ANY WAY BUT THERIeHT way

The Juneau city council now peti- tions the subcommittee Of the senate's committee on territories, to move con- gress to amend the Alaska corporation act in a manner that municipalities may be impowered to apportion the license revenue and to grant or revoke liquor licenses
 For a city so ayerse to general civic advancement as Juneau, this demand upon the congress ot the United States Is hardly consistent. 10 the people Of the municipalities are competent to act in such matters, then certainly are the electors ot the district at large also fully competent Co pass laws for them selves directly iu line and consistent with the very natural desires of the people of Juneau as reflected by their eouncilmeu. If it is dangerous Co in- trust the 6uancierlng oi home affairs to the district at large, it is certainly equally as dangerous to allow this same privilege to municipalities. It is bad grace for Alaskan towns Co ask such special and rather exclusive privileges, while leaguing Co withhold such very natural rights Co the general popula- tion ol the district. There is no more reason why schools and saloons in unin- eorporated towns and camps should be at the mercy Of touring functionaries, than are like institutions in municipal ities regulated by city councils Give all Alaska the plain American right of regulating purely domestic affairs and there will be no need of importuning congress for such legislation-the re- suit of which in this instance is unjust, because savoring too much of rank ia- voritism.

peartb Of German Army officers.

The German army is at present suf-
fering from dearth Of officers. This
is due in the first place to the cost OF
living. Young officers need more cloth
ing and more extensive equipment than
was formerly the case. In addition,
the habit has become general of par
ticipating in expensive banquets, which
with the high priced wines consumed
are most demorallzing.
Another reason for the scarcity is to
be found in the decline of agriculture
through which the sons Of landowners
who formerly became officers have to
seek q more remunerative profession.
The present pension system, too, has
the effect of placing officers at disad-
vantage. After serving twenty years
and having become colonies they are
retired, because in the higher positions
fewer officers are needed. The mini
mum sum of the pensions as at present
arranged is so low that an officer OF
the rank Of colonel. after being retired
often finds himself unable to give his
children an education such as IS re-
quired in Germany.
AS few rich marriages are made by
officers in Germany there is nothing
for such man to do but to make debts
A proposed reform Of the pension law
is expected to come before the reichs
tag, and if this be carried it may, will
the help Of revival Of agriculture, re-
duce the scarcity Of oficers.-Londor

wh.n Reard. Were Barred.

In the early part OF the last century
a social tyranny prevailed which re-
garded the beard as an outrage, says
an English writer. At one time only
four men in Birmingham had courage
to wear boards. They were followers
Of Joanna Southcott. They did 1t In
imitation of the apostles and were
ieered at In the streets. George Fred
erick Muntz, one of the first two
members elected in Birmingham, was
the first member who ventured to wear
q beard In the house Of commons. and
he would have been insulted had he
not been a powerful man and carried a
heavy Malacca cane. which he was
known to apply to any one who offered
him personal affront. The Rev. Ed
mund r. Larken Of Burton rectory,
near Lincoln. was the first clergyman
(that was as late as 1852 who appear
ed in the pulpit with beard, but he
shaved the upper lip as an apology for
the audacity of his chin. George Daw-
son was the first nonconformist preach
err who delivered sermon in a full
blown mustache and beard, which was
taken in both cases as an unmistak-
able sign Of latitudinarlanism In doc
trine. In the bank clerk or the work
man 1t was worse. 1t was nat insuD-
ordination not to shave.

THE MILKY SEA.
Curious Sight Occasionally WIZ
messed In Tropical Waters.


OF the many sights witnessed in the
oceans of the globe, one OF the most
curious and most weird Is that de-
scribed by sailors as the milky sea,
ships being surrounded for severai
hours by water that appears to be a
snowy whiteness. The spectacle Is re-
stricted TO the darkness of night ana
rare occasions, and. while it is limited
mainly to the warmer waters or the
tropical belt, il appears to be more
common in the Indian ocean than in the
Atlantic and Pacific. From the white
water the light is so strong that ordi-
nary newspaper print can be read on
board ship. but the scene all round is
of an awe inspiring description. Inc
horizon is blotted out, sea and sky seem
10 become one in sort OF universal
luminous fog, which, like a London FOG,
robs the observer of the sense OF dis
lance and direction, the deck being lit
ND with CHASTITY, shadowless light.
Once off the west coast Of South Amer
lea a bucket of the white water emp
tied back into the sea resemsled molten
lead. This curious sight has interested
scientific investigators, but while 1t Is
no doubt related to the many phos'
phorescent displays common at sea
there is no sufficient explanation forth
coming of this particular manifestation
or of the singular atmospheric effects
resulting from it.

WHY CUBS ARE KILLED.
Prison Ilsfe Often Robs Animals OF
Maternal Spirit.

Among the huge cages Of the carniv-
orous animals-the 1.-the tgress, the
treacherous and soft footed leopardess
and frequently even the generous lion
ess herself-the life OF baby wild anil
NAL becomes sometimes tale Of blood
shed and tragedy. Nagged and CALLED
by prison bars, by narrow confines that
make exercise impossible and by the
excitement Of throngs OF sightseers'
these naturally nervous and high
strung brutes become overweight to
d pitch where they satisfy an unnat-
ural cannibal appetite on their own
flesh and blood.
Like little bundles Of sunshine the
kittens of these ferocious brutes APP
pear. mewing plaintively with tight
shut eyes and cropping in the darkness.
Thousands Of them have been born be-
hind the bars OF menagerie cages-no
fault lies with the stork himself-but
most frequently the irresponsible. crazy
mothers pounce upon and devour them
or else injure them beyond hope OF re-
covery. When the watchfulness and a
pitchfork of a keeper succeed In rescu-
ing one of these kittens. 1t is given In
charge Of some big mother dog, which
adopts the stranger and rears him.
Now and then, however. some strong
healthy, intelligent member of this
ferocious family ceases to worry and
fret at captivity, and. the maternal In
stinct cropping TO the fore. the care OF
a litter Of cubs becomes a welcome re
lief from the stern monotony OF prison
life.-A. W. Rolker In McClure's.

Exchange of Compliments.

A village sexton In Pennsylvania
town, in addition to being gravedigger,
acted as a stonecutter, carpenter and
furniture mover. The local doctor. hav'
ing decided to locate in another county.
employed the sexton to assist In re-
moving his household goods. All went
well until it came to settlement. when
the doctor deducted an old account due
by the sexton. He wrote at the same
time objecting to the charge made for
removing his furniture, using these
words: "If this was steady 1t would
pay much better than gravedigging."
In few days back came this reply:
Indeed, would be glad Of steady
Job. Gravedigging is very slack since
yon left the county. "-Philadelphia

letter Of introduction and sent up his
card with tue letter. The servant pres

The Natives Had Scruples.

There is an amusing story told about
an old time south sea trader. He had
been in the habit of carrying all sorts
of timed meats, which the natives
bought with avdity. Each tin was
branded with a colored picture-a COW
for beef, a sheep for mutton and a
fish for sardlnes.
1t happened that the firm who fur
nished the mutton thought 1t a good
plan to change their labels, that their
goods might be more easily distinguish
ed from others. The mark chosen was
q red dragon.
The natives came with their copra to
trade as usual. The new tins were
shown them. but they recoiled with hor-
ror and gave the trader to understand
that they had had some religious in
struction and were not to be deluded
into eating timed devil.
The trader was forced to eat his
stock Of mutton himself. for not a ma
tive could be persuaded to touch the
accused thing.

An English paper comments on the
terrible sentence recently pronounced
by a French judge. Five years soil
tary confinement is not only rigorous
penalty. but 1t is usually the fore
runner of insanity. The solitude Of

Of religion whatever they may
amount to in so dreadful a situation
are not entirely withheld; otherwise
the prisoner is forbidden to speak
even to his guardian. Books are de-
