The Washington Monuments the
Washington monument approaches ,mpletion
lit is now 40 feet high and is to he 555-
one can realize what a magnificent shaft it
will be. A hull, gradually sloping, which is
only 555 feet high, is a very little hill, but IA
column which is that heighth and only fifty
feet square at its base, standing on plain, is
a mighty column. Already it seems to bury
its head in the clouds Trajln's column and
the Column Vendome are pigmies compared
with it. Half a dozen Cleopatra's needles
could he concealed inside of it. The great
Gre monument in Londoa would look dwarftd
beside it. If it were built up through the
domes Of St Paul in Tendon, or ST. Peters,
in Rome, it would loom above them like a
vast spre, and it would far overtop the no
blest tower of the wonderful Cathedral at

Deep Water scraping for Soft Crabs

4
The catch Of soft crabs at Crisfeld and
throughout the waters Of the Tangier sound
has been materially larger this year than was
ever known. Crisfed has alwa been A
great shipping point for crabs, both soft AID
hard-shell, but this summer the fisheries have
been so productive that the income from them
has grown into very handsome proportions.
1t has heretofore been the theory OF fishermen
that crabs always shed their shells in shallow
water, and the old time plan Of tding along
the snore with crabnet and dipping them
frsm The shadows has been rigidly respected
Ia Tangier waters they supplemented thi,
with trot-line, by which the hard shell
crabs were caught and penned until The change
Of the moon, when the "pcelers' would drop
their shells They were then shipped as soft
crabs While the two methods just mention
ed are still in vogue for procuring soft crabs
they now practice ''scraping' for them ia
deep water aud succeed in taking immense
quantities. One fisherman is said to have
captured 1000 by scrnping the channel 10
one dly. This new plan is about the same as
scraping for oysters, with the difference that
small canoes and sklffs can be employed
whereas brosans and bugeyes are the smallest
boats which can I've utilized in scraping for
hivalves. The new methoi, which carried
with 1t the discovery that tine crab also sheds
in deep water, was found out By some oys
terers who were scrapng rather late in the
season, and took a number of soft crabs from
the bottom of the channel. Many persons
are now engaged in serapiug for soft cratEs q

Undoubtedly she is expected

painful failure?
This attempt to make the
modern girl a compromise be-

but it is doomed to the fate OF
all previous attempts at inn

A Strange Experience.
BY AMOTO.
(From tie Ansty0iaadN.)

[ am about to relate the
one extraordinary and mex
plicable experience of my life.
| shall not attempt to account
for it. | shall simply mar
rate what occurred and leave
my readers to choose their
own explanation, if they can
find any. ! may state that
at the time ! was in the en-
joyment of my usual health,
having, in fact, returned to
town only a few days before
from a three weeks holiday
in the country. AS far as |

in the supernatural and mi

indeed, regard me as an UNI
usually prosaic and matter-of

sceptical in demanding that
statements of an exceptional
character shall be supported
by the clearest possible evil
dence.
With these few preliminary
remarks | proceed to relate

on IA certain autumnal after

A NEW GIRL.

ICSlCN bilN iVl''iN W. w ~
fectly satisfactory, and when
any one claims to have devised |
Il new and improved style of |
girl, the claim usually proves,
upon examination, to be a
ridiculous failure.
From the West there comes
the story of a newly invented
girl of startling originality.
She differs from previous girls
in the fact that her left leg
is attached to her right
shoulder, while her right arm
occupies the place usually
occupied by a left leg. Girls
with extra limbs or with no
limbs at all have frequently
been exhibited to an I'M
sympathising public, but the
distribution of the new girls
limbs is something absolutely
new, and as such deserves
serious attention.
The claims made in behalf
of the new girl are many, and
some of them at least appear
tobe justifiable. ForeNample,
it is asserted that a woman
who has hand where the
left foot is usually found can
pick up pins and other small
objects from carpets without
STOPPING. She can also hold
rug in place while sweeping
it, and can drag cat out
from under a sofa and turn
her out of the room with the
greatest ease. When she
drops her prayer-book in
church she can pick it up and
place it on the seat beside her
without attracting the
slightest attention. and she
can climb into Il carriage with
the aid of her hand-foot-if
it may be so called-with an
ease and grace of which the
ordinary woman is quite in
capable.
Having Il foot where Other
women have a right hand, the
new style of girl would make
an admirable family discipline
arian, since she could admin
lister punishment to children
without the trouble of remov-
ing her slipper, She would
have an immense advantage
over other girls when wearing
beautiful and costly hosiery
since she could display tn.
stocking on her right upper
limb with no more improperly
than is Involved in displaying
neatly fitting glove. SO, too
her advantages for displaying
II neat and artistic boot would
be quite unequalled, and sh'
would be able to button boil
her own boots with less trouble
than ordinary women find il
putting on their gloves.
These are claims which, i
must be admitted, are wei
founded. We may, however
concede everything that j
claimed in behalf of the ne,
girl and still disapprove o
hen, What is this girl to d
when on receiving an accep
table offH of marriage sh
wishes tot clasp her arm
around her lovers neck
Will he be likely to fec

The bill has passed the house re-
pealing the presumption, timber cu!-
ture and desert land laws, and
amending the homestead law so that
no more public lands shall be sold,
except mineral lands and town.sites,
but that they shall be reserved for
actual and bona fide settlers. There
is, however, a provlso that the law
for the sale Of timber lands in Cali
fornla, Oregon, Nevada and Wash .
ington Territory, shall not be affect
ed by this bill. The wholesale and
fraudulent acquisition of our Puget
Sound timber lands by the saw-mill
companies will therefore be allowed
to go on as before, until all the re-
naming lands are wrested from the
settlers by the already overgrown
saw-mill companies, which have
f audulently acquired many thou
sands Of acres by employing men to
locate the land, and after these have
secured their titles, have the land
transferred to themselves.

Dear Sir: The people Of Orcas

we hope TO accomplish by securing
the joint action OF the people of the
other islands. They adopted con-

The Wound Of Robespierre.

Almost all the historians OF the French
Revolution have represented the famous
wound Of Robespierre a self-inflicted.
Most Of them state that the bullet he
aimed ct his own head broke the Jaw.
bone. and thus made 1t impossible for
him TO speak. III. Theirs, however,
makes lighter Of the wound, and in his
account Of the scene 1T the Hotel de
Vile. says: Robespierre drew pistol
upon himself, but the ball, striking be-
meath the under lip. only pierced the y
dangerous wound" This version is now
in process Of being altogether upset by
m account OF the circumstances given in
the pages OF La France. This journal
reproduces . deposition made by the
sendarme Media or MERIDA, afterward .
ColoEsl in the army aud Baron Of the
empire, and some other papers which
support the story contained in It. The
gendarms says:
81 knew the elder Robespierre no
was sitting in an arm-chair-this was in
the hall OF tho Hotel de Ville-having his
elbows on his knees and his head Leaning
OH his left hand. Imade rush at him,
aud. presenting my sword to his heart,

At these words l took one OF my pistols
in my left hand, and, stepping one pace
aside, fred 1t him. intended to hit
him in the heart. but the ball struck his
chin and broke his left jaw" This story
u confirmed by an engraving OF the
period, representing Media in the act Of
discharging his pistol, and by the fact
that Media was saort'y aiterward pre-
,entsd to the Convention and warmly
complimsnted by ths PEesidAnt upon
having committed this assault. Tho

1t is reported that the Michigan
Lumber Company has its men To-
eating the lands as fast as they are
laid out in the three new townships
now being surveyed on the Sank
river in Skagit county. This ac-
QUESTION ofsuch large tracts of val
liable timber lands by saw mill CON-
panies will prove a formidable bar
rier against the settlement and de-
velopment Of the county. Not on
ly is the actual settler prevented
from occupying the land, but the
valuable timber is all carried away
to enrich some person who will do
little to improve the locality where
the timber grows. This bars out SET
Element till it will suit the mill
companies to remove the timber,
which may not be for years. After
the timber is removed the land will
be sold to actual settlers who will
undertake the formidable task of
clearing the land and developing the
country without the aid which the
sale OF the timber would afford IN
the ACCOMPLISHMENT Of the task.
Under these circumstances q test
case ought to be thrown into the
courts to determine whether the
acquisition Of these large tracts of
land by the mill companies is not
an evasion OF the Timber Land Law,
which limits the sale Of such land
to quantities of l60 acres to one per.
son.
