PLANT PECULlARITIEs.

No plant will produce flowers unless there Is Iron in the soil in which It grows.
 All plants are provided with flowers. though sometimes these are so smoP and so hidden as to escape notice.
 The bleeding bearL according to an eastern legend. originated in the drops of blood which fell from Christs side at the crucidEiou.
 Every flower that has a perfume al all secretes a volatile oil, the evaDOra. ton of which constitutes the peculiar odor characteristic of the blossom.
 The smallest flower known to the botanist is said to be that of the yeast plant. It is microscopic in size and is said to be only one-hundredth of g mil llmeter In diameter.
 According to the poetIcal idea of Ca. julius. the rose was once white, but blushed red and remained so out of shame for allowing it's thorns to IndIct a wound on the feet of Venus.

A Turkish Story.

The Turk, as a rule, is not energetic, but he is capable of sudden bursts of activity. A writer in Casselrs Family Magazine gives an Illustration:
 He was going home late one night in CoustandnopIe when a man ran by him. pursued by four zaptIebs. Direct. Iy they caught the man they belabored him vigorously with the butt ends of their guns. The Euglishman inter fered.
 If he is a thief, why not take him to prison and let him be tried properly Don't half kill the man without a trial"
 70 eneudI," said the spokesman Oi the party. I've don't mind hIs being a thief. We're only hitting him because of the trouble he gave us to run after him" And that Is an oGteuse which the average Turk never forgives.

CAUCASIAN AND NEGRO.
They Are Fundamentally Opposite

They Are Fundamentally Opposite
 Extremea In Evolution.
 The Caucasian has the subjective fac, ultles well developed; the negro the ob iectIve. The Caucasian, and more par. dcuIarly the AngIo-SaLon, is dominant and domlneering and possessed prima. ely with determination, will power, self control. self government and an he attributes Of the subjective self, with high development of the ethical and aesthetic faculties and great req sonlng powers. The negro is in direct contrast by reason of a certain lack Of these powers, and a great development pC the objective qualities. The negro .s primarily aGectlonate, immensely emotional, then sensual, and, under provocauon, passionate. There Is love of outward show, of ostentatOn, of ap- probation. He loves melody and a rude kind of poetry and sonOrOus language. There is undevelOped artistic power and taste-ueDroes make good artisans and handicraftsmeu. They are de6- cient in Judgment, In the formation of new ideas F-eHa existing facts, in de- vlslng hypObz-ses and In making ds' auctions in general. They are initiative rather than original, Inventive or con- structive. There is Instability of char acter incident to lack of self control, especially in connection with the sex ual relation, and there Is a lack of orlentatlou or recognition of position and condition Of self and environment evidenced in various ways, but by a peculiar "bumptousness," so called by Professor BIackshear of Texas, this is particularly noticeable.
 The white and the black races are antIpodal, then, ln cardinal points. The one has a large frontal region of the brain, the other a larger region behind the one is subjective, the other objec. tive; the one a great reasoner, the other pre- -emiuentIy emotional; the one dOmi- neerlag, but having great self control, the other meek and submissive, but violent and lacking self control when the passions are aroused; the one a very advanced race, the other very backward one. The Caucasian and the negro are fundamentally opposite ez. tremes in evolution Robert Bennett Bean ln Century.

The CatIike Fox.

The fox Is an excellent mouser. He will lie and watch for a field mouse i1 the long grass like a cat, bounce upon It, kill lt with q bite and lay 1t on one side until he has caught another and another, when, picking them all up, as many as he can carry In his mouth, he will canter away with them to serve them out to the cubs. This fact was confirmed by witnesses In Scotland who were examined by a committee of the board of agriculture when taking evidence on the occasion of the plague of field voles on the lowland sheep farms in 1S03.-London Graphic.

TO BE SHORT
Gov. HOggatt's Days are
 Numbered

Seward Gateway

Gov. Hozgact's celebruu is cnce more the seat of verlicous agitation. The governors exaggerated ego in rotation can not strictly be chased as a brain storm because that implies a degree of mental vtrilIty which, he is not credited with possessing. His wheels generate nothing more violent than friction.
 It is au error Of judgment to take Gov. Hoggatt serioasly. Several Alas ka papers have worked themselves into 8 violent passion because Of the Eover- noI's obuse misrepresentation of Alaska sentiment on the subject Of territorial government, which is useless, They have also severely criticised the governor because be entertains the view that territorial organization would be a bad thing for Alaska and especially for the interests which he represents, which is wrong, because the governor is as much entitled to liberty of O .inion as anybody else.
 It is really no. a matter of cOHse- quence what Coy. EOggatt imsgiues be thinks on any subject. There is no possibility that territorial government could get through the next congress If the governor should cease 70 oppose iG, because of the average member Of congress knows no mora about Alaska than be does. The governor will be disposed of by the Republican territOr. rial convention 8 year hence 80 far as be has any preJeusiOnS Of representing anybody but the corporations which procured bis appointment In that convention DO; a single delegate will sir for any place but Juneau who will oppose territorial government, and that same conv vsLtion, il it is wise, will pass HogEaGg by jn silence.

JUNEAU TO BE

The rumor that Juneau would not participate in the WhiJehorse baseball tournament on Victoria Day is denied by those in charge of the excursion. IL is said to be aImos. an assured thing that they will serd their team there to play with Skagwsy and Whitehorse for the prize that has been offered by the Whilehorse committee.
 The White Passs Athletic Club has presented the team with free tickets for the excursion train that will be run from gh.s city on that occasion.

pr~ Premiums Promptly.

Those who carry life insurance poll. cles should be careful to see that the premiums are promptly paid. Neglect In this important matter has caused policies to be forfeited. It Is best to pay premiums a few days before they are due On the final day the policy holder may forget 1t or be called away, as many things can happen to cause neglect of payment.-Nashyille Amer icGn.
