 St. Louis is to" have exposition in 1903; and already preparations for it actively under way. Alaska should have a creditable exhibit at the ex position. To be sure we have little to show besides geld and fish. and curios. Alaska is, no longer urbearing country in large sense, but in mineral exhibits and in fish products we ought and should make credtable showing.

That is to say, that to go to Europe, be- cause the sphon has been working long that what was foreign in that country has been poured into America, and American customs have been poured into Europe.

 The truth is, however that there is much that interesting in this world that it would be utterly impossible for any human being to exhaust it in one lifetime. The trouble with people who thnk they have done so is simply that they have, somehow other, narrowed their tastes that they unable to enjoy life a normal human being should. The world has not grown smaller since Alaska dis covered, but some of the people in it have.
 In almost any large city there IS infinite amount of interest for the student of human nature. Most American cities contain colonies from half dozen different countries, and rule the native American knows nothing of these or of their history It may be urged that does not like to associate with these people. Yet the very thing t.at makes the charm of foreign soourn to many tourists is the opportunity of seeing and talking with the common people" of the country and studying their quaint traditions and folk lore.
 It has been proved over and over, again that almost any phase or condition of life has its interests if one knows where to find them.

He may be so sure that he knows all there is to be known that he does take the trouble to discover anything new, and so goes on weary round, striking the limitations of his own iature at every turn. He finds anything novel or exciting because he simply repeats his previous experiences and dodges all new ones. The most restfu thing in the world is to discover the height and depth and breadth of ones own ignorance. When the im- possibility of learning, seeing, enjoying all the world has to offer is realized, life becomes infinite in its opportunities and ascinations. There is always chance of some change for the better.

The break down of Father Jacquet is due to overwork From

AMONG THE DORSETS.
Valuable Qualities Possessed by
This Prolific Breed.

So many people are interested In
Dorsets and so many ask questions
about them that l desire TO record some
personal observations that have been
interesting to me, says ii. B. Arbuckle
of Georgia in American Sheep Breeder.
Some sheep men are inclined to criti-
rise the Dorsets because of their horns
and because they have enjoyed some
reputation as a special purpose breed.
Let me say that not even the most en-
thusiastic Dorset breeders try to culti-
vate horns on the Dorsets, but many
of them are hoping that there will
arise Blackwell in Dorset circles who
can breed away the horns. This will
come some day, but 1t is to be sincere
ly hoped that it will not be at the
sacrifice of those qualities that make
the Dorsets pre-eminent among the
breeds. The faith and admiration of
Dorset breeders center in qualities
more lasting and useful than horns.
If the Merino breeders had abandoned
the Merinos 80 years ago because of
horns, where would the fine wool In
dustry be today?
AS to the special purpose business, l
would like to say that 1t is nothing to
the discredit of breed to have brought
to the highest development an indus
try which without it must have strug-
gled on with only partial success. l
like to think of what the Dorsets have
done for the winter lamb business, but
the Dorsets commend themselves tn
the American sheep breeders for other
qualities than this.
Only few weeks ago a connoisseur
of many breeds declared that for the
prolific breed the Dorset must carry
the palm 1 could confirm his state
ments in regard to this point as re-
CARDS three breeds, but this gentleman
spoke of another quality in this con-
nection of which 1 desired to speak in
particular. He said that while the
dropping of twin lambs might be a
doubtful advantage in case of most
ticable and profitable in Dorset docks.
And why? Because Dorset ewes could
always raise twin lambs.
Three years test with grade Dorset
ewes has taught me that even grade
Dorset ewes will excel as stock ewes.
But If this can be said of grade Dor
sets, what news have 1 for you from
our pure bred Dorset ewes? 1t is SIM
ply this-that l have never seen a
yearling Dorset eve in our flock that
has failed to raise her two lambs cred
itably when she dropped them, nor
have 1 ever seen one disown lamb.
