at Fairbanks, Alaska.

Reports of great restitution and threat
ened starvation among the inhabitants of
Fairbanks, Alaska. having reached the
War Department through communication
of the mayor of that place addressed to
Senator Nelson, with the request that the
department afford relief by the sale of
rations In limited quantities. Gen. Funston,
commanding the department of the Column
bia. was directed to make an investigation
and TO take such steps as would conserve
the public peace while affording relief.
While Gen. Funston was carrying out these
instructions Capt. O. A. Nesmith stationed
al Fort Egbert, Alaska, wired the depart
ment that he had received information from
Lieut. Richard who was at Fairbanks a s
late as December d. that he neither saw
nor heard of any famine; that there had
been a shortage of supplies oceasioned by
an early freeze. but that freighting has
been going on steadily and that game
seemed plentiful
Under date of the 4th instant Gen. Fun
ston telegraphed the War Department that
he had instituted inquiry to how many
rations could be spared. He adds that If
the case is desperate as reported the
only remedy is for the people TO make their
way along the telegraph line, where there
Is a trail TO the towns of Rampant. Tanana
or Eagle where commercial companies have
food for sale Gen. Funston suggests that
abIe-bodted men capable of travelling who
would sit down at Fairbanks and await
government relief are entitled TO little con-
sideration because. he says, they can within
ten days reach Dawson or any OF the three
towns mentioned, where there are abundant
supplies for sale He sarcasticaly states
mat IL these men heard of a gold strike
they would snow-shoe thousand miles.

French Scientific Prizes.

Some valuable awards for scientific re-
search have recently been made public.
In the current number of the Illustrated
Scientific News. Mr.. T. f. James compares
the prizes of science in this and other

awards are generally honorifc We give
medals, and allow to the original dis
coVerer the glory of his success and the
payment of his own expenses. In France
they manage things of this kind in
more practical spirit. For example, Nine
Curie has on three occasions since 1897
received the Corner prize of 3,S00f (f152)
for her radium Inquiries. The Paris
Academy of Sciences is the trustee of
gifts amounting to thousands of pounds
Mr.. James observes that at "the end of
the present month (Which. by the way
marks the close of the two hundredth

SIMPLE POINTS IN COOKERY.

few points for the American cook 10 renern-
Der II she is TO emulate the gentle OF the
French chef may not be found amiss.
Never make piecrust in room. and
never mix it with a spoon. but with ice cold
knife Use only ice water in moistening the pastry
and shortening. The shortening should be cold
and firm Butter makes the best pastry. II is
false economy TO substitute anything else for IT,
Bake piecr1lst In a very hot oven not so hot
that II Will burn before the lower crust is done
ana yet hot enough to prevent the shortening from
melting before Il browns II oven Is or
less slow the lard butter will ooze out and
make the dough a heavy mass All piecrust should
be thoroughly chilled tust before It is put in the
oven.
Never beat and stir whites OF egg. but whip
them IN light firm strokes. II the recipe calls for
well whipped whites, never eggs that refuse
10 be whipped to froth stiff enough to be cut
with a knife. Too long whipping OF egg whites
however will sometimes make them tough.
In boiling sceanling buildings never allow the
water 10 stop bubhling for more than moment
the ksttle when the water begins TO boil down.
In rsSard 10 seasoning IT IS better 10 adhere
strictly TO the recipe ones taste is not often the
best guide in this matter. Some women really
seem 20 be lacking In the sense Of taste. though
they Will seldom admit Il. What 10 them Is de-
