Alaska Building Strikes Jen'
 nings

R. W. Jennings is favorably im- pressed with the Alaska building and exhibit at the worlds fair. In writing from St. Louis, under date of Sept. 2S, where he and Mrs Jennings were visit ing the fair, Mir. Jennings says:
 "The Alaska building and exhibit at- tract a great deal of attention and ex- cite much favorable comment. The officials and attendants in charge are very courteous and obliging to Alas kans and to all visitors.
 "The two pyramids showing the rela- tive cost of Alaska with the output of the Treadwell mine excite much amazement.
 "On the whole it is most credi'able exhibit. The showing of the work of the school children opens the eyes Of many a person. Alaska cannot fail tc be vastly benefited"
 Mir. Jennings added:
 We will leave here in few days for Tennessee; thence to New York, returning to the west via Niagara falls"

 While the new rate has been ar nouuced for an indefinite time, it is really for only the last round trip of the steamers. It will not apply on the boats leaving Dawson yesterday and tJday for the south.
 The raise iu the passenger rate has Leen made because it is expected that the boats will have hard time of it on the last trip and that they might take more time than they were taking earlier in the season to make the trip. This wouldmaAe expenses much greater

A Jadici us inquiry

A we'll known travelling man who visits the drug trade says he has o'tt D heard druggists inquire of customers who asked for a cough medicine, whether It was wanted for child or for an adult md if for a child they almost invariably recommend Chamberlain's Cough Rem edy. The reason for this is that they know there is DO danger from it and that it always cures. There is not the least danger in giving it, and for coughs, colds or croup it is unsurpassed.

TEAS THAT ARE
WORTH FORTUNES
Twelve Hundred Kinds Are In China's
Show at the Worlds Fairs..The Most
POpulOus Nation of the World For
the First Time Makes an Exhibit
Worthy of Her Greatness.

Many expositions of stupendous char
acter make up the Worlds Fair Of
1904. Each part is a vast and distinct
show. Each building shelters many
acres of wonderful things-wonderful
because they arc the choicest Of their
kind. Every nation on the globe is
represented. Every state and territory
is here with it's best and making the
most of it's greatest opportunity.
The fact that China has not been a
large exhibitor at worlds fairs gives
to her great exhibit here a prominence
quite exceptional. 1t is a wonderland
Of ingenious productions. We know
China best by reason of her extensive
exports of teas, which have found a
vast market in the United States for
generations. Her commercial interests
therefore prompted her to make Il dis
play Of teas that we should not for
get.
In sealed glass jars China displays in
the Liberal Arts Palace some 1900
kinds of tea. Young Hyson and Old
Hyson have a string OF tea relations
longer than the genealogical chain of a
Plymouth Rock. They are neatly Sc
1ected ''chops," in the language OF the
tea farmer, and these classes do not
embrace medicinal teas, which are
quite another lot in the rather modest
number of 400.
The teas exhibited vary in price from
a few cents Il pound to some rare and
exclusive kinds that are worth their
weight in gold, the tea in the latter
cases being placed on II side Of the
scales and pure gold OH the other
that is to say, the tea Of this expensive
kind is worth about $50 gold an ounce.
Only a very small quantity Of this ex-
elusive leaf is exhibited. and it is
grown in carefully guarded teal planta-
lions or gardens right under the shad-
ows Of the great wall Of China. Its cul;
tivation is prohibited for any use save
for the imperial family Of China and a
few of the favored high officials.
Mention has been made Of the word
"chop'' in connection with tea, and it
may be interesting to the everyday
reader to know what the word actually
signifies. The tea leaf is grown in va
rious districts of the Chinese empire on
