International Questions.
International questions constitute
one of the greatest known boons of
the human race. International ques
tions are so broad that they do not re
quire any close reasoning In order to
express opinions about them. That Is
their great beauty. One can strike lu
almost anywhere without any great
danger of bitting bottom, slid one can
say almost anything about an Interna
tional question without being called to
account except by some one who Is
equally unreliable. Local questions are
quite different in that reflect Local
questions are much tuo:-e prosaic and
less romantic. One must be surer of
his data and more consistent In his
conclusion. In explaining local ques
tions there is always danger that the

liner Kansas City from the Union
I-on Works at San Francisco a
ft'w months ago, and with the clos
ing of negotiations just begun by
Mr. Baxter in the East the com
pany will enter the 1916 Alaska
season with four new steamers.
The purchase of the Aroline will
increase the Alaska fleet of the
Pacific Alaska Navigation Company
by three vessels, the Admiral line
having purchased two freighters on
the Great Lakes, which are now
known as the steamers Admiral se
bree and Admiral Clark. These
vessels will reach Seattle in time
to ulil iu moving the rush, of
freight to the Northland in the
early spring.
The Pacific Coast Steamship
Ccmpany has purchased the steam
er Kavalli from the Hammond Lum
ber Company and will operate her
ia the Southeastern Alaska trade
out o* this port. Tho vessel is
both a freight and passenger car
rier.
The Pacific Const Steamsnip com
pany will have tlie fine freight aQd
passenger carriers Spokane and'
City cf Seattle on the Southeast

mer, both improved by the in
stalliiig of oil burning systems.
The steamer Humboldt, of the
Humboldt Steamship Company hrs
been in San Francisco undergoing
her annual overhauling, and left
the Golden Gat» February 20 for
Seattle with freight and passengers.
The vessel will resume her ser
vice from this port to Southeastern
Alaska soon after her arrival, ply
iug in the freight and passenger
trade.
It was reported yeaterday that

the BordeT Line Transportation Co.
has plans for increased service this
spring from Seattle toi Southeast
ern Alaska ports.
Seattle's trade with Alaska dur
ing l'tla, according to the Teport of
Port Warden Paysse, was valued at
$42 £10,483, the largest in. the
history of the port, but it is free
ly predicted that the commerce
with the Northland during 1916
will be much greater, requiring ad
ditional vessels on both the South
eastern and Southwestern Alaska
routes.
Foresight of Osio.
King Victor was brought up by Colo
nel Oslo with a Spartan severity. As a
boy he was subject to colds, and one
pouring wet morning another tutor pro
posed that the usual ride should be
abandoned. "And if there were a
war," replied the martinet, "would the
prince not mount because he had a
cold?"—London Globe.
Probably.
Sally Gay—1 have just been reading
that a well known scientist predicts
that man will reach a condition where
he will be toothless and hairless and
walk on all fours. Jack Swift—And
will woman continue to pursue what is
left of him with the same avidity as of
yore?—Boston Journal.
Our Navy a Century Ago.
One hundred .rears ago the naval
force of the United States on the At
lantic coast consisted of thirty-three
vessels, twenty-seven of which were
in commission. Among them were a
dozen great ships, first class frigates
and sloops of war. some of them car
rying as many as seventy-four guns
each. They were nil sailing vessels.
The era of the steam warship, how
ever, was close at iinniL With the aid
of an appropriation from congress
there was now nearing completion a
"floating steam battery," designed by
Robert Fulton. Thi* ship, which was
launched a few months later, was the
Grst steam war vessel ever built an-'
was destined to revolutionize the meth
od9 of naval warfare throughout tho
world.—Exchange.
India's Hoarded Gold.
For many years London has been
steadily drained of her gold by India.
In ten years India has absorbed from
circulation 150.000.000 gold sovereigns
and hoarded them away. The coolie
has learned that silver rupees are a
poor investment, especially if he melts
them Into anklets or a nose ring for
his wife, as over 30 per rent of the
silver is lost In the melting pot, while
the gold sovereign preserves Its value
whether he keeps it as a coin or melts
It. When a co»lie collects 15 ru
pees which he finds to be temporarily
surplus he buys a sovereign with it
He has come to understand the wis
dom of hoarding away only the gold
coin, which be knows he can always
realize on at it-s original value.
African Fashion Notes.
The prettiest dress of the Mponjpre
woman is a clotb drawn up under the
arms, a scarf 011 the shoulders and a
handkerchief folded over the coiled
hair iu a high stilT fold set well up on
the head, rather like a child's idea of
a crown. There is a gren t fancy for
p'irples and lavenders set off with
shades of rose and red and a sudden
keen note of trilt With black there
will be a touch of most delicious bright
green A cloth and a scarf worn by a
woman of beautiful gesture—and a Ga
bonnaise is always that—have a certain
mutable charm; the movements of the
body, the wind that blows from tbe
sea—these renew and display the folds
of the garment so that the eye is in
trigued. -Atlantic.
