A WORD OF ADVICE.
To Those Coming to Alaska or the
Klondikc Gold Fields.

To Those Coming to Alaska or the
Klondikc 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-
ity 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. Up
on the manner in which the miner has
observed or neglected this precaution
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 indefi-
nitely under all the condition which
they will have to encounter is i'm
perative. For instance, as bread raised
with baking powder must be relied up
IN for the chief part OF every meal,
imagine the helplessness Of a miner
with a can of spoiled baking powder.
Buy only the very best -four; it Is the
cheapest in the end. Experience has
shown the Royal Baking Powder to
be the most reliable and the trading
companies now uniformly supply 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 a 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

MocKlNe-BIRD COURT.
Butcher Bird Was Found Guilty ana
Executed Promptly.

While out in an orange grove the 9TH
er day John Jones, of Sanford, Tia,
was attracted by the twittering of a
large number of hooking birds and
others around thicket in the lower
part of the grove. Proceeding cautious
", he was enabled to get close to the
assembly of birds without exciting at
tention or causing them any alarm.
Peering through a thicket, he beheld
dozen or more mocking birds that
were arranged in a half circle, all twit-
tering and talking as if they were hold
ing council of war or political meet
ing. In the center lay big butcher
bird. its brown plumage despatched
with blood, while one wing hung help
less down by its side. On each side was
hooking bird holding the wing of
the prisoner, for so it seemed to be, in
its bill. The butcher bird, by the way.
is deadly enemy of the mocking bird
and many others. 1t is a vicious, saw
age, bloodthirsty little wretch, always
fighting, and it has themost cruel ways
of securing its food.
1t would seem that the hooking birds
had combined and caught one of their
enemies and proposed to deal summary
vengeance. For several minutes the
hooking birds twtterea, some angrily,
some noisi!y and others more quietly.
as if engaged in a very grave discussion
as to what should BE done with the
butcher bird before them. The latter
lay in the grasp of its enemies, its
bright, undaunted eyes rowing from
side to side, as if seeking to escape.
Just as the final conclusion seemed to
be reached it made plunge to get
away, but the hooking birds were Wig
liant, and they held on to it.
At the signal the hooking birds all
pitched forward, fiercely attacking the
heartless butcher bird. The latter
fought tiercely, but he was oyerpow-
cred, and in few moments he was
literally picked to pieces. Its feathers
were scattered on al sides. and soon
nothing .as left but the bloody car
cass. Three Of the hooking birds
pushed it off the stump and the others
brought few twigs. which they cast
over it. showing that they would deign
to bury the body of their enemy.-Chi

Your minds have. by much practice,

you think you could possibly olsen
tangle these loops and coils without

grow cross, it will be, perhaps, wise to
aid you. To make the puzzle. provide
two pieces of leather about two inches
square and one long, narrow strip of
flexible leather, which any shoemaker
can furnish. Now cut a slash across
two sides of each square near the edges,
which for Identification we will call the
top and bottom, and likewise a long
slash in each end of the strap. The
problem is to loop the straps on the
squares. as shown at figure No. /, and
then take ii off again. You will find it
easy with the strap entirely free to
make the loop shown at the top of fig
