Topics of the Day.

The Gold Fields of the Yukon Valley
which appears in DemOrest's for Octo-
Der, is a timely article ON this subject,
which is now of most absorbing inter
est. Authoritative statements con-
corning the people, country and mar
velOus gold deposits, together with ex-
cellent illustrations, and one of the
best maps of the Klondike region vet
published, combine to render this an
article of far-reaching interest and i'm
portance.
The religious world will find in the
same number a valuble and strikingly
interesting article, giving the discovery
a few months ago of an old manuscript,
containing eight sayings of Our Lord,
which are believed to be authentic, and
certainly have a deep interest for all
Christendom, if they are.

teresting alike to mothers and artists,
and is beautifully illustrated in a man
ner that is an object lesson to the
strivers after picturesque effects. The
picturesque element is also found in
this magazine, in the very clever de-
scriptiOn of that most famous French
cafe. "The Black Cat.
The serial "Bobbie McDuff," and
the short story "a Peripatetic Hazard, "
of especial interest to golfers, which
appear in this number, are cleverIy

pathetic fashion.
The various departments are filled with
a variety of matter at once bright, use
full and instructive; covering the
ground from the "Care of Children, -
to Bicycle Tea" The Fashion De-
partment with this number is one of
the most complete and artistic ever
published. Thirty-eight patterns are
given of the latest Partisan styles for

ALASKAN GOLD DEPOSITS.

1t is the general opinion among geol-
ogists that the Alaska gold deposits
are the mother vein of gold of North
America; that the gold veins in the
Rockies of the United States, and even
as far south as the Sierras, are deposits
from the glacial districts of nothern
Alaska and British Columbia.
It is also generally conceded that the
''fnds" in the Yukon Valley are the
''wash" from the snow w-capped peaks of
the Mount ST. Elias Alps, which has
been loOsened from the original bed
ding by the action of weather, water
and ice, and carried down by volumes
of water to be deposited along the val
ley and river-beds. The Alaskan gla-
ciers, which are among the largest in
the world, are also efficient agents in
furnishing placer-gOld supplies, NOV
ing, as they do, slowly and irresistibly
over the country, tearing up rocks and
carrying sand, gravel and boulders
down into the gulches and streams,
and finally depositing them wherever
the ice melts The natural course of
the glaciers is from the mountains of
the enterior toward the sea; the warmer
currents once reached, great masses of
of the ice break off, melt away and set
free their freight of golden sand, which
in turn is washed ashore, and forms
the rich placer "fnds" so frequent
along the Pacific coast.
Proofs of the foregoing statement are
offered in the character of the con-
ditions prevailing in the gold regions
The river bed of the Yukon, as we'll as
the beds of its valuable tributaries, all
yield shining, auriferous sand and
gravel and boulders. The spring fresh
cts bring down mighty floods from the
great glaciers of the gold-bearing Cor
dillera range, which frequently break
over the banks in torrents and food
the valley of the Yukon for miles. If
this theory is as practicable as geOlo
gists contend, then the gold supply of
the Alaskan fields is apparently mex
haustible.-B Mary AnnabIG FantOn,

Don't Plant too Much Wheat.

The phenomenal rise in the price of
wheat has been the sensation in the
mercantile world. The demand has
been brisk from all classes Of buyers,
particularly foreigners, and the dream
of farmers for "dollar wheat" has been
more than realized. 1t is estimated
that the wheat crop of this country will
yield producers $3.50, 900, 600 to 5000,
600 more than last years crop did. It
is very gratifying to have tremendous
crop when the price is at the top notch,
but this very satisfactory condition
should not make farmers forget their
experience in former years following
similar movements in the wheat mar
ket. They should not devote their
entire acreage to wheat, because if
there is another big crop there will be
a large surplus, with a possibility of
lack of foreign demand. The heavy
export movement has been the real
stimulus to the market, aud it would
be well for growers to remember this
and consider all the conditions before
they discard other crops. Don't plant
too much wheat. 1t may be a drug on
the market next year. ar.-BaltimOrC

ding at one O'Clock Wednesday, when
Mr.. Daniel Paddock Barnard, of Will

large and fashionable assemblage.
Miss Essie Barnard, sister of the

white satin ribbon trimming, and car
rying white roses and maiden hair

American Butter in London.

England is dependent for the greater
part of her supply of butter upon other
countries. Much of it comes from Aus
tralia, from the low countries and from
Sweden. The United States Secretary
of Agriculture has been conducting
some market experience by sending
quantities of American butter to dealers
in London. The last consignment
was in June and the results were only
partially satisfactory. 1t cost p cents
a pound by the ton to carry butter
from Central Minnesota to London.
The London dealers paid from Is to 10!
cents a pound for it, paying at the
same time 90 cents for Danish butter.
1t was sold to customers "a to 26
cents-the retail price of ne Danish
butter The producers in Minnesota
got about cents pound more for the
butter sent to London than they got
for the same butter sold in New York.
A consignment of New England cream
cry butter was sold for less than the
producers got at home.

quenched her last hope.

turning to his youngest sister, who was
blushing like a young Aurora sit was

what shall 1 tell him, Hilda, for he has
asked my permission to court you in
earnest? He wants you for his wife. :"
Hilda's answer was unintelligible,
but the wedding that took place
shortly after, in which Hilda Cymon
became Mrs. Rathburn, showed plainly
enough what her answer had been.
One day after the wedding the real
Mr.. Allen made his appearance. He
was a meek-lOoking man; but he
proved an excellent teacher for the
school Eric obtained for him, and after
awhile married one of his buxom schol-
ars, and grew to be quite a prosperous
man.

CHIEF CAUSE.

Unhealthy urine from unhealthy
kidneys is the chief cause of bladder
troubles. So the womb, like the blad-
der, was created for one purpose, and
if not doctored too much is not liable
to weakness or disease, except in rare
cases. It is situated back of and very
near to the bladder, therefore any
pain, disease or inconvenience mani
tested in the kidneys, back, bladder or
urinary passage is often, by mistake,
attributed to female weakness or womb
trouble of some sort. The error is
easily made and may be easily avoided.
To find out correctly, set your urine
aside for twenty four hours; a sedi-
ment or settling indicates kidney or
bladder trouble. The mild and extra
ordinary effect of DR. Kilmer's Swamp
Root, the great kidney, and bladder
remedy is soon realized. If you need
medicine you should have the best.
At druggists fifty cents and one dollar.
You may have a sample bottle and
phamphlet, both sent free by mail.

Hog Cholera Cure.

VIM. G. Simms, of Kent Island, had
several hogs sick with what is called
hog cholera. Several had died, and he
had four more seriously sick with the
disease. His wife determined to try
dosing them herself. She accord
ingly put a teaspoonful of turpentine
to a half a pint of new milk for each
hog and drenched them with it. The
next day she found her hogs
improving, and after giving them a
dose each day for three days, three of
the hogs got entirely we'll; the other,
being so far gone in the beginning
died. George S. Palmer, of Centre
vile, hearing of the remedy, tried it on
his hog which was sick, aud in few
days his hog also seemed improved, and
seems to be getting well. This remedy
is simple, and certainly worth trying.

ONE OF TWO WAYS.

The bladder was created for one pur-

and as such it is not liable to any form
of disease except by one of two ways.
The first way is from imperfect action

from careless local treatment of other

states that the malady has now spread

become general Throughout the State.
He is of the opinion that tits caused by

most entirely confined to horses which
