J. A. Lizotte,. of Lewiston, now in
Alaska. writes to his brother, Ma,
Lizotte, of Lewiston, that he is wait
ing for the Lewiston party, and will
start up country toward Klondike the
last of February. He is now at
Skaguay, Alaska, again, and is having
a suit of clothes made for his trip
North. The cloth is nearly half an
inch thick, all wool and yard wide.
He sends Max piece Of it. He says:
II am glad that I did not go up to
Dawson when I had the chance last
fall. could have gone for nothing,
but thought it best to wait here. Now
there are hundreds of people up there
who are ont of provisions and must
starve this winter. The people are
getting desperate up there, and there
will be trouble. The mounted Cana.
dian police are doing all they can to
make chance to get provisions in. A
party OF twenty-one men recently
came down with two hundred thousand
dollars among them in nuggets. One
man brought down fifty pounds OF
gold on his back. Every day now
parties go by here pushing on to
death and suffering. They seem
crazed and will listen to no word Of
advice. The last steamer that went
up the river with twelve tons of pro-
visions was stopped half way up by q
band Of thirty men who robbed it Of
oil the provisions and escaped. When
the steamer got in and there were no
provisions. terror seized everyone. /"

Alaska next year, and he says that he

Robert McWilliams, of near Eardis.
Is mourning the loss Of about 1000
German carp which he was raising
in q small pond he had constructed on
his place. Mr.. McWilliams had
watched over his pets with jealous
care, and they were rapidly approach
ing that stage when they would be
suitable for the table. The pond was
fed by sluice from little run which
gurgled along to one side II. When
the late drought was on the water in
the run got 50 low it would not enter
the pond through the sluice. The
bottom Of the pond was higher than
that Of the run. It was about this
time that muskrat took up his abode
in the run. Now, muskrats like Ger.
man carp as well as any man. This
muskrat went fishing. One night he
drove tunnel from the run up into
the bottom OF the pond. The rush Of
water that must have come down the
tunnel probably astonished his ratship.
When Mr.. McWilliams went ont to see
his fish the next morning the pond
was almost dry, German carp sticking
oil around in the mud. In little
pool, all that was left Of the pond,
were several hundred carp. some Of
them still gasping for breath. Some
of them were dipped out and placed in
the watering trough. There was no
way Of saving the others, and they
had to die in the mud. If that musk
rat should come back to the McWill-
Jams neighborhood he will be assured
Of rough treatment. -Kensington

II Vaccination the Best Preventive?
1t may be that vaccination has les.
sened the mortality from smallpox.
But, like many other sanitarians, we
believe that II notification, isolation.
and disinfection could have been, and
had been, practiced in Jenner's time
as they can be and are now, among a
more enlightened public, the mortal
ity would since then have been still
less, and the repulsive practice of
inserting a disease direct from the
cow into the human body need never
have been adopted As evidence OF
this, from among much other evil
dence, we may mention that we not
long ago reported several outbreaks OF
smallpox, in one year, of imported
cases, in zone of the worst vaccinated
towns in England which were
promptly suppressed by strict isola-
ton, ETC., and without spread in a sim
gle instance. Can. Health Journal.

"Open and read, and deal with the

courage fainting under his unjust dis

delivered up my lord to destruction
pierced my heart, and wrung moan of
anguish from my lips My lords fierce
hand paused ere he had broken the
seal-he regarded me with sardonic
smile.
"You repent of your candor?" ques-

"Cnly for your dear sake!" moaned.

And it was my lord who sprang from

who with folded arms and taunting
