These vessels will have capa-
city for carrying over 100000 tons
OF freight per month and the indi-
cations are that they will all be
kept busy, as the bulk of all the
inquiries now made from the east
are regarding transportation faci-
lities to the north Parties are be-
ing organized everywhere, and one
OF the peculiar features OF these
organizations Is the desire to oper-
ate fat bottom boaton the Yukon

dredge that is designed to suck up
gold from tie bottem of the stream.
Most of these dredges of fat bot

rate per tom ON this sort of freight
will range from $40 to $25 per ton
to St. Michaels. The passengers
rates from Tacoma to st. Michaels
will be $65 and from Tacoma to
Dawson or way points, via. st. Mi

Thunder and Lightning.

Thunder and lightning, though nat
ural operations, are a cause of great
alarm to many. 1t Is seldom any per-
son is injured who keeps away from
considerable metallic substances and
avoids immediate contact with the
walls of the house. The middle of the
room is in general perfectly safe, and
the lower rooms are safer than the
upper. A bed removed a slight dis
tance from the walls of the room is in
perfect security, even If the house
were struck. When lead is used on the
roofs of buildings particular care
should be taken that it communicates
with the spouts, and by these means
with the ground. 10 determine the
distance of the lightning, count the Sec
onds between the flash and the thun-
der, and reckon less than a quarter of
n mile for every second.-New York

Prince of Wales, Dinner Table,

Good taste reigns over all the ar
engagements. Thus the tablecloths are
severely plain, though of the finest
quality, and simply worked with the
royal arms-the rose, the thistle. and
the shamrock-while the table napkins
are invariably folded into a small
square to hold the bread, and never Il
the fancy shapes in vogue elsewhere.
To each guest wo forks, and no more
are provided, md these are placed
prongs downwi rd. In addition. there
are one large tablespoon and one large
knife, for In no circumstances are two
knives together given to any guest A
great many reasons have been assigned
for this rule, but apparently no one has
summoned up the courage to ask their
royal host and hostess. 1t has been as
serted that his Royal Highness has the
old-fashioned dislike to seeing knives
inadvertently crossed. Small water
bottles are used, but the Princess holds
to the Hanoverian habit of never hav-
ing finger bowls. At Marlborough
House dinner begins at S:45 and is
never allowed to last much more than
an hour. Occasionally during dinner
soft music is played. The menu is al
avs served la Russe-that is to say,
nothing is carved in the dining-room.-

A Travellers Onininn.

1t is seldom one meets a man "a
America who is quite satisfied with his
own position. The colored man who
waited on me in q Boston hotel wanted
to be cook, and SO get higher wages.
The headwaiter In the dining room
seemed a better educated man than is
usually found in that position, and he
was anxious to be a teacher. As
travelled through the country, found
the farmers sons, as rule, eager to go
into business In the towns. A young
broker whom | met wished he could
have given his life to the study of sci
ence, while a physician, and scientific
man of high standing, confided to me
that circumstances had urged him into
his present work, and that he was con-
fident he could have served the world
and himself better as an active politi-
clan. Americans appear to be uncon-
scious of this unrest, which grows ont
of the desire to become wealthy or
eminent. Each man finds his own daily
work commonplace, and fancies that
he could show higher qualities in his
neighbours place.
There is truth in this criticism; but
is the characteristic pointed out pecu-
liar to America and the Americans?

sugar refiner.

In the early winter of 1895 NJ Rosenthal

editorial articles for LIE Figaro, and he
was the Paris correspondent of the New

CHARACTER IN THE HAIR.
Shows that Coarse DARK
Hair Betokens Successful Persons.

Investigation Shows that Coarse Dark
Hair Betokens Successful Persons.
The hair furnishes considerable sub
ject for study, and much more than
careless observers would suppose, says
writer in the Washington Star. 1t Is
an investigation that can easily be
made. The hair unquestionably indi-
Gates temperament and feeling, fine or
coarse, and character and constitution.
Black hair accompanies what is known
as the bilious temperament, which
gives power, endurance and strength.
On the other hand, or head, possibly,
light hair indicates the exact opposite,
delicacy, fineness, and the lighter tone
of character. Notice a person with
auburn hair, and you will discover,
easily, that his susceptibilities are
quick. BY the same reasoning red hair
marks sanguine temperament, those
who are possessed of intense feelings,
or ardent, fiery or passionate natures.
AS the hair is curly or inclined that
way, the emotional and impulsive is in
It's story to all who desire to know it.
for whoever knew one with straight
hair who was not of a mild and tame
nature? Those who have fine, light
hair, 1t will be noticed, while they can
do almost any amount of indoor work,
are not to be depended on for heavy
work. Here again they are the oppo-
site OF the black-haired people, who
can endure the heaviest and hardest
kind Of Ia Dor. Sandow, the strong man,
has light hair, but l don't think he
would be as reliable for heavy, con-
tinued work as a black haired man of
half his strength.
Here is another thing to study. The
coarser the hair the more the owner Of
it is marked with individuality in
thought, feeling, manner and action.
do not think that any man or woman
whose hair is fine can, by any posi-
bility, ever make a great mark In pub
lie life. Fine hair may do well for the
student, scientist or artist in general
way, but when you notice those who
have made the greatest marks in these
lines, you will discover that their hair
is coarse. The same rule holds good
with man and woman. The person
who has coarse, brittle hair--it matters
not what color, though the darker 1t

About National Songs.

1t Is well that 1.-The Star Spangled
Banner has been officially recognized
as the national air. 1t Is distinctively
American and original. OF the other
hymns and songs formerly put forward
for this distinction, America" as Is
generally known, was written to the
British air, God Save the Queen"
"The Red, White, and Blue" it appears,
is also an adaptation. The London
Chronicle, noting the statement that at
Archbishop Corrigans Jubilee banquet
Archbishop Ryan suddenly rose and
sang supported by 400 ecclesiastics
'The Red, White, and Blue" song. says:
1.-The only song Of that denomination
known on this side Of the Atlantic be-
gins:
Britannia, the gem of the ocean,
The home of the brave and the free,
The shrine of each patriots devotion,
What land can compare unto thee?
1t was written and composed by D. T.
Shaw about the time of the Crimean
war, when the union flag of England
was floating beside the red, white, and
blue of France.-Exchange.

A Tragic Quarrel

Two farmers named Nelson Jackson and
Bernard Klug, living near the range line
west of Cedar Grove, had some words
about a herd OF cattle which had trespass-
cd upon a grain field of the former and in
ficted considerable damage. Klug held
the cattle for the damages and this so
enraged Jackson that, after giving vent to
his i'll feeling, he dropped dead. 1t is be-
lieved that jackson had heart disease.
