CAT CANNOT SUCK BREATH.

Can cat really suck the breath OF
q child?
We have always heard that it could.
Away back in early childhood we dis
tinctly remember of frequent warnings
to look out for the cat. Do not allow
the cat to get into bed with you, es-
pecially to get into bed with the baby,
as it is liable to suck the baby's breath
which would cause the baby to die.
Is there any foundation for such
notion as this? We never could dis
cover any real meaning to the belief
that cat can suck the breath of a
child. Indeed, the sentence is totally
unintelligible.
What is meant by sucking the
breath? 1t may be true that the cat.
attracted by the breath of a child who
had recently been nursing, might at
tempt to interfere in some manner
with the child's mouth. In young
cats the impulse to nurse might be ex-
cited by the smell of the child's breath.
1t is barely possible that the cat
might be seized with desire to bite
or to devour the child's lips or tongue,
lured on by the smell of milk. We
are not in position to deny possibili-
ties. Maybe they are true.
But not any of these suggestions
furnish basis for the statement that
the cat is liable to suck the child's
breath. We have always heard this
statement with shudder of horror.
1t seems to convey some wierd, horri-
BILE tragedy that can hardly be imag-
ined. But it is mere fancy, the orr
gin of which is hard to explain.
Yet we should advise mothers to be
careful about leaving the infant with
the cat. We do not favor the idea of
cats sleeping with children. Nor 90
we favor the practice of children play
ing with cats, handling them, mopping
them around the floor, fondling them,
dressing them up as dolls. 1t is not
good for the cat. 1t is not good for
the child. Neither cats or dogs ought
to be treated in this manner. They
are all right in their place, but they
are not fit for playthings.
If the superstition that : cat can
suck child's breath has operated as
preventive to mothers allowing their
children to play with cats 1t has serv-
ed very good purpose, but such
childish notions ale hardly compatible
with mature reflection. 1t is one of
the old wives fables which may have
served good purpose, but it is too
ridiculous for repetition. There are
other and better reasons why the cat
and baby should not be left together
than the vague, unintelligible fear that
the cat will suck the child's breath

BEFORE IT Is TOO LATE.

If you have gray-haired mother
In the old home far away,
Sit you down and write the letter
You put Off from day to day.
Don't wait until her weary steps
Reach heavens pearly gate,
But show her that you think Of her
Before it is too late.
If you have tender message
Or loving word to say,
Don't wait until you forget it,
But whisper it today.
Who knows what bitter memories
May haunt you if you wait?
So make your loved one happy
Before it is too late.
The tender word unspoken.
The letters never sent,
The long forgotten messages,
The wealth of love unspent-
For these some hearts are breaking.
For these some loved ones wait.
Show them that you care for them
Before it is too late.

 Alaskan forests consist of white spruce, hemlock, fir, red and yellow cedar, scrub pine, red and white birch, cottonwood and willows, with small

N. A. Fuller, manager of the Yukon Telephone Syndicate, who was hurt jumping from hotel during the fire, may not recover. At one time Fuller was assistant manager of the Treadwell mines on Douglas Island. He with Capt James Carroll and others once owned the Bears Nest mine, which at one time was supposed to be a contin- nation of the famous Treadwell.
 A grain weigtt of gold, if put into the form of a sphere, would be about the size of a Mo- shot, with diameter of .073015 inches. This sphere, if made of pure gold and we'll annealed, could be drawn into a wire 800 feet long or could be beaten into leaf which would cover ffty-six square inches. The thick ness of the leaf of gold thus made would be .28O of an inch and such a leaf would transmit light of a dark green color.
 Nearly one-half million dollars of gold dust has been shipped out on the last two boats leaving this port. The Cottage City on Tuesday night took out S224,0OO and the Dolphin had 5240,- GOO locked up in the big safe as she left the dock last night. The major portion .of these shipments came out from Dawson and is being shipped by the Alaska Pacific Express Co.,, to the Se- attle assay office and the assay office at San Francisco.-Skagway Guide.
 Klondike is expected to enrich Seattle and the remainder of the outside world this year fully 813,OOO,oOO. By Klon- dike is meant strictly that portion of tbe British Yukon within radius of fifty miles of Dawson City. The great bulk of the dust has been taken outy and is being shipped outside by steam CT every week. Within three weeks the sluicing for the year will have been finished and the gold shipped to Seattle. The spectacle of large iron boxes filled with the potent dust being laden on steamers at Dawson attracted little at tention these days, but the golden stream moves unceasingly, and Seattle is the chief beneficiary.
 It is estimated that the early frosts have curtailed the summer cleanup in the Rampant district fully S1O0,00O The abundance of water in July and August had enabled the miners to groundsluice and get much ground in condition for shoveling in. With two or three weeks continuous soft weather a lot of money may yet be taken from this ground; but the season has ad- vanced so far that every hour counts and the time already lost means much. The Eagle company quit for the season S25, 900 short of what they reasonably eypected. The What Cheer Bar com pany will probably fall S10,O00 below what would have been accomplished with normal weather; Johnson & spicer. on Eureka, 5000; Johnson & Jordan, on Seattle Bar, several thous- and; Ott & Swanson's hydraulic plant, on Hunter-Louie Shequin, Frank and Graham, Peck and Laboski, on Little Minook, all considerable amounts. The Hoosier hydraulic company were not delayed in washing down; and with favorable weather may yet reach cleanup-Yukon Valley News.

The body of man was found burned to death in the fire which did S200,000 damage in the center of Dawson. The coronor's jury was not we'll enough satisfied to declare the identity of the body, but it feels almost certain that it was that of Harry Kaplan, son of Mrs. Alexander Kaplan, well-to do woman at l1O4 Eddy street, San Francisco.
 More gold has been shipped from Dawson to the outside world the first three months of open river on the Yu, kon this year than for the same period last year. During June, July and Aug ust of this year the shipments to the outside aggregated $7,O10,306. In June, July aud August of last year, that is, in 1903, the shipments were S6,727, ,918.
 The mere posting of location notice claiming a water right gives no good litte unless the water so claimed is used for some useful purpose. Unless this provision was made there would be grave danger of all streams being taken up by spectators who would do noth- ing themselves, but who would tax others who really wanted to use the water.
 The Cook Inlet Coal Fields Company has opened at Homer the most exten- sive coal mine yet developed in Alaska. That company has built a wharf of 38O feet and railroad eight miles long from the mines to deep water. It be- gan operations in 1899 and has opened six-foot vein with an investment of about S2OO,OOO. About 2,OOO tons have been taken from this mine, 500 of which have been sold to passing steamers at SC per ton.
 'If we could step into the future fifty years it would be to see at least l,00O,- GOO men mining in Alaska" says Henry J. Powers, a veteran mining engineer and expert. "That number would be found wrestling mineral wealth-gold, copper and Iead-from the districts on either side of the great Yukon. In other words, the line of fortune-seekers would extend from Juneau and Skag- way across to and down the Yukon and around to Nome."
 Another Arctic exploring expedition has returned without posting bill on the north pole advising those who may later wander that way to "Drink Rocky Mountain Tea" or "Give the Baby Cas- toria." Hunting for the north pole has become a fad like holding horticultural fairs in the Yukon. It costs whole lot of money without reducing freight charges or the price of whisky. The chances are if the north pole is found some fellow will make application for a townsite for Pole City.-EX.
 For the past two months the various vessels engaged in trade along the in side passage have all carried full car goes of general merchandise and per ishabIes. The amount of freight taken to Skagway for shipment to White horse has been very heavy. The Yukon river will soon close to navigation, and the White Pass (S Yukon Railroad is making an effort to ship what freight is now at White Horse to Dawson be- fore the close of the season. Lake At lin will probably close to navigation the latter part of this month.
