Prosperity In Alaska.

According TO the statements of VIII
Wilzinski. who has just returned from
an extended trip in the north, in
points along the Yukon, Alaska is en-
joying far greater prosperity than is
generally supposed. Mr.. Wilzinski
states that business in the Yukon dis
trict is booming. and that all indica-
lions point to steady and rapid i'm.
provement in trade conditions all
through Alaska, with the exception of
the more remote districts.
"The large amounts of gold that
have been taken out of the claims
along the Yukon and the prospect Of
an exceptionally large cleanup next
spring have resulted in a state Of
prosperity and stability never before
seen in the northern districts" said
Mr.. Wilzinski. Merchants and min
ers have been heavy buyers of all
foodstuffs, implements and clothing,
and the majority have laid in sup
ply which is calculated to last them
all winter. During the winter season
the business in the northern part of
Alaska Is naturally restricted to some
extent by the extreme cold, and most
Of the miners and prospectors lay up
enough provisions and other articles
to last until spring, thus avoiding the
higher prices that they are compelled
to pay during the season when navi-

THE BOY AND THE RusKs.

Young Ted was most fastidious
about his eating. He was the only
one his mother mad to cook for, and
the good woman was driven nearly to
the point of distraction trying to suit
the child.
One day he eat all morning In his
room reading and nibbling peanuts.
When he came to the lunch table he
found that his mother had baked q
large pan of rusk. hoping to please
him. But he felt peevish and declar-
ed they were dry and that he couldn't
swallow them.
In the afternoon the washerwom,
ans boy came to bring few belated
clothes. The lady wrapped up the
rusks and sent them to the washer
woman, knowing that she had many
hungry mouths to feed.
At the front gate the washerwom-
ans boy met the boy of the house.
"The fellers are goln' to play foot

went in and ma stopped ironing to

JUGGLING FOR EXERCISE.

the worlds most famous jugglers
Physical exercises, he says, are apt
to become monotonous; in juggling
however. there is always something
novel to be done. "If you should

would never exhaust the possibilities

that 1t requires years of practice to

feats, such as balancing walking

II you are really fond of juggling you
will invent your own problems.
Here are few axloms: 1t is east

Up to the point where great pnysi-
cal strength is required, the larger
the object the easier 1t is to balance;
thus it is easier to balance walking
stick on your forehead than it is a
pencil.
Always look at the top of what
ever you are balancing; beginners
make the mistake of looking at the

Is Jour laughter half sheer?

There's way to lift your load,

Is your temper getting short?
Is this life blind delusion.

Causes and Cure Of Nervousness.
There are five causes of nervous
ness:
(a) Low vitality of the nervous sys'
tenn
(b) The faculties of self-mastery
being weak.
(c) Loss of sleep.
Cd The use of improper foods and
drinks.
(e) Association with erratic, ex-
citable, nervous, idiotic. insane, cynl-
cal and pessimistic people.
When the life force is constantly
leaving the body at the finger tips, at
the feet, through the eyes. at the
knees, at the hands and at the ell
bows, a person becomes nervous. In
order to overcome these losses a per-
son should learn to control every
easy eye, swinging leg, involuntary
motions, trembling voice, an I'M
easy step, jerky actions, anger, irri-
liability, pessimism, sudden starts,
etc. are signs of nervousness. I'M
less person develops his faculties
of self-mastery, unless he increase vi
tality of the nervous system. unless
he gets the sleep which is necessary
each and every day. unless he eats
the right kind of foods and drinks
the right kind of drinks, and unless
he associates with the right kind Of
1 people, he will become more nervous;
lastly, he will become physical and
mental wreck; he will become old
looking and haggard; he will die be-
fore his time.-H Human Culture.
