He concluded his report by saying that skagway could thank the Almighty We were not all burned out"
 The bill presented by the White Pass G Yukon railroad for $lOl.3O for installing and repairing the city water pump at their shops was laid over after considerable argument Councilmen Ashley and Taylor fav- ored paying the bin and Councilmen Nye and Snyder said they had no doubts it was just.

ONLY ONE BATH IN HIS LIFE.
Statement of Michigan Man Shocks and StartIes his Fellow Church
 Members.

Lansing, Mich.-William Peterson, a miller of this city, shocked and startled the cultured members of a class in applied Christianity in a meet. ing in the First Universalist church by interrupting a speaker on home sani- tation" to remark that it was balder. dash, that he had never taken /but one bath in his life, sEa that was wher he had the itch. Peterson Is about 55 years old.
 A representative of the state board of health was reading a paper when Peterson nearly broke up the session by his remark.
 My folks lived in three looms in the old country" said Peterson. and lived on rye bread and beer. A friend of mine asked me to take bath not long ago in a 'rigamole' they had put in a church, but told him that had never taken but one bath in my life and that was when I had the itch. He said 1t would put the blood in cir culation and make me feel fine. Well, I have a better scheme than that for putting the blood in circulation"
 Here Peterson eg3ye his audience a practical demonstration in his gymnas- tics. The next speaker changed the subject to the ventilation of school. rooms.

Lewis and His Wireless Apparatus.

for the past year has met with varied success, says the Boston Globe. Owing to sickness a year ago, young Russell was forced to leave school. He i'm mediately took up the study of cleo tricity.
 In this he was assisted by Ernest McShane of National street, South Boston, another experimenter in wireless work. After little time they were able to send messages to each other. In addition to these two boys Harry Williams of Center street, West Roxbury, took up the study. The three boys frequently met and talked over matters, and in short time were in constant communication with each other by wireless.
 In several cases young Russell has been able to catch the call signals to the navy yard from Brant rock and various other stations, but once in communication the operators use a special code and he is unable to make anything out of what is being sent.
 He has 3O-foot pole on the roof cf his house, and expects to increase the length of the pole
 To all young men interested in the study of wireless Master Russell ex. tends an invitation to visit him at his home on Hamilton street and talk over matters.

places, I propose to tell you how to build one at small expense. that will sail well, and give you great deal of sport, writes J. H. Hubbard, in Peoples Home Journal.
 The directions and measurements here given are the result of careful experiments and some failures. Fig. 1 is an elevation. Fig. a ground-plan of the frame, and Fig. 3 a section of a runner Get spruce plank, A. 12 feet long, inches wide, inches thick. This is the backbone of the structure Cut near ono end of 1t a hole tvs inches square to receive the foot of the mast.
 Take two oak cr'ss-bars, E E, 8 feet The cross-bars are bolted to A, one foot apart, the forward one foot from mast-hole This distance is b,st.
 Next get one oak plank, c, i inches long. 3h inches deep inches thick.
 The hardwood piece, D, is for tiller, 4 feet long. 2 inches wide, inch thick. This is to be set into the top of plank C, and fastened there with screws. To each end of it is attached 2 rope, which runs over a sheaye fastened to the cross-bar. c D, and the ropes, l. constitute the steering apparatus.

feet; afterleach, 14h feet. Make these measurements on the floor and mark the outlines with a chalk-line. Cut the after-breadth first, and the others to match. Lap the breadths one inch. Allow an inch all around for hem. The breadths should be pasted before stitching. Put two rows of stitching where the breadths lap. Look out for puckering. Put a narrow hem clear around the sail Then stitch a three-eighths-inch rope around the nem. Make a loop at the peak to put the end of the spirit into. Draw the rope tight around the boom and fas- ten 1t through a hole in the end. Fas- ten the throat of sail tight to the top of the mast. Cut a number of short pieces of heavy twine, and lace the sail, at intervals of 8 foot, to the boom and mast. Fasten becket or loop of rope at a suitable position on the mast. to set the heel of the spirit into Rig main-sheet over two sheaves, as shown; it brings less strain on the boon. and clears the shippers head in tacking. Make a good, large wooden cleat to belay it to.
 The cost of complete materials will amount 10 about s16.
 A boat built as above will sail near iy as close to the wind as a good cat boat. It is managed much the same. Don't turn too short in coming about. Jibe when you like without fear Of capsizing. Your boat will carry three persons in a light wind-more if 1t blows fresh. Rig it neatly and try to make a finished thing all through. Your ice boat will then be more than boys plaything, and will be admired by old and young.

At a speed of five or six knots an hour she came along and she passed the idle fleet.
 The vessel was the feIr-masted schooner Northland, built IE Maine. ead equipped with a gasoline engine of 500 horsepower, which was slowed away aft under the main cable, in what is practically wa-te room on a vessel of this character. The North land was bound for New York from Maine and arrived ia port two days ahead of all sailing craft in the same direction. The Northland was the pioneer of what is likely to prove 9 large feet of companion vessels sim ilaTly equipped, for since she was built two years ago. others have appeared.
 Their success means more than tha mere fact that they have made good for their projectors. in that they en- able a commander to keep lis ship I going whether wind serves or rot.

How TO MAKE AN ICE BOAT.
Thrilling Sport to Be Had Wherever
 There Is Body of Ice.

The sport of sailing on the ice has within a few years attracted ccnsid- erable attention on our northern rivers and lakes. and seems likely to in crease. It is an amusement well adapted to big boys. being exciting. re- quiring skill. and certainly not more dangerous than skating. It is even more fascinating than yachting, with. out the danger which always attends the latter pursuit. A small ice-boat that boy can build will sail ten tn % miles an hour with good wind
 Some large ones, strange as it may seem, can sail. with a wind on the beam, actually faster than the wind which is blowing. This fact is attested D. the highest scientific authorities.
