Agriculture In The Yukon.

Vice-Counsel Morrison, of Dawson City, sends, under date of October 16, 1899, a report on the results of agricul- tural experiments, written by resi- dent of that city, which reads, in part, as follows:
 , "Grain has done exceptionally well being we'll filled, and I see no reason why it should not be extensively and successfully grown here. As far as my observations go, the climate here is as suitable for raising winter wheat as in any place in the Northwestern or the Northern States of America. From my experience of the last two years, l see no reason why this country should not be able to produce its own vegetables and grain.
 "As for flowers, the success l have had proves that all hardy annuals will do we'll. The coming year intend planting several hundred hybrid roses; also summer towering bulbs,a large va riety of other hardy and half hardy an- nuals, and some of the hardy peren- nials. Small fruit, such as strawberries entrants, blackberries, and raspberries should do well. Currants, raspberries, cranberries, strawberries, and blueber- ries grow wild ere."-Scientific Ameri- can.

A Sudden Death.

James Conaty, one of the miners at the Ibex mine at Sheep Creek, died February 18th, after an illness of only a few hours. Itwas impossible to reach him with medical aid because of the heavy fall of snow on the mountain side where the mine is located. The man who came down for a doctor was unable to return. Nothing is known of Conaty's relatives. It is supposed, however, that they are in the neighbor- hood of Butte, Mont.

Archery For Women,

So archery * tn Ice revived, Well. 1t
is the most charming as we'll as the
most feminine" sport for women, and
one is glad to hear il. Wrote George
Eliot in that beguiling chapter, The
Spoiled Child" I'm Daniel Deronda.'
ing: Who can deny that bows and ar
rows are among the prettiest weapons
In the world for feminine forms to play
with: Archery has no ugly
smell of birthstone, breaks nobody's
shins. breeds no athletic monsters. Its
only danger Is that of failing, which
for generous blood is enough to mold
skillful action
The game. too, gives woman a
chance of dressing herself so becom-
ingly and for showing off all her
graces. George Eliot's heroine, Gwen
dolen Harleth. attired herself in white
cashmere. with border of pale green,
which set of her form to the utmost"
Cashmere is The mode again today, and
who could have fresher, daintier
frock than that? Our grandmother be-
longed to archery clubs and wore gold
and silver buttons engraved with the
sign of her especial club upon her coat.
So let the grandmother treasure box

A Winter Part.

The style of parting the hair on the
side will be very popular this winter.
1t was introduced this time by Mrs.
James Brown Potter. to whom it gives
a youthful appearance. With it is worn
either the high or low couture. The
low couture is becoming to a youthful
face. but there is nothing that gives a
middle aged woman more unlovely
appearance than the side part and the
coil of hair in the neck. 1t seems to
me that this new style is ugly and I'M
feminine and that it takes away the
sweetness of a face of ordinary beau
ty. OF course the woman who is beau
tiful can try all sorts of novelties and
still look well. but it is foolish for most
persons TO experiment with novelties
in the way of hairdressing. For even
ings the aiSret has supplanted the bow.
Don't decorate your head too much.
Study your type and use your common
sense. Remember that there should be
a certain appropriateness about the
style of the couture. Elaborate modes
are absurd and out of place with the
shirt waist and short skirt There
may be some good reason for using a
lot of combs in your hair, but the imi-
tatiOn shell pins. combs and brooches
now in vogue make the hair a sort of
cushion for the display of stuff that
looks little like tortoise shell.

A Market For Embroidery.

To open Il market for the sale of
handiwork of the impoverished gentle
women of the south is the latest plan
of prominent New York clubwomen.
The interesting story back of this per-
manent enterprise is to the effect that
several months ago it was decided to
hold Il bazaar more to display to the
metropolitan women the excellent char
actcr of the embroideries and laces
made by their sisters in this section OF
the country. With many of these ex-
quisite articles made by delicate fin
gers came pathetic appeals that they
be sold to reimburse the purses of their
owners. These little pecuniary prayers
from no less than II states resulted in
the formation of an organization of the
women of the north whereby the wom-
en- of the south may find Il new field as
wage carncrS. Hereafter these artistic
exhibits will occur annually.-Bertha
Damaris Knobe in Woman's Home
Companion.

woman.- Building Mt Buffalo.

Work is now we'll under way, says a
Buffalo paper. on the Woman's building
at the southeastern corner of the Pan
American exposition grounds. This is
to be the rest building and rendezvous
of the board of women managers of
the exposition and while comparative
ly small in size and out of the way as
to location will be n point of great at
traction to at least the better half of
the visitors next year. At present the
building will be recognized as the old
home of the Country club, near the
Elmwood gate. This came into posses
sion of the exposition with the grounds
on which it stood. the Country club
moving it to its present quarters north
of the park. The exposition managers
will transform this building Mt an ex-
penditure of 5000, SO that its old occu-
pants will not recognize it. Carpenters
are now tearing out the interior of the
rear wing. cutting in extra windows
and preparing for an elaborate extern
sion on the western side. When these
alterations are done. the towers are up
and the whole exterior cOlored to suit
the surroundings. the women manag gers
will have home to be proud of. 49,"

For Long Necks.

Ii is no longer fashionable to have
any trimming ut the back of the col
lar. but women who have long necks
or whose necks are beginning to look
thin find II Il great advantage to tie a
piece of tulle around the neck with a
bow at the back. This gives a pretty
finish to a stiff ribbon stock collar and
is almost invariably becoming. Only
white or black tullc should be used.
For evening the same thing is often
seen Worn even with n jeweled collar
or n handsome necklace and 1t seems
to soften any hard lines in Il most
satisfactory fashion. Boas and ruches
worn around the neck are very soft
but not very full unless intended for
quite cool weather. \ pretty one is
made OF liberty satin or chiffon trim
med with bands of white lace and with
a little plated edge of chiffon. This
fastcns at the throat and has long ends
edged with lace That hang down over
the front of the gown.

Princess Alice, as she is always called.
was the daughter of the great Paris
banker Heine and at the time of her
first marriage to the Due de Richelieu
was one of the wealthiest heiresses i'm
her fathers adopted country. Since
her marriage to the Prince of Monaco
she spends most of her time i'm the
beautiful little principality, but still
frequently pays flying visits to Eng
land, for she has many intimate friends
in London, and as a girl she spent a
large portion of each year at Holland
House.
