They were in an F street car, west-bound. The brune matron was radiant with satis- faction. The blonde woman locked anx- ious and worried. She soticed the others evident happiness and remarked on it. “My holiday troubles are over," said the brune, cheerily. “I came down this morn- ing, made all my purchases, and am now s home, free from further care about Christmas gifts.” , you are fortunate!” ejaculated "ve been shopping four days, and I haven't even commenced to get what 1 want. How di Ls , you contrive to get through so quickl: “The st St way in the world,” said the brune. “You know these big, modern stores keep everything anybody could pos- sibly want; so 1 determined I'd get all my holiday thirgs at Woodward & Lothrop’s. They have, you know. a-splendid system there. You can get what is called a pur- chasing card. Then you go through the store. The clerks write down everything you buy, and the price of it, on the card. and you go from one counter to another without any both about waiting for change or bundles. ‘You don't say exclaimed the blonde. “Yes, indeedy. And when you have fin- ished getting your things, you go to the purchasing card office, on the first floor, and all your bundles are there, waiting for you, and you pay for everything at once. And if you have gotten anything for send- ing to far-away friends, you can have them ked for the express. My, Belle, I never such an easy time at Chrisimas in my “Tl go right there tomorrow,” said the bide, her face lighting up. “You have certainly lifted a big load off my mind.” Rev. P. M.

Enough Vegetables Could Be Raised to Supply the Settlern—Need of an Experiment Station. Reports have been transmitted to the Speaker of tue House of the commissioners who were sent last summer to Alaska to report on its agricultural possibilities. The investigations of two of these have been previously published in ‘The Star. The pre- liminary report of Dr. Sheldon Jackson of the bureau of education to the commission- er of education on the agricultural and hor- ticultural conditions in the Yukon valley has not been published. “On the 30th of April last,” says Dr. Jackson, “I had the honor to receive through you a request from the Honorable the Secretary of Agriculture, that I should secure, during my expected tour of Alaska, such items as I could with reference to the agricultural and horticultural possibilities of the region adjacent to the Yukon river. “In compliance with that request, I beg permission to submit herewith the follow- ing preliminary report to the Honorable the Secretary of Agriculture: “Leaving Weshington on the 1st of June, I embarked at Seattle on the steamship Portland on the 12th, reaching Unalaska on the 2ist and St. Michael, sixty miles above the mouth of the Yukcn river, on the 26th. Taking passage on the river steamer P. B. Weare, we left St. Michael July 5, entering the north channel of the Yukcn delta, a distance of seventy-two miles, that same forenoon. I made a trip up the entire length of the Yuken river through Alaska — the northwest territory of Canada to aw. on (Kiondike), a distance of 1,652 I reached Dawson July 25, and after remaining there two days, left for my re- turn trip down the river, reaching St. Mi- chael August having spent nearly two months in inspecting the river. “While Alaska will never be an agricul- trral state in the same sense in which that term is understood in the Mississippi val- ley, y t has agricultural capacities much in advance of the public sentiment of the ccuntry. “At Koserefski, 328 miles from the mouth oy the river, and at Anvik, 355 miles, T fcund gariens kept by the Roman Catholic ‘sion_at the former place, end the Prot- estant Episcopal Mission at the latter place, at which were grown the following vegeta- bles: Potatoes, turnips, cauliflowers, rad- ishes, lettuce, cabbage, carrots and beets and peas. I saw potatoes about seven or eight inches long and three inches in diam- eter; turnips weighing ten pounds. In the same region the following berries were growing: Wild whortleberries, salmon ber- ries, bearberries, blueberries, blackberries, redberries, currants, beth red and black, crowberries, cranberries, raspberries, straw- berries and juniper berries. A species of red-top grass abounds the entire length of the Yukon valley, ranging from three to six feet in height. At Circle City. “At Circle City, 1322 miles from the mouth of the river, and Fort Cudahay, 1,522 miles from the mouth of the river, on the edge of the Canadian boundary, I found a few good gardens generally kept by the commercial ccmpanies. At Fort (~‘'ahay, reas, beans, beets, radishes, lettuce, cab- bage seemed to be thriving in the garden. At Circle City, lettuce, radishes, ontons, turnips and peas for early use are sowed on the r of the houses, the log cabins being covered with dirt roofs, and the warmth of the houses probably conveying heat to the soil on the roofs. Eight miles from Circle City a good garden has been established by a gentleman to supply the miners with fresh vegetables. Six miles below Circle City Mr. R. Wilson, who fur- nishes cord wood for the steamers, is ac- customed when an opening is made in the sufficiently large to let the sun reach mind to loosen the soil between the and stumps and sow turnip seed. In e marketed 3,000 pounds of turnip, re- ng 15 cents a pound for the same. “A large vegetable garden has been s- tablished on the Canadian side opposite Pawson, the capital of the Klordike mining” region. “These general observations go to show that, with the establishment of an experti- ment station and intelligent gardening, suf- ficient vegetables could be raised in the Yukon valley for home consumption.” Various Crops Grown. Mr. A. C True, director of the office of experiment stations, im his letter of trans- mittal says that various crops, grasses, vegetables, as well zs berries, are success- fully grown in different localities in Alaska, and live stock is kept in small numbers. Very little attention has been paid to pro- moting the development of agriculture there, he says, by the study of local condi- tions of soil and climate. Probably for an indefinite period the agriculture of Alaska will be subsidiary to other industries, such as mining, fisheries and others. There has been a rapid development of mining. The industries the natives depend on ar2 declining, such as sea otter hunting and the like. It is hard to sustain the native population, so that it will be impor- tant to make most of such agriculture as can be carried on in Alaska. Mr. True, therefore, recommends that the government continue its investigations and undertake experiments especially adapted to Alaskan conditions, with a view of in- troducing the best methods and best crops for that region. He believes if this is done great disappointment and loss on the part of incoming settlers will be avoided. Secretary Wilson of the Department of Agriculture sends a letter of transmittal with the reports. He hopes the appropria- tion of $15,000 for the investigations and es- lishinent of experiment stations will be de. Headquarters will probably be es- tablished at Sitka, and co-operation will be had from persons in the state, who will be induce? to raise crops under the directions of the station. ——_-e An Expert Piano Denier. There are in Washington some fifteen or more dealers in music and pianos, a few of whom are exclusively piano dealers. Among the latter there Is one who ts peculiariy suited to the piano trade, because he com- bines the experience of a musician of wide knowledge with that of a practical piano maker and seller. Mr. D. G. Pfeiffer is the one referred to, and his warerooms are lo- cated at 929 F street. Mr. Pfeiffer was elected a member of the Musical Manu- script Society of New York some four years ago, In recognition of his ability as a com- poser and pianist. The line of pianos sold by Mr. Pfeiffer includes the Hazelton piano, an instrument which enjoys the distinction of being the most expensively made piano of America and the chvice of the higher class of musi- cal people. It is not one of the popular makes because it is not kept before the public by popular means, but for fifty years it has maintained an aristocratic position of its own, undisputed even by its com- petitors. Another make of piano sold by Mr. Pfelf- fer is the widely known and always liked Vose & Sons piano of Boston, a make known wherever pianos are used and by every one who listens to them. Mr. Pfeiffer pavs personal attention to the details of his growing business, and the results are satisfying to every patron, whether it is the purchase of an expensive instrument or the tuning of a piano. Prices are low, terms are easy and satisfaction is assured when dealing with him. > : Accident to a Wheelman. Franklin T. Howe, jr., living on Philadel- pEia street between 12th and 13th streets, Brookland, met with a painful accident in that suburb last evening. He was coming down i2th street and at the crossing of Fort street he took his foot from the pedal, when just then the wheel struck a cobble stone and Mr. Howe was thrown headlong to the ground. He was stunned by the fali, but soon recovered consciousness and was taken to O'Donnell’s drug store, where his injuries, which consisted of bruises about Lis face and a badly cut lip, caused by his teeth being forced through, were dressed by Dr. Williams. He was then taken to the home of his parents, where a further ex- amination was made by Dr. J. $8.88 $8.88 $8.88 $8.88 $8.88 $8.88 $8.88 S.
