DIED FROM FEAR.
Frederick 1. of Prussia Fatally Scared
by His Insane Wife.

Frederick 1. of Prussia Fatally Scared
by His Insane Wife.
The English surgeon Gen. Francis
tells of a drummer in India across
whose legs harmless lizard crawled
while he was half asleep, says an ex-
change. He was sure that cobra had
bitten him, and it was too much for his
nerves, and he died. Frederick l Of
Prussia was filled by fear. His wife
was insane, and one day she escaped
from her keepers, and, dabbling her
clothes in blood, rushed upon her hus-
band while he was doing in his chair.
King Frederick imagined her to be the
white lady, whose ghost was believed
invariably to appear whenever the
death of member of the royal family
was to occur, and he was thrown into
fever and died in six months.
Perhaps the most remarkable death
from fear was that of the Dutch pain
ter, Pentman, who lived in the seven
teenth century. One day he went in
to a room full of anatomical subjects
to sketch some death heads and skele-
tons for a picture he intended to paint.
The weather was very sultry and while
sketching he fell asleep. He was
aroused by bones dancing around him
and the skeletons suspended from the
ceiling clashing together. In a fit Of
terror he threw himself out Of the
window, and, though he sustained no
injury, and was informed that slight
earthquake had caused the commotion
among his ghostly surroundings, he
died in a few days in nervous tremor.

The war against gum-chewing begun
by Bishop Vincent of the Methodist
Episcopal church is the result of toU
much thought on very cheap sub
ject. The bishop thinks that to resist
gum is to prepare the young for self
sacrifice of a more important kind. If
they, forego gum they will omit liquor,
and if they let that alone they will
let alone other things equally as bad.
1t is logic, but it is foolishness. And,
strange as it seems, the bishop is ac-
tually in earnest.

What is golf? A queens counsel
lately thus irreverently defined the
game for the benefit of the English
Judge who was hearing case involv-
ing the playing of golf: II believe.
my lord, that the game Of golf is played
in irregular fields or waste grounds
with a small ball which the player
tries to hit with stick. If he sue
ceeds in hitting the ball he spends the
rest of the day in looking for It," To
the solemn-faced golfer this description
of the pastime must seem like trifling
with a serious subject.

A WORD OF ADVICE.
70 Those Coming to Alaska or the

70 Those Coming to Alaska or the
KlondiISe 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
sity 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 precautlon
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 indeh-
nitely under all the conditions when
they will have to encounter is I'M
perative. For instance. as bread raisea
with baking powder must be relied up
on for the chief part of every meal,
imagine the helplessness OF a 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 TINS
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 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 the trail or in the camp, is
published by the Royal Baking Pow
der company, of New York. The re-
ceipts are thoroughly practical, and the
methods are carefully explained, so
that the inexperienced may, with its
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
weighing but two ounces. Under a
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 copy. Address the Royal Bak-
ing Powder Co., New York.

The trouble with most young men is
that they do not understand the dignity
of manual labor. They do not realize
that honors ard fortune may be more
readily realized outside of the so-called
learned professions than in them and
that 1t is just as honorable to swing
the hammer or to hold pillow as 1t Is
to make a speech in court or amputate
a limb. The lesson young men should
be taught as early as possible is that
II is not so much what man does for
a living as it is how well he does 1t,
and that manual labor is as honorable
as any other.
