PROGRESS IX ALASKA
Encouraging progress is report
ed iii the construction of tlie'gov
ernment railway in Alaska through
the division of Industry ut three
itr,»ortant points on the. lines.
Five hundred moi* axe rehtibittat
i tht Alaska Northern railway,
i L't ti Seward, and trains are now
operating over seventy-one miles 01
the line. Along Tu-rnagain.- Arm,
e\; "i-ive rock work ia "being accom
piished. Four -miles of this are
e :ti mated to cost $250,000. From
Fairbanks to X en an a, .fifty-seven
1 Dili's, c": a ring and grading are wel
along. .A t Nonana the government
h;is laid out a townsite and sold
S1U2,000 worth of lots. Five hun
.1 men are building warehouses
and yards and quarters for em
ployes. From Xeuo.na to the 003
.fields, fifty miles south, grading
is progressing. Trains w\ill be run
ni;;^ x'rem Fairbanks to the coa'
fields by the fall of 191".
Wit & the development 'of the gov
p-rrnent railway plans and the pro
.press in construction, an active in
teres-; has been stimulated in th«
agricultural lands of the Tanana
vallev. Many homes.ter.da have bee
taken and atrinltnnl development
is further advanced than on th<
coast. Tanana valley farmers no"»
furnish nearly all the vegetables
consumed in the interior of Alas
ka, and very few perishable suoplie
are beinc imported.*
Hneurh has been iv-complishec
iu the Tanana. valley, as well as or
thv lands In theSusjtna and Chi tin a
galleys, farther 6outh, to asu-re the
futuro profitable operation of Al
asfc-, farms. The land and indus
trial department of the Alaska en
gineerirg commission is gathering
•jrractica. information as to the ag
ricultural possibilities, "for the in
formation of intending settlers, and
tn;< publicity will bear fruit'in 0
tide of settlers next season.—P.-I.
let child make his choice
Be sure taat your child haa a wil
of tiis own, and is not merely da>'
after day .following the dictates d1
yours, lias he an interest in lif€
'1 his own, inldvidual, personal, tc

inferest that you have, "or is he mere

i;:; ,is you think, doing as you do
or <. unmand. never making a cho>ic<
t'i>r himself? Has he etroog lik®s

strong desire and determination tc
ding to the thing he believes to be
■ i" - e'tteT value; or have you so dii
■ ra/cd him in chocsing and cling
file to h'-s -choice that he is ready
to give in at your -word or relln
nufeh. a* a .frown or 'a -warning
word from you? Perhaps you thin
it is a good trait that he is gentle
and yielding; that he lets you de
cide for him and never opposes his
will to 'your own; but does it not
f'ccur to j;ou that later thic tenden
cy to vield 'and let others do Ms
thinking for him may be'a danger
and a menace in his life? So long
as you do thfis thinklrg for him, per
caps he Is safe. but what aJ>o«t the
day -when he will yield weakly to
the 'wishes and opinions of others
who aTe perbats not trustworthy?
You will blamo him then for hav
ing go little will -of his own; yet
the blame, "after all, will rest upon
you -who'taught him in his early
years *hat it wes a virtue to let
others think for -hint, instead 'of

The most 'practlde way I know
of developing u well-balanco^ will
in a child la to begin* as early <as
poseibl® 'ito givo him a choice, to
.help him to make aw is© choice, and
•then to holfe Mm to stick to that
choice. Ha should )>• taiught as
early as posibla that iue Is here to

must be taught to thtnfc; of Belf
control not as a gloomy; thing, but
as a joyous thing; -ralthre, amd. the

Dye Befors You Patoh.
"Never patch a garment Just before it
goes to the dyers," was the advice of a
young woman In a dyeing establish
ment. "Unless the patch and the thread
It is sewed on with are exactly the same
kind of material as the garment they
will come out of the dye pot different
shades. Here is a blue skirt that was
brought to us cream colored. The cloth
had worn through In several places,
and the owner had patched the tinj
holes so painstakingly tlifit the patches
could not be detected i:i the original
color, but a.'ter the dyeing they show
ed up a darker blue. The amount of
lye any material will take depends
upon how much cotton, wool or silk It
contains. It is su hard to determine
that exactly that n; y garment that lias
to he mended can he matched much
better after dyeing." New York Sun
O'd Leather Bottles.
Leather hutt'es. <.r blackjacks, were
common in Kurope two centuries ago
The bottVs were often made of one
skin doubled up an.: cio-cly stitched
together, leaving r.n a; e: If re for the
neck. The stopper was made of wo»d.
horn or old leather. A g'-cd deal «>.

of the leather, which had to he oiled
and worked with hammers to make it
supple and :hou washed with a ly-■ S"

Moth Killer.
If moths get iuto a closet saturate a
cloth twelve inches square with for
maldehyde: place cloth lu the closet
and close up tightly fur twelve hours
The same plan may be used In chests
trunks or boxes where clothing Is
stored. The fumes will kill moths as
well as their eggs.—New York Ameri

OBSCURE HEROES.

Twelve boys took, an abandoned band- j
car and placed it on the Lackawanna
tracks near the ruterson stntlou. l!,v

speeding by aud telegisipue.1 to a low- j

as the express came »round the curve i
behind them, and little t'li-y knew that '
they bad thrown dice with death and j
won, thanks to the foresight of these j
two men on the job.
These are the heroes of peace, these
obscure, unknown men. dviittg their duty I
practically days out of the year J
In the news accou:.t the name of the j
towermau wits not even mentioned, but
he has twelve lives to his credit, and
twelve- homes have I con spared from
mourning, and twelve hoys are given i
another chance to linish their careers.
We get so accustomed to the men |
on the job that we forget what part the j
integrity of the workman plays in the
mechanism of incdcru life, from the
man lu the tower to the trackwalker,
from the engineer to the chief dis
patcher. If nil these cogs were not true
and working in unison every minute In
the hour, where would the safety of
our lives be?
These heroes of peace, who wear no
ribbons aud ineduls and no service
colors, give the lie to those who say
human nature Is not essentially hon
est.—Philadelphia P.uiletin.
Lion Signs In England.
Lions have always been aud are now
very favorite signs In England—lions
white, black, red, brown, golden, yei
iow-red being the most common.
Probably the lied Uon originated with
the badge of John of GaunL duke of
Lancaster, who married the daughter
of Don Pedro, king of Leon and Cas
tile. and who udoptcd the lion ram
pant gules of Leon to represent his
claim to tho throne. Under Richard
and John Hons became the settled
arms of England and were generally
used by those who could find any
claim.—London Mall.
