PERILS OF ALASKAN TRAVEL
Letter Carriers Heroism Described
In an Interesting Letter.

IN an interesting Letter.
A letter telling of the perils and
hardships Of travel In Alaska has been
received. by Mr.. Henry Rechtin, dis
bursting clerk Of the department Of
justice, from A. R. Heilig, who is the
clerk Of the United States district
court for the district of Alaska, says
the Washington Post. Mr.. Heilig is
stationed at Eagle, Alaska. The COM
munication was dated at that place
Nov. 80, 1901. The letter inclosed the
voucher for Mr.. Heilig's salary for the
month Of November.
II received the check for my salary
for August on Nov. 49," Mr.. Heilig
said. "This is the last received, by
reason of the slowness of the mails on
account of the difficulty in travel this
time of the year. The mail carrier

when he arrived at Eagle, all his

and in two days we heard by wire Of
his safe arrival at Forty Mile, about
fifty miles toward Dawson. He should
be at the latter place now, though we
have not yet heard from him.

Skull BOrers,

A remarkable application Of Biblical
precept is still to be found among the
Serbs, who do not all live in Servia, but
are also scattered over Turkey, Monte
negro, Bosnia and southern Hungary.
They are very quarrelsome, and the
vendetta flourishes among them. 1t
follows that bullet holes iu the skull
are by no means uncommon.
Now, according to the unwritten law
a man who has made hole in anoth-
er's head must submit to having his
own head perforated in like manner,
unless he prefers to pay about 500
damages, which is seldom the case. So
there has arisen among the Serbs Pc
culiar profession, that of the "medigs,"
or trepanners, who for a moderate fec
will bore hole in your skull and guar.
antee the wound to heal in two weeks.

examined a bunch of peach twigs

found almost all of the buds dead. This
announcement called forth a storm of
