THE steamship Queen Of the Pacific,
which sailed from Victoria and Sound
ports for San Francisco last Friday
took to the bay city eight carloads OF
coal oil, the first irstallment of large
shipment over the Canadian Pacific
Railway. This means cheaper coal
oil for San Francisco, and is blow to
the Standard Oil Company which by
means of special contracts with the
railway companies has been able to
maintain, heretofore, monopoly OF
the sale of their product on this coast
The Canadian Pacific refused to be a
party to any such agreement and is
now transporting oil for other COM
panies at an exceedingly low rate.

to the acrei is not uncommon, and often
times, under favorable circumstances,
a greater yield is produced. William
Cochrane, the Sheriff-eleet of King
county, whose word on all matters,
barring politics, is as good as his bond,
authorizes the publication of the fol-
lowing statement: Last Spring
had twelve acres of land on my Black
River farm, adjoining Governor
squire's, planted with potatoes. The
seeds used were of the Early Rose,
Kidneys and White Elephant varieties.
The crop was put in by an Irishman
who did not know much about farm
ing, and who put the rows so close to-
gether that they could not be culti-
waited to any advantage. I did not ex-
pect much Of crop from that twelve
acre patch, but, strange as it may
seem, 1 dug from that patch 1900
bushels of splendid potatoes, an aver
age of 800 bushels per acre. That
is fact. You may publish it, and if
anybody wants further proof of the
fact, can furnish it to their satisfac-
ton"

To crystalize flowers, construct or
procure some baskets made with pli-
able copper wire into fanciful forms,
and wrap them with gauze. Into
these tie at the bottom, violets, ferns,
geranium leaves-in short, any fow-
ers except full blown roses, and sink
them into solution of alum Zone
pound of the alum to one gallon of
warm water), after the solution has
cooled. The colors will then be pre-
served in their original beauty, and
the crystallized alum will hold faster
than when from hot solution. When
you have light covering of crystals
that completely covers the articles, re-
move the basket carefully and allow it
to drip for twelve hours.

SECRETARY Lamar has Just had oc-
casion to reverse Land Commissioner
Sparks law. Mr.. Sparks lately de-
clded that "a woman who makes
homestead entry, and subsequently
marries before completing the same
forfeits her right thereby to acquire
title to the land" Public policy re-
quircs that marriage should be favored
as the natural and divinely sanctioned
social relation, rather than be made the
occasion of punishment or loss OF
privileges. Mr.. Lamar says that the
the marriage Of a woman does not of
necessity prevent her remaining upon
and improving her tract.

Variety of Uses For Paper.
[Boston Journal of Commerce.1

Paper, being nearly air tight, will ex-
| clude cold and should be used more
than it now is. Builders place paper
between boards and clapboards of Il
house, and we would do well to follow
their example in smaller matters.
Farmers have found that the extra
warmth secured by tacking several
| thicknesses of newspapers around the
inside of henhOuses, etc, has saved eX-
!! ira food. A layer of paper under a
carpet, is preferable to straw, which is
sometimes used, and if the paper
made for this purpose cannot be OBJ
tanned, several layers of newspapers
will do nearly as well. Papers spread
between bedcoverings will take the the
place of extra blankets. A folded pa
per is an excellent lung protector !;
one over the chest and another the
shoulders, under the outside garment,
would often save cold and perhaps
pneumonia. Dissolved in flour paste,
newspapers may be made useful filling
for cracks in floors and elsewhere.
Scraps of paper, wet and scattered
over the floor, when sweeping, will
settle the dust in the room as
well as brighten the carpet. Bits of
paper, with soap suds, are effectual in
cleaning bottles, and are easily re-
moved with water. Greasy dishes and
kettles if first rubbed with paper,
wash much easier; the paper absorbs
the grease and is all the better for
kinding the fire. A grease spot can
often be taken out Of a carpet or gar
mcnt by placing two or three layers OF
paper over it, then put warm iron on
the paper. The heat softens the
grease and the paper absOrbs it, and
by changing paper and iron occasion
ally all the grease will disappear.
pCio VI tiSSNN IaBNi
ferable to cloth for cleaning lamp
chimneys, windows, mirrors, etc, as it
leaves no lint; also for knives, spoons
and tinware after securing; and stove
will not need backing so often if now
and then rubbed with paper. Bowls
and glasses without covers, may be
used for jelly by cutting round piece
OF paper the size OF the top, dip in
brandy and press down evenly upon
the Jelly; cut another cover of softer
paper large enough to paste down on
the outside of the jar. Paper in
bread and cake tins protects the loaf
from burning and insures its safe re-
moval from the tin; by this help tin
with holes in it may be used. Laid
over loaf of cake in the oven, paper
is also protection, but unless it is
warmed first the cake may settle. Cut
in strips and curled with the scissors,
writing paper makes good filling for
pillows and hammocks, or the large
pillows sometimes used to show off
the elaborate "shams." Postal cards
and thin pasteboard can be cut in
strips for lamplighters; newspapers
for the same use are cut in strips and
rolled.

THE authorities of the Wisconsin
Central railway have issued an order
requiring the instant dismissal of any
employee who might drink even beer
whether off or on duty There was a
good deal Of opposition to the order
at first, as it infringed upon the rights
of individuals, etc, but it has worked
SO well that other large railway cor
porations are considering the propriety
of adopting the same course.

| WASHINGTON, February ll.-Representa-
tive Gibson says he ia being fully advised
of the momement, headed by Governor
Wilson and Judge Jackson TO defeat his
denomination by the nomination of W. 1.
Thompson for Congress. He says he has
received letters from almost every section
of the district telling him what his oppon'
ents are doing. The REGIsTER representa-
tive asked Mr.. Gibson to day if he had any
further information concerning the alleged
crusade against him.
"Yes, sir, | have" was the reply. Il
have additional news from Wayne county
stating that Mr.. Thompson was at Cer5do
on las. Saturday and declared himself a
candidate for Congress, and this letter
which / received says Thompson under
took to make people believe that if were
nominated could not be elected, but no
was set down dpon BY the Democrats OF
the place. He said he was brought out BY
Wilson aud Okey johnson. My friends
told him that it is the wish OF the county
that should succeed myself and that they
meant to see that it was done
Mr.. Gibson does not seem very much
worried over the state OF affairs
in his district. He rather
believe that the alleged Wilson
johnson movements vii. result in strength
ening rather than weakening him with the
Demo rats and people OF his district. He
is busy taking care OF his Legislative duties
here and processes not to be worried sbou;
The fight on him in tie rear. He, however,
SAYS be expects to bs in Cabell county on
the first day Of the spring term OF the Cir
cult Court, when be hopes to have an op-
portunity 70 address his constituents OF
that coanty. He says be would be GLAD
on that occasion 10 meet Mr.. Thompson,
or any other gentleman Who processes to
believe he has not been fairly representing
the people of the Fourth district, General
Black, the Commissioner Of Pensions, Is
quoted as having said to an Ohio member
OF Congress thst Mr. Gibson does more
pension business for his constituents than
any other member of the House. Post
mastar Dalton, OF the House Of Represent
stiyes, is also quoted as saying that Mr.
Gibson is more prompt in his correspond
ence and does rs much OF II as any other
member Of that body.
