Rich Strikes Made.

San Francisco, Aug. 2S.-A dispatch
from Seattle says that rich strikes have
been made on the American side in the
Yukon valley. This news was brought
down by the passengers on the schoon-
er Sander, which reached Seattle Thurs
day. The scene of this latest find is
on the Menook river, a tributary of the
Yukon flowing into that stream from
the north. The new placers are located
about 300 miles northwest of Circle
City. When the Sanders passengers
left Dawson the news of the Menook
strike had not been received and they
gathered their information on the trip
down the river. j. S. Densmore, who
told the story, said about dozen men
were working the Menook placers and
the gravel showed very rich. James
Langford was the only man on the river
who had reached bed rock. In one week
two men took from his claim 125 ounces
of coarse gold and nuggets. The at
tention of mining men ali over the Pa
cifc coast is now turned to the Amer
lean side of the boundary in the Yukon
valley.

he proceeded TO touch upon n variety

of the war as taught TO children in the
books of the public schools, and which
has recently come in for large share of
public attention, he said:
mo subject in which the Grand Army In
interested is more important than that the
truth of history should be taught to our
children. The committee OF eminent COM
rades appointed by me TO consider and re-
port upon this subject have given much
time and thoughtful consideration to II,
and l do not hesitate to say you will be
you will approve their report and recon-
mendations. Ii Is certainly not the object
of the Grand Army of the Republic to
keep open the wounds of the war, but OF
this we are determined-that one side of
that great struggle was right and the other
side was wrong-and we were not the
wrong side, and we don't intend that our
children shall be taught that we were.

receive the careful consideration of this
encampment, and this or a similar COM

A NEW theory of sunstroke has re-
Gently been expounded and is of partic-
ular interest at this season, when the
source of the worlds heat is getting in
its hottest work. This theory is that
what is called sunstroke is in fact the
creation within the blood of the victim
of a specific poison that acts upon the
nerve centers or ganglia and so affects
the brain and other organs of the body
and often causes death. The poison is
created by sort of chemical reaction,
and is thought to be made possible by
certain conditions of the kidneys.

DR.. SANDwAs, a French physician,
claims TO have discovered new system
for increasing the range of a singers
voice as much as two full notes in the
upper or lower registers. He obtains
this change by inhalations of various
aromatic vapors. Those of Curacao
liquor are said to add volume to the
high register, while vapors of dis
titled extract of pine needles will bene-
fit the lower notes. Steaming coffee
and rum will stimulate the voice in
general, strengthening the middle
range particularly.
