Life In the FalkIands.

The inhabitants of the Falkland is- lands are a prosperous race, noted for their hospitality. Living is cheap in the islands. and all kinds of English fruits. and vegetables abound there. There are. however, two great draw backs to life in the Falklands. The climate is never really warm and fires have to be kept up all the year round. Servants are procured with difficulty. Most people import them from Eng. land, but as English girls are frequent ly snapped up and married as soon as they land they have to sign an agree ment to remain in service three years
 If they break it in order to marry the husband has to pay the passage out from England of another servant to re place his wife.-London Chronicle.

ONE DISTRICT OVERLOOKED
 BY CHRONIC STANIPEDERS

Ruby Record-CitLzen: Bobby Brown, who arrived in Nome last month from the Koyuk river, have such a flattering account of that country that it is T wonder it has SO long been exeurpt from stam- pedes. The river is so little known in Alaska in general that newspapers frequently credit news items emanating from it to the Koyukuk, in the belief that the word Koyuk, occasionally seen ill Nome papers, is a misprint. The Koyuk is quite river and empties into Norton Bay.
 MT. Brown says the few miners who have cast their lot there did well last summer, according to the Nome Nugget. In the four years he has been in that country Brown says he has only seen three pros pectors, who spent but q short time in the country. At the present time there are four established camps in the Koyuk, but each one has done well this summer and everybody is satisfied Brown was in splendid ground the past sum- mer, averaging $175 to the box length during the seaaon. He was located on Sweepstakes creek. 9th CTS on the creek were averaging S100 to the box length.
 The backwardness of tho country is due to the difficulty of getting outfits into it and the comparatively short season. There is grld to be found over a wide area of unpros- pected ground in the district.

Inc tales OF German hatred toward
Great Britain seem to be exaggerat-
ed too The German people believe
so firmly that England engineered
the great war that they no longer
argue about it, And, being thus con-
vinced, Germany is laughing at Eng
land for greeting Germany so bitter
ly. One does not read today i'll the
German newspapers any bitter and
sneering references to England. Ger
many appears to realize the serious
ness of the situation, not that she
lacks confidence in ultimate victory,
but because she realizes she must
fight hard to hold what she has won
AS an instance, the German papers
referred to Sir Edward Grey's recent
speech against Germany as an ini-
parchment. In England, whenever
Admiral Won Tirpitz spoke, the news
rapers would say: ''The Big Snorts.
