PROSPERITY.
SkagWay Is In First Glass
 Condition

Never since the landing of the trail blazers on the old ship Mexico, has Skagway been in better condition than at the present time. Prosperity and contentment is written on the faces Of merchants and business men, and it is the universal verdict that Skagway has seen its worst days. The people in gen. eral are not on the wing, that they are here to stay is plain to be seen by the way everybody are fixing up their homes. Our sales of art goods for de- corating purposes never was better. The thunder of pianos sold by us this year tells us plainly that people are gaining confidence and wish to make Skagway their home. There seems to be no demand for cheap goods. we are selling more high grade watches and diamonds than we did in early days, we make close price on goods and sell lots of

Editor Alaskan:
 ] cannot see why people should at- tempt to reason the age of Ann by the use Of algebra. The problem to me Is very easy, in fact. it did not take me three minutes to work out the proper re ult. l have read all the answers in your paper and am of the opinion that they are all wrong, as not one of them briag the proper answer. Ann is 10 years of age.
 J prove my work as follows: Mary was 24. which is half the age Of Ann, which is l2 wears. Adding 24 and l2 we have 36, dividing this by we have 9. and 9 from 2l is l5, which is the age Of Ann.
 This, ] trust, will stop all the annoy auce caused by those who cannot work out the proper answer. MADAM.

Talking of hair restorers,' said the captain of steamer who has been wlaler. none Of them is in 1t with the air of the arctic regions A man with thin hair who fails to get a new crop if he goes within the arctic circle is a hopeless case. l have seen whalers who got bald when they stayed at home for a year or two and got 3 new crop of hair every time they went to- ward the north pole on a whaling expe dluon.
 "How do ! account for 1t? The far ther you go north the land animals get shageier It is a provision against the cold. When the arctic winter ap- proaches. the reindeer, the bears and other animals get a thicker coat of hair or fur. Similarly the hair on the hu- man head thickens when you go far. north
 "It is fact. Now, ] don't want you to think that once the follicles of the hair are dead new hair always comes, even in northern regions. Sometimes, when a man is apparently as bald as| a billiard ball, the follicles are not dead. and there is hope for him."-PhH- adelphia Ledger

about $4,50O received from John Rod

defensive wall, or wooden palisade
(which gave Wall street its present
name), was built across the island.
The stone of this bastion was used in
constructing the new building The
front Of the building was embellished
with the arms of the King and those
Of the Earl of Bellomont. These orna-
