His Way of Making Money

There may be some instances, though
I do not now remember any, where
man ever amassed great wealth by his
own personal efforts, but my experience
has been that when men have secured
great riches it is because they have been
fortunate in combining the efforts of
others in their interests and thus in
creasing their possessions" explained a
prominent and very wealthy man. Il

any other, and it fully illustrates my

New Bits of Fancy Work

New methods and suggestions for
achieving pleasing results in the deco
rations of linen are never more welcome
than when summer is here ,and leisure
time is spent on the piazza. For dining
table accessories, pillow and table covers,
scarfs, portieres, bedspreads, ETC.. only
washable fabrics and working threads
are worth expending ones time and ef
forts on. For grounds there is an un
precedented variety of linen and cotton
stuff in soft and pleasing colors, that lend
themselves readily to artistic results
Among the more effective are round
thread linen, plain satin damask, linen
lawn and cambria, French handspun and
japanese linen, huckab back, monte CLOTH
colored art linen and duck and crash. In
Cottons, denim easily leads in both
texture and coloring; then comes duck,
drill, Villa cloth, pique, chambray and
sateen.
White embroidery is popular for table
linen. Soft colors, especially for fine en-
broidery, are altogether too pleasing to
ever be supplanted. On the other hand,
in embroidering pillows, portieres or
other large pieces, strong colors and color
contrasts are often needed to relieve
monotony and give character to room.
A design should be suited to the room
for which it is intended as well as to the
purpose for which it is used. For in
stance, portieres and bedspreads should
be embroidered in arabasques and scrolls
and other bold, conventionalized de-
signs that give a greater effect of rich
ness and dignity than flowers and birds.
The decorations or uses of room often
suggest an appropriate design as we'll as

A Place for George

One day we were at luncheon, although
t was 6:15 p. m. when a lady was an
lounced and ushered in at once. She
was apparently an old friend of the
family, and she opened fire without
osng a moment: Il am so glad, M.
Ralli, that you are prime minister of
Greece, and, my George, won't he be
,eMghted, too! You remember him.
lon't you? He is at the front, you
NOW, working wonders. Now I want
5ou to do him little service; you can
10 it with a stroke of the pen, you know,
and we shall all be so grateful"
Here the minister looked at the lady
from above the rim of his spectacles,
and, with a humorous twinkle in his
ayes, asked her what the service was.
She copiously explained it. And do
you know what the law says on the
subject?" he inquired, when she paused
to draw breath. "Oh, of course l do
but then you know that the law has of
ten been disregarded, and, besides,
YOU" Il am very sorry to have to re-
fuse you anything" exclaimed the
minister, laughingly interrupting; "but
you might just as well ask for the moon.
1t is absolutely impossible. If the law
weree the embodiment of injustice it
must be administered till it is changed
by parliament" But won't you listen
to reason and argument" mo, madam,
it is useless. I am very sorry, but the
law must take it's course" The lady
rose in dudgeon and left in haste, and
her Georges anticipated delight lost
its raison d'etre. She is not likely to
interrupt his luncheon again in the hope
of inducing him to suspend the law for
her on.-Contemporary Review.

A study OF this table in connection
with the country passed through will
enable one to estimate his position very
accurately and thus avoid running into
dangerous spots without due prepara-
ton. There are but few of these on the
river and the traveller down the stream
will find no difficulty in steering clear of
them if he will but keek himself informed
and maintain a good lookout ahead.
Many Many parties by close study of
the river and accurate calculations as to
speed and distances ahead ARE able to
run day and night, almost without stop,
over the most of the river voyage.
To sum up, no man should attempt
the journey to the interior unless he en-
joys perfect health and is prepared to
meet hardship and privation and to en-
dure climatic seventies. He must have
vigor pluck and endurance and expect
reverses and disappointments. He should
have $500 in cash after his outfit is pur-
chased to meet contingencies liable to
arise at any moment. These conditions
may seem hard, but they are inexorable.
WORKING THE PLAERS
The placers of the Yukon are, as a rule,
worked by methods necessarily pecu-
liar. In the best of them thus far de-
veloped the pay gravel is buried beneath
a mass of barren overburden composed
principally of decomposed Vegetable
matter, varying in depth from few
inches to thirty feet. In some instances
it is possible to wash this away down to
pay gravel, but the lack of grade rem
ders it impra in all but few
places, and of course this can only be
done in any place during the short sum-
mers.
The plan most generally followed is to
sink shafts to the pay gravel and by
drifting or tunneling upon it uncover and
hoist the greatest possible amount to the
surface through the shaft. This work
can only be done in winter when the
whole overburden is frozen solid, as in
summer the soft character of the soil
and the excess of water renders such
work impossible. The frozen soil is
| harder to penetrate than ordinary rock.
for blasting does not break it up, and the
only way to sink these shafts is by a
process known as burning" plan pc
culiar to this country, and which has
already been described in detail.

WORDS TWENTY FEET LONG
Examination of Sounds Registered
on Phonograph

An instrument was recently exhibited
at the Royal Society of Edinburgh by
which the minute marks on phono-
graph cylinder produced by music or
speech were multiplied about 1000 times.
so that the form of each vibration and
the number OF vibrations for any given
sound could be seen. Little waves, each
wave being vibration, were recorded
on long ribbon of paper. The inventor
accomplished this by taking advantage
of Lord Kelvins siphon recorder. In
making an observation the phonograph
cylinder was moved about 1000 times
slower than when it gave out the sound.
and the vibrations occurring in half a
second of time were spread along a rib
bon of paper twenty feet in length Thus
each vibration could be seen. With re-
gard to human speech, an inspection of
one of these curves proves that a word
such as Constantinople, or indeed any
other word, was simply collection of
musical or other sounds running rapidly
into each other.
The musical sounds of the vowels pre-
dominated, but the so-called consonants
were also often musical sounds more or
less distinct. The word above men,
toned contained 700 or 900 vibrations. ac-

curves, to read off the word, as the
tracings of the same word would rarely
if ever. be alike, because it was almost
impossible to speak word twice with
exactly the same quality of tone and
emphasis.-St. Louis Globe Democrat.

slon OF necessary article brings hard

quired entails the useless labor of car
rying 1t or the loss of throwing it away.
1t should be renfemb bered that the best
is always the cheapest, as goods of an
inferior quality rapidly deteriorate,
quickly become valueless and must be
thrown away. All provisions should be
packed in oiled sacks of stout close ma
terial to prevent spelling by water or
moisture. 1t is extremely unwise to
carry less supply than will suffice for at
least one and half or two years. De-
spite the best efforts of the trading COM
panies there never has been an over
abundance of provisions in the interior
and at times the people have suffered
severe shortages. The present summer
has witnessed larger migration han
ever, and many of the people foolishly
carried only a minimum supply. The
companies at best will be able to fur
nish no more than a bare sufficiency for
those included in their estima ties and the
great rush following must be prepared
for self-support or hardships and priva-
ton will surely ensue

Having secured the outfit, the first
stage of the journey begins on one of
the several local steamers plying be-
tween Juneau and Dyea, distance of
100 miles, fare $40, including transporta-
tien for an outfit of ordinary size. Four
or five men should compose each party
as one tent, stove, set of tools, etc, will
suffice for all. One of the party should
have a knowledge of boat building, for

ing it optional with parties whether or
not bodybuilding tools are carried

From Dyea to the lakes distance OF
23 to 2S miles, according to the point
aimed at, is the only difficult part of the
route, as all supplies must be trans
ported on sleighs or by packing, accord
ilg to the season, and a prec,pitous noun
tain must be crossed. The work, how
ever, may be given to packers, who are
always on the ground and who will land
goods at the lakes from Dyea safely and
expeditiously at the rate of about Sl'
per hundred weight, or to the top of the
summit for a proportionate amount
Thenceforward the journey is simply
one of floating down the stream. keeping
sharp lookout, however, for the few
dangerous places which the we'll in
formed traveller will recognize as he ap-
proaches them.
