CLIPPINGS FOR TIE CURIOUS.

Some of the crocodiles on the Fiji
islands are thirty feet long and weigh
1000 pounds.
A youth in Bohemia, being impris-
oned for five years for theft, spent
them in making a straw watch, five
centimetres in diameter. 1t was an
example Of patience and ingenuity
without parallel.
While a Piute youth was asleep I'M
der a tall tree in the Eel river region,
California. a huge nut fell with such
force straight down on his upturned
temple rs to kill him.
How many persons know that when
they speak Of a lumber room they are
alluding not to odd bits of timber, but.
TO the Lombards, or original pawn
brokers, whose apartments, filled with
miscellaneous pledges, gave sanction
to the use of this term?
In the yard Of a farmhouse at Au-
gusta, Ga, there is an oak tree in ap-
pearance, but instead of growing
acorns there are miniature formations
of a singular nature. The usual CUP
OF the aeon, and by which it is at
tached to the limb, is present, but is.
about the size of a pea, and contains
four small seeds. Birds ltck to the
t1ee in great numbers and feast upon
these seeds.
"A matchmaker in Newcastle, Eng
land, is said to have completed a set of.
three gold shirt-studs, in one of which
IS a watch that keeps excellent time,
the dial being about three-eights of an
inch in diameter. The three studs are.
connected by a strip of silver inside
the shirt bosom, and the watch con-
tanned in the middle one is wound up
by turning the stud above, and the
hand are set by turning the one be-
low.
1t is said that the first restrictive
liquor law aver passed in this country
was enacted in a little town in Rhode
Island. and read as follows: EVERY
sa~loon-keeper who sells more than one
gallon of liquor to a minor, shall be
fined 81 and costs" The first TEMPER
ance pledge remembered in circulation
in New England, was thus worded:
II solemnly swear to abstain from the
use OF intoxicating liquors on all occa-
slons except on training days. wedding
days. banquets and other great occa.
sions."

Making Bags.

hardly half a century has passed
SINCE the first bag was turned out in
New York in a sail makers loft near
h Battery. The man who first made
a business of bag-making carries on
business yet at the old stand, and his is
n of the two New York houses that
have refused to join the loan pool and
continue to do business independently.
The expectation of American grain.

ing machine gave an enormous i'm
petus to the business. Machines that
turn out a hundred bags an hour.
sewn and finished, have replaced the
slow and laborious work of hand-sew.
ing of the early days. Now over a
hundred kinds of sacks are made, from
the coarsest gunny-bag for cocoanuts
and cotton seed to the hobby shatuck-
EFT corn bag that makes serviceabIe
every day wear for Brazilian planters
at the end Of it's journey. Thirteen
kinds of sacks are made to hold coffee
alone. But all of these are sold.
Scarcely any of them come back. 1t
is a curious fact, for instance, that of
the two or three millions of coffee
sacks of a certain make made and
sent out annually from New York
lever one was known to return. Ev-
cry bag of coffee that arrives in this
port is resacked before it is started on
its land journey South or West. An
other sack Is simply drawn owe it, and
thus secured against catching cold in
our variable climate, the coffee is ship
ped by rail. These sacks are peculiar
and easily identified, did any
return by chance; but none ever do.

The ~Barley.Field.

BY summer airs awoke from sleep
! The bailey stirs; the ripples creep
In shimmering curves across it's lea,
Expanding like q restless sea
Beneath the azure radiant sleep.
What story trusted to lis keep
In foolish confidence and deep
Is this it babbles eagerly,
& Q summer airs?
Is it a tale to make eyes weepf
The thrilled and %quickened pulses leap7
Or hands to clap exultingly?
1t murnurs thus to you and me
AS DER its fair expanse you sweep,

"A SOCIAL Call In China.

An English lady, r. ID. Bridges, who
made the journey around the world a
few years ago, and who wrote very
pleasantly and kindly of the countries
She visited and the people she saw.
gives the following account Of a social
call which she made in China. It
presents a bright picture of the pecul-
lar etiquette which rules polite inter-
course among the Chinese. The risk
OF our mistaking this code is in sup
posing that those who follow it use
the language of compliment in its lit
eral sense.
"Then we passed on to see the pri-
Yate house of the .Ng' family. A
very desirable family mansion it was,
and Mrs. Ng, who was presenting Of
terings before the tablets of defunct
ancestors in the beautifully decorated
private chapel, received us politely.
Her little feet were thrust into em-
broidered slippers just two inches
long, and her cheeks were nicely
painted and pearl-powdered. Chinese
ladies get themselves up very
well.
"She and I stared at each other, and
bowed politely. and said many pretty
things perhaps the right thing TODD
wouli have been to ask her age, but
my Chinese is not sufficient for this.
Indeed. conversation between two
well-bred Celestials is Of a SOM what
fiowery and elaborate character.
"The polite Chinese, when he is
asked, What is your honorable
name?' replies
"'My ignoble name is So-and-so.'
"On the further inquiry as to where
his fine house is situated, he n wers,
MY miserable howell is ON the banks
Of a river
ION being questioned as to the num-
Der of his princely sons, he informs
you that his thrilling puppies are
four in number and when the health
Of his clever and beautiful wife is
made the object Of solicitude, though
he is really proud of her, he says, with
an air of Indifference, that his stupid
thornbush is as we'll as she deserves
to be- or something to that effect"

LADIES'
Two Ladies XIII. boar.

u ALL -
About two weeks ago two ladies
residing near Herbert Bass, Montgom-
cry Creek-one of them, about nine
teen years of age, and named Miss
Belle Hawkins. the other an elderly
lady named Mrs. E. A. Hawkins,
mother-in-law of the conceivable
passing a bear-trap neal where they
reside, discovered a bear with its foo.
caught under the door of a trap. Pro-
ceeding hastily to their residence and
arming themselves with a trusty old
rifle and an AK, they returned to the
trap, where his bearship was growing
and making terrible efforts to extri-
cate himself. The elderly lady mount
ed the trap and the daughter -inlaw,
at a few PAGES distant, placed the con-
tents of the rifle into old bruins brain.
at the crack Of the gun the old lady
applied blow after blow upon the head
of the hog-stealer, and after a hard
struggle succeeded in sending bruin to
other happy hunting-grounds. The
ladies skinned and dressed the bear,
the weight being nearly six hundred
pounds.-Redding (Cal. Independent.

REVIEW OF PORTLAND WHOLESALE MARKET

FOR THE WEEK ENDING, September 3d.
The business situation shows further improve
ment, and reports from various sections indicate
a healthy trade movement. The improvement
which was developed in the Flour market last
week continues and slight advance has been es-
tablished this week on some brands owing to the
rise in wheat. Corn has been unsteady through
out, with prices little under those of the previous
week. There has been no change of consequence
in Provisions, prices steady with fair business.
Sugars have been very firm and higher at 71ac for
and granulated and &c for Extra G. In the Fish
market the principal feature is the falling off in
the Mackerel catch, and the consequent stiffening
in prices,but trading is rather light further rise
Is asked by fishermen. Teas are quiet and I'M
changed. Oranges and Lemons are lower. Pota-
toes are easy at about Acc p bush in a jobbing
way. Cabbages are quoted at 596c y fb. Prices
are low on Apples; supply liberal.

1t is medicinal preparation, and, at
the same time, an elegant and cleanly toilet
article. Its action upon the scalp Is health
full. 1t nourishes the glands which support
the hair, and causes thin, dry hair to be-
come thick, soft, and vigorous. Itrestores
the color of youth to locks which have
become faded with age or disease; and
relieves and cures itching, caused by
humors of the scalp. DR.. George Gray,
Nashua, N. H., writes: cit gives me
pleasure to testify to the wonderful effects
produced by Halls Vegetable Sicilian Hair
Remover, as observed by me in very many
cases. IT WILL CERTAINLY RESTORE
THE HAIR TO ITS ORIGINAL COLOR. 1t
cleanses the head of dandruff, and leaves
the hair soft, glossy, and beautiful" f. r.
Sandhein, 1910 Spruce ST., Philadelphia,

number of preparations to prevent my
hair from falling out, and, realizing that I
was fast becoming bald, tried, as a last
resort, Halls Hair Remover. have used
only four bottles of the Remover, and am
perfectly satisfied that it is the best prepa-
ration in the market for checking the
falling out of hair, invigorating the hair
roots, and promoting new growth"
