on the 9th we found an abandoned
rowboat, unloaded our provisions and
mining tools into it and set out over
a lake which seemed to be free of ice.
After rowing a mile, however, we
found the ice was only out in spots.
We dragged our craft on the CONCEALED
mass and thence to open water again.
Thus we alternated from water to ice
all day long to cover a distance of
eight miles Our horses went over
land in the hands of one of the party,
and the band got together again at
night at an abandoned camp of Esqui-
maux, where there was native feed
for the horses and hay on which the
men could sleep, a condition which
one did not often find in that country
Lose Supplies in Ice Field.
The next day, with only water to
the north as far as we could see, we
set out expecting to reach our destina.
ton without further serious trouble.
In this we were disappointed grievous-
", as our craft shot from the lake into
the Pilgrim river, tortuous, treacher-
GUS stream, where, after a two hours
flying trip, our boat was dashed to
pieces on an ice foe, and flour and
sugar and meat, all, the provisions and
equipment for the trip, went into the
NAV of the hungry river, with the
party sixty miles from its base of
supplies. Everybody escaped, how
ever, with a whole hide, and hurried
five miles farther to the roadhouse,
where we were taken care of until
we could get a new supply.
Alaska mosquitoes are the biggest,
bravest and most industrious | ever
saw. They only last three weeks, the
closing of July and the first of August,
on the Seward peninsula, but what
thew do to a fellow in those twenty
one days he will remember, even if
he becomes an octogenarian. There
are few hours of activity, and so they
work, not only while one works, but
while one sleeps, and they are so thick
that, like the seventeen year locusts,
they sometimes shut the sun from
view. Our party had to travel from
its tents at streamside across a mile
of snow to it's placer gulches. Over
this stretch of the beautiful the mos
quitoes went with us daily, indicating
clearly that getting cold cold feet be-
cause of untoward conditions is not

MISS ELSIE DE WOLFE.

The woman who thinks it is neces.
sary to have large house to display
ones taste and ingenuity in decora-
ton should see a small New York
home which has been furnished ac-
cording to Miss Elsie De Wolfe's ideas.
There are Il number of good points in
the salon and the sleeping rooms for
the woman who is going to be her own
interior decorator next spring.
The pictures in the salon are French,
in gilt frames. and the long wire to
the molding is covered with plated
ribbon in dull old rose shade. This
is a novel feature which will be copied
by the majority of women who see
it. Miles of wire stretching over O
tinted wall have always been an OBJ
stacle to beauty, and this ingenious
method of solving the problem will be
received with gratitude. The appliques
in this room are French in design,
holding branches of lights above
rams head.
elites in the way of decoration. Each
furnishes half dozen ideas to the
woman who is on the lookout for some
thing new and something better to put
in her own room. For instance, in one
room there is a chintz bed. This gay
colored cotton is let into a framework
Of wood. The canopy. which begins in
the middle, is divided into four parts,
each part drawn to a corner of the bed
and caught with a ring OF the material
edged with crimson fringe The lower
framework of the bed where it comes
against the mattress is padded with
cotton and covered with crimson silk
as English tenders are. This is a color
note for the woman who has always
objected to the sharp line of wood
against the drapery of the bed. The
outer coverlet is of crimson silk to
match this padded wood. The dress
ing room, which opens into this sleep
ing room, gives the appearance of a
house of glass. Its walls are mirror
ed, the dressing table is covered with
glass. and a triple mirror is also of
glass. edged with tiny band of ornate
gilt.
Minor details that catch the eye in
the whole house are the French hard
ware locks put on the doors and the
introduction of a mirror wherever it is
possible to insert a piece of glass in
the wall. Every good decorator knows
that reflection gives size, and in this
eighteen foot house this method has
been worked so successfully one often
has the feeling of looking down vista
when one is inclosed by four walls.
In every room there is an available
and convenient table which Miss De
Wolfe calls a kidney table and which
she has invented. This oddly shaped
piece of furniture is of dull wood and
is placed near the fireplace or sofa or
bookshelf.

The Kaiser's New Opera.

Elaborate preparations are being
made, according to the Munchener
Neuestep Nachrichten, for the pro-
duction at Berlin "early next spring.
of an operetta entitled Der Liebe-
straum," for which the best talent In
Europe has been engaged. The names
of the composer and librettist are not
given, but the knowing ones say that
the Grown Prince Frederick William
composed the score and that the libret-
to was written by the emperor. The
setting will cost about l,000000 marks.
but this sum will not come out OF the
imperial purse as did the stage ex'
penses for "Sardanapalus," but will
be privately contributed.
