EUGEVIC BAIIIKS OfCl'i'V
CAGKS FROM Dot; SHOW
University o£ Washington, April
S—Cagt-s which were occupied last
year by the blooded pups of local •
fraternities were turned over to the j
management o£ the eugenic baby
show at the "country fair" given
by the Woman's league la: t Satur
day.
Chortling Infants of unusual size
wero surveyed by the crowd, which
contributed more than $500 in
profits to the league. Kveu 'he
incubator baby filled a six-foot
case. A shaving mug was a prize
for tile best baby, adjudged by fac
ulty 'at hers. Perhaps need of the
prize affected the judges, for some
of the babies forgot to shave be
fore going on exhibition.
The '«aby show was but one of til
burlesque features. A scholarship
fuud for needy women students will
absorb a part of the receipts from
the fair.
Doctors are notoriously their
own raodt disbedieut patients. I's
ually they eat and sleep irregular
ly, they are out in all kinds of
weather, and they hesitate at no j
danger of contagion or infection:
yet of the 2,205 ihysicians who i
died in the United States last year,
214 were more than eighty years j
old, and twenty-one of them mere
than ninety. The average age was
about sixty-one years. Probably
doctors dose themselves less than
other people do.—Youth's Com
panion.
The Alameda came in at 11
o'clock this morning with 25 first

port. The vessel continued on her
run to the westward shortly after
noon.

ST AGIOS LADEX WITH HEX
FRl'IT BREAK THROUGH ICE
Whitehoree Star, Axiril 9th: Tlirea
White Pass sleighs laden with eggs
and being hauled down the river
enroute to the foot of Lake Le
Barge, broke through the ice last
Friday near the mcuth of the
Tahkini rivpr thirteen miles below
Whitehorse. The team hauling
the sleds, which were being trail
ed did not get into the water.
While nearly three liundred cases
of the eggs were in the water for
a short time, only a few dozen
cases were broken. The others
were rescued as speedily as possible
and were brought back to White
horse ou Monday when Supt. Casii
put a forte of "egg wipers" to work
with the result that the most of
the consignment will be llttlo the
worse for the accident, but the pro
fit of transportation will be rude
'v shattered.
The local freight shed now pres
ents a scene worth witnessing—
something like 100,000 of eggs ly
ing on canvas on the floor. The
'fillers" are being dried and the
eggs will be repacked. As the
shipment was destined for Fair
banks from Seattle, the eggs are
in bond and cannot bo disposed of
locally. For this reason all damag
ed eggs, even those but slightly
cracked, have been thrown into the
river.
ALASKA SLUICES ARE
USED IN" SIBERIA
Alaskan sluices were introduced
last year for the first time in the
history of the Lena Goldfields pro
perty, Siberia, and recovered from
3 6 to 98 per cent of the gold, com
pared with *8 to 93per cent by the
trommel machlitei aud other Siberi
an mehods employed. It has been
decided to supplant all washing ma
chines and Siberian sluices (kuii
binas), by the Alaskan type of
sluices as fast as possible.—Min
ing Press.
Jack McBrien, of Skagway, black
smith for tho B. Y. N. Co. at
