formed ON reaching this city takes
strong root before it can be changed by
more intimate knowledge. Lewiston
is not specially inviting place. It il
situated on the Snake at the confluence
of the Clearwater, and has one long,
narrow, crooked street; that is all, ex-
cepting side street or two, more am
bilious in name than appearance. The.
population, which dozen years ago.
exceeded 5000, is now reduced to
less than l,l00. There are but two
or theee good buildings in town, nnzse-
~, the Hotel de France, Raymond
House and Masonic Hall. The bal
ance have dilapidated, forlorn, woe
begone look that plainly speaks Of
better days. In fact, our first i'm
pressions had SO firmly fixed them
selves on our minds that we imagined
we were in q desert, but this again
was tispellsd when on the day sue
ceeding our arrival We were kindly
invited by his Honor, Judge Buck, to
take short jaunt through the coun-
try on the plateaus. We complied,
and on arriving on the ''second bench
(as tho different plateaus are called)
We enjoyed the scssery. It was some.
thing new, at times picturesque,
dreamy, sentimental. The country

much qualification to every man, and wo-
man within circle of 100 miles Of Lewis
ton to k.,ow that Mr.. James Abegg, mer.
chant of this city, is studying their espe-
cial interests. Every steamer that comes to
Lewiston brings new invoices of goods, and
every mail for the past week has brought
him bills of merchandise to be forwarded as
soon as navigation is fully opened. 1t has
heretofore been almost impossible to find in
Lewiston perfect assortment Of merchan.
disc such as Mr.. Abegg is now laying in for

departments in his store arc being filled
with complete assortment of the hest quail
ity of goods. Mr.. Abegg has one Of the
largest and finest stores in Lewiston. His
long business career in Arizona and Califor.
mia is sufficient evidence to the people Of this
city and country that be is a man Of wide
experience and gnsl business qualities, and
that his stock Of g'nis are certainly sc.

AN Australian paper states the ami
versary of the natal day of the thous-
andth sheep born in japan has just been
celebrated there with much festivity by
its owner, an American named Jones,
many high dignitaries and notabilities
being present on the occasion. Sheep
were first introduced into Japan by Mr..
Jones, only few years ago, and he now
holds flock, most of which are of Mon
golian breed. The fact that vast tracts
of land still remain uncultivated in the
insular empire renders sheep farming a
more remunerative undertaking than
might be supposed, though the domesti-
cation of the animal in its new home
has been accomplished under very great
difficulties, owing to the climate of ia
pan differing so widely from that of
most countries where the sheep is indig-

AN mixing is given through the
press of the character and extent of the
gorgeous demonstration to occur at
Chicago next summer on the occasion
of the Triennial Conclave of the Knights
Templar of the United States, which
begins ON the 10th of August and con-
tinues four days. 1t is expected that
10000 Sir Knights will be in line on
that occasion, that 100000 Masons will
be present in the city, and that the
pageantry, as a whole, will surpass any
thing of the kind ever witnessed in
America, or perhaps in the world.

A TRAMP who was not very shabby

A TRAMP who was not very shabby
got dinners for week in franklin
county, Mass, by pretending that he de-
sired to buy farm, and accompanying
the farmer on walk of inspection, so
timed as to bring them near the house
when the meal was ready. One day he
tried this trick on man who had heard
of his doings A laborer was secretly
ordered to walk him for three hours
through fields and woods, and when he
returned to the house, footsore and
hungry, ~ second laborer was delegated
to kick him into the highway.

A Man Whose Feelings We're Frost
bitten.

The spectacle of man, in somber
black, astride the hydrant in the clear
moonlight, at o'clock in the morning,
writes Hewitt, of the Providence Jour
nal, is one calculated to attract the at
tention of police officer, who, at this
hour, is keenly sensitive to any sight
and sound. SO the policeman went to
him, raised his bowed head from his
breast, and asked him what was the
matter. Frost" he replied, "too sud-
den (hic) frost. It's killed the tobacco
crop. Now, / don't smoke nor chew
myself, but / have host of friends
that do (hic) smoke and do (hic) chew,
and I'm willing to render a (hic) quid
pro quo. see from your smile that
you tumble, policeman. You are a
beautiful, beautiful, beautiful star, you
are (hic). / tell you I'm awfully sensi-
tive to this crop business. Why, when
the Glove crop went up l was heart
broken. Just so with the tea crop. ]
took (hic) on beyond all account. ]
cried like baby when the cinnamon
buds were blasted. / feel like the
blasted hopes (hic), blast me, if 1 don't,
policeman, and every year have to go
through the yellow-peach sorrow. Crop
cut off prematurely in its prime, and
now I'm bruised (hic) and bowed down
and broke up about this tobacco (hic)
business. Don't take me to the station
star OF the evening, beautiful star, but
let me sit here (hic) and weep. I'll
shame this hydrant so it won't leak .
drop for the next fifteen years (hic)
Goodnight, beautiful star. Continue
to patrol your nightly transit" The
policeman concluded that the wide
wide world was the place for such ,
sparkling man as he was, and so he lef
him alone in his sorrow.

THE extraordinary statement that
Mr.. Robert Packer, while travelling in
Nebraska, had conversed with his wife
and friends at his home at Sayre, Pa,
by means of a telephone, though dis
lance of 1000 miles interviewed, is thus
modified by the Scientific american:
"We now learn, on gooo authority, that
though Mr.. Packers friends received
his communication by telephone, it was
not sent by Mr.. Packer. The message
was sent from Nebraska to Mauch
Chunk, Pa, by telegraph; thence it was
telegraphed to the Sayre office of the
Pennsylvania Canal and Railroad Com
pany, of which Mr.. Packer is Superin-
tendent, and from there it was trans
mitted to Mr.. Packers house by tele-
phone, falling short of the first report
of the telephones performance by some
1899 miles and fraction.

Australia, with Tasmania, is only q
little less in area than Europe. The
hottest climate in the world PROBABLY
occurs in the desert interior of Austria
liza. Capt. Stuart hung thermometer
on a tree shaded both from sun and
wind. 1t was graduated to 1877 deg.
F., yet SO great was the heat of the air
that the mercury rose, till it burst the
tube, and the temperature must hry.e
been at least 1913 deg. F., apparently the
highest ever recorded in any part of
world. For three months Capt. Stuart
found the mean temperature to be over
lOl deg. f. in the shade. Nevertheless
on the southern mountains and table
lands three feet of snow sometimes falls
In day. Snow-storms have been
known to last three weeks, the snow "
ing from four to fifteen feet in depth
and burying the cattle. Australia is a
land of drought and food. The annual
rainfall at Sydney has varied from
twenty-five to eighty-two inches. Lake
George, near Goulburn, was, in 1924,
twenty miles long and eight miles
broad. 1t gradually shrank till, in 1887.
1t became quite dry, and its bottom was
converted into q grassy plain. In 1866
IL was lake again, seventeen feet deep:
two years later it was only two feet
deep, and i'll 1876 it was twenty feet in
depth.

IT is curious to note how nearly
every invention that has proved to be
of service and q blessing to mankind
has been the result of what is popular
ly termed an accident. 1t is well
known that many great discoveries in
the arts, science, and in mechanism
have come to the knowledge OF expert
mentors in line quite different from
the one in which they were operating,
and what they called a blunder at the
time led the way tie the most important
results. 1t is said that the Goodyear
process of utilizing rubber was purely
an accidental discovery. and now it is
claimed that Mr.. Edison by fortunate
accident discovered that carbonized
paper, instead of platinum, was what
he was after.

AN impecunious young man started
af,ot from San Luis Obispo to Soledad
in California. Getting fatigued and
desperate, be resolved to become a
highwayman. He had no weapon, and
was physically insignificant; but strate-
gy more than made up for these lacks.
He built a fire in the woods near the
road, 70 give the impression that a
party vas camped there, put his hat and
coat ona log to represent second man,
and when a stage came along shouted
"ThrowOut that box, or you are dead
man." The driver dropped the treasure
box, which contained 1920, and was
glad to get away with his life.

SOME Harvard students offered the
printer $500 for an advance copy of the
questions to be submitted to them at
an examination. The printer had COM
pleted the Job and parted with the
sheets; but he obtained an old set of
questions, put them in type and struck
off proof, which he sold to the stu
dents for $500. They did not discover
the double quality of the fraud until
examination daY.

STATISTICS of the business of Chica-
go for the year 1879 havo been pub
lished. The increase in the years
mercantile trade il set at 20 per cent.
There was no particular increase in
banking capital, but the deposits of the
banks belonging to the Clearing House
were increased from $31 ,050,00 at the
close of 1873 to $43. $685. 900 in 1879.
The capital of the Clearing House banks
now aggregates $10,656,0O0. The total
receipts of -four and grain-four re-
duced to wheat to 133. S42.-
1877 bushels: of lumber !, ATT, 7S7 900 feet,
and of hogs to 6.39l, $50 head. The grain
receipts were about the same, in the ag-
gregate, as 1878. Lumber was about
800, O00,0 feet larger.

danes were extinguished as soon as
POSSIBLE, but he was burned SO badly
that he lived but few hours.

THE Luxembourg Palace, where the
French Assembly recently met for the
first time, was built in 1912 by Marie de
Medicis, and made over by her to her
son, CASTOR d'OrleaAs, when she was
sent into exile through the influence of
Cardinal Richelieu. At his Heath the
palace became the property of his
daughters, Mile. de Montpensier and
Elizabeth de Guise, by the last-named
of whom it was made over to Louis
XIV, and so became crown property.
From 1888 to the Revolution it was oc-
cupied by various Princes, the last being
the Compile de Provence. Attic break
out of the Revolution it was converted
into prison, and among those guillo-
tined from there were the Viscompte
Beauharnais, first husband of the EN-
press Josephine, and Gen. de Broglie,
grandfather of the present Duke. After
the 18th Brumaire Napoleon had "Pal-
ace of the Directory" changed to Pal.
ace of the Consulate" over the portico.
