WHAT OTHE1W THIXK
With but teu days notice the
Juueau-Skagway mail service, vi&
Ju.i] : uiU Eagle River, w:w discon
tinued—summarily plucked — and
the lesidents of those two outly
.'ug pojitts are now whistling far
tiioil- mail, which refuses to appear.
It can, not by that the service to
the point mentioned is to ha dis
coutint'tU entirely as such. treat
ment would net be ia keeping -with
the Alaskan policy of the jwesent
aduiii:istraticui, whkh ia moet lib
oral. But it miu;-t be admitted that
l lie wail department is the most
lack,ward and least progressive, so
far :t Alaska, is couoerned, of all
1 uMit s rev ices. It is not conaisteat
»o build railroads to open up one
part of a country and at the same
time discontinue mail sen-ice to
the detriment of another portion of
t'.at same country. It Is safe to
. ay, however, that provision ' far
servile the two posts above men
tioned will be made in the near
luture. The discontinuing of the
iou* from Juneau to Skagway will
i ocas'on no inconvenience in the
summer season when there are a
ilozou other steamieis carrying mail
between the two points, bit in the
winter season it will work a hard

country, is on his way tothe inter
ior 'o look the field over. During
*ue winter months Mr. Wawrecka
has been In New York tryiug to
v; ' capital interested in the field
oi Alaska, the Yukon amd British
Columbia. _
His investigations cu Wall Street,
reveals the fact that while condi
tion-) are ou the verge of breaking
for the better in 'he Bast, yet ev
eu at ;he 'resent time he reports
that money is exceedingly tight.
Big business is not invest i~g tnor.
ey at the oresent time. Political
conditions are on too unstable a
footing for them to venture forth
a.id carry to completiou any large
plans. -Mr. Wawrecika looks
for a rush of ca<pital in
to the northe. n field in
a s'-ort time. He says that the
lull in real estate ia the east, south
and wee.* will force capital to work
in other fields until that condition
readjusts itself.
.Mr. Wawrecka blames the demo
cratic administration for the
ti^b^aess of money. People a.re
making man ay but the talk and feai
of the loss of their saving has
fnrood t::em to keep it out of cir
culation. "Everything points to a
Republican year in the east," was
nio remarks.
FEAI E OFFICERS

Tho Klnia (Wash.) Chronicle
states that no arrests have been
made in that place for disorderly
conduct, drunkenness or fighting
since the town went dry, January
first. Formerly there were sev
eral arrests of each class named,
every week. The Chronicle adds,
"The peace officers all over the
stat^ are having an easy time of
it since the dry regime began."

of smell and completely derange the

never be used except on prescriptions

they will do is ten fold to the good you

A GERMAN ARW.Y CORPS. '
What'U Means to Move >and Feed and I
Form In Fighti.ig Line.
In the nonrallttary tniiuf there is only j
a vague Idea as to'the<spaee required j
for an army corps.
According to a German .-writer, a Qer- !
man army corps-consists of 41,000 men. I
14,000 horses and 2,400 vehicles. In- |
eluding the cannon. Ssch a body of
men and their belongings on a single
road make a procession about thirty
miles long.
Kven wlieu In fairly close touch with
the enemy the length of a corps Is
about fifteen miles, and ivhen the frort
detachments bccome engaged In a bat
tle it Is five or six hoars before the
men in the rear set into action to as
! slst them.
An army of ten corps would fight oa
j a front about thirty-seven miles Ion;;,
and a ruan who undertook to walk
from one wing to the other would re
quire twelve or fourteen hours to do it.
An army corps consumes nearly 300.
000 pounds of food a day, about 100,
000 pounds for the meu and 200,000
pounds for the horses. Even under the
most favorable conditions it requires a
train of 150 wagous to bring up a day's
food.
Tea Chewers of Siam.
"Chewing tea comes from Slum." said
a traveler. "They call It inieng. It is
In a plug, like chewing tobacco, and It
has a villainous smell. This smell Is
due to the fermentation it has under
gone. The tea that the Siamese em
ploy for chewing purposes Is a very
coarse, runk plant. It Is gathered like
ordinary tea, but the leaves after being
compressed into plugs are burled for
fifteen days. They ferment during
burial. On their resurrection they are
very, very fragrant indeed. The Sia
mese boatmen chew tea. The rickshaw
meu chew It. The litterateurs chew It
They say it makes them work better.
This is probably the truth, for I chew
ed a plug myself In Anam, and It ex
hilarated me strangely. But the after
math was bad—a headache, smarting
eyes and nervous depression."
Home Helps.
"She froze him with u glance."
The man read this aloud from a
noveL
"Try that on the ice cream, my dear,"
he suggested.-Louisville Courier-Jour
nal.

tenderness that we repent of. but our
severity —Eliot.
