Does it Pay?
Prof Irving Fisher, Profes- j
sor on Politieial Ecouomey at
Yale University and president
of the committee of one hun
dred on national health says.
“All of the wheat raised in I
America in one year will pay !
our drink bill for eighty days.
Coal produced in one year will j
pay for it for less than S3 days.
Customs and International rev
enue for one year would pay j
the drink bill for less than 85 j
days. The gross expenses of
the Post Office department1
pays the bar bill for less than
thirty days.. Cost of the War
Department would keep the
liquor customers supplied for
less than 20 days The gold
and silver miner annually in
the U. S. would pay only 17
days drink bill. Thirty-five
percent of the cost of main
tenance of the nine Massachu
setts Insane Asylums and 48
per cent of the cost of the poor
farms and other pauer relief
and 50 per cent of the cost of
pensions were taken, and the
total was twice the amount re
ceived by taxes, licenses, etc..
And again we ask. does it

business standpoint. saying

The Fairbanks Times say
that real estate dealers expect
things to become lively with
the passage of the Alaska rail
road hill by Congress. It say
already several important sales
are under way on account of
the probability of the passage
of the measure.
The delinquent taxes due the
municipality of Wraugell
amount to less than -5100.

The Fairbanks Times savs
that many small plants are
working on Fairbanks creek
and that many of the outfit -
expect to operate on an exten
sive scale next summer. L.
Rogge is working on Pat Mee
han’s ground at the mouth of
Alder creek; L. C. Hess and
James Pearsons have men
working on No- 1, Alder creek,
and on No. 1, above, right

Pastime Mining company has
found pay.

United States army engineers
have decided that the dredg
ing of the Apoon mouth of the
Yukon river is impracticable

The Prince Rupert Empire
quotes E. J. White, of the
Whitehorse Star, as saying
that the completion of the
Grand Trunk railroad will di
vert much of the Southeastern
Alaska trade to that place. He
thinks people going to the
States will take their trains at
that place.

A well-known Klondiker who
has just returned from a trip
up the White river to the Chi
ana camp states that there is
more genuine prospecting on

in the White river valley, than
in the whole Chisana district
proper, on the Alaskan side

Thackeray In Baltimore.
The first and only time I saw him
(Thackerayi was in Baltimore when 1
was seventeen years old.
He and John P. Kennedy, a friend
of my father, strolled one Saturday
afternoon iuto the Mercantile library,
where we boys were reading.
"Look!" came from a tangle of legs
and arms bunched up iu an adjoining
easy chair. "That's the Mr. Thackeray
who is lecturing here.”
My glance followed a directing fin
ger and rested on a tall, rather un
graceful figure, topped by a massive
head framed about by a friuge of
whitish hair, short, fuzzy whiskers,
crumply collar and black stock. Out
of a pink face peered two sharp, in
quiring eyes, these framed again by
the dark rims of a pair of heavy spec
tacles. which, from my point of sight,
became two distinct dots in the round
of the same pink face. The portrait
of Horace Greeley widely published
during his presidential campaign—the
one all throat whiskers and specta
cles—has always recalled to my mind
this Hash glimpse of the great author,
whom I afterward learned to revere.—
F. Hopkinson Smith iu "Iu Thack
eray's Loudon.”
Oddities of Moss,
The lichen is a very strange plant,
and moss is almost as queer. Like the
lichen, moss is hard to kill, and for
the same reason. Although it loves
water, it can dry up without doing it
self the least harm and then neither
cold uor heat can hurt it.
Mosses that have been kept for years
will come to life and grow again if
they can get water. Even artificial
drying, greater than anything they
would ever have to endure in nature,
does U"t kill them. A German scien
tist brought a piece of moss to life
after it had been kept eighteen months
in a drier. This, by the way. is a
nice little puzzle for the scientists.
Why should the mosses have a power
of resisting dryness so much greater
than they need? No one has been able
to find the answer yet. and there are
many puzzles of the same kind in na
ture
Even if the moss is broken to pieces
in its dry state no barm is done, be
cause each separate piece will grow
into a new plant-—Philadelphia Led

Silkworm Fish Lines.
China produces quantities of the glu
tinous thread generally known as silk
fishing line or silkworm gut. The so
called silk fish line or silkworm gut is
usually prepared from silkworms in
the caterpillar state. When the worms
are about to spin their cocoons they
are killed by lightly pulling them so
as fo break their skins, after which
they are immersed iu vinegar for a
considerable period. Then they are
pulled apart in a way to draw out a
long, glutinous thread formed by the
silky secretion of the worm. This
thread is then stretched on a board or
otherwise and dried in the sun. In
the West river district about Wuchau,
whence most of the Hongkong exports
come, the silkworm is usually a spe
cial wild green variety about three
inches long and is fed on leaves of the
camphor tree. The threads vary in
length from three to six feet
Stoking the Meat.
In "Our Southern Highlanders’’ Hor
ace Kepbart says:
"The mountaineers have an odd wav
of sharing the spoils of the chase,
'{'fcey call it ’stoking the meat’—a use
of the word ’stoke’ that l have never
heard elsewhere. The hide Is sold
and the proceeds divided equally
among hunters, hut the meat is cut up
into as many pieces as there are part
ners in the chase. Then one rnan goes
indoors or behind a tree, and some
body at the carcass calls out. ’Whose
piece is this?
“’Granville Calhoun’s.* cries the hid
den man. who cannot see It.
" ’Whose is this?
” ‘Bill Cope s,’
"And so on down the line. Every
body get* what chance determines
for him, and there can he no charges
of unfairness.”
