Governor Hoggatt during a recen'
interview with his patron, the presi
dent, declared that those in Alaska who
favored territorial government were
the saloon bums, the rowdies and the
gamblers.
All that the distinguished gentleman
from Juneau, the fountain head of
virtue and the hot bed of political graft
has to say may b ? true.
If it is so we are proud of our
compeny.
In the delectable gang with which
the governor declares we ?re training J
there are, fur instance, rowdy T^m j
Cale and saloon bum Frank Waskey.
Then there is gambler "White horse" ?
Smith and ourglar Harry Atwood.

upou which Tom Cale and Frauk :

The governor of Alaska has possibly
not forgotten the fact that upon this I

ed by such a tremendously popular i
vote that none ot :he others in t?>e j

HINDOO ACROBATS.
They Perform Wontlrrfnl Feata of
Balatu'lnjc anil iluKnllns.
There is always an abundant supply
of stories of the exjwrtness of Iliiidoo
jugglers and acrobats. One who moves
about perched upon a'single long stick
' Is remarkably clever. This perfoiyier
is mounted on a bamboo pole about fif
teen feet high. the top of which is tied
to a girdle around his waist. A small
cushion is fastened a few feet down
the pole, which acts as a leg rest The
acrobat hops around a large space In
the liveliest way. uttering cheerful
-shouts and accompanied by the tapping
of a curious drum. lie also executes a
sort of dance and goes through a little
pantomime. It is a marvelous feat of
equilibrium. To walk on a pair of
stilts as high' as this would be a per
formance worthy of comment, but to
hop around on one Is quite auother
thing.
The same man can do many other
wonderful things. lie appears abso
lutely perfect In the art o' balancing.
He can balance a very light stick on
his nose and a heavy oue on his chin
and then throw the heavy one into
the air and catch it on the end of the
light one. When balancing these two
stkks, end on end. he will muke one
revolve in oue direction and the other
the reverse He puts one hand on a
dat. circular stone, throws his feet up
Into the a'.r and balances a stick on
each of them. At the same time he
revolves rapidly on the pivot formed by
his arm and the stone.

tic Art of I.ylnic.
Very few of us, indeed, are exempt
from the ehargo of difect lying. Not
J to mention the strategic lies told to
enemies in time of war. to criminals, to
sick persona and lunatics, as to which
pages upou pages of casuistry appear
In the older works ou moral science,
there are what may be termed the lies
lubricant, wrung from us by etiquette
and good breeding. If the amenities
of life were not preserved through the
gentle art of lying society could scarce
ly continue as a happy family; we
should all have to live in separate
cages. The best of us will tell direct
lies on trivialities where politeness Is
Imperative. Wherever practicable, how
ever, the spirit of advocacy prevails.
We say whatever we can truthfully,
and tactfully pause while the bearer's
self love and imagination till out a
generally agreeable impression. Fam
ily relationships, even more markedly
than business or social relations, ex
emplify the universal attitude of advo
cacy. Mr. ltouadabout says: "Go to
Brown's house and tell Mrs. Brown
and the young Indies what you think
of him and see ivhat a welcome you
will get. In like manner, let him come j
to your house and tell your good lady
his candid opinion of you and see how
she will receive him." No one save
an unspeakable cad would spealf slight
ingly of a husba.id to bis wife; uo oue
save au unspeakable cad would tol
erate slighting language in his pres.
ence concerning his wife. Such is the
conventional law as to spouses, par
ents, children, blood relations In gen

uriaKiug Hot Water.
Persons who have irritability of the
heart should not drink hot water. Hot
?water will cause palpitation In sucb
cases. Persons with dilated stomachs
should avoid the drinking of hot water;
persons afflicted with "sour etomachs;"
persons who have soreness of the
stomach or pain induced by light pres
sure should also refrain from drinking
it. Hot water will relieve thirst bet
ter than cold water, and for that pur
pose it should not be condemned, but
hot water is an excitant, and In cases j
in which irritation of the stomach ex
ists it should be avoided.

Its bands a regular motion, and when
they cease to hang upon its wheels the
pendulum no longer swings, the hands
