A WORD OF ADVICE
To Those Coming to Alaska Or tho
Klondike 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-
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 mas
observed or neglected this precautlon
more than upon any other one thing
will his success or failure depend.
These supplies must be healthful ano
should be concentrated, but the mosI
careful attention in the selection OIL
foods that will keep unimpaired lnoel-
nitely under all the condition winch
they will have to encounter IS I'M
perative. For instance, as bread ralseu
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 flour; 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 TINS
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 -" rail or in the camp, is
publishes - the Royal Baking Pow
drr company, of New York. The re-
ceipts are thoroughly practical, and the
methods are carefully explained, so
that the inexperienced may, with it's
aid, readily prepare everything requi-
site for a good, wholesome meal, or
even dainties if he has the necessary
materials. The matter is in compact
though durable form, the whole book

NOT A GOLDBUG.
Abraham Lincoln Did not Favor Che
Gold MONOPOLY.

When the writer of this article came
to Washington in the winter Of 1864
'G5 as senator from the new state Of
Nevada, he was received by President
Lincoln in the most cordial manner.
Mr. Lincoln said:
II am glad to see you here, rep
resenting the new mining state Of
Nevada. I have watched with solicit
tude the development of the mines of
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. The
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 our
mines will not only continue to furnish
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 and
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
friend of Wall and Lombard streets,
and in favor Of destroying silver
single gold standard under the false
pretense Of maintaining the credit OF
the country. 1t 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
tempting to get something for moth
ing; no one then said that they were
SILVER barons,' attempting to swindle
the government The fact that the
goldites have found it necessary to
abuse and SANDER the pioneers of the
west can only be accounted for by that
element in human nature which leads
men who have wronged their neigh
bcrs to speak i'll Of them to justify the
wrong. The miners of the ];st 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 ne has inflicted
upon him. William M. Stewart.

The Ears' Of Insects.

The naturalists have not as yet beer
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 nc 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 houset1y 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!-

lie seized the letter as furnishing
man snatches food from outstretcheG

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 trembled SO violently that be
could scarcely hold the dainty sheet.
He knew that she had not been
well for some time, and how thank
full he felt to get these few words of
love and tenderness, for if she were
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, and tears of
agony rolled down his cbeeks-she
had told him that she was much
stronger and hoped to be able to
mako him a 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 postscript!

on tip toe to catch a 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
ho sat there stupid and motionless,
memory flashed from its panorama
OF past days before his throbbing
the bitter present in the kisses of
the past. He saw the modest little
home where no had led her, happy
wife in those golden days, and
thrill of Joy trembled through his
heart as he recalled those happy
hours; he saw that home when first
it heard the prattlo of baby, and so
vivid was the dream that he could
almost feel the childish arms about
his neck, and once he made move
ment 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 Il little grassy
mound, beneath whose nodding flow
ers slept their boy!
Then this trouble had come, when
| in a moment of anger, he had dealt
| fellow man q blow that had taken
one life and consigned another to a
weary term Of imprisonment. He
remembered how faithfully she had
stood beside him in his hours of
darkness, and 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

The cleanest, brightest safest and really,
in the long run, the cheapest and best light
for use in the family residence, is the mean
descent electric light. Safe nothing could
be safer. A few days ago prominent gen
tleman of Honolulu came rushing down to
the office of the Electric Company and said:
"Give me figures for wiring my house, and
want ii done at once; no more lamps for me.
Last night a lamp tipped over and it came
so near setting fire to the house and burning
my children and ] take no more risks"
This is the sentiment of quite a number in
the past few weeks, who have ordered their
houses fitted with the perfect light.
just think it over and make up your mind
that you want the best and safest light; send
for the Hawaiian Electric Company and tell
them what you wall.
