roar and the skylight and root ol the
cabin were lifted off by an explosion of
the gases that had formed in the room
aft. A moment later the whole ship
was a mass of llames, and a we pulled
away the mainmast fell. A few min
utes later there was a sudden roll, and
the ship went down.

in that boat. A ' ..ut noon of the sec
ond day we saw land and that evening
we landed on the little island of Tl Pin

Of its entire grant, the Northern Pa
ciflo has now received 21,718,268
acres, and 14,851,882 acres are still
no.
At the department now considers that
it hat no authority to expect payment
(or sheepgraslug privileges on tha forest
reserve, the commissioner rooom
mendi that congress authorise tha sec
retary to make a reasonable charge for
such grating, tint grating to la) O0D
fined to open areas. It it recommended
that from 8 to 10 oontt per head for
cattle, and 1 to 2 oentt per bead fog
abeep be charged In the Oascado re
torve, and at the rate of $8 per thous
and in Rainier reserve in Washington.
He argues tint so long as the mlllmea
and lumber dealers pay a fair price (or
timber tupplies drawn Irom publio
lands, them should be an oqoal charge
levied upon the gracing products o(
inch lands, and hopes that legislation
to this effect will be early enacted.
when id.- aanlntlsnl survey ha ex
tended IU surveys over the reserves,
and the lands more valuable for agri
cultural than for forest purpose navo
been segregated, the commissioner
thinks a better dltpoaition can be made
for the exclusion o( sheep from the re
serves, and it it shall be hold that no
sheep shall graxe on any reserve, the
agricultural or gracing lands should
first be eliminated entirely from the re
serve.
Anions other things the commit-
tloner recommends legislation permit
ting lands within lorvst reserves to
rented or leased for any purpose not
lnoompatibla with the purposes for
which tha reservations are created.
He also desires legitlstlon permitting
the entry o( lands within the reserva
tions more valuable (or coal than (or
forest uses. A large force to push
more rapidly the wirk ot examining
ihe remaining unresatved forest I and
is asked for, which could be secured
for $800,000, and $1S0,000 is asked for
additional special agents.
Other reooinmandationt are for the
compulsory attendauco cf witnesses at
land hearings; to prevent the mining
and sale of coal during the lifetime of
a coal declaratory statement, or until
full payment it made for the land; for
changing and enlarging tha Mount

"A national custom, dear so tho

This honored observance acquires
with time a tenderer significance. It
enriches domestic life; it summons un

to glad reunion with those they love.
Seldom as this nation had greater cause
for profound thanksgiving. No great
pestilence haa invaded our ahore; lib

abundant crops have rewarded the
efforta of the husbandman. Increased
comforts have come to the home. The
national finanoes have been sustained
and made firmer. In all branchea ol
industry and trade there has been an
unequaled degree ol prosperity, while
there has been a steady gain in the
moral and educational growth ol our
national character. Chnrches and
school have flourished. American pa
triotism hat been exalted. Those en
gaged in maintaining the honor ol the
flag with such signal success have
been, in a large degree, spared Irom
disaster and disease. An honorable
peace haa been ratified with ft foreign
nation with which we were at war, and
we are now at iriendly relations with
every power on earth.
"The trust which we have assumed
for the benefit of the people of Cub
haa falthlully advanced. There is
marked progress toward the restoration
ol healthy Industrial conditions, and
under wise sanitary regulations the
island has enjoyed unusual exemption
from the seuurge ol lever, ine Hurri

1 Now Ii, u. I of tha House.
New York, Oct. 28. The provisions
of the will of the late Cornelius Van
derbilt were made public touight In a
statement by Chauncey M. Depew.
Alfred Owynne Vanderbilt inherits the
larger portion of his father's fortune
and becomes practically the head ol the
Vanderbilt lamily. The will makes no
mention of the marriage of Cornelius
Vanderbilt, jr., and Miss Wilson, nor
to any quarrel between father and son
' ecanse of the nnion, but apparently
c (ather't displeasure wat visited
upon the eldest son, he receiving, all
told, under the terms o( the will, but
$1,800,000, and $1,000,000 o( this to
be held in trust by the executors. Al
fred Gwynne Vanderbilt is, of course,
the residuary legatee, and will possess
ft fortune of probably $40,000,000 to
$80,000,000. Gladys, Kegluald and
Gertrude (Mrs. Harry Payne Whitney)
will receive about $7,800,000 each.
But Mr. Depew states that Alfred will
give from hi share enough to Cornelius
to make the latter as rich as his brother
and sisters. Alfred will, therfore, turn
over to Cornelius about $6,000,000.

I It Malaria or AlumT
Languor, loss ol appetite, indigestion
and often feverishnesa are the com
mon symptoms of a physiological con
dition termed "malaria." All these
symptoms may be and frequently are
the effect ol the use ol alum baking
powders in food making. There is no
question about the poisonous effect ol
alum upon the system. It obstructs
digestion, prostrates the nerves, coagu
lates and devitalises the blood. All
this has been made clear, thanks to
physicians, boards of health, and food
commissions. So "highly injurious to
the health ol the community" does
the eminent head of the University ol
Pennsylvania, Dr. Hurler, consider the
alum baking powders, that he says
"their sale should be prohibited by
law."
Under these circumstances it is
worth the while ol every housewife to
employ the very little care that is
necessary to keep so dangerous an ele
ment from the food of her family.
A pure cream of tartar baking pow
der, which is the only kind that should
be used, ought to cost about forty-five
to fifty cents a pound. Therefore, if
you are paying much less, something
is wrong; if yon are paying twenty-five
cents or less per pound, the powder
is certainly made from alum.
Always bear these simple facts in
mind when purchasing baking powder.
