Wear No overcoats.

From the Baltimore Sun.
 You do not find any one wearing over coats in Alaska, even In the winter sald Major F. M M. Beall, who is at the New Howard, after having recently returned from that territory.
 "The principal thing to be careful about in keeping the head hands and feet warm In that part of Alaska where have been the only land transportation is by dog selds, and to follow them one has to drop a dog trot beside the sled.
 An ordinary suit is plenty thick enough to keep you warm, and an overeoat IS dangerous in that temperature. Trotting alongside a sled wearing an overcoat would make you perpise, and the bitter cold would freeze the precipitation.
 "The men there wear a fur cap that covers every part of the head and face except the eyes, and there Is only httle peep hole for them. Woo-lined mtits are worn on the hands, and moccasins with woolen stockings, on the feet.
 Major Beall has been three years in Alaska, commanding Ft. Gibbon, the gar rison consinting of two companies or the Third United States Infantary.
 'Ft Gibbon is 300 miles up the Yukon river and 70 miles south of the Arctice Circle" he said, "and the river Is frozen up most of the year In that time dog sleds are used. but when the river opens steamers come up frequently Sometimes the rough characters traveling around the country take possession of a river steam CT and it's part of our work to restore order and recapture the steamer
 -"The chief work of the soldiers at It. Gibbon is to keep the telegraph lines going. Since laying the cable from Se- attle the United States government has had all the mining camps connected by telegraph and it Is our work to maintain them, we keep order in the country and protect the people against stealing by travelling roughs.
 ''Whenever we send any of our men out we always have men experienced in the ways of the country to go along. We are careful with our men, and none of them get frozen. Another danger that has to be guarded against is breaking through the Ice, for the zero weather will freeze a man quickly when he has become wet
