Placer Copper in Alaska

Placer copper has been found in
Alaska, at the head of the White
river. That considerable of it has
been found is evident, because the
natives used nuggets of copper in
the making of arrow heads, bull
lets, etc. These placer copper de-
posits are contained in stream
benches, which owe their existence
to rocky barriers through which
the streams have cut their courses.
Nuggets OF copper weighing as high
as ten pounds have been found,
but these were rare, the copper run
ming gravel-like in size as panned.
Occurrences of stream or placer
copper are rare, and there has been
no find of the metal wherein it was
in quantity sufficient to pay cost

HAS FALLEN IN PRICE
Aluminum, Previous to 1855, Was
Worth Its Weight in Cold

1t is curious to mark the fall in
the price nf aluminium. 1t was
never commercially valuable until
the year 1855. Previous to then it
was worth it's weight in gold and
consequently was merely mineral
curiosity. In 1856 it was quoted
at $50 per pound. In 1870 it was
quoted at $12 per pound. In 1885
the price was reduced to S. per
pound. In 1889 quite large guam
titles were sold at from $3.50 to 50
per pound, and at present it is
quoted at 80 cents, says the Mining
World. Aluminium has had very
rapid advance in popular favor,
more SO than any other metal. This
is because OF the remarkable and
useful qualities of the metal, it's
lightness and strength making OF it
metal for large number Of uses.
Its advent into the electrical field
to take the place of copper was
greatly talked of, but as the price
of copper is much lower than few
years ago it is not probable that
much aluminium will be made into
wire for electrical purposes. The
largest demand for aluminium is
still in the fancy article field, nu-
merous fancy articles and utensils
being manufactured of it. 1t is
used in hundred or more other
articles, and with any further re
duction in price its demand would
doubtless increase enormously. The
production of the metal in the
United States is in the hands of
one company, banzite and cryolite
being the ores from which the
greater part of the metal is ex-
tracted.

New Mexico for contempt. The

Chairman Live Stock Sanitary Board

Relative to mill work, every mine
has its own problem to work out,
and before erecting a high-priced
milling plant tests should be nu-
merous and thorough. A mill that
will not do the work required is
dead property. Under the best Of
supervision a mill will require
changes, because the character Of
the ore as work proceeds in the

SOMETHING ABOUT HATS.

"Souvent femme varie." Not long
ago, says the New York Tribune, young
women scorned wells and protecting
hats; the athletic girl was the belle
of her day, and she rode, drove, sail
ed and played golf, ETC., regardless
OF wind and weather. 1t really seemed
as If the typical woman of the new
century would be almost Amazonian
in her development Then came
reaction-the natural variety inherent
in the sex reasserted itself. women
realized that they became less beauti-
full if they allowed their skins to be-
come weatherbeaten and coarse, and
that the girly girl with her fluffy
skirts and pretty ways, obtained the
most admiration-so the pendulum
swung back again, and the young
women of to-day are as careful about
their compilations as their mothers used
to be.
IT wonder" said an older woman
the other day, "how many people re-
member the straw shakers we used
to be made to wear, to our great dis
comfort, when ] was a little girl.
Fancy what torture such imprison-
ment must have been to a child loving
fresh air and sunlight. They were
made in cylinder shape, about the
size of a large sunbonnet, out of fine
pleated straw; this was lined general
ly with green muSlln ana curtain OF

garden, and pinned the ends together,
so that the entire bonnet hung down

from all protection.
Did you keep on your shakers,
children?' mother would ask when we
came in, and we would answer:
'Yes'm' Poor mother! 1 heard her
say to a visitor one day: L cannot

led. l take such care of their COM

CHRISTMAS SHOPPING.

"I am going to start my Christmas
shopping right off and get it over
quick" said Mrs. Blank at the break
fast table, according to the Brooklyn
Eagle, a couple of days ago, but there
is one stipulation 1 am going to make
with the shop people"
"Yes?" inquired her husband, as she
stopped for breath.
"And that is that everything I buy
shall be delivered in broad daylight"
"Ah you are going to aid in the
movement for early deliveries and thus
help the poor overworked store people"
her son remarked with commentator
in his tones
Never thought of that" was the dis
concerting reply. IT am going to buy
all my special presents at Smart &
Co., and shops just like theirs that
have handsome delivery wagons and
horses and trim men in charge, and l
want all the neighbors ito see the wag-
ons driving up. Last year 1 bought a
lot of things ait these shops, and not
a. parcel was delivered until after dark,
and for all the neighbors knew they
might have come in the unmarked
wagons that those pay by-the-weelk
stores advertise to draw custom. Prices
are high in those fashionable shops,
and I and all the rest of the customers
contribute our share toward the cost
of those smart delivery outfits, and l
want our neighbors ito know where
do my Christmas shopping"

merely the Germans, are described by
Tacitus as chaste and fair and as re-

In that sense one does not look for
corruption among American women
either, but is that only because of the
GOODNESS of which Mrs. George West
speaks? That the human spirit should
Vibrate with passionate human feeling

With the next generation the mar
riageable age moved a step or two in
the right direction; but even then
girls were classed as old maids at a
much earlier age than any one would
dream of so considering them to-day.
In contemporary fiction, the bloom
ing sweet seventeen" Cor thereabouts)
was the faVorite heroine, but to-day
the ingenue, or boarding school miss,
is relegated comparatively to the
background.
Something more than a fresh COM
pleXion and bright eyes Charming and
highly desirable as these undoubtedly
are) is required of a girl. She must be,
if not actually interesting and cultured,
at least chatty and conVersant with
current topics. She must have taste and
adaptability, so as to avoid extremes
of all kinds; of being either too OBJ
viously delighted by passing attentions
from men, or. on the other hand, ag-
excessively independent of the little
courtesies which any well-bred man
will naturally extend to a pleasant girl
into whose society circumstances may
have thrown him. Indeed, anywhere
between 20 and 80, a girl is more likely
to be sought after than before she is
20 years old.
One frequently hears thoughtful girls
remark tnaC tney prefer IHeH Oluer
than themselves to boys of their own
age This is probably because of the
we'll known fact that girls develop
earlier than boys. on the other hand,

Shakespeare in the familiar quotation,
Let still the woman take an older

thing like the same extent as former
ly.
Much discrepancy in age despite
happy exceptions) is generally rather
to be deprecated; but just as much so
where the man is the elder, unless he
happens to be of a young and intense
ly sympathetic disposition. Old maids
or bachelor girls, as we much more
descriptively term them nowadays,
make much better wives than old
bachelors do husbands. The latter are
likely to be so crusted over with SOL
itary self-sufficing habits as to make
a perilous probability of their being
more or less uncompanionable The
average woman, being by habit more
unselfish can adapt herself more cas-
lily to sympathize with other tastes

has right to the confidence of the
other, and so long as sentiment en-
ters into it there will be the same in
terchange of interests between married
couples as between the engaged. The
rule holds as good whether applied to
man or to woman.

oand devotedly, she says. She has no

girl friend has told her. When of
an evening her husband puts on his

are you going for? Who else is go
ing? What makes you go? You can
think of me waiting here alone until

l have never seen an instance of a
very happy marriage when the woman
was the bread winner, If the husband
were strong, well man. If a woman
makes home and cares properly for
the husband and the children who
should be in it, she has business enough
within the walls of her house. What
ever she does outside is Just so much
taken from the strength and thought
that belong rightly to the home and
its inmates. From the beginning it
has been woman's part to care for
what the man provided, and this in
stlnct is rooted back many centuries.
and is a part of the human race to-
day. So surely as it is violated for
anything but the greatest need the
woman and the man suffer for the
violation. She grows to despise the
man who does not provide for her
though she does not say so-and he
loses his self-respect.
The woman who works with all her
might to help a man make money
makes a great mistake If she is seek
ing happiness, for the money is bought
at the cost of the character develop
ment in tenderness and unselfshness
that the man needs and gets when he
looks after his wife as he wants to
when he marries. 1t should be some
very strong cause that leads her to
take from him this right to an unselfish
manhood. The woman who makes
true home does more for the man than
she does by going into the labor mart,
and she cannot do both. 1t is no easier
than it is to serve God and Mann
mOn,"

THE "NAGGING" HABIT.

AS a rule, says the Philadelphia
Ledger, women are more unselfish than
men, but very often they lack the right
kind of consideration for their hus-
bands. They will treasure up all the
cares and worriment of the day for
their husbands ears when they come
home at night probably feeling weary
and tired. If the husband appears I'M
sympathetic, the wife will imagine her
self a much injured person Then fol-
lows 'the little rift in the lute' that
destroys the sweet harmony of the
home. The woman who makes her
home happy and who is always pleas
ing in her husbands eyes is the one
who exercises those two indispensable
qualities, tact and cheerfulness. Speak
ing mildly, the woman who "nags"
has precious little loneliness in her
character. Her husband deserves the
greatest sympathy, for certainly the
man with a "nagging' wife has an I'M
happy lot. A woman is only increas-
ing her husbands faults when she is
forever depicting them to him. One
sweet quality in a woman will do more
good than any number of reprovals.

STIFF CORSETS

corset makers that the stiff corset, with
it's straight laced, uncomfortable APP
pearance, is a thing of the past and
that If they want to get the fashionable
trade they must adopt the pliable COR
set. 1t was more noticeable than ever
at the horse show this season that
the corsets in the smartest gowns were
supple and pliable to the figure. Few
women who dress well buy ready
made corsets. They have them made
to order and carefully fitted TO the fig
ure. Some professional women even go
so far as to have them fitted to the
nude. Men are required for this work.
Women are not nearly strong enough
in the wrists.
"Pliable corsets leave the bust and
hips quite free. Women who once
take them up never go back to the
straight-laced corsets of our mothers
and grandmothers. Corse.s for girls

ANOTHER VIEW OF
AMERICAN WOMEN.

The American woman, says H. b.
Watson in the Nineteenth Century, is
claimed by her admirers as being in
dependent. But she is more than that;
she is anarchical. An American lady,
Mrs. George CORVALLIS West, who is
held in great repute, informs us that
American women love titles because
they are Striving always to have the
best of everything, including society"
We are also told by this undoubted au-
thority that the American girl sci
dom loses her heart, and never her
head" In that confession / see the
main source of the anarchy which she
effects and the degeneration which she
represents. One more quotation from
Mrs. George CORVALLIS West may be
useful:
The American woman has often been
taxed with being extravagant, and II
this be true her bringing up must be
held mostly responsible. The hard
working busy man of Wall street.
