Absurd though they may be, they have injured the terri tory beyond power of estimate. Those inaccurate statements apparently hays been given to the president. who has believed them. We have been told by several men in Alaska that they have known instances of representatives of the territory going to the White House to seate the facts concerning Alaska; and that they have been in formed by the president that virtually all Alaskans were floating, unreli- able lot of people. most of whom had fled from the states away from crimes, changing their names to con ceal their identity
 It is stated upon good authority authority which can be believed that Right Reverend Bishop Rowe, of the Protestant Episcopal church, in charge of Alaskan missions, called upon the president last year, and sought to tell him the conditions that exist here; and that the president re- iterated his opinion, formerly ex- pressed. and indicated heretofore in this article.
 But there will be no revolution in Alaska.

unknown. A miner will come here buy an outfit to go to the interior five hundred miles or farther, to a place from which he could go to the outside if he chose. just as oOnyen- ienuy as from some other port on the south coast or from the mouth of the Yukon river, Merchants have much less trouble with bad accounts than they do in cities, towns and villages of the states.
 That miner referred to, if he de eide to go to the outside via some other route, will send the merchant here who sold him his outfit the money in payment,
 This spirit of law-abiding is gen eral. and besides, intelligence here is too high to permit the formation of any such wild plans as that of or ganizing with arms to resist the fed eral government It is the intention of Alaskans to procure relief through the orderly means of appeal to pub lie sentiment and they believe that they have made so powerful appeals already that the day of relief cannot be far away,
 If one were permitted to write the plain, unvarnished truth in all re- spects. he would feel that it was his duty to bewail the masses of untrue statements that have been issued by those who have preteuded that they want to help Alaska. It is of this sort that have written under flaming headlines. the assertions which for the past year have intimated to the people of the country that Alaskans contemplated armed revolution. These assertions have been heralded abroad and others fully as absurd.

Early opinions Of the Potato

The useful potato, although in
troduced into England by Sir Wal
ter Raleigh in 1884, was for many
years little cultivated or appreci-
ated. In James rs time it sold for
? shillings a pound, and it did not
come into general use in many
parts of the country until the end
of the eighteenth century. Morti-
mer's Gardeners Kalendar," pub
lished in 1T0S, describes potatoes
as being every like Jerusalem arti-
chokes, though not so good" and
adds, "They may perhaps prove USE
full for swine" And in Scotland re-
writer's exhorted their read
ers to eschew the potato because it
was not mentioned in the Bible
London Chronicle.

Ancient Church Cuctoms.

In the age of witchcroft and ST.
Nerstition it was believed that the
fairies built the old kinks in Glas-
gov ana that they had Il right to
them. So said Mr.. w. B. Paterson,
lecturing before the Old Glasgow
club. The accommodation afforded
the parishioners was very different
from the present luxurious age.
There were no pews in Scottish
kinks before the reign of Charles l..
The pcoDIe had to bring their
stools with them, and those that did
not do this simply sat down on the
floor. For the evening service par
ishioners likewise brought candles
and candlesticks. On the question
of the separation of the sexes Mr..
Paterson mentioned the interesting
fact that there still existed a church
in the city where this rule was OBJ
served.--London Globe.

sternly of Short.

ma~yar Version Of the Expulsion From
h C1rocn Of Eden.

Among the folklore of the peas
".r. Of Nouuuniu and some Of the
-. Irrn. '',agyar states Of eastern
N"ro"c j. Io8nd the story Of the cX-
r.'.,oH Of our first parents from
III, Garden Of Eden. 1t runs thus:
When Adam and Eve fell, God
sen, Gabriel, the Magyar angel, to
tu~n them ont Of Eden as a punish
MONT for their sin. Gabriel vas re-
,.lvcd most c~ourtcousIy, food and
drink Of the best being set before
n.n. Now, Gabriel had a kind heart
",I took pity upon the poor folk
a"d would not accept their hospital
IT.. remembering his errand. SO he
returned and begged that some one
r.~r be sent to evict the sinners, as
Hn really could not DO it. Thrr
.nmhaoI. the Roumanian angel, was
-.nt and WAS received as Gabriel
'ad been. He, however, was very
fond Of il good dinner, and SO he
.a1 down and thoroughly enjoyed
a.m~oIf. The feast over, he told the
.rrinr nair his GRAND. They at
nee began to weep most pitcously
nd bee for mercy. Their bitter sOr-
row 50 touched lis after dinner
'oart that he, too, returned and
~a~I that some n else be sent, as
~ could not possibly turn out the
~o5r folk after accepting their hos
.".,2I,:v. Then it was that Michael.
n" German angel, was sent. He
vas received as the others by the
trembling pair and treated even
"orc >u!nptuousIy. He sat down
and enjoyed himself till the last
aor,pl Of food had vanished and
there wasn't a drop of liquor left.
Then he arose and, turning to his
host and hostess, said, "Now, then,
out you go, and be quick about it,"
Most pitcouslv did Adam and Eve
beg at least for time, even remind
.ng him that he had partaken of
heir bread. All in vain. Thus it
vas that Il first parents were
driven out of Eden.

Tho Memory Of Ants.

A remarkable fact in the physiol-
ogy OF ants is their memory. The
number of ants that go to make a
nest is enormous, yet they are all
personally known to each other and
are able to recognize members of
their own community after a pro-
longed absence. Sir John Lubbock
kept one of these remarkable in
sects from its home for a year. On
its return the relatives from whom
it hid been so cruelty separated rec
ognized their wanderer and welcom-
ed it back, while an ant introduced
from another nest was most inhos-
pitablv treated, even murdered and
thrown out.

Cape Cod and Cranberries.

To sec to the best advantage the
Prcliminaries of cranberry sauce,
says Il Christian Herald writer, we
must visit Cape Cod, that elongated
bit of land whereby the state of
Massachusetts, extends a crooked
and reckoning finger into the At
!antic. Here within a radius of an
hours ride of historic old Plymouth,
where the pilgrims landed, is the
greatest of all cranberry districts.
The whole countryside would not be
considered to make more than a
single good sized county in some of
our western states, and yet in a
season when it is blessed with a
good crop this cranberry zone will
ship more than a third of a million
barrels of the fruit.

Il see you are moving again.

"Yes, liked it immensely. Best

"Was the location unhandy on
account of your business ?"
"No, it was just right"
"Were the other renters objec-
tionable?"
"Not in the least"
"A~nything wrong with the neigh
borhood? ?"
"No."
"Yet you moved. What was the
trouble ?"
''The trouble was with me, I
think. The agent of the building
said it was too hard work collecting
the rent for our apartments."-

The Ecdwoods.

A remarkable popularity Of the
redwood (Scquoia sempervirons) is
its manner Of increase, which is
from dormant buds at the base of
the stump as we'll as from the seed.
When a tree was blown down or fell
as it's period of existence "
reached, several shoots pushed up-
ward from the circumference of the
stump and, of course, in a circle.
These in time became fully grown,
six, ten or a dozen feet in diameter.
In after years, as these trees have
fallen, each would have a circle OF
trees surrounding it.
