THREE LIVELY CAMPS

Attorney Dav Is in receipt of a letter written bv Walter Church at Nome Nn Nov. 2I, and brought out bv Carl Van Knoblesdou, who arrived here Saturday evening. Mr. Church writes long letter from which Attorney Day permits the fol- lowing quotations:
 After being here nearly month, ] am more pleased with this place than ever. The chances to make money will be here, York or at Bonanza. These three places will be good.
 "We have already some good claims for our crowd in Bonanza district, which we engaged a prospeetor to locate. We have other prospeetors out who will doubtless locate other claims.

There is an explicit law against any one shooting those useful scavengers of the sea and shore, the gull and the raven. A number ot boys have recent ly had fine sport" shooting at the gulls and ravens iu the bay, with the result that there arc many of these birds sadly crippled and doomed to a painful end. But boys will have their fun, until some fine day philanthro- pie citizen who desires enough for a Nome stake, will strike the happy idea of putting this law into execution, Then the boys parents will be surprised at the value Of dead crow in fines and costs.

BOSTON N0MAN'S
EASTER CHARITY
Tho Well Known Mrs. Jack :" Card
ncr Displays Her House for the
Benefit OF, the Poor.

BOSTON, April 51o..-IfAa majority Of the
wealthy women would follow tns eAa;iihe
of that much-discussed woman, MIS- JONI
L. Gardner, or as she is faml!aclyr known,
Mrs. Jack" Gardner, then all the world
of poverty-stricken women and children
would be the better For sweet ci;arisy's
sake Mrs. Gardner has placed her nome
on exhibition to the Boston public.
Eccentric beyond a sdouot, brilliant with
ont a parallel, hish-bred to The bone, lady
like, educated, accomplished and rich,
Mrs Jack Gardner has been for Two de-
cades the 1nost-discussed woman in BoS-
ton and one of THE curfosIties Of both con
tinents Even in her own city, people
are ever on the alert to hear the latest
tidirgs of her, and lin London and Par1si
size is watched and awaited with an in
terest not always. accorded to American
millions.
Boston, while proud of her, loved to be
shocked at her doings i was Whisper
ed that she led lion. cub through the
street one. day; that she scrubbed the steps
of the church during Lent fer penance;
that she shook hands with a no table prize
fighter and told him that she admired
him, and that She adopted" musician attei
musician until educated.
Mr.. Gardner was wholly in sympathy
with his wife and boosted of her deeds,
More than a year ago Mr.. Gardner died:
and as one Of the richest widows of the
Hub, Mrs Gardner lived on in her Bea-
con Street home, retired from the world
but ever busy last fall she went to
Europe; and when she came back it WAS
Whispered that she had purchased an old
italian palace (which was TO be brought
across the water and set up IN Boston.
1t wc,a certain that Mrs. Jack had been
studying Italian art and making herself
still more the mistress of the world and
its accomplishments.
The movement which has lately startled
all Boston was the opening of her home
for the benefit OF the Industrial School for
Crippled and Defor1ned Children. It was
nnocently announced that Mrs. John L.
Gardner had consented to throw open her
house for the purpose of exhibiting her
art treasures to the public. An admission
fee of 81 was charged for the morning and
s. In the afternoon. In jiffy Boston
realized that at last it was to have a
chance to view the wonderful tapestries
which the Gardeners had been collecting
for years: that.it would see its treasures
of ceramic art: that its magnificent paint
ings would be onsNiew-apd maybe Mrs.
Jack herself. OF course the tickets sold
out at once and a soodly sum was netted
. for the industrial School.

RAILWAY STOPPED BY LIONS.
Two savage Beasts Ate Twenty-Eight
Men and Delayed COnstruc-
ton for Months.

Speaking in the house of lords of the
prOgres~ of the Uganda railway, Lord
Salisbury mentioned that among the
unexpected difficulties encountered
were a pair of man-eating lions, which
stopped the works for three weeks be-
fore they were shot, says the London
Spectator. As some 5000 men were al
work on the line, their intimidation by
two lions seems almost incredible. YET
il is a fact that so dreadful was the
pressure exercised by the constant at
tacks of this pair of Misunderstanding
wild beasts, and so cumulative the fear
caused among the Indian laborers by
the sight and sound of their comrades
being carried off and devoured, that
hundreds Of these industrious work
men, trained on similar duties under
the service of the government of India
abandoned their employment and pay,
and, crying out that they agreed to
work for wages, not TO be food for lions
or devils, rushed to the line as the
trains for the coast were approaching
and, flinging themselves across the
metals, gave the engine drivers the
choice either of passing. over their
bodies or of stopping to take them up
and carry them back to Mombasa.
Many of these were not timid Hin
docs, but sturdy Sikhs. Yet the cir
cumstances were so unique, and the
scenes witnessed from week to week
so bloody and appalling, that their
panic and desperation are no matter
for surprise. Lord Salisbury under
stated the facts.
Though the works were stopped Cor
three weeks, the lions campaign last
ed, with intervals of quiet when one
or the other had been wounded, from
March till the end of December. In
this time they had killed and ate 2s
Indians, and it is believed at least twice
this number of natives. Swahilis and
the like, besides wounding and attack
ing others. They attacked white engi-
neers, doctors, soldiers and military Of
ficers, Abyssinian askaris, sepoys, bun
niahs, coolies and porters. Some they
clawed, some they devoured, some they
carried off and left sticking in thorn
fences because they could not drag
them through. At first they were con-
tented to take one man between them.
Before the end of their career they
would take a man apiece on the same
night. sometimes from the same nut or
campfire. The plain, unvarnished tale
of this prehistoric revival of the po-
sition originally held by man in the
struggle for existence against ravenous
beasts is set out at considerable length
and detail in the Field of February II
and February "a by Mr.. J. H. Patterson.
one of the engineers of the line, who
after months of effort and personal
risk, succeeded in breaking the spell
and killing both the lions, which the
natives had come 10 regard as devils; F"

TEACHING A CHILD NUMBERS.
to Count Unfortunately
, When Learning.

1t is unwise to teach the child TO run
over the names of numbers without
associating the names with any mean
ing. HE can count to five-to ten"
boasts some thoughtless parent, when
the baby tongue has repeated the
string of one, two, three, etc. And but
little more useful is the plan now fol-
lowed of having baby count objects,
such as spools or pennies. All this,
says Florence Hull Winterburn, III
WOman's Home Companion, lis artifi-
cial training, sure TO disappoint our
expectations in the end. For some day
when baby is displaying his little ac-
complishment he makes sad blunders.
He puts five before two; leaves out four
altogether; and when questioned
thinks three is more than six, and
shows utter ignorance of any power
of genuine counting. This is not at
all surprising. The words one, two and
so on mean absolutely nothing TO him
until there has grown up in his mind
the sense of quantity. When he re-
allies the distinction between a little
of thing and more of it, between a
few objects and many of the same kind,
he is beginning to grasp the great gen
eralizatiOn implied in the power of
measurement. He must get an indef-
mite sense of the difference between
large masses and small masses, many
objects and small objects. before he
can at all comprehend that there are
definite degrees of value. Intelligent
children take pleasure in comparing
one thing with another. They love
10 measure and to weigh articles IN
miniature scales; they continually
note differences between objects, and
although their distinctions are always
crude and sometimes absurd. they oc-
casionally show surprising sharpness
in finding out contrasts.
The faculty of discerning differences
is closely allied TO what is called math
ematieal faculty. Yet how many
parents will applaud the child who
shows readiness to repeat numbers.
and frowns down the nonsense" of GU
riosity as to relative weights and sizes,
or the child who insists on details!

THE FREIGHT BUSINESS.
1t Is Not "A Haphazard Thing rs Many
of the Uninttlated
Suppose.

Most people have an idea that freight
is the last tiring that railroads look
after Many profess to believe that u
piece of freight once started on It's
journey is allowed TO loaf along at it's
own sweet viii and pleasure, stopping
where it wishes and staying as long as
it likes, and only bringing up at its
destination when there is nowhere else
TO go, says the Lewiston Journal.
When you have waited day after day
for that piano which was shipped =
month ago, you are ready to adopt that
opinion. But don't be in hurry. When
that piano box shows up in Poughkeep-
sic at the time it should be in Port
land, the Poughkeepsie agent does not
uncase the Instrument and give Sc
ries of box car recitals for the next two
months. You may think he does, but
he doesn't. Not bit of it! There is
no welcome anywhere for the Wander
ing Willies of freightdom. No agent
wishes TO be caught with missing
freight piled up in his yard or house
The truth of the matter is, the rail-
roads are constantly punching laggard
freight in the ribs and admonishing it
to move on.
1t is an interesting study to see how
the railroads handle their immense
freight business. To the outsiders a
freight Office seems like confusion
worse COMPOUNDED, but TO the men who
have been trained to the work it is all
as simple as a problem in short di-
vision. No matter how far from home
car is, it is always in touch with the
home Office. IL the car has had bad
luck and one of its trucks is sprained.
the home Office knows about it and
sends an order TO have ii placed IN the
searest car hospital and doctored up
IL - king condition. The office knows
iust what the Dos. e ca:SiC.g and if il
thinks its travelling expenses are get
ting too big it shifts its route or calls
1t home. 1t is only once in awhile that
q car gets away from the home office
altogether, and when one does there
is no sleep for anyone till the runaway
is found and started in the right direc-
ton.
After you have listened TO a freight
agents description of the elaborate
plans taken to look after freight you
will marvel that single package ever
goes astray.
But-the man who is waiting for
that piano knows that il does.
