ALASKA PUIS
^asterutirs seem to be surprised
that canniealism is ao longer prac
ticed in* Alaska. Iu Calumet, Jdas
jsachusetts, the Woranco Valley
Calumot, under tlie caption of
''.Way Up North," by "Chllkoot,"
liaa the following interesting ar
ticle:
Pcoj-le who live here in the ef
l'eto and mothoaten east, where
civilization is three centuries old,
have an idea that ihe far north is
still a howling wilderness, bleak
and cold, with ©veryihiEK iu a
savage s>tat6w
And so thought we, until re
cently when we bad such, notions
blown away by facta brought to
our notice. We always thought of
i Alaska as a country where tho
towns consisted of groups of little
sha..tKS, at the wrter Bide, with
wolves howling a*, the back door
and u polar hear floating on a
uUie of ice past the front door.
Kut. man alive, it ai&'t no Buch
thing. Up in tho modern towns of
Alaska they have the advantages
of churches, schools, opera houses,
progressive stores, up to the jain
ute daily papers, hotels, tele
phones, <md the towns are so
brilliantly electric lighted that,
by comparison, Broadway is Uke a
side street in Bingville; and when
society comes out the gowns just
knock your eye out. They are Im
ported, not from the States, but •
direct from Par-r-r-e-e, and dia- j
monds are plentiful cn all sides. |
When we wero groping in ignor
ance of the real facts, we imagined
that a traveler, overtaken by night,
and applying for lodging, was hand
ed a walrus hido kimona and told
to borrow into a enow bank. Bat,
say, that's another illusion. We
have in haud t'ae advretisements
or Alaska hotels; and tile person
.who has the coia may got accom
modations fit for royalty. Stoam
heat, hot and cold water, and "An
Associated Press newspaper under
your door every moaning."
Years ago, before civilisation
caino to bices the country, the
Alaskans practiced cannibalism, but
it is now obsoleto. Porterhouse
and other stoats, and choice poul
try may be had at reasonable
prices; fcud a missionary may fol
low his calling with safety aaid
his wi rk instead of himself be
Jwtll done.
The trouble with, us hero in the
east, living in the shadow of Bunk
er Hill monument, is we think we j
have a corner oa civilization, and
people living at a Kttle distance
"live eithvr in the jungle or among
icebergs. We don't travel enough
and we don't read enough. Had,
we no; fortunately secured the lit
erature previously mentioned we
wculd have concluded that the
people made their Chrisunao din
uer from a couple of tallow candlao;
but, as matter of foct, juicy tur
keys ohzltd in a thousand ovens,
and the brandy sauce and plum
pudding was right up to the Ritz
Carle* «. standard.

Well, for the Information of thousands of
people who like to know all about a (rood

means, a destroyer or killer of "Herpes." j
Now "Herpes" is the family name of a ,
disease caused by various vegetable par- j
