CHINESE PosToFFICE.

Mrs. H. r. Ford of the China In
land Mission at Tai-kang, in the CEN
trail province Of Honan, I'M q letter 70
her family. has some amusing things
to tell about the establishment or the
Chinese Imperial Post in the PROV
ince. which is some weeks journey
from the coast. She says;
1--WE have got the Chinese Imperial
Post here now. At Kai-feng, when
thev first got it, the post Office clerks
had a fight with some men who
bought stamps and wanted the clerks
to lick them and put them on the
letters. They said the clerks We're
there to lick the stamps, and paid for
the business, and they Wouldn't mex
them. But the clerks wouldn't agree
to lick them, so they came to blows
and the police had to come in and
separate them.
s.Here at Tai-kang, the man who
has got the post office has begun Well.
Harry was in his shop when the f1rst
customer came for a stamp. 1t took
him nearly five minutes to find the
kew and get the stamp box open, and
when he gave it to the man ne SAID
| in a very decided way: Now lick lt
and put it Just there The customer
was foolish Tor wise) enough to do 50
and now a custom has been establish
ed in Tai-kang that all purchasers OF
stamps must lick them and stick
them on. There was great row at
the Kai-feng Post Office one day be
cause an address on letter could
not be found and the letter was
brought back.
The sender wanted his money
back because the letter had not been
| delivered, but the clerk refused TO
give it to him, contending that they
had had more trouble over it than If
it had been delivered. AnothcS man
was determined to get the post office
clerks into trouble because he had
sent a letter some time ago and re-
| ceived no answer. This was clear
proof. he said. that the letter had
| never been sent. The service here

cigar or pipe between my lips, and
yet, strange as it may sound, on nu-
merous occasions find myself puff
ing out huge clouds of smoke drawn
from the most fragrant Havanas that
ever were given to solace mankind.
"These smokes, let it be understood

indulgence was a reality, Curiously

The first road put in operation there
was called the 'sWild Goose Railroad"
and has lately been acquired by the
Nome-Arctic Railway company. The
first rails were laid in the summer of
1890 and the enterprise was financial
success from the start.
During the last few months the
Nome Arctic company has extended the
line to Dexter Creek, and securing a
franchise to enter Nome has built a
station In central part OF the city
and added three spurs to facilitate the
handling Of freight. This spring work
was begun on line to Council City.

COLoRs NOT EASY TO SEE.

What color is least easily seen at
distance? One would naturally say
some dull neutral tint. sombre or
brown. This has been the conclusion
Of most military men. and our brilli-
ant uniforms have given way for
practical campaigning to khaki and
other dull colors Is this a mistake
Possibly SO, according to the results
obtained in recent experiments in
England. 1t has been found there
that masses of dull colors are much
more CONSPICUOUS at distance than
mixtures of bright tints. For instance
a battery of field artillery whose car
r1ages and caissons were decorated
with stripes of red, blue and yellow
could be made out with difficulty al
a thousand yards. while other batter.
ies painted a uniform brown or drah
were easily seen at great distances,
IT would seem as If on the same
principle. a regiment of gayly dressed
troops might be less easily visible
than one wholly garbed in dull colored
khaki.

RAIL WAYS in ALASKA
TOUR SYSTEMS NOW BUILDING
Or I'm OPERATION.
Travel in the Great Northern Ter
ritory Now Matter of Ease
and Comfort More
Lines Proposed.

There is a vast difference between
journeying in Alaska to-day and jour-
neying in Alaska few years ago
When the first rush Of the gold seekers
occurred there was no means OF COM
muneiation between the Klondike and
the outside world but the dog sledges
and the rivers. RIO fget to the gold
fields men suffered untold hardships.
and after they were there paid starva-
tion prices for food. When The Nome
fields were discovered men Travelled to
the peninsula in boats, but to get In
land meant many hours of hard walk
Ing. In the interior Of the great ter
Titory one was as completely shut OF
from the world as though stranded upon
desert island in the middle Of the
ocean. OF news there was none save
at long intervals when brought in by
newcomers, and 1t was weeks old be-
fore 1t reached the camps.
To-day the telegraph wire carries Its
messages throughout all the gold
camps, aud the result OF the big bat
ties in the far east may be known at
Dawson almost as soon at it Is in Chi
cago. In modes Of transportation the
dog sled has given place to the railroad
train, and travel in the far north IL
now a luxury instead of a hardship.
A glance at the map will give one an
idea of the railroads now in operation.
under construction or proposed. So
great has been the recent development
of Alaska that there are now four dis
finct railroad systems in full or par
tial operation In the territory, two 9TH
ers in preliminary stage OF construc-
ton and several projected. All of the
principal .centers Of population are con-
nected with the outside world by tele-
graph, and military cable line, 1900
miles in length, will be completed this
summer between Seattle and Juneau,
giving an alternate route for CONNER
, cial business.
The construction of the Council City
& Soloman River railroad, the first OF
standard gauge to be put in operation
In Alaska, has demonstrated the pos
sibility Of building in the far north a
roadbed practically as solid as that OF
any Of the best equipped systems In the
United States. The tundra, or Arctic
bog land, has been conquered by sys-
TEN of thorough drainage

jected in northwestern Alaska will
