"America For Americans
I IE is AX ALASKAN BOY
Raymond Johnson, for the ap
pointment of whom to the United
Spates Naval Academy the An
chorage .Democrat criticised former
Delegate Wickersham, is an Alas
kan buy. He was born at Tread
well, and was a resident at Juneau
at the time of his appointment.
H0 has lived all of his life in Al
aska—except for a year and a half
wheu ha was attending ahigh school
in Seattle. He was appointed by
the 'neti delegate upon the recom
mendation of the Juneau school
board. He is an excellent type of
what Alaska can do in producing
youi g men, and his appointment was
liighl" pleasing to his hundreds of
Alaska friends. His presence in
Tatorna 13 due to the circumstance
'hat he is attending a United States
nav-U preparatory school there, pre

EYES OF PROSPECTORS
FASTENED ON SIBERIA
The next big gold rush, Alaska
jMOcipectors say, will be in Siberia,
according to the Alaska Spokes
man of Juneau.
That that country is rich in
gold, especially that portion oppo
site Nome, is well known here,
ilauy Alaska prospectors can verify
tha» frcm actual knowledge. Jaffet;
.Lindebcrg found tremdous quanti
ties of it on Siberian beaches, but
the Russian government turned his
pockt *8 inside out, and he left his
placer and returned to N«?me..
Ota t Alaska prospectors who vis
ited ?ho country had similar experi
ence. They found gold in plenty,
but thev found also, the emisaries
of the Czar, and a set of laws which
plundered the prospector, and prac
tically prohibited mining.
Jt is generally believed in Ju
neau Hat the revolution will be
followed by the passage by the
Duma of favorable mining laws, and
man? residents of the Gastjneau
channel who have followed prospect
ing all their lives, except to make
for that country whenever the ex
pected changes occur.
Former residents of Nome now
livrg ia Juneau believe that this
may more than restore the former
prosperity of Nome. It ia probable
that expeditions will ba outfitted
from there, as Siberia can be reach
ed frcm Nonig ia comparatively
small beats.
Air and Hungtr.
Experiments have shown that the
air of an unventilated, occupied room
contains substances which in some way
and without producing conscious dis
comfort and detectable .physiological
symptoms diminishes the appetite for
food.—Exchange.

Arjenic Absorbed by Hair.
New light lias been thrown on the
legal side of arsenic poisoning, says
the Scientific American. It has been
found that arsenic compounds are ab
sorbed by the hair of living persons,
though not absorbed after death. In
the hair of man arsenic has been
known to reach a concentration of one
to five parts la 100,0(j0. The deposit
takes place In the hair after It has
been absorbed by the abdominal or
gans, Uver and kidneys lu particular.
Therefore In cases of acute, quick
poisoning a chemical analysis of the
hair would show no arsenic, while It
would be fouud In the liver and kid
neys. On the other hand. If slow ar
senic poisoning were suspected anal
ysis would show arsenic In the hair,
but not In the liver and kidneys, and
it could safely be assumed that the
poisoning was not recent The legal
value of such evidence Is apparent.
Tha African Marriage System.
Tou cannot fancy how deeply com
plicated the African marriage system
U or how many ramifications tJbere
may be to a "woman's palaver." One
day Mr. Hemlnger was sitting In a
hut talking with two members of his
congregation, wives of one husband.
He was talking to them about their
sins, which were of an obvious charae
ter. The younger woman had been ac
cused of stealing food. Then he turned
to the eider, W'awa. she of the ten
children, live of them dead and five of
them cruel.
"Wana," he said, "why cannot you
live at peace with this wife of your
husband? Why are you always quar
rellng?" (They are notorious scrap
pers.) "Well." said Wawa, "she was
bought with one of my children, and 1
cannot forget It. '—Jean Kenyon Mac
kenzie In Atlantic.
Selfishness.
It is curious how little selfishness is
understood. It Is generally assumed
to be an Intense regard for oneself,
when In reality It Is a supreme disre
gard.
Cnselfishness, on the other baud. Is
a higher regard for oneself.
Selfishness Is only a form of destruc
tion. It Is produced by soul avarice.
What we put Into ourselves drSws no
interest. It is constantly deteriorating
In value. Selfishness Is an Ingrowing
shortsightedness. Selfishness Is also a
form of sincerity. Selfish people de
ceive nobody. They wear their selfish
ness on their sleeves Their sincerity
about It Is something so apparent as
almost to cause n sense of admiration
for its genuineness.—Life.
Hot Cross Bun In History.
The hot efu^.s bun has both antiquity
and tradition in Its favor. Its history
traces back not only to the time of
Cecrops and Astarte, but also to the
Jewish pas^over cakes and the cross
marked wafer or eueharlstlc bread
adopted by the early Christians and
mentioned in St. Chrysostom'a liturgy.
The substitution of the cross mark for
ihe horn mark on the surface of the
bun by tiie Greeks is supposed to hare
been done for the purpose of dividing
more easily the buD into four equal
parts. Similar cross marked buns were
found in the ruins of Elerculaneum.
A Success After All.
"What became of the Yardle girl
who was ambitious for a stage ca
reer?"
"She turned out much better than
her friends expected."
"You don't mean to tell me she's
starring now?"
t "Xo, indeed. She's the mother of
six children and has a husband who
doesn't run around at night."—Bir
mingham Age-Herald.
Busy.
"Loafley tells me he hasn't been so
busy for years."
"Nonsense! That Job he has Is a
clnch. He never has to work hard
there."
"That's Just It He's been fired, and
he's chasing around after another Job
now."—Exchange.

LATE PRESERVES.
Honeyed oranges. —cm the
oranges in crosswise slices three
eighths of an luch in thickness,
discarding the seeds. Cover the slices
with cold water and let stand over
night. Cook till tender. Add half the
weight of the cooked orange and liquid
tn honey and half the weight In sugar
and cook till liquid Is well reduced.
Honey may be used in whole or in part
in making preserves.
Glace Crabapple.—Select a hard, red
variety of crabapple. Use only per
fect fruit. For a peck of apples take
Ave pounds of granulated sugar. Wash
and wipe the fruit, leaving on the
stems if desired. Put the fruit and
sugar in stone jars or casseroles in
layers, adding cinnamon and cassia
buds to taste. Cover the jars wltfc
buttered paper. Hake in slow over
two and one-half hours. These inaj
be stored as canned fruit, but will keep
in the earthen Jars.
I'alsin and Cranberry Jam.—uuecup
ful of large seeded raisins, one quart
of cold water, one quart of cranberries
and two and one-half eupfuls of sugar.
Cook the raisins In water until the wa
ter Is reduced one-half. Add the cran
berries and sugar and let simmer til'
thick.
Brandied Pea -hes.—Make a sirup In
the same way as for preserving. Let
It come to a lioll and skim it Lay
enough of peaches in the bottom of the
preserving kettle to cook them until
they are tender and transparent Lift
out the fruit carefully and place 11
without breaking It into jars. Crack
wne of the stones and extract the
kernels, which add to the sirup, and
cook for fifteen minutes more. Now
add half a cupful of brandy to each
pound of fruit and take at once from
the fire. Strain the hot sirup and pour
It over the peaches In the jars. Seal
at once.
History.
The real history of the human race
is the history of tendencies which are
perceived by the mind and not of
events which are discovered by the
senses.—Buckle.
Historical facts should not he a bur
den to the memory, but an illumina
tion of the soul.—Lord Acton.
History ought surely in some degree,
If It Is worth anything, to anticipate
the lessons of time. V.'e shall all no
doubt be wise after the event; we
study history that we may be wise be
fore the event.—Seeley.
Turned Down.
"I'd go to the end of the world for
fan, girlie."
"Go as far as you like, but don't both
er to buy a return ticket."—St. I.ouls
