'Hard Times Come Again NoMor'In my boyhood, while at play, I heard some laborers on their way from the fields singing: "Hard times, hard times come again no more." I asked the meaning of the song, and was told that years ago, the people had felt hard times, and now rejoiced that good times had come. Yet at that ,time there was not $300 in cash within the entire community. Calico was 20 cents a yard men worked from 5 a. m. to 7 p. m., and lived on the coarsest food yet there was less complaint and unrest than at present. In those days beef steak once a week was a luxury, and a weekly newspaper was an extravagance.

But today, while we are living like princes and rolling in luxuries we sing "hard times." All political parties sing it, while spending fortunes in conventions and millions on railroads. _We sing hard times while riding $100 bicycles, eating 15 cent beef steak three times a day, smoking 10 cent cigars, and having three courses of the best provisions from the markets of,the world. We whine hard times while we spend $200 on a summer excursion. We shout it while we squander millions in theaters and base ball parks. We tell about it, while we stand upon Brussells carpets, under electric lights, or sit on plush divans by gas fires. While reading both morning and evening dailies that are carried to our doors for 1 cent. We ring the changes on it while amusing ourselves talking through telephones. We,growl it after spending $500 for bicycles, double that for pianos, organs and unnecessary luxuries. Last year we spent $6,-000,000 for preaching, but the dog-bill was $60,000,000—ten times the amount spent for preaching.

Now is it right to cry hard times when we are squandering millions in extravagance? Better turn the day into thanksgiving. God has given us the grandest country on earth. It flows with milk and honey, and no giants are here. A day's labor today will buy twice as much clothing, three times as much food, and five times as much education (books and papers) as it would fifty years ago. We spend $*50 for whisky to every $1 for missions, and as much money for drink as for bread, meat and education combined. Let us quit our sins and give up extravagance and we will sing, "Hard times, hard times, come again no more." —J. V. C. in Indiana Christian. j?

Advice to Daughters.

Eli Perkins, who made his fame as a prevaricator and humorist, shewed a depth of feeling and pathos unsuspected by his most intimate acquaintances when he wrote the following:

A father talking to a careless daughter said: "I want to speak to you of your mother. It may be that you notice a care-worn look on her face. Of course it has not been brought there by any act of yours still it is your duty to chase it away. I want you to get up tomorrow morning and get breakfast. When your mother comes and begins to express her surprise go right up to her and kiss her on the mouth. You can't imagine how it will brighten her dear face. Besides you owe her a kiss or two. Away back, when you were a little, girl, she kissed you when no one else was tempted by your fever-tainted breath Ttnd swollen face. You were not so attractive then as you are now. Through years of childish sunshine and shadows she was always ready to cure, by the magic of a mother's kiss, the little chuffy h?nds, whenever they were injured in those early skirmishes with the world, and then the midnight kisses with which she routed so many bad dreams, as she leaned above your restless pillow, have all been Qn interest these long years. Of course she is not so pretty and kissable as you are, but if you had done your share of the work during the last ten years the contrast would not have been so marked. Her face has more wrinkles than' yours. And yet if you were sLk that face would appear far more beautiful than an angel's as it hovered over you, watching every opportunity to minister to yourcomfort, and every one of these wrinkles would seem to be bright wavelets of sunshine chasing each other over the dear face.

She will leave you one of these days. These burdeps, if not lifted from her shoulders, will break her down. These round, hard hands which have done so many necessary things for you will be crossed on their lifeless breast. Those neglected lips which gave you your first baby kiss will be forever closed—opened in eternity, and then you will appreciate your mother, but it will be too late."

BY THE BUCKETFUL

HOW ONE MAN SAW IT MEASURED IN KLONDIKE.

Dawson City *n Up-To-Date Mining Town —Seweomera Mtit Depend 011 New S

San Francisco special: Edgar Misner, whose father was once minister to Central America, went up to Dawson City in March last by the Juneau route. He. has sent a letter, dated June 19, which gives the best account printed of the crowd of newcomers at Dawson, the feverish activity in building and the wild rushes of excited prospectors when any report of a rich strike reaches .the place. Mr. Misner writes: "We reached Dawson about 3 o'clock in the morning and found one of the liveliest mining camps I ever saw. .there are about 4,000 people here, and saloons, dance halls and restaurants never close. The gambling tables are always crowded, and thousands of dollars change hands in a remarkably short time. Men who this time last year did not have a dollar now count their wealth by thousands. Nearly everybody has a sack of gold dust with him as big as a policeman's club. "The sun sinks out of sight now about 10:30 p. m., and comes up about 3 a. m. At midnight, however, it is almost as light as noonday. There is no night. At Dawson there is a little sawmill, and rough houses are going up in all directions, but for the most part it is a city of tents. On the shore of the river are hundreds of boats and others are getting in every day.

out northeast and southwest, the latter toward American territory. A claim is 500 feet in the direction of the river and from bank to bank, provided it does not exceed 664 feet. The cost of recording a claim is $15 and the yearly rental $100. Claims have been sold as high as $50,000, and a still higher price has been refused for others.

Characteristics of Greek Scenery. Thomas Dwight Goodcll write of "A Journey in Thessaly" in the August midsummer holiday number of The Century. Prof. Goodell says:

To offset these drawbacks, the scenery is an unfailing delight. Two things above all others characterize the scenery of Greece. First are the marvelous col-or-effects wrought'by a Southern sun in a pellucid atmosphere. This excess of plein air, this ever-changiiig aura of ethereal hues, mocks the painter's palette, as it docs all verbal description. And then one must add that incomparably blue sky, to whose flashing wavelets the Aeschylean phrase, "unnumbered laughter," is more fitting than to those of any other waters. In the second place, no other region so small can boast such great variety. Sailing up the Euboean strait, after the Cyclades have grown dim astern, one passes a striking succession of green shores, bare gray mountains with one or two caps of snow, and here and there a forest. Those smiling fields on the left were part of Aulis, where the thousand ships of the Achaeans gathered, "bearing woes to Piram and the Trojans." Then comes the narrow Euripos with its rushing current. Again the* strait widens the long stretch of gray cliffs ahead of us on the right is the base of Makistos, one in the series of mountains that Aeschylos makes bear the signal-beacons between Troy and Mycenae. Before we

THE GOLD FIELDS OF ALASKA.

This map of Alaska, showing the latest location of gold Uelus, Indicates the vast extent of the uelds In American territory as compared with those about Klondyke, in British territory. The American fields that have proved so profitable In the past are located along the Yukon, from the mouth of Forty-Mile creek to the mouth of Birch creek. This latter creek and both Forty-Mile and Sixty-Mile creek with their tributaries, are also rich In gold, and are being worked today. However, new finds have been made on the i'unana river, which Is practically unexplored and nearly as large as the Yukon. The Noatak and Koyukuk rivers are also gold-bearing. Cook's inlet has given up much gold, as has the Kenai pen.nsula. The map Indicates the two routes to the interior. One Is by water from the Pacific coast ports 2,000 miles to St. Michael's. Thence the Journey is up the Yukon some 1,700 to 3,000 miles further on. This Journey takes nearly a month and a half. The inland Journey i8 over the pass back of the Chilkoot Inlet, partly by land, partly by lake and river, to the gold fields. The distanoe Is nearly 700 miles to Klondyke from Juneau, an- It take* a month or two months to make the diggings, according to the season of the year. As shown in'the smaller map, it has been proposed to build «. railroad from Dyea to Lake Llnderman, through Chilkoot pass. The bill allowing thla Is still before Congress and has not yet oeen acted upon. Another route to the Ttukon rarely used Is by Chilkoot inlet via Daltoir's trail. No lakes nor rivers are on the route, but the trails run over a high, level prairie. Old pioneer Dalton, after wnom the trail la" named, is now driving a band of sheep on the trail to jjawson City, where expects to arrive in August with fresn meat for the miners. The Chiton trail la well adapted for driving stock, but for men ine tramp Is too long.

"Klondyke has not been one particle overrated. I have seen gold measured out by the bucketful. Just think of a man taking $700 out of one pan. of dirt. Mrs. Wilson, wife of the Alaska Commercial Company's agent, panned $154 out of a single pan in one of the mints I am to take charge of. This is without doubt the richest gold strike the worla has ever known. "With all the new men in the country many miles of nevy ground will be prospected, and from the lay of the land I think other gold fields are certain to be located. Of course, every foot of rich ground has an owner, so the newcomers have to depend on new strikes. Ev

5ay rumors of new discoveries reach here, which at once aiarts stampedes, and hundreds rush out to stake claims. "This rushing out is awful work. You have to race" through deep, slushy swamps and fight millions of mosquitoes, climbing mountains covered with soft moss and thick brush. It is very hot in the middle of the day. Yesterday the thermometer was 97 degrees, and on top of it came a rumor that gold had been found on a creek seventy miles away. So at night the Alaska Commercial Company's steamer Alice started for the creek loaded to the guards with men and small boats. -«i.y duties kept me here, but my brother went out with the rush to put down his stakes. The gold is here, and the man who doesn't get some of it has himself to blame for it."

Every claim within miles of the Klondyke river is taken up, and nearly 5,000 people are at the new diggings. Those who got in late have gone further to the northeast of the Klondyke to look for new locations. The Dawson City region was still paying at latest accounts, but mining parties have struck

Paint stain can be removed without leaving any mark by rubbing with turpentine with a sponge, but when dried it is better to mix with the turpentine an equal part of pure alcohol and clean off with benzine.

When cream is extremely rich it can be whipped more easily if a little milk is added to it. It will also whip more easily if it is well chilled.

One way to brew tea for the 5 o'clock cup is to pulverize the leaves, moisten them with cold water and let them stand twenty minutes then add a sufficient amount of boiling water and steep one minute. This is called Leigh Hunt tea.

When crewel work is to be washed it is best to make the process as quick as possible, to keep the colors of the wood from running. Rinse well and roll in a cloth and wring dry. Iron on the wrong side as soon as it is dry.

Pillow-case tubing is the correct material to buy when a supply of new pil-low-cases and bolster-cases is needed. It is much better than the ordinary muslin, being woven so that every width may be bought, suitable for all sizes of pillows and bolsters. There is only one seam to sew up—the end seam —and the hem to make. The long side seam that is so apt to pucker is entirely dispensed with.

The great heat plague of August, 1896, was not without its lesson. One could not fail to notice in the long lists of the dead throughout this country, that so many of the victims were women in their thirties, and women between forty-five and fifty.

The women who Succumbed to the protracted heat were women whose energies were exhausted' by sufferings peculiar to their sex women who, taking no thought of theimselves, or who, attaching no importance to first symptoms, allowed their' female system to become run down.

The readers of this paper will be pleased to learn that there is at least one dreaded disease that science has been able to cure in all its stages, and that is Catarrh. Hall's Catarrh Cure is the only positive cure known to the medical fraternity. Catarrh being a Constitutional disease, requires a constitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure is taken internally, acting directly on the blood and mucous surfaces of the system, thereby destroying the foundation of the disease and giving the patient strength by building up the constitution and assisting nature in doing its work. The proprietors have so much faith in its curative powers that they offer One Hundred Dollars for any case it fails to cure. Send for list of testimonials.

I had dragging pains in my back, burning sensation down to my feet, and so many miserable feelings. People said that I looked like a dead "woman. Doctors tried to cure me, but failed. I had given up when I heard of the Pinkliam medicine. I got a bottle. I did not have much faith in it, but thought I would try it, and it made a new woman of

Love of pretty heloiiaings is natural to every woman. From the classic robes of Aspasi.i to the rich dresses of lOlixaix'th, thence to the wodOing jrowri ov I'l-ritan Priscilla, we see the attractivouess of dress. While any woman of taste can supply herself with becoming Koivrm, it is not every one who understands keeping themi in good orde this is eapeci.'i.U.v true of summer gowns, so easy to soiL and so expensive to laundry: therefore every woman' should ieam the art of washing her own mu«lin«. To do the work fill a tub two-thirds full of warm water, dissolve a cake of Ivory soap (which will not fade the most delicate colors), add it to the water, wash the garments through it rinse first in clear water, then in blue water, wring, dip in thin starch, shake and hang in the shade. When dry, sprinkle, and iron on the wrong side. A gown laundried in this WfW will remain fre»h aad pretty all summer. ELIZA R. PARKIER.
