Gone more Yukoner. H. r. Miller, FORM

coming from Dawson to the coast, over the

1t his opinion that navigation will
open between Dawson and st. Michael
about June 1st, or two weeks earlier than
usual, owing to the warm weather that
prevails on the Yukon.
Miller says the steamers Bella and
Weare will be likely to take out the first
gold this year to st. Michael. They are
now with the Victoria and st. Michael, in
the ice near Circle City. When the river
opens the Bella and Weare will go to Fort
Hamilton for provisions, taking out the
gold on their return trip to Dawson, wait
ing there to take prospecting parties to
the Stewart River and other recently-ex-
plotted territories. Fully 0,000. 900 in gold
will leave Dawson this summer, according

difficulty whatever in doing what he did,
that is. to sail into the bay as on the high
seas.

engaged the Spanish squadron with the
result as told. But 1t appears that during

work reconstructing the wires under the
fire Of the American warships. The sew

toll and pains to cleanse dress, one may
as well have aprons in plenty in convenient
places. An apron in the kitchen IS taken
for granted; in the nursery and the sewing
room 1t is equally serviceable; but an apron
is not meant for the drawing room, and
should not be worn there.
Nurses and Mattresses aprons large

large sleeves gathered into band at the
wrist. These aprons may be made of cam

be white or colored, as the mother prefers.
Our little school girls have ceased to wear

To remove stains from silver. especially
such as are caused by medicine or neglect,
use sulphuric acid rubbing 1t on with a lit
tie flannel pad, then rinsing the articles
most carefully at once. For less ingrained
stains the pulp OF lemon whose juice has
been used for lemon squash. may be recon-
mended as both efficient and harmless.

in a silver dish from which it is impossible
to move the eatable, baking tin should be

Again, as eggs and vinegar are alike ant

A number of passengers at the railroad
depot in Cincinnati gathered in the waiting
room around a very interesting little mite
of a girl. perhaps five years old, who sat
by herself, hugging a doll. The little one
was pretty, with large black eyes, raven
black hair, rather dirty hands, but a face
so pleasant and full of light that it natur-
ally attracted everybody.
Nobody could talk to little Bohumala
Homa. for that was her name yet ladies
who bent down over her seemed TO under
stand her dainty foreign jargon. Around
the child's neck was a string that held sus-
pended upon her bosom the photograph OF
a young woman holding a babe in her
arms. To the photograph was a note writa
ten in the Polish language stating the name
of the child, whittier bound, and asking
strangers to show her along her way.
The child had come all the way from
Bremen, In north Germany. all alone, and
was on her way to her mother whose name
is Anna Klobosa and who lives at 170s
South Broadway, st. Louis. The place
from which she started originally could
not be learned Her clothes were very
poor and her little shoes were made of the
coarsest kind Of leather. She carried no
baggage except a little school sack, In
which were a few primary books, nuts,
candies cakes and large envelopes that
contained her transportation. or these the
little one was very careful, and would cry
in a frightened manner If anybody touched
them.

was first tagged and sent afioat down one
