ALAsKA's MIGHTY RIVER.
Tho Yukon 10 Navisable For a Stretch
 of Over 2,10O Miles.

of Over 2,1OO Miles.
 Dismiss from your mind any notion that the Yukon river is a puny stream fed by eternal glaciers and trickling away to the sea. It is a river so mighty that it can spread out over a width of sixty miles on the Yukon flats and still have depth enough in the main channel to float heavily laden freight steamers. From it's mouth (near St. MichaeD at the Boring sea it is navigable all the way to White Horse, in the Yukon territory of Can- ada, an unbroken stretch of over 2. 100 thirds of the distance from New York to San Francisco. Add to this the navigable water of it's tribu- taries-37O miles on the Innoko river. 320 on the IditarOd. 620 on the Koyu- kuk and 392 miles on the Tanana-and you will begin to have fair idea of what big river we have in our great empire beneath the Northern Lights.
 The valley drained by this wonderful river system of the north is the hope of Alaska. The wealth of the past and of today has come from mines and fisheries, and the lifetime of all mining regions is briefer even than human life. It has been only few years you remember, since the Klondike was the most active mining camp in the world Today it is a valley long since deserted by the individual miner and turned over to two big dredging con- panies. which work the low grade tail ings. And these also must shortly pass.-Edgar Allen Forbes in Leslie's.

SKIN OF A SABLE.
1t Takes Lots of Treading to Make 1t
 Soft and Fluffy.

It axes Lots or lreadin9 10 Make lt
 Soft and Fluffy.
 "Otter hunts are fashionable in Eng land," said the manicurist, "and l cal! that a sensible kind of hunt. Look at the otter skins the girls can collect and otter coats 50 fashionable now too!
 T wouldn't mind collecting an otter coat myself But how would you like to belong to a sable hunt. girls. and collect a sable coat?
 "A customer of mine, though. fur dealer, told me I wouldn't know sable if l saw one l thought. of course. they'd be soft. fluffy little fel- lows, but he says they have hide as fiat as a rats. He says that when the skins are taken from the animals they are so hard that they are placed In tub and a barefooted man steps in and begins to tread on them to soft en them. The tub is tilted so that at each step the man takes the skins slide down the slope and are kept moving The man treads for hours and hours before any pile appears When 1t begins to rise the skins are oiled and the treading begins again. This is continued until the skins are as supple as chamois and the pile has become so high that the fur has tbat soft depth and beautiful rich gloss which we see in Fifth avenue.
 II always thought sable was pretty creature, with fluffy fur like a kitten, didn't you?"-New York Trib une.
