How our Navy t'seil to HboiM. i The prolii'iunoy of American gunnery I fit this war is perhaps best illustrated by the Constitution's lirst action, with j the (iuerritiro, In which she was hulled I but three, times, while, her antagonist, i to use tlio words of her commander, was reduced to a "perfect wreck" with iii forty minutes from the time the Con stilullon betron to tire. This battle oc curred on August ID, 1811 In lior action with the Java. Decent iM'r 19, off tho coast of Uruzil, the Constitution was hulled but four times, nnd with tbo exception of her ttiniutnp sail yard she did not lose a spar. Tlio Java, on the other hand, was "totally dismasted," while her hulk wns so l shuttered and pierced with shot-holes i thut it wits Impossible to fiut her to Ilia t harbor of Sun Salvador, which was only I few hours' sail. In her action with tho Cynno nnd f Levant tlio forces opposed wore: Cou- stltullon, 61 guns with 1W7 pounds of motal; Ilritisli, AS cutis with lo08 pounds of metal. In this extraordinary action tho Constitution was hulled only thirteen times, while tho Cyane. bad every braco nnd bowllno cut away, "ber main nud misexen musts left in n tottering Htnte, nnd other principal soars wounded, several shot 111 tho hull, n I nn or ten botwoon wind and water." The Lovaut also wns roughly handled. Before dismissing tho subject of gun nery wo should take into considera tion: 1. Tho Inferior quality of Amer ican cannon nnd shot. 2. Tho doil cionoy In woiglit of American shot. 8. The fuel that in two of tho four actions between tlnglo frigates the Kngllsh used French cannon and shot, which were eight per cent, heavier than their nominal Kngllsh equivalents. Vctitury. The Newspapers of tlm United States. Nine yoara ngo tho tenth consus In eluded an enumeration of tho news papers published In all the status nnd territories In 1880. Tho total number of periodicals then roglstored was 11,. 814, of which 971 were published daily. Tbo enumeration of Kowoll' Newspa per Directory was less complete than that of Mr, North for tlio consus. Kowoll, In bis edition of 1880, cavo 9,723 periodicals, nud 8ti dailies. That is to say. tho figures of tho consus were more than 10 per oont. over Howell's llgnros for the total of publications, and more than ,15 per cent, over ltowcll for tho number of dailies. This year Rowoll's Dlrcoiory men tions not less than 18,819 papers print ed In tlio United States, including 1,491 dallies. If tho dollcieneius of Ids enu meration count in the same proportion ns thoy did in 1880, as compared with I'rof. North's aiiumeration for the last consus, the number of periodicals issued In tho United Stales to-day is not far from 19,01)0, and tho number of dtlly newspapers not fur from 1,700. TO SPONTANEOUS COMBUSTION. Substances That Am Mnbla to Cans Fir In llulldlnaja. All lubatances that lira liable to take Are ontanuouNly do so mora readily when oovorod up so nn to oonflno the heat generated or whou mbjuoted to artlllclul hent, ollbor from atonin or hot-air tluoi or that of tbo lun. Oily rags are liable to burn spontaneously, ud are doubtless ofton tho cause of Urns In fiiotorlos, junk shops, or pnpar mills, which are supposed to be of In oeudlnry origin. Canvas whan painted with oil paint and rolled up or packed closely in a oonlliiod place Is pretty sure to burn. Ordinary oiled clothing, uoli as Is worn by sailors, when plied In heaps on shelves or elsewhere. Is very subject lo spontaneous Ignition. Such goods should alwars bo hung up. so as to admit of a free circulation of air around them. Spont tun-bark will Ignite spontaneously whan stacked up In heaps. It Is for this reason often used in white lead works to generate carbon dioxido by lis fermenting In the corroding bed. Tho moistening of such fibrous sub stances as cotton, hair, or wool is al ways attended with slight boat. Wet Iron tilings generate hunt rapidly, ?ns does also rusting Iron. Very lino frag ments of iron and steel, by their rapid oxidation, will become rod-hot, and some Kngllsh scientists declare thut the Ures known to be caused by steam pies constantly In contact with wood orig inate from the rust of the iron. An Kn gllsh authority suys: "When oxide o"f iron Is placed In contact with wood excluded front the atmosphere, and abled by a slightly In ereased temperature, the oxide purls with Its oxygon, and is converted Into tlnely divided particles of metullio iron having such an ulllnity for oxygen that, when afterwards exposed to tho action of the atmosphere from any cause, oxy gen is absorbed so rapidly that these particlos become red-hot, and if in suf ficient quantity will produce a temper ature fur beyond the ignitnblo point of dry tlmlxT. Whenever Iron pipes are employed for tho circulation of any hauled medium (whether hot water, hot air, or steam), and wherever the pipes are allowed to become rusty and are also in close contact with wood. It Is only necessary to suppose (lint under these circumstances the uncly Utvnleu particles of metullio Iron become ex posed to the action of the atmosphere (and this may occur from the mere ex pansion or contraction of tho piiKis) in order to account for many of the tires which periodically tuko iilnco at tho commencement of tho whiter sea son." It Is difllcult to tret ncrsons to believe that there is any danger from lire aris ing from the contact of steam tiius with wood, notwithstanding that there have ts,"; weil-aiuwua cases of ures origin ating from this cause. Iron scraps or llliugs, or little chips, always found on the floors of machine shops, and usually mere or less oily, are liable to boat if they become rusty, and particularly so when saw-dust 'is used, as U often tho case in Ixilt works. There is an instance ou record where a lurge machine shop was flooded by a sudden freshet, welting the heaps of iron filings ou tho floor, which became healed immediately after the water bad sulwidod. Toronto Monetary Timet The Cook roach. Comparatively few peoplo know that this familiar of the kitchen Is not by any means a native of these climes, it is nn Importation from the warm and sunny lauds of Asia, brought over, Kr baps.somethlng liku two centuries ngo. The first arrivals mint have roue-hod this country as stowaways on board ship, and, rinding themselves in con genial surroundings, llicy multiplied apnea. Now thoy seoin almost every where, but for a long timo after thoy swarmed In tlio kitchens of town houses thoy were unknown in the country. No doubt if they bail been natives of a similar climate they would have quick ly reached oven tcuioto villages, but thoy fortunately huvo delicuto constitu tions and cannot stand exposoura toJ cold. Many peoido must have noticed that it is only in not summer weather that they are seen far away from the warmth of the kitchen lira. It is this need for n high tamporntura which causes them to concentrate whore it is most constantly maintained. Cool larders and pantries are comparatively secure against thoir altaeks. In spile of tlio fact Hint they would Hud better fare tboruin than the crumbs and particles upon the kitchen lloor. Their common description as "borriblo black booties'" is a curious misnomer. They are not black, nor nro thoy beetles; the only part of tho description which is at all applioaoio to mom is tiiu aiumoi --Horrible," with which few will quarrel. N. r. Lcdmr. WIU We Have American Quinine? Adolph Sutro is trying the experi ment of raisins: cinchona trees at his grounds above tho Cliff House. It is From the bark of about a dozen varie ties of this tree that quinine is extract ed, and if thoy will thrive in this cli mnto the trees will become very valua ble. Moroovor, the cinchona is a very showy troo nnd highly ornamental, some of them growing to a height of eighty font. Tlio enormous medicinal consumption of tho bark of the cincho na has caused the troo to bo extensive ly cultivated In India nnd Java. -It grows In high allltudas In Now Grana da, Kcuador, Peru and Bolivia, whoro thoro Is a great deal' of moisture. It has boeu tried with success in Aus tralia, neat' the seaooast, and Mr. Sutro thinks somo of tho varletlos will, grow here, where there is a moisturo lit the atmosphere all tho year round San Francuco Examiner. Bent Catching. Sent catchers say that tho bustnoss is ono of continual hnrdshlp from the be ginning of n trip to the end. The clunute during tbo season is most dis- ngreoaiilu. It is damp ntul rainy unit heavy fogs settle down without it mo ment's warning.' Often nud ofton bents have been separated from the schooner and have wandered about for several days, before being picked up. The boat stays oul as long as it is liht enough to see the souls. The work is tedious nd very rough. A3 OREGON NEWS. Tlio potato output around Iltiona ViMtu will tliiit fall bo goinclhing nour 70,000 buHlicln.

Coos boy, last week while cutting down a tree, which split and "kicked" back injuring him so that ho died in a few hours. Large cleanups nro reported from tho placers of the Stisanville district in northern Grant and extensive development work is being done on the quartz properties of that district. There is no need for a man to be idle in Oregon City. Contractor Hugh Peters, who has the contract for the grading of Seventh street, complains of tho scarcity of labor ers. William Tompkins, of Forest Grove, lias exhibited a bunch of timothy that stood seven -ieet and four inches in height; also oats five feet four inches, with forty stalks to a stool. It is known that there are a number of beds of clay in Clacka mas county tp.at have every lndtca lions of being good potter's clay, though nothing as yet has even been done to test them. Work at the quicksilver mines on Beaver creek is being rushed, over thirty men being employed there. A largo amount of money is being expended in purchase of machinery and in opening the cinnabar deposit. Dr. Patterson is of tho opinio: that his hop yard of forty acn son the island near luigeno will produce one-third more than in any previous year. Hop lice uro present, but in far less numbers than several weeks ago. Last week an immigrant train containing five wagons and about twenty person passed through Prine ville, en route to Multnomah county. They were from Minnesota and North Dakota and had been on the road sinco May 4th. Mrs. Emma Ward has the con tract for carrying the mail from Farewell Rend to Prineville, Crook county. She has a distance of thirty miles to travel, across the desert, with only sand, sago and junipher in sight, and not a drop of water on the route. Young Nutt, tho counterfeiter who was recently captured in South er,)! Oregon, says tho two Coon broth ers who escaped told him they had manufactured $500 worth of spurious $5 pieces which thoy suc ceeded in working off on Puget sound last summer. A Salem music dealer sold a if 125 organ and put it in a wagon to deliver. lie covered it up and in a short time heard an explosion, and discovered tho instrument on fire. It was totally destroyed and the wagon badly damaged. What caused the tiro is a mystery. Thero has nlroady been some trouble with forest fires in this sec tion, says the Jacksonville Tjmes, and there is likoly to bo considerable complaint on this score before the eonson closes. Hunters and others in the mountains nro altogether too careless about setting out lire whoro it will do tho most harm, Umatilla Indians are, preparing for their annual hunt to provide thoir winter's food, and soon their will bo an exodus of able bodied braves from the resevation. They will scatter in overy direction, to John Day, Malheur, Wallowa, Snake river and oil places where good hunting grounds are offered. Forest Grovo has five and three quarters miles of public sidewalks and nino miles of graded streets. Forty-two new residences, one church and three brick stores are being built, while a two-Btory addi tion to the public school building is almost completed. Many other houses tire contemplated yet this year. WASHINGTON NEWS. Tho trouble between the militia in Washington is now settled amicably. Several hundred dollars' worth of jewejey was stolen from the resilience of Mrs. Drigs in North Seattle. The county commissioneis have added f'500 lo tho fund for making Thurston county's exhibit at the Tacoma exposition. A Btcam lire engine and two hoso- carts havo boon received at South llend, and a lire department organ- i.ed. Seattlo police have captured a vagrant with eight diamonds in his sleeve, and are holding him on sus picion that he stole them. Carl J. Nordin, employed in a sliiugle mill at Snohomish, ran his hand against a saw last week, which tore oil all the lingers on one hand. Fire at Edison destroyed the Edison hotel which all its contents. The loss is estimated at about 5000. The cause of the fire is unknown. A son of J. V. Sampson, of Wash ougal, got his hand caught under a rock tho other day nnd so badly smashed that two fingers had to be amputated. By the falling of a hugo fir tree the new residence of Frank Bridg hain, at Toledo, was completely demolished. None of tho family were in the house at the lime. Henry Hansen, living near Cow litz, while cutting down a cedar snag last week, was in some way caught by the fulling snag, which struck him on the back of the neck, killing him instantly. J.L.Davis informs the Daven port Times that Texas Jack," one of tho horsethieves whom he had arrested but not convicted recently, was hung somewhere in the Oka nogan region last week. Colfax has a law and order league, tho members of which, through their executive committee, have notified the citizens that it is their purposo to see that the Sunday and gambling laws are enforced. Circulars have been sent out to tho thinning ranks of the men who first Bottled Puget sound, asking thorn for a lock of-their hair and thoir name. The intention is "to work the hair into a picture of Mount Rainier. People in the Snoqualmie region were much stirred up over the elop ment of the 17-year-old daughter of O. S. Jose with a half-breed named Guye recently. Tho girl is a beautiful blonde, said to be highly accomplished. Frank Webber, of Lincoln creek, Chehalis county, reports that he has already sold his entire hay crop, the product of fifty acres in the mow, for if 1500. Surely no farmer has a right to kick when he gets such returns as the above. George Merchant while digging a well at fcureka Hat, near Walla Walla, was suffocated by foul air. lie bad signaled to be Hoisted up and when about half way fell out of tho bucket. When brought to tho surface a few miuuts afterwards ho was dead. Tho body of Mrs. Rurgess, who disappeared from her homo near Kitzvelle about a week ago, has been found in a field near her home. She left a note saying she could not make bread to pleaso her husband. Tho neighbors are undecided whether it is a caso of suicide or murder. Irrigation will soon be adopted in cortain sections of Whitman county, and tho result will be watched with interest. Al Hooper, of Hooper postoUico, has recently let a contract for a ditch two miles in length, by means of which he proposes to irri gate 200 acres of prune ground, small fruits and hops, which he proposes to set out next spring. The North Fork Coal Company, owning a fine-looking mine on the south fork of tho Nooksack, aro vigorously prosecuting the work of development. A tunnel 125 feet long has been run, and a shaft is now being sunk from the tunnel. Tho coal is said to be of excellent Duality, and the owners are confi ent that they have a lino property. Reports are now coming in from almost every county in Western Washington of somo big trees dis covered for the world's fair. The most definite knowledge has been contributed by Mr. S. II. Soulo and Mr. J. M. Saar, of Sumas City; who recently explored a forest of big trees. They measured fir trees from nine to fourteen feet in diam eter, six feet from the; roots, and thdBO trees run from 300 to 400 feet in "height." A perfect spruce was also found which measured fourteen feet in fliamcter. Specimens like theso with cedar, trunks live feet square nnd 120 feet long, without a knot or a blemish these are what will bo shown to attract the lumber makers to Washington, and to help establish markets in the ast. FAEM AND GABDEN. EVAPORATED APPLES. Our readers will recall the action of tho German government in' regard to alleged discovery of oxide of zinc in evaporated apples two years ngo, and which tvas made a pretext to discriminate against our products. It wns assumed that the procc38 of blenching the fruit bright caused tho ground for complaint. Careful investigation made by our own gov ernment departments, however, soon proved that no injurious admixture !f anv tT,:Zn stance entered into the fruit. A searching investi gation at various evaporating estab lishments showed that minute frag ments of metallic zinc could be traced, and further search solved thecause. It has been the practice, for rapidity of labor, to scrape the fruit off the trays after evaporating it, and tho instrument most con venient and almost universally used was the ordinary steel trowel, and occasionally its sharp edges would clip oil' minute particles of the gal vanized surface. During the past year all evaporating linns, know ing this fact, have substituted a woodtyi instrument, or simply a shingle, which serves every purpose in consequence of tins discovery and change, not a complaint was made as to production of the fruit of 181)0, nor did chemical tests discover any trace of former alleged foreign or injurious substances. It is hoped that this article may be read by all who propose evaporating fruits of anv kind the coming year, and that only a wooden instrument will be used for the purpose here stated. American Grocer. snow ANIMALS. To the professional feeders for showyard purposes it is not neces sary to give any particular caution as to tiie manner of treating the animals being fitted for the fall campaign, but it is always in order to point out the danger of overdoing the thing. Animals that are natur ally of a thrifty disposition if not watched may lay on too much flesh, which is not only detrimental to their future usefulness, but will be accompanied by a loss of smooth nesa, which may be fatal at some critical moment under the eye of some expert judge. Animals of a daintier fcabit will require close attention in order to tmeve the best results. If induced to eat too heart ily by means of condiments, etc., a case of indigestion may ensue which will throw the feeder back many days, or perhaps weeks, in the work of training. Study the appetites, therefore, of the animals in charge, and add to a ration here or take from it there, as tho exigencies of the particular caso may demand. No great amount of Uesh can, as a rule, be put on during the heated term, so that by tho middle of July the carcass should be well along toward show form. After My time arrives it will, in the case of cattle especially, be difllcult to do much more than maintain the flesh already gained and put on t he finish ing touches as respects hair, horns, handling, etc. Breeders' Gazette. 110(1 C1IOI.EKA. We find tho following in a bulle tin from the Georgia department of agriculture: Hogs fed freely on tuuips, cab bage, sweet potatoes or chutl'as will rarely if ever have cholera. Sleeping in lousy or dusty beds kills as many or more hogs than cholera. Plenty of pure water, frequent change of food and clean stalls will contribute greatly to tho health and thrift of all farm stock. no BKKS INJURE KIU'IT? Iii reply to the querry, Do bees injure fruit? it is safe to say no. They will not disturb sound fruit, the outer skin or covering of which is whole. Horticulturists have made complaint that bees injure fruit. and especially grapes, but these complaints, when culminating in a lawsuit, have been, so far as we have heard, settled in favor of the beekeeper. v ITEMS OF INTEREST. Half-cured hay is wholly spoiled by rain, and about half-spoiled by a heavy dew, if suffered to receive it when spread upon the ground. Speed tho planter, the harrow. the roller and the corn plow. The finely pulverized earth retains greatly more moisturo than hard and unstirred ground and it holds all tho rain that falls. In Europe wherever the sugar beet is grown the value of the land has increased. Beets are grown for two or three sucqessive years on tho same land, which will then produce better cereals and other farm pro ducts; The Canada thistle has spread so rapidly in New Zealand that a law is about to be passed similar to the Canadian law, compelling farmers to destroy the weed on tho roadside adjoining their lands as well as upon their lands.

Another call has been issued by the property-owners of Astoria for a meeting to consider the best man-, her of raising the land subsidy required to secure the commence ment and construction of a railroad, standard gauge, from Astoria to transcontinental connection. Another case of didn't know it was loaded occurred in ..Portland Sunday morning. John Bevan was showing his friend Richard Hughes a pistol when it accidentia wentofT, tho ball entering Hughes' left eye, causing Instant death.

A young man named Broon killed his father in a fiendish manner. George J. Osborne, a prominent man of St. Paul, committed suicide. Evansville, Ind.., has just had the heaviest rainstorm for many years. Two girls were drowned at Lan cing, Mich., by the upsetting of a boat. Tho frost in some of the Western states did but very little damage to corn. Considerable damage was done by the recent heavy storm in Missouri. The water in Salton lake,recently formed in the Colorado desert, is receding slowly. A deserter from the arniy was captured at Uoseburg and taken back to San Francisco. The Union Pacific will contest the rates recently fixed for freight over railway lines in this state. The cloud-burstin Pottsville, Pa., and the rapid rainfall, did damage to the amount of over if KXJXX). The chief of police and six men were killed at Granad, Nicaragua, in the attempt to suppress an out break. James C. Shute, a New York fireman, lost his life in the discharge of his duty, being suffocated by smoke. The gang of workmen digging in the burned building at Park Place, New York, have so far found seventy-one bodies of persons killed in the disaster. More bodies are missing and being hunted for. The barn of a farmer named J. A. Robinson, was burned near New castle, Cal., while he was attending a meeting of the farmers' alliance last week, and when at the next meeting his house was burned. The business portion of the city of Jacksonville, Florida, was burned on August 18th. Twenty-five busi ness houses and fifty dwellings were burned. The total loss is over if 1,000,000; insurance $500,000. M. Eiffel asks promission to erect a tower on the world's fair grounds, the enterprise to be backed by French capital.

The pope, like the German enipe-, ror, speaks better English than many Englishmen. He is partiou-, laily fond of the queen's tongue, and uses it in preference to French, the language of the Vatican, when ever he gives audiences to American or English people. He is also well versed in German. The holy father has a remarkable memory for faces, rivaling that for which the Prince of Wales is noted. But in his own case this is a natural gift rather than an accomplishment. Judge Hanford, of the United States court,has rendered Unimport ant decision in certain Chinese depredation cases, in which he takes a different view of the law from that taken by the treasury depart ment and congress. Judge- Han fod construes the law strictly, and where it says Chinese i shall be deported to the country from whence they Came he holds that the statute does not contemplate the country from which they originally came, but the the Country- from whence they came directly into the United States: 1 ;r, No aide shows are to be permitted within the world's fair grounds. The directory has decided that the fee shall entitle the visitor to see everything within the enclosure. There will be, however, several theaters bunt and kept running, at which the finest talent in the world, it is expected, will appear, and vis itors who choose to attend the per formances will have to pay an admission .fee. Such sights as "A Street in Cario" will be free, but natives of oriental countries in a few cases will be allowed to charge a small fee to special perfurinaiices of a theatrical nature.

THE OREGON MIST. laaaad Every Friday Morning, J. XI. BGEQLB. 8UB8CBtPTI0Jt, f 1.80 PER YKAR. 8t. Helms, Bxptkuber 4, 1891. MATSS SHOULD BS SEDUCED. Portland people aeem to be adopt ing the right mean to bring about a reduction in rate. In a remarkably horl time after Mr. Hannaford an- bounced bis decision of the transcon tinental line regarding the reduction asked for, Portland had a committee teady to start East to wait upon the of- fwiala of the Union Pacific. Thia com mittee made a vigorous kick against the policy of the Gould management, but whether or not any good will re sult remains to be seen. We fail to aee where any benefit is going to ac crue to a railroad by fixing a rate suf ficiently high to prohibit business. The Union Pacific has not only fixed Its rates high enough to shut out Puget Sound lumber sod shingles from the markets which that road reaches, but it goes so far as to shut out the products of its own terminus, Portland. This is one way to manage a railroad, but it is not fair tratnttnt toward the people of this section, evny more than it is fair to raise an objec tion to the reduction proposed by the Northern Pacific. We do not expect the railroads to carry freight for noth ing, nor at a loss, but we want a fair deal all around. If Mr. Gould can carry southern pine into Dearer profit ably for a certain figure, he should take Oregon lumber into that market at the same rate per mile, but he does xtot,nor will he, probably, until com pelled by the inter-state commerce commission. Phe Portland manufac tures do not insist on a reduction of the present rates, but only on an equalisation of them. The Pacific Northwest is willing to try competi tion with the whole world with such products as we manuiactnre here, but we cannot expect to make much head way if all the railroads entering this section are to discrimiuate against our manufactures in faror of those in ether sections. BELP YOUR NEWSPAPER. It is to the interest of every one in 8t. Helens to help its local newspaper all they can, consistent with their means and business. Nothing helps town so much ss a live rustling newspaper, and if they are allowed to languish for lack of support, strangers perceive it very quickly and give the town a wide berth. They don't care to invest in a place where business men studiously keep their names out of eight We are pleased to Bay that many of our best citizens, in spite of dnll times, appreciate the efforts of the'' press to advance the interest of both city and count 'constantly and pertialeniiy calling the attention of outsiders to the fact that nowhere else on the Pacific coast can be found such varied resources, rich and fertile soils, equable climate, etc. This project of the Astoria people to build a railroad from Goble, a point on the Northern Pacific near the cross ing of the Columbia river, to Astoria as indeed a wise plan. By thia route there is only a link of about sixty miles to construct to reach Astoria, and at a great deal less cost than by any" of the other proposed routes; be sides there will be no heavy grades on the line, it following the Columbia bottom all the wy. There is one thing, however, that the Astoria people will suffer from, and that will be from the fact that all, or nearly all their traffic will come over the Northern line to Goble and the Northern will f GOOD Dr. Price's Cream" Baking Powder is often called the Good-Lock Baking Powder. Owing- to the tact that good luck always attends toe use of Dr. Price's, it is not essential use it the moment it is mixed nor is it required to hare the oven always just so, as in the case with ammonia or alum powders. It is not lack after all, but the exact accuracy and care exercised in ftbe preparation and combination of all the ingredients of Dr. JPrice's Cream Baking Powder. Competent chemists are "employed to test the strength and purity of each ingredient Nothing is trusted to chance. Hence; it is always uniform in its work. House wires never fail to have "good luck" in mak ing most delicious bread, biscuit, pastry and cakes that remain moist sad sweet Only Baking Powder that con. tains tlw white of eggs. Dr. Price's Cream Bating Powder is re ported by all authorities as free from Ammonia, Alum, or any other adulterant In fact, the parity of this ideal powder has never been que, tfonedt j make terms and compel the Astoria stockholders to accept them whether they wish to or not. This is apnar eully the only drawback. Th war in Chili has at last ter minated in favor of the coiigrissiimal ists party. Valparaiso was capturnod a few days ago by the insurgent forces and the next day the government gen eral surrendered the country to the rebels, who immediately took posses sion. The decisive battle lasted for five hours with great loss on both sides. Had the government war ves sels, which are being built in France, arrived before the rebels forced this final onslaught, the tables would un doubtedly have turned, ending in the crushing defeat of the congress army. President Balmaceda is said to have fled for his life to Buenos Ayros, and several of his staff generals have al ready been shot under martial law. The victorious Chiliaua.like the savages that they, by nature, are, at once com menced their murderous warfare up on the innocent, as well as guilt v and their heathenish appetite for murder and pillage knows no end as yet. It is claimed that the insurgents show no mercy with auy one who was identi fied with the Balmaceda army, aud reat divestataliun is the order of the Victorious rebels. Very few people doubt but that President Balmaceda was somewhat of a tyrant, but even that, after their overthrow of hia gov ernment, does not justify the insur gents in making themselves worse than the president ever was. Now that they have won the victory they should be willing to settle down iu peace. CLATSKAME NEWS. J. W. Foasbee, of the Colony, was seen on our streets this week about free from his limping gait caused by rheumatism. He spent two months or more at Portland try ing the etiecta of electricity, but the disease had bold of a good big man and let go with great reluctance. Miss Louise Dopp has gone back to Mich igan again, called there by the illness of friends. Milton Bryant's woe begone appearance on the streets lately was owing to illness and not by financial trouble. Us is getting some better now. v Fred Weisenen, aged about 19 years, re siding on the prcirie, has been quite ill lately suffering from dropsy. His recovery is hoped for by bis frienas. Rev. Barkley of the C B. denomination. acr-ordingto announcement preached in Merrill's hall on Monday evening the 31st, to a large audience. He is a forcible speaker and sure of a large audience when he preaches in our town. Chris Scbloth has had a happy family on hia bands lately made up of vutting daughters and nieces. They kept his house lirely, and their merry laughter had a drawing power that was felt clear across the street. G. Hiatt has been doing some good work fencing in a couple p lot' the cemetery. For the rep:,u,jn of the town and a proper regard for the last rating place c' Die dead, a good ueal of work is needed in tbat cemetery. An effort is being made to secure the steamer Shaver for an excursion to Astoria and return on Saturday next. Quite a num ber of people in this vicinity want to see the ancient city and its surroundings, and the scheme on hand is likely to be a go bom present indications. Owing to the absence of Mr. Edgerton, who is on his ranch, Monroe Burford has had entire charge of the store aud postofflce. He has been kept very busy and does well to keep as good natured as he does. The Purchasing Agency is now supplied with neat headquarters adjoining Oomme's store and the wants of its patrons will be attended to with two big C's; Certaintly and Celerity. Frank'Merrill's new dwelling noose bills fair to become one of the ornamental resi dences of the village. The carpenter work seems to be well done and the Messers. Stewarts are erecting quite a monument to their skill. It was rumored a few days ago tbat small vessel had quietly stesmea into town one morning before tbe people were astir and discharged from ber cargo six tons of Giant and Judson powder, and that the the same was stored in a born located in LUCK. conspiclous position near the center ot the village. Upon hearing tbe rumor the hair of some ot tho cltisrns immediately stocd on cud aud the city council were hooted up and informed Unit the city's safety must be looked after at once, A meeting of the Sidd council was imniedtatedlf culled and It was specially ordained that no Giant, or Judson powder In excess ot 60 pounds should be kept In tho city limits and that 50 pounds must be put in an Iron box. Now the question Is, has the powder been re moved, or are we still liable to a terrillc up heaval that will scatter the town to atoms. It we remain on earth the Misr will get later particulars. W. A. Edgerton has been blowing stumps "sky hish," out of his homestead on the Upper Clatskanie river. (Hunt powder and Judson powder are doing the business for him Pome of the same material has been used In removing obstructions from the stream In making logs float easier. Miss Gertrude Badger we added to the public school faculty last Monday a the younths of thecitv are gottlrt. t nmiier ous tor Mr. Wood alone. Both schools are doing well. Mr. Z. Bryant, school clerk, announces to the tax-payers thnt hn Is now ready to receive school tux which is to be paid with in flu days. The new school .building does not seem to be abandoned by any meant. Some interest is felt In knowing whether the shingle man who brotmht his best girl from the Nebulem Is married or not. There is some diversity of opinion at present. The ware room at the steamer landing Is very much Improved, as well as enlarged, and looks a much more suitable place for a city frcleht house. E. D. Ticijenor wss ihe crack hunter on Monday last, bringing into the village a trophy In the sliaiw of a dead cstamount. He thinks sheep and chickens in his neigh borhood will now hav a much better chance for their lives. Ed. Elliott wss unlucky enough to cut a gash in the side of his knre last week and Is laid up for repairs Ed. knows how it goes to cut himself, having had previous eiperience in that direction. F. Rofinot and family are now occupying tbe scow near Capt. Bureau's mill where Mr. R is at work. Vic Rofinot Is again around after his siege with bis knee. On Monday afternoon the steamer brought in Mr. and Mrs. B. W. Blood, of this vicinity. Mr. Blood has spent several months in Montana hoping for physical benefit from' the dry air and an elevated locality there, but the country does not seem to have done what was hoped for it and it Is reported that Mr. Blood is quite feeble. i BUB-TItEASCRY SCHEME. Pardon us for asking space on mut ters We do not understand, but will it not be fraudulent fur the govern ment to issue notes on the sub-treasury scheme whon it dinw not possess the money in the treasury to pay those notes with.- Can it have any more light than a private individual in this matter? Can he have any more privi lege than any other banking bouse has to issue money by paper? A citiz n has no right to give a check on a hauk unless he has money deposited there to pay for tbe stme. If the govern ment is going to issue vouchers for bankers to cash will they be obliged to cash them for their face? If not, what will be the discount? Wh-i "Will be the 1 er, the 'mnent or iha borro'ver? If there will be any discount will it not be a snap fur the money lender who buys those government uutex? bat if the government will give gold and silver instead of those notes, vouchers, or any other paper money, then I would hail the sub-treasury scheme as one of the grandest financial slate menship schemes the world everknew.

The Forest Grove Times arouses the people of Hillsboro of bringing about the construction of a new courthouse for the sole purpose of permanently lo cating the county seat at that place. The Tiroes would like to have the county seal located at Forest' Grove for the reason that it has a pretty name. A desperate at temp at escape from the state prison at Walla Walla was mado some days sgo by a number of convicts at work in the brick yard. They tried to get control of a train of cars which had run in there with sup plies, but the engineer reversed the engine, which caused it to be ditched, and thoirplaue were frustrated. Oh Sunday last a gentleman made quite a long swim. He started iu at the sawmill to swim the river and swam almost to the end of the break water when he was taken with cramps and had to get into a boat whioh went along with him all the way. He was in the water an hour aud twenty minutes and would have swam across bad be not been taken with cramps.- The trading: steamer Minnie Hill, owned by Loirsen and Saxon, of uut ton, burned in tbe Beaver slongb about 12 o'clock on Sunday night last. Tbe steamer was Used as a general mer chandise store and had lately received a large invoice of goods. Tbe goods were valued af 11.800 and the boat at 1,500, insurance on the whole was 11.600. Thestesmeras well as the stock is a total loss. About 1130 in cash and all of the crew's wearing a p. parel was lost. The loss falls very heavy on the owners as this is Just the beginning of tbe trading season. It will be remembered that Mr. Larson formerly kept a store at Gillton which he also lost by fire a year or two ago. The boat and stock was insured in the Columbia Fire and Marine Insurance company of Portland for 11,500. Many years practice have given C. A. Snow Co., Solicitors of Patents, at Washington, D.

He was taken to the hotpital at Portland on the next south-bound traiu. Hop picking has commenced in most ot the yards of the Willamette valley, and thousands of pickers are now en gaged in gathering the crop. Some damage on account of lice is reported, but a fair yield will probably be saved. The market is very discouraging to the growers, on account of which some yards will probably uot be picked. Last Sunday night at Hillaboro one of tbe large trunks belonging to a com mercial traveler, traveling with the Leak Advertising com pany, waa broken open and a large amount of samples stolen. The trunk was left on the plat form at the depot and the burgla' broke the lock and carried away a load of samples. ARSENIC AND AMMONIA. Remarkable Contrast In tba Effect of Two Poisons on tbe Complexion. The slow absorption of many poisons changes iu some more or less modified form the con:plexion, but arsenic and ammonia show their effect about as qickly a8 any. The popular belief that arsenic clear the complexion has led many silly women to kill them selves with it in small, continued doses. It produces a waxy, ivory-like ap pearance of the skin during a certain stage of the poisoning, but its terrible after effects have become to well known to make it of common use as a cosmetic. The effects of ammonia upon the complexion are directly opposite to that of arsenin. The first symptom of ammonia poisoning which appears among those who work m ammonia factories is a discoloration of the skin of the nose and forehead. This grad ually extends over tbe face until the complexion has a stained, blotched and unsightly appearance. With peo ple who lake ammonia into their syS' terns in smaller doses, as with their water or food, these striking symptoms do not appear so soon. Tbe only effect of the poison that is visible for a time is a general unwholesomsness and shallowness of the complexion. Many people are slowly al.sorbing ammonia poison without knowing it. The use of ammonia in tbe manufac tur has greatly increased of late, and it is unquestionably used as an adulterant in certain food preperalions. Ullicial analysis have plainly shown its use eveu in suph cheap articles of every day consumption as baking pow ders. 1 be continued absorption of am monia in even minute quantities as an adulterant in food ia injurious not merely from its effect upon the com plexion, but because it destroys the coating of the stomach and causes dys pepaia and kindred evils. Professor Long of Chicago, is author ity tor the statement thal.of fifty mill ion parts of water there is one part of ammonia, the water is dangerous. HOULTON. Notwithstanding tho complaint of dull times, tunes are quite lively out in this usually quiet burg, and there is hardly a day but what one can see parlies going out to Milton Park, camping. F. Emerson has moved into his new house. O. S. Emerson and Capt. A. Hender- derson are each building a fine resi dence and will soon have them com pleted. L. French our genial balchelor friend, will soon have the roof on his new bouse. There is a large crew at work on the new railroad bridge over Milton creek at this place. They are going to have a fine bridge when done. The bridge crew is boarding with Mr. Cam pell, who with his transoient boarders is orowded full. Howard 4 Corliss are still loading lumber at this place for Portland. We learn that Miss Gilmore, who was learning telegraphy at tbe station, has got tired of it and given it up and gone to doing housework agaiu. I hear she baa gone to Mr. Campbell's for the summer. No doubt that suits ber better than telegraphy. More anon. a kiadbr. Thb Mist and the Weekly Oregon- Ian one year, in advance, 13. V WARRED. From the looks of the big roll of Mists that come to tbe Warien post- office, I woull judge that the people of this section know bow to appreciate good county paper. Let everyone put their shoulder to tbe wheel and with the present management we will have one of the best papers in tbe state. There waa a quiet wedding at the residence of J. H. Macon, on Hunuay last, the principal actors being Mr. Edwin Collins and Miss Nora Bacon, Rev. J. M. Beaucbsmp officiating. May tho young couple live long and happy lires.

Clif ford are down from Portland visiting their old friend, Max Berg, and from appearances I would judge that they are having a good time. Mr Mif Ttnrcr'a laam twwnmA fricrht- ened and ran away a few days ago and lei I his hay rake scattered along me road, but he says he will get it to gether again with a very little cost. SPRING VALLEY NEWS. FTarveatinir ia all through in f.hla val ley and the farmers are getting ready lor law sowing. Mr. J. Dupont lost a fine cattle dog last week, valued at twenty dollars. It is supposed that he was accideotly poisoned. Mr. Resimins has built an addition to bis house. Railroad news is all stopped again, but we will have the railroad all tbe same. J. Delasky went to Portland last week to get a winter supply ot goods. Mr. J. Dupont made the purchase of a fine horse last week for twenty dollars. Two fine cows with their calves were purchased of Mr. Jas. Dart, of St. Hel ens, and brought here the other day. There is about a half a mile of the wagon road adjoing Miller's place made, and they expect to make tbe balance very shortly. It comes cut about a half a mile below Cow camp making the distance from St. Helens 10 Nelinlem three miles shorter and a much better road than the old one. DEER ISLAND. Extreme hot weather for this season of (be year. Last Wednesday a we k ago was a very hot day the thermometer rang ing Us degrees iu the shade. Wo measured a Canada thistle the other day on the bottom land that stood over 8 feet high. Ia there any wonder why we want reciprocity with Canada: Elzy George was at Vernonia last week undergoing a medical examina tion by the pension bureau. Mr George was honorably discharged from tbe U. S. army in 1804 and is now dependant and entitled to a pen sion. As A. F. McDonald was driving over Tide creek mountain on the Nicolai road to the Clatskanie last Monday, both horses went through a bridge, which gave him quite a lobtoget them out. Why don't the supervisor fix this bridge as the plank have been on the ground for over three weeks. If be has not funds to hire the help needed the county had better help him, as there are several bridges in a very danger ous condition. CARICO VALLET.

We wish Mr. Lsmberson thought as much of us. Mr. R. Frey and wife went to St. Helena Saturday on business. S. Rock and C. F. Fowler were visit- inir in St. Helens Saturday. C. O. Moyer, of Bridal Veil, was vis' itiog his family at this place a few days last week. We wonder who that old lady is that is running over the country telling who is correspondent lor this place: W think it would be better for ber to find out who she is talking about be fore she tells too much.

Tears with Nanny Nixon meant some thing. She was not tho typo of girl that cried at everything a wilted rose' bud, a pathetic poem, or tho tragic last chapter of a paper-covered novel. Life had been too much sober earnest for her to indulge in any such senti mental luxury. Up to her seventeenth year she had toiled hard for her daily bread, work- in? iu the button-factory all day, and doing Undo Joshua's housework of nights and mornings.' Uncle Joshua took her very much as a matter of course. trirls were born to make themselves useful that was his opinion. He saw no particular hard' ship in her rising at three o'clock to get tho Monday's washing out on the lines before she went to her work; nor in staying up until eleven o'clock Tues- .1 1.; 1 J uay nigub lo iruu uis siuns, ami uu up the two table-clotbes and the four napkins. Did he not give her a home? bo would nave taken her in when sho was a lean, sharp-faced little orphan, if it had not been for him? But to-dav, when he found moths -in liia best Sunday suit, tho floodgates of lus wratli were opened, ami he scolded Manny until site tools refuge in tears. "I'd like to know," said Uncle Joshua, "if this is what you call good housekeeping I'd like to know what I keen you here and lodge you for. if this 'erc's the way my tilings is goin' to rack aud ruin? Moths in my best clothes, as I've had for nine years como next October! In my clothes, as I told you to beat and bang out in the sun once a week, till the warm weather was over! "I'm very sorry, uncle," said Nanny, drooping down like a daisy under the mower's scythe. "I did forget it last week. Oh, uncle, I m so sorry! Please let me take them now; I'll mend the place. so it will never be seen, and air the clothes thoroughly 1 will in deed!" But Uncle Joshua shook his head. I can't trust you,' said he sepill ch rally. "I hain't no more confidence in you, Nanny. I guess I'll write to my cousin, H mow Lcuman, to come down berc and keep house for me. Her sou's going to get married, and she'll be glad of a good home. IV.tr little Nanny recoiled at this dreadful hint. Cheerless as the old Woodburn farmhouse was, it had still been home to her. She was crvinir rerv nitifullv as she picked over the basket of plantain- greens by tho well, when Mark Dan forth came thither for a pail of water. Ho was the young engineer at the factory, and the Woodburn well was the coldest and clearest for half a mile round. Hallo! 'said Mark. "What's the matter, Nanny? Have you hurt your self?" "No, no," faltered Nanny, half ashamed of the tears, and quite ashamed of their occasion. "But Uncle Joshua isn't pleased with me." "Been scolding you ch?" said Mark, poising his pail ou the well curb, and regarding the pretty droop ing little creature with compassionate eyes. "Y yes. Uncle Joshua Mark Danforth sat down the pail "Hang Uncle Joshua!" said he. "Oh, Mr. Danforth!" "Well, I mean it," protested Mark. 'He's no business to make you cry." He'g-going to get the Widow Lea man to come and keep house for him," faltered Nanny. "He hasn't any more confidence in me." Mark Danforth took the basket of plantain-greens out of her hand, and seated himself besido her. "Nanny," said he, "I've got confi dence in you. If Mrs. Leaman comes to keep house for him. suppose you come and keep house for me? I've wanted to ask you to marry me this long time. ..Will you,' Naiuiy? You don't know what a good husband I'll be to you!" Nanny looked up with startled face. She was only seventeen. Her first in stinct was to run away and hide, her second to put her hand into Mark Danforth' and say: "Yes." In the meantime, however, old Mr. Woodburn had brushed and beaten his Sunday clothes until it was a marvel that the seams did not part company, and started to hang them out of the south garret-window, muttering cross ly to himself as he did so. And Mrs, Uigsbee, jogging down the road with a chaise well loaded with butter, eggs, and dressed poultry chanced to look up. Good heavens!" cried she, dropping her whip in horror and amazement, "if Joshua Woodburn hain't gone and 1 banged himself! And Nanny at tho mill! -I'd better go for Squire Notting right on. And in half an bom the neighbor hood was aroused. Squire Notting lift his dinner half-eaten, and went for Dr. Hedges at once. "If any thing's happened," said he, "the coroner is the person to have on the premises." Mrs. Bigsbce tied her horso under the shadow of (he nearest clm-trco. "Tain'tin human natur to go on scllin' eggs and chickens, when a man as you've sat next to in mectin' for thirty-odd years is a hangin' out of a winder, dead." Mrs. Holly sent a boy off to tell the Widow Leaman, who was Mr. Wood burn's cousin, once removed, and had "expectations" from him. "Much property hey?" said Dr. Hedges. 'Well, pretty cousld'nble," answered Squire Notting. "He was al'ays pretty close-listed. Never nut nothin' of any consequence in the church plate. Well, well! we must all die. And so he's hung himself! Last man In the world I should have 'thought it of." The )ittle knot of solicitous neigh bors advanced, whispering, along tho sunny stretch of road. Achild, pick ing blackberries under tho stone wall, stared at them as they went by; the mowers in the meadow swung their gleaming scythe- to and fro iu tho noon light. 'In the midst of life we are in death,' sonorously spoko .Squire Notting, its he drew out his big yellow lKK'ket-handkcrchiof, and flourished it like a signal-banner. "We Hoy! hollo! Bless my soul, if It ain't Neigh bor Woodburn himself And ho ain't hanged himself, nftor all!" For iu tho midst of it all, a little wicket-gate that led into tho vegetable garden had swung deliberately open, and Joshua Woodburn, carrying a bundle of withered poa-vines in his hand, came leisurely forward, as alive as possible! Mrs. Bigsbce uttered a screech; Dr. Hedges stood still; tho squiro rnbbod his eyes, and triod in vain to think of a Scriptural quotation appropriate to tho occasion. "Mornin', neighbors morning'!" Bitid old Joshua. "Pretty ttd'ablo hot, ain't it, for this timu o' year?'' Tho neighbors slunk by, feeling as if they nail uoon uoicctcu in some 1111110. Not until thev were well past the house did Dr. Hedges turn reproachfully to Mrs. Bigsbee. "You told us he'd committed suicide?" snarled he. "Well, look for yourself," pleaded poor Mrs. Bigsbce. "Ef that ain't a man hangin outin tho garret winder then I'm mistook." "A man. indeed!" savagely uttered Sou ire Notting. "It's a suit o' black clothes, that's what it is! And here you've been and raised the neighbor hood about nothing! 1 111 nstonisheu at you. Mi's. Bigsbee!" "Mrs. Bigsbee went away in groat wratli aud indignation. "Any one's liable to be mistook," said she. "And Square Notting's no gentleman to speak that way to Fadv!" Nanny was getting supper ready that evening, and Uncle Joshua was standing on a chair in tho buttery putting some particularly lino Cochin China eggs into an especial basket to send to market on tho next morning's carrier-cart, when the door flew open as if a cannon had exploded ou the other side of it. and the Widow Lea- man bounced breathlessly into tho room, with her rusty crapo vail flying behind her like a meteor, ami a per ceptible odor of peppermint accom- pauvmg her footsteps. "Well." said she. "so the mean old miser's gone at last!" Nanny looked up from the bowl of currants sho was stemming. -"Who do you mean t" said she. "Why. Joshua, of course!" Mrs. Leaman had seated herself on the nearest chair, untied her bonnet- strings, and was now fanning herself with her pocket-handkerchief. "Gone! Where?" said Nanny. 'He's dead, ain't he?" said Mrs. Lea man. "Me!" uttered a bass voice from the buttery, as Uncle Joshua carefully de scender irom me ciiair, aim waiketi into his cousin's presence. "Dead? Not much, I reckon! What was that you called me, Luella? A mean old miser eh? Well,' there's nothin like speakiu' the plain truth, Cousin Leaman!" Mrs. Leanian turned as many colors as the proverbial dying dolphin. She gave a little gasp. 'I uever got such a turn in my life, said sho bluutly. "They told me you'd been and gone and hung youself, Cousin Joshua. "Me!" said the old man; "hung my self? Be. I a likely subject for that sort o thing. Nanny began to laugh a soft rippling little laugh, that seemed to bubble out of the very fullness of her heart "I heard the same thing," said she, "at the factory, Uncle Joshua. It seems old Mrs. Bigsbce saw your best suit hanging out of the garret-window to air, aim aim sue mougni mat it was you." Uncle josuua ourstouiiaugningioo. He could not help it "Not yet, anyhow, sanl ho. "I he mean old misers too sensible for that. You ain't going, Cousin Leaman? Won't ye sit down and take a bite of supper with us? Da" But the wuiow seaman excuseu her self. "I guess, Nanny, said the old man, when sho and her crape veil and her pervading odor of peppermint had taken themselves off, "I'll change my mind about having Liiiclla Leaman here. I guess you'll do very well for a housekeeper, if you 11 be a utile more careful about my best suit of clothes and the moths. "Thank you. Uncle Joshua," said Nanny, reddening like a rose; "but but I've got a situation somewhere else as housekeeper. "i,h? saul uncle Joshua, peering over the rims of his spectacles. "1 111 going to marry Mark Dan forth," said the little maid with down cast eyes. Uncle Joshua was silent lor a second or two. Than he took his niece a face Detween his two hands and kisssed it. 'I'm glad on't," said he, "even though' I shall miss you. It's a grand thing for a girl to get a good husband, and you may go to Millville and pick out a wedding-gown, an' hev it charged to my account. And don't spare no expense, because you've deserved it" And of all the girls in Millville little Nanny was the happiest that night Her Feet and liair. Miss Helen Dauvray possesses two beauties her feet, which are of the highest regulation American pattern, and her hair, which is actually of inky blackness. In these days of mixed types, such hair stands out iu bold re lief or rather. Miss Daurray's tresses lie down iu unfashionable slickness aud that is a relief; but these pleasing features have not succeeded in turning her out a good actress. I would go a long way to see the Duuvray feet, dressed as their little owner knows how to dress them. And, like others at the Hollis Street Theater recently, I was not averse to the little dance at the end of the second act, because it ahowed them and the lace petticoat to such advantage. All tho same, I hope these impromptu steps are not to be introduced into every society play. Girls, even "birlwiud" girls in so ciety are not in the habit of prancing solus around a drawing-room when their partners claim them for a waltz, and why Polly Fargus should do such a thing, unless she lias Carmencita and Otero on the brain, passes comprehen sion." The "skirt dance" fad will be come uu absolute nuisance if it is to bring down the curia in on alt and every occasion, and I hope the charm ing gymnastics may be copyrighted or "protected" somehow before Mrs. Ken dal breaks into tho present folly.

Tlia Procession of the Seasons In South ern California There aro no sudden changes of sea son here. Spring comes gradually day by day, a perceptible hourly wak ing to life and color; and. this glides into a summer which never ceases, but only becomes tired and fades into the repose of a short autumn, when the sere and brown and red and yellow hills and the purple mountains are waiting for the rain clouds. This is according to tiie process of nature; but wherever irrigation brings, moisture to the fertile soil, the green and bloom urn narnetunl the Year round, only the green is powdered with dust and the cultivated flowers have their periods of exhaustion. I should think it well worth while to watch the procession of nature hero from late November or December to April. It is a land of delicate and brilliant wild flowers, of blooming shrubs, strange in form and wonderful iu color. Before tho annual rains the land lies in a sort of swoon in a golden haze; the slopes and plains are bare, the hills yellow with ripe wild-oats or ashy gray with sage, the sea-breeze Is weak, the air grows drier, the sun hot the shade cool. Then one day light clouds stream up from the southwest. and there is a gentle rain. When tne sua conies out again its rays are milder, the land is refreshed and brightened, and almost immediately a greenish tinge appears on plain and hiu-sidc. At intervals tho rain con tinues, daily the landscape Is greener in infinite variety of shades, which seem to sweep over the hills iu waves of color. Upon this carpet of green by February nature begins to weave an embroidery of wild flowers, white, lavender, golden, pink, indigo, scar let, changing day hv day and every day more brilliant, and spreading from patches into great fields, until dalo and bll and table-land are overspread with a refinement and glory of color that would be the despair of the carpet-weavers of Dahestan.

OiMi SHOT WAS ENO&GII SUCCESSFUL BUT DANGEROUS PUR SUIT OF A TICER. How a Itnyal npsalmsn Was Traisil la Ills Lair and Vnllawsd tu Ills Heath, Wo that is, tho major, doolor and myself had been pottering about the outskirts of tho Toral for sonic days, hniilug to got news of a tiger, says a writer in 'Harper's Weekly. Wo hud just pitched our camp whim our slil kurri, All by name, camo, hurriedly to our tent, Baying that tho headman of a neighboring vitiligo wished lo sneak with us. With him were sonio of tho villagers, who camo as a dvputatiou, praying us to rid them of a tiger that was playing sad havoo with their cat tlo. Tho proposition was jumped at, aud with All and two of his assistants I returned to tho village with tho headman. A wretched specimen of a bullock was bought for a few rupees, and was led out into the jutiglu, A good spot was found iu an open space that at some time or another had been cleared for cultivation. A dead treo stood conveniently near the dense forest, aud to this tho bullock was tied, and we left tho poor brute to iu fate, while- two men climbed luto a troo to watch. Dinuor was ready by the time 1 returned to camp; aud the major told us of his previous expe riences with tigers. The doctor had been on ninny a tiger hunt, but hud novor yet bagged one of the royal quarry. The fact of tho matter was he was mad ou ornithology, and ho con fessed that on more thau ouo occasion lie had been watching some rare speci men of the feathered tribe and lost the golden opportunity for a good shot. Wo turned in early, aud soon the camp was hushed iu silouco, but the forest was alive with animal and in sect life. Thousands of stimulating cicada seemed to make tho very air vibrate, while hero and there among bushes the tire-flics flashed to and fro. Afcovo all, the insect chorus, however, could bo heard the howl of tho hyoua or tho bark of tho prowliug jackal. Daylight saw us astir, and with it camo the welcome uews that the tiger had killed our bait timing tho night. Cliuulalnizri, consisting of coffee aud eggs, was soou disposed of aud we climbed into the howdah, strapped to our elenhunt, end started for the vil lage. Hero all was uxcltoniout when wo arrived. The headman hud al ready mustered all available hands for beaters. Tom-toms, tiu cans, aud short cudgels formed their armament, nnd it was a motley crow that marched out of the village that morning. As we walked silently along the juuglo path, fur we had left the ele phant at tho edge of tho forest, getting more aud nioro wet every step from the dewdrops we shook from the tall grass and overhanging boughs, the wholo lino was suddenly brought to a standstill. In front was tho village shikarrl, then followed the doctor. The latter was the cause of tho halt As tho major and myself pushed to tho front we saw him cautiously pointing to a treo nboro him with ouo hand, while the other was stretched out for his shot-guu. "What the deuce is it?" asked the major. "Don't you see it?" answered the doctor, excitedly. "Where's that fool witli my gun?" "Do you mean that infernal little bird?" ijuestioucd the major. "My dear major, that's 0110 of the rarest of finches. Where's niyguu?" continued the doctor in Himlostauoo. For the moment wo were iccchlcss, but the sight of the Imlf-frighlened servant coming up with the gnu loos ened ut least the major's lougue. Ho seized the gun himself, and turning to the doctor said: "Do you mean to say vou are thiuking of shooting that hirur "Of course I am," answered the as tonished doctor.. "And give the tiger notice of our ap proach? I've a good mind to shoot you first," nngrily retorted tho major. liv Jove! 1 forgot all about the tiger." There was no doubt he had. As we entered the open space signs were not wanting that tho bullock had been killed, for sitting on the boughs of trees were vultures, while others were circling abovo in tho air. As we came lu sight of tho carcass two jackals wcro seen running for tho shelter of the neighboring jungle, while some of tho carrion were gorging them selves on the corpse. The tiger had niado a meal of the hindquarters nnd we could easily trace its spoor down toward the nullah, or water courso. The doctor, who had won first choice of stations, determined to take up his position in the fork of a treo that commanded the open patch aud also a short stretch of the nullah. The major and myself had to mako a de tour to tako up our posts lower down the water course, ns in all probability "stripes" would conclude to cross it and seek fur shelter in tho dense jungle beyond. Half an hour saw us in position. The major ensconced himself behind a rock, with a capital view of tho now nearly ury river heu nun a friendly treo 111 bis rear, while 1 commanded a long stretch of the same, which just at tho foot of the rock on which I lay took a sharp turn to tho left. I also had a partial view of the patch that the doe tor was supposed to guard. Word was sent to tho beaters, and I, at least. waited anxiously for coming events. It was not long before the silcneo of the jungle was broken by tho noise of the villagers. Thero ure few things more exciting than waiting to get your first sight of a tiger. Despite the knowledge that 0110 must keep cool, the nerve got tho upper hand, and it seemed as though the holding of the-rillu steady hud be come an impossibility. Now and again tho long grass that bordered tho nullah stirred, as some deer, hog or jackal, fearful of the din, would dash across tho yellow Hi ream and vanish in the junglo that stretcheil for miles behind me. I was peering into tho thick under growth when suddenly All touched me and whispered, "Bnglil bugh!" (tiger, tiger') pointing toward the plot. Yes, standing out in the open, with its head turned in the direction of the din and hubbub, angrily twilulilng Its tail, stood a iinignilieuiit tiger, ful some seconds they seemed nn hour that tiger stood there somo 200 yards from me and then turned back into the woods. The noise of the beaters grew louder and louder, and I was be ginning to fear that tho boast Intended to break through their line, wheu ul- moat exactly opposite ino, tho tH grass was gently unshod asldo aiiu out hi to tho full gluro of day stepped the tiger. It started to pass down tho nullah, but for n second haltud on a slab of rock to listen to tho uolso of it enemies. It was a hplmidld shot. A sharp crack of a rlllu ami lliuu to my Joy I saw tho quarry lying 011 Its stomach, tearing up tho ground around In H Impotent rago aud growling as only a tiger can. Thero wus no necessity for a second shot, for as wo seruniblud to tho top of tho rock that had coneoahm us tho royal bruto rolled over 011 Its side while a stream of blood from Iu mouth niado assurance doubly sure. FOOtINC THE CASRA. Skllirully I'nliiteil Ku-i:ly linoalra the I.usrs of tho riiotitgrauhSTS. Somo of our girls are learning hew lo be photographed beautifully and trickily. "Have you observed and wondered," said ono of tho most cele brated of the camera men, "how well tho actresses manage to look when the evo of tho camera is focused on tliemP Well. 1 can tell you how to do as well us they do. First, choose an nrtistlo photographer. No matter how lunch you know about what you want and what to wear, there aro matters of view, and light and shade, tor which you must depeud absolutely upon him. llut he will uot bo nblo to advise you how to mako up your face aud will probably object swoopiugly to any such dovlce. That Is whore lie is mlstakon. If he wore wiso he would know how to poao a girl, and thnu with a bit of white and a bit of black chalk make her lovely for that viow. Several of tho Now York photographers do this now. Tho stock pose, Into which photographers, on general principles, put victims over whom they don't In tend to bother, is throe-quarters, which Is an abomluation to most faces. There is small chance for expresslou; tho eye gets no show at all, aud tho coutour of the check, which is seldom beautiful, except in children, Is betrayed. You will liud they have a rooted objuctlon to full-face positions. I have never been nblo lo discover why. Thero Is a tondeucy to raise ono eyubiow higher than the other, or look cross-eyed; but it is his business to look out for that and stop yon If your features begin to wander around your face. "Now, iu painting a face for pho tography the eyes can safely bo made up a great deal. Put black under the eye, ouly don't let it bo just ouo heavy black line. Shadow it out softly. Blacken the lashes as much ns they will stand, only don't let them be lumpy. Increase tho apparent length and sweep of tho upper lid, by which tho size of the eye is judged, with a line continuing (he line of 'the lashes, and a parallel one continuing tho Hue of the crease that shows just above when the eye is open. Draw these ouly as long as can be done without their showing as lines. An actress ob tained a clever picture, in which the effect of very long lushes Is given by lines, presumably shadows thrown by said lashes, painted above tho eye, just under the eyebrows. Uso red very carefully. Your lips probably need painting Into an improvement upon their own shape. Do it softly, and with very faint red. Itod takes black. Look carefully and you will trace a hard lino about the lips of many actresses' photographs. Sometime you dou't need to look carefully. If you waut a dimple to show specially, yon can heighten Us light and shade a little; but unless your photographer poses you so that the device doe not betray itself the effect will bo a fail ure Having thus accentuated your face, don't disturb its arrangement by a smile, or smirk, or any other grimace of expression when the lens is opened on you. Otherwise, art and nature will mako a hopeless mess of your features. But if you have planned an expression in harmony with the make up, lave it till tho last moment. The operator Is bound to grip the back of your neck with his monkey wrench, and if you hang ou lo your joyful smile nil through that ordeal you will get something demoniac ami wild to send to vour Friends."
