A Girl is Dead if Single

The following is the reverie of a young lady as addressed to girl friend, but, being lost en transit, it fell into publishers hands:
 Hell me not in idle jingle, marriage is an empty dream, for girl is dead that's single, and things are not what they seem. Life is real, life is earnest, single blessedness a flo; man thou art to man returneth, hast not been spok- en of the rib. Not enjoyment and not sorrow is our destined end or way, but to act that each tomorrow finds us nearer marriage day. Life is short and youth is feeting, and our hearts though light and gay, pleasant drums are beat ing wedding marches all the way. In the worlds broad field of battle, in the bivouac of life, be not like dumb driven cattle, be heroine-a wife. Trust no future, however pleasant-let the dead past bury it's dead. Act, act in the liv- ing present, heart within and hope o'er' headl Lives Of married folks remind us we can live our lives as we'll; and de- parting leave behind us lots of kids to shout and yell; such examples that an- other, wasting time in idle sport, a forlorn unmarried brother, seeing shall take heart and court. Let us then be us and doing, still contriving, still pur- suing, and each one husband get"

Mild Curing Salmon

The Salmon packers of the Columbia River began shipping frozen salmon Co Europe about the year 1892 It was we'll known that in Germany, Austria, Russia and Sweden there was a great demand for smoked salmon. These countries have only small amount of salmon in their own homo rivers. For three years the fish smokers of Europe used the frozen salmon; thawed, split, salted and smoked them in small way, but at last gave it up as failure as the fish after thawing would not stand the process of salting and smoking. For the next few years the Pacific Coast packers carried CD experiments in pack ing salmon in a light brine for the smoked fish trade of the continent.
 It was we'll known that hard salted fish was of no use for smoking, the free use of salt driving all the very best juice and flavor from the Ssh, and these are too dry and too tasteless after being treated in this manner. Finally, after expensive experiments, process was evolved now known as mild cure or pickled salmon. By this process the 6sh are packed in light weight brine, giving tbem just enough salt and re- taining all the juice and flavor. After being held iD cold storage for eight or ten months they are yet almost fresh fish. A nice cure will give them very rich flavor when properly smoked.

It begins to look as though there are to be no limits to the fish industry in this part of Alaska. Ths taking of salmon has been prosecuted vigorously during the spawning season, and out side of that few have been caught with the trolling gear. The latter pro cess was considered too slow and Gn- certain, besides which it was the gen. eral belief that the salmon scattered to the four corners of the sea and their capture was a matter of chance. How ever, this, like many theories, has worn out in the face of recent developments, and it is declared shat their feeding grounds may be discovered and they may be taken in large numbers at most any season Of the year. Fisher, men in the employ of the Taku Ice and Fish Go. have recently captured hun dreds of fine King salmon, by trolling and she company operating on the Douglas wharf has been kept busy pre pairing them for shipment

For the past year when out to visit
the different millinery establishments
for the purpose of viewing the latest
styles of hats, the ladies never failed
to 60 to the establishment Of Misses
Donnelly and King who, up to a few
days since, were On the r Of

millinery store at the present time is
at 113 Princess street Judging from
the crowd that was in the store
Yesterday afternoon the ladies found
no trouble in locating the establish
ment.
The line Of hats carried by this firm
are very stylish and were being greatly
admired yesterday. They range in
price from $50 to a hat that will suit
the person whose purse is not quite 10
large. One OF the %prettiest and most
striking of the hats displayed was q
handsome black velvet Gansborough
with large black plumes and yellow
roses. 1t is an old style revived An
other very snowy hat wa a felt plar
teau trimmed with mulberry roses and
several shades of irredescent grapes
bordered with pink maine and hand
some brown plumea
There are too many OF the artistic
bats to describe them and the ladies
had best go to see the display them
selves.
