Freeze the Flames of Candles and
Sell Them for Strawberries.
According to the Alaska Miner, a
gentleman who has just escaped from
the Klondike region gives the following
account of some things that happened
there: "A man told me who had win
tered up there seven years that it was so
cold in January that they froze the
flames of their candles and sold them
for strawberries. He said they kept
their fires over night by putting them
out in the air and letting them freeze,
and then thawed them out in the morn
ing. He said he had seen four men die
of collie from eating whisky that was
frozen SO hard it wouldn't thaw inside
of them. He said the cows all gave ice
cream till they froze to death. He said
he knew clerk in hotel on the Yukon
that got rich selling the diamonds he
wore, said diamonds being nothing on
earth but ice crystals that didn't thaw
till after the clerk had got out Of the
country. He said he had seen q man
fall off the roof of a barn and freeze so

when he hit the ground. He said he had
seen smoke freeze in chimney till the
FIRE wouldn't draw, and he knew Of one
case where the smoke froze after II
got hundred feet up and fell back on
the house, knocking a hole in the root
big enough to drive yoke of steers
through. He said the reason that
nights were so long in that country
was that the dark got frozen SO hard
the daylight couldn't thaw its way
through in less than six months"

In 1872 Mr.. w. Bancroft Espeut i'm
ported four pairs Of the Indian mon
goose for the purpose of destroying
the "cane-piece, rat" Ten years later,
says Nature, 1t was estimated that the
saving to the colony through the work
of this animal amounted to C 100000 an
nually. Then came sudden change in
the aspect of affairs. 1t was found that
the mongoose destroyed all ground
nesting birds, and that the poultry, as
we'll as the insectiverous reptiles and
batrachians Of the island. were being
exterminated by it. Injurious insects
increased in consequence thousand
fold; the temporary benefits of the in
PRODUCTION were speedily wiped away.
and the mongoose became pest.
Domestic animals, including young
pigs, kids, lambs. newly-dropped calves.
puppies and kittens, were destroyed by
it, while it also ate ripe bananas, pine
apples, young corn, avocado pears.
sweet potatoes, cocoas, yams. peas.
sugar cane, meat and salt provisions
and fish. Now we are told nature has
made another effort to restore the bal

to the destruction by the mongoose Of
their destroyers has come an increase
of ticks, which are destroying the mon
goose, and all Jamaicans rejoice.

HON. J. R. BURTON, of Kansas, who
knows the politics of that state like a
book, said: Speaking fguratively
Kansas is now wearing its Sunday
clothes every day. Our people have
been paying off debts with rapidity
that has no parallel. This year after
discharging heavy total of obliga-
tions. they haye been able to save $780,
600, 900. and have lived we'll besides.
There has been improvement all along
the line, agricultural, commercial and
political. The Republican party, after
battling hard since 1900, and with a
constantly increasing vote, at last can
see supremacy in sight. 1t has been a
hard fight against the mbined oppo-
sition forces, but regard it as certain
that the party will triumph at the
polls next year and in 1890. AS fusion
will soon be a thing of the past, SO
will populism. That had bigger run
in Kansas than anywhere else, but it is
dying out everywhere"
