Ran Loose Four Years.

In the summer of 1899 Mir. A. Holman left Valdez with a number ot horses, and took a trip in over the trail as far as the Yukon, the object being to inspect the route and establish mail stations, as he had just received the contract to carry mail from Valdez to Yukon points.
 When near the Chistuchina river on his way in three of the horses were lost. and after several days fruitless search the party was compelled to go on without them. The horses remained at liberty roaming throughout the country for four years, until finally discov- cred and captured by MT. McKe- on while on trip up the Copper river last summer. He made use of them to pack an outfit into Fair banks. They were fat and healthy after their four years of idleness. which should prove that horses can be raised in the Copper river valley without trouble.

choIists From the Grave.

Melancholia is . grave disease; it has
tendency TO induce suicide and homi-
eide: in many cases it leads to dread in
sanity. The first important symptom cf
ordinary meIancholia is sleeplessness. An
other symptom of the greatest Importance
is a dull pain in the back OF the neck,
extending to the back of the mead. Then
we see other symptoms, such as depres-
sion of spirits, slow mental and muscular
movements, retarded speech, terrifying
hallucinations, aversion to food and dis
regard of life. Every case of melancholia
is directly traceable to weakness or
collapse of the nervous system. The
nerve branches of the sympathetic sys-
tenn, the spinal column and brain, are not
doing their work and the blood is thin,
sluggish or impure.

rescuer and life builder for every melan-
