The San Francisco OF the North.

A first impression of Dawson, in Au-
gust, 1898, could not be other than one
calculated to bring up comparisons with
strange and foreign lands. AS we saw it,
approaching from the water side, it per-
sistently suggested the banks of the
Yang tse- kiang, or OF some other Chinese
river, on which densely apportioned
population had settled. Hundreds-one
is almost tempted to say thousands-of
boats were lined up against the river front,
and so packed in rows back of one another
that exit from the inner line was made
possible only by passive accommodation
from the outside. There were steam
craft, house boats, scows, and variety of
minor bottoms, ranging from the hay pack
ed raft to the graceful Peterboro canoe.
Many had canvas spread over them, giving
house quarter to those who preferred the
economy of an owned estate to the high
priced cabins of log huts and hotels, and
the purity of the open air to what was at
least considered to be the polluted atmos-
phere of the stable city. From Alaska
and the Klondike, by Prof. Angelo He'll

this is the time that the coon cats are
shedding their long hair, and they assist
the shedding process by tapping off the
loose hairs of their long coat, and swal-

they are apt to be ill, and a doctor is call

Mackerel Running Large.

PRovINcETowN, May %. The fleet of
mackerel draggers fished last night off the
Sandwich shore, and was late in reaching
port. Nearly the entire lot of boats is still
outside of Long Point, with wind ahead
and light.
The Zeppie with 10 Harry Nj. Young
175, and the Ina go mackerel, have arrived.
These boats fished quite near the Prov
incetown side of the bay, and did not,
evidently, find the school,
1t is probable that the boats which fish
ed farther out found mackerel plentier,
and that the total catch is large.
The mackerel caught are the largest
ever taken here at this season, the fish of
TO- day averaging three pounds in weight
and IS inches in length.
