The upper circles of the Yukon Taley usually dwell in commodious homes >f boards well banked up with tailngs to keep the cold out, and measurng some twelve feet by fourteen. A :ominon household ornament is a hole n the floor, through which the owner :an descend and dig pay dirt in the rosty bowels of the earth when he has ime. Cooking is done on sheet iron ;toves, very light and small, lugged jvei the Chilkoot with other belongngs. There isn't generally much to ' sook on the stove except the three 'Bs"?bacon, beans and bread. In summer there is fresh fish; in winter tlso, if a man cares to brave cold feet )j standing on the ice to fish through i hole chopped in it. Besides, the lole has a way of freezing up again apidly. The cold is not so terrible a bugbear is many imagine. The air is very dry, ind it causes no discomfort to work nit of doors with the thermometer at hirty below. General humidity makes he cold as well as the heat worse to jear. Miners generally wear in winter the lative dress of skin trousers and >arka, with boots of seal or walrus skin, made by the coast Indians. The skin trousers are made of woodchurch selts or fawn-skin trimmed with white volfskins. Women wear the parka, or skin coat filched from the fawn or volverine,but they have to deny themselves the pleasures of dress reform so 'ar as to wear light short skirts over :heir leather breeches ami boots. In summer one can dress as in New fork. Housekeeping is most primitive. Men are in vast majority, and it is justomary, as it was in California, for ;hem to select partners and live two in i "shack," or cabin, to save housevork and divide expense. In winter here are no means of bathing without ;xtraor Jinary trouble. The snow leldom lies more than three feet deep, here are no thaws to make crust on ts surface, and all winter traveling is lone on shoeshoes. Prices are extraordinarily high, and rary according to circumstances, so hat one can hardly tell what they will ?e next spring, when the new crowd jets into. the diggings. Beef at fifty >r seventy-live cents a pound is perlapsafair example. Last winter, because the preceding summer had been i bad one for salmon, bacon had to )e fed to the sled dogs at a cost of wenty-tive or forty cents a pound. Vnd there have been times when a log was worth ?300 to kill to keep jome miner with plenty of "dust" jut no "grub" from starving. There are physicians in the Klonlike and there will be hospitals at several points, established by the Sis ;ers of Mercy from Montreal. Last viuter there was a benefit performmce in Circle City, when a quarter of jeef "snaked" into the country on a log sled, was raffled olf for $400 for ;he hospital. Now Circle City is pretty well deserted, and the hospital will be needed more somewhere else, rhere is still a post-office at Circle Diiy, and mails come and go every nonth in winter, by carrier to Juneani. In summer what a change there is! rhe thermometer rises frequently lbove ninety. Men" work sixteen and jighteen hours a day, slucing out the lirt they have been digging out all tvinter, and drop dog tired into their bunks at night to dreamless sleep, rhey can vary their food only a little. Fresh salmon are usually plenty, but Ejame is not. Hence the great bane of the country is scurvy. It is avoided by drinking a great deal of lime juice.

True, the season is short, but growth is very rapid while it lasts. Many vegetable crops require but a short time to mature. The Danish settlements in Greenland, quite as far north as these lakes, have pretty fair vegetable gardens. The men who first get into business as market gardners, supplying the Yukon basin with fresh vegetables, will need no gold mines. Surveyor Ogilvie thinks that there may be room in the upper Yukon region for 2000 fairly good farms. General farming will never thrive in "this region, in his opinion, but the special industry of supplying fresh vegetables and meat, under admitted ditticulties compensated for by high prices?that's not the same thine at all. The dav hasn't come yet when you can get a uice Georgia watermelon in Dawson for twenty cents. Indeed, watermelons can't be raised on the Yukon. Mr. Ogilvie's thermometer showed frost four times last August. So faij as cattle are concerned, they cau be driven into the mines, and kept fat on bunch grass all the way. Gold dust is the money of the Klondike. It is reckoned at .$17 an ounce, but is hardly worth so much, the samples assayed in San Francisco running rather lower. Nobody, seller or buyer, minds about enough gold dust to be worth a dollar or so. Nearly every man carries a pair of scales. Gambling is the great passion of the miner everywhere.

There are children in Klondike now, and a school is to be ready for next 9 season. There has been a school at Circle City and another at Forty Mile. With all its faults, with all the dirt and privation and the sordid strife for gold, there is something simple and line about this mining society. There are no snobs in it, no liveries except the livery of toil; no very rich men ? .-i x-? ?l???i? ?? UIIU lew CAtlCllIClJ pwui, I1U tuicvca except those who practice the permitted theft of the gaming table. One man is in literal truth as good us another; there is chivalrous regard for women, kindness for misfortune and ready courage for emergencies. It is primitive society with its faults and its virtues, which are not the faults and j virtues of the festering towns. There is manliness, at any rate; and there I are genuine human women, with the charm that comes of open air living and plenty of exercise. The curse of the country?as of any gold region?is its instability. There is no use making pleasant homes in a mining camp. If it succeeds, theresi1?1 11 i. x- ic i__ xi. ^ cienis an expect to muse vueir jjuc anil "mosey for the States." If it fails, every one will be off for fresh diggings and leave the shacks pathetically deserted. At one time the finest house in all Alaska was in Circle City. IA cost $3000 to build, but its owner was probably as ready as any one else to desert the place when the news of Klondike came. There can be almost no books or J pictures in the Klondike, or the Yukon fields generally. Freight charges are high on the St. Michael's route, and ! weight is eliminated as far as possible from a man's pack when he tackles the cbead Chilkoot pass. The dreary landscape, the almost perpetual sunshine of winter, which compels the resident to use snow glasses, if he would not be blinded, makes life weary and lacking in variety. There is some reliei when the magic summer brings out the scanty veg'etation at a bound, furthei up the Yukon, but in its middle stretches the forms of flower and tree are monotonous, indeed, almost beginning and ending with moss and scrubby little trees. Nature's pooi attempts at landscape painting are, at the best, soon marred by man. There is no occupation that spoils a country _ faster than mining. The great heaps' of "slickens" or tailings disfigure every stream, and the face of nature is all cut and gashed and hacked with nrosneet holes. r ? x Mosquitoes are the plague of life throughout Alaska aud the Northwest Territory. Scliwatka says they sting the bears so as to drive them crazy. When the poor animals are driven bj hunger down to the river in mosquito time they are so bitten about the eyes as to bepome blinded, when they die of starvation. The late E. J. Glave wrote of the pests: "A liberal daubing of bacon fat and pitch around the eyes and ears of our animals kept those sensitive parts free from the pests, and when my own head grew so bumpy I could not get my hat on I applied the remedy to my own anatomy with a good deal of success. When not feeding, our horses would leave the sheltered places and seek the open stone to avail themselves of whatever breeze was blowing; they would then stand in couples, so that each would have the benefit of the other's tail as a switch." Cattle are so maddened by the mosquitoes that they will gallop half a mile at top speed against the wind in an endeavor to shake them off, and then graze until the mosquitoes force them to make another dash for life. As the miners' camps are necessarily always iu lowlands along the creek bottoms -the suffering from these pests is considerable. Slavery and human sacrifice were common among the Chilkoot Indians a IblJLUli UqU. xugoc i guxuiu a savage, brutal race, and the average miner has more direct dealings with them going in or out over the pas.s than he is apt to have afterwards with the Yukon tribes. These coast Indians are the fellows that pack miners' outfits over the Chilkoot Pass at twenty cents a pound. They are tricky and dishonest, and mane use of all sorts of devices to cheat the traveler, and they lord it unmercifully over the Indians just beyond the divide. The Indians of the middle Yukon are a more friendly and humane, if not more intelligent lot of people. The miners see much of them. They will sometimes hire out to do day labor in the placers, but prefer fishing, and stolidly keep on in their old ways, in ' i* at 1. _a / a. spue 01 me rusu anu uurry ui me gum fever. They are very superstitious and believe that in parts of the country distant from them dwell superhuman monsters who eat people and are veiy fierce and cruel. These Indians are now generally fairly well-behaved and contented under the Canadian Government. A perennial charm of Yokon society is the fresh and youthful vigor of the men found there. Probably the average age is less than thirty-five. "An old miner" does not need to be an old man. A pioneer in the region may have had but ten years' experience and be but little past thirty. The few women in the mines average even younger. The unfortunate there are, but not the aged, and poverty takes its ills philosophically, having seen too many of the nris nnd downs of life to desrmir of ft turn in the luck.?New York World. From Brickyard to Premiership. The late Sir Henry Parkes, Premier of New South Wales, was the sou of a small farmer in Warwickshire. His career offers encouragement of the good, old-fashioned, rapidly disappearing sort, to ambitious small boys. His family moved first Jo South Wales, and afterwards to Birmingham; and young Parkes was sent to work when he was only eight years old. First he was employed on a brickfield. Rinl afterwards as a turner:, but. having married, lie at last decided to better his condition by emigrating, and landed in Sydney in 3839 with a wife, a baby and three shillings. Fifteen years later he entered the New South Wales Parliament, and at last became Premier of the Colony. As a boy he was passionately fond of reading Stump Denominations. Of the 250 stamps which have been issued the values have ranged from one cent to ?5000. five dollars is the highest value among postage stamps, but newspaper stamps reach the $100 mark, while a revenue stamp may represent$5000. ? _ 1% f Management of Late Cabbage. There is nothing better than frequent cultivation of cabbage to make it grow. Every time the soil in stirred, and especially is such warm, wet weather as the whole country has lately had, there is liberation of plant food in as large amounts as even a gross feeding crop of cabbage can require. It is in such seasons as this that care must be taken to upset late cabbage and loosen some of their roots so as to check growth. Without this the largest cabbage will split open and will soon spoil. Causes of Poor Milk. From many farm houses have come complaints that the milk seemed unusually poor, or, at least, the cream failed to rise in a satisfactory manner. In most of these cases the cause may be found in the fact that the milk has been set where it was so warm that it eoured before perfect separation could take place. In some cases, however, dampness and poor ventilation are responsible. Temperature of milk room 6houlcl not go much above seventy degrees, and ventilation must be good. Peach on Plum Stoch. It may be -worth while to remind fruit growers and farmers that the peach may be often successfully budded on plum stocks. If the trees are intended for planting on a heavy clay scil, they will last longer and be more productive if budded on plum stock than if budded on peach. The peach naturally succeeds best in fiandy soil, though it needs an extra amount of mineral fertilizers there. On a well-drained, heavy soil the peach j succeeds well enough on its own fitoclc. ! Only if on very wet soil should it be ! budded on the plum. Managing Swarms. Swarming is always a sure sign of prosperity in the apiary, and is attended with profit if given good attention. The first swarms that issue are always the best bees, as they are usually strong xn numbers, and they contain the old queen, which in the principal object, as she is already fertile and will begin laying as soon as they are ready to begin housekeeping. First, or "Prime"-swarms, as thoyare I termed, are the cream of the colony, and are more valuable than the parent stock they issue from. First swarms usually store more ' surplus honey than any other, and in ' every respect keep in the lead throughout the season, and the only objection to thein is that, as they ahvays con! tain the oldest queens, sometimes the ; queen is too old to successfully carry the colony through the following win t.er. There is a wide difference between first and second swarms from ; the same colony. Second swarms are accompanied by ' a young queen, and one that is not fertile, and she takes the chances of fertilization after beginning housekeeping, and as this requires her to take ; wing away from the Live, she stands one chance out of ten of becoming lost, | and if so, the colony will do no good I whatever of its own account, as they ; have no brood from which to raise i another. Since exploring the' interior of a : bee-hive we are no more at a loss to know when to expect swarms. The weather being favorable, we can tell to a certainty the day, and almost the hour thev are likelv to issue. Bees begin to construct queen cells eight I days previous to swarming, and at ; any time during this period we make discovery of these cells, we can ascertain their time of maturity by the adj vancementof construction. The cells will bo sealed over about the eighth day, aud at this time the swarm is due. Second swarms will issue eight days thereafter, at which time the young I queens will hatch. If we desire the | colony to swarm but once, and not i again after the first swarm has come ; off, we can prevent it by taking out i all but one Cell, or take all the cel?.s ! out, and introduce a queen. It will | be seen that the cause of second j swarms in the surplus of young queens, | and to deprive them of these, will prej vent further swarming. Swarms when not interfered with, ! will usually settle and hang in a clus! ter near their hive |for several hours | before leaving. It is only a rare exi ception that they ao directly away, and it is best not to molest them, but simply keep in sight of them until they settle, and when well settled get them in the swarming box and take them to the hive. For arresting swarms a little force pump and a pail of water is ; the best, .but it is necessary unless the j swarm takes wing the second time, and \ then it is but a small per cent, that ] can be induced to settle again with any ; kind of prevention.?Farm, Field and Fireside. The Snow Goose. Snow geese are excedingly graceful and beautiful birds, of about twentyi eight inches in length. They are sometimes known as White Brant and j? SNOW GEESE. Blue Winged Geese.

Every 3? spring these birds migrate to the North, and it is a curious fact that the old, white birds go first, followed a _ week or two later by the young or gray ones. Dr. Richardson is authority for the statement that they breed in the barren grounds of Arctic Amer- 1 ica. The young are able to fly in August, and by the middle of September they have departed for the South. They mainly feed on rushes insects and berries, and in turn are very ex- i cellent eating themselves,' but are 1 rarely domesticated.?New England i Homestead. Protecting Tomatoes From Frost. By exercising a little extra care, the season for ripe tomatoes may be prolonged for two or three weeks beyond the usual period. As soon as there are indications of frost, cover the tomatoes in the evening with some kind of canvass or old blanket. Between the rows of tomatoes drive sticks about four feet apart and nail strips of boards on the top at the height of the tomato COVER FOR TOMATO VINES. vines. Place the covers over these, letting the edges extend to the ground, where they must be fastened so that the wind will not blow them off. Leave no opening or the frost will get in. I prefer a heavy cover made of blankets, as this will often protect the vines when liglit canvass will fail. If the work is carefully done the tomatoes I will stand a great deal of cold weather, f ?Lewis O'Fallow, in American Agri- v culturist. Cabbage. The cabbage docs not rank high in : nutritive food value, consisting as it does almost wholly of woody fiber and water. Yet it has an important place among the vegetables handled by the grocers and in the home vegetable garden, for the housewife would hardly know how to arrange her winter menus without including it. Moreover, it is to the interest of tbe farmer to give a space in the garden or cornfield to cabbage, for any surplus not made U3e of in the house is very acceptable to the stock, and greedily eaten by it. It does not really pay to raise cabbage for feeding purposes, but a little extra supply needn't be wasted. The most inexpensive way of raising cabbage for the home demand, and one that is at the same time the least troublesome, is to take it out of the garden and plant among the potatoes j in the cornfield. Simply sow the seed | wliore til A i<5 tn rrrmr ami I avoid all the trouble of transplanting, wateriug, etc., wliicb are important factors in farm work and apt to prevent the cabbage patch from attaining adequate dimensions. The average man dislikes to break his back over a few cabbage plants, and the task is apt to devolve on the women, who, of ; course, haven't backs to break. The j crop will not be as early, but there I will likely be plenty of it, which is a 1 compensation. The seed maybe sown when the corn is planted, or earlier if desirable; later also if more convenient. Sow in hills, same as corn or potatoes. Eighteen inches or two feet is the j proper distance in the garden, where j space is to be economized. The cab- j baste will of course receive the same , cultivation as the other crop, and very j little hand work will be necessary as the cultivator will keep the weeds . down. For the ordinary grower, or the man j who merely grows a home supply, it is ; not necessary to bother about early and late varieties. A quick-growing j .variety may be sown the last of June or even, with a little coaxing, the first cf July, and make good heads. Or J seed of au early sort sown late answers | 1 every purpose of a late variety. The cabbage worm and the flea beetle are the chief insect pests of the j cabbage, though aphides or plant lice I sometimes attack the heads and prove | 1 troublesome. For the flea beetle, | 1 which works on the young plants, o I dusting of line road dust, or Scotch suuff, is effective. The worm is a more E troublesome foe, and years when it j abounds one might as well surrender i ' the cabbage paten, me best remeaj ; is sprinkling (spraying) with pari? j I green in solution before heading be- | I gins. Afterwards, of course, it should ? not be employed. Sometimes the' I I butterflies can be trapped enrly in the j | season, thus diminishing the supply. J The cabbage prefers a rich soil, J generously supplied with manure. By gratifying its preference we get mam moth heads, but invoke a danger. It d is awfully aggravating to have the heads fill up and keep on growing till j tbey burst and turn themselves inside out, being then of no earthly use. i The usual remedy advised for this is twisting or loosening the roots, the idea being that the plant devotes itself to repairing the damage done to its J i root system, and the head stops en- j - larging. But in actual practice this j i often fails, and I have come to the ; , conclusion that when the bursting has once begun there is no use trying to c stop it, and the only way to save the 11 head is to pull it up and feed it to the * liens, cows or sheep. The safest and ^ surest way is to take the heads in 0 charge before the bursting .begins, anil ? as soon as they are solid and full tip i pi them to one side, or loosen the roots | to by twisting the roots a little. This ; lE will stop growth and hasten maturity, t li and the heads will remain firm and I ^ I solid all winter.
