GOLD MINSNG AND DEVELOPMENT COMPANY OF YUKON.
PRICE OF SHAEES '53 BE Afilifitiii MEGS? 33, HRS.
Mr. Joseph Ladue, the pioneer of the Klondike, and founder of
Dawson City, aided by some of the most Conservative and successful finan-
ciers of New York, is operating the strongest company yet formed for
mining and trading in the Yukon gold nulls.
)
To this Company he has transferred placer claims on Hunker and
Gold Bottom Creeks, the “ Marguerite” Quartz
Mine, his Saw Mill,
his Timber Lease, that virtually monopolizes the saw’ timber on the
Klondike, and large holdings of Choice Town Lots in Dawson City.
The Company also owns the S. S. “ Morgan City ” now earning $20,000 per
moat-h, and has shipped up the Yukon several hundred tons of merchandise,
for trade, upon which a. very large profit is assured.
The U. 5. Government
reports certify that the saw mill produces about two million feet of lumber
in the open season, sales price of which is from $140 to $240 per 1,000 feet
according to class.

AUNT JAN-
When Aunt Jan‘s
coming there's
such romping in
the house.
She's sweeter than a
daffodil and softer
than a mouse.
She sings about the
passages and never
wants a. rest.
And father says it's all because a bird is
in her breast.
When Aunt Jan's kissing there’s such a
crowding around her knees.
Such” clambers to her bossom and such but.
tles for a. squeeze;
We dirty both her snowy cuffs, we trample
on her gown,
And sometimes all her yellow hair comes
tumbling, tumbling down.
When Aunt Jan’s dancing we all watch her
as she goes,
With in-and-out and roundabout upon her
shiny toes; .
And when her merry breath is tired she
stops the fun and stands
I‘o courtesy saucily to us or kiss her pretty
hands.
When Aunt Jan’s playlng, the plan-3 seems
alive,
With all the notes as busy as the bees are
in a hive; ' .
And when it’s time for Bedfordshire, as
sweetly as a lurk
She sings that God is waiting to protect
us in the dark.
When Aunt Jan’s leaving we are not
ashamed to cry,
A-kissing at the station and a-waving her
good-by: ,
But springtime brings the crocus after
winter rain and frost,
So dear Aunt Jan will come again; she isn't
really lost.
—Norman Gale in New York Tribune.
Fun With Dutch Tears.
“It is a great wonder to me,” said
an old chemist in his laboratory the
other, day, “why more'boys do not
take up chemical experiments as an
amusement. Why, I can do things
with the common materials of every
day life which really seem to be more
magical to the uninitiated than any
of Ithe wonders performed by _magic-
lans on the public stage. .
“Now, there are those curious little
bubbles of glass known variously as
‘Prlnce Rupert’s drops’ and as ‘Dutch
tears.’ Apparently they are merely
little globules of glass with elOngated
tails,"m§de by heating a small glass
rod in a flame and allowing the mol-
ten drops to fall into water, After
they have cooled you may pound the
thick part with a hammer or mallet.
yet you cannot break them. On the
other hand, if you break a little piece
off their tails, or touch any part of
them with'agiquartz crystal, they will
disappear intogthe surrounding atmos-
phere quicker than snow will melt on
a hot fire. To the person who does
not know the reason the performance
is most astonishing.
“And yet it is all very simple.» It is
due to what is known as surface co- 2
heslon. Glass when heated to 21 mol-
ten state has naturally reached a very
high temperature, and when the drops
of melted glass are allowed to fall into
the cold water the sudden change pro-
duces a. stress all over the surface of
the drop which Is really terrific. This
stress, however, must be consideréd
as a whole. It is very strong when
taken all together, but it is exactly as
though a piece of very thin rubber
was stretched over the surface of the
glass. If you punctured the rubber
its haste to resume its normal condi-
tion would pull it olf the glass.
“So when you break off the tail of
the drop or cut through the film of
very hard glass with a crystal, its en-
deavor suddenly to resume its normal
condition results in its own destruc-
t10n, and it breaks up into particles
which are really finer than the finest
It seems like a wonderful per
formance, but it is no more wonderful
than many another which any young-
ster could perform if he would study
even the simplest forms of chemical
action.”

,A Chapter on’Young Turkeys.
Turkey eggs hatch in four weeks 1
after setting. “Strong” eggs hatch l
out several days earlier.
Take young turkeys from the nest ‘
as soon as they are dry, to prevent ,
them from mashing, wrap them up i
and keep in warm place. Give no ,
food for a. day and night; there is a ‘
residuum of yolk to be absorbed and ,
voided. Too_early feeding interferes i
with this pro zess
When all the eggs have hatched, l
remove the turkeys to a temporary
coop. Burn the nesting straw, white-
wash pen and boxes, sprinkle with
kerosene wash if vermin are sus-
pected. Grease heads, throat and un-
der the wings of old turkeys. Grease
with lard or unsalted grease all the
small turkeys, and return them to the
pen, and feed, for first week, harn-
boiled eggs, chopped fine, chopped
lettuce and onions, raw or boiled.
Feed hens grain and some soft food. .
For regular feed after first week
make curds of buttermilk or clabber
sealed and pressed dry from whey._
Sprinkle occasionally with red pepper.
Also feed plain corn cake, unsalted,
crumbled fine and moistened with a
little water or sweet milk; these are
the proper foods for young turkeys.
Feed" four or-five times a day,.in an
earthenware plate or vessel. Turkeys
are fastidious as to clean platters and
food. If eggs are not practicable for i
diet {or the first week substitute the i
curds. 3
Do not give raw meal dough, ,
buttermilk or sour milk. These pro- ,
duce diarrhea and this disease is the ‘
mortal foe of the turks, 2
If it be damp or rainy weather keep
the turkeys inside the pen for a week, ,
housing them in the nesting coops as ‘
night. After that period let them out .
every morning after the dew has dried ‘;
off. shutting them up- early in the :
evening. Wet, cold quarters, suddeui
showers and early dew baths will pro- :
duce diarrhea and slay the young .
turks right and left. -It is a good plan
to shut them up safely in the pen at
the first sign "of a shower.——American
Agrlculturist.
The New Celery Culture.
As the'level culture of celery has.
superseded the universally practiced l
trench culture many years since, so is l
the “bed- culture” gradually taking}
the place of all former systems. Itsi
principal advantages are that it econo- l
mizes both land and labor in growingi
as well as in blanching the crop. Five 3
or six times as many plants can be
grown on a given area. than under the
old methods. The cloSeness of the
plants shades the ground and partial
blanching ls eflected while the plants
are growing. Besides this, .there is
less danger of the washing of the?
ground, as the roots penetrate the en.
tire surface soil. Where plenty of
manure and water are available, the
bed culture of celery is Well worthy or
trial. .
Celery grown in this manner requires
but llttle blanching at the end of the
season, and this may be done by stor:
age in dark cellars or in outdoor tren-
ches so asto shut out light and frost.
Late in the season as frost approaches,
plants are taken up with a small por-
tion of earth among the roots and be-
ing closely placed against each other,
their blanching is soon completed and
they come out crisp and tender.—
American Agriculturalist. '
Helps to Prevent Potato Soul). >
A correspondent of The Farm and--
Fireside writes that he has for two
years been testing the value of a. rye
sod in which to plant his potatoes to
prevent» them from, being scabby. The
rye is sown in the fall and turned un-
der in the spring, when about six
inches high; then the potatoes are
planted. Although the land had pre—
viously grown very scabby potatoes
and was supposed to be full of scab
germs, he says the result was potatoes
“reasonably clean.” While he does not
claim perfect faith in the rye sod as a
preventive of scab, he says this or
some other cause has greatly reduced
the number of scabby potatoes in his
crop. His theory is that the decaying i
rye ploughed under produces an acid.é
in the soil which is unfavorable to the
development of the scab germ.
Controlling Red Spider.
In the greenhouses and among house -
plants this pest is often serious. Where ,
it is practicable the atmosphere should '
be excessively humid, as the mites do'
not work so readily in moist air.
Squlrting water upon the plants has
some effect. Spraying with soap emul-
sions is also advised. Kerosene emul-
sion, however, is the most effective of i
all remedies, and will
found the most convenient and satis-
factory.

The Sensitive Person.
There is no class of people that is
lso uncomfortable to live with as the
thin-skinned individuals who have
what are called “feelings,” and whose
hyper-sensitive natures are continually
on the lookout for grievances or fan-
cied neglect or unkindness on the part
of those with whom they are thrown
in contact, says New York Tribune.
It is a form of egotism that is not
generally recognized as such, but
which, nevertheless, is as self-centered
as the conceit which springs from van-
ity, which may be more arrogant, but
ls hardly less provoking. In fact, the
latter is generally accompanied by a
cheerful disposition, which is the nat-
ural result of self-confidence. and
which renders the owner a much more
pleasant companion than the met-bid
individual who is continually feeling
“misunderstood,” and whose self-de-
preciation is often aggravating to the
last degree. It is impossible to argue
with these people. The Irish- Biddy
who complains of those who are “in-
sultin’ of her" is not more utterly un-
reasonable and irritating than the
meek, aggrieved spirit who goes about
with a sad face and unhealthy self-
communing. brooding over trifles un-
til they assume exaggerated propor-
tions. The fact of the matter is that
in this workaday, practical world the
less one thinks about one’s self and
one’s feelings the better, and the best
chance of happiness lies inforgetting
our own individuality altogether and
living for others. '
A Touching Benediction.

Willard's death recalls an- incident that
occurred when the Pundits. was here
some ten years ago, as told in a peri-
odical of that timeby Elizabeth Por-
ter Gould.
It was at a meeting of the W. C. T.
U. in Tremont Temple,‘ Boston, when
Joseph Cook, introduced as the
“brother-in-law of the union,” present-'
ed one of the most strikingobject les-
sons ever glven to’the public eye.
After paying a tribute to the heroic,
far-seeing labors of the two, women
before. him, Pundits. Ramabal, repre-
senting the women of India, and
Francis .E. Willard the women of
America, he added that the sight on
the same platform of a “daughter of
the Ganges” wet-king: hand inghand
with “a. daughter of the Mississippi‘
for the uplifting of women the world
over was what many a soul had long-
ed to see, but: had died without the
sight. As he finished speaking he
' paused a moment and then requested
that the two women step forward. one
on each side of the desk. and clasp
hands over the Bible. This being done
he stepped a little-behind, between the
two, and, slowly lifting the Bible, he
said with great reverence, “Rise wom‘
an, by the heights of Christi-unity, to
universal civilization.” The etl'cct was
thrilling and profound; a high caste

Discard size l'lllow.
The dear, soft, cosy pillow, whose
soothing influence you miss, even when
sound asleep, if it slips away from you,
ought to be permanently put away.
It presses and pushes and insinuates
itself, like the bewitching but evil de-
signing thing that it is, into all the
cracks and crannies of cne's make-up.
While it seems to breathe out beauti-
ful dreams, it is really beguiling your
attention while it pushes your ears out
of plaw. It is making wrinkles in
your neck and deepening the hollows
over'the chest by forcing the has. for-
ward and the chest in. The same thing
happening every night will eventually
rob all the beauty the neck may have,
and nullify the good of theexercise.
So one must either sacrifice one‘s
neck or the pillow. It is true that the
first time you try doing without it you
feel as if you were at an inquisition
and taking an active part in the pro-
ceedings. 'But perseverance here, as
elsewhere, will accomplish wonders.—

'I‘no Honest to Pick up Slights.
She was a bright little woman, and
when someone apologized for an oc
currence at which she might have tak-
en offense, she laughingly disclaimed
any such thought. “I am honest. you
know, and so I don't pick up things .
belong to me—not even '
that don’t
slights,” she said merrily. “I don’t
like them anyway, and I have to be
quite certainthat one is intended for
my use before I appropriate it.” So
many people spend wearisome days
and nights in nursing grievances that
they have only “picked up” and’in
brooding over slights that were never
designed for them, that this sort of
honesty is heartily to be commended.

The most attractive models so far are
the close fitting apron shapes, longer

fasten with hooks "concealed by tiny
bows of velvet ribbon with a. fancy
