A PRETTY INCIDENT.
The Kindness of Spanish Lady to a
Lone Soldier Boy.

The Kindness of n Spanish Lady to q
Lone Soldier Boy.
A recent traveller in Spain describes
touching scene witnessed at the depar-
ture of a reg ment 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-looking and well-dressed
lady, who noticed 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 OWNED that he was car
rying 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
oSAOS1"
STA, and sailed two months ago. You
may meet him, Pepe G.; take this kiss
to him." She leaned and kissed his
cheek"
An English boy would have shown
avkwarness, but these graceful
southerners are never at a loss for
pretty gesture and a prettier word.
The boy blushed with pleasure, and still
holding the lady's hand, said with quite
natural gallantry, without smirk or
silly smile: ''Anci may not take one
for myself as we'll, senora?" The lady
REDEEMED, laughed a little nervously,
and bent and kissed him again to the
frantic applause of soldiers and civil
ians, while the boy walked on, braced

A WORD OF ADVICE
To Those Coming to Alaska or the
k1Ondike 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-
meal, imagine the helplessness Of
miner with a can Of spoiled baking
powder. Buy only the very best flour;
it is the cheapest in the end. Expert
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.-Azaske

THE MIGHTY MISSISSIPPI.
Greatest of All the River Systems
Upon the Earth.

How many Americans appreciate the
grandeur of their country's geography {?
How many know that there is no river
system on earth which even distantly
compares with that of the Mississippi
and it's tributaries?
The census tells us that these rivers,
all flowing through one channel into
the Gulf of Mexico, aggregate more
than 100000 miles in length. The
Amazon, the Nile, the Gauges, and all
the rest of the great river systems on
earth put together scarcely approach
this magnificent showing.
Think of it! A steamboat leavin @
Pittsburgh can visit % states without
passing through any artificial channel.
She can go up the Allegheny and
Monongahela, the Big Sandy, the Ken
lucky, the Wabash, the Tennessee, and
the Cumberland clear into Alabama
before reaching the mouth of the Ohio
Below Cairo she can traverse not only
the Mississippi, but the St. Francois, the
Arkansas, the White, the Red, the va
ZOO, the Tallahatchee, the Yalobusha,
the Ouachita, the great bayous, and all
the tributaries of these streams.
Above Cairo lie the Upper Mississippi
the Illinois, the Missouri, the Yellow
stone, the Platte, the Big Horn, and
score of tributaries to all these. The
supposititious steamboat can land at
1850 towns. and cities on hes way.
These rivers drain an area of 1884,
3o3 square miles, occupied by a popula-
ton of 24,29S,332 in 1890.
The commerce of this great river sys-
tenn was carried on>in 1880 by 1853 YES
sells, with an aggregate tonnage Of
3,393.379, and a value of SIS, 535,OO5.
And so rich is that commerce that it's
annual gross earnings exceed the total
value of the craft engaged in it by
nearly million dollars. It carries
nearly eleven million passengers and
nearly thirty-three million tons of
freight per year.
And this is only one of the great river
systems of our country George Cary

y. Gingotta and his son-in-law, Mike
Canela, were disputing in front of An
tonic Columbus saloon and were:about
to come to blows when the Graviano
brothers came up and attempted to
stop the argument. Gingotta and Can
ella then turned upon the Gravianos and,
both sides drawing revolvers, the bat
lie was soon in progress. More than
80 shots were fired. The man who was
killed began shooting as he approached
Gingotta, who foored him with blow
from his pistol and fired the fatal shot
into his body. Canela fired more than
a dozen bullets at S. Graviano, half of
which took effect. Gingotta and Canela
fled and are still at large.

l have not seer any loving cup passed
that is true to its name. The loving cup
originated as a matter Of %precaution in
olden times. when apparent friends had
an unpleasant method of killing a friend
who was a rival while he was drinking.
So an immense heavy cup WAS made with
a heavy cover. The method of using it
can still be witnessed at banquets at the
Mansion House in London.
The person receiving it stands and
turns to his neighbor, who also rises
and takes the cover with both hands.
The first person then raises the heavy
cup to his lips with both hands, and,
having slipped of the contents, holds il
while the friend at his side replaces the
cover and takes the cup, repeating the
same process in turn with his next
neighbor. Thus, both hands being occu-
pied, there is no possibility of one friend
stabbing another.
In our time the custom has degener-
ated, and the cover, as a rule, disap'
peared. Nevertheless il both hands were
occupied that would not prevent tongues
