Alaskan Resources.

Sometimes II is very burdensome to write
editorials. There seem TO be so many
more attractive things to do. The other
day we wrote an editorial about the Alas
kan coal lands. and pointed out the pity
OF Alaskans having to pay S12 a ton for
British Columbia coal when they have
an unlimited supply in sight, tied up
simply through legal and governmental
complications. We evidently struck a sym

There is another clipping that reports

Excel Others in Economy.
From the London Spectator.
Having seen a good deal Of continental
life, and having as a bachelor lived in
rooms in various towns in England. I
have had some opportunity for compar-
ing the average English woman Of the
artisan class with the French, Swiss and
German. and in many respects the Eng
lish woman comes out badly, not only
In regard TO thrift. but domestic econ
omy in general. A French or Swiss
woman makes a better soup out OF moth

quently more neatly dressed. and yet she
spends less on dress than an English
woman; she washes clothes better
though she may charge more for doing
so. because she pays her girls better

Her husbands wages are often less
than those OF an Englishman. and pro-
visions. and most things EXCEPT house
rent, are dearer. particularly in France,
so that the cost Of living Is getting a
very serious matter; and yet among the
working classes in those three countries
there IS far less extreme poverty and
a greater appearance OF comfort. happi-
ness. and content than in England
This is largely because Of the capa-
bility Of the women. and because the
men eat. good. well-cooked meals and
! spend less on drink. especially between
meals; but IL is also because the common
/ people are better educated and instruct
ed in those countries, and there Is less

simple reason that there are fewer class
/ distinctions. The English woman's want
Of thrift and order may be illustrated
even by such a tri1ng thing as the fol-

have noticed an expression OF mild
( contempt on the face Of a landlady who
