PEARY THE EXPLORER ON BAKING
POWDERS.

Those going to the Klondike must
remember that reliable baking pow.
der is an absolute necessity. If, after
a long and expensive trip and the great
cost of transportation, the baking pow
der proves inferior or has lost its
strength, the miner will be practically
helpless. 1t is no time or place to ex-
pertinent. What is required is bak-
ing powder that has actually stood the
test of the arctic climate.
The we'll known explorer, Lieut..
Peary, U. S. N, says of Cleveland s
baking powder, which he used on his
Arctic Expeditions:
"Cleyeland's stood the tests of use
in those high latitudes and severe tenn
peratures perfectly and gave entire sat-
isfaction. Mrs. Peary considers that
there is no better baking powder made
than Cleveland's. 1 shall take it again
on my next expedition.

Americans the Best,

1t Is complained that the British
have made no money out of mining in
this country. They should not send
over the proverbial younger son, and
luxurious mine managers, who "dress
for dinner" in remote mining camps
and have French chefs, and violinists
to soothe them during the hour of di-
gestion. Americans are mining to bet
ter advantage here; they are mostly
plain, practical men, and when they
buy mine they send one set of experts
to check up another, aud then pay a
price for the property, and no more

AN ALL AROUND FRIEND.

Weneed not talk about the weather when
we come to discuss the cause of so many
aches and pains which afflict mankind.
Much of these Affections is from heritage
of infirmity of the nerves, muscles and
joints of the human body. Many pains
and aches, it is true, are brought on by
exposure to cold or bv sudden chill hut
as to a general condition to which we may
in a general way is curative for all. This
is one reason why st. Jacobs Oil is so pop
ular 1t cures aches and pains in all FORMS,
and they are wise who keep it steadily on
hand to be used i'll emergencies at any time
in the cure OF the most acute attacks.

A woman's Daily Paper.

There has just been launched in
Paris daily paper devoted solely to
the interests of the fair sex. 1t is pro-
duced entirely by women, and not only
are the editors, the managers and the
staff of reporters women, but the type
is set by female compositors, and it is
reported that even the printers devils
are feminine members of the genus
"gamin." The name of the paper is La
Fronde. Used as noun this means
the implement of ancient warfare with
which David slew Goliath, while to the
verb 'fronder" the translation to sling,
to censure, to blame, to criticise and to
oppose all equally apply, and, Judging
from the first number, are singularly
appropriate, since it is full of abuse of
everything that can possibly be con-
strued as the handiwork OF man.
Nine. Severine, whose writings have
won for her a worldwide reputation,
is edtor-in-chief, and the enterprise is
said to be backed by plenty OF money.

State Mining Boards.

State mining boards, Mr.. Batchelder
of Portland, believes, would be of
great assistance to the mining inter-
ests of Oregon and Washington. Like
others, Mr.. Batchelder realizes that
the mineral districts have been sadly
neglected. With the character of ore,
the fuel, the timber, transportation,
the grades of ore for tiuxing each other,
and the mild climate. Oregon and
Washington, he says, should be the
greatest mineral-producers in the West.
State boards could be of advantage in
many ways. For one thing, they
could constitute themselves fountain
head of reliable information, by keep
ing in touch with all the districts,
where capitalists. strangers and people
at home could draw from for investing,
etc.

Keeping Dickens Birthday.

The birthday of Dickens was cele-
brated in London by some ceremonies
organized by Mr.. Edwin Drew, and it
is of interest to note that had the no.
velist lived he would have been SO
years of age. The grave in Westmin-
ster Abbey was visited by Mr.. and Mrs.
Drew and a party of friends, and a
wreath was deposited upon it. Seeing
many strangers near Mr.. Drew began a
little speech, but it was nipped in the
bud by a verger-being, of course,
technically, perniciously near the legal
offense of "brawling." Taking the
wreath with them, Mr.. Drew's party
proceeded to an evening entertainment
in st. James hall, when various reci-
tations, songs, speeches and so forth,
more or less connected with Dickens,
formed the programme of the evening.
