MINERS IN THE KLoNpIkE.
Quiet, Provident and Anxious to ost
Away AZ Soon as Possible.

Lack Of water is the great drawback
to mining in the Yukon, says Leslie's
Weekly. There is little rain during
the summer and the miner must de-
pend upon the melting SHOWS to swell
the streams for his summer sluicing.
villages have sprung up near the
creeks and living is a shade higher
than in Dawson owing to the extra
freight. Sending souvenir post cards
from these points becomes an expen-
sive remembrance, as the plain uncol-
ored ones sell for $1.5O dozen. The
picturesque swagger miner of Cripple
Creek, Creede and Tonopah is not
found here. The cost of getting in"
Is heavy, money is not always easily
made, and the winters are bitter cold
and depressing on account of the long
darkness. So the miner saves his
earnings until he reaches a more con-
geneal cline. To be sure, there are
men on the creeks who drink whiskey
and the hardest kind of whiskey-
and gambling goes on; yet, on the
whole, the Klondike miner is a quiet.
provident individual, who devoutly
hopes that the gold neldS are not
to be his permanent home.
A man who works for company
or individual mine owner receives
from four dollars to six dollars a day
and his board. Many of them do their
own cooking and live IN cabins near
the creeks. Flap-jacks (pan cakes),
bacon and coffee are their chief diet
during the winter, and in midsummer
it requires a dexterous hand to turn
the fap-jacks before the mosquitoes
can settle on the unbaked side. The
old-timer who has seen the ice come
and go Is known as Sour dough-"
and these men are the aristocrats of
the camp. The newcomer, or the man
who spends his winters outside, is al
ways known as "cheechako."
If people in the states knew how let.
ters from home are appreciated by the
cabin dwellers of the Yukon they
would send some message every day,
have seen miners sit in front of their
cabins and read and reread old tat
tered letters. At some particular pas
sage their faces would light up with
smile and the entire letter would
be gone over again.

Talk IL Over with Your Wife.

There are thousands of families
homeless or living in poverty and
wretchedness to-day, who could have
been living in comfort, in good homes,
If the husbands had confided teir
business affairs to their wives, says
Success
Women are very much better judges
of human nature than men. They can
detect rascality. deception and insin-
cerity more quickly

never think of employing a manager
or superintendent, or a man for any
other important position, or if choos-
ing a partner. without managing in
some way to have their wives meet
the man and get chance to estimate
him. to read him. They invite the man
whom they are considering for an
important position to their home for
dinner. or to spend a Sunday, before
deciding. They want the advantage
of that marvellous feminine instinct
which goes SO directly and unerrin gly
to its mark.

A radical change in the construction
OF sleeping cars is proposed, which
will afford all the room and comfort

plenty of light. and better ventilation
at night. In this car the berths are
entirely below the floor during the
day, the space being occupied by COM
Portable arm chairs which may be
moved about as desired. In making
up berth the chairs are removed
and tray doors are raised which be-
come the partitions between the sec
lions, and the porter by means of a
sprocket raises one or borth berths
into position. The berths lock secure
ly at any desired height. The COM
pany intends to make no charge for
an upper berth when it is not oc-
cupied, and in such event only one
berth Is raised above the floor, leaving
a room unobstructed to the ceiling OF
the car.
The occupant can have his berth
at whatever height he desires, like a
low or high bed, says Railway and
Locomotive Engineering. The new
plan enables the porter to make up or
put away the berths in less time than
by the present system in sleeping
cars. In the day. when the beds are

ROOT MAY URGE cALvo DOCTRINE.

That Secretary of State Root will perform
another great international mission, in represent
ing this government at The Hague Peace Con-
gress next spring, is expected by public men who
know most about the motives back of his recent
tour of South America.
There is strong impression that as head Of
the United States delegation to The Hague, Mr..
Root will present vigorously. behalf of the gov
ernments of all the Americas. the demand that
the Calvo doctrine be recommended for place in
accepted international law. This is the doctrine
to which the minor republics of the Americas are
just now devoted that debts of a government
or OF its citizens, may not be collected by force
by another government.
Diplomatic authorities now recognize that
the United States must either espouse vigorously

PLAN ADOPTED BY THE DEPARTMENT.

The plan which the department of asricu
ture is working is the establishment of a complete
educational ladder on which the farmer boy may
climb from the rural school up to the agricultural
high school and then up to the agricultural
college.
The first step in the ladder, according to Prof
Hays is the consolidated rural school; the second
the agricultural high school, and the third and last
the state agricultural college. Hence the depart
ment is friendly to the movement through the
United States for consolidated rural schools
intended to take the place of the district schools
One consolidated rural school can be established
in a township and the children can be taken to it.

night and on the following morning there

Under tho ordinance the superintendent
