ATE THEIR DOG
Fearful Sufferings of Two Men Lost
 in the Far North

Seattle, Wash.-A dispatch to the Post Intellligencer from Dawson says: :: Reduced to starvation in the Arctic wilderness in the Yukon region, Victor Virgil Lowery and John Bevins of Dawson maintained their lives on dog and porcupine flesh. The story of the suffering and hardships of the men has just reached here by mail.
 The two men were en route from Dawson to the Koyukuk diggings. They left Dawson October 1. The men got lost in the wilderness and on the fifth day their food became exhausted. They had no gun with which to shoot game and not asliving soul nor place of refuge was known to be within hundreds of miles. Lowery's dog, the only available source of food, was killed and eaten. The flesh from the animal did not last long, and after travelling two days more without a mouthful of food the men came upon a young porcupine, which, they ran down, clubbed to death and devoured.
 Twenty days after they had started out the men wandered into a wood choppers camp on the Yukon almost dead.

Optical Illusion.

A firm which was sued in an English court for the price of a sign defended the case 3n the ground that the 70" iu their name was smaller than the other letters. It was proved by meas- lrement. however. that it was q six teenth of an inch larger, allowance having been made for the fact that, owing to an optical Illusion. the letter 70" always looks smaller than the neighboring letters. Judgment was given for the signmakers.

SomS Household Hints

Wooden spoons are the best to use in mixing foods, as they make less noise while stirring. The slitted wooden cake spoons are considered best of all, as they inclose more air in the mixture while beating than an ordi- nary spoon would do.
 Always use a silver fork for beating all egg instead of steel one, as the phosphorus of the yolk attracts the s:eel and forms disagreeable salt. [
 Dish towels should be washed out in warm suds, rinsed and dried after each dish washing, and once week they should go into the laundry.
 When boiled potatoes are strained take them at once to the open door er window and give them a vigore us shaking in the draught. This will make them quite white and mealy.
 Sometimes the best results are eb- tained in custard making through the medium of a glass fruit jar and a kettle ot boiling water. Put the cus- tard in the jar, seal it. as tightly as possible and set it in kettle of cold water. The water should be allowed to come to boil slowly. Cook the custard until it sets and then put it in cool place. Farmers Tribune.

 Nobody ever outlived Rheumatism; the disease never loosens its grip or leaves of its own accord, but must be driven out by intelligent and persist ent treatment through the blood, for Rheumatism of every variety and form is caused by an over acid condition of the blood, and the deposit in muscles, joints and nerves of corrosive poisons and gritty particles, and it is these irritating substances that produce the inflammation, swelling and pains, which last as long as the blood remains in this sour and acid state.

A VISIT TO FARMLAND

I had been reading fairy stories and
I wondered if there wasn't some way 1
could go to fairyland and prove that
the enchanting little people and things
were real. I guess I must have looked
my thoughts, for my Aunt Isabel,
who came in just then, said:
What's the matter? You look
worried"
IT want to go to fairyland, and I
don't know how" I replied.
We'll, do you know, have an idea, y
answered my aunt you ask your
mother if you can take ride with me,
and I'll take you to fairyland.''
oh I said, may really go?''
Yes, if you'll hurry and get your
things on
You can imagine 7 was ready in a
jiffy, and we went out. I expected to
be led thru a door in the earth or
something, but 10 and behold, my aunt
led me to an ordinary street car. We
got on, rode for about three-quarters
of an hour and then we got off. My
aunt opened q, very ordinary wooden
door, led me up a, staircase, thru an
other door and was in fairyland.
The sight I saw before me was this:
Rows and rows Of tiny houses, stores,
groceries, markets. and all just like
our big ones Here was a railroad
track with the train standing before
the station and the track going thru
tunnels and past beautiful scenery.

there is a theater.

fairy dealing out her wares for tiny
bits of fairy money. Next door to
that. a grocery store with a little de-
livery wagon in front of it and here, in
the door, was a cunning basket the
shape of d bushel basket, lying over on
its side, partly filled with potatoes no
bigger than beans.
And in the meat market across the
street is quantity of tiny
chickens, geese, ducks. turkeys,
sausages, roast beef, chops, veal,
mutton all the meat you can
think of. The clerk was weigh
scales you ever saw. Right around
the corner l saw bridal party COM
ing out of a house; a, bride all in white
satin, leaning on the arm of a groom
who was quite an extraordinary
height, being at least inches tall
Now after looking at all these little
things it suddenly occurred to me that
while I had been there, the little peo-
pie had not moved or spoken, but that
my presence had seemed to cast a sort
of spell of immovable silence over
them. When l asked Aunt Isabel the
reason for this, she replied that it was
because the presence of mortals al
ways cast this spell over the fairies I'M

J would like to tell you more about
the little people. but I haven't time, so
I'll tell you how you can go and see

corner of Fourth street, and then look
