wide, and the Indian hunters receive
from the local traders all the way from
$40 to 800 fora skin. Of all animals
hunted by man the sea otter is the
hardest to catch. The Aleuts do most
of this hunting, and as it is done in
canoes out in the ocean, it is quite
dangerous. The worlds supply of
otter fur as well as sealskin comes
from Alaska.
perhaps few of the thousands
rushing to Alaska for gold know the
magnitude of the Yukon River" said
Mr.. Branson, in conclusion. ut is
the Mississippi of Alaska, and is one
Of the twelve longest rivers in the
world. Some explorers even claim
that the volume of water emptied by
the Yukon River is greater than that
Of the Mississippi, but I can hardly
believe that assertion. But Yukon,
besides being navigable for 1900
miles, is, on the average, five miles
wide for almost half the distance from
it's mouth. The river really has five
mouths at Norton Sound, and it is
seventy-6ve miles across these mouths
and the dcltas. But this great river
freezes to a depth Of FIVE or six feet in
winter. In the summer the banks Of
the Yukon furnish the breeding places
for the canvas.back ducks of America,
and up to a few years ago the breed
ing place of those wild fowls was a
mystery. Millions of geese, ducks
and swans nest there and live on the
wild salmon berries, red and black
c%urrants, cranberries, blackberries and
bilberries in the summer. BY the
way, the wild strawberries Of the Yu-
kon are the sweetest known. Alto
gether. it can be said that Alaska is a
wonderful country, with many things
other than gold and glaciers. "-&

Electric Trains q Success.

The management of the New York,
New Haven and Hartford railroad
one of the best in the east-began
experiments with electricity as g
motive power for general traffic almost
a year ago. From the first, the officers
of the company were sanguine Of sue
cess, it is said, and the most serious
difficulty in the way of accomplishing
practical results-viz., the conveyance
Of the electric impulse for much greater
distances from the dynamo stations
than has been necessary in operating
trolley roads-has at last been tri-
umphantly overcome.
A few days ago a trial run was made
by a train moved by electricity, and
the motive power was found to be fully
effective. Thirteen miles from the
central station in both directions were
covered, and that without auxiliary or
relay dynamos, rendering it possible
to make a transit of twenty-five miles
by the propulsion of a single current.
The speed of the electric train was
little less than a minute and a half to
the mile, and the u was accomplished
''between two trains" without the
slightest hindrance to the regular
schedule. Commenting on this great
achievement, the New York CONNER
cial Advertiser says:
Provided that no important difficulty
is involved in the question Of expense,
it now seems to be certain that for all
way and local express trains the electric
power system can be adopted and to
the great advantage both Of the public
and the railway companies. To the
benefit Of the latter, it will reduce
materially the aggregate weight of the
rolling stock employed in the number
of passengers carried, and consequently
also the deterioration Of rails and
wheels and axles. The ponderous,
cumbersome separate locomotives are
no longer required. For the passen-
gers, the doing away with smoke and
cinders and the danger Of explosion is
no small desideratum.
1t is very probable that a higher
speed, if not longer power circuits,
may be made possible by speedy i'm
provement of the new system. This
may mean the exclusion Of steam
altogether from use in railway loco
motion, except, perhaps, for the
heavier freight traffic, and even event.

that which would follow death, at the

"Never but once" she replied, "and
then it was the fault Of an evangelist.
It was after the fight at Fort Donel-
son. Eighty MORALLY wounded men
had been brought into my ward at the
St. Louis hospital, among them a SOL

over the bed, said: "Have you

The average clergy

The average clergy
man is not a healthy
man. There are many
reasons that contrib
ute to make him deli
hocate. He leads a
.sedentary life.
He doesn't take
sufficient exer-
else. Just the same
he is a Woodworking
man. He k too
much trouble about
other peoples troub-
les to trouble much
about his own. He
thinks too much
about other sick peo.
pie to look after his
own health. The re-
suit is that the hard
working clergyman
becomes a semi in
valid early in life,
The Anderson intelligencer. [volume] (Anderson Court House, S.C.) 1860-1914, 1897-08-18

There is no necessity for this. A clergy
man adds nothing to his usefulness, but
greatly detracts from it, by neglecting his
health. If a man, be he clergyman or layman,
will resort to the right remedy just as soon
as he feels out Of sorts, and knows that he
is a little bilious, or that his liver is torpid,
or his digestion is out of order, he will re-
main healthy and robust and add much to
his usefulness and many years to his life.

The report reached the ears
of Officer Pulliam that n man
fitting very closely the descrip-
ton of Faulkner was sick in
the vicinity OF the yellow hills,

bied himself to that neighbor-
hood. After diligent search he
was eventually successful in
finding his man lying out in the
woods, with his horse grazing
close by.
He very forcibly denied his
name to the officer. saying his
true name was james Ellington.
His description fitted so closely
that of the man he wanted that
Mr.. Pulliam said he would take
chances on him anyhow, and
brought him to Ardmorc, where
on the street he was recognized
as Jim Faulkner. the cattle
thief. As lie was being put in
Jail, he asked Mr.. Pulliam 10

admitted that he was the man.
