 Prof. Macoun, the Canadian govern ment botanist, will visit the Yukon and study the flora of the country next summer He was there last summer, and was the first botanist to make study of flora of the basin. He found more than 200 varieties of flowers and plants and declares the Yukon vegeta- tion is not of the Arctic but of the tenn perate zone classification. He will make an official report to his govern ment which will be permanent in the historical data of the nation, and doubtless be of great value in the bo- tanical and perhaps in the agricultural exploitation of the Yukon.
 Mrs. Jack Lindsey, wife of the proprietor of the hotel at Porcupine, who recently made the trip down the frozen river to Haines had an expert ence that savored too much of danger to be agreeable. The mercury stood at 9 below zero upon an occasion that a small opening in the river had to be forded. She was in the care of Jack Dalton's foreman, MT. Woo druff, who undertook to carry her across the swift running open water. When within two feet of the shore ice her escort slipped and they were both drenched. Mrs. Lindsey immediately took off her clothes and wrapping herself in the fur robes on the sled was thus saved from perishing. MT. Woodruff, mean while took off his long rubber boots with much difficulty and they froze solid the moment they were freed from his feet. Wells was four miles distance and he ran there for his life, succeed ing in his race against what appeared certain death, so we'll that he got out of the scrape with but the freezing of several of his toes.
 Sitka, unlike Skagway, is an intensely asthetic town, says the Skagway Alas kan. The ladies over there don't de- vote themselves to cards, dancing, and other frivolities as they do in Skagway. Culture is entirely the proper caper at the capital. There are ladies societies for the promotion of art, literature, hygiene, advanced cookery, ethnology, history and philosophy. There is a redeeming feature about Skagway, however, in the eyes of the Sitkan ladies. The town is equipped with full fedged federated woman's club. Mrs. Keller, of this organization, has advanced the aesthetic reputation of this city by the contribution of an article to the national organ of this ladies fedora tion and has scored big point over cultured Sitka. pr. Keller, who is now at Sitka on professional trip, is re- ceiving many courtesies because he is so fortunate as to have become best known as Mrs. Keller's husband. It has conferred upon him an entree to an afternoon tea circle and he has several times been regaled with the choicest chef d'oeuvres of the advanced cookery society. Dr. Keller is now reveling in reflected distinction.

Many new streams are producing dumps of low grade dirt.

SCHOOL HOUSE AT DON LUIS.
Plans Have Been Drawn, and Are Now in the Hands of the Barbour
 Company.

Thursday marked the official open ing of the post office at Don Luis. and the receipt and dispatching of mails from the new town establishes more firmly the fact that there is now full fledged town at Don Luis
 Another important factor entered into the establishment of the city at the southern end Of he Mule Noun tains. when J. A. Holden. the well known architect from Douglas, who had been commissioned to prepare de- signs for the new school house at Don Luis, yesterday submitted the same to the Henry P Barbour Co. These de signs cover a very handsome building to be built of Tufa stone or masonry, covered with cement, and stone trim mings and rustic shingle work and fin ish in the exterior The designs de- part from the stereotyped style of architecture of school buildings, being on the cottage order. The building will be close to 75 feet in length, and about 8 feet in depth. There are to be two school rooms, each 29 by 29 feet. Entrance is made into a com modious vestibule, on either siGe or which is a cloak room. and the most ample light will be provided for each room. Upon MT.

A CHARMING WINTER HAT.

IL or IL, or even II cores being used.
These much-gored skirts fit closely to
the knees, then spring out full and i'm
portant looking at the hem, while they
suit soft cloth, satin CT silk. Skirts with
every variety of hip yoke, also all plated
styles, have as great a following as any.
The short skirt is undoubtedly the skirt
Of the moment for walking and all out
door purposes. 1t has proved so useful
and yet smart that it is unlikely we shall
ever be without the short skirt again.
There is no question that in contra
distinction to the light frothiness Of the
late summer costumes, the majority Of
present modes make for heaviness and
magnificence of effect. Beautiful glow
ing velvets, the richest and stateliest
of brocades, will compose our evening
gowns; and furs, deep and soft, are left
alone in their glory, for no longer is it
smart to adorn them with lace, chiffon,
or other f1imsy trimmings.
Coats and nantes are too varied to
be quoted in detail. There is feeling
in favor of the tight-fitting coat with
long basque.
The loose-backed coat is still popular,
but usually its fullness is caught in at the
back waist by a belt which stops short
at the side seams. Capes and capelets
in one, two or three-fold form, embellish
most of the newest coats, the shoulder
slope being more accentuated than ever.
Many smart coats are made of a sort
of fur cloth with close MORE surface.
There is always some flash OF bright
velvet or pale luminous panne, delicate
ly embroidered, showing in these coats.
Cloth of god, embroidered with silk
flowers of the most brilliant hue. is used

MAKING FIRM BACON.
System of Feeding by Which Pigs
May De Put on the Market
ut Six Months Old.

In Denmark they look upon barley
as the best food for good bacon. Ex-
ercise is conducive to firm bacon, and
If plenty of buttermilk is used l do
not think there is any danger of soft
bacon After pig reaches rs or 100
pounds almost anything can be given
it in the way of feed. Some of our
packers have been advocating keep
ing the hogs until they are eight or
ten months old as help to produce
the firm bacon, but if fed right hog
may be put on tie market at six
months old. think in many in
stances the value of roots has been
overestimated, but they certainly help
to keep the hogs in good condition
and prevent them from becoming too
fat when young. Without roots, our
difficulty has been to get them to
grow rapidly without getting fat. Fed
on something bulky they will grow
and at the same time not become
very fat. 1t is little difficult to ex-
plain the reason. The question of
wheat feeding has never been taken
up by our institution. In feeding it,
l should mix something bulky with
1t, or it might be g,lmmy and indi-
gestible. | would much prefer feed
Ing some roots with it. For young
pigs we found oats better than most
feeds. We grind them as finely as we
can mix with middlings.-Prof. G. e.
