An Old MaidIess Country.

The white women are less numer ous than the men. They are small CT and more wiry. Since most of them live a distance of several days from a physician and physically they are inferior to the squaws, they usually practice race suicide. But they make devoted wives. Many, who at their fathers homes, were accu1tomed to be waited upon, in steam heated apartments, live here cheerfully. in log cabins, cooking, washing and making fires, without servants. They are rewarded by de votion and admiration. Old maids are unknown in Alaska. Most wO- men have two or even three hus- bands, and line waiting for any vacancy that may occur. In one respect, they have reached an ad- vanced stage of civilization. A wo- man who has sinned In the past, II her life is now respectable. is re- spected by the others.
 There is a fascination about the Alaskan life, which, despite it's pri- vations, makes men 10th to leave and eager to return. There is no fear of starvation nor even of dcStitution. The rivers and woods supply salmon and the venison of moole and Cari- bou sufficient to meet the wants of all. A hole in the ground makes a refrigerator which will keep mea, fresh throughout the hottest sum- mers, without resouce to pemmican. And, if a white man is too lazy to hunt or fish for himself, be can al ways obtain living from sQuaw and a fiShWheel

Canned Food EpIcures.

But the experience of the old camp life has given them an abnormal taste for canned food. They prefer smoked fish to what is fresh. They insist that fresh milk is inferior to condensed. When by chance they are served with a fresh egg, they critI- cize it for it's lack of the flavor to which those former days have ac- customed them. The feeling of com radeship is strong among the pio neers. Those who die without cent are buried by the survivors. Any one of them who i3 hard up can al ways obtain credit at the shops and restaurants, and public opinion is so strong and severe that there is no doubt of his paying his debts when he is able. Hospitality, as l myself experienced it, at Rampant, is eX- tended to strangers as freely as in Asia. The spirit of democracy is stronger than 1 have seen 1t else where. No man has master" or boss" The man who pays him wages he calls his partner" When employed he does what he considers to be a fair days work, regardless of the opinion upon that subject Of the man who pays him. and no orders, threats, or cajolements can induce him to do more.
 A waiter, at the leading restaurant in the city, said, in the middle of my supper, Another gentleman will give you the rest. I'm going to the con cert" A man who had had both experiences told me that he would rather be broke in Alaska than have $3O,OOO in the United States. The life is free, the people interesting, and the country beautiful. As soon as suitable means of transportation exist, the country should be more crowded with visitors than was Switz- erland before the war, and must also enjoy business prosperity.

Where Things Are Reversed.

1t may indeed be truly said that
there is no kind of social position, no
sort Of vocation, public or domestic,
among ourselves exclusively appertain-
ing to one sex which has not at some
time or in some part Of the world be-
longed to the opposite sex, and with
the most excellent results. We regard
1t as alone right and proper for man
to take the initiative in courtship, yet
among the Papuans Of New Guinea a
man would think it indecorous and
ridiculous to court girl; it was the
girls privilege to take the initiative
in this matter, and she exercised it
with delicacy and skill. and the best
moral results. There is, again.
no implement which we regard as so
peculiarly and exclusive feminine as
the needle. Yet in some parts Of AT
RIGA a woman never touches a needle;
that is mans work, and wife who
can show neglected rent in her pet
ticoat is even considered to have fair
claim for a Observation-Disclosures.

: The song "Dlxie" was written In
1850 by D. u. Emmett, and was first
publicly, sung hy Bsyant's mintrels, in
New York, at Mechanics hall. The in

peared in the Natchez (Miss.) Courier.
The origin Of the phrase "Dixieland'
Is thought to be in the name of a Mr.,
Dixie, a slave-holding New York citi-
zen, who moved to the South. His

which they called Dixie's Land. The
phrase spread and was appropriated
for the Southern states, which were
substituted for the original Dixieland.
The phonetic connection between the
word and Mason and Dtxon's line also
has been pointed out. The boundary
line to the negroes was Mason and

Old PrussIan Town.

Osnabruck is one Of the most vener-
able towns Of Prussia. In the closing
years of the eighth century Charlie
magne designated it as the capital of
a bishopric, distinction which it en-
toyed without interruption for more
than a thousand years. In 1903 the see
was suppressed, the last bishop being
Frederick. duke Of York, son Of the
English Hanoverian monarch, George
III. In 1858 the city was restored to
Its religious eminence when it was
again made the seat Of a Roman
Catholic bishop.
