CURIOUS SEED LABELS.
Odd Markings on Free Samples frona
 Conecesamen.


 Persons who receive seeds from the United States department of agrieul- ture through the courtesy of their rep resentative 1n congress find some curl ous information printei on the pack cts. Thus, cannas, which convey to the ordinary mind an idea of a large eafed plant attractive for grouping Tn large lawns, are stated on the agri- cultural department packages to be "an interesting genus, the under ground stems of which are eaten in Peru" Also, from some unknown species the famous -les-mois, a valuable arrow-root is made The seed, which IS said by Lindley to be nsed as substitute for coffee, is soms- times nsed as shot The lonely su- burban dweller may ind this hint use- ful: It will keep for thirty years and Ihen yegetate. The old-fashioned marigold is said to have "repute in domestic medicines as a cure for measles: used in soups, also to make a kind of vinegar. The common zin- nias derive their name from @Profes- sor zinn, German botanist9 Lark spurs botanical name is "de1phinum rom dolphin, dolphin, referring to
 he supposed resemblance in the nec- tary of the plant to the imaginary fig tres of the dolphins." All the papers 9f seeds sent out by the department hear the request. Please report the result of your trial to this depart nent.s These reports must be inter- asting. especially those turned in by amateur gardeners.

Difference in Oranges.

To great many people an orange Is sn orange, but there are oranges and oranges. and several grades are gath cred from the same orchard not only, but from the same tree. An orange plucked from the Anny side of tree does not look like a nearer relation to an orange plucked from a less favored side of the same tree at the samJ time than a third cousin. Hence there is a wide range in the quotation on oranges of the same stock from the same locaI- itz.-Natiopal Fruit Grower.

Skeletons Of DerrIahea.

In London just at present the fad. dists and the curio collectors are wing with one another for the possession ot skeletons of derYishes that have been brought back from the bloody plains before Omdurman. Some 150 to 200 dervish skeletons are on the London market; and experts in bones declare that their superiority over the average skeletons of commerce will cause DO little stir in anatomical circles.

auaFaing the Trans. siberian Railroad

Guarding the Trans Siberian Railroad.
 The Siberian railroad is very closely guarded, the management feel ing personally responsible for the peo- pie they carry on their trains. The road is divided into sections of one verst, or fiye-eighths of mile. In a neat little log house, usually in gar den, live the guard and his people. The average family is a wife and five w-headed children. The houses were built by the company and evidently with a view to meeting the demands of increasing families. The guard or member of his family must patrol his section night and day. He steps to the side of the track as the train ap- breaches and after it has passed steps back into the middle of the track, holds small green flag in the air, at night lantern, and stands like statue until the train has entered the next section. Several guards do duty in the heavy curves and frequently they are only a few hundred feet apart. Much of the track patroling is done by women, who have proved fully as re- liable as the men. The women are nearly always barefooted, and as they stand CD the track holding the flag aloft. a Siberian breeze toying with their short skirts, they are fine sub- jects for a sculptor after unique model

Queer Indian Customs.

The Mosquito Indians are not stf- guainted with the art of kissing, but they sniff or smell the skin of the cheeks, which answers the same pur- pose. The little child is lifted in the fathers arms, he buries his nose in it's stomach. Handshaking is as common as with us. but there is always a tinge of melancholy in the character of the Indains, which breaks out where We would expect hilarity. Thus, after long absence, sisters and mothers sit down, and, throwing cloth over their heads, with their hands clasped on the head of the person who has returned, cry over him with their dirge-Iike song. On the part of the wives, it is supposed to be improper to show any emotion; consequently they take lit tie notiee of the husband on his return, but confine their attention to others and do their duties in the meantime.- Bells Tangewera.

IT SHOULD BID GRANTED.

There is no reason WHY Canadians
should not grant Skagwav merchants the
privilege of carrying Canadians goods in
bond. 1t would increase rather than dim
Irish the market for Canadian products.
TODAY manv'order are filled at SkagWay
for the interior with American merchan-
disc where Canadian would be used If 1t
were to be had here. Thete are, of course,
orders where time Is Of more consequence
than small difference In cost.
1t would have tendency to aid Cana
dian shipping, because those American
goods purchased for the inside market
would In all probability be first shipped to
Victoria and Vancouver in order to escape
the Bennett apprasement for the purpose
of duty. From those points they would
naturally find their way into Canadian
bottoms.
The only people in all of Canada then
whose business would be at all interfered
with would be the Victoria and Vancouver
merchants, and their wholesale trade
would be doubtless increased, because the
.Skagwav merchants would. without ques-
ton, place the great bulk of their orders
in one or the other of these British Column
bian towns. A few of our merchants
would no doubt place all occasional order
In eastern Canada, but these would be the
exception and not the rule. AS matter
Of fact the probabilities are that the sales
of Vancouver and Victoria in the north
would be greatly increased by such an ar
rangement.
Many of the merchants of the British
Columbia cities are enthusiastically in
favor Of granting this privilege to Skag-
way. They think 1t would permanently
settle the controversy and increase their
sales at the same time.
The British Columbia press should think
twice before passing judgment against a
reasonable demand for the same privileges
that their people have been granted by the
United States,
The daily morning Alaskan., 1900-08-23

WANT ONLY FAIR PLAY.

Referring to the DAILY ALASkAN'S con-
tention for equitable reciprocity in customs
regulations, the Victoria CoIonist saws:
"The ALASKAN is not content with JUS
tice. 1t wants something very much
more. 1t wants a privilege, the like of
which Is accorded nowhere else in the
world, namely, the right to trade in Cana>
da In exactly the same manner as its mer>
chants would enjoy if they were living in
Canada. If this Is not granted thew
threaten reprisals."
The DAILY ALASKAN does not want
anything of the kind. It wants just such
United States to Canada. A Canadian
merchant can hold American goods in bond
and return them to American territory free
of duty charges at his will. American
goods are being shipped from Dawson into
the American Yukon country every day,
and there is no dutv charged. The
first assistant secretary of the treasury
stated to the Skagway Chamber of Com
merce that such Is Amercan law and that
1t Canadians desired to be fair they would
extend the same privilege to Americans at
Skagwav and elsewhere.
Let Canadians grant this small conces-
sion for the very liberal treatment they
have received at the hands of the Ameri-
can government, and make arrangements
50 that our merchants can In fact send
goods in bond through Canada to the
lower Yukon, and there will be no more
heard from Skagwav with reference to the
closing OF the port at this place. Other
wise. our people will be heard from in a
wav not to be mistaken. If the reasonable
requests of Skagway be not granted, there
Is no reason to doubt but that the treasury
department will extend helping hand.
That failing, congress remains, and there
are manv wavs In which that BODY can be
reached. Congress has eyer been more
jealous of the rights of Americans than
any other branch of the government.
Nor will Skagwavans be turned from
their purpose by any all Canadian railway
bluffs. We will take chances on being
able to compete with line ten or dozen
times as long as the White Pass & Yukon
route.
Skagway onlv wants fair play.
