Antipyreno used to sell for $2.40 a pound at wholesale; now the drug gist who wants it pays $38.00 a pound if he can get any. True oil of winter- green has moved from 28 cents an ounce to 59 cents an ounce. Coal tar products are all soaring like "war stocks, and are fast becom ing extinct as well. The United States government is conducting cost ly experiments to find substitutes for the different coal tar products used in commercial and manufacturing in dustries. Most of our dye stuffs are based on these products, as well as many different drugs used In every day medicine. Incidentally red ink headlines in the papers, and "holly green borders'" on Christmas cards are among the things that the advance in coal tar products have hit the hard est. Formaldehyde, used extensively as a disinfectant and germicide, and also as a preservative when the pure-food inspectors aren't looking, has jumped nearly 25 percent in cost, and the stock is almost exhausted. Chemical apparatus for use in man ufacturing drugs, enamelled ware for hospitals and surgical instruments have all taken the upward shoot, pric es averaging about 50 to 200 percent higher. And as for photographic chemicals well, just drop in and nsk any photographer why he has quit selling a dozen pictures for a dollar as a special I hristinas bargain. All of which goes to show that Gen eral Sherman was quite correct in his estimate of war; and also goes to show that the democratic party isn't us bad as its republican enemies paint it. MANHATTAN ISLAND. It Was Once Spot Apart From the Island of Manhattan. The Magazine of American History bus called atteutlon to a distinction la New York nomenclature that, despite the authority It quotes, "every Man buttuuese'' does not know. The niuga zlne cites the following footnote to "The Spy," by James Fenimore Coopei and then comments on it: "Every Mauhattauese knows the dif ference between Manhattan Island and the Island of Manhattan. The first applied to a small district in the vlein ity of Corleur's Hook, while the last embraces the whole island, or the city and county of New York as It Is term ed in the laws. "In other words, the latter Is the present borough of Manhattan. Man battau Island was a knoll along the old water front of the East river about un acre in extent surrounded by creeks and salt marsh aud made an island by the tide. Near it was Henry Eckford shipyard, an ancient laudmark. It may be identified ou General Egbert 1 Vlele's map of the water courses. "In the reticulation of the, present streets it lay between Itlvlngton and Houston. Sheriff and Canuou streets, Columbia and Stanton streets intersec ou what was about the center of the island. Just north of It was one of th tidal mouths of a stream that arose near First avenue on Sixth street. flowed through Tompkins squaro and reached the river between Manhuttnn Island and Burnt Mill or Brundu Mil mil) Point, about Third and .

Alaska Is the most misunderstood and misrepresented section of the Unit ed States, People generally, aud sin cerely, believe that the name Alaska is synonymous with suow and Ice and couple it accordingly with ice cream freezers and cold drinks. Yet the prlu clpnl cities of Alaska along its south ern coast line Juueau, Ketchikan, Cor dova, Vnldez and Seward do not av em ge as cold In midwinter as New Voile aud are seldom as cold as Balti more and Washington during cold waves. Alaska Is one-fifth the size of the whole United States, and its prodigious area of about 000,000 square miles nearly three times the size of the Ger man empire, spreads from the temper ate zone to the arctic circle. Not one- quarter of it is in the latter. Below the circle lies a magnificent belt of fertile soil. It Is estimated by government au thorities that the agricultural area of Alaska's fertile valleys and plains, on many of which cattle can be wintered without feeding, aggregate 30.000 square miles, with a climate like that of northern Europe Norway, Finland aud Sweden. This land Is richer aud more productive thnu that of any oth er country in the world, well watered, fairly well timbered, and 320 acres are open free to. the settler If he wishes to tuke up a homestead.

Canada peas are ex pensive, but seem to he essential to the best results, especially during the breeding season, and apparently take the place of green feed to some ex tent. Green feed, such as cut clover, alfalfa and grass, lettuce and plantain leaves, may be fed to advantage, but is not absolutely essential. A variety of good, hard grains is essential to success, and grains which are in poor condition should not be fed. Old grains which are hard are better than new soft grains, especially for Igoons with squabs, lied wheat is considered better than white wheat by many pigeon breeders. Good wheat screenings are often fed with success, as they usually contain a variety of seeds. Various stimulating seeds, such lentils and vetch, are sometimes fed as a tonic to breeding birds during io molting period. The grain may be fed on the floor of the pen In troughs or kept before the birds In hoppers. It Is not generally considered advisable to feed the grain on the ground, especially on heavy soil here it may get wet and moldy. Un less the floor is kept clean It is better, o feed the grain In troughs than on the floor. The troughs should bo made so that the pigeons will not roost on them nd soil the feed with their droppings. Hoppers are used with good success, but may attract rats lu some pigeon ouses. They should be litted with Ires or nails about two inches apart so that the pigeons cannot waste the ed by throwing It out on to the floor. the grain is not fed In hoppers the pigeons should be fed twice dally in tile morning and In the afternoon at regular hours, giving from one and one half to two quarts of grain at each meal to twenty pairs of pigeons and adding an extra pint If the pigeons have many squabs, As pigeons feed their squuhs on their own pigeon milk for ten days, 11 Is important that they get plenty of grain during this time. The feeder must regulate the quantity of grain according to the appetite of the birds, giving them all they will clean up Iu one to two hours. The cost of feeding a pair of pigeons varies from $1 to $1.00 n year ut the present price of grain. Clear drinking water, grit, broken oyster shell and charcoal should be kept before the pigeons all the time. Salt Is fed to pigeons In various forms, and a supply of this material is gener ally considered essential. Pigeons not accustomed to eating line salt are apt to eat too much if given n large quan tity at one time, although tine suit is used with good success by many care ful feeders. Salt may be fed in a lump form, such as rock salt or as line salt moistened and baked into n hard lump, without danger of the pigeons eating too much. Salt may also k-e fed mixed with grit, charcoal and oyster shell. This Old Earth of Ours Has Had More Than One Ice Age. Every one with intelligent Interest in the history of the world ou which he lives has heard of "the glacial epoch," or the ice uge. The inhabitants of the northern portion of the United States have no doubt a general understanding that tGe gravel hills and ridges and the huge bowlders with which they are fa miliar are due to au irresistible inva sion from Canada by "the great ice sheet" at a date Just preceding thnt whicli geologists term "recent," yet many thousands of years ago. It is, however, not strictly correct to speak of the "Ice age" or the "glacial epoch," for there have been many of them. It is now known that even this latest or pleistocene glacial epoch bus several important divisions, and in the Rocky mountain region it appears that important changes In the form and height of the mountains, due to a wear ing down by erosion, took place be tweeu the glacial subopochs. More than fifty years ago it was rec ognized by English geologists thnt cer tain masses of gravel and breccia and certain planed and grooved rock sur faces lu rocks of Permian age in India Indicated a glacial epoch vastly older than that of the Canadian ice sheets, but It is only within the last thirty years that geologists have learned that glacial conditions have recurred at muiiy different times lu the earth's his tory. The evidence of this has been found in all continents in Europe, Af rica, Asia, Australia, South und North America. The formation of great ice sheets took place at different periods in the larger divisions of geologic time back to the proterozolc thut Is, to the age of the oldest known sedimentary rocks, a great many million years ago. Glass Razor Strop. "The best razor strop I ever hud was a piece of glass," said the boss barber, as he sharpened the razor with a pull In it. "An old barber gave It to me, aud I tell you it worked line. Uu fortunately I let It. fall und broke It, and I have never been able to get one like It. There's some kink In the grinding which I can't seem to figure out. In these days a good razor strop Is a mighty hard thing to find, and 1 would give a good deal if I could only get that piece of ground glass back again. It sure did put a cutting edge on the razor."

It is not a question ol climbing above poverty; it is a question of under standing life. So many of us have been lured away and fascinated by what turn out to be phantoms and false gods. We have had to wheel back and begin over again and fight along against tremendous odds, and yet with all that life can be made a success, for success consists in doing right, in doing the best you can with what you have. Fight until the end. Times Have Changed. Flo, aged ten. paying a visit to Aunt Edith, was describing a birthday party she hud attended the day before.
