Making Whiskey at Home.

"A man dropped into my shop the
other day and offered to sell, for Sc,
a recipe for making whiskey," said
James Lillis, West Side shoemaker,
recently. HE said that barrel of
whiskey could be made for sixty-five
cents and he showed how he made it.
He took small bottle out of one of
his pockets and poured few drops
into a glass of water. Then he took

kEASONS.
There was boy and he refused
To run away from school,
Because he said this little man,
1t was against the rule
He had no legs.
There was a woman, so they say,
Who loved not war and strife;
She went her way and never spoke
A cross word in her life
But she was dumb.
Another woman would refuse
To gossip to give ear;
And every tale of scandal she
Refused point blank to hear
But she was deaf.
There is a man who never drinks.
Nor smokes nor chews nor swears
Nor does he gamble in the least
And shuns all sinful snares-
He's paralyzed.

Quite a Youngster

Heffelfinger, the famous guard" at Yale in the nineties, now a prosperous business man of the west, recently told a story of countryman who, with his wife, had come down to New Haven to see the "footballers".
 The rural one had walked around the Stalwart Heffelfnger with an air of critical curiosity, much as he might have surveyed horse he was about to purchase.
 "Sary!" he called to his wife.
 "What is it?"
 "This feller's night on to seven feet, ain't her"
 "Almost, Zachariah."
 "Weighs bout 220, don't he?"
 "I reckon he does"
 "Well, we'll, well!" calculated the countryman, "it do beat all how foot ball do develop 'emr' '"He certainly is fine young man" said the wife.
 "Man" observed the countryman. "Sary, one of them professors told me hisself that this feller's in his fourth year. I wonder what they feed 'em on" -Harper's Weekly.

From a three-team baseball league aud with new material that will be here in few days Whitehorse should be able to select an aggregation of slab wielders that will stand against any salt water combination from Alaska which may come here on Victoria day. And more than that, Whiteborse must change the location of that silver cup on the Fourth of July. It is nice cup and deserves better treatment than having to stay at Skagway-Whitehorse Star.
 One of the ugliest looking weapons ever seen in Dawson was found lately in bed in one of the leading hotels of the city. It is lead-filled billy club, ten inches long, and capable of break ing the skull without vigorous blow. The lead in the weapon weighs about two pounds, and is covered with leather. The fact that the leather is much worn shows that whoever owned the billy must be a dangerous man, as he must have carried it habitually, and, no doubt as profession. It would indicate that in Dawson are men who would not scruple to hit man over the head in the dark for roll of money or valu- ables, and perhaps for very little. Dawson has been peculiarly free from such thugs and outlaws, and the first time that one is captured he no doubt will get the full penalty, The fact the billy was found in a first class hotel would indicate that it must have been owned by some pretentious criminal, and one who might not be suspected to be in the business.-Dawson News.

PHYSICAL Defects.

From the American Monthly Review of Reviews
Moral obliquity, of which truancy Is the
first manifestation in school life, goes
hand in hand with physical defects. Thus
among eighty-three truants examined by
tie department of health In the special
truant school in this city. 81 per cent
were found 10 have physical defects. in
most cases of a remediab,e character.
Truancy and it's kindred ills-the street
habit and the gang habit"-lead to
crime. unless speedily checked. The
records of the chiidren's court In New
York and of the similar court in Chicago
showed that nearly all the youthful GRIM
inals that were brought to these courts
were truants, and, what is more, that So
per cent of these children We're found
physically defective.
The source of truancy. therefore. lies
chiefly In defects which prevent children
from pursuing their studies. Remove
these defects and the ability to 30 on
with school work will be restored, while
the tendency to truanqy rffl be vastly
diminished. 1t is as difg8eu,t for a healthy
body to Do sAd think wrong as it is for
a diseased body to DO and think right.
