EDITORIAL
SELF CONTROL.
Self control, however difficult
at first, becomes step by step
easier and more delightful. We
possess mysteriously a sort of
dual nature, and there are few
truer triumphs than to obtain
thorough command of oneself.
LAW T<> INJOTECT CREDITORS
WILL BE CONSIDERED
Wholesalers and others engaged
witli business firms in Alaska will
subaii' a "Bulk Sales Law" to the
Alaska Legislature fur considera
tiou at i's uest session. The law
is designed to protect creditors
w .'.en a business house is sold out
iu bulk—th;4 is where the pro
;'ri'or sells his store or other busi
iit'is us a whole. Su<h a law is
low in effect 'u practically ever}
sta'e iu the Union.
A committee of ihe credit men of
Seat'le wholesale houses had a
meeting the other day with Alaska
be.-i of the Legislature who are
iu Seattle and soniQ Alaska busi
ness men at the Hotel Wsahington
;•.» which this matter was discussed,
'•'he need for such legislation was
testified to by the Alaskans pres
"ut, and the advantage of such a
law to wholesalers is obvious.

ZEPPELIN AIR CRAFT.
j Aluminum Girders and Hoops Lins
These Monster Balloons.
The technical details In the construc
tion of Zeppelin air craft are explain
ed In a journal named the Aeroplane.
The visible exterior part of the Zep
pelin Is merely the clotli or fabric cov
ering of the framework, which consists
of sixteen girders made of very thin
aluminum. The girders run from end
to end of the ship, parallel for most of
their length and turning inward to
meet one another at nose nnd tall.
The cylindrical body of the Zeppelin
may therefore be said to have sixteen
sides on account of the sixteen girders.
To keep these longitudinal girders,
or "stringers." in position there are
thwartshlp girders, which run like
hoops around the ship and act like the
ribs of a boat. There are generally
about eighteen boop girders, spaced an
equal dVance, one f,om another, and
they are braced across and across in
side each boop to the next by wire
bracing, so that they cut up the whole
skeleton into a succession of compart
ments, each of which—except the end
compartments—has flat ends and sis
teen sides.
In each of these compartments is a
gas bag standing on Its edge. The
Idea is that if one gas bag springs a
leak or Is punctured by a projectile
only that one bag collapses, and the
weighting of the ship is so arranged
that even If four or Ave gas bags are
entirely deflated those that remain will
float the ship after all ballast, ammuni
tion and other nonessentials have been
thrown overboard.— London Standard.
Proverbs of tha Highway.
Thank the Lord that most of the
deep rivers to cross are those we see
In dreams.
Don't want a world so bright that
wo won't enjoy the glory that's wait
in? for us hereafter.
We spend lots o' time praying for
Providence to help us, and it never
occurs to us to surprise Providence by
helping ourselves.
It's too great a compliment to trou
ble to be always hunting It—especial
ly when you know the old fellow will
come to you if you only wait for him.
—Atlanta Constitution.
Filling a Sack.
The clumsy performance of holding
a sack and filling it at the same time
can be simplified if the sack is hung In
a barrel. Four curved nails are placed
at equal distances in the rim, and the
sack is suspended from these. When
it is filled the sack can be easily re
moved.
Question of Credit.
"Do you think the world owes you a
living?"
"Yes. P.tit the world's like a bank.
V'ou've got to co to some trouble to
set yourself Identified as the person to
whom the living is due."—Washington
Star.
Like a Wet Blanket.
Ilokus—I never knew such a wet
blanket as Flubbub. Pokus—That's
right. If that fellow should jump from
the frying pan into the tire be would
put the (Ire out.
The Reason.
"That young follow is always com
plaining lie cannot And an opening."
"That is why he Is always In the
hole."—Baltimore American.
Olve no reins to your Inflamed pas
sloiis. Take time and a little delay.
Impetuosity manages all things badly.
—Statins.
A Mighty Bridge.
In the Forth bridge there is a hori
zontal pull of 1(>.000 tons on the chief
spaus aud a weight of 100.000 tons on
their bases. Half a dozen British iron
clads mii;bt be hung upon them with
out causing any undue strain.—London
Telegraph.
Nearer the Truth.
"So that pretty canvasser sold you a
book, eh?"
"No; she sold me a couple of smiles
and threw in the book."—Louisville
Courier Journal.
Happiness In this world, when it
does come, comes Incidentally.—Haw
thorne.
The Terrible Police.
When the scheme was first broached
fierce opposition developed to the es
tablishment of London's metropolitan
police In September, 1S29. Police to
patrol the streets of London? Such a
scheme was "repugnant to the spirit of
English law aud to the theory of free
government." according to an editorial
In the Standard of the day. "As a
system of clandestine intelligence the
thing is complete." it went on. "The
low constable is instructed to make
himself acquainted with the Inhab
itants of every house within his beat
And how is this information to be ob
tained but by the pumping of the serv
ants?"

amusing episode. During n visit to a

name, sir?" "Edmund Rostand."
"Your vocation?" "Man of letters and
