A Plea For Soup.

A learned doctor, pleading for soup
on every dinner table, says: "a person
comes to dinner weary and hungry
and needs first something to stimulate
the secretions of the stomach. The
first course, hot soup, does this by its
action upon the nerves which control
the blood vessels. Taking the soup
slowly is an aid to digestion, and if
not favorite dish fish or oysters can
be substituted, serving the same pur-
pose. The joint or roast can then be
taken with benefit to the system, and
the game, vegetables and sweets
should follow in their order, not nee
essarlly in courses for the plain fam
lily dinner, however,"

Ancient Cups.

The cups of the Assyrians closely
resembled our saucers. Every noble.
man and gentleman had his own cup
and cup bearer the latter of whom
always accompanied him to feast,
carrying before him the cup of gold.

master only used on state occasions.
Saucers for cups were introduced in
the latter part Of the eighteenth cen

Velvet and velyeteen.

limitations of velvet are now so clev-
erly made that it is sometimes hard to
distinguish between the real and vel
veteen. When the two qualities are
placed side by side there is an unmis-
taxable difference, for the rich. glossy,
silk-like surface of real velvets fairly
giisten beside the dull velveteens that
absorb all the light. The back threads
in velvet are silk, while in yelveteen
they are cotton.

Baron Steuben was known as the
rudest, roughest, most uncivil and dis
courteous officer in the Revolutionary
army. He spoke English to some ex-
tent-that is, he knew most Of the
oaths and eXpletives and had other
words enough to string them together
but when little excited he would
burst forth into Il most extraordinary
mixture Of German, French and Eng
lish and in this polyglot composition
would abuse everybody in hearing.

The African Drum.

The African drum appears in varied
and often picturesque forms. The ma
tives make drums out Of shells, tree
trunks or earthenware, covered with
the skin Of some wild animal orss6mc-
times with india rubber. OF the -origi-
nal calabash drums there is probably
only one specimen in Europe. Some of
the drums are highly ornamented
either by painting or carving. One
specimen, indeed. has puzzled travellers,
for there is depicted on it unmistaka-
bly, cross and also head of European
type. A drum found in upper Ldalaha

WHAT THEY THINK OF IT

Some of the tories of Southeastern Alaska would have the people believe that the agitation for self-government for this district is confined to South eastern Alaska The Dawson News does not look at it that way, apparently, for it says:
 "Also the time is not far distant when the DEMAND OF THE INTERIOR FOR SELF-GOVERNMENT cannot te longer refused by the federal govern ment"
 h another column is reproduced an editorial from the Nome Nugget, urg- Ing the people of Alaska to stand be- hind their representatives in congress, irrespective of party or section, and help them to get self-government. The unanimity of the people for self-sovern- meut is one of the things recognized by the Nugget which is asking the people not to to sleep but to uphold the hands of their representatives.
 The fact is as was stated by the Daily Alaskan sometime ago. There has not been 90 much agitation, perhaps, in the Interior and at Nome because. there is no opposition to home rule there. There has been lacking the stimulation to which prevails in Southeastern Alaska.

NOT NEWS IF ABOUT ALASKA

Every little while an eastern paper has something to say of Alaska, but usually it is only to show how little Is kown of this district and how little att tention is paid to it. The Montpelier, Vt, Argus and Patriot of August l5, the day after the Alaskan election for delegate to congress, containing an editorial which say. that Alaska is to have q novel experience in the shape of congressional campaign,
 We're the Kanakas of the Sanwitch islands, the Negroes of Port Rico or the yellow tribes of the Philippines electing their first member of congress it is not likely that any paper in the east would know nothing of it until after it was all over. The reason for this is that the press of the country has counted anything referring to any ot the American non-contiguous posses sions, except Alaska as news. Only on the Pacific coast and with two or three notable exceptions, are the newspapers interested in Alaskan news.

Judge Alton B. Parker, late demo- cratic candidate for the presidency, has said that he will try to assist in the election of Roger c. Sullivan, of Illoinis, to the chairmanship of the next democratic national committe. It is safe to say that MT. Sullivan does not feel that the victory has been won be- cause of this acquisition. Poor, pitt able Parker. What a sorry attempt he has made to retain the leadership of his party. Even yet he seems not to understand that he lost his temporary leadership on that fateful November evening when the last ballot to be voted in the last presidential election was de- posted in the box.
