LETTERS FROM HOME.
Pathetic Incidents of the Life of Miners
In the klcndike.

ESSSiS 'hCiuents OF the ife OF minofo
In the kIcndike.
One of the most pathetic things
in Jeremiah Lynch's "Three Years
In the klondike" is the story of the
eagerness of the men in that land
of exile for letters from home. When
the postoffice was opened at Daw-
son the miners would crowd in from
ell over the country when they heard
mail had arrived. The ignorance
Of the postal clerks was exasperat-
ing, as may be judged from the fol-
lowing conversation:
"Is there not letter for me
James Culverhouse?"
"No."
ffBut I am sure there must be
one" said the e1plofer in an appeal
ing voice.
81 tell you there ain's any. Move
away and give another man g
chance" said the official.
The miner started to leave with g
detected countenance, but as the
clerk was putting q bunch of dirty
letters back into the little receptacle
marked &c" the man cried:
"Why, there it is-there it is, the
first letter in your hand! Don't I
know my wife's handwriting?" he
almost shouted in his excitement.
"Give it to me right away"
The employee, almost grudgingly
and without excuse, gave the ap-
plicant the letter that otherwise he
might never have seen again.
Still more picturesque is the incl
dent that occurred the next day at
tire Dawson postoffice. The line re-
mained unshortened, and the eager
ness of the men could hardly be kept
within bounds.
"a heavily bearded giant from Do
minion Creek called out to a slight
man, the fifteenth ahead:
,"What will you take for your
place in line, pard?"
Twenty dollars" was the prompt
reply.
. "An right; here's the cheese"
and they exchanged places.
It brought the big man that much
nearer home.

A gentleman travelling under the

not resist giving vent to a mighty

knew where, his fellow travellers
were almost frightened out of their
wits. Result-case before the Beak.

Girls A2d Honey Culture.

Two sisters, orphans one nineteen,
the other twenty-four--went from New
York city to the country four years
ago and with the aid Of small legacy
started q bee farm. They studied the
subject thoroughly and at the end OF
their second year had Q surplus Of $3.50
in the bank. The third year inoress-
ed their balance to s1,100, and the
profits Of the fourth year were little
over 81 200. They have reduced their
vocation to suoh scientific basis that
they look forward confidently to a re-
surn Of $1,000 for their fifth year.
The demand for the honey they pro-
duce is far in excess Of the supply,
for dealers have learned that the girls
arc conscientious and produce an ar
ticle that is the genuine nectar Of the
flowers of the field, and not che mo-
lasses fed stuff that the proprietors of
so many apiaries palm off on their GUS
toners. Sagacious as the bee is: she
will sip as readily from shallow pans
of sugar and water or molasses and
water as she will from the heart Of the
clover blossom, and where vegetation
is sparse the artificial food will support
immense colonies Of bees that other
wise would desert territory bare of
natural food. The girls have culti-
vated hundreds of bowers Of honey
suckle and have planted fields Of clo-
yer to keep their bees and at the same
time get the genuine article.
