Theso finli skin clolhet are the work of the wo fnftn of the remote Oilyak and (Jold trihet of the Ii'ver Amur, tnd very odd garments tfiey are. The tribes live entirely by fishing snd hunting. Balmon, which iiscend the river to spawn, are their staple food, and the salmon skins, afUr be ing treated by the women, who are adepts, provide material f..r their clothes. First the acalos are rein ved to carefully that the skin is not broken. Then the skin it tinned and dresxxi tn make it durable, and finally the women tew it into varment. Salmon skin, when made info clothes by the Amm -Indian, is like kid in appearance, and softness, but It Is louglier than kid, in fact almost at toiifc-b at iiarclimcnt. It it dyed yellow and rel and indijto, and tome of the garment! into which it is made are highly orna'e. Curiously enough, most of the ornamentation it on the backt. The garmenti aro sown together with Una thread, also made of llh skin. Biill another uc to which fish skins is put it to decorate the boo! i of both men and women, rectiotit ot highly colored skin being sppl qued on the elk bide of which the boots are tntdo. One ot the fish tkin garments in the collection it a warm weather garment, for it it uulined. If it had been made in rant it would tie called pelisse, its front overlaps, and it seems to have reached the anklet of the wearer. In color it it a deep rnanila yellow, and it is highly ornamented. The outer-edgi tare bordered with a hMi skin band of dark indigo blue, and heading this it a narrow strip of red. tp the tide Seems blue panels are appliqiud iu t graceful arabctqtie desigu. 1 he tdgea of the arabesque are fastened to the bodv with at minute stiichosat if sowed by a machine. Bauds of simpler design ornament the top of the sleeves, aud there ate blue cuff. deooraive in outline. Another gown shows three bands about two inches wide, in dark blue, yellow and red laid close together. 1 hie garment it further orna mented with appliqued scroll figures in blue, each about two inches long, over the entire surface.

'Early in life," relates a man who hat now spent many decade in the service ot God and bia fellow men, "I learned from a very simple inci dent a wholesome leeson, And one that hat mice been of incalculable benefit to me. "When I was between twelve and fourteen year old my father broke up a new field ou his farni, and planted it with potatoes, and when the plants wore two or three inches Ligh, he tent me to hoe it. The ground of that piece was hard to till ; it was matted wuu graee roots and sprinkled wiib nones. 1 hotd the first row and then stopped to take a general look at the tak be fore tne. Grass at high at tbe potatoes was everywhere, aud look ing at tbe whole from my point it seemed to be a solid mass. I bad tbe work to do all alone, and as I stood ttaring at the broad reach of weedy toil, 1 felt a good' mind not to try to do anything more with it. "Just at that minute I happened to look down at tbe bill Deateet my feet. The grass didu't Beeto just quite at thick there, and I laid to myself, '1 can hoe this one well enough.' "When it was done, another thought came to help me ; 1 shan't have to boe but one bill at a time, at any rate. And to I went to the next aud the next. JJut here 1 ttopped again and looked over the field. That gave me another thought, too. I could hoe every bill at I came to it ; it was only looking away off to all the bills that made the whole teem impaible. "'I won't look at it !' and I pulltd my bat over my eyes so I could s. e nothing but the spot where my boe bad to dig. "In course of time I had gone over tbe whole field, looking only at the bill in baud,-and my woik was done. "I learned a lesson tugging away at those grass roots which lnevci forgot. It was to look right down at tbe one thing to be done now, and not to Liuder and discourage myself by looking on at the things 1 have not eome to. I have been woiktng ever since that aummer at the hill nearest my feet, and 1 have always fouud it tbe easiest way to get a hard task accompliahed, as It is the tree way to prepare a tioid f. r i he harvest."

No ship could withstand the ten i tie death dealing volleys, much lea tb. wooden gunboat that were already battle scarred by the conflicts of the few day previous. b'lwly the Merrimac steamed toward the enemy, centuring her fire on the Congress. With almost every shell that burst from the throat of the Merriimc's cannon an answering shriek of death could be felt rather than heard as the solid ball of steel nd iron plowed through thu Federal ship. The duel wat short, for in a very fe minutes the mast of the Congress tottered and fell. The vofscl was oo tire, and the lurid beauty of the background threw it hull into bold relief. The emoke then sank on to its decks for en instant, as one would press down the lid of a jck iu the box, and then followed the explosion of the powder magazine. With the iury of a maddened tiger tbe Merrimac darted at tlio enemy and buried it steel ram iuto its wooden bosom. At the Meiriuiac backed away the water rurhed ioto the hole, and a second alterward the Congress lurched to the bottom, defeated and destroyed. Iho pictorial representation ot this fight on the river at the Reunion will be faithful and true to life. There will be the background of tithing shells exploding in the air, and the color of war will all be there. At first the CongroM will be seen, rocking sullenly at her anchor. Iheu the Merrimac will appear iu the distance, rapidly approaching. 1 ben both boat will commence to exchange ear splitting volley of shot and shell. The powder maga zine of the Congress will be exploded and then the tial act of tbe drama, the ramming of the unking vessel by the Merrimac, will take place: Tbe spectacle of war la always one of strange fascination. Though we know it tragic outcome, it is nevertheless a tremendous display. And this will be no ordinary r yurth of July exhibition, for in the one evening of thi part of the entertain ment sixteen buudred feet of barge will be loaded with red, blue and white tire, thousauds of rocket aud bomb. Another feature of the dis play will be the illumination of the entire river at this point.

We have beard much recently thont distrcM in Porto Uico, about the discontent among the people and the widespread poverty that pre vails. Governor Allen, who is now in this country, on bit arrival, a few dayt ago, gave ont a roseate state ment of the condition there, in which be represented them aagrati fylng, and ttated that the represen tations to the contrary were without foundation and where not totally false were greatly exaggerated. Hit statement was substantially tn en dorsement of Governor Alien' ad ministration. The following sent to tbo New York Herald tell a somewhat different story from that told by Governor Allen : ' Govern r Allen within the last month or to ha made everl trip Into the interior and serosa the west ern end of the island. After hi re turn on each occasion he ha given to the local press optimistic state ments regarding the condition of the crops and the outlook generally, "Nevertheless hnndedt of per son In thi fertile island are actually starving because the plantort who formerly employed them have not the small capital necessary to plan' and cultivate crone. The Dovertv- stricken condition of the tailoring clatci la shown in their wlllingnes to emigrate. There are at present In the island emigrant agent for three different association one In Hawaii, one in Cuba and one in Ecuador. None of those finds it d: (Ilea It to obtain laborer. "One day last week at Goanica a load of emigrant tailed for Hawaii. They numbered nearly 900 men, women and children. Seventy five per cent, of the men were to emaci ated through hunger that it actually tired them toclimb the ship ladder. Most of them bad only the clothe on their back and absolutely no household belongings. The chil dren were mostly naked. "While it may be a good thing for the laborers to emigrate, yet the agriculturist aro becoming alarmed and are calling for Government in terference. The island press is unit ed io opposing t-x tended emigra tion to other countries. This is a statement of facts, with out any accompanying comment, by a writer who had lias motive for " Vtntation than Gov. Allen f In bis rose colored state- was substantially commending own administration. Are people ei.ger to emigrate by the hand rod from a country where prosperity prevails i The fact is that for so mo reason Porto Uico has been on the ragged edge ever since sho came un dertheU.S flag.

A GREAT TRUST FORMED. , Alaska Trade and Transport Com bine to Preent Conine. A late 8n Francisco pedal di patch says: A great ti oat of all trac ing and transport in Alifka whs formed here on April 6 with a cap ital of 10,250,000 nnder the double title of tbe Northern Navigation and the Northern Commercial Compa ny. The.se two companies incor porated under the laws of New Jet sey Include the Alssk Commercial Cornj aoy and A'ai-k Exploration Company, and the Seattle Transpor tation Company, The purpose of the combination i to prevent the cutting of rati and the demorMlizt tiou of trafllc which ha reunited from divided interests in Alaska. It was found that the only way was to make a combination of all cornpa nl operating in the Yukon, Sint Michaels, Hehring Sea, and Port Clarence districts, iho Northern Navigation Company will take over tfie asset of the four companies named which are connected with transportation and will do a sirictlr transportation business with a capi tal of 1:1.850,000. The northern company, capitalized at 7.000,000, will lake over all the planta and stocks of merchandise now onder tho control of tho four companies In Alaska. Tbo new companies ex ptct to Improve the service and to reduce the price of supplies as they will be able to cut down exfiensis. The principal ollice of the.combine will be in San Francisco. Dot Day In Dafiipan, Philippines. 'Our country bat doubtless the best postal system in existence tnd tbe most varied wsyt of reaching her citizens in the remotest wildt of tlio Philippines, as well as the 'Land of the Midnight Sun.' We have q'lite a peculiar system in these islands, which will likely lie inter esting to civiliz-d people.

Tbey wear no clothing ex cept a breechelout, and mi-ke the round trip of one hundred miles for one dollar gold. "They are a peaceful tribe and livo in a state of savagery, depend ing upon their hunting and fishing for a living. In their province are found many indications of gold end already score of prospectors have staked oiT claims and are waiting for our government to establish 'ime kind of mining laws. They hire these natives to wash gold for them, paying them 10 cents a day gold, and the peculiar part of it is, their pans are made from the bark of trees. "Every family hero baa from two to throe dogs of pedigree, from tho measly cur to the St. Bernard, and during moonlight night they make tho night hideous with ibeir howla. General Smith noti fied the presidento to have all dogs chained and not allow them to run at large on tbe streets, but this did do good and his next order was for the soldiers to turn out anil Hull ev ery rJig that might cross heir paths, and this was a dog day sure enough. All day long the crack, crack of the Krags could be heard, and as the sun went down there were hundreds of doge lea than when it came up. A b mnty of 10 cent was paid for each tail. "The Federal party hero is doing good in bringing about pacification. In Manila tbe American and Fili pino ladies have a Peace club which will also have an influence to bring about peace.

For tevcral weeks in the year, be fore and after Ju?e 21st, the tun never set on United Statet fcrritory, the territory right here between the Atlantic and the Pacific, without reference to Hawaii or the Philip pine Islands. That it to say, the ton rises oo the most easterly point of tbe United States befur it tc-tt on the most westerly point. The Aleutian Inlands, at every body know, camo into our p sion with Alneka.

The m jet easterly point of the United State i QiiodJy Head, Maine, tho longi tude of which ia !') degrees, 57 min utes west. Taking tho difference in longitude between the Iwo points Attoo and Qtoddy Head wo find that United State territory ex tends from enst to west 12Qdegrtes, ono-third of the circumference of the globe. Tji is not enough to hav . the sun rise on tho mort east erly part of tho United Slate be fore it sets on tho most westerly ; but wo understand it when we con sider the latitn io of the two points, and tho varying length of the day. In the la'itudeof Attoo and (j'loddy Head the sun is above the horiz m a short time before and a short time after Juno 21st for 10 hours and 15 minutes, and as the earth turns over on is own suit at the rate of 15 tie greet an hour, it will in 10 hours and 15 minutes txposu 213 degrees of its snrfap'j to the sun. We have found I list the distance between (v (fly IJetd and Attoo is 120 degrets, counting from eet to west ; still counting west, there fore, it must be 210 degrees from Attoo to (JuodJy Head. And if the son is above tbe horizon lot g enough in that latitude to shine on 2 t-t degrees of the earth ssurfac at a stretch, it mint be time der-- high at tnddy Head when it is ret ting at Attoo.

Experiment ware mule at different timet bd under varying condition with three regiments from each of several brigade. In one every man wat forbidden to drink any alcohol whatever while the tt lasted ; in the sec it id malt li'jtior only wat taken ; io tho third a ration of whia kv was given to paeh man. The whl-ky drinkers mamfe-etcd rmre dash at first, Imt generally in about four days showed signs of weakness and fatigue; those given malt li'juor displayed less dash it first, but their endurance lasted somewhat longer, while the abstainer improved daily in alertness and cUying pmer. In IheGcrm-in army experiment ire bci'g made with sugar, whieh is claimed to have such great sustain ing powers that it i propowd to erve it as an extra ration when un usual f'atigui are to Ik homo, Medical Ilceord.
