Prosperity in Alaska.

According to the statements of VIII
Wilzinski, who has just returned from
an extended trip in the north, in
which he visited all the important
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 a steady and rapid inn
provement in trade conditions all
through Alaska, with the exception of
the more remote districts.
1.-THE large amounts of gold that
nave 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.. Wi1zinski. 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-
cation on the Yukon becomes impos-

FAKE ACCIDENTS HIS GRAFT.
Pape's Broken Vertebra Fooled Many
Surgeons.

BY means of a broken vertebra, re-
ceived during career as circus per-
former, Edward L. Pape, "a, of New
York, has succeeded for three years
In mulcting railroad and trolley COM
panies out of thousands of dollars in
fake damages.
In signed confession obtained in
Philadelphia by the Rapid Transit
Company, Pape tells how he worked
the big companies of New York, Chi
cago, Cleveland and Buffalo success
fully He had turned States evidence
on the men who were connected with
him. Two of these, John Burns and
John Wilmott, were arrested, while
the police are after a New York law
yer, who Pape says, did the gangs le-
gal business.
Pape was held under $4,000 bail for
court, while his two confederates, who
are confined in a workhouse in Cleve-
land. will be taken to New York where
they will face a number of serious
charges.
Pape, who was the leader OF the
gang, has a peculiar physical asset
that was most valuable to him in
these schemes. Time after time,
after he had apparently been hurled
from a moving street car, he has been
taken to hospitals of various cities in
an unconscious condition. Doctors at
these institutions, after making an
X-ray examination, would declare that
he had either a fracture of the skull
or an injury to the vertebrae.
With his confederates for witness
rs to the accident and the endorse
fnent of the physicians, Pape would
have case for damages that could
not be attacked.
He did have an injury to the fifth
vertabre, but this was received as
result of diving from height of forty
feet into vat containing six feet of
water. A misca1culation caused Pape
to strike his head against the side of
the vat. When he recovered from the
effects of this accident, which broke
vertabra there was lump on the
back of the neck, and the muscles OF
the front of the neck had taken Pc
culiar formation BY stimulating the
actions Of a man who had his spine
injured, he could, by the aid Of these
physical evidences, fool any doctor

Keepinp Honey.

When it is intended to keep honey
for household use there is no necessity
to bottle it off in small bottles, a large
stoneware jar being about as good a
vessel as any to keep the honey in I'M
til wanted. 1t is popularity supposed
that after the hives have been packed
and quilted in readiness to meet the
winter the bee-keeper must perforce
remain idle until the spring again
comes round, but if the bee-keeper so
wishes he need never be at loss for
something to do. For one thing, all
the section crates and holders need to
be thoroughly gone over, not only
scrubbing, scraping, and cleaning, but
also doing any repairs that may be
deemed necessary. After this the way
to do is to wrap them up in old news
papers, which keeps them clean and
free from cobwebs until again wanted

Grass for Stock Feed.

Some grasses have harsh heritage,
the outer cells of the leaves and stems
containing too much silica. This sub
stance is not needed by animals, and
when abundant is not acceptable to
them. Other grasses have a covering
Of hairs, either short and sharp, or
long and silky. These hairs are not
easily digested, and are disagreeable
to the animal. Such grasses are to be
avoided A comparatively smooth
grass, with no tendency to secrete too
much silica, is the best, SO far as
texture is concerned. An English au-
thority sums up the desirable qualities
in a forage grass as follows: The
grasses whose leaves exhibit fine
grain, are developed without much
woody fiber and are sweet at the
nodes Goints) will be Of the highest
feeding character.

Three Acres and a Cow.

The term three acres and a cow"
which was at one time quite promi-
nent in English farm discussions, was
originally suggested as remedy for
the lack of employment among me-
chanics and laborers. The idea was
that If each workman could secure
possession of a small place, he would
become. In a measure, independent
during period Of hard times. The
actual suggestion was three and one
quarter acres, the 0ne-fourth acre tio
be devoted to an orchard in which
the COW could Craze occasionally
The rest of the land he desired to de-
vote as follows: Potatoes, one-half
acre; turnips, one-fourth acre; winter
yetch, one-half acre; spring vetch, one
fourth acre; barley, wheat or oats,
hree-fourths acre; clover and grass,
three-fourths acre He estimated that
the product of this land would be
worth about one hundred dollars, and
would keep the occuDier above actual
want.

Feed and Bedding for Horses.

The litter for horses should be cut
in two-inch lengths, as it makes bet
ter bedding and manure than long lit
ter. Rake it under the manger In the
daytime, SO that it may be kept clean
Salt is a great essential for the horse;
in fact, he cannot do without it; give
him a little twice a week. Do not feed
horses much corn In summer, as it is
very heating. A mixture of ground
oats and corn is excellent for them.
The giving of water to horses is very
carelessly attended to; it should al
ways be given before feeding, that it
may not wash the feed along with 1t.
A crop Of carrots grown and fed to
the horses will always make a profit

stint work horses, as they should be

on as easily as it can be kept on Oats

The Butter Eye.

A yellowish tinge in the skin is con-
sidered a point of great Importance In
Jersey cattle. How much foundation
there may be for it has never been
satisfactorily determined, but there is
an impression among certain breeders
that the presence Of an orange circle
around the eye is indicative Of the
ability Of the COW possessing it to
not only produce a great yield of but
ter, but give butter Of good quality
and the highest flavor.

The Soush Beetle.

In regard to remedies for the squash
beetle. some growers intimately mix
a teaspoonful each Of kerosene and
spirits of turpentine with half gal
lon of finely ground land plaster, scat
tering a small quantity Of the mixture
around each plant or over the nil.
While this method may cause the bugs
to leave for awhile, yet. it does not
destroy them. simply sending them to
other plants. The object should be to
destroy as many as possible, as well
as to get rid of them by any method.

Gar1ic-Tainted Milk.

A dairyman states that he was trou-
bled with the smell of garlic or wild
onions in the milk from his COWS. To
obviate this he put the cows in the
stable about three o'clock each after
noon, and fed them on hay, giving
them their grain as usual The result
was all that he anticipated. A rest OF
three hours allowed the odor to pass
off in the other secretions, though
previously it very strongly favored
both the milk and butter. The same
course would probably be of advant-
age when the milk has the odor of
other weeds in the pasture.
