"Thc Klondike Kraze {"

The rush for Klondike has already
begun and one authority estimates that
100000 people will go to the gold fields
this season. There is now no doubt but
that the fabulous wealth Of the country
has not been underestimated and the
widest speculatiOns as to its resources
are surpassed by the facts. The Buffa-
10, Rochester & Pittsburg Railway has
already ticketed one large party and
others are organizing at various points
on its line. The b., r. & p. R'y will

Butter Bacteria.

A clever microscopic has discovered
that the delicious taste and Odor of
spring grass butter is due to the presence
OF a peculiar species Of micrObe. He
has succeeded In isolating these micro
scopic creatures, and has obtained cul-
lures which rapidly reproduce them
selves when placed in favorable sur
roundings. This scientific experiment.
or found that when few of the butter
bacteria were placed In tub OF very
ordinary or very poor butter having
perhaps strong, unpleasant Odor and
taste, they proceeded at once to multi
ply, and that In short time they
caused an entire change to take place
in the butter whereby the disagreeable
qualities vanished while the delicious
grass flavor and taste developed. Now
we learn that a company has purchased
the secret OF the reproduction OF the
butter bacteria, and is issuing circulars
to dairymen all over the country offer
ing butter flavor cultures for sale, put
up in small phials. This remarkable
statement might well be doubted; but
we have ascertained that 1t is an actual
fact, and we believe that purchasers
have found that the claims are well
founded. The butter microbe belongs to
the benefcient class of small creatures
whose province in Nature seems to be
to arrest decay and putrefaction. Its
discovery is entirely novel, and its
practical application to the improve
ment OF butter is praiseworthy de-
velopment OF science. Whether the
microbes will find suitable habitat in
oleomargarine we do not know: it
would seem not unlikely, however, that
they would thrive in this artificial pro-
duct, and thus render IL more difficult
to detect the limitations from real but

Something to Know.

1t may be worth something to know
that the very best medicine for restor-
ing the tired out nervous system to a
healthy vigor is Electric Bitters. This
medicine is purely vegetable, acts by
giving tone to the nerve centers in the
stomach, gently stimulates the Liver
and Kidneys, and aids these organs in
throwing off impurities in the blood.
Electric Bitters improves the appetite,
aids digestion, and is pronounced by
those who have tried it as the very best
blood purifier and nerve tonic. Try IT,.

DO EVERYTHING WELL.

Every boy wants to excel In some
thing. But boys and men alike do not
always remember that no one thing
must have the habit OF doing we'll.
You cannot slight everything else and
succeed In one chosen game, or one par
ticular study. Aim at perfection. The
advice OF the teacher which is here
given is worthy OF careful attention.
A young student whom we know was
very ambitious to gain certain rank
In his class which would enti,le him to
a scholarship: II he gained the scholar
ship he could go on with his course.
A well known professor was interested
in the lads success. He instructed him
in part OF his studies and found him a
very bright student; so he thought it
possible for him to gain his purpose,
though 1t meant perfect marks for him,
in everything, for whole year.
Nobody gets perfect marks In every
thing" the boy objected.
THAT is nothing to the point" said
the teacher. ''You are perfect in my
recitations; do as we'll in the others.
But | notice that you write poorly.
Now begin there. Whenever you form
a word, either with tongue or pen, do it
so plainly that there will be no mistake.
This will help you to think clearly and
to speak accurately. Let your whole
mind be given to the least thing you do
while you are about it. Form the habit
OF excellence"
The student went resolutely to work
and before the year was far on its way,
was the leader in his class; he gained
his scholarship, aud more than that, he
acquired'character that has since won
him shining success Young Peoples

GOOD ADVICE.

Rev. T. Dewitt Talmage, in com
menting from the pulpit on the will of
M. Pullman and his reference to his
boys, said:
'Self-reliance makes men. Fine
clothes will not make II man: advice
will not make man; big bank account
will not make a man. Give your boy
the same chance that you have had.
Throw him overheard. When n boy
comes to q years of age he ought to be
doing something else besides taking
milk out Of Il bottle.
ut is not what you surround your
son with that foretels what he will be.
No young man ever rode to success in
AN upholstered carriage. He walks. 1t
matters very little what is outside of
him. but what you put inside Of him.
In nine cases out Of ten when you give
your boy nothing but money you only
| pay his way to destruction. Every
young man has to start at the foot and
reach for the first rung."
| Ahhophp' Eo'u Ii'tc vi uuNiCt lOi
young men is the following:
Stand up to the rack, my boy, and
you will find hay in it. Put on your
working harness every morning and
make want n stranger. Don't wait for
job that suits your taste, but take the
first one you can strike. II you can't
get $50 month. take $25, take $40, take
any amount till you can do better-even
II you only get your board. These are
hard times, but you can find something
to do-enOugh TO keep you out Of mis-
chief. Remember that while the devil
tempts all men. lazy man tempts the
devil. Live within your means, not by
your meanness. Don't take up bad
habits: they will pull you down. Don't
try to get something for nothing; it
tends to the workhouse. There are a
lot of young follows like yourself in the
world: but II good job u good living, a
good home. awaits every fellow who
has grit enough to battle for IL.

A CRITICAL TINE
DURING THE BATTLE OF SANTIAGO
Sick or Well a Rush Night and Day

Front Saved the Day.

ing from Santiago, de Cuba, on July
23d, says: eve all had diarrhoea in
more or less violent form, and when we
landed we had no time to see doctor,
for it was case of rush and rush night
and day to keep the troops supplied with
ammunition and rations, but thanks to
Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera and Di-
arrhoea Remedy, we we're able to keep
at work and keep or health; in fact, I
sincerely belive that at one critical time
this medicine was the indirect savior of
our army, for if the packers had been
unable to work there would have been
no way of getting supplies to the front,
There were no roads that a wagon train
could use. My comrade and myself had
the good fortune to lay in supply of
this medicine for our pack train before
we left Tampa, and 1 know in four
cases it absolutely saved life"
