Alaska Is Coppered

That Alaska Is soon to lead all other countries in the production of corper IS written on the wall. No other mines m the world are so rich as those III this northern country. The build Ing of one or two railroads to the in- terror will revolutioniZe the mining of copper. And what does this all mean? We give you herewith little ipforma. tlon which will enable you to figure just what it means:
 It copper ore bears l per cent of copper it has 20 pounds of copper in 1000 pounds one ton-of ore. and Tor each per cent when copper is .5 cents per pound you will see that there Is value of twenty times twenty-five cents or 50 per t, Il for 1 per cent COD. per, and each per cent of increase in the copper per ton means S5-while it was only S2 for each per cent when copper was 20 cents per pound.
 Now take a mine that is shipping LOGO tons of ore per day for 36O days in the year. See how fast it runs into the millions of dollars in it's gross earnings.
 One thousand tons daily of 1 per cent copper at Sl920 per ton, equals Sl9,2OO per day, or S6,91C,OOO per year
 One thousand tons daily of p&r cent copper at S2SS0 per ton equals S2o,oOO per day, or S10,369, ,OOO per year.
 One thousand tons daily of per cent copper at S3S 40 per ton equals s3S,4OO per day. or S13,824 ,OOO per year.
 One thousand tons daily of 10 per cent copper at S4S per ton equals S4o,OOO per day, or sl7, ,2SO,OOO per year. Juneau Transcript.

: Good Books Received
Col. Bryan's Illustrated Book of
Travel

The success of Col Bryan s new
book ''The World And It's Ways"
gives striking testimony to his hold
on the popular mind. 1t recounts
and profusely illustrates his recent
journey around the world. 1t has
been issued five months, and we are
advised that, in that short period,
four large editions aggregating Al,
900 copies have been called for. The
reports of agents, which have been
submitted to US, would indicate that
the demand for it is we'll nigh spon-
taneous and universal-that it eX-
ceeds that for any other book pub
lished for the subscription trade since
the period of Grants Memoirs" Col.
Bryan s book with like success de-
ponds upon no sympathetic element
for its strength. But it has on the
part of the people the enduring feel
ing of personal confidence in the
great moral and intellectual integ-
rity of its outhor.
1t has an equally pronounced ad-
miration for his brilliant abilities,
and the untiring energy that enabl-
ed him to cever the world in his noted
tour and to photograph and describ-
&c it in his inimitable way. Without
official place Col. Bryan is every
where regarded at home and abroad,
as a vital force IN American affairs.
As student of men and of COVER
ment. and of governmental conditions
his observations and conclusions pro-
foundry interest the people. Hence
the great sale of this book, deScrip-
tive of men and things seen during
his noted tour around the world and
through the Nations. 1t is vitalized
by 251 artistic engravings from pho
tographs taken by him or under his
supervision, represent ting men, places
and things that interested him and
that specially interest every Ameri-
can reader. 1t is most unique pre-
sentation of wonderfully interest
ing journey that has caught the at
tention of the people, and met with
great demand. 1t is sold only
through soliciting agent.

In our editorial in recent issue as
cribing to the ladies the obligations
under which they place the HERALD,
we inadvertently failed to include one
OF the most important and gracious
virtues that they exercise toward
this paper. That is reminding the
Head of the House to punctually re-
new when his subscription expires.
Several of the men when coming in
to pay up tell us that they had for
gotten when their time ran out, but
that the thoughtful wife had called
their attention to it and insisted UP.
on his toting in dollar to us. This
is a season, good ladies, when we can
appreciate more than ever your jog
ging up of the minds of your busy
husbands, for money helps out
splendidly in these pinching Fall
days. Don't use sharp stick or a
singing tongue, but stir the the old
boy up so that he will remember to
drop round our way when in town
dispensing the shekels.

MAGAZINES.
THE CRY FOR LAUGHTER.


To make one laugh this is the in
sistent demand today. The element
of amusement must enter every form
of art. Leave out sense, sentiment,
imagination, but venture not to leave
out fun. The lecture that draws the
big audience is the one that brings
in the most jokes; the play that fills
the house is not the tragedy which
''purges with pity and terror Chat
passed long ago. nor the drama of
human action and passion lighted
here and there with wit or humor: it
is the exaggerated burlesque, the
hop and skip vaudeville, the farce so
ridiculous that we laugh III spite of
ourselves and feel self-contemptous
afterwards.
To laugh is all right. Laughter is
an excellent thing-in it's place. 1t
is corrective of sour moods; it is a
breeze that clears the mental atmos-
phere of vapors; it is dredge that
sweeps away the barriers of form
aiism and sets in motion warm cur
rents of good will But laughter, to
be wholesome should be occasional,
not continuous. Humor is the spice
of art, not the whole pabulum. There
is danger of losing sight of this -
danger that the craze for amusement
invade the domain of serious art and
dethrone noble ideas. MaryE. Bryan
in Uncle Remus's Magazine for Oct.

Flowers Teach Neatness.

We hope all who read this column
will endeavor to keep few flowers in
the home. In addition to their beauty
and fragrance, they teach neatness
and order. The wife and children
like to have clean room, so that the
flower, in its purity aud grace, may
not shame them. And then, TOO, a
poor man likes to feel that he has an
ornament ia his dwelling similar to
that which a rich man chooses as the
best establishment of his drawing
room. The cottage and the mansion
differ very much in structure and iii
furniture, but pretty flower, care
fully watered and tended, blooms as
we'll in a cottage as in a palace win
dow. Then the flower speaks to the
inmates of the home and tells them
of the wisdom and love Of God; how
He sent these beautiful flowers into
the world to please the eye of man.

Farm Poetry.

Mr.. EditOr:-Wlll you kindly give
space in your Home Circle Depart
ment for farmers wife to speak
her piece.
To begin with we all enjoy your
Home Circle column and find much
in it that is useful as we'll as interest
ing, OF late, however, while we fully
agree with most that appears in this
department, we have read few items
regarding the beauties of life on the
farm with which we differ Where is
the poetry of farming? TEL me We
winged winds, or any one else who
can, for we really ask for information
on the subject We have heard of u
person living all his lifetime in sight
of most beautiful landscape, but he
never saw the beauty nor dreamed OF
such a thing, till his attention was
called to the fact by another. 1t may
be so with us; we may be living in
the very midst of the poetry and
pleasure of rural life and our dulled
senses fail to realize the fact. There
fore please, who can, point us to the
bright way. But please don t mention
among the attractions of country
life the woodland dels, where tiny
leaflets clasp their merry hands aud
all nature smiles in serene happiness
nor say anything about the pure,
fresh country air. " We have a nice
grove on our farm, and often when
we run out for an armful of wood or
pail of water, we look at the grove
and think how pleasant it wnul be to
/ sit there and rest: but the kettle
waits for the water, the fire for the
wood, and back we go Aud when
the work is done, there Is the baby

we prefer rest indoors to an enjoy
ment of natures beauties under such
circumstances.
As to the pure, fresh air, we
have breathed quite as pure air cities
as that which is waited from the
neighboring pig yard. Aud when
the wind sweeps from our big marsh,
it is most too fresh for comfort or the

on the clothes-line
We should never have thought so
much about this were there not SO
much written about the beauty and
poetry of farm life, by those who
know least about it. There are
charming rural retreats, we know,
but charming rural life is another
thing A party may spend hot
summer day in the cool woods and be
delighted; but let them pass the same
day over the cook stove or ironing
board, or in the hay field, they will
find difference. The former is the l.
deal rural life; the latter the real
There are many pleasures in the
farmers life, but plenty of hard work
to destroy all idea of poetry, and
bring one down to very common
prose. Is there poetry in butchering,
sausage making, lard frying? Is there
poetry, in hauling manure? Is there
oh, is there any poetry in picking
