ALASKA. A Land of Groat Resource* and of Amazing Distances. Alaska on some near tomorrow la expected by an official of the Dnlted States geographical survey to have | half million increase in population. The metal and coal mining industries should each support at least 100.000, and if a third of the land classed as arable is now available for farming It will furnish 20.000 homesteads, supporting over IHU.OOO. The tourist who travels to Glacier Bay, the capital of Juneau, and the picturesque Sitka must not suppose bo has seen Alaska. He could skirt another 5.000 miles of coast line to Cordovtr, Valdes and Seward, and then, writes a correspondent of the San Francisco Chronicle, if he would see Alaska his journey is only well begun. For the gold Helds of Fairbanks would be 400 miles to the north, and those of Nome would be as distant as New York is from Chicago. It would be a still greater distance to the seal rookeries of the Pribilof Islands and the great tundras of the north, with their herds of wild reindeer and their lonely Eskimo igloos, while to reach the westernmost Aleutian island would require a journey half as long as that from New York to Seattle. Should the tourist retrace his steps to Skagway, cross the White pass and follow the mighty Yukon for 2,000 miles to Bering sea his knowledge of Alaska, while much enlarged, would still be incomplete. Society’s Mandates. < Society can and does execute its own mandates, and if it issues wrong mandates instead of right or any mandates at alt in things with which it ought not to meddle it practices a social tyranny more formidable than many kinds of political oppression, since, though not usually upheld by such extreme penalties, it leaves fewer means of escape, penetrating much more deeply into the details of life and enslaving the soul itself.—John Stuart MUI. The Übiquitous Purist. Vicar—l’m sorry to hear you’ve been so poorly. You must pray for a good heart. Thomas. Thomas—Ya-as. zur. But it’s my liver wot be wrong, ye know, zur.—London Telegraph. Sky High. Howell—Our servarft kindled the fire with kerosene the other morning. Powell—Did you reprimand her? Howell—You bet she got a blowing up.— New York Press. Hold your tongue and you will paw for a philosopher.—ltalian Proverb.
