 CONGRESS

Rev. Thomas Jenkins, formerly of Ketchikan, now in the city and who will conduct services in St. Saviour's church tomorrow, was the Episcopal church representative from Alaska 10 the Pan Anglican congress last sum mer. He has since been travelling throughout the east in the interest of the missionary board. He will tomor- row evening, at St. Saviour's, tell about the great London congress, the great. est gathering Of it's kind in the history Of the world.
 "The Pan-Anglican Congress, held during the p;st summer in London" said Mir. Jenkins, twas organized for the sole purpose Of gathering represen. tatives Of the Auglicln Communion ,o- geLher from all over the world to dis cuss the missionary problems of today in the light Of today's needs and knowl. edge. It dealt with matters that affect Chicago and London as we'll as those found in Japan and Africa. It was a deliberative and not a legislative con. gress. More than Nous,nd delegates were present. There were 10000 and more members Of the congress alto gether. It sat in seven sections every day for almost a fortnight-ending each day with series of great public meet ings, It began with a penitential ser~ vice in West Minister Abbey and con- cluded with magnificent service at St Paul's Cathedral. The offering at the final service was something more than a million and half of dollars-all Of which Is to be spent whe-e it will dol the most good in missionary and non. Christian lauds."

It is to be steam heated and electric lighted throughout with suites Of rooms each furnished with baths, hot and cold water and all the conyeniences found in the most modern, up-to-date houses in the largest cities. The furnishings of the house throughout are to be the best aud ali installed ia the most modern style, all Of which will bring the total cost of the building ready for occupancy well up to 5O,OOOOO.
 Miss Burke expects to have her for nal opening about September l5, but the house will be partially occupied sometime before that date.
 This IS the fourteenth hotel that Miss Burke will have opened the un lucky thirteenth was the one at Fair banks which burned to the ground. She has resided in Alaska ten years and came to Cordova this spring.

The Power of m Voice.

When you live in hotels a great deal,
as have l more or less this summer,
you realize the power Of the human
voice to soothe or quite the opposite.

voices there are in this world-women's
voices, too! The pity Of 1t

turned, expecting to see some I'M
couth nurse maid, and to my surprise
beheld the extremely elegant mother of
the little boy.
Now, that woman's husband Is al
ways irritable and peevish, just like the
boy, and who shall say her voice Is not
responsible for It?
One Of the worst-tempered men l
know married a woman with a sweet,
low voice and an even disposition. He
is now completely changed. You know
you simply can't quarrel all by your
self when everything is peaceful and
soothing all around you. 1t seems to
me If more women realized this there
would be more happy homes.-Kate

Bryan as Elisha.

Edward NJ Shepard of New York,
long known as one of the most ardent
followers of Grover Cleveland, and one
Of the most devoted advocates of Mr..
Cleveland's policies, has emphatically
affirmed his belief that Mr.. Bryan now
stands as the exponent of Clevelandism
and the logical successor of the late
President. Americans who admired Mr..
Cleveland, even to the extent Of re-
fusing to support Mr.. Bryan In 1896
and 1900. can now consistently give
their adherence to the Nebraskan: can
not, in fact, consistently pursue any
other course. Mr.. Shepard further ex-
presses the belief that Mr.. Cleveland.
whose close friend he was, would, If
now living, openly advocate the election
of Mr.. Bryan. He sees nothing in the
last writing of Mr. Cleveland to indi-
cate opposition to the Democratic can
didate
Probably no man Is able to speak
with greater authority than Mr. Shep-
ard as to the opinions of Mr.. Cleve-
land. His statements, too, may be TAX
en- as an indication that the Cleveland
Democrats, long lukewarm In their sup
port of the Democratic candidate, or
openly hostile, will be found lined up
almost solidly behind Mr.. Bryan this
year-Cleveland Plain Dealer.

What Makes the Sky BIuee

The sky has long beer a puzzle to
physicists. There are two mysteries to
explain about tits reflection of light
and its color. The old view was that
the blue of the sky was due simply to
atmospheric oxygen. Oxygen has faint
eral miles of the gas, even when diluted
as 1t is In the air, would have a bright
blue color. But this did not account
for the intense illumination Of the sky,
and of recent years Tyndall's dust
theory" or some modification of 1t, has
been generally accepted. This regards
the blue color as an optical effect, like
the color of very thin smoke, due to
excessively fine particles floating in the
air, which would also account for the
large proportion Of reflected light from
the sky. Recent calculations by Prog.
Spring, Of Liege, Belgium, however, In
dictate that the dust in the air Is not
sufficient In amount, nor finely enough
divided, to support this explanation,
and he rejects it for this and other rea-
sons. He has gone back to the old
oxygen theory, and accounts for the
general illumination Of the sky on the
hypothesis, first advanced by Hagen
bach, that intermingled layers Of differ
ent destiny, in the atmosphere give it
the power of rejecting light.-Success

The EEg-Enting Habit.

The egg-eating habit is a very coEn-
mon and costly one, and usually proves
troublesome. 1t can generally be
traced to the accidental breaking of
an egg in the nest or elsewhere. After
one bird has acquired the habit It Is
rapidly taught to other members of the
flock, causing complete decentralization
The habit can best be prevented by
having darkened nests and a suficiency
of nesting material so that the eggs
are Tot liable to be broken; also By
the use Of china eggs IN every nest.
Give the bird at all times sufficient
shell-producing material, such as
crushed oyster or clam shells and mica
crystal grit. In case the habit Is con
tracted. scatter a number of china eggs
In the nests and on the floor. Blow cut
the contents OF several eggs through
a small hole In me end and Ill with
some disagreeabla substance, such as
paste composed OF mustard, red pepper
and powdered assafoetida, equal parts.
If the first birds to contract the habit
are not too valuable. It Is best to kill
them II they are discovered In time

Attention has been directed by the
approach Of the sixteenth annual ses-
sion Of the National Irrigation Con-
gress, to be held at Albuquerque, n NJ,
to one Of the most Important public
enterprises of the time. Under the
authority Of the Federal Congress $780,
000 acres of land have already been
largely reclaimed from a state Of
aridity, at n cost Of SIS, 100000, and
1 100000 other acres are to be re-
claimed by the year 1911, at a cost Of
sol 100000. A side light Is thrown
upon the magnitude Of the govern
ment's irrigation operations by certain
facts that are not suggested by even
the tremendous figures given above. 1t
is employing, either directly or through
contractors, in this work q very large
number Of persons; it has built rail-
ways and wagon roads, telephone lines
hundreds Of miles long, sawmills and
electric light plants; has done miles
upon miles of tunneling, and has con-
structed many dams. Its present ex-
penditure upon the enterprise is nearly
$1,0O0,0O0 a month. Not only is the
greatness of this irrigation task not
comprehended by most of the people in
the East, but they look upon it with
indifference that is entirely inappro-
pirate under the circumstances Irri-
cation will enhance the resources Of
the country in a most remarkable man.

Matne's Vote Grows Significant.

In the light of the events the re-
turns from Maine take on a new sig
nificance. There may have been local
causes which contributed to the reduced
Republican and the increased Demo
cratic vote. The saloon issue may have
been the one that burned. The NOvem-
Der election may even show AN aston
lshing reversal of form. But for the
present we are bound to consider that If
the vote in Maine showed anything it
showed that there are more Democrats
and fewcrRepublicans there than there
were four, eight and twelve years ago.
1t showed that this year the Democrats
are going to vote with their party and
that the Republicans are wavering in
their faith.
This being the situation, the question
is naturally raised as to what the out
come will be when all Democrats vote
with their party and many Republicans
join them.

DoctOring Fowls.

There Is too much doctoring Of fowls
going on, especially healthy ones. o.
oasionally a fowl will get sick, and,
II it is a valuable one. it is all right
to try and cure it, but this everlasting
custom of giving them all manner of
nostrums to keep them in good health
is all nonsense. Feed them regularly
with a variety of food. See that they
get plenty Of exercise and have plenty
of gravel or grit to grind their feed.
Give them plenty Of pure water to
drink and see that their houses and
yards are kept perfectly clean, and
there is no danger of disease attack
ing them. During the hot weather
shade is very essential to their good
health. Follow nature as near as you
can, and you will not go far astray in
the management of your poultry.
