they left Tacoma about FIVE weeks
ago on a hunting expedition in the

after they started. and for the whole
of the time wandered in the woods,
living on what they could find, such
as lizards, toads, mushrooms, etc.
To add to their troubles. they were
poisoned by eating toadstools. One
OF them was left on the ground to die,
the other continuing his way. For

OF all misunderstood things III
daily life, the use Of the kerosene
lamp probably stands at the head.
First II lamp is bought end fitted
for use, and then filled day after day
and after longer or shorter period
does not give as good light AZ It
used to; then come complaints TO
the oil man or grocer about the
quality of the oil, when little rea-
son and judgment used would rem
edy the fault and remove the cause
of complaint. If persons using a
lamp would remember that the lamp
is a machine combining the furnace
and pump, and endeavor to learn the
principle Of using oil, much trouble
would be saved, for while no one ex-
poets to use a large machine without
learning to work it, any one can use
a lamp. The wick is the pump to
bring oil from the iount to the
blaze, and as there is always more
or less dust and dirt in the oil, the
wick soon becomes clogged up aud
cannot pump oil fast enough for
good light, so q complaint is made
when a new wick would have re-
moved the cause. As we burn the
oil out the lishtest parts burn and
leave the heavy oil, and as the lamp
is filed day by day the oil gradually
gets SO heavy that the draft is not
strong enough to pump it up. Then
the oil should be all turned out and
the lamp refilled with fresh oil. The
burner after time gets gummed up,
and the even flow of oil is disturbed
and causes smoky uneven light
that IS very vexatious. When the
wick needs cutting, somo scrape IT
off, others cut it SO unevenly that il
makes a pointy blaze, which so pro-
vokes one that they want to condemn
it. The burner is provided with a
great number of small holes TO pro-
vide mir to the end that perfect com.
bustion may take place and not to
collect dust and dirt until they are
entirely clogged up, and n smoky,
bad smelling light is the result; now {.
If in using kerosene we fll the lamp
up with white oil every day. and
once a week empty back the oil in
the lamp. and use new wick (cut
even and true) every week or two, be
sure the lamp burner is clean, and
have clear nice polished chimney,
we will find that the kerosene lamp
is a cheap and great luxury, and not,
as is often the case, n necessary nui-
sance which has to be used for lack
of anything better. A little care
daily in using lamps makes all the
difference between luxury and nui.
sance.

OF this amount 105 miles have
been completed. Grading has been
practically finished to within three
miles of E;lensburg, or "a miles
west o: North Yakima. Five miles
of track have been laid and small
force of men are at work. The Ia.
coma Ledger, usually semi-oflicially
informed, says:
The latest information from the
East is that the work of building
the remainder of the Crscade divi.
sion has been taken in hand by the
directors and that we may expect
activity very soon in this direction.
MIR. Bogue states that the work may
be prosecuted east of the summit
from Ellensburg to the tunnel
through the winter. and that ON the
western side some heavy rock may
be disposed of during the same
period; that is to say, he conld work
a large force of men advantageously
on both sides during the winter
months, carrying the track up to the
eastern face of the long tunnel by
the opening of spring. If the plan

creased only eight miles, with 5

except on the curves, where the

states that if the company will give
him chance he will have the cars

a year. The Ledger has a belief
that that chance will be given, and
very soon."

Italian Sportsmen.

All Italians are sportsmen in small

his days holiday, and proudly casts two
finches and robin redbreast on the
kitchen table, while he remarks, with
an assumed humility, There is the cac-

dcrly, the kitchen boy views him with
undisguised admiration; to have COM
passed the death of these three small
birds seems an act of unquestionable he
roism to him. The young man has bor-
rowed the gun, and most likely, though
also most illegally, the shooting license
from his neighbor, and it is not improb-
able that he has either begged or stolen
the trophies of the chase. ''Other ma.

the youth in voice like the warbling Of .

Marks didn't say anything, but he took
the lad to the station and booked him as

An Ingenious Machine.

By means of an ingenious machine.
wood intended for paper pulp is shaved
off SO finely that it is ready to go at once
into the boiler. The machine takes {.
log twelve inches in length, which it re-
wolves at speed of one thousand revo-
lutions per minute; and sharp cutter
shaves of shaving SO thin that it
would take seven hundred and fifty Of
them to make an inch, a nicely of exc.
cution which may be judged Of by the
fact that two hundred sheets of ordinary
paper are required to make an inch.
As described. the knife of the machine
has q sliding motion. and gradually
moves forward as the block decreases in
diameter, and in order that it shall not
become dull. and the fibre consequently
fail to be of uniform thickness, there l.
provided a unique arrangement of whet-
stones constantly at work ON the knife.

The Governor did not ask him to light

her aunt had come up stairs. She went
slowly toward the latter's room and

Edwina's entrance was unsteady.
Il have come to speak to you about

Miss Josephine replied with cold dis

Il think we found several reasons
when speaking of it this afternoon.
There was moments silence. Ed
wilma could still hear Kitty playing softly
in the drawing-room below. Then she
spoke again, little hoarsely:

me the key to grandfather room, that

lousy.

Edwina, in a clearer voice. s.Will you
please let me have the key!"
Miss Josephine Clay had risen to heI
feet; a certain wild look was upon her
face-a look that only came there in ex.
treme anger-a look that at any time
previous would have caused her niece to
trembie. But Edwina returned her gaze
without Ainching.
The elder lady's hand slipped slowly
into her pocket and slowly out again.
