Once upon a time there were two
merchants, each of whom had for sale
and barter a complexion beautiffer. The
first one called to display his wares to
a Princess and found ahead of him his
competitor, so he sat down and waited
his turn.
Your lovely Highness," his competi-

this marvellous complexion beautiffer 1t

that you will never again care to look

that you are as beautiful as any mortal

and short seasons. Gold dredging in

stage and become an established and

through the use of dredges handling
1000 or more cubic yards of dirt every
twenty-four hours.
There are now in the Klondike, either
in opera ton or in course of installa-
tion, nearly dozen gold dredges. Next
season Will witness the arrival of sew
eral additions to the northern mining
feet. some of which will be put to work
in the Forty-mile and Birch Creek dis
tricts of Alaska. All OF these gold

sionally it is said that dredges from
other countries may enter into compe-
tition with American patterns. Such
reports are probably idle and merely
the result OF impatience because Amer
lean manufacturers cannot at present
fill all orders promptly. Calls for gold
dredges come from California, Montana
Idaho and Colorado Gold dredging is
to be tried in Siberia and in the val
leys ofsthe Yalu, the Amur, the Hoang-
no and the Yangtze. The present in
ability of American dredge manufactur-
ers to supply the demand is perhaps
chiefly due to Panama Canal require

Women Not All HystericaI.

Women are sometimes regarded as
likely to lose their heads and
grow hysterical with fear in times of
sudden danger, but every little while
some incident occurs which puts them
in another light. An open car nlled
with passengers ran away down long
hill in New York the other day. When
it was found that the car was beyond
control many passengers screamed and
jumped, and some were badly hurt.
A woman who had baby in her arms
stood calmly up in her place, motioned
to man on the street who was
watching the approaching car, tossed
the baby to him as the car passed,
and then sat down. The man caught
the baby, and in a few minutes the
mother walked back, thanked him, and
took the child. Nothing panicky about

According to the report of Commits
SINGER J. ID. Beck of the bureau of labor
and statistics, Wisconsin leads in the
value of its dairy products, in its tim
Der, the leather industry and that it can
lead all other States in the cement indus
try, in manufactures, in the tobacco in
dustry. in the beet sugar industry, and
others. Wisconsin has a larger amount
Of water power than any other State in
the Union, barring New York with Nj
agara Fails. The report shows that
there is about 100000 horse power in
total number of boilers in the State,
while there is nearly twice that amount
of horse power in the rivers of the State
and less than one-fourth of it is develop
ed There is yet enough undeveloped
water power in Wisconsin to run the en-
tire factory system of the State of Mas
sacbusetts, the foremost factory State IN
the Union. The factory inspectors reach
ed nearly 10000 employees in Wisconsin
within the last year and improvements
were made in the various factories of the
State for the better protection of life
and health of employees amounting 10
nearly a quarter of a million dollars.
Theer have been fifty prosecutions of the
child labor law, and child labor has de
creased in Wisconsin in the last year
about 20 per cent. The bureau has in
spected all the mines in the State for the
first time. One part is a report on man

1906. This takes up al the strikes,
lockouts and new industries. The liquor
traffic, tenement conditions, particularly

dealt with in the report.
