FIRES ON STEAMSHIPS. The recent serious fire on the ‘steam- ship Carmania while tied at her dock on the other side of the water, which caused the calling out of a large part f the fire department to ;check its progress, gives cause for the consider- ation of reducing the lability of fire while the steamships are being investi- ted.

Young men from all parts of the land went to him to learn wisdom. from him, and he said so many pleasant things, and said them in so. delightful a way, that no one ever grew tired of listening to him. One summer he built himself a house, but it was so small that his neighbors wondered how he could be content with it. .“What is the reason,” said they, “that you, who are so great a man, should build such a little box as this for your dwelling house?" “Indeel, there may be little reason,” sald he, “but, small as the piace is, T shall think myself happy if I can fill even it with true friends.” HAROLD VARS, Age 12.

Dear Uncle Jed: Alaska is a terri- tory in the extreme northwest tion of North America. It was discovered by the Russians in 1741 under Behring, and was under the possession of the Russians until 1867, when the United States purchas- ed it from them for $7,200,000. Alaska has very large and rich for- ests of pine, spruce, fir and cedar. ‘These forests are located on the moun- teins on the east and west sides of the Yukon river. They emerge from the snow line down the mountains and into the valley of the Yukom, where there are cereals and grain grown, scme; but not to any great extent, as it is so cold. In the mountains valuable minerals have been found, such as gold, coal, 2nd copper. The coal is not of a very good kind, and it is used by the smail steamers that go from port to port in Alaska. The gold mines are of great import- ance, The first mining camp was at Douglas island, where the gold was the best, but since then large and beautiful por- important city, which has since then been made the capital. Many furs are taken from here, such as the fox, sea otter, bear, seal and walrus, The fur seal is the most im- portant animal as their hides are very ood for making coats and other arti- cles, The salmon and other kinds of fish abound on the shores and rivers.
