Pen Cleaning.

A writer in German paper states that
it is a custom in offices in that country to
have a sliced Potato in the desk in com
mercial houses. He does not state whether
the esculent should be raw or not, but the
probability is that it is boiled. The use of
the potato is to clean steel pens, and GER
orally act as pen wiper. 1t removes all ink
crust, and gives peculiarly smooth flow
to the ink. lie also states that the Ham
burg clerks pass new pens two or three
times through gas flame, and then the
ink will flow freely

tide flowing through her, is well known
To many Of our readers. For years pre-
yious to 1915 she run on the route be-
tween Portland and the Sound ports
under the name of the California. and
was the only steamship of any class then
running to Puget Sound. She WAS a
wooden propeller, 6i3 tons register, and
for years was considered By people of
the Sound rs something wonderful fro2,
tbs fact that she vas the largest vessel
seen on these waters. At tie time OF
the mystic ious disappearance of the
steamer Geo. s. Wright, then running
10 Alaska, the California WAS taken
from her old route and placed on that
between Portland and Alaska. where she
has ever since remained. Daring the
number of years she run to Sound
she at different times was commanded
by the following gentlemen: Captains
Gardner tnow OF victoriaJ. john Hayes,
Chas. Thorne. George Ainslie, and Car

fornia was brought out some two years
ago in order to save confusion the name
of the California WAS changed to that
Of the Eureka. Full particulars Of the
wreck will be found in another column.
