oHlDEOUS ALASKAN TOMB.
Resting Place of Chief Is Embellished
 with Grotesque Carfcatures of Sea Monsters.

New York.-All kinds of strange, hideous things are coming to civiliza. tion from the interior of Alaska. One of the latest is a photograph of the tomb of an Alaskan chief. Really it looks as if it were from the interior of Tartary or the mountains of Thibet. where the monstrous is considered beautiful and the more grotesQue and scary a picture Is the more 1t Is prized,
 The illustration herewith shows the difference between the uncivilized and civilized ancients. Imagine a Roman hero put away in tomb with a night mare face engraved on the marble slab.
 E The chap who died in Alaska to join his forefathers was a great chief in his day, and his wonderful feats in killing sharks, polar bears. mountain lions. saying nothing of his enemies. are supposed to be embodied in the caricatures on his tomb, which, by the way, is not made of slabs of marble, but of driftwood which the ocean had dashed against the cliffs of Alaska for . century or two before 1t came ashore the sea pickling the wood with its brine and preserving it for all time.

CORRECT MOTORING CLOTHES.

The motorist who is his own chauf- feur-and being that is half the fun of the game-dresses with the idea of comfort uppermost. Style is of secondary consideration, if, indeed it is consideration at all. Driving a swiftly moving car against wind, through dust, and along roads often stony and jolting, is a task which de- mands a sure eye, steady wrist, and absolute ease of body. Fashion in dress must yield, then, to comfort, though there is no reason at all for not dressing both suitably and be- comingly. The popular conception of the motorist as a creature of for bidden mien, clothed in garments suggestive of an Arctic explorer or a modernized Bluebeard, is due to motorists themselves, some of whom delight to look spectacular, even if they are only out on a trip through the park.
 Dress as lightly as you can and as warmly as you must. Let every gar ment have a place and a purpose. Don't pile on things indiscriminately, just because you have seen others wear them or because they are at tractively tagged in the shops, Auto This or Auto That" Ease and strength are precious in guiding a machine. and both should be hus- banded for emergencies. The founda- tion of right dress is right under wear. This should be thick enough to keep the body warm in the con stant breeze which blows when the car is in motion, and yet not so thick as to induce precipitation. I recom- mend fresh underwear of medium weight It lets the air in and out. absOTbs precipitation, and preserves uniform temperature, something greatly to be desired. The shirts should be sleeveless, to give the lwearer's arms perfect freedom. and 1 kicker" drawers are preferable to full-length drawers, for similar reasons.
 As concerns outer dress, a dis tinction should be made between long and short runs The short run in a light car requires very little ''muTling up." and any sort of loose flannel or tweed suit with a tweed cap will do. Leggings are service able, but by no means necessary Many men prefer Kicker" trousers. like those for cycling. and golf stock ings. This manner of dress is simple aud sensible. and leaves the legs un- |enSumbered- I am quite aware that 1t Sfers drom the popular notion of whsk motorist should look like. but expe4 4enee has taught me that it gives Nhe maximum of comfort- Succes

The recent crisis in Russia and the disposition of the bank of England to strengthen it's reserve placed a temporary check upon gold takings last week, says Banker Clews. This, however, is only temporary, since an increase in commercial bills, which will soon be freely offered in anticipa- tion of wheat, corn and cotton ex- ports. European crops are running about 10 per cent below the average, which means that the United States is sure of a good demand for its sur- plus grain at satisfactory prices. The activity of the cotton industry abroad also insures good foreign demand for American cotton. Our export trade is in all respects eminently promising, and upon this condition of affairs our bankers are depending for liberal gold imports during the autumn. Of course, the Russian situation is somewhat disturbing, being a prob lem, the solution of which no one can yet foresee. There has been some fear of a financial crash in Paris or elsewhere owing to the decline in Russian securities. ..ussia, however, has never failed to pay her interest, and as she must continue to borrow for some time to come it is not likely that she will destroy her credit by default. So far as can be seen Rus sian difficulties have been amply dis counted for the present by the last decline in her securities.

POOR BUSINESS CAPACITY.
Thousands of Girls Cannot Give ]; Receipt for Money.

Thousands of girls are sent out in to the world with what is called fin ished education, who cannot even give a proper receipt for money, to say nothing of drawing a promissory note, draft or bill, or understand ing the significance and importance of business contracts. Such a wo- man presented check for payment to the paying teller of her bank. The woman wrote on the back of the check, I have done business with this bank for many years. and I be- lieye it to be all right Mrs James B. Brown" Another woman in New
 York presented a check for payment at the bank. and the teller told her that it was not signed. "Oh, do they have to be signed?' she responded. What an awful lot of red tape there is about banking business"
 l know of a woman whose husband made a deposit for her in a bank and gave her check book so that she could pay her bills without an- moving him. One day she received a notice from the bank that her ac- count was overdrawn. She went to the bank and told the teller that there must be mistake about it, be- cause she had lot of checks left in her book. She knew so little about business that she thought that she could keep drawing any amount un- til the checks were all gone.
 This sounds ridiculous and almost incredible, yet the very girl who laughs at it may make even more ab- surd blunders. Many an accom- plished woman, when given pen and asked to sign an important doc ument drawn up by an attorney or long headed business man, will sign it without reading it or even asking to be informed of its contents. only to learn afterward by disastrous re- suits that she has signed away her, property and turned herself out of home Only short time ago I read of. woman who had won a suit iu- volring about S20.000 New evidence. however, was brought forward which caused the court immediately to re- verse its decision It was proven that the woman had sworn falsely. She was perfectly innocent of any such intention. but she had sworn that she had never signed her name to a cer- tain document The document was produced. and, to her utter astonish- ment she saw her signature affixed to it. She acknowledged at once that the signature was hers although she had just sworn that she had never signed the paper in question. It ap- peared that. during her husbands lifetime, whenever papers. were to be sgned. he told her to write her name and she did as she was told. without having the slightest idea of the con- tents of the papers.-O. S. Warden in Success Magazine.

Why any one should be worrying about the supply of coal, when there is enough ahead to last for three or four hundred centuries, is something hard to understand. Long before the supply has given out there will, no doubt be something to take its place. At the present time Germany's coal deposits are placed at 2S0,000, ,000 tons, which will last, at the present rate of consumption couple, of thousand years, and in any case making allowance for probable in creased demand, should suffice till the year 5000. The other European countries are given a less favorable position. The coal deposits of Great Britain and Ireland are placed at about 193,000, ,000, ,O0O tons, and with an annual consumption twice that of Germany. this country will have exhausted that supply in less than 400 years. The estimated coal deposits of Belgium are 23.000, ,000,- 900 tons, of France 19,O00, ,O0O, ,0OO. of Austria 17,000, 0,000, ,0O0, and of Russia 10000, ,000, 900. North Ameri- ca's coal deposits are estimated by the same authority at 1000, ,0O0,- 900. The total for all Europe, add ing minor supplies to the preceding figures, is placed at 100000, 900. GOO. But these gigantic figures are said to be dwarfed by Asia's deposits, which can not at present be even approxi- mately estimated. China is supposed to possess inexhaustible supplies of coal. Indeed, a German scientist is credited with estimating the deposits of the province of Shansi alone at 1 200. .O00. 900. .000 tons. Siberia and the island of Sakhalin are also cred ited with vast deposits. of unesumat- ed extent.

ONE TOUCH OF NATURE.

Down the street came a wagon. loaded with meat and drawn by a well-rounded well-fed little mare. Her steps became slower and slower, and finally. in the middle of the car tracks, she stopped.
 Git ap," said the driver, "git ap, Jenny :"
 But Jenny only turned appealing eyes toward the man on the seat
 Behind him came the shouts and oaths of other drivers.
 Poor Jenny. poor little horse - said the big, dirty man. "Is she all tired out ?'
 At the sound of his voice the little horse sighed sigh of tired apprecia- tion.
 Never mind" he went on sooth- ingly. as he scrambled down of the seat and took her by the bridle. We'll go right out to the side here and rest bit and he led her away from the crowd and stood batting her vell-curried sides. while she rubbed her nose against his face.
 The other drivers moved on. then turned and looked. Some of them smiled: others replaced the whips which had been taken from their sockets to hurry their own hofpes af- ter the delsy-Exchange.
