WHERE ICEBERGS GROW. All of Them Stay There, and Never ; One Get* Into the Sea. There is a part of Alaska in the far northwest, extending from Point Hope to Point Barrow and inland as far as the Noatak river on the south and the Black Hock river 011 the north, where until" recently tlie foot of white man had never trod. Until last summer this immense region was given up entirely to roving bands of Indians, depend ing upon fishing and hunting ami the wild fur bearing animals of the arctic zone, while the cold of the long winter kept the temperature at from (JO to 7u degrees below zero. A year ago, when the United States revenue cutters were in the north look ing after impoverished whalers, soias of the fleet were at Point Barrow. This one place has been a harbor for vessels of trade for years, but 110 ex ploring party from any of these ves sels has ever ventured into the in terior. Where curiosity and the love of adventure failed the greed for gold proved a sufficient spur to tempt Wal lace Taylor, a Montana mining man, formerly of White Sulphur Springs, to hazard his life while endeavoring to find fabulous gold mines reported to be in the desolate region. Mr. Taylor spent the whole of last summer in the Noatak country, as it is called. He is now here and will return to the north In a few weeks. "A year ago," said he in telling of his experiences in the Noatak country, "I left Dawson in company with a man named Jordan. We traveled down the Y'ukon to Nulato and then struck across the country to Kotzebue. While at that place we were told some miners had struck it r-ich on the Noatak, and we set out for that place. We may not have struck the right trail, but in any event we saw the last white man at Kotzebue until we came out in the fall. We met some natives at Koska who told us where we could find gold in the mountains just south of Ice cape. With our dog team we made an attempt, but were never able to reach the moun tains, and it is my opinion that no man ever will. The trip over the southwest ern Alaska passes in the early days was nothing to what we encountered. Tlie entire country south of Harrow is one great field of ice. Probably mountains of ice would be better, for there was nothing but bergs towering hundreds of feet in the air, givii g the landscape a most weird appearance. "The natives were hospitable, and game was abundant. We were told that two white men many years ago had penetrated to a point 200 miles south of where we were. In August we turned back and started for the Koyukuk. which we struck northwest of Fort Yukon, and there found a min ing camp, with two miners Cali fornia."—Chicago Record. Pletnrenquc Dress. It seems that woman's dress is to bp picturesque once more instead of mere ly fashionable. With the Gainsbor ough hat coining iu again—and its pop ularity received a great boom by the timely recovery of the famous painting —at least one feature of picturesque ness Is assured. Then the princess gown is another indication of the trend matters sartorial are taking. Truly, though, there are many periods repre sented in fashions of today. We have Louis XV coats, empire gowns and Eugenie skirt in addition to the Gainsborough hat and old time princess dress. Then we have the essentially modern Eton, bolero and shirt waist, with hats like unto pancakes.

Hair 011 tbe Face Man Once a UnU#« of the Mlaaimtippl Card Shurp. "Back in 1850," remarked a New Or leans professional man, chatting about old times, "a mustache was regarded with great suspicion all through the Mis sissippi valley. It was supposed to bo the mark of either a military swash buckler or a gambler, and a gentleman, particularly if he wanted togo into so ciety, shaved smooth. Beards were look ed upon as an unclean foreign affecta tion, and I recall a curious incident bas ed on that prejudice. "A charming young English gentle man who wa*s a near relative of a dis tinguished man of seieuce was visiting at a river town noted for its aristocratic and punctilious society. lie was a fine speci men of physical manhood, and, following a fashion which had just obtained a foothold in London, he wore a heavy blond mustache aud a set of luxuriant, curly whiskers, much after the style of our old friend Taffy in 'Trilby.' Now adays he would be envied the possession of such a superb ornament, but the good ladies of the town were greatly perplex ed, and after much consultation they finally decided that they could not coun tenance such a barbarous custom and would have to decline to receive him un less he shaved. The young Englishman realized that he had to choose between whiskers and ostrncism, and, being a plucky chap, he packed his trunk and went back to London on the next boat. "To revert to the mysterious connection between gamblers and mustaches, a thatched upper lip eventually became such a well recognized badge of the trade that card sharps who wanted to avoid suspicion were forced to shave clean. One noted professional who worked the big river boats looked a great deal like a sanctimonious deacon when his mus tache was removed, and he used to make a point of dressing iu a long tailed, rusty black coat, with a white cravat. Going up to Vicksburg one night, I was sitting in earshot when he attracted the atten tion of a group of gay young gentlemen playing poker in the main saloon. He was seated by himself reading a book and was evidently unknown to the party. 'l'll bet that old rascal plays poker on the sly,' said one of the crowd. 'Ask him to ( join us,' said another as a joke, and the first speaker acted on the suggestion. The stranger was very reluctant at first, but finally said he 'calculated he wasn't too old to learn' and took a hand. A couple of hours later he got off at a landing with every dollar in the crowd, remarking cas ually that ho would now give his mus tache a chance. "On another occasion I was going up to Louisville on some important business and had been warned especially to look out for gamblers. We had the usual crowd of sharpers on board, but they were all shaved clean, and it chanced that among our passengers were a lot of army men fresh from the we3t, where mustaches were countenanced. Conse quently, when we reached old Gait House at Louisville and I made some inquiries of friends, I was chagrined to find that the people I had been fraternizing with were gamblers and all those I had been snubbing and avoiding were gentlemen." —New Orleans Times-Democrat. Fished For Its t>lnae>. J ' —piv "Looking over my neighlior's feßfrjaj one day,"says a lover of animals, was surprised to see on his doorstep these queer companions: A beautiful white sea gull and my neighbor's pet cat sitting quietly together. "Becoming Interested, I Jumped the fence aud asked Jones about his feath ered pet. He told me that some boys had shot" the gull a few days before and broken Its wing, and as they were passing his house he noticed the poor, suffering thing and bought It. He ban daged the broken wing, and the gull, seeming to understand his kind Inten tions, became quite tame and nestled Its pretty head agaiust his hand. "Jones entertained me by showing bow the gull usually took his meals. Bringing a plate of oysters and a fork, be called 'Goosey, goosey, goosey!'and the bird came running to him. Then he held out uu oyster 011 the fork and the gull seized It quickly with its yel low bill and ate It as demurely as if oysters had been served to it in this way all of its days. "The oddest thing occurred one day when my neighbor gave the gull some small pieces of meat for dinner. He placed the meat on the ground near the gull, but the gull, espying a pan of water near by, took the meat piece by piece and, walking over, dropped it into the water. Then, true to its na ture, It began tishiiig for Its dinner."— Christian Advocate. Some Xlee Hoyal Jobs.

THE BUSY MOTH. flow to Prevent lta Depredations In Clothing ami Carpets. The flitting to aud fro of the active little mot j at this season Is a warning to the house mistress of what will hap pen unless vigorous measures be adopt ed to protect woolens and furs. When there are many clothes to be looked after. It is well to take a special day for the purpose of airing and cleaning them. If possible, choose a clear, sun shiny day; if there are breezes stirring, all the better. Take the woolen gar ments and attach them to the <•' . Vs -11 ne by pins, shaking and b0a.....; . dust from each piece with a willow car pet beater. If there are grease spots, remove them by sponging with ammo nia and soft water. When the clothes have had live or six hours of sunshine, they may be brought in and packed away in mothproof chests. There are housekeepers who place great confidence In a newspaper wrap ping as a protection from moths, but if one lives in a particularly "mothy" place the newspaper Is not to be de pended upon. If mothproof boxes are not to be had, put the winter clothes In tnr paper bags that seal,or, failing that, make a large bag out of muslin or cali co free from holes. Line a large trunk or dry goods box with the empty bag, pack in the garments, having made sure that there are no moth eggs In them. Tie the opening of the bag with twine, leaving considerable space for "neck." Pack a handful or two of camphor balls against the Inside of the tied place and tie again, tying the balls In. In large cities moths are more numer ous and much more voracious than iu most small towns or the open country. For city people It is more prudent to send costly fur garments and tine rugs to a reliable storage house that insures their safety from moths during sum mer. . Moths delight in dark corners, and they love to deposit their eggs in soft moquette and axminster carpets and the fluffy tine woolly parts of the fringe of upholstered parlor furniture. After being thoroughly beaten carpets and rugs that are to be kept at home for the summer would be the better for being sponged off with turpentine be fore being rolled or folded, says The Household. \Vhl(eua«hed. An amusing joke way once played on a post commandant in Cuba who, like all other post commandants, was not popu lar. He hail two fads. He believed in whitewash and plenty of it, asserting it to be the most effective preventive of tropical diseases ever discovered, and he was equally attached to a pet flamingo who resented being kept in captivity and showed his resentment by nipping at ev ery soldier who passed his way. On the part of the soldier there was nothing to do but swear under his breath and wait for revenge. On a certain Monday morning an order was issued from headquarters that all articles pertaining to camp which were not sheltered from the weather should l>e whitewashed. The post coinuiundant's wrath can be imagined when he next gazed on his pet flamingo, who had sud denly become as white as the driven snow.

It may not be generally known that it is considered a serious offense for a German soldier, no matter what may be his rank, to appear in public except In uniform, even though he be on fur lough. The army regulations strictly enjoin that he must always wear his uniform. A certain Lieutenant Schmidt, who was engaged in some lively adventure or other, dressed up as a civilian and was having altogether an enjoyable time until, on turning a corner, he un expectedly met his colonel. The lieutenant did not, however, lose hie presence of mind. He pretended that he had never seen his colonel be fore and in a changed voice asked: "Can you tell me, sir, where Lieuten ant Schmidt lives? I urn his brother from the country and am paying him a little visit, but I happen Just now to have lost my way." The colonel quietly gave the desired Information, and Lieutenant <Schmldt, congratulating himself on his lucky es caiHf, hurried home and put on his uni form with all possible speed. He thought, of course, that he had taken in his superior officer, but such an idea wus rudely dispelled when on the next day he met his colonel, and the latter said: "Lieutenant Schmidt, If your brother from the country pays you another vis- It I'll have him placed In close confine ment for 30 days."

Yet there are plants which will do this when the broom t»r the duster beginn to innkc dust lly. This singular plant Is the "coughing beau," known to the botanist as the Eutada tussiens. It Is a native of warm and moist tropical countries and cannot and will not stand dust. When dust settles upon the breathing pores In the leaves of this plant and chokes them, a gas accumulates Inside the leaves, and when It gains sufficient etreugth forcibly "blows off," clearing the pores of dust and making a sound exactly like coughing. At the same time the leaves tremble and the plant actually "gets rod in the face," through the sinking of the greeu chlorophyll grains and the appearance of red par ticles on the leaves. This plant Is sometimes used as a house plant, and sweeping the room sets it coughing, to the intense astonishment of persons not familiar with its peculiarities. Gencroaa Great Britain.

Two crops that have lately assumed prominence in this country are Canada field peas and rape. In a recent Michi gan test the Improved Prussian Blue and the Black Marrowfat varieties of peas were used. The Improved Prus sian Blue variety was sown on May 17 and harvested on Sept. 5. The vines Were thou 10 feet long, and the yield was 42 bushels per acre. The Black Marrowfat was sown on May 17 and harvested Sept. 5. The vinos were then 10 feet long, and the yield was 34 bushels per acre. Wet weather caused botli varieties to blos som until harvest time. Both are rec ommended as very strong growers, and IMPROVED PRUSSIAN BLUE FIELD PEAS, both were entirely free from insects. The fact that the Black Marrowfat was sown on much lower ground may account for the difference in yield. As the question of cheap pork pro duction assumes greater proportions, forage peculiarly suited for pigs must certainly come to the front. It is well known that the pig thrives on grass or green feed alone, but the Importance and necessity of feeding him on such are very often overlooked. The condi tions governing feeding operations, however, enter into this matter, and fre quently such crops as con be most con veniently produced or utilized must take precedence over others better adapted to the end in view. Of the various crops more or loss ex tensively cultivated for pig feed during the past few years one which has given i extremely satisfactory results is rape. The variety best suited for forage is Dwarf Essex. As an element in the production of their famous bacon Canadians are giv ing it considerable attention. In cer tain districts it is now largely used as ; a forage crop for sheep, swine and I steers, and undoubtedly still larger areas In the future will be sown for this purpose. One of these farmers says: "From a study of the habits of the pigs pasturing on rape I should say that the best results would be secured by sowing the rape In rows 21 to 30 inches apart at the rate of about three pounds of seed (Dwarf Essex) to the acre. When thus sown, this can be cultivated by horsepower when young and has a tendency to branch out and develop a large leaf crop. "It Is most interesting to watch the nlceness of discrimination exercised by your practiced rape eating pig as he strolls leisurely down the row and se lects the Juicy leaves that best please his fancy. 1 have observed, too, that your trained pig is equal to the best of chemists in picking out those parts of the plant most valuable for food. He soon learns to shun the large or old leaves and feasts upon the young, the tender, the Juicy." The cost of growing an acre of rape, including rent of land, has been esti mated at $14.17. The cut shows a plot of Dwarf Essex rape at the upper Michigan station sown on June 1G last year. Aside from slight damage to leaves by cab bage worms, the plants grew to per fection, reaching a height of 30 inches at the close of the season.

Bands of ribbon half an inch wide and three inches long, each end finished with a little loop, are fastened upon the stockings in such a way tlint they form a gradually widening figure. At the , ankle the ribbon bands are side by side and almost touch, but at the calf, where they terminate with a small buckle, j they are two or three inches apart. This gives a pretty shape to the ankle and makes a fiat leg appear round. T! uiost refined of these ribbon trimmed stockings are of fine black lisle trim med with black satin ribbon. The bands are fastened to the stockings with very small safety pins or with tiny Jeweled pins. Trul) Pri«t*ti<*nl.

RIVERBIDE, NORT'D COUNTY. THE SCHOOLHOUSE. The world depends on its school chil dren. The teachers are the guardians of a state. A town which has no school should be j abolished. The world is only saved by the breath ; of the school children. Even for the rebuilding of the temple the instruction of the children must not i be interrupted. If you interrupt your studies for one J day, it will take you two to muke up what you have lost.—Wit and Wisdom of ' the Talmud. How Horn* * "Have you ever noticed," asked a Geriuautown veterinarian the other (lay, "that every horse left standing by a curbstone for any length of time in variably turns around so as to place 1 his fore feet or the sidewalk? He al ways does it if the road on which he is standing slopes the least bit in either direction. This shows that the horse lias a great deal of plain, common sense. II« will not allow himself to be worn out where it is not necessary. If people only had his wisdom, there would be a great deal less sickness in the world than there Is at present. When a thoughtless driver leaves his horse standing on a slope or at an angle of the street, all the animal's weight is thrown upon one side, causing strain, nnd if left long enough painful ex haustion. Twenty minutes of such an i ordeal will fatigue a horse more than a whole day's travel. But when he is able to plant his fore feet on the curb- Stone It gives him a better plant and adjusts his weight more equably. Many of the muscular ailments from which horses suffer are brought upon them by j being continually obliged to stand by the gutter side on streets which slope decidedly. A good driver will always I seek to rest liis horse on a level when * possible."—Philadelphia Kecord. Arizona Foro»ti». Arizona is supposed to l>o almost nn ! unbroken desert, but in reality it has the largest unbroken pine forest in the | United States, covering an area of over i 8,000 square miles. This timber is j usually found at an altitude of be- I tween 5,51 Mi and 7,500 feet. The total quantity of pine timber fit for sawing 1 purposes within the boundaries of the territory amounts to 10,000,000,000 feet, which can supply the needs of a popu lous state for more than a century. HißheNt Cro*» In the World. The highest cross in the world is said to be that which caps the loftiest peak iof the Harz mountains. The cross is I in reality a tower, and it commands a ! magnificent view of the country around. The height of the tower is 120 feet, and it stands on a mountain 1,731 feet above the sea level. A stair of 200 steps leads to the top of the cross, but there Is an elevator of which people may avail themselves who for any reason l wish to avoid the long climb. Dreams Reulited.
