ALASKA SALMON.
Procession of tha Four Varieties of
. This 8uparb Fith.
"There Is nothing more curious con
nected with the finny trllie tlmn to
watch the (lolncs of the salmon family
In Alaska, " gald nn Alaskan deuler.
"The most singular tiling of nil Is
that utter the females deposit their
spawn their earthly career terminates,
aud I have seen the bottoms of creeks
covered with their dead bodies. They
give birth to thousands of their kind
and Immediately die. The young oiui
aro then taken earn of by the male
salmon, and It Is a well known fact
that In three years from their birth the
offspring reappear on the very ground
of their origin. There are four varie
ties of this superb fish which make
their appearance In regular order of
succession.
"lu the spring tho first to arrive Is
the magulllceut kiug salmon, which
weighs all the way from fifteen to
ninety pounds. About June 1 comes
the sookey or red salmon, which visits
our shores In enormous numbers and
which Is tha common cunning variety.
A little later appears the log sulmou.
which only the Indians will eat, anil
finally, in August and September, the
beautiful silver salmon arrives, the
prettiest fish In all the world and one
of the most palatable.
"When the salmon enter the fresh
water by a curious trick of nature
their skin becomes red, but this pink
hue does not affect the whiteness of
their tlesh. It Is seldom that salmon
will Journey up a glacier stream, but
the streams that have lakes at their
heads literally swarm with them."

ATTACKING A SYSTEM.
It Involve! Attacking the Men That
Uphold the System.
On every side I bear strange Insist
ence upon the fact that it Is only the
system that Is wrong. I bear people
utter the following extraordinary
words: "We do not attack Individuals."
What, in the uume of the seven pl.iii
ets, can you attack except Individuals?
How can one fight a system? If a sys
tem came Into this room, what would
you do to It? Would you take a gnu or
a fencing foil or a butterfly net or a
horsewhip or a disinfectant?
A system only exists in the minds of
men, and If there Is a very vile system
In the minds of men there must lie
something very vile about tlieir minds.
I do not say that they may not have
other virtues along with the qualities
that make the bad system. I do not
say that the upholders of any bad sys
tem are without any moral merits. I
do not say that' Italian brigands are
without any moral merits. Hut, how
ever good or evil may be mingled lu
the character of an Italian brigand,
nobody ever said that In dealing with
' persons of that profession you were
not to attack individuals.
You do not, In dealing with brigands,
say that you merely attack the system.
You attack the brigands that Is, sup
posing that you are In possession of
the adequate bodily courage. C. K.

Cooper Preparations Leading
Young Man s Headquarters Interviewed.
Cincinnati, O., April 0. The most
interesting feature of the enormous sale
of the Cooper preparations, now going
on in this city, is what the medicines
are actually a-cumplisbing among
the people ol Cincinnati.
At the commencement of bis visit
hijre Mr. Cooper prophesied that dur
ing the later part of bis stay he w,;uld
receive hundreds of callers daily who
came simply to thank him for what
the preparations hud done. Ee also
stated that stomach trcuble Is the
foundation lor a great many diseases
and that his New Discovery, as it is
called, ' would prove VHry effective In
cases of rbeumutism simply by getting
the stomach in working order.
That this prophecy bus been fulfilled
CHiinot be doubted after a half hour
spent at the young man's headquurters
listening to what the callers have to
say.
A reporter, who watched to ascer
tain, if poHslble, some light on the
reasons for the immensity of Coop
er's success interviewed about twenty
of his callers yesterday afternoon. The
statements made by thiwe seen indi
cate tbat physicians who qlalm that
Cooper is merely a passing fad, have
not looked Into the facts.
Sumo of these statements were as
follows: Mies Sallle Middleton liv
ing at 1957 Central Av. upon being
questioned, said:
"I have been troubled with general
weakness, dizziness, headache, sleep
lessness and stomach aisorders for a
number of years, suffering all tbe time
with my kidneys and back. I bad tried
a number of medicines aud visited sev
eral doctors but none helped me. I
heard on all sides of these Cooper
remedies and decided to try them.
Any one who says tbat they are not
wonderful medicines does not know
what" they are . talking about. After
I used the first bottle I noticed u de
cided improvement. I have taken
three bottles of the New Discdvery
and I now feel as well as I ever h.aje In
my life. I sleep and eat as I havef not
gray broadcloth. The skirt fits 9iiugly
about the hips and flares out at the
bottom, where It Is trimmed with silk
braid put on in Greek key pattern. On
tbe smart little cape this trimming ap
pears Inlshed with buttons and silk
tassels.
ROUGH AND READY HAT.
Instead of the all white frock many
of the lace and chiffon dresses are
made-with little boleros of bright col
ored silk or satin, from which long vest
ends hang to tbe knee of the skirt
A KNOCKABOUT HAT.
When desired the gown may ite finish
ed complete without this Utile bolero.
Black evening gowns will be Invari
ably trimmed with jet aud sequins, the
somber effect being relieved by a nar
row lace or tulle tucker around the
decollete, while tbe sash Is carried out
In bluck panne with heavy Jet tassels.
Braiding Is to take the place of em
broideries on street costumes. On
many of the handsome silk and cloth
jackets there Is a combination of braid
work and embroidery tbat Is most at
tractive. For wear with tailor made clothes
the plaid silk skirt Is very popular fin
ished with self trimmings. For elabo
rate street gowns tbe plaid silk skirts
are trimmed with plain silk, lace braid
work and embroidery.
All dark waists should have a touch
of white at the collar and cuffs. Short
sleeves render the white cuff unneces
sary, but white at the throat is ob
ligatory. Very smart Is the hat pictured. It
suggests Scotland both in the plaited
fans that decorate the upturned brim
and the scarf of plaid silk encircling
the crown. Quills anu choux of velvet
build up the back.
STOCKS FOR DAINTY NECKS.
The ideal furs for schoolgirls are
ermine, beaver, black or gray astra
khan, squirrel and otter. Long haired
furs are never suitable and also have
an untidy appearance when the hair Is
worn hanging down the back. Tbe fur
should be Introduced In the form of
trimming on a coat rather than as a

doue for years, and I tun happier tbau
I have been In a U'ng time. I have
oome here to tlank Mr. Cooper for
what he bas done for me."'
The statement ol Mrs. M. E Emer
son living at 03ff W. Court St., was as
follows:
"I hav.i Mjffored wlih stomach trou
ble and constipation for a year or so.
When I Hte I would have bloated fpells,
sour stinach, fermenta Ion bad tasUi
la my mouth. In the morning I was
as tlreil as when I went to bed. I had
a dull pain In the lower part ot my
back. I have taken almost one bottle
of the New Discovery and I am wonder
fully Improved that I Iiiivm come down
here to thank Mr. Cooper in person
and obtain more of the medicine."
Another statement was made by Mr.
E. Luken living at 1000 Gest St., who
said: "I have been a sufferer with
rheumatism for several years. I could
not walk or stand on my feet when Mr.
Cooper came to Cincinnati. Nothing
helped me in any way and t despaired
of finding relief. I was in a general
rundown condition, also, and bad some
stomach trouole. Hearing of his
wonderful work my father con.su 1 ti d
him regarding my case and purchased
a bottle of his New Discovery. After
I had finished that one bottle I was
able to walk down town and see him
myself."
"I have continued to take this won
derful medicine nd T am without a
sign of rheumatism. My general
health Is also greatly Improved and I
have not felt so well for years. I would
not have believed that there was a
medicine on earth that would do what
this has done for me I am so much
happier that I mn very grateful to tbe
man that bas made it possible for me
to regain my health. He' has the
most wonderful medicine that I know
anything about."
Other statements, taken from those
who had previously used the medi
cines seem to , prove that Cooper's
success throughout the ci uutry is gen

There Is an enormous range of tones
from which to select, grading from pale

Most of tbe expensive hats depend
almost solely upon their attractive
vhape and handsome material for their
rblc effect.
White ' net waists with cluny lace
yokes, collars and cuffs are mighty
useful and serviceable affairs to own.
A wnist of this kind may be worn sep
arately or will do duty for a bretelle
frock of the "Jumper" variety.
One of the prettiest little pattern
frocks shown to dressmakers lately bas
a little fichu with shoulder bretelles
attached, which is made to cross over
and fasten under a buckle at the back,
with ends sticking down below the
waist line. This Is made with two
straight pieces, which are laid In plaits
surplice fashion, the bretelles being cut
all lu one piece and a narrower exten
sion being put on the surplice ends In
front, so they girdle the waist like a
belt Buckles may be added to cover
theso points and to match the buckle
In the back.
Very French are the model stocks
sent over from Paris. In 'the shops
these neck pieces are very expensive,
as the work Is all done by band, but
to the woman handy with her needle
they are easily made. The illustration
will aid In their manufacture.

A Government to Klok About
"Wo kick about our own govern

doubtless pretty bad, but what would
we think If It took the taxpayers' mon
ey to 'pay every year a pension of $50,
000 to the Goulds, nnother of $75,000 to
the Astors and another still of $25,000
to the Vanderbllts? Tbat is what goes
on In England. The English doctor,
the English druggist, the English car
penter, all sorts of hardworking Eng
lishmen, are taxed $200 or $300 a year,
and the money goes to pay the huge
pension of some ducal loafer who H
already too rich. Charles II., for In
stance, grnuted an eternal pension of
$95,01)0 a year to the Imke of Itlch

As a matter of fact the custom (like so
many customs not forgetting the foun
tain pen) came from Egypt, which
adopted It because the annual Inunda
tion of the Nile takes place when the
sun Is In the constellation Leo the
lion. The allusion Is too obvious to
need pointing out. The oldest fixed
date (4241 B. C.) can be trnced to
Egypt, where the calendar wns Intro
duced In the middle of the forty-third
century. And the history of modern
shipbuilding began In Egypt, where it
can be traced to about 8000 B. C. The
most recent discoveries give to thp
land of Egypt a clean run of about
11,000 years without any admixture of
foreign races. "Egypt, land of hidden

From India conies a story of the dis
comfiture of a very distinguished sol
dier. It hnppened at a big dinner,
where he had taken In a pretty Amer
ican globe trotter, who asked him to
pass a dish of almonds Bud rnlsins.
"With pleasure," replied the gallant
son Of Mars, "but do you know that
what you have asked for is called hi
the vernacular klssmiss and that the
penalty of a kiss' attaches to the re
quest?" .
"Is that so?" answered the woman
calmly. "I must consult my husband."
and she called across the table to him
and told him of the request.
"Quite so," he replied, "according to
the custom of the country It Is a Just
debt and must be paid, but is the gen
eral aware of the arrangement made
when we married that I must settle
all my wife's liabilities?"

Some curious letters are quoted by
Mr. Perclval Blckerstaffe the pedigree

runs:
"I am a plumber and gaunter out of

my art Is the bind of noble burth.
I claim the family title and tenements
which I will not be denyed the same."
A city clerk wrote:
"I have long suspected that I am of
high birth. People tell me that I have
manners above my stntlon of life. My
photograph herewith shows that I have
an aristocratic cast of face and will
perhaps be a clew to my ancestry. I
do not ask for fortune, but I aspire to

Beans, to Separate Bones.
Anatomists, when they wish to sep
arate the bones of a Kkull, sometimes
resort to a very peculiar procedure.
They fill the skull with small beans
and place it In a vessel of water. The
beans swell and rend the skull apart
at tbe sutures. The well known Ger

the force' which tbe beans are- capable
of exerting under these conditions and
found that It Indicated five atmos
