HIGH LIVING.
From This Account One Needs Ball. loon to Reach Prices in q
 Dawson Cafe.

''You might suppose" said man who
 was in the Klondike last summer, that
 with the improved facilities of travel
 and freight transportation to the Klon-
 dike country prices of commodities
 there would become just little more
 nearly normal, but have in my posses
 sion a bill of fare 1 got at Healy's ho-
 tel and cafe in Dawson in September
 last. and here are some of the prices
 that one must pay for eatables. The
 hotel is wooden structure, chiefly
 logs, and the conveniences are not al-
 together modern, and a good many of them are lacking, but the rate per day is SIP. If one eats at the cafe
 la carte here's what he pays: Sirloin steak and onions, S3O0; porterhouse- plain, $3.50; with mushrooms, $4.GO;
 tenderloin-p.ain, $2.5O; with mush- rooms, $3.50; Chateau Briant Spelled that way), S4.0O; with onions, $3.5O; Hamburg steak, S1.50; English mutton chop (one), $2.OO; (two), s3.75; bread ed, $2.75; corn beef hash, $1.5O; lamb, chops, plain, $2.5O; pork chops, sauce piIudlils SO'~O, llNSI duu DaCCu, Sl.IJ, plain, $1.50; ham and eggs, S2.5O; ba. con and eggs, $2.50; fried tripe, S1.5O; pigs feet, $1.50; fried in butter, S2.C0; kidney, fried, boiled, or saute, S1.50; with mushrooms, S1.75; fried eggs (two), $2.Go; scrambled, poached or on toast, S2.00; with oysters, $2.5O; plain omelet, $2.C0; ham, oyster, jelly omelet, or with onions, S2.50; Span ish or rum omelet, $500; souffie, $3.50; Welsh rabbit, s25O; golden buck, $3cc: and so on, with pie at a dollar slice and pudding dollar a smell, and cigars 50 cents for the cheapest, and cham. pagne SIS a pint, and beer a dollar split, and all drinks 50 cents each. As said. it does seem that at this late date living would become little cheap. CT, but people who have anything te sell want the earth for it, and the hap. less consumer must pay the price CT gc without. The only consolation is that it will be as bad or worse at Cape Nome this summer, though that will prob ably tumble quicker because it is sc much more accessible than the Klon- dike."

PROFIT IN PEACHES.
Delaware Has No Monopoly of the
 Ildustry.
Money Made on a Small Maryland Fruit Farm In Fourteen Years How Railroads Have
 Helped.

It may be interesting to run over 8 short paper in the American Monthly Review of Reviews in which Worth B. Stottlemyer presents "Ihe Balance sheet of a Small Maryland Peach Farm" Peach growing, he says. is one of the most profitable agricultural industries in that state, so much so that half of the farms in many of the counties have abandoned wheat and corn and the ordinary agricultural products, except for home eonsump- tion, and have taken to growing peaches.
 The quality of the soil" he says, hardly enters into consideration in respect to location. as peach trees are adapted to almost any kind of soil, but poor soil is to be preferred. Trees planted in a poor soil do not grow so rapidly. are therefore much more hardy and will endure severer winters than trees planted in richer soil. In order that a surer crop may be expected, the land should slope gently to the northwest. Land so sit uated is exposed to the most rigorous western winds, and the sun has less effect upon the trees in the way of driving forth the incipient buds, which are thus kept in check. Con sequently they are less likely to be frozen while in che incipient state by spring frosts."
 Mir. Stottlemyer says that many of the prevalent diseases of the trees are due 60 careless nurserymen. His farm Ot 30 acres was purchased in 1885 fer

cRANKS ON LIFE SAVING.
FecUhar Device Exhibited to OnacisIs as Washington by One ot the
 Fraternity.

There are cranks of every descrip tion, and many of them come here tc show us their inventions" recently re- marked the general superintenuent of me ife-serving service. which, fl adopted. they insist. will put the life serving service of the United States on basis of efficiency unequaIed by any other in the world"
 Recently a man from New Jersey callen on General Superintendent f hlmball, and asked permission to don his newly invented life-savine jacket. for the purpose Of demon strating its many good features. The permission was granted. and the visitor proceeded 10 put on the jacket. which he claimed was the only salvation of all shipwrecked peo- pie. says the Washington Times.
 In the numerous pockets of the gar ment he had slowed away a whisky flask. box containing meat tablets. 9 candle and matches. a pipe and to- hacco, revolver and number of cart ridges. To protect himself against sharks and other dangerous inhabit ants of the waters, as he said. he gird- ed on himself long. razor-edged ma- chete. He then inflated the air reser- volrs concealed between the outer and inner cover of the jacket. which caused him to assume the appearance Of huge rubber ball. After he had fin lshed these preparations he tied his large red handkerchief to a bamboo fishing rod as signal of distress. and. turning to General Kimball, said in a self-satisied manner:
 Now. general. gamble I could live and float in the ocean this way over a week and feel perfectly comfortable"

INFANTRY IN BATTLE.
It As the Sudden LOsSes That Destroy the Morale of Troops fin
 Action.

Tn battle it is not the number of men who are disabled in the course of a days fight that tell upon the morale of troops. but it is tLe losses which may be incurred within a comparatively short time that tend to demoralize and unnerve them. For example, says the International Monthly, a corps of 2G!nG0 men may lose in days fight 10.00C-one-baf it's number-without being demoralized. but should they lose One-fifth of their number - say from 5000 to 4.OOO men-in the course of half an hour. their morale would surely be destroyed.
 The Pritish military operations. es- pecially their battle tactics. have been freely and even virulentIy criticised by the military experts of other Euro pean natiOns-especially the Germans. It is not. however. at all assured that they would not have suffered at first from the indulgence in the same faulty shock" tactics by delivering frontal at- tacks on intrenched troops.

1 S70 an acre, and was planted in peach trees at once. The trees cost him S35 thousand The total outlay, includ- ing planting, machinery and incident als, was s2.469.S9.
 For four years the orchard was cul- tivated thoroughly, while only slight crops were realized the third and fourth years" he says, however, from careful account made during the time. we found that the cost of cultivation was a little more than covered by the receipts from vege- tables that were raised on the land in the meantime The fifth year we realized fairly good crop. and dur ing fl years we secured six crops from the orchard.
 By careful records kept, we find that the average amount of fruit grown upon each tree for the six crops was S-9 crates, or little over 2Ha bushels. Thus, upon an average, each of the trees produced 15 bush els during its lifetime. In fact, the orchard produced 44,364 bushels of
 
 44.364 bushels we realized a net gain, over picking, crating, shipping. com mission, expenses, etc.. of $46, 6,361.07. The net profit per bushel would be over dollar"
 Against the net returns from peach sales of S46 6,361.07 MT. Stottlemyer put in his balance sheet the cost of the nf hn of 1Io cultivation, fertilizers, machinery. in-- cidentals, taxes and interest, which. makes a total of $7.399.69. This shows the profits to be $3S,961.3s. The pre- mature deaths of orchards from the ''yellows" MT. Stottlemyer says are generally attributable to the negli- gence of growers. Other growers realized larger returns than those from his orchard. he says. and he adds that the end is not yet when one candidly reflects upon the remarkable increase in the consumption of the fruit. almost to be regarded as a staple. and when i've see peach trees planted by the hundred acres, or chards extending for miles. hundreds of hands busy plucking the luscious fruit and crating it for market, all on single farm, and whole train loads hauled from single district; when growers order their own cars for daily transportation; when peach-grower can send his wife to bank with $3,5OO in check returns for a single day. who has netted s65,OOO from single crop"
 The industry of which MT. Stottle- myer draws so brilliant a picture he says has only been possible since transportation has been facilitated by 8 network of railroads.

A MISTLETOE RANCH.
Novel Enterprise of Two Georgia
 Young Women.
Holiday Evergreeas Raised sn . Large Scale for City Markets The Work and Its
 Results.

II think we have about the first and only holly and mistletoe farm in the country. or in the world. for th.. matter. The speaker. says the New
 York Sun. was Miss Lucy Carteledse. the elder of two Georgia young wom- en Who three years ago began 10 raise holly and mistletoe for market. "It all started from my going to New York to study art. My mother. who is my only living parent. by many sacri- tices finally saved enough money for me to make the venture. did not achieve much in the way of art. but. learned what a big world of smart people this is and how much l had to improve before there was any chance of setting 1t afre with my brilliancy. Once convinced that had little or TO artistic ability. set about to find some way to earn living. The high price paid for holly and mistle- toe in New York city was one os many revelations. and on inquiry found that the prettiest pieces were brought over from England This gave me an idea. and wrote home about it to my sister, who is 8 very practical person.
 She began at once to go over our 500 acres and cleared away the under brush around every holly tree and holly bush. In some instances with those around the house she had gone so far as to trim away ali the dead limbs and have the earth about the roots enriched and spaded up. For the preservation of the mistIetoe she cut off the muscadine and iessaminc vines climbing over every tree where there was sprig of it growing. She also declared her intention of 1 trying to plant the seeds in the hoI- :: lows and forks of old oaks. where she ! saw chance of their taking root and growing. i
 During the next summer we had little to do besides sit and wait for what the autumn would bring forth,
