TOWN OFSKAWAY
(Contributed.)
A walk around Skagwny will con
vince the most skeptical that this
is far from being a frozen country.
Yesterday—Sunday April '.'6—much
could be seen of awakening plant
life; many trees aro bursting into
loaf, the willows are losing their
catkins and taking on leaves; the
rose bushes in many placts are al
most in lull foliage and in one yard,
that of Mrs. Deverall, a white
currant bush is in bud as:J partly
in blossom. .Mrs. Deverall and others
have sweet peas at least two inches
high and garden peas also above
the ground: pie plant or rhubarb
nearly large enough for cooking. Tha
cowslips or marsh-marigolds along
the streams are making a display of
leaf and bud. columbines, wild and
cultivated, iris, forget-me-nots and
many more are rapidly developing
into sweetness and beauty. The
trees set along State Str-jet by the
Skagway Improvement Scclety are
in fine shape, but need a little of
the attention promised by the city
council. A little bracing hero and
there would work woudei-s in mak
ing these young trees grow straight
and graceful. The song of the
robin. swee:e.-t of melodit» is heard
late in the evening and first in
ihe morning. The little owl that
said "Who, who, who" to his neigh
bor on the opposite mountain side
;■ nd the neighbor thift answered
"Who, who. who" across the valley
have gone to house keeping and
will be heard no more until another
winter. There is scarcely a home
in Skagway but has its garden, a
little truck patch, in which is grown
nearly all the vegetables consumed
by the family during the summer
and in many cases enough is grown
tor the y>'ir. From the mountain
side and .alley are gathered rasp
berries, currants, black f.nd red,
i ranberries, goose berries ■ nd buck
le berries. And yet many people
think we are living in a land of
>erpetual snow and ice. Let us
hope thai the anticipated tourist
•
.route of our eastern brc'hren may
see our beloved Alaska, especially
[Skagway, as it really is.

ECCENTRIC fiE QUINCEY.
He Often Greeted Visitor# While Hal#
Dressed and Bare Footed.
De Qtiincey's luibits were so simple
as to be utmost usedie, anil be subsist
ed upon the light-st possible diet. Ills
digestive trouble and neuralgic suffer
ing, which first led to bis taking opium,
cuused him early to lose bis teeth,
and from the extreme delicacy of bis
system he could eat nothing less capa
ble of mastication than bread, so that
article with « little soup or coffee was
apt to comprise bis whole dinner.
In reference to ids manner of dress
his daughter lias said:
"His dress, unfortunately, he neither
cured for himself, nor would he let
others care for it. I say uufortunately,
because Ills carelessness gave rise
among punctilious people, unaccustom
ed to eccentric habits, to an linpres
i slon of poverty for which there was no
foundation It might be that a thought
| occurred to him in the midst of some
nf bis Irregular processes of dressing
or undressing il should say some
thought did generally strike him at
tbat timet, and lie tvonld stop with Ills
coat Just taken oft. or not put on. with
out stockings at all, or with oue off nnd
one on. and becoming lost in what
grew out of this thought, he would
worlc for hours, b; idly even noticing
the coffee whi' h wtis his chief sup|>ort
it such times.
"In the midst of this absorbing work
would arrive visitors, of whom there
were many, probably from such a dis
tance that they could not be turned
back without sight of the object of
their long pilgrimage, upon which my
father, with the unaffected courtesy
which was one of the great charms of
his character, would appear at once
rather tli.in lovp tliem waltiug while
he put uu his sto. king, or whatever
tuay be wanting or which was jnst
likely in the wrung place, giving rise
to awed linpiv-'sh ns nf poverty with
some, wli; e ili who could withdraw
their un:i<*( ti-tniucd eyes from the na
kedness ot the land, as expounded by
his fret, might liave seen In his stir
rotitilings -.igns of scrupulous neat
ness. suilicient comfort ami refinement
enough 10 reassure them on this point.
"His presence at home was the slg
nal for a'- crowd of beggars, among
whom, borrowed babies and drunken
old women were sure of the largest
share of tin- s.vtnpat'iy lie refused to
none." — Trom Caroline Ticknor's
"Hawthorne and His Publisher."
PRONOUNCING ENGLISH.
Going Astray or. t!'0 Correct Uss of
"u" and "ew" Sounds.
A curious feature of tb«» English lan
guage as it spoken in this part of
the I'nited Stales l< tat* prevalence of
a dual system ut pronunciation. The
dictionaries tell us unequivocally that
we should prououuce "dew," "knew"
aud "stew" as we do "few." and that
"student," "stupid" aud similar words
should l>e enunciated .is If they were
spelled ''stleudent" aud "stlupld."
Nobody. apparently, disputes the cor
rectness of tlii-- manner of pronounc
ing "u" mid "ew"—yet here Is a rule
very much m«»re houored in the breach
than In the observance. Except for
stage folks, the faculties and some of
the students of schools and colleges
and a few persons who make a poiutof
precise speak in.?, the academic sound
of "u" Is disregarded almost .univer
sally.
It Is by no mi'ttns through Ignorance
that people say "stoo" and "stoopid."
There are worthy persons who seem
to feel that a good American really
ought to say "sloo" nud "stoopid."
They think, apparently, that the ortho
dox "u" and "ew ' are Anglicisms aud
are used iu this country only by per
sons pedantic or "uffee'ed."
Of course, for all practical purposes
one way of prououncitig Is as good as
another and usage has made both
forms correct. Nevertheless, the right
use of "n" and "ew" acids music and
variety to the English language, and
the younger generation might do well
to pronounce according to the diction
ary and gradually overcome an "Amer
icanism" that has no real good excuse
for being.—Rochester Democrat and
Chronicle.
Spoiled Musicians.
Rubinstein disapproved of marriage
for musicians. Just before ills death
he spoke sadly of his Russian lady
pupils. "What tinve 1 wasted all my
time on them for?" he asked irritably. ]
"Every one married! It's too provok- I
ing! Here they are. spoiled forever for |
art life. What did they study for?"
The London .Musical World remarks ■
that "those who ask why we have no I
great lady composers may be left to j
think of these things."
A Narrow Range of Choice.
Sylvia, supple and slender, and Aunt
Belle, bulky and benign, had returned
Coin a shopping tour. Each had been

When they returned home Sylvia
was asked what success each had in
her efforts to be fitted. "Well," said
Sylvia, "I got along pretty well, bnt
Aunt Belle Is getting so fal that about
