The young ladies who ring one up, say,
sHello!" and then switch of, are held in
high favor by the Boston Herald. Observes
that paper: ''The action of the New Eng
land Telephone Company in dispensing
with the services of men as night operators
at the Boston central station and substi-
tuting women in their places is distinctly
creditable to the so-calIed weaker sex. We
do not understand that this change has
been made from motives of economy, but
solely for the reason that the women oper-
ators perform the service required of the
company's employees more efficiently and
more courteously."

About year ago robins nest was
broken up in the neighborhood Of Woos-
ter street, New York, and one Of tho
young birds fell from the nest to the
ground. 1t was too young to fly and was
at the mercy Of cats, dogs, boys and
other mortal enemies Of birds, when
Miss Edith Bartlett came to the rescue
and took the bird into the house. It was
provided with comfortable quarters in
q cage, and the family became SO at
tached' to it that when it reached the
flying age it was decided TO keep it for
pet rather than to turn it out into q
cold, unfeeling world in a dry season,
when worms were scarce. The bird
showed remarkable intelligence and ap-
parently took an interest in what was
going on in the family. When the win
dows were open in the fall, the robin
began to initiate the notes of birds out
side and the whistle Of boys. Miss Bart
lett began to teach the bird certain
whistles, and it became an adept It
was then given lessons in speech and
now has mastered the phrase, Hurry
up, hurry upp' which IL enunciates with
quite as much distinctness as a parrot
or other talking bird. It continues to
pick up new styles of whistling and i'm
itates other birds by the hour. .-Ex-

The Boston Advertiser recorded the
death of citizen who was hundred years
old, and in the same issue thrust the fol-
lowing paragraph as joke: 1.-THE king Of
Siam has, 1t is said, an elephant corps COM
posed Of 800 specimens Of the huge, earth
shaking beasts One advantage of an
army made up in that way would be the
absence of necessity of baggage trains, in
asmuch as each elephant would carry his
own trunk" The age should have been
attached to the joke.

In addition to the royalty every alternate

Government reserves are to be sold or
worked by the Government for the benefit

considered startling departure from al
the traditions of placer mining the world
over.
The customs officers will be despatched
to Al point near Lake Tsgish, where all
goods sent In by the Taiya route (Chilkoot
Pass) can be intercepted. At this point
also strong mounted police post will be
erected and the strength OF the Yukon
police will be augmented by an additional
detachment of eighty men. Small police
posts will be established about fifty miles
apart up to Fort Selkirk. These will serve
as stations for the dog trains carrying
mails and also for the relief of such travel
lers las may make the journey overland
during the winter.
There will be established a regular
mail service between Taiya and
Fort Selkirk. The Government has also
determined to test the feasibility Of con-
Meeting Dawson City with Taiya by means
of a telegraph line. Should it be found
to construct an ordinary
overhead system species of land cable
may be employed to convey the wire laid |
on the surface.
In the meantime the survey for q route |
overland from Taiya will be pushed with
all expedition, and upon the surveyors
report will depend the carrying out of the |
proposal of constructing a wagon road
through the country at least to the head of |
navigation on the Yukon |

be entered into with the United States |

Government the right Of through the |

CANADA,S OPPORTUNITY.

The Dominion cabinets discussion of
plans for the organization of the Yukon
district embraces opportunities for great
revenue, but also presents many difficulties
II the proposed policy is adopted. A letter
from Ottawa to the New York Sun tells of
some Of the provisions contemplated.
The most important decision arrived at
10 to impose tax, or royalty, upon the
output of the placer diggings. Under the
regulations recently issued the fee for re-
gistering claim was fixed at $15, while an
annual assessment Of 600 was to be paid
by the holder. Now, In addition to this,
aroyalty OF 10 per cent. will be levied
upon the output of all claims yielding $500
and under to each claim and 20 per cent.
upon each claim yielding over that
amount.
Among those posted in such matters the
opinion is freely expressed that 1t will be
impossible to SO supervise the output OF
these thousands of individual claims as to
collect royalty upon the exact yield.
Another obstacle to Its coIlection is the
fact that the mines all lie within a COM
parativeIy short distance Of the boundaries
There - nothing to prevent the miner
zrom carrying the bulk Of his gold dust,

Views OF Our Contemporaries on Matters Of
General Interest
New York Evening Sun: 1t is curious
to find those whose profession it is to look
after the public morals acting upon the
theory that the end justifies the means, no
matter how disreputable the latter may be-.

Fall River Globe: President Mckinley
chipped in silver dollar when the contri-
button plate was passed around last Sun
day, according to the press dispatches.
Inasmuch as his supporters insist that this
despised coin is worth less than 80 cents,
and, therefore, q dishonest dollar, this
would put Mr.. Mckinley in the light Of q
man working quiet little bunco game on

New York World: The cotton mills Of
New England are closing in spite Of the
new tariff. The unpleasant announce
ments of shutdowns during August repre-
sent the logical result of the prevailing
low prices Of cotton goods. Our capacity
for manufacturing cotton, under the
stimulus of tariff bounties, has outrun our
capacity for consuming the manufacture d
product, and the remedy is restriction Of
production-an old story In tariff history.

PASSES ~ THE KLONOIKE.
BY Way Of the White Pass Is Much Easier
Than by ChiIkat.

BY Way Of the White Pass Is Much Easier
Than by Chilkat.
Harry Fitzgerald, who was passen-
ger from juneau on the Walla Walla,
which arrived Saturday, brings valua-
BILE news regarding the two best known
passes to the Klondike-the Chilkat
and the White.
Il went over the White pass to Lake
Linderman on June IL, just month
before the work on the trail was com
pleted," said he. II think it is by all
odds the best Of all the passes, and / do
not understand why SO many 60 by the
way Of the Chilkat, particularly at
this time Of the year.
ION the American side private indi-
viduals have built the White pass trail,
and the Canadian government had 25
men working for four months on the
Dominion side, so that there is now q
fine broad trail over which horses and
mules can travel easily. The trail starts
at Shagaway, about three miles from
Dyea, and in more accessible landing
place than the latter.
From Shagaway, where wharf Is
to be built, the road rises steadily and
continuously until the summit Is reach
ed at point 1, 100 feet lower than the
highest point on the Chilkat The de-
scent to Lake Linderman is about the
same as on the Chilkat Packing over
the White pass costs 10 cents q pound. :"
Mr. Fitzgerald states that great guam
titles Of food are piled up along the
trail at intervals all tho way from Dyea
to Sleeps Camp, which il six miles
fromsthe summit. He says that in some
places the piles are as high as two story
houses. Not half Of these provisions can
get over this winter, but he says that
there is little danger Of spelling, az
nearly all is canned goods and -four
in stout canvas sacks. The Indian car
riers are working for those who pay the
most, and as the rush is increasing and
the adventurers are impatient the ma
tives are getting rich. Mr.. Fitzgerald
will return In four months His desti-
nation will be the Stewart river, where
he believes the discoveries will eclipse
those Of tho Klopdike. York

ignition Of petroleum hair wash which
was used upon her head by hairdress-

electric spark is sufficient to set fire to
the infiammable mixture Of combustible
gas and air. The slightest friction Of
the hand ON dry hair Is enough to cause
IN explosion of the wash, and. Lord
