Skagway Should Makes Its
 Advantages Known

That Skagway is a summer resort par excellence and that the people of the city should organize for the pur- pose of making the fact known 10 the world is the conviction of s. A. Craw- ford. a wealthy Riverside, Cal, orange grower who has been here for 10 days. Mir. Crawford came from his southern home for his health and he has been so greatly benefited that he will come again next year with his family and a number of friends. He Is even con- sidering purchasing place for a sum- mer cottage.
 "The people of Skagway,' said Mr. Crawford, should hire a good man to put his time iu at Los Angeles, San Francisco and other southern cities, telling the people what they have up here. If everyone down there knew that you have such scenery, such a summer climate, such hunting and fish ing grounds, such excellent water, such mountain climbing and so many ways for one to build up the system and to secure at the same time such entertain ing and interesting recreation, as 70 | have, your town would be filled with people from May to October.
 "It is quite a distance to Alaska from the ceuters of population, but the trip is healthful, comfortable aud pleasant, and one can make 1t and live here as cheaply as he can go to the sweltering summer resorts down there. "I am coming here next year with my family"
 Mir. Crawford will go south on the Dolphin tonight.

OLDhAGE PENSION.
Much Attention Given in France to
the Care of the INDECENT.

France evidently does not believe
that the old should be chloroformed
and put out of the way, for, according
to official reports received from United
States officials located at Paris, that
government has system of pension
ing for the aged. For more than a
century the French government has
been experimenting with schemes for
giving an annuity to the old, not, how
ever with entire success.
At the present time deposits are re-
ceived from any person, regardless of
age, but the amount may not exceed
500 francs ($9G50) in the course of a
year. An count may be opened for a
child of three years of age; a married
woman may deposit money without her
husbands consent. At any age be-
tween fifty and sixty-fve Tor earlier

Practical Farm Experiments.

OF the various publications Of the
Department of Agriculture the most
useful and probably the most popular,
Is a farmers bulletin issued five or
six times a year on experiment station
work. practical Farm Experiments"
would probably be a comprehensive
title for these bulletins, as each
pamphlet of about 80 pages is COM
posed of a dozen or fifteen short de-
scriptions Of practical farm matters,
the outcome of the experiments and
tests of the variocs government eX-
pertinent stations all over the country.
Their value lies largely in the fact
that each article is only couple of
pages in length and it can be picked
up and read through at odd moments,
whereas when a farmer receives a
longer bulletin he is more likely to lay
it away for some future reading when
he has more time, and as time is usu-
ally pressing on the farm, it is likely
never to get read. at all.
Farmers Bulletin No. 233 is the
last issue of these bulletins and its lit
tie stories are decidedly interesting.
Informa ton given on the root system
of field crops will be a surprise to
probably even some of the best in
formed farmers. An illustration is
shown of corn roots as they occupy
the ground in the corn rows. 1t shows

about most startling results. This
year the most successful of the de-

The Mrs. Roosevelt Chrysanthemum.
Secretary Wilson was so pleased
with this Seeding of 1905" that he
authorized it named Mrs. Roosevelt,
in honor of the first lady of the land.
But the departments experiments
along the line of chrysanthemum
crossing are not always success.
Last spring efforts We're made to
cross two varietes-Merza and Lieu

with the hope of producing a combina-
ton of value. When the flower of the
new plant unfolded itself it presented
an ugly mass of brown, red, yellow
and white, and of but ordinary size.

a tendency to go back to single petal

Coffee For the Army.

The yearly contract for supplying
coffee for the United States Army is
about to be let by the Quartermaster
General, and the Department of Ag-
riculture has been called upon to de
eide which brand shall be purchased.
This test was made under the super
vision of DR.. Wiley, Chief of the Bu-
reau of chemistry. He selected a jury
of veteran coffee drinkers who know
and can tell good coffee from bad by
flavor and by the odor with the pot at
probably hundred yards distant. The
jury assembled in DR.. Wiley's office,
where the bureau cook had prepared
several small lots Of coffee from the
samples submitted. They were tested

annuity may not exceed 1900 francs
($23i.60).
In rural districts the tax gatherer is
empowered to receive deposits, and in
many factories n certain percentage is
deducted from the wages and paid to
the CaisSe in the worl;man's name. A
branch of the Caisse may be founded
in any town or village, with the per-
mission of the project of the depart
ment, and there are about 2,300 of such
branches, with nearly 100000 de-
positors.
There are several large institutions
for the care Of the INDECENT aged. Some
of these are free and q, others a small
charge is made for board and lodging.
At Issy, near Paris, is an institution
for widowers, widows, or married
couples, of whom both are over sixty
five years of age and who have been
married at least fifteen years.
There are many small institutions

After the test the jury was dismissed
and the members each wrote a sep
arate report, giving his views of the
coffee, and stating which of the sam
pies he considered the best. These
were placed in sealed envelopes and
sent to DR.. Wiley who opened them
and submitted the finding to the Quar-
termaster General. DR.. Wiley also
constituted a part of the jury-a fore
