A cHILD's LONG JOURNEY.

Travels from Finland to Alaska I'M
a9H. able 20 Speak English.
Travelling from Finland:t TO Alaska with
out speakinga word that anyone under
stood, without single travelling COM
panion, or without meeting a person
who knew him from one end of the
journey to theaother, is no small under
taking, but;it has just been completed
by an eightyear-old boy, says the Sc
attic Times. Magnus Nessler left n
pleasant home in far-away Finland on
June to join his father and mother,
who are working at Douglas City. He
made his long journey across the great
pond in the Storage of one of the big
ocean steamers. Here he was not so
lonely, as there were other Finlanders
on the boat who talked the language
he could understand. At New York
there was no delay, owing to a care
fully-written shipping card which had
been sewed securely on the back of
his coat before he started on the long
journey. This did away with the neces-
sity of talking as far as his getting
through without delay was concerned.
His ticket had been purchased to cover
the entire distance, and the card idrect-
ed him to Circle City hotel, at Juneau.
He reached Seattle in time to make
good connections with the Alaska boat,
ard was forwarded to Douglas by
friends. His father and mother have
not seen him since he was baby, over
seven years ago, when they left Fin
land to come to the United States.
Magnus is well-built boy, with hair
and eyes characteristic of his race. He
is exceptionally bright, and has al
ready picked up some English. He made
friends with everybody on the steamer
with whom he came in contact,
although he could only talk to them by
signs.

Last Heard Words of a King Who Had
Been Drunk Fifteen Years.

In other lands there are drinks far be-
yond ours in strength and strangeness,
says the Chicago Times-Herald. There
is the Russian vodki, for instance. A
gill of it poured down O Carthagenian
mummy will set that long dead person

west: 1.-Two drinks of it will make a

The West Indian gets from the cocoa
nut clear pure water, toddy and ar
rack, which is rock-splitting brandy.
OF their toddy Boyle says at looks like
skim milk and smells like 500 slaves in
a pen" The Marquesans have a seduc-
tive drink called aroo. A number of
young boys sitting in a circle chew
fresh cocoanut and when it is sufi-
GENTLY masticated expectorate it into
a bowl that is the common receptacle.
Fresh water is poured upon this delect-
able mixture and it is allowed to fer
ment. The South Sea islanders pre-
pare the ava root in the same way. Paul
du Chaillu once found a wonderful
drunkard in the person of the king of
Olenga-Y ombi. When he was an in
FAINT his father would take him to the
top of a small tree and force him to
drink palm wine, until he came to pre-
fer it to his mothers milk. 1t was the
ingenious parents ambition to make
him the champion boozer of equatorial
Africa, and he succeeded. The king of
Olenga-Yombi in Du Chaillu's time had
been solidly drunk for Is years, and

The white House.

The steady growth of the nation has
rendered necessary great expansion of
the capitol at Washington, but nothing
has been done to increase the size of the
white house. says the Washington Post.
The latter remains as it was when first
occupied by President John Adams. at
the beginning of the present century.
It's narrow quarters have caused a vast
amount of embarrassment to its tenants
from time to time. For example, when
the prince of Wales was here the ut
most difficulty was found in making
room for him and few persons of his
immediate suite, even when a part of
the Office quarters was utilized for
sleeping purposes. There Is an urgent
demand for more rooms for the enter
tainment Of distinguished guests OF the
nation on such exceptional OCCASIONS.

PENSION VOTED TO A HORSE.
Oregon Fire Commissioners Retired
Faithful Equine Servant.

Faithful Equine servant.
The board of fire commissioners has
decided that the big bay horse Jerry,
which has faithfully served the city in
the fire department for II years, and is
now 20 years of age, shall be given his
time for the remainder of his days and
be a pensioner on the city, says the
Portland Oregonian. This horse and
his mate were purchased by the city
in the days of the volunteer fire depart
ment, to draw ladder truck No. /, and
for several years they did this work,
which is now considered pretty heavy
job for the three horses attached to the
truck. When the paid department was
organized Jerry became member of it,
and has discharged his duties faithfully
ever since. He is now entitled to be con-
sidered "aged," having served longer
than the usual span of life allotted to
horses, and the commissioners do not
feel inclined to sell him for a trifle to
some one who will perhaps starve and
abuse him, and render the remainder of
his life uncomfortable, so they have de-
cided that he is to have free hay and oats
at the expense of the city as long as he
lives.
