FOX RAISER COMES
 FROM THE WESTWARD

F. E. Whelpley, the we'll known fox raiser, is in town having arrived on the steamer Admiral Farragut this morning. He came from his farm at Unga on the steamer Dora and con- nected with the Farragut at Seward, and shipped Q number of fine blue foxes to the states. He reports that the furs this season are better than during any previous winter for years, the hair being especially long and heavy. At present he is involved in litigation over the terms of his lease on the island at Unga, and is in Val dez where the case will come before the federal court. He states that .he poor fishing season has been a great handicap to the residents of the west ward and that conditions are not good.
 MT. Whelpley is also extensively in- terested in fox raising in the Mari time provinces, having number of -anches on islands in the Bay of Fun dy, where he reports the Alaska blue fox thrives even better than in it's na- tive hauntst

Most Costly and Ornate Place of Wos-
 ship In the World.
 You have seen some costly and beau. tiful churches. especially if you have travelled in Europe. You may perhaps have gauged the religious devotion of given sect by the money 1t has lav- ished on its temple, and if this is your standard do you know who are the most devout religionists in the world? The Greek church in Russia and the Roman church in Italy reveal great de- votion. but their piety, measured by the above standard, is trivial when compared to that of the Sikhs, disciples of Nanak Shah, in the Punjab, now British India. At Amritsar, about thir- ty miles from Lahore, where Edwin Lord Weeks painted his wonderful ori- ental pictures, there is Sikh temple that is without peer in the Christian world. It was built when the politico- religious organization was at the pin nacle of it's power and all the wealth and splendid decorative feeling of the orient were at the disposal of the builders.
 The temple itself. which was at one time served by GOO priests, is sixty feet long and about half that width. It is surrounded by deep depression. which Is called the "Fount of Immortality" The bridge leading across this to the entrance of the temple proper is floor cd by plates of engraved silver. each twelve feet square. The bridge is H. luminated by gold lamps on marble pedestals. The walls of the temple are marble, inlaid by marvellous mosn- ics. The roof is composed of three gilded domes, surrounded by small golden cupolas. and the doors are of solid silver All this is but setting for the most costly and ornate altar in the world.-St Louis Globe Democrat

 The cook. doubtless imagining that financial disaster was impending. re- Mained silent for a few moments, then, with the air of one about to per form sympathetic act, replied: Well, excellency. l am grieved at hearing such melancholy news. but shall re- main in your service. Whatever may happen to you, would not for worlds have 1t said had deserted you in your time of misery
 At dinner one evening the prince told the story to the kaiser, who had had personal experience of the culinary chefs skill, and was highly amused at the prince's anecdote.
