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

Klondike Gold Fields.
One thing should be impressed upon
every miner, prospector or trader com
ing to Alaska, to the lXlondike, 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 lndeh-
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
on for the chief part of every meal,
! imagine the helplessness of 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
From the Alaska Mining Journal.
A book of receipts for all kinds of
| cookery, which is specially valuable for
use upon ~" ''ail or in the camp, is
publi:'Ae, y the Royal Baking Pow
| der ron,Yany, of New York. The re-
ceirts are thoroughly practical, and the
| methods are carefully explained, so
that the inexperienced may, with it's
aid, readily prepare everything requi-
site 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
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 pro-
cure a copy. Address the Royal Bak-

NOT A GOLDBUG.
Abraham Lincoln Did not Favor enc
Gold Monopoly.

Gold Monopoly.
When the writer of this article came
to Washington in the winter OF 1864
'65 as senator from the new state OF
Nevada. he was received by President
Lincoln in the most cordial manner.
Mr.. Lincoln said:
Il am glad to see you here, rep
resenting the new mining state OF
Nevada. l have watched with sollcl-
tude the development of the mines Oh
gold and silver in the west during all
the time we have been taxing the re-
sources of the country to the last eX-
tremity to prosecute the war; Inc
fact that when the output of gold ap-
peared to be declining the great sill
yer mines of Nevada were discovered
seemed Providential. The people can
hardly realize the great support which
the mines of the west have already
been to the credit of the United States,
and | believe we may reasonably an
ticipate from the development which
is taking place in that region that GU"
mines will not only continue to furnish
a basis of credit, but will greatly re-
lieve the burdens of the people in pay
ing off the national debt"
When we contrast the real views anil
sentiments of Mr. Lincoln with regard
to the use Of both gold and silver as
money and his kindly efforts to as
sist in developing the gold and silver
mines of the west we are shocked to
read the orations delivered on his
birthday. 1t is assumed that he was
a friend of Wall and Lombard streets,
and in favor Of destroying silver
money and reducing the world to the
single gold standard under the false
pretense of maintaining the credit OF
the country. It is painful to contrast
the sentiments constantly expressed by
the leaders of the Republican party
and the gold press towards the min
ing regions Of the west.
When Lincoln was president the
miners Of the west were treated with
kindness and consideration in every
part Of the country. No one then de-
nounced silver miners as robbers, at
lell1ptluS W get SOllelNlHS LOT nOll-
ing; no one then said that they were
Silver harons," attempting to swindle
the government. The fact that the
goldites have found it necessary TO
abuse and Islander the pioneers of the
west can only be accounted for by that
element in human nature which leads
men who have wronged their neigh
bors to speak i'll of them to justify the
wrong. The miners of the 12st need
have no hope that the goldites of Wall
and Lombard streets will forgive them
for the injury done them. We must
remember the Spanish proverb, which
is as true now as it was when first ut
tered. that no man ever forgives an
other for the injuries he has inflicted
upon him. William NJ. Stewart.

The Ears of Insects,

The naturalists have not as vet been
able to answer the burning question
Can bees hear?" but their researches
along that line have resulted in many
queer discoveries. Simply because a
bee has no ears on the side of his
head, it is no sign whatever that he is
wholly without some sort of an audi
tory nerve This last assertion is prov
en- by the fact that grasshoppers, crick-
cts, locusts and flies, all have their
ears situated in queer places-under
the wings, on the middle of the body.
and even on the sides of their legs,
The common housefly does his hearing
by means of some little rows of corpus
cles, which are situated on the knob
bed threads which occupy the places
which are taken up by the hind wings
of other species Of insects. The gar
den-slug, or shell-less snail, has his
organs of hearing situated on each side
of his neck, and the common grasshop-
per has them on each of his broad fiat
thighs. In some of the smaller insects
they are at the bases of the wings. and
in others at the bottom of the feet!-

HER LAST LETTER.


Wife, Who Dies Ere 1t Is Mailed.
lie seized the letter as a furnishing
man snatches food from outstretched
hands. and stepped to tho little
window, through whose iron bars
the soft beams of light were steal
ing. One look was enough to tell
his throbbing heart that it was from
her, and in his Joy the bleached
fingers tremblcd SO violently that he
could scarcely hold the dainty sheet.
He knew that she had not been
we'll for some time, and how thank
full he felt to get these few words of
love and tenderness, for if she we're
to die. he-My God, he breathed to
himself in terror. the thought was
too terrible.
He read on through the plaintive
gentle message of hope, telling him
how she loved him and how she
missed him-and what dreams she
had woven for their future, when his
sentence should expire, ana tears OF
agony rolled down his cheeks-sho
had told him that she was much
stronger and hoped to be able to
mako him q visit before long, and
this ray Of promise caused smile
to circle around his drawn, bloodless
lips.
But what is this!-some one has
added a postscript!
my God" he groans as he stands
on tip toe to catch q better light,
and reads the postscript again. Then
he gives a groan as if a death blow
had been deal thin, and staggering
blindly to his cot, he sank down upon
it and buried his face in his hands.
The postscript, written by another,
told of his wife's sudden death! AS
he sat there stupid and motionless,
memory flashed from its panorama
OF past days before his throbbing
eyes, and, for a moment he forgot
the bitter present in the kisses of
the past. He saw the modest little
home where he had led her, happy
wife in those golden days, and a
thrill Of joy trem bled through his
heart as he recalled those happy
hours; he saw that home when first
it heard the prattle of baby, and so
vivid was the dream that he could
almost feel the childish arms about
his neck, and once he made move
nent as if to clasp this child to his
breast then he beheld this little
woman leaning heavily on his arms.
rs he supported her and bravely
tried to cheer her with words of love,
while at their feet lay q little grassy
mound, beneath whose nodding flow
crs slept their boy!
Then this trouble had come, when
in 4 moment Of anger.he had dealt a
fellow man blow that had taken
one life and consigned another to q
weary term Of Imprisonment. He
remembered how faithfully she had
stood beside him in his hours of
darkness, aud how brave she was
when she kissed him good by at the
door of this very cell.
This thought brought back the
agony of the moment and with sob
OF grief he fell PROSTATE on the cot,
with heart breaking from the con-
tents of her last letter Atlanta

 Trouble

When the yellow flag of quarantine is hoisted over dwelling it means disease and danger. So when the yellow flag flies in the face-when the cheek is ssallow and the clear white of the eye is dyed safron-there is danger. t is liyer trouble. The liver is one of the most im- portant organs of the body. On the proper discharge of it's functions depend human health and happiness. When the liver fails of its duty, poisons at once be- gin to generate, and other organs of the body become involved. Never neglect the liver if you value health. If you are suffering from liver trouble, begin at once the use of AYERS PILLS and you will find prompt relief and permanent cure.

Four Brothers in War.

There are many families in Chicago from which two sous enlisted in the late war for the freedom of the Cubans. but the answer to the call of arms by four brothers is certainly ararity of this remarkable devotion of patiotism in Chicago. This is that of the four Hanson brothers. of 969 North Forty. second avenue. s.s
 At the outset of hostilities two of the brothers were members of the Second regiment, Illinsis volunteer infantry. The call for vofnnteers induced the remaining two to join the same body. Three of the boys went to the front an d one gave up his life to typhoid fever st Camp Cuba Libre.
 Twelve years ago the parents of ths four boys died at the old hom ,stead in Wisconsin. Then the orphans moved to Chicago. They were Elmer, now B. years old, Oscar. 29; Antone,. 27, and Charles, who was 24 when he died. Antoine married, and his brothers made their home with him. Antoine and Elmer jolned Col. Moulton's reei- ment last winter, the former going in to c and the latter to company F. After three month s service Anoine was promoted to a corporalcy, but ow- ing to the fact that he was the sole support of g family, he felt in duty bound obliged to remain at home whe n his regiment left for the south.
