A1askans Return

It becomes more noticeable every year, when the people return to Alaska, that they have longing for the migra- tion, even as have the flying birds that winter in the south and make their summer homes near the Arctic circle.
 Glad, glad, glad are the people to get back to Alaska again. "It looks good to me- everyone says, and while the big world outside was good to look upon, and splendid to be part of, it was not Alaska, and they returned. The people do not drift back here, It is not fotsam and ietsam of human life that finds it's way here year after year with such insistence and con- stancy.
 1t is more like the winging of the wild birds to the North where the breezes are blowing on lakes unruffied by the splash of paddlewheel, where noisy man has not yet thrust himself to disturb the peace of a silent land primeval iu it's environment. Such placid waters and silent places are found by the migratory birds, for it is but a small percentage of them that falls at the feet of the hunter.
 Beyond auy argument there is fas- cination here for men and wonen. They like it. Notwithstanding they yield themselves to conditions unusual and perhaps unnatural, as compared with their former habits and customs, there is an element in the life that is appealing to the nat ures chafng against the restraint in that world outside. Sentiment, if you will, is contained therein, but just the same there is truth and happiness in the indulgence AlaskaDs take unto themselves in treat ing their natures to the pilgrimages the wanderlust dictates.
 Few come but that they return again after leaving. Busy marts in the met ropolis cannot hold them; quiet rural scenes of fresh greenness and beauty fail to charm for aye, and they come back, back to Alaska, the land of the wierd long day and the ever shining sun, of the vast white silence of snow, of hardships, too, and privations, the land where fortune kisses or repulses.

To Mine for Rubies

Mining for rubies in Alaska has now become one of the recognized indus tries of the country, and precious stones have been added to the list Of valuable commodities which are pro- duced in this section of the territory, says the Nome Nugget.
 H. A. Ring, who last fall took out q number of uncut rubies, had them transformed into commercial gems by an Eastern lapidary, and has come back with an order for S10O,OO0 worth of the stones to be delivered in Seattle before the first of the year.
 The stones taken out by Mir. Ring last year were secured in the Bluestone mining region, adjacent to Port Clar- ence, having been caught in the ,s,1tce boxes iu a creek which he wa2nt az for gold. After being polishGd> the stones yielded him from S2 to SlOO apiece, sold by the wholesale, and so pleased were the purchasers with the handsome gems that they gave him an order for another S1O000O worth to be delivered this fall, or as soon as the climatic and other conditions prevail ing at the mine will permit.
 1 Ring has been taking rubies out of the Bluestoue country and selling them in the rough on the outside at fifty cents apiece for the past three years. In previous seasons he has done most of his mining with pan or rocker, but this year will install an extensive sys- tenn of sluicing. The ruby has spe- cif1c gravity about the same as lead, and can easily be concentrated.
 Mir. Ring owns practically every claim on the creek where the rubies are found, and, therefore, has somewhat of a monopoly of the business, so far as this section of the country is concerned. The presence of.ruby sand, which is formed of rubies ground up fine, in nearly every section of the peninsula, however, would lead to the conclusion that other discoveries are liable to be made in the near future.

The magnitude of the Matenuska coal fields can scarcely be realized by persous who have never visited the region, says the Seward Gateway. Men who have been there, and who are capable of forming an estimate, place the coal area already partially eX- plotted at 160 square miles. This is considered a very conservative esti- mate, and when further exploitation has been made it is probable that the coal area will largely exceed this amount. From the known area it is es. timated that the enormous tonnage of of 8OO000O0 is available for shipment. The quality of the coal, especially in the Chicaloon district, is far better than any other bituminous coal pro- duced on the Pacific coast. It has sufficient per ceutum of fixed carbon, to almost place it in the anthracite class, and bears most favorable com parison with any coals produced in the United States or Wales, This really wonderful coal field lies within l84 miles of the town ofSeward, and is the destination of the Alaska Central rail road

Prof. c. c. Georgeson, head of the government agricultural experiment stations in Alaska, let his mind wander away from hay and cabbages long enough to make the assertion that if the patents were not held up, the Gug- genheims would have the entire coal supply of Alaska gobbled up.

POi,THE HAWAIIAN STAFF OF LIZ
Peculiar Food of Much Value ana
Used BY Many In Territory-An
Aeo,,irad Taste By Strangers.

USED 6y MANY III 'S''S
Acquired Taste BY Strangers.
What bread is to the American or
European, poi is to the native Ha-
waiian. No meal is complete without
IT. and for the great majority OF the
natives it forms the principal article
Of diet. While they probably could
at the present time live without this
accustomed dish. the time once was.
before the advent of the whites to
the Islands and the Introduction OF
new foods. that life without it would
at least have been precarious.
Poi is made from the tuberous root
of the Taro plant, species OF the
Caladium family, of which the well
known elephant ear plant is also
member. The tuber, which averages
In size that of a large sweet potato,
Is baked and afterwards pounded up
with water until smooth white paste
is obtained much resembling wheat
-four paste except that the color is
a pale pink or purple, dependent upon
the variety of taro used. This paste
is allowed to slightly ferment, or
sow, when it is ready for use. In
olden times each family prepared its
own poi, the work being done by the
men, as in fact were most other cook
ing operations. At the present time
poi factories in which machinery
grinds the taro and mixes it on large
scale have largely supplanted the old
hand method The Chinese OF the
territory have come to be the leading
manufacturers of the product.
Many Of the white residents OF the
Islands eat poi to almost the extent az
the natives. but the taste is largely
acquired, and strangers seldom care
for It, Poi has high food value, and
since it formed the principal. article
Of diet of the old Hawaiians, some per-
sons have credited it with the splen-
did physical development OF the race
Poi was always eaten from wooden
bowls, or calabashes, and was con-
veyed to the mouth by the fingers,
one, two, or three being employed &C.
oording to the consistency Of the food,
which also establishes designation OF
one, two, or three finger poi. White
poi eaters now usually employ fork
or spoon in lieu of fingers, although
it is still common even in the high
est families to give native dinners.

A hungry COW cannot produce milk

KING EDWARD LIKES cRooUEr

Enjoys Watching It.
The beautiful new croquet ground at
Cannes will probably see good deal
Of King Edward should he go there,
says Madame. Golf, curiously enough,
does not suit him and he now scarce
ly plays at all, although he is fond
Of Watching the game.
There was formerly no crcquet
ground at Biarritz, but since the King
took to going there annually lawn
has been set apart for him adjoining
the golf ground and no one else uses it
during certain hours of the day.
The King plays remarkably we'll
and adopts the complicated modern
croquet, so unlike the game which
was looked upon as only suitable for
curates and old maids. He is said
to be especially skifful at long shots.

ped to the platform, an awful sense
of depression came over her. The cold.
gray morning, the deserted streets.
everything seemed so dreary to her.
The stationmaster did not recognize
in this broken and worn woman the
lightlhearted girl that had left there
a few years ago. and looked curiously
at her as she passed down the empty
street.
She paused in front OF her old
home, and looked longingly at it for
some signs of life; and as il in an
swer to her wish, the door slowly
opened and her father came out. She
knew he was going to the barn to do
the few chores, and she pictured her
mother inside, getting breakfast over
the shining stove in the big kitchen.
The sight of her father 50 bent
and gray, sent a swift pang to her
heart, and with cry she was by his
side, her arms around his neck, and
her lips pressed close to his, while
she cried:
Father, oh, my father, it is I. your
little girl, don't you know your
Eloise?"
"Eloise," he cried, and the sound
was like music to her starved, sad
heart, "you have. come back to me.
and the poor old man sobbed with
| Joy.
The heavy load was lifted with
Eloise's heart, and they went In to
| see her mother. The welcome was
so genuine and their pleasure so sim
| cere. that she cried and laughed
through sheer joy.
The tired look left her face, anu
the old vigor returned to her step
in the next few days, while the years
positively rolled from her father and
mother, and Eloise wondered more
than once how she had ever stayed
away from this home so long.
The only hard part of her home
coming was the inquisitive glances
and remarks of the neighbors, but she
felt that she deserved this. and hore
it all with a sweet patience quite un-
like the old spirit of the naughty
Eloise.
Then one night when the old brass
knocker sounded, and she went 10
open the door, familiar figure step
ped into the hall, and she found ner-
self face to face with Paul Darcy. She
had not seen him since that morning
SO long ago when she had thrust
back the happiness he offered her
with laugh. AS he turned to her, the
lanplight fell full upon his face, and
the look she saw there made her
turn away with a blush, but not be
fore he had caught the answering
gleam in her lovely eyes, and ne
drew her unresisting to his strong
arms, where she lay, content that al
last even after many years OF suner'
ing, she had found the Joy that only
perfect love brings.
And in the next room, her mother
and father smiled knowingly at each
other, and understood, for their child
had come back to them. and their
pleasure was in the happiness that
could now be hers.-Boston Post.
