blinking eye of the crusty old saurian

Wilkes boldly offered himself as IA
candidate for the City, and on his rejec-
ton for the county of Middlesex. The
scenes of that election beggar descrip-
ton and are too we'll known to need it.
One incident is too amusing to escape
repetition. The Austrian ambassador,
the Graf Won Seilern. most solemn
and naughty of the representatives of u
solemn court, was dragged from his car
rage by the mob and "45" chalked on
the soles of his boots. His constantly
reiterated demands for PREPARATION,
which it was impossible to satisfy, only
made him the more ridiculous. Wilkes
and Liberty" was the one topic Of the
day in letters and conversation. His
head was even adopted us a sign for
public houses, and he himself told the
story of the old lady who said, There
he swings, everywhere but where he
ought to be. "-Cornhill Magazine.

Taking the Hint.

At home stations the private soldiers
washing Is usually done by the married
soldiers wives, who are expected to sew
on missing buttons and do repairs, for
which small sum is deducted from the
private's pay.
Pat MeGinnis had u good deal of trou-
BILE with his laundress Sunday after
sunday had his shirt come back with
the neck button off or else hanging by a
thread. He had spoken to her ON the
subject, ard she had promised to see to
it, but still the button was not On prop

He got out of patience one Sunday
when the missing button had made him
late for parade and exclaimed:
Bother the womani I'll see if can t
give her a hint this time anyhow. "
He then took the lid of a tin black
ing box, about inches in diameter
drilled two holes in it with fork and
sewed it on to the neck of the shirt that
was next to be washed. When his wash

When the Sea Was Fresh Water.

The ocean was once merely brackish,
and not salt, as 1t Is now, This was
when the earth was In Its first youth
and before there was any land showing
at all or any animal life In the water.
At this time the water was gradually
cooling from its original state Of steam,
and the salts We're slowly undergoing
the change from gases into solids.
Then came the appearance of land. and
later on rivers, which gradually wash
ed down more and more salts, while
at the bottom of the ocean Itself chem
ical action was constantly adding
more brine TO the waters. At present
It Is estimated there are in the world
oceans seven million cubic miles Of
salt. and the most astonishing thing
about 1t is that If all the salt could be
taken out In moment the level of the
water would not drop one single inch.

Bottles Made OF Paner.

A German paper maker has recently
obtained letters patent on bottles made
of paper, for use on board of ships par
ticularly. II has been cause of much
damage to steamer lines that in bad
weather large number of bottles of
wine and other liquors are broken In
the storerooms, In spite of every pre-
caution. The new bottles are made of
a composition which. with the solution
in which they are made water tight, is
still the inventors secret. After being
impregnated with this fluid the paper
bottles are slowly dried in gas stoves.
and this process of drying must be
watched carefully, for otherwise the
bottles would remain porous and al
low the fluid to leak out These bottles
can be handled roughly without the
least apprehension; neither the pitch
ing nor the rolling of great steamer
during rough weathe, nor the break
irg down of a truck upon which they
are loaded loosely would be apt Ia
damage a single paper bottle.-New
York Herald.

Maule.

A WORD OF ADVICE

To Those Coming to Alaska or the
KIondIke 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 de-
pend.
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
imperatiye. For instance, as bread
raised with baking powder must DO re-
lied upon for the chief part of every
meal. imagine the helplessness of "A
miner with can of spoiled baking
powder. Buy only the very best
-four; it ID the cheapest in the end.
Experience has shown the Royal Bak-
ing Powder to be the most reliable,
and the trading companies now uni
formly 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 abso-
lutte 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 delioaoies as the
prospector may be able to pack or de-
sire to pay for.-From the Alaska Min
ing Journal.
A book CT recipes for all kinds Of
cookery, which is specially valuable
for use upon the trail or in the camp,
il published by the Royal Baking Pow
der Company, of New York. The
receipts are thoroughly practical and
the methods are carefully explained,
so that the inexperienced may. with
its aid, readily prepare everything re-
quisite for good, wholesome meal,
or even dainties il he has the necessary
materials. The matter is IN compact,
though durable, form, the whole book
weighing but two ounces. Under a
special arrangement. this book Will
be- sent free to miners or Others who
may desire it, We would recommend
that every one going to the klondike
procure copy. Address the Royal
