AN ALAskAM HOME.


Sell culture. N...-t rr..- a. .Ifar va
An Alaskan hut is not the worst
place in the woild-far from it. Its
interior consists of square floor Of
earth fianked on all sides by two wide
lodges rising one above the other like
terrace. On the lower one rest the
cooking, weaving and fishing utensils,
the knives and needles, pots and pans.
On the upper ledge, with much display
of wonderfully woven blankets, arc the
beds. In the centre of the room glows
the fire, the smoke cropping its way out
of hole in the roof. After tho days
work is done, and the stomachs of both
people and dogs are full, the family
gathers around the fire. Facing the
door sits the father, next to him the
mother, on one hand the sons, and on
the other the daughters, even to the
third and fourth generations, it may
be. Beyond these are the servants or
slaves. Each has his place, and takes
it as matter of course. Without, in
the darkness, the dogs clutter about
the door and howl. The mysterious
and implaoable sea keeps up its thun-
der. The snow-capped mountains,
with their illimitable glaciers, lie just
beyond. The shafts of the Northern
Lights dart through the sky, like the
harpoons of Titan, with incredible
celebrity. Is it strange that, amid
scenes so wild and fearful, super
stitions, also wild and fearful, spring
into existenceY Or can one be SUR
prised that in an unlettered country
the story tellers are of mighty rover,
and tell tales that alright the children
till they scramble to the safe shelter of
their mothers arms? When the family
sings in strange, broken, yet rhythmical
measures, the dogs howl louder than
before, and the women sway their
SQUAT bodies back and forth I'M

piod meanwhile at their tasks of
weaving or braiding. The men carve
their spoons CT cut curious figures
from the black slate. y The sutton for
the hand of one of the daughters enters
slyly and takes seat with the sons.
No protest is made. The father and
mother 60 on with their little tasks,
the young girls giggle after the fashion
of girls the world over. And the sutton,
thus unrepulsed, contents himself
thinking his case won. The oldest
among them chants some old folk song,
and the father rises. 1t is the signal
for good-nights. The ashes are spread
over the fire, and by the light of few
fishes tails, dried for the lighting, the
family goes to bed, forgetful of crash.

TIRE FhASKLIs FUND.
The Growth of the Sum In Ono Hundred
Years.


Ysars.
Louisville Courier-JournaL
In 1870 BENJAMIN Franklin left by
will to the town of Boston the sum of
e5, 900, to be laid aside for century's
accumulation, the sum 80 resulting to
be managed by the selectmen Of the
town of Boston and the ministers of
the Oldest Episcopal, Congregational
and Presby terian churches. 1t has not
yet been finally decided what shall be
done with this money. 1t will be
noted that the bequest was to the
"town of Boston," because Boston was
not then city. 1t was governed like
other New England towns, by select
men, and not by mayor and council.
The city of Boston Is not governed by
seleetmen, but the Supreme Court of
Massachusetts has decided that the
city of Boston is the legal successor of
Boston town. But the precise power
of the managers in saying what dis
position shall be made Of the fund
appears to be still involved in a shade
of doubt,
The managers of the fund, however,
reported to the Board of Aldermen a
few evenings ago in favor Of erecting
ON the old site of the Franklin school,
house municipal edifice, to be known
as the Franklin Peoples Institute, at
cost of about s165, 600. They also
recommended the erection of public
baths and gymnaslums and some other
edihces TIE approval of the report
was postponed. f..4
The possibilities of century, growth
of q comparatively small fund is well
shown in the case Of this Franklin be-
quest The 5000 Of 1790 has now
grown, with it's interest accumulations,
to more than 1886, 900. This makes a
splendid contribution to the city which
has succeeded the town of Boston; but
it is singular that the people are by no
means agreed what should be done
with it. Yet, after the lapse of 100
years, such is the case. There are
many who approve accepting the recon-
mendation of the managers but
whether this IS because it fully meets
their appreciation, or whether they are
simply anxious that some solution of
the question bo found, is not altogether
clear. There is naturally some i'm
patience at the long delay in making
the bequest efficient in some way. The
plan OF making small bequest by
adding to it the accommodations of 100
years was completely successful in this
case, though some other similar at
tempts have proved failures. There is
now some prospect that the fund will
soon be utilized, though it is impossible
to say what obstacles may yet intervene.

Sidewalks IN the City to be Kept Cloar In
Winter, ms Well as summer.
The Directors Of the Street and Sewer
Department held an unusually interest
ing mae:;ng Tuesday. One of the
most important acts was the passage of
q resolution amending the law concern
ing the removal Of ice and snow from
sidewalks, passed in 1865. 1t requires
the tenant, owner or agent, whether
for renting or selling, to remove from
the sidewalks in front OF their proper
ties all ice formed from drainage or
other overflow from the proper ties ;
also, to move snow to the widths Of
seven fest within 10 hours after it falls.
Failure to comply is to be punishable
by fine CT from 50 to $40. The reso-
luton Becomes effective 10 days hence.
Street Commissioner Pierson reported
that a large number CT poles for wires
in the city are unmarked, and on motion
of President Simmons, Secretary Wiley
was instructed to give all of the conn
panies owning such poles five days in
which to mark them.
On motion of Nh. Carter, the exist
irg resolution designating French street
between Second and Third az the place
for drays to stand was abolished, and
as nothing was enacted in its place,
there is no law in effect governing the
matter. 1t will probably fall upon the
Police Department to regulate the
matter.
When the resolution prohibiting
sliding and shedding Oh the sidewalks
came up for passage, final action was
motion of President Simmons, who in
ats taI ~ N, ~ OF.
to permit sliding in tho cutters and
streets. ,
The matter of increasing the number
of arc lights was discussed, but 70
action was taken. MIR. Simmons said
it would be necessary to make some
improvements in other directions next
summer and it would be advisable 10
ascertain what such Improvements
would cost, in order to know how
much money could be utilized in inn
proving lighting facilities. The Police
Department submitted list OF loca-
tions suggested for arc lights, which
was fled. A communication was re-
oaived from the Water Witch Fire CO.,
asking for an arc light at Gilpin avenue
and du Pont street.
William B. Eldridge was authorized
to grade the sidewalk on the west side
of Washington street between Concord
avenue and Twenty third street, at q
cost of 10 cents per cubic yard.
A communication was received from
Superintendent Barnard Of tho p, W.
& b. Railroad Co., lessee of Third
street wharf, stating that sign had
been erected at the wharf prohibiting
all boats from landing there. :.
Plumbers and drainlayers' licenses
for the year 1900 were granted tc Harry
A. Miller, William II. Heine, the Cav
throp & Bro. Co., A. L. Sharpe, the
Briscn Plumbing and Heating Co., and
