From Two standpoints

To the Editor of The Age-Herald.
 The question of extending the borders of the city leads many into discussion. Those who favor annexing all nearby communities have no lack of faith in the growth of the city and these communities; hence they take the position that the growth will be sufficient to lessen all debts, and maintain proper credit abroad. I do not have to dispute their claims. To the suburbs I will turn, for there the average citizen must discuss most minute ly" every disadvantage, and leave you be- fore the benefits of larger city are told. If he is arrested at some error of state- ment to end the discussion he cries mot at this time.'
 In a position content alone to hold his own, I would point him to two factors which are imposing certain conditions in which he must accept the present, and the future Looking at the great car lines to the suburbs, he finds many improvements made since the last charter was issued to Birmingham Seek the ends of these car lines and he finds in hailing distance are the old pleasure grounds reached by the dummies, with many pleasant features ad- ded since the city received new charter.
 There is nothing in the leverage citi- zens" life to bear comparison to the ser vice these lines are to him, yet he would ignore Birmingham, which holds these by charters. Birmingham within its corporate limits will be able to protect these lines and the people, but in operating these car lines 0ike no other business) under the complex relationship caused by the several charteder cities close to each other, there will be an increase of business for the courts Birmingham, Avondale, Woodlawn and other suburbs, under one. charter, could more readily secure an abundant SUD- ply of water, and this would obtain for Birmingham and vicinity much fairer rating from the insurance companies; such a rating as we have no reason to expect, with the property exposed as it has been. At Woodlawn and Avondale the cautious spirit seems to have enjoyed along repose; how many in these towns have used the prime gift of a lifetime-the heritage of fathers care--only to make a home among dangers that are threatening his home both day and night.
 It would be hard to discover a way to have these homes of the suburbs insured again if they were built before there was any water works.

of your valuable paper. The college is situated three miles from the court house on the extension of Eighth avenue, west. This Is from eight to ten minutes by bicycle apout one and a quarter miles from city limits. The Bir- mingham and Bessemer dummy cars, start ing from near the Florence hotel run within few blocks of the college. The building while not completed-is comfortable The board of trustees hope to complete the building by our first commencement, June 1Ss9 Already the board of instruction see the necessity of a large hall capable of &C., commodating at least seventy-five boarding pupils. This we hope our fir ends will en- able us to build by our second opening, September, 1S99
 The college roll has. up to date, 140 ma- triculatis. And Is constantly lengthening
 The college is in a fine state of organiza- tion. The esprit de corps of the student body Is fine. Our young men are rapidly acquiring the student habit.
 The curriculum is high and the work done is thorough No shoddy work is done or toleraoted in the college
 The board of instruction require of all students three and a half hours of study besides regular college hours.
 The college is now teaching six different languages: First, English; second, Latin; third, Greek; fourth, French; fifth, Ger man. sixth, Spanish.
 Beside the board have organized depart ments of oratory. bookkeeping, typewrit- ing and stenography. The board of in- struction has also organized a training school for those desiring to follow the pro- fess on of teaching. All these departments are making good progress in their work. We make mention of these things be- cause many of our friends have made in- quiry respecting them and I seek to give the desired information through our city press.
 The prospects of the college are indeed encouraging and with the cooperation of the friends of education in Birmingham and elsewhere the possibilities of the college for good are practically~--* *h;as-s' ljnaits '-'---'

Not Successful, Because Shs Cannot

The really successful women journ-
alists-successful, that is to say, from
a masculine and not merely feminine
standpoint-can be counted upon the
fingers of one hand, says the Fortnight
ly Review. Nor, as far as one can see,
is this likely ever to be different. The
supposed freedom of a Journalists life,
with its possible literary introductions,
is at least as attractive to young men
as it is to young women, and which
sex will in the long run prove best able
to Withstand the inevitable strain and
unWhOlesome conditions of the iourn-
alists life? If a woman can not do
night work, and regular night work,
the prizes of Fleet street are not for
her. | do not say that she may not
make a living, but she will have to
content herself with a kind of journal

ture- the chatty article, or the wom-
ems papers, with the Forget-Me-Nots,
the Home Notes, the Nursery Chats,
and the hundred and one scrappy peri
odicals which have so successfully hit
off the taste Of the rising generation
that they bid fair to reduce England

Horticulture in Europe is much more

ARE you TO LIVE IN ALASKAN
some Requirements THAI VIII Be Found
Indispensable.

some Requirements That Will BE Found
Indispensable.
The universal article of diet in that
country depended upon and indispens-
able. is bread or biscuit. And to make
the bread and biscuit, either in the
camp or upon the trail, yeast cannot be
used-it must be baking powder; and
the powder manufactured by the pro-
cesses of the Royal Baking Powder
Company, miners and prospectors have
learned, is the only one which will
stand in that peculiar climate of cold
and dampness and raise the bread and
biscuit satisfactorily.
THESE facts are very important for
every one proposing to go to Alaska
and the Yukon country to know, for
should he be persuaded by some out
inter to take one of the cheap brands
OF baking powder, it will cost just as
much to transport it, and then when
ne opens it for use, after all his labor
IN packing it over the long and difficult
route, he will find a solid caked mass
or a lot of spoiled powder, with no
strength and useless. Such a mistake
might lead to the most serious results.
Alaska is no place in which to expert
ment in food, OIL try to economic with
your stomach. For use in such a
climate, and under the trying and
fatiguing conditions of life and labor
In hat country, everything must be
the best and most useful, and above
all If 10 i'm narafivo chat oil Good cum

ties. 1t is absurd to convey yer such
difficult and expensive routes an arti-
Gle that will deteriorate in transit, or
that will be found when required for
use to have lost a great part of it's
value.
There is no better guide to follow in
these matters than tho advice of those
who have gone through similar expert
ence. Mr.. McQuesten, who is called
the father of Alaska" after an expert
ence of years upon the trail, in the
camp, and in the use of every kind OF
supply, says: eve find in Alaska that
the Importance of a proper kind of
baking powder cannot be overesti-
mated. A miner with a can of bad
baking powder is almost helpless in
Alaska. We have tried all sorts, and
have been obliged to settle down to use
nothing but the Royal. 1t is stronger
and carries further at first, but above
all things, it is the only powder that
will endure the severe climatic changes
of the arctic region"
1t is for the same reasons that the
United States government in its reliet
expeditions, and Peary, the famous
arctic traveller, have carried the Royal
Baking Powder exclusively.
The Royal Baking Powder will not
cake nor lose it's strength either on
board ship or in damp climates, and is
the most highly concentrated and eff
cient of leavening agents. Hence it is
indispensable to every Alaskan outfit
1t can be had of any of the trading
companies in Alaska, but should the
miner procure his supplies before leav-
ing, he should resist every attempt OF
the outfitter to palm off upon him any

MILLIONS MULBERRY TREE.

In the gardens of Christs college.
Cambridge, stands a venerable mir
berry tree which, tradition ays ras
planted by Milton during the tune
when he was a student at the unirsrs-
ity, says Lloyd's Weekly Newspaper.
This would be between the years 1924
n 1852, for the following copy srom
the Latin of his entry of admissfeL ac-
curately fixes the former date, Ard his
admission to the degree of M. A., TO
which he proceeded in the lat1ar wear,

London, son of John Milton, wal in
1tiated in the elements of letters uader
Mr.. Gill, master of st. Paul's school;
was admitted a lesser pehsioner Feb.
IL, 1924, under Mr.. Chappell, and paid
entrance fee 10s." He was then 16
years and 2 months old. The tree so
intimately associated with his nsx.e is
now much decayed, but in order TO
preserve it as much as possible from
the ravages of time many of the
branches have been covered with sheet
lead, and are further supported by
stout wooden props, while the trunk
has been buried in a mound Of earth.
The lu%xuriance of the foliage and the
crop of fruit which it annually Gears
are proof of it's vitality, but to insure
against accidents and perpetuate the
tree an off-shoot has been planted close
by. In the event Of a bough breaking
and falling it is divided with eve n JUS
tice among the fellows of the college,
and many pieces are thus preserved as
mementos of the poet. 1t was during
his residence at Cambridge that ne
composed his ode, "On the Morning of
Christ's Nativity" "Lycida6s" too, is
intimately connected with Millions
life at the university, since it was writ

college friend and contemporary, with
whom he doubtless shared the same
rooms. In those days students did not,
as now, occupy separate apartments, as
witness the original statutes of the col
lege: In which chambers our wish
is that the fellows sleep two and

much closer intimacy was formed
among them than is o possible. DR.
Johnson relates that Milton was fog
ged at Cambridge, but the fact is doubt
full, though there is reason to suppose
that he had differences with the au-
thorities in the earlier part of his col
lege career, since he was transferred
from the original tutor. This tree is
still pointed out to visitors, and was
until recent years, especially marked
by a bough of mistletoe growing
upon it.

How Many Commandment?

According to a writer in Household
Words, a father in Scotland who
wishes to present his infant for bap-
tism is expected to pass a slight ex-
animation in the Shorter Catechism.
One day a collier went to his minister
to bespeak him for the christening of
his child. How many commandments
haze ye?" asked the minister. "Twen-
ty," rejoined the collier, who was
forthwith sent back to pursue his
studies in elementary theology. On
his way he met a brother miner, who
was going to the minister on a similar
errand. How many commandments
hae we, Jock?" asked the first. "Ten.'

True History of a Little squabble Among
Members in 1894.

Members in 1894.
Previous to the coinage of silver
dollars at the Philadelphia mint in
1894 the following amusing incidents
occurred in congress while the en-
blems and devices proposed for their
ornamentation were being discussed:
A member of the house from the south
bitterly opposed the choice of the eagle
on the ground of it's being the king
of BIRDS" and hence neither proper
nor suitable to represent a nation
whose institutions and interests were
wholly inimical to monarchical forms
of government. Judge Thatcher, in
reply, playfully suggested that per-
haps a goose might suit the gentle
man, as it was rather a humble and
republican bird, and would also be
serviceable in other respects, as the
goslings would answer to place upon
the dimes. This reply created consid-
cradle merriment, and the irate south
erner, considering the humorous re-
joinder an insult, sent a challenge to
the judge, who promptly declined it.
The bearer, rather astonished, asked:
Twill you be branded as 3 coward ?"
Certainly, if he pleases," replied
Thatcher. 81 always was one, and he
knew it or he would never have risked
a challenge" The affair occasioned
much mirth, but finally cordial rela-
tions were restored, the irritable
southerner concluding there was moth
ing to be gained in fighting one who
fired nothing but jokes.-History of

PEDDLERS IN MEXICO.
Why an Old Woman Wouldn't Sell All

Why an Old Woman Wouldn't Sell All
Her Honey at One Time.
while travelling in Mexico a few
years ago I had a funny experience
with a Mexican vender which goes to
show what little business ability the
lower classes have" said E. F. Guig-
O of st. Louis. II was en- route to
look at some mines away up in the
mountains. At the station where we
left the train to take the stage l saw
an old woman selling some honey. She
did not have more than ten pounds vi
it altogether and as it looked so good
l wanted to buy it all to take along with
us. 1 asked our interpreter to buy it.
Much to my surprise the old woman
would sell him but two boxes, claim
ing that If she sold it all to him she
would have nothing to sell to other
people, neither would she have any
thing else to do during the remainder
of the day."
