PROSPERITY imports
The customs for January of the
district of Washington shows total
imports to the value of £4.3oO,J>35. ;
Oi this sum, £4.062.327 represents the ‘
value of goods coming in free of duty •
and £27£,50> the value of the goods
upon which the duty was collected.
Among these import items Is given
fish and fish products valued at $29.
660; coal to the value of £32.04; 3.4Sh
1794 pounds of print paper, at £64,002.
The commodities composing these
items all now enter free of duty.
Prior to the passage of the of the
democratic traffic law they were all
dutiable.
Also, these commodities all enter
into competition with products of the
Pacific Northwest, and the first item
lircctlv with Alaska.
Before the enactment of the Under
wood law, there was practically no
importation of print paper, and by
far the greater bulk of that used or.
•his coast was manufactured in Wash
ington and Oregon.
While the bringing in of foreign ;
made paper does not at this time di
rectly affect Alaska, thefree entry
of this article, with eonsqnent demor
j dilation of the domestic industry.
1 does undoubtedly tend to postpone
; the day when Southeastern Alaska
; shall become one of the biggest pap
, er-pulp-produeing districts in the
j world.
j As to coal, while Alaska, has ii in
1 quantity practically unlimited
i through the incomprehensible logic
i of the powers at Washington it is
j kept so securely useless that it is as
j imprevious to tariff as to every thing
| else affecting industrial conditions.
| According to this customs report
j the January importations fell behind
’ those of the previous month to the
extent of £72->43s. The war in En
rope is given as the cause for this de
crease—which leads to the conclusion
that, if Europe were engaged in in
j dtistriai pursuits instead of war, with
> normal shipping conditions we might
realire to a still greater degree the
workings of the democratic scheme of
importing prosperity.—Petersburg Ke
port.

'. WOULD RESTRICT
NUMBER OF SALOONS
There is a movement at Fairbanks
j to induce the council to pass a reso
■ lution asking Judge Bunnell to not
grant any greater ncmber of saloon
licenses there than are now in exis
tence. This does not mean the abol
ishment of any of the present saloons.
’ of which there are thirteen paying
a yearly revenue of $ 1 ,'X-O each into
the city treasury, but simply the fix
, ing of that number as the maximum
to be allowed in the city. It is a pre
eaution against a flood ■ f liquor
license applications that is bound
to Come when railroad building starts.
The matter came up in council at
tie last meeting when it was inform
ally discuss--1 by those p-resent.
While the matter of granting :
-■‘loon Iieens*-s rests entirely in the j
hands of Judge Bunnell, who approve*
them after thav have been investi- :

' gated by the marshal’s office and the i

How Do* You'DoT ~ '
What Is your uonnal attitude toward
yourself? Much depends upon this.
When you look at the great, wide
world and then at yourself In your own
little center of It, how does It Impress
yon? That Is to say, are you a con
stant source of surprise and wonder
ment to yourself, which causes you
ever and anon to halt In your tracks,
look back OTer the road you came and
marvel that you were ever able to
make It?
Or do you take yourself for granted
and consider that tt Is the most nat
ural thing In the world for you to be
where you are and doing what you
are?
Or have yon been so excruciatingly
busy trying to get somewhere that
yon have bad no time to take these
little mental Invoices to discover Just
where you are and why and for how
long?—Life.
Nelson and Villeneuve.
When Nelson fell at Trafalgar he
was only forty-seven years old. and
the French commander. Admiral de |
Villeneuve. was only forty-two. The |
latter was a brilliant sailor, who had |
already fought against Nelson, and he
thoroughly realized what the English >
tactics were going to be on this ocea |
sion. Indeed, be held a meeting of the i
captains of the allied fleet and lucidly
explained them. Nelson would not. he
said, form line of battle parallel with j
the allied line. “He will seek to pierce ■
our line, surround our rear and over 1
power with groups of his vessels as I
many of ours as be can cut off.” Still, i
although prepared for this form of at j
tack. Villeneuve failed to resist it, and |
he was taken prisoner, bitterly regret j
ting that no shot had dealt him the
same fate as Nelson.—London Chronl
cle.
How Words Chang*.
A century and a half ago “fun." a
word of Irish origin, was considered
“shockingly low." "Mob." too. was a
word “no self respecting gentleman
would use” till Pope boldly wrote “the J
mob of gentlemen who write with
ease.” Of “humbug” a writer In 1730
said: “1 will venture to affirm that
this ’humbug' is neither an English
word nor a derivative from any other
language. It is. Indeed, a blackguard
sound, it is a fine makeweight In con
versation. and some great men deceive
themselves so egregiously as to think
they mean something by it.’’
—
A Desperate Charge.
“They charged like demons," said
the retired colonel excitedly. “I never
saw anything to touch It. The way
they charged positively staggered me."
"Whom does he mean?" whispered
the man who bad Just come in to his
neighbor. “Is he talking about one of
his old battles?”
“So.” refilled the other. “He’s talk ^
tag about the holiday he spent at the
Swiss hotel.”—Liverpool Mercury.

DISGRACED THE SENTINEL
For Not Killing tho Army Chlof Who
Hod Struck Him.
In Franco In the seventeenth century
the office of sentinel was a very solemn
charge, and a pnrt of the sentinel's
duty was to resent nnd punish any af.
front The severity of this punish
ment was In proportion to the high Im
portance of his office, A Frenchman
relates an lucldent Illustrative of this
fact:
In 1022 M. de Marillac rode away on
horseback from an audience with the
king. His horse steptn-d on a senti
nel's fool. The man struck the horse,
which leaped forward and shook M. de
Marillac In his saddle.
The rider turned and struck the sen 1
tineL The soldier belonged to the com
pany of M de Goas, who when he
beard of tills had him arrested and lin
prisoned He himself set out sword
In hand. In search of XI. de Marillac to
demand satisfaction for an Insult to his
sentinel
The king was Informed or the Inc!
dent nnd sent for XI. de 0<>:is and XI
de .Marillac He reprimanded de Marti,
lac severely, told him that the sentinel ■
should have killed him nnd forbade
him to exercise his command ns chief
marshal for six days
The sentluel was tried before a coun
ell of war nud was sentenced n9 a pen
alty for not killing De Xlnrillnc to ba
deprived of his arms lu the presence of
his regiment and to be tortured by the
strappado—that Is. to be hoisted by a
rope to a beam nnd let fall. The king
pardoned the man. but XI. de Goas
would not have him in his company
sgaim- Washington Star.
Needed It.
Old .Clilef Singiug Hound wag a
patriarchal Indian on one of the far
western reservations. Tourists fre
quently visited the old man. He had
the dignity of a king and a taciturn
disposition that belied his name.
One day a party of eastern travelers
hunted out the old man. Among them
was a young woman who was togged
out in the latest style. Her neck was
bare, as were her arms. Her garments
-what there were of them—were
skimpily cut.
She was fascinated by the chief
Fixing her large, calflike eyes upon
him. she stared and stared exactly ns
though he were a griffin or a unicorn.
The chief began to show symptoms of
being excessively bored. He eyed the
young woman from head to foot in a
chilling manner, but it did not do a
particle of good.
Finally the young woman spoke.
"What a perfectly lovely blanket!" :
she exclaimed. "I wish I had it!" She
referred to the blanket which enwrap
ped the chief.
Without a word he removed It and
tossed it at her feet. He gave her—
and her costume—a parting glance.
“Yon take um,” he grunted. "You
need um most!"
And he stalked away. — Pittsburgh
Press.
Frederick’s War on Coffee.
In a manifesto issued by Frederick
the Great In 1779 the mighty monarch
deplored "the increased consumption
of coffee by my subjects and the
amount of money that goes out of the
country in consequence. Everybody Is
using coffee This must no longer be
My subjects must drink beer. His
majesty was brought up on beer, and
so were his ancestors. Innumerable i
battles have been fought and won by
soldiers nourished on beer, and the
king does not believe that coffee drink
ing soldiers can be depended upon to
endure hardships or to conquer his en
emies should another war occur.” Cof
fee roasting was made a government
monopoly, and a prohibitive price was
charged for the berry. “Coffee smell
ers" were appointed ail over Prussia
to check Illicit roasting. Coffee was
therefore ousted from popular favor. •
Reformed.
“Pa, Jimmy Green, the toughest
fighter In our gang, has reformed. He
says it’s wrong to fight”
“Do you believe him?"
“I would but for one thing.”
“What's that?"
“He never talked that way until he
broke his arm.”—Detroit Free Press.
Their Five Heavens.
According to the Ptolemaic system of
astronomy, there were five heavens, or '
firmaments, the last of which was the
seat of the "pure elemental fire,” and
the seat of deity. This fifth or highest
heaven was called the empyrean, from
the Gieek “en-fui,” which means “In
fire.”
