Malaria Attitudes.

While malaria belongs chiefly to
low-lying districts, it may. under
favorable conditions exist at great
elevations. On the Tuscan Appoint
mes it is found al height OF LOO
feet above sea level ;on the Pyrennees
and Mexican Cordilleras, 5000 feet;
on the Himalayas, 6. 400 feet; on the
Island of Cevlon. 6. 500 feet, and on
the Andes, Il, 900 feet Under ordin-
airy circumstances, however, a certain
moderate altitude affords immunity
from malaria. The elevation of en-
tire security is not positively kncwn,
but it has been Appropriated as fol-
lows: In Italy. 400 TO 500 feet; In
Californis, LOCO feet; in the Appala-
chan cham of the United States,
3, 600 feet; in the West Indies, 1000
feet In any of these regions malaria
may drift up ravines to an indefinabie
height.

Cur Cheap Postage.
Washington Special.

1t has been out in dispatches sent

postage TO one cent throughout the
United States 1t is improbable that,
whatever effort may be made. the

the LIST of July pext the rates of pss-
tage In the United States viii be lew

world After that time the rate will
be two cents for each ounce or frac-
ton thereof, instead of half an ounce,
as at present The rate in England is
one penny for each ounce, and as the
penny is the equivalent two cents,

THE FARE PAssENGAIRE

He was natty traveller,
With scads Of ready cash,
A paid-up Pullman passenger,
And somewhat on the mash.
When he had come inside the car,
And laid aside his grip,
He saw female passenger,
Who seemed to him quite flip.
He zotieed that the girl was fair,
Although the light was dim,
And having wunk a wink at her.
She Wlnk wink at bin.
"Ha, ha," he cried, Il like this style,
It's something very green,
And by my halidom, swear,
The fairest have seen.
So when the knight assayed word,
And asked il he might ride
A simple little mile or two
BY so much beauty's side.
She said, "of course" and down he Hoped.
And talked and talked and talked,
Until the maiden fair and green.
Began TO wish he'd walked.
And then he sought TO take her hand
She kept 1t from his reach,
Which only seemed to stir him up
To further powers OF speech,
At last he found the dainty thing,
And with 1t found its mate,
Casped tenderly as II the two
Possessed a common fate.
Great Scott. What's tbis." he yelled an
jumped.

the territory in which the rates pre-
vail In Great Britain is limited in
comparison. It is true that the reduc
ton of letter postage year or more

writing, aaa the sales OF postage
stamps have far exceeded the expec-

A Sparr0W's Nest.
Hartford (Ct.) Times.

An awning in front Of an office en-
Main street was let down few days
ago after being up all WRITER. In It's
folds were a great variety of things,
the most noticeable being sparrow's
nest, in which were five eggs. 1t was
perfect little nest, and It's arrange>
ment was striking. The birds had
caught 1t up by means of a string so
that it formed a swing. The string
was passed from one side of the nest
to the awning rod, and on the other
side the fastening was through little
staple ring in the prick work Of the
building. In order to make the string
hold fast in this ring, it appeared to
human vision as a necessity that it
should be wound round twice; the in
stinct oil, the birds were equa to the
mechanical situation. They put the
string around twice, and it was thus
held fast. Unconsclously this little
home, in the process of spring clean .
ing up for business purposes, is now
broken up and it seems pity-after
all the little birds had done to make
it comfortable.

One OF the most enjoyable dances
ever given in the city WAS the ball
Of Thursday that took place In the
Masonic hall. The Masons Of our
city aided In making the winter pass
off pleasantly, by giving a series of
dances In their lodge room, to which
members Of the order and only II
fewlnvited friends have taken part.
They have been bright Oases in the
long dredry winter months, and
those who have had the good fortune
to take part will look back to those
occasions as cheerful "reminiscences
Of the winter Of 'S4 and 's5. There
was an unusually large attendance
last evening, and the devOtees Of
Terpsichore trlpped It until the wee
sma' hours. One or two visitors
state that the dance was by long
odds the most pleasant one they
have ever attended In the territory
duringla residence Of twenty years
1t Is the intention Of the order to
close the season the latter part Of
February with a gnnd invitation
party, at which those on the outside
Of the pale Of the lodge will have II
chance to take part.

1t will be seen by the proceedings
in another column that the first call
for the purpose Of organizing a Spo-
kane county medical association met
with better success than the origlna-
tors Of the movement really hoped
for. Besides those present letters
were received from a number OF
physicians who favored the scheme
and regretted their inability to at
tend. 1t Is evident that the move
will result In the fnal organization
Of the society, and furthermore, that
1t will prov very beneficial to every
member. We hope 1t will become
one Of the permanent institutions Of
our growing city.
