MARSHAL PERRY

will be called for that place or whether
Judge Wicbersham will proceed to
Fairbanks and hold court there is not
known. Mr. Perry is waiting at
Skagway for a decisirn on'that point
Mrs. Perry is with Marshal Perry.

When Leather Wm Money.
Leather was very early used as a
currency, the Romans employing It for
this purpose before either sold, silver
or brass cume into comma* use. His
tory Is full of references showing that
leather was used by the aoclents as a
sort of circulating medium of ex
change. It Is said on good authority
that so lato ar, during the reign of
Louis XII. of Franco the country be
came so impoverished and as a con
sequenc? money was so scarce that
little places of leather with a small
silver nsll driven through cach were
in general use as money. Some few
specimens of this leather money ui-e
still In existence, but are only to be
found In the possession of numis
matists, by whom they are highly
prized. /
Cultivate Tour Wife'* Friendship.
If a man has a good wife he has the
best friend It Is possible to have. "A
man's best friend," says Bulwer Lyt
ton, "Is a wife of good sense and good
heart, whom he loves and who loTes
him. In woman there are at once a
subtle delicacy of tact and a plain
soundness of Judgment which are rare
ly combined to an equal degree In a
man. A woman. If she be realty your
friend, will have a sensitive regard for
your character, honor and repute. She
will seldom counsel you to do a shabby
thing, for a woman always desires to
be proud of you. At the same time her
constitutional timidity makes her more
cautious than your male friend. She
therefore seldom counsels you to do an
Imprudent deed."
How It Happen.M.
An English lawyer was cross examin
ing the plaintiff In a breach of promise
case. "Was the defendant's air when
he promised to marry you perfectly se
rious or one of Jocularity?" he Inquired.
"If you please, sir," was the reply,
'It was all ruffled with Mm a-runnln'
Ms 'ands through it"
"You misapprehend my meaning,"
said the lawyer. "Was the promise
made in utter sincerity?"
"No, sir, aa' no place like It It was
made In the wash'ouse, an' me a-wrlng
ln' the clothes," replied the plaintiff.

A Need In Schoolmasters.
We should like to see a regulation
aat every schoolmaster before the age
of thirty should for one full year at
least be banished from the school world
and from the academic life even If for
that year he had to work as a navvy, a
sailor or a commercial traveler. The

what life Is will never take too nar

EXPENSIVE FLOWERS.
The Tnllp Craze In Holland In the
Nineteenth Centorj-.
During the tulip craze in Holland In
the last century in one year tlie sale1?
aggregated lu, 000, 000 tlorlns. Holland
went tulip mad. Tlie bulbs were quot
ed on tlie Stock Exchange. Ownership
In them was divided Into shares. Spec
ulators sold tbem short. At one time
more tulips were sold than existed. At
Lille a brewer sold Ills trade and good !
will In exchange for a bulb, which was
thereafter known as the brewer? tulip. I
i In Amsterdam a father gave one by j
i way of dower with his child. There- j
after the variety was known as the I
marrlage-of-niy-daughter. At Rotter- !
dam a hungry sailor, happening on a j
few, mistook them for onions and
ate them. The repast became as fa- 1
mous as Cleopatra's pearls and prob- j
ably exceeded It In cost. At The Ilag-.io
a poor fellow managed to raise a black
tulip. The rumor of thut vegetable .
marvel spread. Presently lie was visit
ed by a deputation from a syndicate.
For that ewe lamb of his the deputa- j
tion offered 1,000 florins, which he re
fused. He was offered 10,000 florins.
Still he refused. Cascades of gold
were poured before his resisting eyes. j
Finally, tormeuted and tempted, he j
succumbed. There and then the depu- 1
tation trampled that tulip under their |
feet. Afterward It appeared that the |
syndicate had already grown a gem
precisely similar and, unable to bear j
tlie Idea that a rival existed, had au
thorized the deputation. If needful, to i
offer ten times the amount which it i
paid.
TWO CLASSES OF OAKS.
One XotnMe For It* Wood* (he Other
For Km Itrilllnney of CoIorinK. I
The great oak family might be dlvld- I
ed into two classes? those that ripen
their acorns in one season, such as the
white, post and mossy cup oaks, and
those which require two full years,
such as the red. scarlet ami black oaks.
To' the first class belong the chestnut
oak and the live oak of the south. This
latter tree for generations played an
important part in shipbuilding, but lias
now been superseded by Iron and steel.
The leaf, which is an evergreen, Is en
tirely without Indentations and Is thick
nnd leathery. The wood Is very heavy
and strong, has a beautiful grain and
Is susceptible of taking a high polish.
At one time this wood was so valuable
that our government paid $200,000 for
large tracts of land in the south, that
our navy might be sure of a supply of
live oak timber.
To the second class of oaks we are i
largely Indebted for the gorgeous col- ]
ors of our autumn leaves. The ml, i
scarlet and pin oaks, with their brii- ]
liant reds, scarlets and browns, are I
close competitors with the maple in ]
giving our American landscapes the (
most wonderful autumn colorings to be 1
found anywhere In the world. These
three trees have leaves which at first
glance are quite similar, but by care
ful examination may always be dis- f
tinguished.? St. Nicholas. ?
