Pistols and Pestles.
The duelling pistol now occupies its proper
place, in the museum of the collector of relics
of barbarism. The pistol ought to have beside
it the pestle that turned out pills like bullets,
to be shot like bullets at the target of the
liver. But the pestle is still in evidence, and
will be, probably, until everybody has tested
the virtuo of Ayer's sugar coated pills. They
treat the liver as a friend, not as an enemy.
Instead of driving it. they coax it. They are
compounded on the theory that the liver does
its work thoroughly and faithfully under
obstructing conditions, and if the obstructions
arr removed, tho liver will do its daily duty.
When your liver wants help, get "the pill
that will,"

A tig. JO. — The
I'ortland arrived
hare at 3 o'clock yesterday morning.
She brought back miners from the
Klondyke, but Dot so vary much Klon-
dyke treasure. She carried thirteen
miners, each of whom brought only a
small portion of his stake. The total
amount of dust on tha vessel Is per-
bapa im.ooa
The miners on board, with the
amount of their total mining profits,
parte of which were brought with
them, ara as follows: J. Rowan, |S0,-

93\000; N. W. Powers, 115,000; W. W

H. N. Stanley, who went to tit Mi-
chael's for the Associated Press, re-
turned on the Portland. Ho aays:
"I have been seven weeke at the
mouth of tha Yukon, at St Michael's,
where I saw all the miners coming
out aad interviewed them. Aa a re-
sult, I feel U my duty to advise every-
body to etay out until next spring.
Wild, and In many cases, exaggerated
reports have been circulated since the
first discoveries were made. The
strike, however, waa, and Is, one of
tha greatest. If not the greatest. In
the world's history. Probably 92,100,-
000 waa cleaned up this spring, and
next spring I look for from 95,000,000
to 97,000,000. The fields have hardly
been opened up as yet,but tboee going
on now must bear In mind that every-
thing In that region was staked long
before any reporta reached the outer
world, and that those going In now
must proepect for themselves, buy
claims from the present owners or
work for the owners
People Living la Teata.
"Aa to shelter, 80 psr cent of Daw-
son was living In tents in July, labor
Is scarce and houses eannot be built.
How are 7,000 people to withstand the
rigors of a nine months' winter of
semi-darkness, when the mercury goes
70degrees below sero?
"As to labor: It Is true that last
winter, tha winter succeeding the
great strike, men were scarce and
wages were 915 a day; but if no new
strike is made, what is to keep wages
up this winter? There are about 340
elalma on Bonanza, Eldorado and
Honker creeks that will probably be
worked this winter. An average of
eight men to each Is, I think, liberal]
If but 2,700 men are employed, and
there are 5,000 or more seeking work,
what must be the resolt? Wages most
go down.
"I am told that much 'grub' has
gone over the divide, yet from what I
know I would wager my laat dollar
that not to exceed 600 tons of supplies
over and above what the carriers ate
will reach the diggings No man going
in can arrive with more than a four
months' supply.
"1 am told that there la plenty at
St Michaels So there may be, bot
after September 15 it might as well be
In New York city, for to try to traos-
port it by dog train or sled over that
3,000 miles of icy river la absolutely
impossible. There is not, nor will
there ever be, a dog train that can
take enough In to feed itself over 1,300
miles Relief is, therefore, impossible.
Transporting over the divide in the
winter would be quite as difficult
Ma Way to Sead Belief.
"To draw provisions for the trip
from Dyea to Dawson sny time before
the spring breaks up is an impossi-
bility. Relief for those caoght in tha
Klondike after winter sets in iseqoi lly
Impossible, and in the name of hu-
manity I ask that a stop be put to
this wholesale transportation of
pie without soppliea Let no man be
allowed to enter that region unless he
carries with him enough food and
clothing to last him a year.
"There are women and little chil-
dren in there to-day who should be
sent out as far as St. Michael's before
navigation closes. I hear much of the
boats that are boilding to go up the
river, bot aside from one i
ready on Aogost 11, no new bost can
be added to the carrying corps this
fall.
Supplies Scarce at Dawson.
"I am aware that there la a popular
impression that sopplies can be booght
in sthe vicinity of the mines. They
may at present buy at six times
Seattle prfces, bot they are taken at
even those prices faster than they
be got in, aod before winter is half
over, if even the present population
stays in, there will be actual starva-
tion.
" 'Grub' was completely cleaned oot
this spring, and if last winter there
was such a scarcity that moos
sold for 950 each, floor at 9130 a hun-
dred, hacon at 91 a pound, what will
not happen this coming winter? Why,
will not peoole actually starve tc
death? *

MERRY-GO-ROUND.

as possible, until one of the players Is

At one side near the bottom is a hoop,
on which prizes such aa straw hats sad
handkerchiefs are hanging. The boys
go up to the top by a native ladder,
and slide down, endeavoring to grasp
a prise from the hoop—If they get that
far without falling. This is a very
difficult game, as the contestant has
generally slipped round to the under-
side of the pole or fallen from it before
the hoop ia reached. As their little

pole the prizes u,sappear more rapidly.
The flght rope game is the most diffi-
cult and perhaps the most dangerous
of all. Two posts about eight
feet high, sunken in the ground, sup-
port two wooden triangles on an axle,
about nine feet long. From each cor-
ner of the triangle a rope runs to the
corresponding corner ot the one at the
other end. A prise Is placed at one
end and the little Carib must mak«
way across on tbe ropes to obtain It
The slightest variation of balance or
pressure on the ropes snd the axle
revolves violently, often throwing the
contestant to the ground with moch
force. However, it is alwaya pleasing

a heavy silver spoon and a piece ot
string. Tie the string at its center
around the handle of the spoon, leav-

Now wind the ends around your two

Bend over and allow the table spoon to

the really beautiful imitation ot church
