THE LONG ALASKA TRAIL
In Summer q Lonely, Flowery Way

Mighty Different in Winter.
Our trail still leads to the north
along the great Government road
from Whitehorse to Dawson, q gold

Trapper. It Is about $50 miles well
timbered all the way with spruce.
poplar and. cottonwood some jack
pine Just starting In thick masses OF
many acres.
Forest fires ten years ago drove
most of the game and fur to other
parts, yet we see fresh signs of bear
and fox in the dusty road every day
for miles and miles. Some duck,
mostly mallard, canvas back and
,lack duck. geese and swan show up
early every days travel.
This Is the middle Of May-the

This Government road is q soil

the ice tops travel on the mighty

horse stages slam through this road
night and day from both ends.
Change horses every twenty-five
miles at hotels called roadhouses.
The charges at these roadhouses are
$3.50 for each meal, 81 for bed, 81
for handout lunch; beer. &C.. rs
cents per drink, hay and oats 5 to
10 cents per pound. The hay comes
from Spokane and the oats from
Manitoba, both points about 1900
miles away. Both articles are first

By four droves OF beef cattle Of 1875

The first cost Of cattle lie about
$40 per head. They are stall fed
until three years old and weigh from
1900 to 2.200 each, the best in the
land. The freight on each is more

the ice; the next day the next herd
lost mine head at the same place.
They went under the ice in twelve
feet Of water. The miner must pay
for this loss also. The hay each

FRENcHsrEN EAT obj FISH.
Ono Kind That Is Much in Demand
Is a Species of Octopus.

Is q Species of Octopus.
n the traveller approaches Marseil-
les by water he will be rewarded by
q novel pageant Of asherfolk, gamins
who have rowed out and are on the
lookout for coins. and a stretch Of
ocean liners representing every port
in the world floating peacefully IN
the foreground, while high above all,
like q silhouette against the sky,
rises the statue Of Notre Dame de la
Garde, the sailors patron and the
chief landmark Of the city. The
entire population Of Marseilles seems
TO be occupied in either buying or
selling fSh. The wonder Of 1t is,
says Lasiie's Weekly, that when any
body apparently might catch all the
ash that he wants-for the city
centers right around the harbor-the
markets, which in the morning are
piled high with every variety of sea
food, are In q few hours d~epleated
Of stock. although there is no cam
ming or preserving establishment to
use up he supply. And these mar
Skets are scattered about In all parts
of the city, and are quite independ-
emit Of the street sellers with their
accompanying baskets.
The most curious edible fish In the
world are to be found here for sale.
Fish which it would seem from their
color and oddly should be relegated
to the aquarium are used as foods.
A species OF octopus with its long
tentacles is one Of the most popular,
and, strange to say, the hideous-
looking arms are the most delicate
and the most valued part. Huge
crabs, known best In either Havana
or in the cities along the Pacific
coast are also here in quantity. Sea
slugs, several varieties Of scallops.
and other shell1sh not generally eat
en- In America. although they are
found in some parts, are on display,
and they seem to be much In de-
mand. The Mediterranean fish are
more brilliant in color and differ in
many other respects from the fish of
the Atlantic. Their flavor is un-
doubtedly influenced by the deposit
OF salt In the water. which In the
Mediterranean Is Z per cent. while It
is only 2 per cent In the Atlantic.

''The Rothschilds push their strict

he knew the price would 90 higher.
and therefore he didn't sell until
four days later. In consequence ne

when he sent the Rothschilds
the money and told them Joyously
what ne had done they returned the
whole amount. with q cold note that
