By the latest advices from the Klon dike It would seem that if starvation is staring the miners In the face thev have not discovered It. The latest let ters to the Call give a graphic- descrip tion of the life at Dawson City It seems to be strikingly similar to that depleted by Kiu liurte In his earlier manner. -The olden days, the golden days, the days of MO" so cunningly de pleted by Ilarte before he went to Loudon and lost the cunning of his pen, seem to have found a replica at Klondike. Tales are told of a certain Swiftwater Hill who Is not unlike the John Oakhurst of Mret Harre's stories. Swiftwater Bill Is apparently the kind of a gambler who always want? to play without limit, and, according tc the Klondike stories, lie grew disgiKt ed at the skinflint faro-banks in Daw son City, and started one of his own in order that there might be no limit 11c- came out twenty thousand dollars winner hi a single evening, and tlijn sold his faro-bank for ten thousand dol lars. One of Swiftwater Bill's pecu liarities is the wearing of diamond rings on all the lingers of both hand, and he Is snid,to offer fabulous Minis for every diamond that' reaches Daw son City. ; One of the rivals of Swiftwater Bill Is "Antonio, the Italian prince," who is apparently the Barney Barnato of the Klondike. The Italian prince pays Ids housekeeper five hundred dollars a week pin-money, and she holds a written contract for forty thousand dol lars' nnnual stipend. The prince's housekeeper Is called Miss Violet Ray mond, and she has a fad of her own, like that of Swiftwater Bill for dia monds. Miss Raymond has bought up all the silks and satins In Dawson City, vestured In which, arrayed like one of Solomon's lilies, she flaunts along the Dawson boulevards, to the envy of the other Klondike ladles, who, although they have gold galore, can purchase neither silks nor satins, for the reason that Miss Raymond has them all. An tonio, the Italian prince, Is said to own. three claims on El Dorado Creek and two claims on Bonanza Creek, and the rumor runs that his claims are made up of half gravel and half coarse gold. Altogether the humors of the Klon dike would furnish rich material for a latter-day Bret Ilarte. It Is true that Joaquin Miller Is on the ground, but It Is also true that the latter manner of Miller Is nothing like the earlier man ner of Ilarte. Sau Francisco Argonaut.

In the life of Whlttier It Is told how In the days of the civil war an old Quaker from the New Hampshire hills came down for an Interview with the good poet. The Green Mountain disci ple of Fox was the owner of a sturdy lot of oak trees. The government had set Its eye upon them and wanted to buy thenr.' ' The Quaker knew that the purpose of the bargain uiust be to get the timber for the new warships that were build ing. He hardly knew a sale for such a purpose was consistent with the gospel of peace. Whlttier, either seeing that the man's mind was pretty thoroughly made up to the bargain, or else considering that there was such a thing as pushing a good creed too far, would only say: "Well, friend, If thee dost sell any timber to the United States, be sure that it Is all sound." The oak from the Quaker's fnrm was In the Kearsarge when she fought the Alabama to the finish. All Eastern Syrnp, so-called, nanally very light colored and of heavy budy, is mtide. from gluei'Se.

Recent French experiments have de veloped the onrious and unexpected fact that certain persons possess a magnetic polarity that is, they aot as magnets, having north and south poles. Suoh a person, when completely undressed nnd placed near a sensitive galvanome ter, will, when turned on a vertical axis, cause a deflection first in one di rection nnd then in the opposite, just as a magnet would. All persons do not possess this polarity. Professor Mu rani.an Italian, upon whom' the experi ment was tried, exhibited this phenom enon, and it is was found that his breast corresponded to a north pole and his back to a south pole.
