MUSICAL TliOR
IS A MASIER
The performances of Musical Thor
on the zylophone and the banjo last
night proved him to be a maste of those
instruments, and worthy of all the good
things that hare been said of him. He
pleased his audience immensely.
The concert was very good, though
somewhat abrieviated. Miss Romah
and Miss Dolores, soprano soloists, re
ceived merited applausa.
Robert Rowe, who is popular in Skag
way in any capacity in which he might
appear, got a good reception. He gave
a tenor solo.
Owing to the Inclemency of the
weather it has been decided not to give
the show tonight that was annouced
last night.
DAYS OF DIZZINESS
Coma to Hundreds of Alaaka P?opl?.
There are days of dizziness:
Spells of headache, sideache, back
ache:
Sometimes rheumatic pains;
Often urinary disorders,
All tell you plainly the kidneys are
sick.
Doan's Kidney Pills care all kidney
ills.
Here is Proof:
Mrs. E. Leinback, Widow,' of 3o4
Jefferson street. Olympia, Wasb., says:
"Last summer, headaches, dizzy spells,
backache and too frequent action of tbe
kidnevs together with a general run
down feeling mad'} me aware ',that my
kidneys were not properly performing
their functions. When I called several
months ago for Doan's Kidney Pills 1
was suffering the greatest misery and
could scarcely get about the house.
This one box gave me so much relief
that I followed it up with a second and
I am happy to say that the Pills effected
a complete cure, or at least, up to the
present time I have felt no symptoms of
a recurrence, an! have no reason to fear
that t'lere will be any. They are the
finest medicine I have ever known."

CAN YOU SOLVE THIS?
A Problem That Scpiiih Simple, liu<
That Will Invite OlxrtiNJilon.
IIow much pre 'i tor than three-fourths
Is four- fourths?
At first sight it seeuis nn easy ques
tion, but put It to your arithmetical
friends and you will probably flml that
It ivlll divide them Into two parties,
one contending that the answer I? one
fourth and the other as positively af
firming that It is one-third, while both
will be ready to prove the accuracy of
their respective solutions.
The party of the first part (to use a
legal phrase) may argue their point In
this way:
Five shillings Is the fourth part of a
pound. If you have 15 shillings, or
three-fourths of a pound, and some
body gives you another fourth part you
have a sovereign? ergo, your four
fourths Is one-fourth greater than
three- fourths.
But this will not suit the other party
at all, and they will proceed scornfully
to point out that the argumeut Is all
wrong, since If you have 15 shillings
and somelHxly Is generous enough to
add 5 shillings to it the donor is on
ly giving you one-third of the amount
you already possess (5 times 3 equals
15), therefore your sovereign Is only
one-tlilrd more than your 15 shillings.
It is a pretty problem, and expert
accountants have been known to wran
gle over it for hours.- I.nidou Answers.
The Way Lone Tonsrwed Ilee* Saved
A clerk In the department of agricul
ture said:
"So you think that scientific farming
Is a bluff? You demand some Illustra
tions of the good that Is accomplished
by the scientific method? Very well.
"When clover was first introduced
Into Australia it grew there beautiful
ly, but It never seeded. The soli was
all right. The climate was ail right.
What, then, was the trouble?
"A scientist studied the matter, and
this is what he found:
"He found that the native Australian
bees had tongues too short to reach
the clover's pollen forming organs.
These organs In red clover are hidden
deeply in the heart of the tubelike
petals and they can only be fertilized
by the long tongued bumblebee. If
red clover is not visited by bumble
bees, who bear the golden pollen
grains from one blossom to another. It
never seeds? It cannot be grown. The
scientist, aware of the fact, soon put
his finger on the barren Australian. clo
ver's trouble. He Imported a lot of
long tongued bumblebees. These bees
flourished, and Immediately Australian
clover, which had promised to be a
failure, became one of the country's
richest and finest crops." ? Chicago

The family name of the Stuarts was
originally, as Mr. Bayley observes,
Fltzalan. The original Walter Fltz
alan, brother of the ancestor of the
dukes of Norfolk, was lord high stew
ard of Scotland, and from this cir
cumstance his branch of the family
appears to have adopted the name of
Stewart. When the change began is
not certain, but It was probably not
later than the time of Alexander, tha
great-grandson of Walter Fltzalan, for
both his sons? James, the grandfather
of Robert II. and all the Scottish Stew
art kings, and John, the ancestor of
Lord Darnley? appear to have borne
the name of Stewart. ? Notes and
