Profitable Farming in Alaska.

GOV. Brady of Alaska and other per-
sons familiar with the general features.
and natural resources of that north
eln most possession of the United
States have frequently asserted that its
soil and climate are far more amenab,e
to the processes of a high civilization
than is generally supposed, and have
predicted that the time would come
When Alaska would he the home of a
large and prosperous agricultural pop
ulation. Official confirmation of these
views is furnished in a report lust
made by a special agent of the United
States agricultural department, who
has had charge of an agricultural ex-
pertinent station in Alaska. He thinks
that the territory will ultimately be
as promising a field for agriculture and
stock raising as it now is for mining.
The results of experiments extending
for two years have established beyond
a doubt, he says, that such staple pro-
ducts as flax, wheat, oats, rye and bar
ley can be grown with success and
profit in almost every part of Alaska
Thus one after another of the old ar
guments against the purchase of "Sew-
ards folly" are made to give way in
the light of the facts.-Leslie's Weekly

was master of sort Of rough eloquence
which proved effective, and he grew
daily in power and popularity. In per

nally he became minister of justice un-

OF the terrible committee of public

OF Robespierre and was sent to the
guillotine in April, 1894. A few months
later Robespierre met the same fate.

Not SO was Queen Ranavalona III,
of Madagascar treated when few
years ago the French, who had claimed
Madagascar for good part of two
centuries, decided to take her into
exile. She and her two uncles were
French authority. The men were tried
and executed, but the Queen herself
was captured in her palace, where she
lived almost like hermit, and taken
first to a little island in the ocean.
There the spirit of revolt followed her,
so that the French finally decided to
transport her to Algeria, where she
would be too far from home to head
rebellion. Accordingly, she has been
given fine villa, staff of servants,
and an allowance of $4,000 a year by
the government, and it is said that
she has a much better time than when
she was locked up all the time in
her palace at home, with no amuse-
ment except to fly paper kites out Of
the window. Now she has developed
a great taste for French millinery, as
we'll as liking for cigarets, chewing
tobacco, and jewelry. In the line of
jewels, it is said that her collection
is valued at $2,000,000.
The proposition to send Aguinaldo

Egypt, and in 1882 both British and
French warships were sent to Alex
andria to overawe and defeat the reb-
els, and to make prisoner Of Arab
as their chief. For many weeks Arab
was able to hold off the enemy. but
finally he was overtaken and his forces
cut to pieces at Tel-El-Kebir. Arab
was captured by the British troops
and placed on trial on a charge of high
treason. He pleaded guilty, and was
sentenced, with the members of his
staff, to Punishment to the island of
Ceylon. There he has lived ever since,
welcome guest at the houses of Brit
ish authorities on the island, and the
recipient of a large allowance from the
British government. When Arab gave
up his sword and went into exile he
was only AZ years old and was in APP
pearance the typical leader of savage
and fanatical people. Now that he is
past 60 his expression has softened,
and he has become venerable and

The United States has had to deal
with number of rebels One Of the
first was Daniel Shays, the leader of
rebellious force of Massachusetts
men, who objected to the collection Of
the large taxes after the close of the
revolutionary war. Shays organized
force of 1000 men, marched on ana
captured the town of Worcester. and
finally demanded the surrender of the
United States arsenal at Springfield.
The United States officer in command
fired number of cannon over the
heads of Shay's army, which broke
and ran. Shays and number of lead
ers were arrested and tried on charges
of high treason. Several of them were
convicted and sentenced to death, but
these sentences We're never executed.
Finally free pardon was granted to
all who had taken part in the rebel
lion.
little bit later the so-called whisky
instructions broke out in Pennsyl-
vania. These disturbances were of so
much Importance that President Wash
ington ordered out $4,000 troops and
sent commissioners over the noun

was some bloodshed and many cases
of violence shown against the officers

The origin of St. Valentines day is
sobscure. Saint Valentine was priest
of Rome, who was martyred in the
third century. Douce says that it was
the practice in ancient Rome, during
great part of February to celebrate
feasts in honor of Pan and Juno. At
these times, amid many ceremonies.
the names of young women were put
into box, from which they were
drawn by men. The pastors of the
early church, striving to eradicate pa
gan superstitions, often substituted the
festival of some Christian saint for
that of heather deity. In this case
they probably chose that of st. Valen-
tine, which occurred at nearly the
same time. but though the name of
the day became Christian, relics OF the
old pagan ceremonies still cling to it,

The mountains from my window lie out
rolled,
Their solemn peaks with coronals of
snow,
Ger which the fires of dawn and sun
set flow,
And keen, high ridges by fierce winds pa

With evening comes mighty shadow
Across my doorway as the sun sinks
low,
And, high above. the loftier SUBMITS

Faint as the twilight tames their outlines
bold
Then from the nights the spirit of re-

Steals earthward, with the peace that

is fain
That from the towering peak of silence
flows,
And pours its balm upon the toling

At the present time, as Emilio Agui-
naldo is likely to discover, there is
nothing particularly dangerous about
playing the part of a revolutionist. A
hundred years ago it was different.
Then man or woman who revolted
against established authority was fair
~ certain to have his or her head cut
off, and was likely to have other I'M
pleasant things happen. Now, so long
at least as one is careful to rebel
against a civilized and enlightened
power, captured leader is likely to
'be furnished with handsome resi-
dence on some salubrious and beauti-
ful island, paid liberal allowance by
the government against which he has
rebelled, and asked to live quiet and
healthful life, with nothing to worry
about
In all the law books the old defini-
ton OF rebel and the punishment for
rebellion remain, but, though the "high
treason" be proved the death 'penalty
Is rarely enforced.
A good example of the way in which
oels were treated only century ago
found in the story of Toussaint T.

and statesman, who founded the

dismal dungeon, where he suffered
from lack of food and sickness, dying
at the end Of ten months imprison-

time the united power of England and
