' J. .... TMJfl DISSOLUTE UUtt. Beetle That Has the Cigarette Hab it in Worst Form. Uomi Holes In Paper Cover and Thrives on the- (on tellU Whole looks In Stores and Pno torleai fleatrvyed. TLsre'a a now bug in town, and It has the citfarello Imbi-iii fact, it's called the "cigarette" beetle, becnuso of its foiulm'tw for the paper cigars. While cigarettes are itn farorite "dope," this bug lioim not hesitate to lunch on the dried tobacco leaf, and a a conse quence union .consternation prevails ainoug the growers, manufacturers and (tenters of the product of tobacco leaf throughout the country. Ureat loss la being suffered by the ravages of till bug, principally In manufactured lock, In making an lavestigatlon the ex perts of the department of agriculture oaewrt that among the many insect injurious to cured tobacco none ap proach, In economic Importance, the species which has become kuotmlacthe cigarette beetle. The name of thl In sect is more or lam of a misnomer, since the beetle not only feedu on all klnda of dried tobacco, and errn anuff, but also on many other abstuiice, moil a rhubarb, ginger, cayenne pi-pper, ergot, tumeric, yeast cakes, rice, flg, pre pared fish food and dried plant pre pared for the herbarium. In short. Its eating habits oonslrm the assertion that a stomach that can atand ciga rettes cam hold anything. Working a It doea in all kinds of cured tobacoo, and living In this sub stance during all stages of Its exist ence, this bug damages cigarettes and olgsrs principally by boring out of them, making round holea in the wrap pers, so that they will not "draw." Leaf tob&ooo Is injured for wrapping purposes by being punctured! with holes made by both the larvae and the beetles, and fillers and fine cut are de preciated by the reduction of their sub stance by the actual amount oonsumed by the larvae. Cigars and oigarettes infeoted by the bug harsavery distinct and disagreeable fiaror and odor. As a protection for the shop keep ers against the ravage of thla pest the government recommends the fumigation of the stock of the estab lishment with bisulphide of carbon. Where the Infection Is confined to show cases containing tobacco goods a saucerful of the carbon may be placed therein over night, which will be aufficlent tints to rid them of the beetle. When the oigarstt bug has once gained a foothold in a faotory it la a matter of considerable time, expense and energy to get rid of it, and at th aame time it is as much as the reputa tion of the faotory Is worth to allow goods to go out upon the market con taining the insect in any form. Boxes r pile of cigars or cigarettes should be displayed in stores only in tightly closed cases. This precaution Is more important during the latter part of April, Kay and late in August and September than any other time of th year. This beetle also inhabits drug store during the summer months, and feeds on many artleles on ths shelves of the herb and root character. The carbon treatment should be made for its ex termination.

MILITIA IN ALASKA. Conditions Not Wholly Bad Not withstanding Extreme Cold. on Particular., of a floldlcr'a Ufa. . Qlrea br One Who Has LWod la the Yakoa Country- The government having at last ex pended considerable sums nf money soward establishing military posts in Alaska, it is reasonable to suppose that the army must in the future look forward to regular details of service in that part of our country. As serv ice in high latitudes is new to most of us, and as the hardships of Arctio life have been aa much exaggerated, says a writer in the Army and Navy Journal, I shall presume to give my fellow-officers the benefit of a year's experience on the Yukon, with the ex pectation that it may be of use to, them. It certainly does get cold in Alaska. The thermometer for Ave consecutive, days in January registered 63, 63, (5, 63, 62, while 40 below is quite com mon, and cold weather lasts from No bember 1 to March 31. Substantial quarters have been constructed at Forts Egbert, Gibbon and Cape Nome, and the post at St. Michael wilt be built during the coming summer. An officer coming to Alaska need fear no greater hardships for himself and family than those which follow a return to the isolation of a one or two company frontier post. A well-stocked subsistence department furnishes all ' the necessaries of life, and most of the luxuries. Fresh meat has thui lar been brought in in abundance in the form of moose and caribou. Potatoes and onions freeze solid in November, and, if properly prepared, ore as ood as fresh vegetables until they thaw in the spring. All the early vegetables like radishes, lettuce, on.jns, parsley, etc., come to perfection in August. It is dry, and ordinarily stilt, though a hard wind at 40 below is not unheard of. The snow falls gradually an. inch or so at a time and never melta until the April sun and rain wear it away. In May the ground is free from snow, rains continue, gardens miy be. prepared, and about the ISth the ice in the river breaks up and floats oft t the sea. Near the end of May; steamers that have wintered in some tributary of the Yukon come up tbe river on their way to Dawson. Steam ers from St. Michael, bringing' passen gers from the states, do not come up the river until about July 1 to IS. From June to October- people re quire about the same clothing they 1 veould wear In the states. Mosquitoes abound, and window screens and mosquito bars are a necessity. ' Mail ia received, twice per month through- out the year, except in fall and spring" when ice is forming on the streams, or breaking up before navigation opens. Unless new arrangements'Ure perfect ed, second-class mail i not delivered after navigation via St. Michael closest Arrangements must be made with friends to forward envelopes of clipv pings it one desires to keep up with " the news. A telegraph line connects Skaguay with Dawson, but I received one telegram from Washington that was just a month on the way. ' As to clothing, heavy underwear Is indispensable. In addition to these garments, heavy short coots or wraps- . must be provided to put on whenever it is necessary to go out of doorr.. The government furnishes caps r.:t mittens and most excellent footgin- in the form of felt Bhoes. Ladies vi I find a fur parki the best all-nrour. I outer garment. One can be purchnae I in San Francisco for $18. The f . shoe cannot be improved upon. la ia not necessary to remain within' doors during the coldest weather, un less the wind is blowing. The or dinary routine of a post goes on with out regard to temperature, and all can tako exercise at any time with out fear of frost bites. Bring plenty of books and games for the long win ter evenings. As the quartermaster's department will doubtless construe this as service across the sens, bring all your furniture. Nothing can be obtained in the country except at pro hibitory prices. , To sum up, I would say that Alaska is no worse than Keogh or Assinni boine, and tho greatest trial will be the lack of a daily paper. When you want draying done get Slover to do it. He's always ready always reliable and his oharges aro always just right. RUSSELL Machinery aff .
