Is Alaska Growing warmer,

Prospective visitors and gold seekers
in the Klondile region may extract
some comfort from the discovery. made
by the Hartman Alaska expedition,
that most of the glaciers which abound
In that territory are receding. The
fact is an indication that the average
weather there is growing warmer If
1T were growing colder the glaciers
would be advancing, while if it were
about the same one year with another
they would maintain the same general
position, neither creeping nearer to the
sea nor melting away from their termi-
nal moraines The rate of glacial re-
cession is so slow, however, that fur
overcoats and warm sleeping bags are
likely to remain as a part of the neces-
sary equipment of Alaskan travel for
some years to come.-Leslie's Weekly.

THE JUDGES ADVICE.

Given to a Man Who Wayered Be-
tween Religion and Politics.
A we'll known western representa-
tive in congress- pleading an engage
ment, left small group of takers in
an up town hotel lobby, and an elderly
man, whom he had introduced to the
party, made bold to tell story about
the departed.
81 have known him." he said, "ever
since he was boy, and when he came
out of college he was undecided wheth-
err to become lawyer and politician or
go to a theological seminary and be-
come a clergyman. He was fond Of
politics ant thought that with little
law and more religion on the side he
might become great moral reformer
You know that's the way most all very
young men feel when they undertake
politics for the first time
However, before he had had time to
determine finally what he would do,
his friends came after him to run for
the legislature, as he had the availa-
bility and pretty fair amount of cash.
This brought him face to face with
the question he had been much dis
turbed over, and he went to Judge
Blank, veteran in politics and man
of the highest character, for assistance
in solving the problem. He stated his
case in full to the judge, and the grand
old man put his, hand on the young
mans shoulder.
"'NIy boy he said, as only he could
say it, it can't be politics and religion.
1t must be one or the other. You can't
fit yourself for heaven and for the leg
islature at the same time, and there's
no use trying. That is all l can say,
and you will have to make your own
choice Washington Star.

A KAFFlR SMOKER.
The Native Women Are Enthusiastic
Devotees of the Weed.

DevOtees of the Weed.
In South Africa the native women
smoke necessarily. Your native serv-
ant smokes as she cooks and as she
washes. The tobacco she likes is rank.
The dainty cigarette an English or
Russian lady Of fashion enjoys, smoked
through quill so that no nicotine can
stain either teeth or fingers, would be
sneered at by a Kaff1r. "Give me
pipe and something in it can taste"
is in effect what she says.
The men Kaffirs are beyond tobacco.
They smoke something SO vehement
that it makes them cough and splutter,
lose their breath, choke and sneeze to
an alarming degree. They like snuff,
too, and are fond Of Offering and taking
pinches Of it C''schniff' they call it)
when they meet and visit one another.
Regarding tobacco as too mild for
their taste, the Kafirs take another
weed and smoke that. They proceed
to arrange smoking party by squat
ting on the ground and getting ready
their pipe" COW horn with a thin
tube in 1t inserted half way down at
right angles to. the horn. The end Of
the tube is in basin, and it is from it
that the smoker sucks the strong stuff
that makes him incapable of anything
but a series Of coughs and chokes for
some time after he has had his turn at
the pipe, which is passed round from
man to man until perfect chorus Of
coughs rends the air.
The tobacco the Beers smoke looks
like poor tea and is peculiar in flavor
yet Englishmen who have become used
to it acquire such taste for it that
they never ask for any other kind
