POINDEXTER’S IDEA
Washington, D. C.,—Senator
Miles Poindexter, of Washing
ton state, introduced a resolution
in the Senate recently authoriz
ing the president to construct a
railroad system in Alaska and
also a steamship line from Seat
tle to the north. The resolution
also provides for the leasing of
one-half the coal lands for com
mercial purposes, the remainder
to he held by the government for
'naval coaling purposes.
! Alaska Glaciers Are Receding.
Juneau_C. U. Andrews, who is
becoming famous as a nature
photographer, mountain climber
and authority on the physical re
sources ami characteristics of
Alaska, says the glaciers Of
Southeastern Alaska are reced
ing and diminishing in size at a
more rapid rate than is generally
believed.
Mr. Andrews returned the oth
er day from Skagway in the vi
cinity of which he spent some
time in the mountains and val
leys. lie visited the “S,” the
“Upper" and Denver glaciers on
the Skagway river, which he had
not seen for ten pears, lie says
that the “S" and "Upper” gla
ciers that were united ten years
ago an- now separated by not
less than a quarter of a mile, and
that Denver glacier has .receded
at least a quarter of a mile in
that time, and the face of the
ice has changed s(> that it is im
possible to get on the glacier
from the front.
Mr. Andrews says that while
those that are interested in tour
ist travel in Alaska will not have
to chase advertising the glaciers
as among the attractions for
some time, the ice is gradually
disappearing, and with its disap
pearance, of course, the weal her
will become milder.
To do with as few things as
we can, to see to it that these
things are the work of freemen
and not of slaves; these two
seem to me to be the main duties
to be fulfilled by those who wish
to live a life at once free and
refined, serviceable to others,
and pleasant to themselves.—
William Morris.
V. A. Paine, deputy clerk of the
court, is assisting the clerical
force of the Alaska Road Com
mission, during his vacation.

The Actor He Wanted.
Reinhardt, the producer, was ask
ed by a friend to interest hfmself in
a young man with histrionic inten
tions.
“Is he tall?” he inquired sharply.
“Yes,” was the assuring response.
“Handsome?”
“Very.”
“Dress well?”
“Exceptionally so.”
“Good voice?”
“Voice like a bell.”
“Then I don't want him,” re
plied Reinhardt, with a decision
which left no room for further
pleading. Then he is said to have
found Joseph Kurtz—small, shabby,
unprepossessing, with no volume of
voice—and gave Germany one of its
greatest actors.—New York Times.
Unlearned, but Wise.
“I’m after justice rather than
law,” said John Dudley, who for
twenty-one years, from 1770 to
1791, was one of the most popular
judges of New Hampshire. He was
unlearned in the law, and his edu
cation was so defective that he
could not write five consecutive sen
tences in correct English, yet so ac
ceptably did he .discharge his ju
dicial duties that Chief Justice Par
sons of Massachusetts, one of the
most learned of lawyers, said of
him, “We may smile at his law and.
ridicule his language, yet Dudley,
take him all in all, was the greatest
and best judge I ever knew in New
Hampshire.”
The Mirror Egg Test.
A test that is a good one and
may be made in a light room is the
mirror test. A mirror is placed at
the bottom of a box. The lid of
the box is fitted with holes large
enough to accommodate an egg
without being large enough to let
it slip through. At the end of the
lid is an opening wide enough for
both eyes of the operator, who shuts
out the light when holding his face
close to the opening. The fresh
eggs appear clear in the mirror,
while the spoiled ones appear aa
