neither did he believe in antici-
pating three years ahead. Mr..

pie Of Orange Springs for whom

situation that persons holding
proxies, but not democrats ac-
cordlng TO his ruling, should re-

The vote was then taken as

more democratic votes III 1896,
with a divided party, than did
Cleveland in 1892:
Judge McConathy disscnted
from Chairman Harris opinion
10 man could tell what changes
would take pace by that time,
and if silver was the paramount
issue in chat contest he believed
there were other men more avail
able for the democratic nominee

said he didn't believe in personal

at Camp Alger, near Washington, num-
berlng 1900 men; two at Tampa; two
at ChIckamauga, and one at Mobile.
These last five corps contain each 1900
men. Then there are at Chattanooga 45,
900 volunteers and in the sea-coast de-
fences about 20 600.
Of the regulars, about twenty-five regi-
ments are at Tampa of 1,272 men each
most OF the others are on the coast
Against this 155, 900 of United States
regulars and volunteers are to be placed
the Spanish army as follows: In Spain,
$4,000; in Cuba, $50 600; in Porto Rico 20
600: in the Philippines 1900.
THE troops in Cuba are composed of
100000 Spanish regulars, 10000 guerillas
and 10000 volunteers. These guerillas
are Cubarls who are fighting for Spain
The 5000 volunteers are made up Of

Messrs. Mann &c Mackenzie, we'll
konwn railroad contractors, have Sc
cured the right from the Canadian gov
ernment to build line of railway from
Telegraph Creek or Glenora, on the
Stikine river, to Lake Teslin, a dis
tance of $50 miles. The contractors
agree to have the road completed by the
1st of September, 1898. 1t will connect
by means of lighters with boats at
Wrangall.
The dominion government officials
are taking steps to secure options on
vacant lands in the provinces lying west
ofLake Superior, SO as to facilitate their
settlement. Many new districts are
now being opened out by lines of rail
way under construction.
The Self-Help Emigration society,
whose offices are at the Memorial hall,
Harrington street, London, has received
a free government grant of II 800 acres
of land in the province of Ontario. The
minister of the interior has made fur
ther grant to the society of a section
of land near Winnipeg to be used as a
home center. During the last 12 years
the society has aided nearly 5000 per-
SONS to emigrate.
The impression has gone abroad that
the United States government will send
a detachment of United States troops
with the relief expedition to the Klon-
dixie. Such is not the case. Minister
Sifton, of Ottawa, Can, says the mount
ed police alone will act as escort.
Three parties of Klondikers occupied
a tourist sleeper that passed through
Winnipeg recently for the west. They
intended to get into the gold fields as
soon as possible, and will outfit on the
coast.
Mr.. A. McEwen, representative of the
Western Electric company of Chicago,
who recently spent some days in Winni-
peg, was very much delighted with
Manitoba weather, as compared with
that of Chicago. He had expected il
to be much colder.
Wheat is selling in western Canada
at 80 cents per bushel. Other commodi-
ties bring good prices on account of the
Klondike rush.

ARE YOU TO LIVE IN ALASKA7
some Requirements That VIII Be
EOund Indispenanble.

The universal article of diet in that
country, depended upon and indispensa-
BILE, is bread OF biscuit. And tNmake the
bread and biscuit, either in the camp or
upon the trail, yeast cannot be used-it
must be baking powder; and the pow
der manufactured by the processes 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 satisfac-
torily.
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 outfitter to
take one of the cheap brands of baking
powder, it will cost just as much to
transport it, and then when he 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 mistake might lead to the most
serious results. Alaska is no place in
which to experiment in food, or try to
economize with your stomach. For use
in such a climate, and under the trying
and fatiguing conditions of life and
labor in that country, everything must
be the best and most useful, and above
all it is imperative that all food supplies
shall have perfect keeping qualities. 1t
is absurd to convey over such difficult
and expensive routes an article that
will deteriorate in transit, or that will
be found when required for use to have
lost great part of its value.
There is no better guide to follow
in these matters than the advice of those
who have gone through similar expert
ence. Mr.. McQuesten, who is called "the
father of Alaska" after an experience
of years upon the trail, in the camp, and
in the use of every kind of supply, says:
1--WE find in Alaska that the Importance
of proper kind of baking powder can
not be overestimated. 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 Royal. 1t
is stronger, and carries further, 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 U.
S. Government in it's relief 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 nightly concentrated and ef-
ficient of leavening agents. Hence it is
Indispensable to every Alaskan outfit,
1t can be had of any of the trading COM
panies in Alaska, but should the miner
procure his supplies before leaving, he
should resist every attempt of the out
filter to palm off upon him any of the
other brands of baking powder, for they
will spoil and prove the cause of great
disappointment and trouble

before taking up their home there visited
the country as delegates. They reported
to the Government of the Dominion of
Canada the result of their observations,
and from this report extracts have been
taken, which are published below:
I'VE have visited number of most desir-
able locations, and are highly pleased with
the country as a whole, it being beyond our
highest expectations. We find here pros
porous and well-contented lot of people.
They have comfortable homes, and their
vast fields of wheat and other crops in addi-
tion to their herds of choice cattle, indicate
prosperity in the full sense of the word. In
conversation with the farmers throughout
our trip we learned that the majority of
them came here with very limited means,
and some with no more than enough to
bring them here, and they are now well-to-
do. They all claim that this is the only coun-
try for poor man, or one with little means,
to get start and make home for himself
and family. As you are aware, we were a
little shaky and undecided before leaving
Detroit, but have determined since that we,
with our friends, will make this country our
future home. 1t is far from being the wilder
ness we had pictured it to be; it is, instead,
a land having all the facilities required by
modern civilization, such as railroads, mar
kets, stores churches, schools, etc, in fact,
an ideal home for those having the future
welfare of themselves and families at heart"

media district, but what they say of it appeals
in a general way to most other districts in
that vast country. They speak of the fuel,
which is to be had in great quantities, of the
water that can be had by digging from 10 to
20 feet, and of the good grazing land to be
had almost everywhere. There is plenty OF
wood for building timber and for fuel, while
coal is convenient, and sells at low prices at
the mines. In driving through the country
they passed many fine patches of wild rasp-
berries, and say they can speak highly Of
their flavor, as they could not resist the
temptation to stop and eat.

EDIBLE COFFINS.
Queer Forms of Pastry In the Middle
Ages.

At very early period the orientals
were familiar with kind of pastry, a
mixture of flour, oil and honey, and for
centuries pastry-making went no
further, even among the nations in the
south of Europe. But in the beginning
of the middle ages a change began to
take place in the method of mixing the
ingredients, and some other substances
were brought into use. Butter, eggs
and salt found their way into pastry
making, and the result was manifest
improvement. Paste next came to be
used as an inclosure for meat, seasoned
with spices, etc. Afterward it went a
step further, the next use being for the
inclosure of creams, fruit, preserves,
etc, and later still it began to take the
many fanciful shapes in which it has
since been commonly found. In the
early stages of English cookery the
pastry cases were called coffins OF
"coffynes," and were made in various
sizes from ''gret coffynes with lowe
liddes" for the "tartes of fflesche," to
the 'smalle coffynes" for ''tartolettes"
of "fische or fflesche," mixed with
''stuf of boylled figges ground and
good powdure and Spices"
Petruchio, in "The Tanning of the
Shrew," it may here be noted, calls a
title cap "a custard coffin" These cof-
fins correspond with the ''vol-au-vent"
of to-day. The art of making very light
pastry, such as puff paste, is probably
modern one, but pastry of several
kinds was anciently used. For meat
pastry butter was dissolved in boiling
water, and worked into a soft mass
with fine flour. AS it cooled it would
set in any form desired. Another paste
Of fiaky kind was made very much as
at present, while still another kind,
called pam puff, was made of fine -four
and the yolk of egg, no water at all be-
ing used. This was for the finer kinds
of neutrality-suspicious. Maga-

BIRDS EAT 400 SHEEP.
The Feast Took Place 100 Miles From
Dawson and Cost $2O,OOO.

Jack Collins, who started for Dawson
City with band of sheep last summer,
has been heard from. He sold part of
his flock for $4,000. The other and
biggest half of the flock fed the birds
of the arctic zone. This is how it hap
pened:
He drove the sheep in over the Dal-
ton trail. Some time before Dawson
was reached cold weather came on, and
Collins decided to kill his sheep. He
killed and sold 500, and received nearly
100000 for them.
Then he concluded to hold the re-
mainder for batter market. He killed
the remaining 800 in a sort of secluded
place off the line of travel and suspend
ed the carcasses on poles far enough
above the ground to be out of the reach
of bears, wolves or other wild animals.
He left two young men to watch the
mutton, and proceeded to look for a
mining section. Having found one, he
located claim and proceeded to test
it. After he had dug out few thou
sand dollars worth of gold he thought
he would, as the French say, return
to his muttons."
His stay had been so prolonged that
the young men had become weary of
holding a wake over the sheep, and,
imagining Dawson to be only a few
miles away, had started for that city
to enjoy some of the pleasures a met
ropolitan city can afford. 1t proved to
bc about 100 miles to Dawson, so their
absence was more extended than they
had inended, and when Collins reached
the place where he had left the car
casses of 400 sheep he found only 400
bleaching skeletons.
The eagles, ravens, crows, kites,
hawks and other birds of prey which
habit that region had been feasting
On mutton. "Where the carcass is,
there will the eagles be gathered" is
proverb which applies to other birds
prey. Collins had left so many car
casses that invitations had been sent
out and general roundup of all the
vultures and things in that region, from
Behring sea to the Mackenzie river, had
taken place. Whether the claim Col
Inns secured will make good the loss
of the mutton or not remains to be seen,
but when he drives in his next band Of
sheep the birds of prey will not get
SO large percentage of them.-Port-
