The Nome Gold Fields.

The first map folder or circular re-
specting the Klondike gold strike Of 1858
was issued by the Northern Pacific Rail-
way. 1t is more than a coincidence that
the first map folder or pamphlet of the
Nome Mining district comes from the
same source. The present folder not
only contains a good map of the Nome
district but is embellished with several
cuts of views at Nome City and on. the
beach where the method OF mining is
clearly shown. All information obtain
able regarding sailing dates from Seattle
and Tacoma, through rates, etc, is given
in this book and the public cautioned to
go to the agents of the N. P. Ry., who
are supplied with diagrams of the Alaska
steamers, and arrange at once for their
Accommodations rather than to put off this
very important business until they reach
Puget Sound. There is no doubt but
what there will be a very considerable
passenger business from the middle and
eastern states and a very heavy business
from the Pacific Coast states to the
Nome district next spring

Warned by Those About to Die.

Camille Flamnarion. in a French Pc
riodical. asked people to answer the
following question: Have you ever had
while awake the impression of having
seen a human being al had that I'M
preston coincide with tile time Of the
death of that persona" The astrono-
mer tells the result Of his investigation
in the Nouvelle Revue.
He had 1880 responses, Of which
2.45G were negative and 1874 a(irma-
tive. or the affirmative replies he cX-
amined 1872. who recited 1.12O cases. all
of which lie regards as authentic: In
his article Nj. Flammarion merely gives
the experience of the subjects as re-
lated to him and does not attempt to
account for the ~prenonitions.
1t might bc said. however, that the
fact that 40 per cent of those who
wrote to him had had telepathic ex-
| periences does not indicate such an
average among the human family. The
three periodicals whose readers he ask
ed for information have a large circu-
lation. and it is safe to say that every
reader who has had premonitions of
the death of a friend wrote to Flam-
m:i.ion. while the others would not re.
gard it as worth while.

Fixing his attention steadfastly on

Take Care of Your Ears.

Men and women have much to do to
keep straight. A hundred nerves and
muscles are ut work all through the
waking hours, giving warning or re-
ceiving orders that the body, with it's
many joints and natural instability,
shall preserve its equilibrium, shall not
stagger or double up in a hopeless
heap. These nerves and muscles are a
highly organized signal service, the
chief Offices Of which are in the SEMI
circular canals buried in the "stony"
homework that protects the inner ear.
Were it not for these canals a human
being would find it difficult, often i'm
possible, to maintain a proper balance
either while walking or standing still.
So long as these canals are in healthy
working order their reports are trust
worthy, but when any undue force has
shocked them or any agency, such as
sickness, has interfered with their
workings their messages are incoher-
ent, and the brain, like the engineer Of
a battleship in action, when the men
above are blinded and bewildered, has
nothing to do but let things go.-Ber-
lin (Md.) Herald.

"The most dangerous foes we have

Warmth of Birds, Blood.

The blood of birds offers some data
for thought not found in the blood of
any other class of animals. The blood
c%orpuscles are shaped differently, be-
ing oval instead of round. But this is
not the difference to which refer.
Birds blood Is several degrees warmer
than that Of other anim"ls. To man
such a temperature of the blood as
birds possess would be a fever. This
high temperature causes molecular
changes in the tissues and brain to take
place more rapidly, which would cause
the consumption Of more food. and
brain activity would be more intense.
so that for the same amount Of work a
smaller brain would meet all the re-
quirements. which Mt a lower tempera.
ture would require one of greater size.

had failed. but. taking hold Of his fat
cheek between his thumb and forefin-

The Farm Beat the Mortgage.

The following story illustrates the
resources of a Nebraska farm: A
farmer got discouraged because he
didn't get rich the first year and, as
there was a mortgage Of $500 on his
farm, was about ready to jump the
whole business, but determined to
make n more effort and sowed 80
acres in wheat. 1t happened to be q
poor year for wheat and the stand
was not very good. Concluding that it
wasn't worth harvesting he pulled up
his stakes and moseyed back to Mis-
souri,, leaving the farm to fight the
mortgage all by itself. The farm was
| equal to the occasion.
The wheat ripened, fell down and de-
posted the seed in the soil again. Next
spring the wheat began to grow Justify.
Some of the neighbors were honest
enough to write about it down to the
fugitive in Missouri, and he got inter-
ested enough to come back and take a
look. Then he stopped and harvested
his voluntary crop. He sold it for
enough to pay off the mortgage and the
rest of his debts and had a tidy little
surplus over, with which he moved his
family back and now declares there is
no state like Nebraska.-Lincoln Neb.)
