THE JOSEPH LAnUE
GOLD MINING AND DEVELOPMENT COMPANY OF YUKCN.
PHIGE OF SHARES TO BE ADVANCED AUGUST 3|. I398.
Mr. Joseph .J.adue, 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 operatinthe strongest company yet formed for
mining and trading in the Yukon gold fields. I
.~‘
,_ 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. “ Mbrgan City ” now earning $20,000 per
month, and has shipped up the Yukon several hundred tons of merchandise,
for trade, upon which a very large profit is assured.
The U. S. Government
reports certify that the saw mill produces about two million feet of lumber
in the open season, sales price of which is from $I40 to $240 per 1,000 feet
according to class.

' A Motive for a. Musical Education.
.No influence can be brought into a
home more elevating and refining
than music, but too often the acquir-
ing of musical skill and knowledge
by. a child .or young person is given a
wrong-motive. The knowledge is val-
ued as a means 0f attracting attention
to self rather than, to the making of
life to self and to others more lovely
and cheerful. The power to create
sweet melodies for others to enjoy
should be a great and unselfish pleas-
ure.
Too rarely is the musical education
used for the brightening of the home.
Too rarely is it considered “worth
while” t; | play or sing for the grati-
fication of one or more members of _a
family or the family. ‘
Music not only gratifies the sensepf .
hearing, butIIis the most powerful
stimulus to the imagination. It paints
pictures which no artist can repro-
duce, it writes poems of sweeter
rhythm and meter than have ever
been written.
“Play that little march again,” said
a tired man to his daughter, as he lay
with closed eyes on a couch, resting
after a hard day’s work and worry.
“I should think you would be tired
hearing it,”"she replied, a little petu-
lantly, but she played it over, this time
with more care and feeling than be
fore. . . «my... m
“It always rests me,” said the weary"
man. “It brings before me a plcture
of willows by a brook, a peaceful
landscape where cattle graze. At the
second part, the, scene changes some-
what, but the willows are there, al-
ways waving gently in the summer
wind. It is beautiful.”
Never again dldthat daughter think
it not. worth while to play for her
father.—-Womankind. -

Nutritious Food for Children.
Children need more nutritious food
than older people do; or at least they
sulfer more from the want ofit. Po-
tatoes, white bread, pastry and the'
many kinds of sweets'that make up
the food of grown people do notI'sup-
ply the necessary nutriment for the
growing brain, bone and muscle of
children. Sooner or latera diet eon~
taming sojmuch starch will tell on the
system; it may be in a ruined diges-
tive apparatus, weakened bones, Orin

most unknown in by-gone- days. when
plain and simple food was the- rule.
In most foreign countries sweets I(ex-
cept at holiday seasons) are almost
unknown. Sometimes ItheIfOod is of
the plainest and coarsest, but almost
invariably thechildren are rugged and
healthy. 'As soon as children begin

How Bonnet Is Made. --
“It is strange. but not one person in
a hundred can tell you exactlv what
rennet it," said a wholesale dealer in
the commodity. “Rennet is the glutin-
ous membrane covering the stomach
of the calf. and its preparation for the
.marketrequires' a high degree of skill. .
It is obtained first by cutting away
carefully the lining and soaking it in
salt and water for several days, the
water being changer] every day until
every part is thoroughly cleaned. It
Is then placed in a. high clean tub, and
the whole mass is covered with the
very best cherry wine. This is al-
lowed to remain on the rennet till it
becomes a thick jelly-like substance.
which is then dissolved in alcohol and
sherry wine. . '
“After being reduced sufficiently for
convenient filtering it is passed many
—often a score of times—through the
filterer, and the result is the clear and
limpid preparation of commerce known
as rennet. Physicians recommend rcn-
net as being most nutritious and bene-
ficial for personsrof .weak digestion
and dyspeptics. Milk thickened by
pure rennet is at once partly digested
and becomes for the sick :1 most in-
vigorating nutriment, and for the well
a most delicious dish.”—Washington

A Vine Anyone Can Have.
There is no prettier vine for veranda
.or rock work or as a covering for an
unsightly place than the cinnamon
vine and bitter sweet planted together.
A very desirable quality of both is
that when once planted they come to

ing no more care after being planted,

There is no better way than to burr

over the large stumps is used. This
cylinder tapers into a cone-shaped fig

this and the whole apparatus is placerj

George Bancroft Griffith,
‘iLlcklng" a Royal Highness.
During her majestyh residence at
Osborne, about forty-five years ago,
her_ children were accustomed "to ram-
ble' alOng the seashore. NOW, it so
happened that on one occasion the
young Prince of Wales met a boy who
had been gathering sea shells. The
young prince, presuming upon his high
position, thought himself privileged to
do what be pleased with impunity, so
without any notice upset the basket
of shells. The poor lad was very in-
dignant and said: so. 4
“You do that again and I’ll lick
you." . .
“Put the shells into the basket and
you Will see if 1: don’t,” said the
prince. ,
The shells were returned to the bas-
ket.
“Now, touch ,_.them_,.;agaln, if you
dare,” said the boy. Whereupon the
prince again upset the basket and
shells. The boy then pitched into him,
and gave him such a licking that few
princes ever had. Hislip was ”cut

out of its perpendicula;,I_§nd his eye:
NIwere of a color which might have well

Burdock as 3 Vegetable.
What is even regarded as a vile weed
can, with a little stretch of imagina-
into an ornamental
plant or delicious-vegetable. This is
especially the case with the common
burdock, Lappa major. SchOolboys
all know: it from gathering the burrs
and compressing them into a ball, they
being held together by the curved
points of the floral involucre. This is
all they know about it. It is difficult
to see anythinggmore to be despised
in the burdock leaf than in the leaf of
thevrhubarb. It appears, that it, is
largely used in China for feed. But it
is stated that if the stalks be' cut
doWn before the flowers expand, and
then be boiled; the taste is relished
equallywlth asparagus. The leaves,
when young, are boiled and eaten, as
we eat spinach. - In Japan it is in uni-
versal use. Thousards of acres are
deVotedto its culture. -But in this
case the root is the object. It requires
deep soil to get the roots to the best
advantage. The common name in
China is gobbo-,-—a name, however,
which need not replace our common
one of burdock.
Spider Weather Prophets.
Mexican gypsles can foretell the
weather accurately. Of course they
trade on the knowledge, but how do
you suppose theyoften get it? Why,
simply by watching spiders, which
generally alter their webs every twen-
ty-fbur hours. In summer the boys
and girls will find it. interesting to
~ watch the llttle‘arachnida. Ifyou see
them at work bright and early in the
morning, be sure of a clear day; and
if they make the terminating filamehts
,of their I, webs unusually long expect
fine weather for at least a week. If
they are very busy between six and
seven. o‘clock in‘the' evenlng,.look for!
