ADVENTURE NO. o.

She FOregathers With the Real Old
Sea Serpent.
The sea serpent's supreme regret
Is that he is nobodys pet.
The reason why this thing is so
Is that no one admits, you know,
That sea serpents exist at all;
So naturally they feel small.
You, too, would feel it a sad lot
If folk insisted you were not;
And IL you will consider this,
You'll understand the creatures Bliss
For he thought: Now I'll prove to

Fire Department.

Under the able management of sam Lynch, the fire department apparatus is being put in shape to be ready for service at any time. Several improvements have been made in the apparatus. A sled has been purchased as a substi- tate for the hose reel. It is light and easily handled, and will carry all of the hose, which is slowed on the sled in such a manner as to be easily and rapidly uncoiled.
 The engine has been mounted upon runners SO that it can be readily handled on a fairly good trail. Fifteen men can move the engine with ease to any of the wells about town.

There are two fram building in the town and number of tents. There is about the same amount of snow as at Valdez, and the winds have been very bad. A wind from the outside caused very heavy surf in the harbor, which broke up the only lighter at the place.
 Wages were $2.50 per day, and board. $1. The men were laid off about half the time.

POSTAL ODDITIES.

With one exception there has been a
deficit in postal revenues every year
since 1885.
Thousands of letters are mailed ev-
cry day without the vestige Of an ad-
dress to indicate for whom they are in
tended.
Mail matter Of any kind addressed
in q vague and indefinite way, such as
to 'the most prominent physician"
etc, is not deliverable.
Benjamin Franklin, first postmaster
general, boosted that under his admin
istration all the cities of the country
had been provided with a weekly mail.
One may mail a letter destined for
foreign parts without prepayment of
postage. 1t will go forward to destina-
ton, and the recipient will be required
to pay double rates for the privilege of
reading it If he values it sufficiently.
At the Chicago post Office a record is
kept of the different ways of spelling
the name of that city on mail address
es. At last accounts $50 varieties had
been tabulated Among the less intri-
cate of these are ZizaZo, Jagjago, Hipa-
no, Jajijo and Chachicho.

quently obliged to leave a chapter in

The most remarkable testimony OF
this kind is perhaps that of Sir Thomas
Browne, who declared that, if it were
possible, he would prefer to carry OF
his studies in his dreams, so much
more efficient were his faculties Of

Nerves are the disease of the present

also a malady of dogs. A friend of mine
owned dog which suddenly one day
was seized with an attack of nerves.
Since then it has been very Ill, wander
ing necessarily round and round the
room, refusing food, but still recognize
ing its owner. Another little dog suf-
fered from hysteria in consequence of

rendering dogs more delicate and
more susceptible, had done them a
distinct physical injury. - London
