Americans who are disposed to seek their fortunes in South Africa are finding that to gain entrance to the British possessions in that part of the world is no easy matter since peace was proclaimed. Hundreds of citizens of the United States have applied at the South African permit office in Victoria stree t for permis- sion to go to Johannesbur g and oth- er towns in the anterior, and a large number of them have been refused. ]. Printed regulations regarding this matter have been issued. One pf them stipulates that the applicant for a permi t must have at least £100 in his possession or prove that ^he is in a position to maintain him- \eelf on airlval in South Africa. He must prove also that the object of ,his journey is definite and bona fide. [- All Americans who have made ap- plication have ha d to be passed upon by the 'American embassy in London, and unless the latter recommends them they stan d no chance of get- tin g a permit. , ,}. The British government purposes to keep paupers out of the country. 'Prospecting' miners also are not con- sidered desirable. ^i by any chance any person' reaches a South African port with- out a government permi t he is apt to be deported by the next steamer. EXH.0EO& ALASKA. Remote Parts of Country Visited by Officials of Government- Membeis of Geological Survey Sue* cced in Penetrating' Hitherto Unlcnort'n Heltons—The Route Covered. Regions in Alaska hitherto almost tink^nvn are being' explored this summer by officers of the geological survey. The survey has received a letter from Geologist A. H. Brooks, dated at Kaoratn o river, reporting thr t he has found gTavel at an alti- tude of from 1,000 to 1,200 feet on the flank of the mountain.-., while other evidences of glacial actio n wer e found at an eltuattun ul iJ.uuu feet above sea level. The bedrock in these places is ig- neous, carries some quart/: veins, an d is supposed to be gold bearing. Mr. 1W'<»<>]{:•. is at present leadiivx an exploring }mrt,\ vndch siu.t.ed late in JIa,\ near the head of I'unk's inlet, on the southern coast, to ex- plore the unknown region of the western Alaska rau«*e and to reach Circle City, on the uppe r Yukon, be- fore the arrival of cold weather. The distance is about 600 miles, lir of which had been traversed at the date of the letter. The route taken from Cook's inlet was northward, partly along the beach and partly by Indian trail parallel to the shore of the inlet. Beluga river, a formidable stream over which it was necessary to carry the horses by mean s of boats, WAS successfully crossed. Thence north- ward, a well-forested foothill region with abundance of grass was trav- ersed to Skwentna river, which was crossed with difficulty, owing to its low temperature and rapid current. A portio n of the outfit was then sent by boat to the Kachatn o river, while the rest of the part y went overland to mee t it through a regio n of extensive swamps, where it was necessary to cut the trail for nearly 30 miles. During this part of the trip the horses, though blanketed day and night, are reported to have been so severely bitten by horse flies and mosquitoes that it was expected that some of them would have to be shot. From Kachatno river the route lies across the Alaska range, partly ijy the trai l used by Capt. Herron in 1899, thence to the Tanana river, and northward to Circle City. If the sea- son is found to be too far advanced on reaching the Tanana, the river will be descended to the Yukon, and passage will be taken on one of the boats going down the latter river. In spite of the difficulties of travel experienced to this point, the party IB Teportsd to be in excellent health and spirits.

Thiis is the first of the season and the clearest I remember i n several years. \ TRACING GREAT WATERSHED? HILL'S DRUG STORE; ^XM»KW*Ail««M><>«tflft^^kM ' Peter Henderson some years ago called attention to the use of the feet in planting vegetable seed in 'dry weather. If small seeds\ are sown and loosely covered with dry earth, they often fail to germinate, or, just after genhinatioh, they lie and per- ish. If. however, the earth is com- pressed abOMt the seed at the time of planting, such dying does not oc- cur, and the seeds germinate well, even when tlte ground is very dry. T o be sure, if the ground is full of moisture, this method would not be followed, | Tho present season* at the time for early planting- of sweet corn, the ground was very dry. |The persons who planted \the corn- wer e directed to preas the earth hard over each hill with the hoe. One fo lowed direc- tions, the other did not jdo so. Prac- tically all the corn which one planted came up, and but little; of what the other planted. At the time for sowing clove r seed the ground is often very dry. In such cases we sow in drills, and com- press each drill securely with the feet, with uniform success. A little judgment used in planting in dry seasons will save much an- noyance and loss.—G. Q. Groff, in N. Y. Tribune. Mr..

The Famous Clairvoyant Physician Talks of His Methods and the Practice asilt Was Forty Years Ago. The practice ol medicine forty years ago consisted of a pair of saddle- bags filled with tin boxes containing salomel, pink and senn a and a lancet. They tried in their routine all the remedies mentioned above an d as a fin- al effort used the lancet to bleed the poor victim. There was no way of getting at a correct diagnosis. They are yet i n the dark, and have found no aure way to base an opinion on the cause and nature of a disease. The old ways are entirely wiped out and in their places have come all the electrical appliances, the X-ray, also the microscope, giving a better in- sight of the cause an d nature of wha t they have to treat. Br. BuEterneld nas established the power and trtith of spiritual insight an d has diagnosed thousands of cases an d cured them. There is no gain- saying the truth of clairvoyancy, by its power he has restored thousands of people who were considered incurable. Hr s great work has been to educate peoplehow to take care of themselves, an d t6 keep from being sick, infus- ing into his patients a better hope and a more cheerful view of life. He is very successful in treating in- flammation of the stomach, enlarge- ment of the liver, weaknesses in the kidney s and bladder, also chronic troubles of urinary an d generative or- gans, paralysis, rheumati c troubles, in. fact all forms of chronic diseases.
