CIGARS AND ToBACCo.-We call the atten-
ton of the dealers in cigars and tobacco to
following section of the United States revised
statutes: ''Sec ., 406. Whenever any
stamped boxes of cigars cheroots, cigarettes
are emptied it shall be the duty of the per-
son in whose hands the same is, to destroy
utterly the stamps theron. And any person
who wilfully neglects or refuses so to do shall,
for each such otfense, be fined not exceeding
fifty dollars, and imprisoned not less than
ten days nor more than six months. And
any person who fraudulently gives away or
accepts from another or who sells, buys or
uses for packing cigars, cheroots, or cigaretts,
any such stamped box, shall, for each such
ofense, be fined not exceeding one hundred
dollars, and be imprisoned not more than one
year"
Many dealers are little careless in this
matter, and before they know it some rev.
enue official comes into the shop and snaps
them up, the result being a few hundred dol
lars fine. There are even now several officials
going about on the coast looking for just such
cases, and they will be in Vancouver one of
these days.

The southern portion of Europe
suffered from tremendous storms and
floods recently. In Italy and on
the Mediterranean, the whole coast
is strewn with wrecks, and at many
ports small crafts were blown out to
sea and lost. The new quay at Posil

In the interior the storm was equally
violent. AT Pragginolo, near Siena,
church was blown down while peo-
pie were at mass, killing two priests
at the altar and three other persons,
and wounding twenty-four persons.
A similar catastrophe occurred at
Oantauro, where the vault of q
church yielded to the force of the
storm and killed the priest celebrat-
ing mass.

SKooKUM SMASH The Astorian says
that an Indian from Lewis river, now a resi-
dent of Boston, Mass, occupies prominent
and responsible position in a wholesale busi-
ness house, receives a salary of 81, 500 per
year, and, is soon to marry the handsome
and accomplished daughter of his employer.
His name is Arthur johnson, son of Andrew
johnson, an intelligent and somewhat famous
Indian who used to live on Lewis river. On
his fathers death, seven years ago, Arthur,
turned his small personal property into cash,
and started out to see the world. After a
series of adventures, he finally found himself
in Boston. He had learned to 'read English
tiuently, when boy, and also to write a fair
hand, and by the time he had reached the
hub had assumed a civilized air which with
his education, qualified him for business and
society. His Indian ancestry gave him ro-
mantle stock in trade, and he soon found
himself prospering in business and in a small
way social lion.

The Camera OhScnra.

One of the wonders of New York is
Central Park, and the wonder of Central
Park is the camera obscura Octagonal. >
1t is little eight-sided building, sur
mounted by small turret furnished with
a movable lens. Directly undcr the tur-
ret is table about five feet in diameter
with highly polished surface, and on
it the scenery of the park and surround
ing country is reflected from the lens
with marvellous distinctness. Even the
country on Long Island, across the East
river, is plain y visible, as il one were
looking at it through telescope.
The room will accommO Odate about a
dozen people at u time. 1t is darkened,
through the lens and is thrown on the
table. 1t is most marvellous sight:
One may see his friends in any part of
the park. The slightest ripple on the
lake, or the movement of the leaves on
distant trees, is vividly shown on the
tab Ie, and all the varied and beautiful
colors are preserved in the moving, min
iature picture. Detectives repair to the
Octagonal when suspected parties
are supposed to be in the park. A man
or woman sitting or walking half \ mile
away cannot escape the eye of science.
Among the many objects to be seen are,
Masonic Temple, the Catholic Cath
edral, the churches of upper New York,
and fhe Palisades of the Hudson, each
appraring in turn as the turret revolves.
When one wishes to examine a particu-
lar portion ofthe park, the superintend-
ent gives the machine turn, and the
spot appears on the table, while the be-
wildered spectator thinks ofAladdin and
his lamp, and wonders why, if the days
of enchantment have really come, the
magician does not transform the dingy
room into a palace worthy of such splen-
did scenes

wonderful Mirages in Arizono.

| An imaginative correspondent, writ
| ing from Arizona, says: at was only
few weeks ago, between Gila Bend
and Maricopa, that l witnessed a most
marvellous and exquisite series of
transformations reflected by the phe-
nomenon of mirage. The Sierra de las
Estrella mountain had entirely disap-
peared, and in its place was walled
city upon the margin of a beautiful lake
A! at once the city disappeared; cas-
tellated mountain rose in the middle of
the lake and turned into palace, which,
after balancing itself in the air, toppled
over and sank into the bosom of the
tranquil waters. Then arose u multi
plicitv of grotesque elevations. which
rapidly assumed the character of fairy
islets, with lakelets within themselves; {;
then, owing 20 the unequal densities and
retracting powers of the adjacent strata
OF air, the isletS became transformed in
to castles, cathedrals, buttresses, cubes,
torllt1cations and other rock systems of
architecture, which only survived, how
ever to vanish on perfect completion.
Again rose an object which resembled a
magnificent opera house or cathedral.
with the requisite description of gothic
windows and domes, balustrades, i'm
posing arches and doorways and many
colored lamps. This last picture gave
way to an immense tube, which seemed
to be suspended in the air, until shiv-
cred into almost infinitesimal fragments,
each of which assumed q variety of
shapes, with serrated borders, and soon
vanished or became truncated below the
horizon. Then arose an immense island,
in shape not unlike Alcatras; again, it
closely resembled Gibraltar, lifted in
the air, all the while presenting an as
pect as threatening as either of the
strongholds above named. Then came
the pyramids, and anon, the Casa
Grande, precisely as it exists fifty miles
away. Presently a broad white scarf
seemed to have been thrown over the
last named elevation, yet permitting
formation like the picture of the "Rock
of Ages

man makee new plan-that all"
" How do you make new plan,

"Well, new law biz ess makee some

"What will you do?"

halfa dozen tall earthen jars of an oval
shape, said:
White man makee new law bizness,
