WHERE THE COLD IS.

Those who are thinking of getting
 rich in the Klondike region will be in-
 terested in a description given of that
 region by a member of the American Geological society. It comprises about | 1000 square miles, and is bounded by the Yukon river on the west, the Klon- dike river on the north which flows
 into the Yukon from the east; the val
 ley of Flat creek on the east, and the watershed between the Stewart and h.
 dian rivers on the west. The greatest elevation above the sea level is about four thousand feet, and the country is succession of vast swelling hills, with deep valleys intervening. Trees and shrubs grow on a soil composed of de-
 composed rocks and along the numer- ous creeks are located the best-paying claims. The rocks underlying the gold
 bearing ore are micaceous and schists, often cut by veins of quartz and dark
 green basic rocks and porphyries. In the bottoms of the valleys of the creeks
 there is a deposit of gravel from six to twenty feet thick lying on the bed rock.
 This gravel is covered by several feet of peat, but down near the bed rock
 nuggets of various sizes are to be found, some as large as d potato, and
 others but minute particles In some cases rich claims have been located in
 lateral moraine which extends along dred feet The conditions under which
 the gold was deposited are stated as follows: The rock with it's included gold had decayed to a considerable

 that hardly any sort of dress can be l planned without including some effect | of white in it's trimming. A gown of | fawn colored cloth, for instance, has a
 modish skirt stitched to the knees with white silk At the hips it Is slashed to | show points of white satin underneath. The bodice, blouse, opens over a white satin corded yoke, and Is trimmed with inlaid bands of white satin. Not
 all this white is essential, but touch
 of it should be seen.
 Spring jackets this year deserve the adjective "little," if ever they did. Few
 of them touch the hip line, and many of
 them end at the waist It is"this char acteristic that will mark the greatest difference between the old and the new
 but there will be plenty of other points that will make the new ones attractive. They present, In cut and trimming, an
 unusually charming variety. Two are

 as pretty and no two more alike than
 are these. The first of these was gray cheviot, tight and freely trimmed across the fronts with machine stitched
 bias bands. Its high collar and revers were faced with white cloth and finish- ed with dark gray soutache. The other jacket was light green serge, cut on the blazer order, but having a fitted vest finished with black chenille and braid. Revers, collars and sleeves were trim med in the same way. Jacket suits, the skirts to match, but usually with less trimming than the jacket, will be much worn during spring FLORETTE.

The "smoke nuisance with which j cities are afflicted isn't so easy to cure as some people think. A French com- mission, including in it's membership prominent city officials, scientists, and engineers, has spent three years in a study of the question, both from actual observations and from reports and doc uments. This commission was to in- vestigate acceptable forms of furnaces. and report to the city government at Paris. A competition was instituted in which no makers of furnaces, repre- senting Europe and America, partici- pated, and many varieties of devices were shown and tested. They were furnaces using mechanical fuel and methodical combustion, those with in- 1ections of air. some where steam was infected, and others where such pro- cesses as stirring the gases, burning dust-fuel, washing the smoke, usin gas producers, and heating the gases were employed. The tests were most con- plete, but the commission refused to award a first prize, contenting itself with conferring two second prizes, and awarding two first mentions, and one second mention. Some of the conclu- eions arrived at by the commission were as follows: Smoke cannot be suppressed without considerable excess of cost. Special fuel, as anthracite, coke, fuel gas, and mineral oils may be used where cost is not objectionable. The chimney-top should be visible to the man at the furnace. Further trials and experiments in this field are necessary. Existing legislation well enforced is ad- vised rather than any specific new legislation

Some people are so afraid of microbes that they want the water they drink distilled. But pr. Koppe, distin- guished German physician, says dis titled water really acts as poison by dissolving from the tissues necessary salts. The doctor says: By chemically pure water we usually understand per- fectly fresh, distilled water, whose be- havior and properties are well under stood. It withdraws the salts from the animal tissues and causes the latter to swell or inf1ate. Isolated living organic clements. cells, and all unicellular or ganisms are destroyed in distilled water they die, since they become engorged therein. They lose the faculty, upon which life depends, of retaining their salts and other soluble cell constituents, and consequently these are allowed to diffuse throughout the water Distilled water is, therefore dangerous proto- plasmic poison. The same poisonous ef- fleets must occur whenever distilled water Is drunk.

It appears that Admiral Cervera is to be prosecuted for losing his ships It appears also that the decision to sub- ject him to this humiliation was reach ed only after an agreement that the court should not sit in vain. Thus the admiral nay look forward to a penalty for the offence charged, and there is some probability that he will be im- prisoned for a year or two. Unfortu- nate and ill-treated man.

FASHION NOTES.
Cloth Skirts Now the Standby.

Cloth seems to be pushing satins and silks out of the market except for very elaborate dress occasions The satin skirt that for so long a time wethered all changes of taste, now appears :, little out of style. What is wanted is a cloth skirt to wear with that fancy bodice to which women cling. The cloth skirt, to be sure, is often sort of overskirt, or at any rate is curved away at the hem to show what appears to be an underskirt, and this arrange ment allows of all sorts of variations, any of them adding to the grace of a

raises his hat to her. He also raises his
hat when presented to a woman, When

Obituary..

The community of New Nj rket was
shocked on the morning OF October 9Th
by the announcement of the death of
Mr. Ray Brognard, who had only reached
the age OF noble manhood. Surely a
Ray of light and love and kindness has
passed from us. A more lovely disposi-
ton Of manhood cannot be found-al
ways obliging, kind and sympathetic
His place will not easily be filed. His
home is wonderfully saddened as the
Lonely mother was widowed only eight
months ago by the loss OF Mr.. Charles
Brognard, her beloved companion. And
the sister and only brother can scarcely
be reconciled. Surely death has chosen
q shining mark in it's touching our
brother. His health was more than
ordinary, having 80 entirely recovered
from severe illness of many months
standing He WAS entirely smtten down
in moment with spinal meningitis,
which in its severity never permitted a
rally after it's first attack. His sickness
was OF few days and fall OF anxious
expectations by the mother and sister
bis constant attendants. Hope had
fled from Ray at the first, but in heroic
manner he bracsd up and consolsd his
relatives !and dear friends His per-
feet readiness to die was expressed and
his business matters were known to his
mother. He even provided help for

forever. Ray was only "a years of age,
became a member of the church at the
age of l6. and was constant worker in
the Sunday school and active in the
Christian Endeavor. The many tokens
Of his friendship will last for years to
come His iuperal was conducted by
