Fertile Soil in Alaska.

An inspection of the experiment sta
tion Of Alaska has just been made by
DR.. E. W. Allen assistant superintend-
ent of that branch OF the work Of the de-
partment OF Agriculture in that territory
who has just returned after an absence
OF ten weeks.
DR.. Allen stated that Alaska will be
able to raise all the food needed In that
territory, the experiments Of the agrlcul-
tural stations having demonstrated that
wheat. oats. barley, rye and all the hardy
vegetables can be grown there. He says
that an abundant beef supply can be Sc
cured. At the present time it costs
moro to transport cattle from Seattle to
Alaska than it does persons. This
makes beef extremely high and at the
present prices he thinks there might be
q large profit in conducting stock farms
near Sitka and other large settlements.
Not only has it been demonstrated that
cereals and all the hardy vegetables can
be raised in Alaska, but tho experience
OF the farmers who have practical
OF their business shows that
very handsome profits can be made.

THE DIFFERENCE.

J. H. Wayland, editor of the
Appeal to Reason, in reply to a
query from the Philadelphia North
American, September 9th. explicitly
sets forth the wide difference exists
ing between Socialism and anarchy,
which, strange to say are SO often
confounded in the minds of the
public:
From the standpoint OF society
anarchy cannot exist. A nation or
community without law is unthink>
able. Those who hold such views
cannot be we'll balanced. The
crime of killing is execrable, and
doubly so when applied to king
much more when applied to and
elected executive. Only morbid,
insane man could consider such an
act other than henious. 1t is the
brute overriding reason. Socialism
demands an extension Of the fumes
tions Of law. They are the oppo
site poles Of thought. The anar>
chist evidently has no plan OF soci-
ETY.. No constructive work could
be done without order, and such
order requires rules as we'll as math.
ematics. Every Socialist deplores
the crime just committed. In Eu-
rope and America the Socialist are
against anarchists and where in
favor Of law and order.

Brides Given AWAY.

At an Easter sacrifice dance" Of
the Cheyenne, Arapahoe and Otoe In
dians, held in Darlington, Okla, April
z, 300 young squaws were given away
as brides. The Indians, under charge
of several big medicine men, COM
menced the dance at daybreak. At 9.
a. m. the Great Spirit spoke to them,
and the Indians were awarded wives
Many of the young squaws objected to
the men who were to marry them, but
their objections were overruled by
Yellow Feathers, an Arapahoe medi-
cine chief. In the sacrifice dance the
girls remain to dance Until they are
weary. They are then ordered to stand
in line and the bucks dance around
them for half an hour or more. Then
the medicine men announce that eAcn
buck will take such and such squaw
for his wife. The buck goes to that
squaw, grabs her by the arm and
whirls her off into the dance. She is
later escorted to his tepee and duly in
stalled as cook and servant. That
night the medicine man comes around
and tells them they are married. Next
day the father of the girl must be paid
certain sum, which will not exceed
twenty ponies.-Chicago Journal

Sin Eaters Are Hired.

A curious custom prevails at funerals
in some parts of Wales. A poor per-
son is hired-"a long, lean, ugly, la
mentable rascal"-to perform the du-
ties of sin eater. Bread and beer are
passed to the man over the corpse or
laid on it; these he consumes, and by
the process he is supposed to take on,
him all the sins of the deceased and
free the person from walking after
death. When sin eater is not en-
ployed, glasses OF wine and funeral
biscuits are given to each bearer across
the coffin. The people believe that
every drop of wine drunk at funeral
is a sin committed by the deceased,
but that by drinking the wine the soul
of the dead is released from the burden
of the sin. In some places it is the
custom to send to the friends of u
family after death a bag Of biscuits
with the card of the deceased. These
funeral biscuits, often small round
sponge cakes, were known as arvel
bread. arvel meaning ale.-Chicagu

A Wonderful Movement OF Settlers ]

A Wonderful Movement OF Settlers Is
Now Going On.
Gratifying evidence of the strength
and permanency of the prosperous con-
ditions now prevailing throughout the
country comes in the shape Of reports
from the northwestern states, show
ing phenomenal movement of set
tiers into tHat section from other parts
of the country. Movements of this
kind never occur except in periods
when business opportunities are good
and money is plentiful among the peo-
pie. In the space of six weeks recent
ly it is said that $4,000 home-seekers
passed through st. Paul on their way
to points beyond. Washington has
thus far enjoyed the greatest prefer
ence by the immigrants, conserva-
tive estimate allowing that state 80
per cent Of the total movement. Next
comes North Dakota, then Oregon and
Idaho. These new settlers are not
foreigners. They are from eastern,
middle and southern states. Mime
sofa and Wisconsin are also getting
their share Of the new settlers, but
these come from the old country,
largely, and have already Increased
the population of these two states by
perhaps 10000 Scandinavians. Last
year it was thought that fully $4,000
people went into South Dakota, 10, 900
into North Dakota, and 10000 into
northern Minnesota. All these states
have vast stretches of fertile land yet
open to occupancy and capable of sus-
tanning millions of Industrious, pro-
gressive and energetic people.

Redeerlning
MOneY...

There was received at the redemp-
ton division of the treasury recently
an envelope containing a mass oil
greenish paper, dried and hard, but
showing evidence of having once been
@ater-soaked. The letter accompany
Ing explained that the substance had
once been money, and that it had been
found among the debris left by the
storm at Galveston, Tex. 1t was Of
fered for redemption. There was I'M
doubtedly much money destroyed in
the Galveston storm, but comparative
ly little Of it has been recovered A
half-doZen or more installments have
been received. but in all 1t has amount
ed to but few hundred dollars. Some
OF that sent in had been found in the
pockets of clothing worn by victims Of
the storm. Most of it was in fair
shape. and the senders received the
full amount in crisp, new bills. The
msn who recovered the last lot re-
celved, however, was less fortunate.
1t was turned over to E. A. Brown, the
treasury expert on mutilated money,
who soaked the mass and picked it
apart, discovering at once that it was
composed of worthless confederate
bills. Mrs. Brown and her assistant,
Miss Elizabeth D. Smith, have to deal
with money under many queer condi-
tions. 1t comes to them burned until
only fragments of charred paper are
left, rotted and widowed, gnawed by
mice, eaten and discolored by acids,
and in a thousand other forms. Their
knowledge Of money is reduced to
science. BY glance at a mere frag-
ment of bill they are able to tell
from its "geography"-by which is
meant the particular style Of engrav-
ing-the year of it's issue and the de-
nomination Of the note of which it is
a part. A case Mrs Brown now has
in hand called forth all her ingenuity.
The Morayian National bank of Mora
via, N. Y, sent package of money
that had been burned until only black
and shriveled paper remained. The
burned bills were supposed to amount
to $125. Mrs. Brown was able to iden-
tify more than $500, and as there re-
manned considerable amount Of the
charred paper which had been crushed
until 1t was unacceptable, the full
amount will be paid upon an affidavit
from the bank that the sum stated was
destroyed. A couple of weeks ago a
roll Of burned money was received
t.
sender explained in his letter that the
money belonged to all aged woman
who had been saving it to pay her
funeral expenses. Her house caught
fire and her little hoard was destroyed.
The old lady was not quite sure of the
amount that had been in the roll, but
