
John D. Rockefeller sleeps seven and one
half hours every night, retiring at 1920 and
rising ate Every morning when ne gets up
he is 81. 705 richer than when he went 70 bed.
He sits down 10 breakfast at O'Clock and
in that short half hour his wealth has grown
q .04550 ON Sunday he goes 70 church and
in the Two nours he IS away from home his
riches have growns4,166. His nightly amuse-
ment IS playing the violin. Every evening
when he picks up the instrument ne Is
$4,000 richer than he was when ne laid 1t
down the previous night.
A gain of 1927, 705 in seven and one
half hours is a gain of So, 694 an hour.
But a gain Of s1,045.50 in half day
is a gain Of only S2,091 an hour. The
fellow that started this story should
explain why wealth grows SO much
faster at night than in the morning.

HOT SPRINGS IN UGANDA.
Interesting Report of Their Working
Made by bishop Tucker.

hAUs ny oishOp Iucker.
The following is an interesting
story concerning the hot springs mt
kuwenzori, in the Uganda, as related
by Bishop Tucker:
AS the sun went down, expecting the
cold, we had fire lighted outside our
tent. but TO our establishment the heat
became so great that we had to remove
the fire, and, sure enough, as time went
on, it seemed to get worse and worse
1t was impossible to sleep-in fact, it
was worse than the worst night on the
Red sea, and the same distressing kind
Of heat Unable to sleep, we Law per
spring as if we were in a Turkish bath
Next morning we spent in inspecting
the wonderful hot springs which lay
about one hour away to the left. The
boiling water was bubbling up all over
space of about 100 yards. Down the
center is a channel in which the hot
water collects and runs away, forming
good-sized stream rs it gets free OF
the springs.
We found number of people bath
ing at the time, as they believe the
water is sure cure for almost every
disease. We placed few potatoes in
one of the largest springs and had the
pleasure of eating them, beautifully
boiled, in about ten minutes. I am told
that the natives living round here boil
their potatoes here every day, and are
thus saved firewood and water. The
bathers have their bath by diverting
one of the hot streams in large hole
dug in the ground.

MANUAL Fon ARMY COOKS.

Camp Cooking Not SO Bad az Might BE
Supposed.
In camp life the joys of dining are
more precarious than N the barracks
because of the many inconvenience to
proper cooking of the food, says the
Chautauquan. However, as an offset
20 this drawback to camp life, the APP
petite is better in outdoor life. For
field use the cooking utensils are neces-
sarlly simple. The dishes are few and
instead of the reliable barrack range in
the shelter of tidy kitchen some rude
cooking place must be improvised. Of
these cooking places the simplest and
most economical as to fuel is in the
form OF trench dug in the ground
With moderate weather. favorable soil
and sufficient skill such a stove can be
made to answer every purpose. Field
ovens, too, of primitive fashion are con-
structed for baking soft bread, +" beans,
meats. etc. This is done even when the
army IS on the march, provided the
weather is not too stormy for the bread
10 rise.
For individual cooking and eating on
the field, necessitated by emergencies,
the government furnishes each soldier
with one meat can and plate combined,
one three-pint canteen, one tin cup, one
knife, fork and spoon.
With all it's hardships. camp cooking
with the most primitive Implements is
not so fatal TO good food as might be
supposed. Perhaps the chief reason of
this is that there are many recipes for
cooking meats. breads, vegetables,
soups, etc, adapted to just such cozli-
tons of fire and dishes.

New England in the New Tariff.

We can see no good reason for the cry
that New England interests have been sac
rificed or ignored in the new tariff bill,
which now fills the mouths of the free
traders in this section. 1t happens that
Congressman Dingley and Senator AL
drich, chairmen of the two committees
that framed the bill, are both New Eng
landers, thoroughly posted as to our
business enterprises and their needs, and
1t goes without saying that they have not
drawn or asSented to a tariff which is not
all that their constituents can reasonably
ask for, and an examination of the diff
ferent schedules will show that they have
been mindful of their duties and their
opportunities. All our industries have
been given practically all the protection
asked for. All the products of our farms
and factories are upon the dutiable list,
and the rate is sufficient to close the gates
against the foreign competition which has
been so disastrous. The home market
for cottons, woolens, machinery, paper
cutlery, jewelry, and the products of our
farms, quarries and forests, has been
secured to us so far as it can be done by
tariff.
obliged to concede to others an equal
measure of advantage, and we can find no
evidence in the bill that our representa-
tives have done any more than that I'm
doubtedly there are New England peo-
pie who, like the southern Democrats, de-
mand and desire free trade in all they
have to buy and protection for all they
have to sell, but the great majority of
Yankees are not as narrow, as selfish or as
shameless as that, and while free wool,
free hides and free coal would please some
proprietors of some factories in which
these materials are used, there is general
consent that such articles are as much en-
titled to protection as the finished pro-
ducts made from them.
There is also a general belief, grown out
! of the experience of the past four years,
that the manufacturers of New England
are vitality interested in the prosperity of
those who produce the raw materials they
use and the foods consumed by their en-
ployes, and that it is good policy as well
as justice and fairness to give the western
farmer and the miner all the protection
that will profit them. Nor is this ALL
