A San Francisco paper reports that do" meat sell for $." a pound In Alaska nowaday. This lit simply outrageous, conldering the market price of bologna sausage here. An Ohio man has sued for a divorce "bw'iniw his wife refused to cook for his iiet bulldog." It is pretty evident that his wife made a mistake In not marrying that bulldog. A Nebraska lover,' Jilted by a faith less sweetheart, lias brought suit: to re cover a Jeweled garter which he rt cently gave her. Why should he want such n hollow mockery? The Atehist u Clobe says: "This Is the season when we feel about noon every day Just as if we were being hugged by some fat woman." Maybe you are; you'd belter Investigate a little.

BlpAN NOT PASS The law of increase U reiterated In the history of the potato crop of the Hudson Bay region, uh related by tbe Hev. Ldgerton H. Your?. . He carried won him to that distant land a few po tatoes, ihe size of walnuts, wrapped mem in cotton, and bung them near a utove to keep them from freezing. In the spring they had shrunk to the size of peas; but they were planted and carefully -nurtured. A pailful of fine potatoes was dug in the autumn. The crop the second year was sir bushels; the third year one hundred and twenty- Are bushels, which were divided among the natives; until now thousands of bushels annually vary the hitherto ex elusive diet of fish and game of the peo ple of northern Canada. To do to the Indian as we would have luni do to lis were he In authority Is the only solution of the Indian prob lem. Tills was the ground taken by General Sherman, himself one of 4 he hardest of Indian fighters. After the great battle under Kit ('arson, the Navajo Indians were sent to an un wholesome reservation where they died by hundreds. One of the chiefs laid the situation before General Sher man, pleading that they might be sent away. "Where do you vvnnif to go?" asked the great-hearted soldier, laying a map before liim: "for there you shall go." "My people are 111; they cannot walk," urged the chief, "I will send them in wagons." was the reply. "I culled you my friend," sobbed the stoic, throwing his arms about Sherman's neck. "You are God!" Huston explains that it rejected the Bacchante statue, not because it is nude, but iM-causc it is frivolous.

In no other country on the taop of (he globe is tlie railroad mileage any where near as large relatively to the number of Inhabitants us In tlie I'nlted States. To see this, one has onlv to turn to tlie latest si.-itlstlea on the suli-Jei.-t. The chief nations of Europe have one utile of railroad to an average of 2,firi(i people; while In this country the average is ,'iso inhiiBltiiuts to one mile' , of road. This is the result of the com petition between different railroad coin pnnle.H. In.

It has proved its right to the title by a notable series of achievements in the East Itiver, New York.

In endeavoring to get through the tangle It siua.sht-d into the Chancellor. In trying to get away from the Chancellor It was In danger of running into the Isabella, which was crowded vcl'th passengers. To avoid this the commander of tlie Maine headed It for shore. It struck a pier, , smashing the whole outer end of it and ripping up Its planks. Then it lmcked out and took a shy at a rail road float with ten freight cars, all of which It sent -to tin- bottom of the river In a jiffy.
