Ma0A Gascar.
[Nature.l

Although Madagascar is known to be
the third largest island in the world, its
actual size and extent is not very gener-
ally understood. 1t is easy to zee how
misconception on this point arises, for in
maps the island is usually seen only in
connection with Africa, and that great
continent is so large that it dwarfs by
comparison with itself everything in its
near neighborhood, 50 that the really
large island sheltering under lis south
eastern side appears but an inconsidera-
bic appendage to its vast neighbor. If,
however, we take good sized map of
Madagascar, and put by its side the out
line, to the same scale, of another roun-
try with whose dimensions we are famil-
lar, such, for instance, as England, we
begin to relize how important an is and
it is as regards size, being nearly one
thousand miles long by about two hun
dred and fifty in average breadth, so that
it is nearly four times as large as England
and Wales

Growth of Oregon aud Washing
[San Francisco Bulletin.

lSdI frdnclscO Dulttlu.J
There has been a large settlement in
Eastern Oregon and Washington Terri
tory this season. The immigration into
that region has been larger than at any
time since the original settlement of the
country by the whites The cause is not
hard to trace. The pioneer settler has
little now to fear from attacks by rowing
bands of Indians. The Nez Perces have
been removed entirely. The other pre-
datory tribes have been compelled to go
upon reservations. In addition one large
Indian reservation has been thrown open
to pre-emption and homestead settle
ment.
One effect of this large immigration is
the increased development of the agri-
cultural resources of the country. 1t has
been estimated this year at least 10000
tons of wheat will be shipped from East
ern Oregon and Washington Territory
through Walla Walla alone. This esti-
mate does not include vast stretch of
territory where the farmers must seek
another outlet. 1t is evident that East
ern Oregon and Washington Territory
will, in the future contribute largely to
the grain exports of the Pacific coast.
Another effect of the settlement of the
country is the impetus given to railroad
enterprise. The people are most anxious
to secare railroads, and the State Legisla-
ture has offered inducements to Eastern
capitalists to enter upon such undertak-
| ings,

DR.. Taylor had been called in to pre-
scribe for the Princess Elizabeth, a
daughter of George III. "The complaint
of the Princess was a continued pain and
stupor in the head. Of course, John

Of which plenty was grown in the garden

he clapped the Queen familiarly on the
back and said, well, thou art a
farrently woman (good-iooking) to be the
mother of such set of straight backed
lasses.' Queen Charlotte took the unus-

BURGLARS FOILED.
An Attempt to Get Into Strueve's Safe.

Burglars, some time between II o'clock
last night and / o'clock this morning, eff
fected an entrance into the jewelry store of
Mr.. H. r. Strueve, the jeweler, at No. 233
Walnut street, just opposite the STAR office
From footprints found in the rear of the
store the burglars came from the private
alley which separates the place from the
Crawford House. They pried off half
rotten chain which held down grating
over the rear portion of Strueve's cellar.
The burglars then found portion of a
stairway, and placing this under the raf-
ters. at The north side of the safe, which is
one of the Hall Safe and Lock Company's
make, with brace and bit bored holes in
the floor, making hole alb nut nine inches
WIDE and eighteen inches long.
On getting into the store they pried off
one of the heavy outside bars on the side
of the safe, and after breaking off the line
proceeded to chisel through the concrete
hole large enough for mans arm to get
through.
The steel plate inside. however, prevented
further success and it seems that after
working little longer the burglars de-
camped by the same way that they came.
Mr.. Strueve had placed all the valuables
in the safe except tray of gold pens and
holders, and, although these we're in glass
case, only few feet from the safe, not a
pen was taken.
A bundle of clothing which was on the
safe the burglars took along and dumped
it in the ash barrel.
Mrs. Miller, next door neighbor, says
that about / o'clock she heard considerable
noise in tle yard but she paid no attention
to the same, thinking that it came from the
bakers in the adjoining building.

German Servants.
[Macm llan's Magazine.1

I have never known German servant
able to make the ordinary calculations of
daily life AS well as most English ser
wants. Once away from school, an ordi-
nary girl never opens any book but her
Gesangbuch, nor does anything in the
way Of work except knit her own stock
ings. Her school-life over, she is turned
out into the world to earn her own liv-
ing, and knitting is the one thing she will
ever use Of all she has been taught. AS
to education in the proper sense OF the
word, she has had none. For eight years
she has been grinding away in an impas-
sive, uncomprehending way, and knows
as little of practical life as a girl with us
who has never been out Of district
school.
She is so untitled for service that the
people are coming to the conclusion it is
less trouble to do the work themselves
than to teach her, and the proposal some
times made in joke here of being ones
owns servant is fast becoming the &C
cepted order of things in Germany. The
crowds of servants out of place in Frank
fort alone, spoken of not long ago in
the newspapers, is ones proof of it. OF
course, hundreds do begin again, forget
all they have previously learned, and, in
the hands of mistresses who are never
weary of telling and who require nc
brains in their servants, become hard
working domestic machines. 1t is impos-
sible to help indorsing the opinion Of
them given by the author OF "German
Home Life"

Fire Alarms,

A small blaze on the roof of frame
house on the Madison Pike near the corner
Of blackberry street caused the alarm from
box 276 last evening about half-past four
o'clock. No damage worth speaking Of.
The alarm at 6 p m. was occasioned by a
little fire in the pitch factory of Long|ey
b Garlech near the Suspension Bridge.
The Babcock "squirt-gun" was sent down,
and in few minutes had the blaze ex-
tinguished.
Stickney & Gordons box factory at the
elbow of the canal was damaged to the ex-
tent of $3.50 by fire last night. Two alarms
were turned in for this fire owing to the dis
eovery of flames after the fire-boys had
started home.
