say that probably never in the his

so respectable crowd gone into

stance of a man who came out from
the Klondyke last year and is not
returning in all haste this year,
while nearly every old KlondYker
now in camp speaks as if it were
foregone conclusion that he will
make his fortune. Several men |
have recently arrived in camp |
direct from Dawson City, and they |
speak in terms that sound almost
extravagant of the probable output
OF gold this year, and the splendid |
promise or the newer discoveries. |
The other day one such enthusiast |
"a certain Peter Galvln-came |
into camp with a pocket full of
nuggets, which he proceeded to |
give away as keepsakes to friends,
and even to casual acquaintances,
as if they were things of very little
value. myself saw him give to
the popular Major Steele hand
some nugget worth fully S45, and
in doing so he spoke as il he were
merely giving him match to light
his pipe. He is, OF course, one of
the lucky ones, and no doubt
thousands OF men might have
made nothing where he has made
a fortune; but, still, such incidents
show that certainly very rich
ground is there. This MIR. Calvin
stated that the nuggets he was be-
slowing so carelessly were picked
out of a single shovellul oil earth
that yielded over $1,000 in gold.
He cautioned his hearers against
that there was much
soil as rich as this; but the fact
that even few such shovelsful can
be picked UP is regarded as a very
hopetnl indication.

Of teeth goes on among savage
nations, and even among certain
civilized people, such as the Jap
auese. With them a girl is never
married without first staining her
teeth black with repulsive kind
of varnish, and the custom is
especially adhered to among mem
bers Of the richer classes.
On the west coast OF Africa
large proportion OF the teeth are
deliberately broken when children
reach a certain age. Both in the
New World and in the Old the Gus
tom exists of extracting the two
front teeth oil domestic servants.
In Peru the custom has existed
from time immemorial, and
used to be a sign OF slavery in the
DAYS oil Incas. This is also the
custom on the Congo and among
the Hottentots. Teeth are stained
various colors among the Malays.
A bright red and bright blue
are not uncommon, and bright
green is produced with the aid of
arsenic and lemon juice. Living

REDEMPTION OF EGYPT. The
most gigantic irrigation enterprise
in the world is about to be under
taken IN Egypt. The question is
to build two dams for storing up
the water fthe Nile for use during
the dry season. One will be at
Assouan, constructed up the gran
ite reels of the ca aracts at that
place, and will be built entirely OF
granite ashlar. 1t will be pierced
with openings sufficient to permit
the passage Of the Nile during its
flood stages. and have sluice gates,
which can be closed when it is de.
sired to fill the reservoir. Every
year between April and August
the Nile runs low, and there is not
water enough to irrigate the crops
OF sugar, cotton and rice. But by
using the accumulations from the
great reservoir, irrigation and cul-
tivation can 60 on the year round.
The dam will be seventY-slx feet
high, 5000 feet long. and will store
nearly 20, ,ooo, ,ooo, 900 cubic metres
of water. The Assint dam will be
a smaller structure, intended for
raising the river level during the
summer.
The supposition is that this
work, which is to cost S34, 900,
will result in the bringing under
cultivation ten thousand square
miles OF land, now Valueless, be-
sides doubling the value Of the
land now cultivated in the Nile
valley. Anciently Egypt had vast
reservoirs and canals Tor irrigation
purposes, and her wealth, culture
and power were to a large extent
due to this fact, as with the neglect
of the laborlously constructed arti-
fetal lakes, the country no longer
supplied with water was speedily
changed into a desert. Egypt
again brought under the benign
influence OF the Nile is sure to have
a bright future, such are the natu-
raj resources OF that wonderful
country.-Sah Lake Ne7OS.

BLADDER TROUBLES.
The bladder was created for one

The bladder was created for one pur-
pose, viz: a recepticle for the urine; as
such it is not liable to any form of dis
ease except by one of two ways. The
first way is from imperfect action of
the kidneys. The second way is from
careless local treatmento of other disease

son, l can't call you lord" Said
Tennyson: Il can't help it. / only

THE LOST Travellers.


cnelnight they sailed in unknown seas,
A low moon glowering on their track
Along u line of blue black hills.
Then in gray dawn's damps and chills
They reached the land Of the plumed trees,
And never more came back.
They found an untried rivers mouth =
And stole into it silently.
Huge hills rose wide on either hand.
Straight back through a strange wooded
land,
The dim stream sought the unknown south
As far as eye could see.
South through a country in q swoon
They sailed for many weary days.
Dim shapes rose sudden in the nights,
And dull flames fickered on the heights.
Unnatural noises at high noon
Came booming through the haze.
Strange days came then At times they Law

Upon a smooth and shining floor.
Then while they watched this mood wa,

They saw their craft push on its way,
Straight up against the wind
And days and days, in mute despair,
They watched the great volcanoes burn, y

But vet they could not change their COURSE
Some unseen power in the thick air
Forbade them to return. q.
And no man since, on friendly seas,
Has seen in trades frequented track
Their sturdy craft veer to and fro,
For in gray dawn, years ago,
They reached the land of the plumed trees,
And nevermore came back

CHEAP RATES
To Porto Rico and Other Points in the
 West Indies.

Announcement was made a few days ago in these columns that the West In- dian Excursion company, of Atlanta, Ga, would conduct an excursion about Novem- Der 10 to Porto Rico and other points in the West Indies. The parties who have charge of this excursion are among the best and most careful business men of At lanta. The fact that they have chartered a splendid sea-going vessel with the ca pacty to carry about $50 first-class pa- sengers, and have arranged every conven- fence and comfort for them, shows that they have been moving in the right direc- ton.
 It is said that the round trip, including all the expenses of whatever character, to Porto Rico will be very low. Many appli- cation have already been filed at the At lanta office, and, of course, the first 35( people will be the ones who will get the tickets, as only that number can be &C., commodated.

A DOG CEMETERY

New York Letter in Pittsburg Dispatch
 A canine cemetery has been added to the silent cities in and around the greater me- tropolis. As it is not a potter's field, it costs something to get ones deceased pet laid decently at rest there The prices are $5 for a single interment for cats and small dogs, $S for large dogs, $1O for a small grave and S15 for large grave. When the grave is purchased outright the owner can bury several pets in the same place. Be fore the dog cemetery was established it often cost $15, and almost endless trouble, to have an animal taken to the country and buried. A tombstone artist is now fill ing orders for several monuments, to be erectetd by bereaved mistresses.

New York Cottoa Market.

New York, October 19.-Trading in cotton futures today was at no time particularly active, and the lower figures scored were due to an absence of buyers rather than to
 a predominance of sellers. The opening
 was quiet with prices 213 points lower Af-
 ter further easing off to 2d3 points. the pit
 was practically turned over to the scalping
 element, and for the rest of the session fluctuations were exceptionally narrow. Ta-
 ken altogether. news favored shorts. but
 that class of traders failed to accumulate
 additional extensive obligations few
 seattetred selling orders were received
 shortly after the opening from abroad and
 light pressure was exerted by southern re-
 ports, but aside from this trading was al
 most entirely of local professional order,
 and part for the clearing of old ventures. Rumors from time to time were in circu-
 lation to the effect that frost had killed
 the top crop in some sections but the trade
 more or less generally secuted these
 reports The bear clique derived their
 chief support from the continued heavy
 port and interior receipts and rising tenn perature pretty much over the entire belt. Telegrams from many of the more import ant spot markets indicated that holders
 were willing in most instances to sell to an unlim ted degree on the basis of prevail ing prices. Exporters were taking moder- ate amounts, but domestic spinners .pur- chased in a hand to mouth fashion and still entertained hopes of cents for the cotton at New York
