A WORD OF ADVICE
To Those Coming to Alaska OF cAe
 Kiondil<e Gold Fields.

One thing should be impressed upon every miner, prospector or trader com ing to Alaska. to the Klondike, or the Yukon country, and that is the neces- sity for providing an adequate and proper food supply. Whether procured in the States, in the Dominion, or at the supply stores here or further on, this must be his primary concern. Upon the manner in which the miner has observed or neglected this precau- ton more than upon any other one thing will his success or failure depend.
 These supplies must be healthful and should be concentrated, but the most careful attention in the selection of foods that will keep unimpaired in definitely under all the conditions which they will have to encounter is imperative. For instance, as bread raised with baking powder must be re- lied upon for the chief part of every meal, imagine the helplessness of a miner with can of spoiled baking powder. Buy only the very best flour; 1t is the cheapest in the end. Experi- ence has shown the Royal Baking Pow der to be the most reliable and the trading companies now uniformly sup ply this brand, as others will not keep in this climate. Be sure that the bacon IS sweet, sound and thoroughly cured. These are the absolute necessities upon which all must place chief reliance, and can under no circumstances be neglected. They may, of course, be supplemented by as many comforts or delicacies as the prospector may be able to pack or desire to pay for.-AIaska 1hasirtg Journal

4 PRETTY INCIDENT.
The Kindness of Spanish Lady to q
 Lone Soldier Boy.

A recent traveller in Spain describes a touching scene witnessed at the depar- ture of regiment for Cuba. All day long there had been heard the meas ured tread of soldiers marching through the street; all day long gayly bedecked boats had been passing to and from the vessel that was to take them to Havana. The twilight began to deepen when the correspondent saw a startling and pretty sight"-the impetuous action of a portly, good-looling and well-dressed lady, who noticed a young soldier walk ing dejectedly along down the pier in his travelling gray, with a knapsack strapped over his shoulders. All the rest of the men had friends, their novias, mothers. relatives, and made the usual gallant effort to look elated and full of hope. This lad had no one, and it might be divined that he was car rying a desolate heart over the seas. The handsome woman burst from her group of friends, took the boys hand and said: My son has already gone to Cuba. He is in the regiment of Andalu- sia, and sailed two months ago. You may meet him, Pope G.; take this kiss to him." She leaned and kissed his cheek"
 An English boy would have shown awkwarness, but these graceful southerners are never at loss for pretty gesture and pretticr word The boy blushed with pleasure, and still holding the lady's hand. said with quite
 
 silly smile: And may not take one for myself as we'll senora?" The lady reddened, laughed little nervously, and bent and kissed him again to the frantic applause of soldiers and civil ians, while the boy walked on, braced and happy.-Blackwood's Magazine.

He Hnd Flnnr lin.

The superior court was in session and the little mountain town was crowded with people. Along about the middle of the day when the judge was worried with tedious trial, Bill Williams, of the Lick Creek settlement, began gal loping up and down the streets on his little red mule, firing off his pistol, whooping like Sioux. and otherwise dispensing the energy which liberal supply of corn liquor had inspired.
 MT. Bailiff," commanded the judge, sternly. "go out and arrest that man and bring him into court.'
 The bailiff went timidly out of the courtroom and the judge attempted to proceed with business. But Williams racket outside did not cease It gre worse and the judge looked over the room for some one else to send out, and observed the bailiff sitting complacent- ly on one of the back seats.
 Look here, Mir. Bailiff, why did you mot arrest that disorderly man? Are you not an officer of the court ?"
 Yves" replied the baillff, quaking with fear. "I wuz. but I've done flung up."-Atlanta Journal.

Wonderful House Jacket.

Among other pretty things in lin- gerie is the house jacket-tea jacket or breakfast sacque, whatever you may choose to call it-and it is prettier than ever this season and more varied in style. Nuns yelling, silk, fine nainsook, lawn and French flannel are the ma- terials employed. Nuns yelling in pale blue silk, plaited, makes a pretty sacque. The plaits meet in the middle of the back where they fall little be- low the ribbon belt, which fastens at either side with bow. The front, which is all plaits. is several inches longer than the back and hangs loose from the shoulders Around the shoul- der is fichu of white chiffon with wide, very creamy lace on the edge, which falls in points to the hem i'll front. Some of these jackets have a blouse front and it in at the sides: others hang loose from yoke. which is striped with insertion. The daintiest of all is d sacquc of fine white lawn, striped all over, sleeves and all. with lace insertion, and finished with . jabot in front The sleeves are full and straight. in a sort of cape fashion, which is especially pretty for warm weather.

CERTAINTY OF DEATH.
Am OcuIist Says Tint by the Veins Of
 the Eyes One May Know.

Whether a man be really dead or not may be read in the veins of the eye.
 This important discovery has been made by Dr. Chalmers Prentice, an emi- nent Chicago oculist He says that he can tell to certainty by the appear ance of veins and arteries in the human eye whether there be any spark of life left where death has been pronounced. Or, rather, his discovery is of such a nature that death will never be pro- nounced unless the examination of the eye veins show it is absolutely certain.
 There has always been widespread, haunting fear among people of being buried alive, and Dr. Prentiee's discov- cry, if it be all he claims for it, will re- move this fear.
 His experiments along this line be- gan some 20 years ago. He had ob- served that in life the veins and ar teries of the retina have distinct diff ferences in color. The veins contain q dark, blackish blood, while the arteries contain bright crimson. At the back part of the eyeball these two shades of blood may be seen under the light of the ophthalmoscope dividing the re- tina. Even in the case of the blind this distinction i'll shade may be seen, un- less, of course, an opaque film has formed over the injured eyes, or the eyes have been entirely destroyed.
 In death, however, Dr, Prentice has found that the shade distinction entire " disappears. The blood in both arteries and veins is transformed into n pinkish color of uniform shade.
 An exhaustive examination has been made and Dr. Prentice has never found his simple test tc fall. In case of suspended animation, where others had pronounced death. he observed the shade distinction and saved the man from being buried alive.--St. Louis Re public.

THE CORONATION CHAIR.
Claimed as the Most Precious Relic
 In All England.


 Claimed as the Most Precious Relic I i'm All England.
 The most precious relic in all Eng land and to the English in all Europe is an old Gothic chair which stands in the ] chapel of St. Edward in Westminster 1 abbey beside the sword and shield of | Edward III. It is made of black oak i in the Gothic style, and the back is cov- cred with carved inscriptions, includ- l ing the initials of many famous men. 1 The feet are four lions, that look like poodle dogs with their tails curled up over their backs. The seat is a large stone about 30 inches long by IS inches wide and 12 inches thick, and all the sovereigns of England for the last 500 years have sat upon it when they were crowned. The chair is known as the coronation chair, and the stone is claimed to be the same which Jacob, the son of Isaac, the son of Abraham, used as pillow when he lay down to sleep in the starlit plains of Judah that memorable night as he was on his way from Beersheba to Haran in search of wife. It was then he had his dream, and saw angels and archangels ascend- ing and descending a ladder that reached to Heaven, and Jehovah came to him and made the great promise which is being fulfilled to the Jews this very day. And Jacob took the stone and set it up for pillow and poured oil upon it, and vowed VOW and called the name of the place Bethel.
 The kings of Israel were crowned upon this stone from the time that they ruled nation-David and Saul and Solomon and all the rest.
 The story goes that 5sO years before Christ, at the time of the Babyionian captivity, Circa, the daughter of Zede- diah, the last king of Judea, arrived in Ireland, and was married at Tara to Heremon, a prince of the Tuatha de Danan-which is said to be the Celtic name of the tribe of Dan. The tradi- tions relate that this princess went originally to Egypt in charge of the prophet Jeremiah, her guardian, and the Palace Taphanes, in which they re- sided there, was discovered in 1886 by Dr. Petrie, the archaeologist. After some years they went hence to Ireland, and from Circa and Heremon Queen Victoria traces her descent through James l., who placed the lion of the tribe of Judea upon the British stand ard.
 Jeremiah is said to have concealed this sacred stone at the time of the destruction of Jerusalem and the cap tivity of the Jews, and to have brought it. ''the stone of the testimony" Bethel, the only witness of the compact be- tween Jehovah and Israel, to Ireland, where it was known as the lia phail (stone wonderfully. It was carried to Scotland by Fergus l., and thence to London in the year 1900, and has been used at the coronation of every king and queen of England from Edward I. down to Victoria. It is thus the most priceless historical object in the Brit ish empire, as it was the Palladium of Israel. It is a curious fact that the altars of Ireland were called Bothel, houses of God
 In the same chapel surrounding the coronation chair in Westminster abbey are the graves of six kings, five queens, four princesses, a duke and bishop. w. E. Curtis. in Chicago Record.

LANGUAGE OF THE ESKIMO.
Spoken by Inhabitants of Ten Thou
 sand Miles of Coast Line.

kA
 The Eskimoan language, which is spoken at the extreme north of this hemisphere, is also found in the north of Asia The people have been called Orarians, that is, Jewellers on the shore" They inhabit a narrow strip of country around the margin of Green land, and to the west of Baffin's bay, around all the great islands and down the coast to the gulf of St. Lawrence, on the western shore of Hudson bay, and about the bays and straits to the north; then to the west around Alaska, shores of the eastern continent. They thus extend along the winding island and mainland coast for more than 10, 900 miles, inhabiting a narrow fringe of country by the sea, and obtaining their livelihood therefrom. More than 10000 miles of coastland are occupied by a people who speak one language.
 But in Newfoundland there are tribes which speak another tongue mixed with the Eskimoan, while on the southwest coast there are other tribes speaking mixed tongues; and the same is true of tribes inhabiting the north ern coast of Asia. If we call all these tongues Eskimoan, then the princi- pal tongue is still homogeneous and a common medium for the communica- tion of tribes occupying, as l have said, more than 10000 miles of the most difficult coast known to mankind. While there is intercommunication. it is infrequent because of the difficulties and perils of Arctic navigation. Thus, in all that stretch of country there is but one language. What are the condi- tions under which this language has been preserved in its integrity and homogeneity2 Simply these: The ter ritory occupied by the people speaking this language is cut off from the inte- rior by an uninhabitable belt of glacial land, so that the means of communion tion are to be found mainly on the sea ward side. The inhabitants, having been distributed over this enorrnous belt of coast from primitive tribe hav- ing one language, have preserved that language through all their vicissitudes and stages of culture; while in the southeast, where the Eskfmoan fer ritory joins territory occupied bv tribes having other tongues, we find mixed languages. The same facts ap- pear on the southern coast of Alaska, in languages differentiated from the main stock by admixture with ether languages. With the exception pointed out, the Eskimoan language is the purest language known on this hemisphere. So far as they have been studied, all other languages are com bounded of at least two, and usually of many.-Forum.

OUR HEART AFFAIRS.
They Are Often Productive of nn End-
 less Amount of Mischief.


 less Amount of Mischief
 There is but one attachment that seems proof against our inconstant selves It is founded on that adaman- tine basis, "congeniality." We wonder why our divorce courts are full of har- rowing details; we marvel that the pa- pers teem with sad histories; we look about us at the small bickerings and the quarrels between men and women, and helplessly ask: 'Is there no safeguard against this everlasting turmoil?"
 We're those of us dumped down to- gether by relentless fate able to meet and find tastes, dispositions, pursuits congenial, the worlds friction would cease Men and women marry without thought in common. Why this lack of congeniality is not discovered before marriage is the question. Perhaps be- cause we all need the rubs of life to bring out what is in us. Sentimental episodes, love messages, a straining after pleasing effects upon both sides, confuse, blind, hypnotizc lover and sweetheart. They don company man. ners, and not until they are joined to- gether are these manners laid aside. Then crops out the old Adam.
 One likes one thing. one another Ais lovers this difference of tastes found ready adjustment. As husband and wife results are quite another matter. The wife sighs for sympathy with cer- tain little soul desires that her husband ns lover never knew existed. The husband is boolworm. He finds to his dismay his wife is butterfly; that to pin her down to book he must cross her tastes. She is an idler, he earnest of purpose. Or the case is reversed.
 Not the slightest opportunity was ever given to note their wide divergence of tastes. It is only with harness on that trouble begins.
 l remember so we'll a pair of happy go-lucky lovers who came to serious grief shortly after the knot of matri- mony had been securely tied. The woman sang like a lark I heard her ask her lover one evening if he would like to hear a certain song. He looked at the girl for moment, with his whole soul in his eyes, and then said: No, dearest, the music of your voice is sweetest. Talk to mel Talk to mel"
 Dearest was fattered. I inwardly commented: Music will come between them some day" And it did. It brought the pair into a divorce court.
 Real friendship is one of our rarest blessings. It is saved from speedy death by congeniality. It seems passing strange that it should ever be given a start unless two persons are mutually agreeable upon important points.
 The world is so agog few of us can settle down to the sublimity of friend ship that weathers the hardest of life's storms. Love and friendship demands complete fitting into the souls inches, attributes of brain. and heart as per- fectly blended as the tints of rose With such congeniality our loves and our friendships will outlive fortune's hardest buffetings.-D Dorothy Maddox, in PhiladelDhia Tnollirer
