ALASKA'S NEW- ERA.
A gentleman who has spent many
years in Alaska, starting as a pros
pector, and who is ow in this city,
makes the prediction that Alaska is
now about to enter upon a stage of
progress which will surprise its most
loyal friends. There are many reasons
to believe that thl9 prediction will be
thoroughly realized by the record of
the next few years.
At the start, as is the case in every
new country, those who went to
Alaska had no other purpose than to
make a stake as quickly as possible
and then return to their original
homes. Indeed, this was the case with
the great majority of those who came
to California In the days of the first
gold rush. Twenty years after the
gold discoveries brought the quick se>
tlement of California, It was still the
universal custom among residents of
California to speak about 'back home'
in referring to the places whence they
i came. Pew felt really attatched to the
?oil, determined to spend the remain
der of their lives in California or
somewhere on the coast. Today the
Californian is even more loyal to his
state and more enthusiastic than the
resident of almost any other state in
" the Union.
The same condition is rapidly pre
vailing lu regard to Alaska. There ar
now thousands of people who are in
the great northern territory to make
permanent homes there; who. when
they make visits to "the outside,"
speedily lose Interest in what they
are seeing and long to be back in the
northern country. There are perma
nent 'owns there now, with loyal pop
ulations. which cannot be seduced
away from them, even by the report
of great gold discoveries.
The new era In Alaska has come,
and the developments of the next few
years promise to be extraordinary.
Great amounts of capital are to be
expended in developing the resources
of the territory and in improving its
transportation facilities. \ great
share of the population v/h'ch Alaska
will receive hereafter will be of men
who go there to make It a perma
nent place of abode for themselves
and their families, believing that the
opportunities are greater there than
elsewhere. ? Seattle P. 1.
THE GRADUATE.
No more of the midnight oil (or me
of Crammer's curves or rule of three;
from mathematics I am fr<#;
the world's before me! I'm done' with
maps and slates and books, with ped
agogues of weary looks; with French
and Greek I'm done ? gadzooks, they
used to bore me! Toward the world
I turn my face; It seems to me
a bully place, and I am eager for the
race to fame and glory; but gray
beards come, with aspect wise, asd
sorrow In their brooding eyes, and till
me of. with heavy sighs, a mournful
story. They say the world is stern
and grim; the dirge more frequent
than the hymn; and hearts grow cold
and eyes grow dim, from life's en
deavor; and weariness o'erwhelms the
strong, and men's ambitions guide
them wrong; to reach the goal they
struggle long, and gain it never. They
hand me prophecies absurd; they say
that when my heart is stirred to mu
tiny by hope deferred, I'll be a-yearn
ing, to see the good old school once
more, to see the teacher at the door;
kroint! the world is all before, its
lights are burning! ? Walt Mason.

A CULINARY MASTERPIECE.
When You Go to Paris Don't Turn Up
Your Noto at Muisel*.
You will (hut lu Paris ti hidm II res
taurant Just Inside the street entrnuce
presided over by a waiter who has ap
parently been forty years of age for
the last twenty years. He has a
friendly, alert air. and anything in the
world that yon want he will promptly
provide.
You will uatu rally order some sort
of potage or something that your fan
cy suggests; but, whatever else you do.
be sure to call for mussels. 1 can see
you turuiug up your uose at this. In
America who eats mussels except at
rare times? perhaps some pickled mus
sels? They are with us In the same
category as tripe.
But behold the genius of the French!
U'heu the waiter brings In an enor
mous silver bowl with a domelike sil
ver cover and when he removes the
cover, then you forget everything in
the world except the delicious savory
suiell of the steam which rises from
the myriad shells that open lovingly
for you to extract from them the dain
ty sea flavored mussel that lurks with
in.
Mussel, did I say? No; these are not
the ordinary mussels that Americans
know. French gastronomic genius has
transformed them into uioules marl
nlere. In some deftly magical way the
French chef has Imparted a delicious
suggestion to the moules, just that in
definable, evanescent memory of gar
lic?garlic which lu the hands of the
ordinary cook Is an offensive and dead
ly weapon, but which lu the hand* of
a cook of high degree? an artist in
fact? is a means for achieving some of
the supreme triumphs of bis art.
After the moules you will have any
thing you care for? dainty slices of
galantine or sliced capou nestling amid
watercresscs aud then perhaps some
pcacbes lu a little basket where the
fruit Is infolded lu leaves from its
own tree aud rlpeued to precisely the
right turn on some ancient wall in
the sunshine of an old French garden,
then perhaps some pulled bread and
a bit of Camembert and a Cafe Maza
gran in a long glass. No one remem
bers now the battle that gave its name
to this parties. \r preparation of cof
fee, which shows that men may come
and empires may fall and armies may
be dashes into fragments upon the bat
tlefield, but the genius of cookery re
mains triumphant and its achieve
ments are never lost? Bookman.
