The American Monthly Review lias on estimate of the extent of the exodus to the Klondike the present season, und calculates that 300,000 people will In vade the Alaskan gold fields iu 1808. ll then adds an estimate ns to (he ex penses and profits of the great rush after the yellow metal. That each man should spend on the average SOOO docs not seem to be an overcalcnlatlon, but it reaches the grand total of $00,000,000 Of this sum It Is estimated that the ruil ways will receive $5,000,000, the traders and hotel keepers, where oulfits arc procured, $30,000,000, the ship com panics for transportation $10,000,000 and for the transportation of freight over the passes in Alaska $15,000,000. These figures are declared to be low and for necessaries only, so that they might be increased by 25 or 30 per cent, so as to be made to all the money that will be paid out in the at tempt of gold seekers to reach the mines. On the other hand, there have been a good many estimates made us to the amount of gold that it Is expected the Alaskan fields will yield this year, and they range ull the way from $20,- 000,000 to $50,000,000. The smaller uinount is regarded by those qualified to judge as being as much to small as the larger is considered to be too great. Probably $30,000,000 would be u liberal estimate. No ouc has placed theoutput at anywhere near the amount that will be expended by the gold hunters In reaching the mines. It is not nt nil probable that any such exhibits will deter anyone with the gold fever from trying bis fortune, for it is always "the other man" that will not "strike it rich." Still, the chances are that not one in fifty will ever come back with n competency that he lias dug from tin frozen soil of the inhospitable Klondike country, while the hardships of the journey and of the life there will shat ter the constitution of many u man who will return an invalid for life, if he returns alive. A class in economics in n western university has just been struggling with the problem: llow would you spend $10,000? There are 25 men and 31 women in the class, and they named 34 different objects of expenditure. Education was declared to be the first purpose of the mnjorlfy. Ilea! estate was the most favored investment. Twelve students wanted to travel, seven proposed to spend some money for books, the same number made an ap propriation for "pleasure," and four were willing to devote a share to "char ity." So far ns it went, it was an in structive exhibition, and the only thing needed to complete the revelation of their characters and training is that the same students should answer the correlative question; How would you prefer to earn $10,000? A new departure in festive gatherings has just been inaugurated by the baeli elor girls of Dayton, Fla. The girls gave a "dove dance," in which they proved that the presence of men Is by no means indispensable in tripping the light fantastic, us not n inun was there Half the young women wore the se verest of tailor-made black gowns, with low-cut waistcoats, revealing a dazzling expanse of white linen. The other half wore the usual feminine extravagances. There were 20 dances on the pro gramme. The musicians were women, and refreshments were served by neat waitresses. The entire affair was a brilliant success from start to finish. Frogs and mice are developing nn un pardonable desire to steal dowu peo ple's throats lately. Rev. ,T. 11. Kellcy. pastor of a Baptist church In Pasa dena, Cab, fell asleep after reading, and, forgetting to close his mouth, was nearly choked by a mouse which strolled in. Luckily lie had a bicycle, as well as presence of mind, so that when lie rode to the nearest doctor's lie was pronounced out of danger nnd a little luter the visitor was dislodged.

Circumstances singularly pathetic surround the loss which befell the crew of the Peaked Hill station, near Prov- Incetown, Cape Cod. Keeper Atkins of this station was one of the true and trusted veterans of the service. But one stormy day In winter, after twelve hours' exposure on the beach, exhaust ed by futile efforts to launch the surf boat, he and his crew had the mortifi cation of seeing the rescue they had attempted made by a crew of volunteers. It mattered not that these had made no previous ex ertions, that they had come fresh and unwearied upon the scene; Keeper Atkins and his crew had to take from the community what, in the staid, old-fashioned speech of the Capo, is known as the "goading slur." The keeper made no attempt to answer his critics; but gradually, as that season and the following summer wore away, a settled look of determination became stamped on his face, and his bearing took on a dignity almost tragic. When, at the opening of the next season, his j wife, as he left his home for the sta tion, begged him not to expose him ' self to needless danger, he replied.: "Before this season is over I will have wiped out the goading slur.'" Reaching the station, he called his crew about him, and informed them that, no matter at what peril, a rescue would be attempted at every wreck within the limits of the station. That winter a storm of almost un precedented fury burst over the coast, and a vessel was swept upon the Peak ed Hill bars. A surf-boat, launched by seemingly superhuman power, put out from shore. But neither despera tion, nor even madness, could keep a boat afloat in such a sea; and when, one after another, those who had braved it were cust upon the beach, three were dead. One of these was Keeper Atkins. He had wiped out the "goading slur." Of such stuff are the heroes of the life-saving service.—Gustave Kobbe in the Century. A Problem In IMutoLoveinaklng. Paul Mllliken, who is quite an expert in the language of deaf mutes, says that one morning last week he was coming down on the Avondale car, , when he became interested In a discus sion between two mutes. "Say, I want your advice," said one of them, using his hands as vocal or gans. "I shall be happy to oblige you," , said the other. "Are you up on the tricks of wo men?" inquired the first one. The second man modestly admitted that he knew something of the gentler sex, although he disclaimed being an oracle. "Well," resumed the one who wanted advice, "you know, I am in love with Mabel. That pretty little blonde, you know. At last I made up my mind to propose to her. Last night I made the attempt." "And she turned you down?" eagerly inquired his friend, his hands trem bling so with excitement that he stut tered badly. "That is what I am coming to," said the first. "I don't know whether she did or not. You see, I was somewhat embarrassed, and the words seemed to stick on my hands. And there she sat, as demure as a dove. Finally, my fingers clove together, and I could not say a word. Then Mabel got up and turned the gas down." "Well?" "Well, what Is bothering me is this. Did she do that to encourage me and relieve my embarrassment, or did she do it so we could not see to talk in the dark, and so stop my proposal?" No Interruption Permitted. The newly elected Justice of the Peace faced the happy pair. In all his legal experience he had never tackled so abstruse a problem. Nevertheless he determind to proceed with the cere mony to the best of his somewhat rat tled ability. He went on with the af fair by jerky and occasionally inaud ible degrees. Presently he looked vacuously around him and hoarsely inquired: "Does any man present know of any impediment to this union?" He saw that nobody understood him. He tried again. "Does any man know of any bar" | He was Interrupted by the bride groom. "Thar's a bar next door," said the happy man, "but, bet yer boots, squire, ' thar' won't be a drop o' lickerin' till you say hitched! And the ceremony proceeded. Cycling the .Jnwelnr'H Fncmy. A jeweler, bemoaning the impending ruin of his business, observes that nowadays young men pass bis windows without so much as a glance and go off to the bicycle stores to buy their sweethearts presents, and the worst of It is that the silly girls appreciate the stupid things far more than they do pretty valuables in the way of rings and watches. In fact, he states that he quite expects to hear before long that it is fashionable for young peoplo to give away bicycles Instead of rings when plighting their troth. Many State Homes. In addition to the national homes, there are now twenty-four State homes, to which the Government pays SIOO per annum for each inmate. It is thought that these twenty-four homes have a population of about 22,000 also, which makes 45,000 soldiers now being cared for by the Government. Few realize what a homo the nation pro vides for lior worthy soldiery. TROUBLE ALL THE WAY UP. Ilougltt a "Hobson's Choice" Downtown Landed lu n Hospital Uptown. The nurse adjusted the bandage on the patient's head in one of the wards of a big hospital uptown and then she said: "Now you may tell me how it hap pened, if you will promise to be very quiet." "Well, you know Monday was a warm day," he began, "so I went into , a store and told the man I wanted to buy a straw hat. He picked up one, ! put It on my head and he says, 'That's the hat you want," just that way. I said 1 would like to look at others. He said he had others, but Insisted on my taking the one ho had put on my head. I asked him If there wus any thing the matter with that hat and he said no, but it was the one he picked out for me as soon as he saw me come In. 'lt's Hobson's choice,' he said. I 'Whose?' I says. 'Hobson's' he says. I said I didn't know him. Then he said everybody was saying it. Said it was a fad, or something like that, and if I wanted to be 'strictly In It' I would take the hat and if anybody said any thing to me about it I should say It was Hobson's choice, and the drinks would be on the other fellow. So I paid him $1.50 and went away under the new hat. "When I was going up the steps at Park place station I met an acquaint ance who says, 'Where did you get it?' I wanted to he sure he meant the hat, and I says, 'Where did 1 get what?' 'The shed,' he says. That threw me off. I asked him what he meant, and he pointed to the headpiece and says, 'That. You look like a calf under a new shed,' he say 3. 'That's one of Hobson's,' I says. 'Which is?' ha says. 'The hat is,' I says. 'I didn't know Hobson was in the hat business,' he says. "Which one of them?' I says. Then ho laughed and poked me and says, 'Which one are you talking about?' 'Honest,' I says, 'it's Hob son's.' 'lf it's Hobson's,' he says, 'you'd better take it back to him and tell him to give you your old one.' 'You don't seem to know about it,' I says, and then I told him about how every body was talking about Hobson. He looked at me and says, 'You'd better take something for it.' "And then I says, 'All light, come on.' and we went into the first place and we stood there quite a while and when we went out I found it had cost me about a dollar, and he hudn't paid anything. "So I left him and came on uptown, thinking all the way up. Two men wero on the seat in front of me. I couldn't hear all they said, but ouc of them remarked as his statiui was call ed that he s'posed it wus Hobson's choice. "Then I looked at my tat to see if it was ul! rlgh% It seemed UB if it was too small, hut I put it back and went ou to Forty-second street, where I got off uud went into a lundh place, where I met another acquaintaoce. Pretty | 6oou lie says, 'That was a brave thing j for Hobson to do.' I said yes. 'You i heard about it?' ho says. 'Yes,' I says, 'and it has cost mo $2.50, and you will please sell your gold bricks to somebody else,' I says. 'Don't take me for a fool all the time,' I says 'You must be crazy," he says. 'I got i no gold brick,' he says. I'm talking > übout the brave man who sunk his ship in the harbor.' 'What's his ! name?' I says. 'Hobson,' he says ! Then I got up aud took ray hat from the peg and showed it to him and I says, 'Do you see the hut?' He said 'Yes.' 'Well,' I says, 'that's Hobson's.- j He looked at It uud says, 'Why don't ! you wear your own hat? Whut are you doing,' he says, 'wearing Hob son's hat? And then I hit him. And when I came to I was here." Drenmcd Wide Atvake.

Curloii* EndliiK to the Life of n Wo iiinn Wlio Lived .1 way From Men. "In my search for bits of life which are literatesque, lo use Bagehot's word," said Caster, gently rotating the cherry in his glrss, "I seized with avidity on one that came to me in a letter from a relative in a distant town. I may say by the way that I don't ap prove of letters from relatives —they have to be answered. ) "The town is the one I was born in; and, set in a waste of family affairs like an oasis, the letter told about the death of a woman whom I remember. I never made her acquaintance. No one ever made her acquaintance. She was a widow and lived with her spinster daughter, and I believe the first man to enter their house was the doctor who attended her in her last illness. They kept a big and savage dog for protection, and they rarely left the little yard which surrounded the house. Ail the work on the premises they did themselves, even to cutting the grass in summer.| 'They kept no servants, and yet they were not poor. The postman rarely called. It was isolation complete and apparently desired. "I was informed by the letter that the widow died last week, and it seems that she left instructions for a funeral. One of the local ministers was asked to read the burial service, and my cor respendent tells me that the daughter was the only other attendant, except the pallbearers. Had she relatives at all or friends anywhere? Ido not know. "The pallbearers were her trades men—the butcher, the baker, the grocer and the coal dealer who had supplied her wants. "Her tradesmen were the pallbear ers," repeated Gaster softly, und then asked curiously; "Would not Balzuc have handled that well?" Queer Jail fr College .Student**. At the ancient and famous Univer sity of Heidelberg a Jail is maintained specially for the benefit of students. For all minor crimes and misdemean ors they are tried and improslncd not by the civil authorities, but by tho university. The Heidelberg Career, or university prison, has been occupied by the most famous men of Germany. While there they always decorate the walls with their names and in other ways, so that their stay in jail may be perma nently remembered. , Every reader of Mark Twain will re call his entertaining description of the place, and how he contrived to visit it, even unwittingly enlisting as his guide a "Herr Professor." His pretext was to see a young friend who had con. veniently arranged the day to suit Mark—for the German student-convict goes to prison on the first suitable day after conviction and sentence. If Thursday Is not convenient he tells the officer sent to hale hlxu to jail that he will come on Friday or Saturday or Sunday, as the case may be. The of ficer never doubts his word, and It is never broken. ( The prison is up three flights of stulrs, and Is approached by a passage as richly decorated with the art work of convicts as the cell Itself. That apartment Is not roomy, but bigger than an ordinary prison cell. It lias ( an iron-grated window, a small stove, two wooden chairs, two old oak tables, and a narrow wooden bedstead. Tho ; furniture is profusely ornamented with carving, the work of languishing cap ' tlves, who have placed on record their names, armorial bearings, their crimes and the dates of their Imprisonment, i together with quaint warnings and de ; nunciations. Walls and ceilings are covered with portraits and legends exe cuted In colored chalk and in soot, the prison candle forming a handy pencil. I The prisoner must supply his own bedding and is subject to various charges. On entering he pays about 20 cents, and on leaving a similar sum. Every day in prison costs 12 cents; fire and light, 12 cents extra. The Jailer supplies coffee for a trifle. Meals may be ordered from outside. Every pris i oner leaves his carte de viste, which is j fixed, with a multitude of others, on I the door of the cell. I Academic criminal procedure in Heidelberg Is curious. If the city po lice apprehend a student, the captive shows his matriculation card. He is then asked for his address and set free, but will hear more of the matter, for j the civil authority reports him to the I I university. In Heidelberg the Univcr- i j sity Court try and pass sentence, the , civil power taking no further concern with the offence. The trial is very | often conducted in the prisoner's ab ] sence, and he may have forgotten all J about his little outbreak, until the uui- | versity constable appears to conduct him to prison. Ivorj Eye. u I'lt'.lge of I.ovo. Paris, which is always doing some- j thing extraordinary, has devised the ivory eye as a love token. The em- | blem of the engagement ring as a pledge of the union of hearts is sinking ] into oblivion in the exchange of eyes. ! The engagement eye must be an exact reproduction of the individual eye. | Every model must give ills or her ar tist at least three sittings to get tho i right shade and the perfect expression, t Then the lover carries his sweetheart's eye around with him as a watchful guard against evil. How It Struck Him. The Milliner —What did your hus band think of that thirty-dollar hat I made for you last week? Mrs. Helghfly—Oh, he just raved over it—when I told him the price.

Fighting In the military mast of the big battleships in our navy will prob ably be the most dangerous duty our seamen will he called upon to perform in the war with Spain, says the Kansas City Journal. Exposed to the full fury of the en emy's fire, with scarcely any protec tion, and with the possibility of having the entire mast shot away, the man on duty in tho mast is In a position per haps the most dangerous in all modern naval warfare. The steel barbettes of the present time, save in certain battleships, where an overhead shield is carried, give a protection more apparent than real, more picturesque than practical. And while the military top crews have the advantage of seeing something of the scrimmage, yet they present too in viting a mark to the enemy, and have stations which in battle are pretty sure to be untenable from the heat and smoke. The small arms men have frequent practice aboard ship, and considering the difficulties of the environment, are good marksmen. It Is no easy task to fire from a platform placed at the fob end of a pendulum, swinging irregu larly, and the results attained testify tc the Value of the drill and to the phy j sique of the individual. I On the larger battleships the mill | tary masts are hollow, and access t j the fighting tops is gained through tho I interior. The ammunition is also pass ed up inside. In the smoke and grimo of battle one can well realize what a hell these places would he. I Another thing that must he consld- I ered Is the fact that this will be tho j United States navy's first practical test of the modern warship. The last ten years have brought about a greatei and more sudden change in the out ward appearance of men-of-wur than has ever been recorded in the history | of naval affairs. This is in the main I due to the almost complete banish ment of sails, yards, and the more ot less intricate rigging necessitated by their use, in favor of military masts, or, in some cases, mere signal poles. The military mast of to-day is con- I structed primarily to carry guns, and secondarily for signalling purposes ' for it must be remembered that In ail cases in which ships have been equip ped with fighting tops since their very lirst Inception, the primary duty of tho mast which upheld it was to carry sail for the propulsion of the ship. I Some of the musts arc supplied with un upper top for the electric light, a peculiarly shaped edifice below to en ,able three quick-firing guns to be die (charged right ahead, and a species ol Iconning tower below, from which the captain cun overlook the smoke clouds and see to direct his ship in action The later types are all constructed with mucli the same ideas, j Some have a lookout, or conning tower, others have not, but ull havo three or six pounder quick-firing guns 1 and electric light projectors, and one or two lighter machine guns in addi , tion. The small caliber rapid-fire and ma chine guns employed in tops are sup ported by riflemen, and in every fight their work of clearing the guns, sweep ing the decks and superstructures, and of picking off the officers and leading men Is, to say the least, hazardous. In galley days the military tops were fairly well protected, but during the sail era the topmen handling the swi vel pieces and deck rakers, and form ing a special corps of musketeers, had no protection, except what was given by a jietwork of mattress-filled ham- I mocks. It would take a big projectile to bring a mast down, hut then, If it did, great would he the fall thereof. And think of the poor devils that would come crashing down with it! And think of them even If the mast doesn't come down, perched up there, living targets for shot and shell! The thin plating is of no avail against anything larger than a rifle bullet, and a small shell might pass harmlessly over the heads of the men in an open top which I in a closed one would have been burst by the iron sides and scatter death and destruction within. Australia'* C'nrloaltlr*. j There are some curious things in Central Australia. According to Prof Baldwin Spencer, Lake Amadeus, in the dry season, is merely a sheet of salt. Ayers Rock, about five miles round, rises abruptly from the desert. Formerly vast rivers flowed here, and the diprotodoton, a wombat-like crea ture, worthy of its name, and four times as large as a kangaroo, flour ished on the plains. Now there are hardly any animals to be seen. The fish live in water holes of the hills un til the floods wash them down to the valleys. At the end of the wet season the water frogs fill themselves with water, roll themselves in the mud, and He low till the next rains, which may not come for two years. Meanwhile the provident frog, like the "mousie"' of Robert Burns, may have the misfor tune to furnish a drink to a thirsty black. The natives also get water from the roots of trees. They are in the "totem" stage and revere certain plants or animals which protect them Men of one group can only marry wo men from another single group. Age of the WlinTe.
