The case is this said Mrs. Register with
a judicial air. There is one vacancy in
the Emersonians and two applicants for
it-Mrs. Budd Rogers, a young widow and
Mr.. Green. Now if we take Mrs. Rogers
that will make us, besides all the married
couples, eight single ladies n hVe single
gentlemen"
But we don't want Mrs. Rogers said
Picnic quickly.
"And if we take Mr.. Green we shall be
seven ladies to the six gentlemen"
He'll never count for a gentleman"
said Picnic.
"Well it looks so from your stand
point, but you see the case-in that he is
not a gentleman Of that is so) we don't
want him, but in hat he is another man
| we do want him."
Phemie sighed, "Oh dear, oh dear" but
Mrs. Register knew hat she had won the
case, and changed the subject.
Il am so glad Miss Phosie that at last
l know you we'll enough to tell you from
| your sister. and PhoSie is such a pretty
name. l often want to call you by it,
"Don't-for Tn Picnic! and we really
are not SO much alike; we are quite dis
tinct and individual persons"
Il wish you would convince us all of
that" said Mrs. Register.
Wei you will see pretty soon.
The next night of the EmersOnians
there was Picnic moving about, chat
ting to everybody, her hair piled high
in ~pompadOur, her dress a light, hut-
tering, founcy affair, with a train, While
Phosie. her hair in a gothic peak over her
eyes, II a severe little black satin gown
tucked herself quietly up among the sofa
cushions of a cosy corner. If she did not
speak to Mr.. Green it was because he did
not know her, and if Phemie had only
a far-away nod for him it was because
she was so surrounded by the attentions
of other people that she could not notice
him,

YUKON'S MOUTH IS SHALLOW.

The latest advices received in this city
from the government survey party at
the mouth of the Yukon are to the eff
feet that failure has attended the effort
to discover an entrance for deep sea
vessels. 1t is now believed that no such
entrance exists, and before the Yukon
can be made naVigable for ocean craft
considerable dredging will have to be
lone on the bar which cuts Behring sea
off from the deep waters of the river.
( This news will prove a great dlsap-
pointment to all persons interested in
the development of Alaska. For a long
time past there has been a widespread
belief that a SO-called 'true-mOuth'
existed, through which large steam
ships could enter the Yukon. Once in
the stream it would be an easy matter
for them to ascend nearly 500 miles,
regardless of the ~fluctuating stages of
the river, which maintains an average
width of ten miles to the lower ram
parts and a depth varying from 40 to
$50 feet. BY using this water highway
up to the Tanana and Nulato, supplies
could be placed in the heart of Alaska
Daily inter mountain. [volume] (Butte, Mont.) 1881-1901, 1899-01-21
almost as cheaply as though shipped


Such facilities would mean an enOr-
nous development of mining industries,
inasmuch as many claims which are
now Improbable on account of the high
prices charged for supplies could be
worked to good a%ccount. Moreover,
plentiful supplies in central Alaska would
mean an enormous increase in the
amount of prospecting DONE. Experience
has shown that river steamboats, on the
Yukon are expensive and unreliable.
It was with a thorough understand
ing of these facts that the United
States coast and geodetic survey office
QUILTED a party last spring to go to
the mouth of the Yukon and make a
careful survey and ascertain whether
or not the runored deep sea entrance
was a reality or a myth. Capt. Pratt
had the work in charge, and since be-
ginning nearly the entire area has been
covered, but without result. A uniform
bar appears to exist, crossing all of the
, various outlets, with about six feet of
water IN it at high tide. This bar is of
soft muck, and varies from a quarter to a
half-mile in width. 1t is apparent that
the bar originated through the long-con-
tinued deposit of river sediment. In fact,
it has been found that the sea itself has

instantly to make themselves felt by

his hat off to them. the bellboy skipped
briskly at their call, and the elevator
man said good morning or good

The maids who did the cleaning were re-
spectful, the man who kept the fruit store

florist brought extra roses on Christmas

A reason for this probably was that

much abroad they had contracted the
habit of feeling quite literally all who in
any way served them.

HIS "SUPREME MOMENT"

Novelists are all wrong when they
mention 1.-The time he proposed or
"the moment their eyes met as the
supreme moment of some sentimental
couple. A charming woman, who has
been in love with her husband for five
years, told me how she always remem-

There are few wharves in the Philips

all the work Of exploring the coast must

evening toilets. A white net gown spark

aid with the picture completed with
few trails of white Banksia roses, was
one in the list of costumes for a debu-

arranging one shoulder strap for decol-

This is usually the strapping for the left
shoulder, while on the right a drapery
of lace or crossed pieces of black velvet
ribbon do duty, and bright Jeweled
brooches are often fastened in the velvet
ribbon. Lace sleeves all the way to the
wrist are dropping into second place be-
hind the modes just mentioned, and
drapery of chiffon falling nearly to the
elbow, but open on the top of the arm,
is one Of Worths latest contrivances.
Over the shoulder a bow of small flowers
often bends in additional decoration, but
floral treatment rarely plays a more con-
spicuous part. What the dressmakers
seemingly delight in is the incrustation
of a net or silk muslin skirt with fioriat-
ed lace garlands, the leaves and stems of

spangles. They do not hesitate to drop
