Keeping at 1t.

There is very old but very good
story about boy who was engaged
one winter day In putting ton of coal
into cellar. His only implement was
small fire shovel. Noticing this, a
benevolent old gentleman expressed
surprise and commiseration.
My son." said the gentleman, you
surely do not expect to put In oil that
coal with that little shovel?"
"Oh. yes, do," replied the boy cheer
fully. "All have to do is to keep at
it,

Wreck of the Steamer Islander Is tho Cause Census Rstuvns Wsro Lost and Had To Be Rstaksn- Many People Had Loft

Through the loss of the Ailin census papers in the wreck ot the steamer ls- lander, of D'Uglas Island. on August 18th last, the Atlln district census returns will flll short of the population of tha, rlaee m July and August last bv about Goo per sons. Such is the intimatlon of Census Commissioner Macfarllne. who has just returned to Vancouver after completing the second enumeration Of that district.
 Mr. Mae;arlane states that the census will not show up as well as when first taken, owing to the great number of peo- pie who have left for the outside during the winter.
 About Atlin things are somewhat dull, but at Pine creek and Spruce there are some 2so men drifting and making good wages.
 Telegraph creek being blocked in during the winter, a strong agitation Is at present going on for a mall service bl-monthly from Atlin, that being the only outlet for that district during the winter.

THE CURTAIN RUNG DOWN.

Within the next three months the cur tam will be ung down on Siika. The l.st et of long drawn ous drama will have been ended. The principal actors will have completed their performance, the trunks will b, packed and the scenes shifted perhaps forever tor the long used stage.
 The end will be Sld for Sitka. She that has been SO long the center of Alaskan government will be then a western port.
 With the completion of the court house at Juneau. the removal of the prisoners there, the eovstnor and other officials will take up their residence also in that eitv'
 Skagwav does not envy Juneau in the least. She has h1d a hard struggle to gain this end. lt is now hers bv conquest.
 That there will be manifold advantages in the change is self evident. The long irip to Siika will be now avoided. Juneau with the present steamer service Is within one days journey from any of the other Alaskan cities. The officials can be re ehed in less than fifteen days as Is now the esss. The benefits will be keenlv felt bv every person in the public walks Of life.
 As to Sit<a she will still be a town perhaps. Troops will be stationed there no doubt and business will continue, only on a much lesser Scale than before. What Is Sitka's loss is the remainder ot AlaSka'S gain.

City fanciers are troubled by the

New beginners in pigeon culture con

EGG-PACKING TESTS.
summary Of n Valuable Report Is
sued by the New York state
Experiment station.

A few of the methods of packing
eggs dry for keeping have been tried
at the New York experiment station
and reported upon. When fresh the
eggs were wiped with rag saturated
with fat or oil which had been mixed
with some antiseptic, and were'packed
tightly in salt, bran, etc. Eggs packed
in salt during April or May, and which
had been wiped with cottonseed oil to
which had been added boracic acid,
kept from four to five months with q
loss of nearly one-third, the quality
Of those served not being good. Eggs
packed in bran after the same pre-.
iminary handling were all spoiled
after four months. Eggs packed in
salt during March and April, after
wiping with vaseline to which salicylic
acid had been added, kept four or five
months without loss; the quality was
much superior to that of any ordinary
lined eggs.
These packed eggs were kept in a
barn cellar, the temperature of which
varied from 60 to 20 degrees Fahren.
heit, and each box was turned once
every two days. Little difference was
observed in the keeping of fertile or
infertile eggs, and no difference was
noticeable in the keeping qualities OF
eggs from different fowls or from
those under different rations.

PLEADS FOR AMERICAN LAWS.
English Inventor Protests Against

Great Britain.

Lord Rosebery's speech at Birming-
ham on the "Sin of National Self-Com-
placency" has elected many commen-
dations in the serious weeklies. One
of the most interesting of these is
the appeal Of would-be patentee for
a revision of the British patent laws.
He declares that the British authori-
ties issue a dozen so-called patents
for practically the same invention and
then leave all the applicants to fight
out their rights in the courts.
Let our government" he says,
"give us American patent laws, Let
us encourage inventors to stay at
home. We need all the brains we can
get hold of; let not America drain
away too much of our best"

above, says: England thus compla-

lon, n. V, the other day. had a mar
velous escape from being killed by the
west-bound express at the crossing
near Idle Hour. the country seat Of
william X. Vanderbilt, near Oakdale.
Mr.. Ferguson says he was riding
along, his mind intent on other mat
ters, and did not hear the alarm gong
ring. AS he was passing over the rail-
road crossing he looked up and saw
the train was on him. He felt the
suction of the train and thought he
was being drawn under the cars. He
remarked to himself: "There goes my
leg" The next thing he knew. he
says, he was riding through East lslip
on his way to Babylon, three miles
from the scene of the accident. The
heel was gone from his right shoe.
but there were no marks on his body.
He was in a daled state and nervous
when he reached Babylon, but was
uniniured.
The suction from the cars. it is
thought. threw Ferguson from his
machine. and it is supposed his foot
struck the locomotive and tore of
{ he heel. The fright dazed him. and
he must have mounted his wheel and
rode mechanically toward his destina-
ton.

Robert Fitzsimmons has always

pleasure in dealing out playful
punches to his friends or in whack-
ing some billiard player whom he
knows over the back with cue, and
like things. Down at Bath Beach,
where Fitz has been spending the
summer, his favorite joke consists Of
pushing acquaintances off different
piers into the water of Gravesend
bay with all of their clothes on.
Several days .ago well-known
sporting man who is an expert swim
mer went down to Bath Beach to see
Fitzsimmons. Robert, attired in a
Prince Albert coat, gay trousers, tan
shoes and tall hat, was looking for
victims. The sporting man proceeded
to the captains pier and there found
the lanky pugilist.
".Hello, Fitz," said the sport, "how's
everything?"
"Fine," was the reply, as Fitz
moved forward, with q queer grin on
his face. The sport stepped aside
Then with q quick rush the sport

As he lost his balance Fitz made q

to jam his head under the surface o.

GermRny's New Insurance Lnw Puts
Foreign Concerns In Favor
able Position.

Consul General Mason has forward
ed to the state department transla-
ton of the new German insurance law,
which proves to be Unexpectedly favor
able to American companies. The stat
ute includes 1875 articles. Its most inn
portant provisions from the American
point of view consist in the fact that
it places all foreign insurance com
panies--whether fire. life, security or
employers liza liablity-under control OF
special bureau of the imperial gov
ernment instead of. as hitherto, under
a small Office attached to the Prussian
ministry of the interior.
Secondly, concessions to foreign in
surance companies to do business in
Germany are decided upon, and when
granted will be signed by the imperial
chancellor.
The effect Of the new statute will be,
therefore. to put the whole compli-
cated and sensitive subject Of foreign
ins surance compa nies in Germany on .
uniform and much broader basis than
hitherto. when Prussia, Bavaria, Sax
ony. Wurtemberg and the Hanseatic
cities each had different regulations on
| the subject.
IT will now be necessary for foreign
companies doing business in any part
of Germany to Qralify-that is TO say.
comply with the conditions described
for the whole empire. Appeal will
be to the impPr al chancellor. an Off
cial of broader views and prerogatives,
and naturally more open to diplomatic
approach and influence than the state
| Officials under whose ministrations he
restrictions Of the early nineties were
enforced.
What the ultimate effect of the new
law will he upon the great American
companies which are already partly
established it is as yet too early to
predict. II Is understood that they
have complied with the demands of the
statute in respect to furnishing pre-
scribed informa ton concerning their
assets and methods of business. and
their future course will be determin ed
on when il is known how their reports
have been received and to what extent
approved.
Imperial experts express the opin-
ion that under the statute. as enacted,
any well organized, adequately cap.

ei"n insurance or security company

do business in Germany.
