There Ia little love lost between the
Chinese students h are fiockinE in
lcrowds to Toxic to learn western civil
~Iization at second hand and their Japa-
nese fellows. The Chinese students live
their life apart from the Japanese,
with whom they mix as little as they
cam. This Chinese mode of life is wholly
Irepugnant to Japanese feeling. The
lChinese students refuse to smoke Japa-
nese cigarets. which have the names
stamped on the paper In Chinese char
lacters, since they look upon 1t az q
proclamation to burn their sacred letters.

It Is expected that the production Of
gold In Alaska will be near $40 0 900
FOR the present year. Since the Guggen-

that many rich creeks which were pro-
lducing by means of the most primitive
methods. will now increase their pro-
Iduction 100 per cent. with the installa-
|tion Of modern machinery. While there
10 no new district in Alaska to be made
use of. the present known gold dis
ltricts should produce double their out
put. with modern methods employed.

Paris. A PURGE pressed from the boiled
seeds yields both milk and cheese, thin
ming with water producing a very good
substitute for animal milk, and coagu-
lAting with mineral salt fitting the ma

usually eaten fresh. though 1t may be
preserved by sailing or smoking, first
being cooked.
What strikes the London Spectator
