Costly Mining in the KIoncike.

The engineer, with his ocean steam CTS, wharves, railroads, aerial cable ways, riverboats, etc, has converted what was once an expedition of ex-
 lsme physical danger and hardship, md what next became journey of ex. tremc pecuniary danger and expense. into rapid, safe, convenient, and also cheap trip to the Arctic circle. It is this cheapness that above all else will develop the resources of those far-ofr regions, making profitable great num- bers of mines to-day unavoidable.
 In California, gravels containing as little as five cents of gold to the cubic yard are washed at a profit, but in the klondike region all gravel that yields less than $15 per cubic yard is minted at loss. It is too much to expect that far northern gravels can never be worked as cheaply as Tn California, but it is too much to expect that with cheaper labor, cheaper supplies, and above all, better appliances, $5 gravels Will in time have e.-Harrington Emerson, in The Engineering Maga- zine.

THE EXPRESS BUSINESS.
"o.'"rehensiveness of the Business 1ndertakings of the Various
 Express Companies.

The business of the express comma. nies is now so comprehensive that. in trying to describe it, one i, left i, doubt whether it would be easier to tell what they do or what they do not do. The underlying principle of these enterprises is to give patrons n personal agent at a minimum cost. In are prepared to execute all leritima,. commissions, and where and at any time, and man can not discover what they do not do without first making an application. In order to test their capacity in this respect, the writer re- marked to the manager of one oe the big companies:
 I understand that in several Eu, ropean countries it sometimes happen, that man can not get away to attend his own wedding. He then marries by proxy, and his wife brought to him. Ii, man came to you asking that your company perform such Il service for him, would you undretake the com, mission?"
 "Well,' he replied, ''the order would be unusual, but I think we could at. tend to it all right. If the customer made the necessary deposit to cover expenses, We would instruct our cor. respondent nearest to the home of tho bride to go through the ceremony as the law of the country required, and then see the bride safely started on her lonely honeymoon trip. Our agents would meet her wherever she had to change steamers or cars, and finally deliver her safely to her husband.

HE KNEW ALL ABOUT IT.
Amazing Facts About the spinnakes Told to an Inquiring Crowd
 by . Smart Aleck.

During the progress of the races fcl the America's cup between the yachts Shamrock and Columbia an interested crowd had gathered before the Inter Ocean building to read the bulletins displayed announcing the progress of the contests. The sympathy of this crowd, of course, was always with the American boat, and when the bulletins announced it as in the lead there was manifest elation shown, whereas when the Shamrock led gloom appeared on the faces and an audible groan greeted the bulletin.
 Of course, the 'know it all'' was in the crowd, and his learned comments on the handling of the boats were ac. cepted with eagerness by the ignorant while the better informed heard him with amusement. Among the bulletins that were put up the other day was the following:
 Columbia has just broken out her spinnaker.'
 ''Now, I wonder what that means?" said a gentleman who had joined the throng. Couldn't they prevent the break-out?"
 MT. Know-It-An heard the remark and undertook to explain. 'sI always thought that Iselin should have put in heavier masts," he said, disgustedly "He hasn't got ghost of show now The spinnaker," to the elderly gentle. man, ''is the upper part of the mast. and by broken out they mean it has broken out of its socket and gone over. board"
 'Dear, dear!" said the elderly gentle. man. But can't they pick it mp again ?~
 "Yes, but the chances are it's in two pieces, owing to the strain upon it, and. besides, it would lose too much time.s
 "I thought" said bystander, mod. estly, 'that the spinnaker was sail?. "Ho, ho!" said MT. Know-It-All, laugh. ingly, tits very evident that you never saw saltwater rig. You're thinking of these fresh-water yachts. They have sail called a spinnaker; that's at. tached to the boom, but on saltwater yachts they can't use that sail" By this time another bulletin ap- peared in the window, reading:
 Columbia is gaining steadily; is now half a mile ahead"
 How do you account for that?" said the elderly gentleman to MT. Know. It-All.
 "She probably carried spare spin. maker and hoisted it when she lost the other" he said, calmly. "A very pretty piece of work, indeed" and he walked off, conscious of having acquitted him. self creditably.-Chicago Inter Ocear

FORGET IT.
We Should Cultivate the Habit = Letting Unpleasant Inci-
 dents Pass.

Forget everything aggravating and disagreeable just as quickly as pos. sible. Don't remember the hurt, the sting, the disappointment, the pain. long enough to have it settle down into the subconsciousness and root round there. It is astonishing how these things do take root, and how, when we seem to have forgotten them, they sud- denly rise and confront us. Perhaps, when we are feeling our best and hap piest, the shadow looms up, bringing back vivid reminder of the old condi- tion.
 To learn to forget it is to form the habit of having nothing to remember, and that is the most blessed of all states. We cannot reach this beautiful goal at bound, but we can trudge along faith fully and comfortably every day, and have good time on the trip, if we only will have it.
 The other day a hurrying man stepped on woman's trailing lace gown and tore slit of half yard or more in the skirt. He wasn't to blame. If women will carpet the sidewalks with silk and lace the inevitable conse- quences are none too hard for them. But how that woman did scold as she gathered up her despoiled finery! A small newsboy crying the evening pa pers, who had been an interested wit ness of the accident, at last yelled out:
 Why don't you stop your jawing and forget it?"
 Here was common sense, philosophy, science, and there was-well, probably very lovely woman when her lace feelings were not lacerated by "hor- rid, awkward booby of man." That ia what she called him.
 There is sowing and reaping sermon in this incident, but space forbids, so we shall have to forget it."-Eleanor Kirk, in Housewife.

 The commission then takes up the con- ditscns of the country at the time of their arrival, comparing it with condition ex- istinG at the time they left a short time ago. vivid picture is given of the an archy existing among the inhabitants in and about Manila during the early spring The situation in the city" says the commission, was bad. Incendary fires occurred daily. The streets were almost deserted Half of the native population had fled, and most of the remainder were shut in their houses. Business was at a standstill. lnsurgent troops everywhere faced our lines. and the sound of rifle fire was frequently audible in our house. A reign of terror prevailed. Filipinos who had favored Americans feared assassina- tion, and few had the courage to come out openly for us. Fortunately. there were among this number some of the best men of the city
 The report then speaks of the issuance of the committees proclamation and the good effect it had on public sentiment. The natives accustomed to Spanish prom ises. urged upon the commission that acts instead of promises should be given them. As u result native law courts were estab- ished, and this greatly aided in the re- storation of public confidence. The flow or population soon began to set toward the city. Natives who had ged from their homss returned.

Di.po.inr of Government, Lands.

There Is a strong growing sentiment
IN many sections in favor of allowing
the Western states to have control of
the public lands situated within their
borders and lease them to stockmen.
using the rental money for state i'm.
provements, such as building irriga-
ton works. improving land, etc. The
prejudice against allowing the govern
ment to cede the public lands to the
states is SO fixed that those who have
favored this policy have reached the
conclusion that they will never attain
their end; but tho rental proposition
is comparatively new idea, and meets
with very general favor. Some OF the
new states have very small settled
areas, and 1t Is claimed that 1t is un-
fair that they should be imposed with
the burden of policing in some cases
as much as 30 per cent of the state,
which is government land, and from
which the state derives no visible BEN
eft. If. however, this land should be
leased for n nominal sum, it would do
away with the range problem, which
Is becoming serious matter in the
West, now that there is not room
enough for all the stockmen, and 1t
would bring in a considerable revenue
to the states and territories. Iegis-
latures of new states are prone some
times to do very foolish things, but 1t
Is argued that whatever they did with
the money derived from the leases
they could only squander the incomes
while the title to the land would still
remain with the general government
until needed for actual settlement.

The window culture of orchids.

Orchid culture is simple. but to un-
derstand the matter one must go into
the principles of the culture, and know
the difference in the nature of the cul-
tivated orchids from most plants cul-
tivated in glass houses or windows.
There is no reason why one who grows
window plants cannot grow orchids
wherever other towering plants are
grown. I know one lady who grows
cattleyas splendldly in an ordinary
window. Orchids are the latest result
OF creative evolution in natures floral
kngdom-there are no fossil orchids
and are the most interesting of all
towering forms for the amateur to
grow. Many Of the most beautiful Of
all are to be bought at moderate prices,
and an added interest in life would
come to multitudes of people II they
would take up the study and grow
ing Of the orchid.
To make beginning one should Sc
cure good manual Of culture. BY
far the best practical manual on the
subject is an English work by Bar
berry. orchid grower to the Hon.
Joseph Chamberlain. M. p, entitled
~ "Amatanr Orchid Ciilt1yator'a
