V | Consumption Out-door life and Scott's ^ Emulsion of Cod-liver Oil with Hypophosphites have cured thousands of cases of consumption in the early stages. They cure old, advanced cases too; but not so many, nor so prompt- 8 v ly. When a case is so far ad- I * vanced that a cure cannot be [ made, even then SCOTT'S R EMULSION checks the rapid I ity of the disease, relieves the 9 pains in the chest, reduces the g niaht sweats- an<4 ?n.ilr/t I cough easier. In these cases it t comforts and prolongs life. Don't experiment with cures that destroy the digestion. Pin your faith to the one remedy which has been THE STAN dard for Over 20 Years.

Thirty years ago Coinmissione Paulus Hersen persuaded th government of the Czar to sell a Russian America for $7,200,000, o V a little less than 2 cents an acre lie had coasted along lvotzebu Sound, in 1863, and after takin a farewell peep at St. Michael' Inlet, and the mouth of th Yukon, did not hesitate to repoi that "the value of that polar dif trict consisted chiefly of it sea and its swamp pines, both c which the Yankee trespasser would be sure to exhaust withi the next twenty years. Within week the folly of the transfe was consummated. Four-fifths c the territory has never yet bee surveyed, but the explored poi tions 01 tne numiu coast lands ar known to contain larger an more v-luable forests than Main and Michigan taken together. The fur yield of Alaska ha slightly increased on terra firms ^ but the value of the fisheries ha doubled thrice since 1SG7, an now reached an average of -15, 0(10,000 cans a year for salmo alone, besides thousands of bai rels of herring and about 10,000 [ 000 pounds of cod. Kvery mai woman, and child forming th population of this planet coul consume a barrel of Alask salmon every month in the veai for the next 100generations, witli out affecting the extent of th yearly arriving shoals to anypei ceptible degree. Coal in six varieties, includin lignite, but also the valuabl bitumen known as cannel eoa has been discovered at half hundred different points of th great northland, and may yet ex elude eastern imports from th Pacific markets as far south a l^os Angeles. And to all that luck has no\ added a treasure trovo of preciou metals, through it would be mistake to suppose that the die covery of placer mines datesfron the west Klondike bonanza. The Moscovite monarchy, it i [ true, is so large, so unreasonabl; and unconscionably overgrowr that the czars could sell nin other provinces the size of Alaski and still have a comfortable rem nant of real estate; but it inigh be questioned if that special cza ^ did not almost give away th most valuable tenth of his worh empire. For the southermost 50 miles the climate of Alaska j I k milder tban that of Europe an al 1 Russia. Sitka thermometers rare- \vi 2 ly register 5 degrees below zero; wi 9 those of Odessa sink to 15?not 011 to mention Moscow and and St. 0,1 Petersburg, where old settlers do jr not begin to growl till the frost . gc consolidates their beards and their bedposts. The truth seems to be that Major Ilersen did really pr not suspect the extent of the Alaska forests and judged the si( value of the mines from his ex- lo perience in Siberia, the gold-bear- 1" 5 ing rocks can be worked profita- n" I bly only with the cheapest kind a! a of convict labor. S Secretary Soward. on the other ^ hand, made a shrewd guess at the ? real value of the coveted penisula. |)(] $ There is an immortal story about a, j n oyiu imiiitu who hflu ft UllUCTOQ j t \\ K the wife of a "Pike," an unkempt1 to I squatter of l'iko county, Mo., | tu and, being overtaken by the ex- 'n asperated ruralists, tried in vain V to excuse bis escapade on a plea * of intoxication. "We have to ^ settle this matter with lead sir,'1 . co said the Pike, cocking his revol- j)(1 " ver. "Can't we settle it with si 1- |M ver?' asked the kidnapper, exhibiting a good-sized pocketbook. s(. a ".lust name your own terms, sir," j)e he addod, when he noticed that dr the avenger had reduced his dii r menaco to a half-cock. "Well, foi e stranger," said the Pike, in a voice Wi II still husky with excitement,"how r would 75 cents strike you?" '11 ). Our Yankee commissioners e must have remembered that ^ g anecdote when they received the (,j| 's first reply to their hypothetical ev e inquiry : "In case we have been t rightly informed that the govern- ha ment of his czarish majesty finds oi! 4. l -i* .... ,s m? expense 01 maintaining that a < if distant possession to exceed the h b revenue, for what amount in cash lSt n would they consent to dispose of 8 a it altogether" (there having alir ready been conferences about ^ if fishery privileges)? "Not tor n less than 10,000,000 or 12,000,000 . rubles"?about $8,000,000?was o the astouishing reply. (1 If it is true that Eastern Alaska \ v also abounds in silver and petroleum, the Russians must ad g mit that the blunder of our l( Tennessee shotgun negotiator has s been considerable eclipsed. d "What have wo done?" says a <li? correspondent of the Moscow f.Ij n Gazette in commenting upon the tin .. news from the placer mines.
