Th Yukon I Navloable Fdr i 8tretoh of Over 2,109 Mllei. Dismiss from your mind any notion that the Yukon river Is a puny stream fed by eternal glaciers and trickling away to the sea. It is a river so mighty that It can spread out over a width of sixty miles on the Yukon Huts and still have depth enough In the main channel to flout honvily laden freight steamers. From Its mouth (near SC Michael) nt the Bering sea It is navigable all the way to White Horse, in tho Yukon territory of Can ada, an unbroken stretch of over 2,100 miles two-thirds of tho distance from New York to San Francisco. Add to this tho navigable water of its trlbu-tarlefl-370 miles on the Innoko river, 320 on the Iditarod, 020 on tho Koyu- kuk and 802 miles on the Tanann and j'ou will begin to have a fair idea of what a big river we hnvo In our great empire beneath tho Northern Lights. Tho valley drained by this wonderful river system of the north is the hope of Alaska. The wealth of the past and of today haseomo from mines and fisheries, and the lifetime of all mining regions is briefer even than human life. It has been only a few years, you remember, slnco the Klondike wns the most active mining camp In the world. Today If Is a valley long since deserted by the Individual miner and turned over to two big dredging com panies, which work the low grade tail ings. And these also must shortly pass.

' "Otter hunts are fashionable in Eng land," said the manicurist, "and I call that n sensible kind of bunt Look at the otter skins the girls can collect and otter coats so fashionable now tool . "I wouldn't' mind collecting an otter coat myself. But bow would you like to belong to a sable hunt, girls, and collect a sable coat? "A customer of mine, though, a fur dealer, told me I. wouldn't' know a sable if I saw one. t thought, o'f course; they'd bo soft, fluffy little fel lows, but ho says they have a hldo as flat as a rat's. He says that when the skins are taken from the animals they are so hard that they are placed In a tub and a barefooted man steps In and begins to tread on them to soft en them. The tub Is tilted so that at each step the" man takes the skins slide down the slope and are" kept moving. Tho man treads for hours and hours before any pile appears!' When it begins to rise the skins are oiled and the treading begins again. This Is continued until the skins are as supple as'chaniols and the pHe baa become sd 'high that tho fur has that soft depttf and' beautiful rich' 'gloss which wo see In Fifth avenue.

Why' 6rie of fhem Ignored Executive Officer Dewey's Commands. lh bis autobiography George Dew ey, tne noro or Manila bay, records that Farrugufs methods were always simple. There was a saying that his principal place for flllng papers was his coat pocket Gcperally ho wrote his orders himself, perhaps with his Kneo or uio ship s rail as a rest The author recalls that one day when he was writing ho looked up and said: "Now, how In the devil do you spell Appaiacuicoia? Some of these edu- catcd young fellows from Annnpolls must know." Tho author continues: "A man who had such an Important command could hardly havo been more democratic. Ono night I had given or ders for a thorough cleaning of the ship the next morning. I was awake very early, for It was Btlfllngly hot Flvo o'clock enme, and I heard no sound of the holystones on the deck, so I went above to And out why my orders were not obeyed, and my frame of mind for the moment was entirely that of the disciplinarian. There was no activity at nll on deck. I looked around for the officer of the deck. He wns an old New England whaler, brown as n buccaneer, who had enlist ed for the war from the merchant serv ice. I recollect that he wore small gold rings in his ears, a custom with some of the old fashioned merchnnt tailors who had traveled the world over. I found him seated up in the hammock netting, where It was cool, with Farragut at his side. "Why aren't you cleaning ship?' I asked. "'I think I am to blame said Far nyrut. with his pleasant smile. 'We, two 'veterans have been swapping yarns about sailing ship days.' "Tho old whaler did not see how he could leave Farragut when Farragut wanted to talk, and Inwardly perhaps ho did not fall to enjoy his position as superior to the young executive offi cer's reprimands." mi.

Twin brothers who have been called up for service in a Paris regiment are so alike that it Is Impossible to distin guish between them. The other day one was con lined to barracks, and by changing his cap, with its regimental number, for that of his brother he was able to pass the guard whenever be wished to go out Tho colonel has now Issued the following order to obviate such tricks: "The soldier bohbomine (cvuu number) wilt wear his hair as long as the regulations, construed with the utmost leniency, will allow and will shavo his beard and mustache. The soldier bonhomme (odd number) will allow his beard nnd mustache to grow full and will have bis hair regu larly cut as closely us possible by tho regimental barber." Londou Mall. ' EARLY QUAKERESSES. Mary Fisher the First to Be Publlcl Flogged In England. No feature of the early Quaker move ment was so surprising to contempo rary historians as tho prominent part taken by women of all classes and po sitions In spreading Its message. "They were not a whit behind tho men," remarks one seventeenth cen tury chronicler, "In courage or in con tempt to material obstacles, imitating them, not out of a womanly precipi tancy and boldness, but' upon a de terminate advice changing, as It were, their sex and being transmut ed from women to men." A staid matron named Elizabeth nooton .was .the first to be "convinced" by Fox's teaching and became In the year 1649 the first woman preacher among the Quakers. Ann Downer, the young daughter of a clergyman, car ried the message to London, gathering round her' tho nucleus of that Society of City Friends which grew to be the model and rallying ground for other towns and nations. Margaret the wife of Judge Fell, was tho "nursing mother" of tho Infant church the con ter of all 'its activities, the helper and tho ultimate appeal in all its distresses. Mary Fisher, a servant girl from Yorkshire, heads the long list of heroic sufferers in England who were public ly flogged for their religion. She, too. with an older woman, was tho pioneer who brought the Friends' doctrine to New England In 1650 and tasted tho first fruits of the persecution which was meted out to her fellow believers, even to tho extremes of mutilation and death, by those who were themselves the survivors of the Mnyflower.
