An Erroneous Idea,

An old fashioned idea prevails in
in many families that q very light
supper, such as glass of milk and
slice OF bread, is necessary to pre-
vent nightmare. But later experience
has proven that most growing child
rem require q plentiful repast before
retiring of light. nourishing food.
hunger. at whstever hour, of the
day or night it comes. is the demand
of nature for sustensnce, and should
be gratified.
No sleep is the result of toe
empty stomach in many children. and
for such an ample meal is necessary
at supper time.
We have known restless children,
who we're in the habit of disturbing
the household during the night, re.
stored to quiet and peaceful elumbe,
with q cracker and drink of milk
given them on awakening 10 the
night.
And the rule of "nothing to ea,
between meals" laid down absolutely
for all members Of the household by
some mothers is q mistake wher
applied to the growing school child.
rem who come in from school "aImos,
starved to death" Their hunger
should be satisfied iu spite o.
theories.

'.Iier rouch."

A sailor who met with a serious acct
dent was carried to the London hospi-
tai. The poor mother hurried to the
building to see her son. She was met
by a kind but firm refusal from the
house physician, but nothing daunted
she pleaded for admission to the poor
fellows bedside. Who could resist
mothers entreaties? The safety Of the
patient lay in his being kept absolutely
quiet, but the physician consented to
her admission on condition that she did
not speak word. She stole softly to
his bedside and gazed as only mother
can a. her unconscious boy. She dare
not speak, but a mothers love was not
to be denied all expression, and gently
laying her hand on his fevered brow
she let it rest there moment and then
noiselessly crept from the room.
The watchful nurse heard the coma
tose sleeper murmur the words, "Her
touch" and, rousing himself, he added,
Surely my mother has been. here. I
know her touch"
All, there was an electric thrill of
sympathy in that touch which told it's
own tale to the dying an!--Weekly

placing Il matches upon table and
lifting them all up upon one of the
matches. This is how it is done: Pick
out one match-the one that has the

the other matches about one-fourth
each across the first one, each of the
six being parallel to each other and the

but from the other side, all parallel and

 "lf we go to Dawson for goods we have to pay duty to take them into our camp.

GOOD ANIMAL F()R
 BEN MOORE s USE
He Harnesses Up His Moose
 and Parades It.
IS ONLY A CALF NOW
But When Its Horns Grow Out Ben VIII Have n Splendid Carriage Animal to Take Out His Family Along the Boulevards.

All idle eyes in the business center of the city yesterday afternoon were anus ed by the sight oia fine specimen of the monarch of the woods, moose, parad- ing the streets in harness and subserv- tent to man.
 The moose is the property of Ben Moore, of Skagway. It is and has for some time been kept in bondage but yet allowed to gambol in Mir. Moo:e's yard. but not until the last f.w days i.-.-- i. -a--s-... ....a- -is, harnaas Mr AIuore decided to train the animal 10 drive, and although the work requires pit- fence, there is hope of success.
 The moose is eleven months old, as large as a pony and with head as big and ungainly as barrel and ears to make the largest and most unshapely government mule green with envy.
 As his mooseship strode in his un- gainly gait down Sixth avenue yester- day afternoon. horse that was tied to a post became badly frightened at the appearance of the stranger, and 1t was with difficulty the equine could be per suaded to remain at,the post, even then the affrigh;ed creature paved restless ly and sniffed the air as though in nor tai fear of it's life.
 Mir. Moose moved on unpurturbed and not the least troubled as to the fear that he gave the horse. The child of the forest offered no violence to anyone. but several times it threw low it's ugly head and rushed like football player around the street, and uncolE- fortably near co onlookers.
 The picture fiends were not absent. While the moose passed from Broadway i to Main street, only block, at least four cameras were leveled at him, and the takers congratulated themselves on getting shots at game" that does not fall to the lot of many of the kodak army.
 Horns have not yet appeared on the animal, but 1t has all the other striking characteristics of its kind. and MT. Moore is plcturing to himself what an elegant carriage animal he will have when it displays it's great broad antlers
 This moose is male calf. It was captured on Flat creek, about thirty miles up the Klondike river from Daw- son, A female mae was taken at the same time, but died from broken leg. This moose was brought from the in- terior by Mir. Hyde, and taken to Seat tie, but brought back here December 2Oth.

An Average of Six Days
 Only From Dawson.
ONE LESS THAN FIVE
Six Trips Each Way During tho Month of Fobruary-Muoh of the Praise for This Due tho Canadian Development Company.

The mail service to Dawson Is now the most expeditions of It's kind in the world, and something to be thoroughly prou Of. Skagway has two services really from as far north as Dawson, that of the United States and that of the Dominion govern ment. But the carriers are not working ln- dependentlY but in close harmony. Whichever carrier gets in and starts out first takes the accumulated mail along the route, and this practically doubles the serv. Ice, although rhe contracts call for a once week service.
 No reports are at hand of what the American carriers have done In the way of speedy journeys this winter. Their prin- cipal work has been beyond Dawson this winter, northward as far as Nome. The mail which arrived here last week from Nome was the first from that point carried under government contract. When lt ar rived at Dawson the Canadian carriers had not arrived there from Bennett, so the American carriers took up the Dawson mail and carried lt all the way through,
 But generally most of the mail from points above Dawson Is carried by the Ca nadians, and the latter have made this winter some of the most astonishing trips on record.
 Bv the courtesy of George E. Pullman. general superintendent of the Canadian Development Company, we are able to give list of these rapid trips from Febru arv : tu March :. From this lt will be seen that the company Is literally cover ing itself with glory as a government mail farrier.
