ed that large exports of gold would be
made by Saturdays steamer, but the adj
ditional shipment by to-morrow's steamer
bringing the total up TO $26O0.0OO, was a
surprise. This shipment is generally be-
lieved to represent triangular operation;
that is to say, on London's order to
meet demand on that center. Among

assume, therefore, that some concession
has been offered to make r margin OF
profit on the transactions; but in any
event the metal is recognized as being

1t is evident that the need Of money
here In active trade has MOI kept pace
with the currency expansion. The low
rate of money. coupled with the large
loans of New York banks and their small
surplus reflect the eagerness Of capital
to place credits but the demand for
credits Is not sufficient to absorb the sup
ply, so capitalists must look abroad,
where interest rates rule higher. For
some time the merchandise credits re-
sulting from our foreign trade balance
have been left at interest abroad. This
country's large gold production and the
present cutting off of the Transvaal gold
supply also made us the source of supply
for the money metal The net result il
that we are not only refraining from call
ing home merchandise credits. but are
shipping out the money metal to meet
the needs of foreign markets.

RAMPART WHIRLPOOL


Mrs. Clara E. Wright, formerly Of
Sam francisco, is the only woman ed
itor ant, publisher in the Klondike re-
gion. Her paper, the Rampant City
Whirlpool, was established last jan
uary as a monthly publication Of 10
pages. It has already doubled in size,
and has q bigger circulation at one
dollar per copy than the entire popu-
lation of the town, SO many papers
are sent home by the miners. .
Mrs. Wright doesn't get her fingers
black mussing round with inky type;
no, indeed! She builds her paper with
two very feminine tools, the type
writer and the sewing machine, with
the sole help of her ten-year-old
daughter Doris. s.
For some years Mrs. Wright, who is
widow, had supported her little girl
and herself by stenographic work in
San Francisco. With her sewing ma
chine she made at home all the gar
mcnts of both.
But she, could earn no more than
a bare living. Typewriters' wages
are low. and there was the little girl

HE WASN'T SUPERSTITIoUS.
And Yet He Was Bound He Wouldn't
Travel Without His Lucky
Coin.

Just as he was starting on short business
journey his wife called him aside. "Wil.
liam" she said, earnestly, "don't think of
going to-day. Put it off till tomorrow or
next week. Something awful will happen
# you disregard my advice, and know it it. :"
"What's the matter with you? Been hav-
ing dreams or consulting one of these sec-

Friday, and it is simply inviting trouble to
make start on Friday" "Oh, pshaw!
Will you, never get over such foolishness? I?
What's the day got to do with it? Honest,

to all such things we'd starve, for I'd have
no time to do business. Put all of them out

good luck on Friday as on any other day,
and the only serious accident ever had was
on Monday: I can't disarrange all my plans
just to humor whim. I'll come back as
safe and sound as I leave. Good-by." He
went, and she sat in the bay window look
ing just as disconsolate as though her worst
fears had been realized. At the end of 20
minutes she saw her husband hurrying
toward the house.. carrying his hat in his
hand and mopping his forehead. She ran to
the door, pale with apprehension. "What is
it., William? Tell me, quick. I can bear
anything as long as you are all right !"

MAKING COPY IN THE KLOND1KE.
growing up to need some day an edu.
cation, and mother love would gladly
put upon her beautiful clothing, would
lavish toll to save little Doris such q
life of hardships as her mothers.
So in June last year, without her
daughter, Mrs. Wright went to Daw-
son, and thence pushed on to Rampant
City. At first she was gold seeker
like the rest, but met little success.
It was in January, when mining was
stopped by the cold, that she conceived
the idea of issuing paper. There
was no white paper in town, so the
first numbers of the Whirlpool were
typewriter on reddish brown wrap
ping paper and stitched together on
the sewing machine. Now all those
early difficulties are passed. The pa
per is printed on durable manila, and
little Doris is there to help work off
the increased edition.
Mrs. Wright intends to stick by
Rampant City until she has made her
pile. Of course she has some mining
interests which may pan out we'll.
The Whirlpool is brightly written.
Here are some local items:

Oilcloth for Kitchen Walls.

Table oilcloth may be applied to walls
and ceilings as readily as wall paper by
means of inoleum cement. Or oilcloth
may be hung as wall paper by first siz-
ing the walls with glue, then adding a
little glue to the ordinary paper paste.
In out of the way places, where plas-
terer's services are not easily COM
manded, one may make dining-room,
kitchen or other board sheathing walls
"acceptable'' to the eye by covering
with table oilcloth in tile or other pref
ty patterns, using tacks to put it on,
and covering the seams with molding
or plain laths, which can be painted to
harmonize agreeably. No onecan ques-
ton the hygienic value of oilcloth over
paper as a wall covering for kitchens,
pantries, bathrooms, back halls and
stairways, etc.

About Continuous Milking.

A writer in the Jersey Bulletin says
he or she has but one COW in herd
Of 20 that has ever gone dry more
than month at time before calving.
That cow was brought into the herd
and was dry three months before she
dropped another calf. With her next
calf she went dry about six weeks and
does so now. Most of the herd have
never been dry at all since they had
the first calf. Although the milk is
not used in the dairy for a month be-
fore they calve, they are MIXED regu-
larly, and no difference can be seen
between the well-fed COW that does
not go dry at all and other cows that
go dry one or two months, so far as
health, vigor or lasting qualities 90.
It is largely a matter of habit, and If
q .heifer is allowed to go dry after her
first calf she6i more apt to 20 dry
2 little longer the next time.

TUBERCULOSIS GERMS.
The Only Way to Destroy Them Is by
the Thorough PasteurizatiOn of
Milk and Cream.

The subject of tuberculosis is one
which interests the entire world. AL
though dollars innumerable and great
study have been devoted to securing
some method of successfully combat
ing this disease, and although the
world is startled now and again with
the announcement that a great discov-
cry has been made along these lines,
yet only palliative measures have thus
far been found effective in any degree.
It is known that milk from COWS
whose udders are affected by tubercu-
lOsis is liable to cause transmission of
the disease to persons, especially to
young children, the bacillus producing
this disease in cattle and consumption
among people being identical. It is
now interesting and important to know
that foreign Investigations have DEM
onstrated that tuberculosis germs are
often found in butter and that they
will there live for considerable period
of time. The only way, it is stated,
to feel sure of the butter and milk you
are consuming is to know that the milk
and the cream from which the butter is
made is pasteurized and the germs
killed. 1t is not now generally believed
that consumption or tuberculosis can
be directly inherited-it is acquired by
the offspring rather from close contact
with the mother. At the Wisconsin sta
ton some of the best animals were
found to be diseased. They were sep
arated from the others and calves bred
from them; but the offsprings were i'm
mediately removed from the mothers
and fed on the milk of other cattle.
They have proved perfectly healthy.
The milk of diseased cattle has also
been successfully used for feeding pur-
poses after having been thoroughly
pasteurized.-Fa Review.
