NO OTHER RAILWAY IN THE
NORTHWEST

NORTHWEST,
has in so short period gained the re-
putation and popularity enjoyed by the
WISCONSIN CENTRAL LINE.
From comparatively unknown factor
in the commercial world, it has been
transformed to an independent, inhu-
entail, grand Through Route, with
magnificent depots, superb equipment
and unsurpassed terminal facilities.
Through careful catering to details, it
has won for itself q reputation for
solidity, safety, convenience and atten-
ton to its patrons, second to no rail-
road in the country. Pullman sleep
ers, models of palatial comfort, dining
cars in which the cuisine and general
appointments are up to the highest
standard, and coaches especially built
for this route, are among the chief ele-
ments which have contributed towards
catering successfully to a discriminate
ing public. Located directly on its
line, between MinneaDO is and ~.

a ponkey That Found . Mine.

A small old gray donkey passed through
the city yesterday by express consigned to
Mrs. j. B. Ward, Forest Grove. A notice
on the side of the crate informed the curl
Gus that the animals name was John Kel-
logg and that it was the property of Mr..
N. s. Kellogg, with whom it shares the
honor OF discovering the Bunker Hill
mine, the richest mineral lode of the west.
The story goes that the patient, faithful
animal has shared with his master the
tolls Of prospecting for many years, pack
ing his bacon and beans, his pick and
shovel and all his other belongings; sus-
tanning himself on bacon gunnies, tin cans
and what odds and ends and crusts his
kind master could provide, eked out by
any vegetation which came to hand-or
rather to mouth. While prospecting in
the Wardner hills Mr.. Kellogg one day
sat down to eat his luncheon, and the
burro, probably tired Of his wandering,
unsettled course of life, began to paw
away the snow and uncovered a cropping
of mineral. Mr.. Kellogg wiped his lips,
took out his pick, and the rich discovery
of the Bunker Hill was made and his
homestead secured. Like thoughtful,
kind hearted man, he determined his
faithful burro should share his good luck,
and so he sent the animal all the way by
express to Forest Grove, there to revel in
clover all the remainder of his days. The
little animal, as it stood in Wells, Fargo
& Co.'s yard yesterday, attracted r+I-
attention. He had gorged himseIf +,
and stood in the shade the ,pictu: =
tent, carelessly Ticking fly off up
with one ear and another from i: Iclck
with the other. The hair was au Jorn
OF his back, and he looked rough and
haggard, but he earned his rest.-Port-
land Oregonian.

rha Paasants Of Rnssi..

AS you get farther on into Russia the
long boots of the country people show that
you have come into the land of mud and
bad roads. All along the line you see
that monotonous beauty Of the northern
landscape-the wild, thick grown forest,
in which pines and birch strive for the
mastery; the sluggish river now broaden
ing into a sedgy mere, and deep, soft,
marshy meadows roughly rallied with split
timber.
But, above all, the landscape conveys
to stranger from the west of Europe O.
sense Of space, as Of country where every
tree is not numbered; where there is much
land and few men; where it is cheaper
and easier to make fresh road over a
new bit of land than to repair the ruts of
the old track. But when the sun goes
down behind O hill, throwing q bright
light on the foliage Of the wood opposite
foliage not Of dusky blue green, but
with the dark pines relieved by the light
est, freshest green, the green Of the birch
es-apd the light wrinkles on the silver
birch stems and the surface of the quiet
river turns to gold, then one sees the Rus
sian sehset as portrayed by Turgeneff
with a glamour over its loneliness. At
that moment the sight recalled the land
scape seen so often in stage painting; and
the Russian peasants are opera chorus
peasants, dressed in bright red skirts
buckled around the waist and hanging
loose over the trousers, which are always
thrust into long boots. Over the skirt
they wear a sheep skin coming down to
their ankles. The women wear pink or
red dresses the Slav likes bright colors),
bead necklaces, a gaudy handkerchief
are not bare, tied round with bands.-St.

Mexico's Active Volcano.

From Bavispe we had our first sight Of
our objective point, the volcano. A pen
nant of smoke, trailed by the wind from q
low, square topped peak to the southwest,
defined its location, while dull and NUT
tering roar, almost incessant, told that
the forces of nature were at work. The
volcano lies about twelve miles from the
site of the town, but over such an extra
ordinarily broken tract of country that
we realized at once that it would require
two days journey to reach it, and pushed
straight ahead without delay. The phe-
nomena which we had observed at Ba-
visre increased in volume as we ap-
preached the mountain. We followed
dry bed of a stream which at sc
gotten period had worn C.
through the granite. 1t was br,
assures of evident recent origin, IT..
from north to south, and in some case
four or five feet broad and of unknown
depth. Springing from one of these,
about four miles out, we encountered q
geyser rivaling any Of those in the Ma
tional park. 1t is in the center OF a cir
cular basin, with sides of sand and mud
and about forty feet in diameter. At in
tervals of fifteen minutes an immense
stream of boiling water leaps out and up
to height, should judge, of sixty feet.
The geyser spouts for four or five minutes
and then subsidies as quickly as it came,
disappearing with q mutter that rever-
berates far down into the bowels of the
troubled earth.-Cor. New York Herald.

Time Lost in Waiting.

know man who has spent two years
of his life on horse car, and he is neither
a driver nor conductor. He is a bust
ness man who has travelled ever since
Brooklyn had a horse car, and little
ciphering covers just two years of his ex-
istence This calls to mind the vast
amount of PERSONS life spent in what can
technically be termed waiting. Few bus
mess men spend less than two hours daily
on boats, bridge and cars; then they will
average an hour and half in barber
shop weekly, most Of it waiting to get
shaved. The filling Of their lunch order
at the restaurant, with no eating, is nearly
half an hour more daily, as a rule, and the
delays incidental to the preparation Of
morning and evening meals at home make
this round hour. In a year the average
man who moves about much will lose q
month in waiting for trains that won't
come along promptly, boats that are be-
midland ladies whose toilets are elabor-
ated at the expense of time. 1t will thus
be seen that painfully largo share of q
busy mans life is wasted in accommodate
ing himself to delays and slow transit

Mining Gems in North Carolina.

Despite the talk about diamond fields in
Kentucky, but few gems Of any sort have
been found in the limits Of the United.
States. The most celebrated diamond
beds are in India, Brazil and SoutA
Africa, although single stones have occa-
sionally been picked up in Virginia and
North Carolina. Mexico furnishes many
gems, particularly opals, but North Amer
lea, while rich in gold and silver, appears
to be poor in precious stones. North
Carolina has furnished some interesting
stones, particularly the hiddenite, grass
green gem allied in chemical character to
the topaz, but of q color previously I'M
known. 1t occurs in Alexander county,
In the foothills east of the Blue Ridge,
and was named for it's discoverer, Hid
den.
In the same region, in Mcdowell
county, where there are gold mines, are
also found in great variety stones of more
or less value. The mining is carried on
chiefly for gold by the hydraulic sluicing
system, in which the mountain streams
ere employed to wash down the hillsides.
The earth is sluiced out for gold, and all
the stones which remain in the sluices are
carefully examined. A correspondent
from the mines states that valuable rough
specimens are often found, and as much
as the value of $4,000 in opals, topases
and other fine stones has been found in
one day, and on one occasion a diamond
worth 81 900 was taken out. There are
other localities in that region that are
without doubt equally rich. Free

WITH TROUSERS TURNED Up.

know young American EngGshman
who runs to the window every morning
on rising to see if he will have an oppor-
tunity Of turning his trousers legs up. II,
the day looks fine he comes from the
window with disappointed air and says,
"Too bad, by Jove. 1t isn't going to
vain afteh ALL" Once he has become
thorough Englishman, however, he will
walk through Broadway the sunniest day
in the year with his trousers turned up.
The walk Of the American Englishrnan
Is also very distinctive. It is not, strictly
speaking, a walk at all, but stride.
The feet are kept well apart and the toes
are turned slightly in as if the walker
wore spurs. The left arm is curved and
is permitted to swing but very little.
The cane is carried perpendicularly and
the point Is brought upon the ground
almost three feet in front of the walker.
It is not good form to throw the chest too
prominently forward, but you will notice
a graceful droop of the shoulders.
The single eye glass is nearly an abso-
lutte necessity, and the American English
man uses it in public just as soon as he
can get it into his eye without opening his
mouth. Several young gentlemen of my
acquaintance have seriously injured their
eyes by using strong eye glasses when
their sight was good. But injury to ones
eye is small penalty to pay for such a
fashionable and attractive practice. "By
jove, Chawley," said one young gentle
man, II would wawthaw endangaw the
total sight of one eye than suwwendaw the
privilege of weaving the glass. o its
.yewy English"
But the pillow of the young swell is not
without thorns, for his father is very often
blunt spoken, honest man whose gram
mar and pronunciation are none too good.
"If fathaw would only altaw his speech a
twifle I would give half my allowance.
He would nevvaw, nevvaw pass for an
Englishman." This is the sad wall Of

New York and through this country

Industrial Uses of Oil of Birch.

A Belgian inventor has devised a pro-
cess for tanning textile fabrics which rem
ders them waterproof and at the same
time, it is said, proof against decay, while
their suppleness is not diminished and
their weight not appreciably increased.
Arguing from the high state of preserva-
ton in which the bands which surround
the heads of Egyptian mummies are found
to this day, and which are impregnated
with kind of resin, the inventor had re-
course to the substances extracted from
birch bark, and which are now used to
perfume Russia leather.
When the fine white bark of the birch
tree is distilled it yields light oil, nearly
fourth part Of which consists of the
special phenoi, or carbolic acid, which
gives the well known odor to Russia
leather. It Is now found that the residue,
or green tar, of the birch, which Is OBJ.
tanned from Kostroma, yields neither acid
nor alkaloid, and forms, with alcohol, a
solution of great fiuidity, which, however,
when once dried, is not acted upon by al
cohol It is this substance which will
unite with the most brilliant colors that
are used by the inventor for treating text
lie fabrics. Register.

The common error that because thing
grows out Of the ground it is peculiarly
"a work of NATURE" and therefore of no

Of failure in gardening and landscape. In
this light it seems almost a heresy to
state the fact that many of our garden
flowers are as much the work of man as
are aniline dyes, for instance, and that
one may be as atrocious in color as the
other. Akin to this error is the idea that
things which may be excellent and beau
tiful in themselves must be correspond.
ingly excellent and beautiful in conjunc-
ton. The women Of a certain insular
realm have reputation, in other lands,
for ill taste in dress. The silks, velvets,
laces, etc., of which their garments are
made may be of admirable quality, and
even beautiful in themselves, but an array
like a green velvet bonnet with purple
feather and scarlet ribbons, combined with
pink waist and blue skirt, constitutes a
spectacle which would probably have
startled the eyes Of one accustomed even
to the sight Of King Solomon robed in all

Hugo's Account of an English Lady's
|, Visit to the Paris Executioner.
M. Samson lived in the Rue du Marais
du Temple, in an isolated house, of which
the jalousies were always closed. He re-
ceived many visits. Numbers of English
people went to see him. When visitors
presented themselves at M. Sanson's they
were introduced into an elegant reception
room on the ground floor, furnished en-
tirely with mahogany, in the midst of
which there was an excellent piano, al
ways open and provided with pieces OF
music. Shortly afterward NJ. Samson ar
rived and asked his visitors to be seated.
The conversation turned upon one subject
and another. Generally the English peo-
pie asked to see the guillotine. M. San
son complied with this request, no doubt
for some consideration, and conducted
the ladies and gentlemen to the adjoining
street, (the Ru Albony, think), to the
house of the scaffold manufacturer.
There was shed at this place, where the
the guillotine was permanently erected.
The strangers grouped themselves around
it and it was made to work. Trusses Of
hay were guillotined.
One day an English family, consisting
of the father, the mother and three pretty
daughters, fair and with rosy cheeks, pre-
scented themselves at Sanson's residence.
1t was in order to see the guillotine. San
son took them to the carpenters and set
the instrument at work. The knife fell
and rose again several times at the re-
quest of the young ladies. One Of them,
however, the youngest, was not satisfied
with this. She made the executioner ex-
plain to her in the minutest details what
is called the toilet of the condemned.
Still she was not satisfied. At length she
turned hesitatingly toward the execu-
toner. ''Monsieur Sanson," she said.
'Mademoiselle, said the executioner.
"What is done when the man is on the
scaffold? How is he tied DOWN." The
axecutioner explained the dreadful mat
ting him in the oven.'" "Well, Monsieur
Sanson," said the young lady, II want
you to put me in the Oven."
The eXecutioner started. He made an
exclamation of surprise. The young lady
insisted. 81 fancy" she said, ''that I
should like to be able to say have been
tied down on it' Samson spoke to the
father and mother. They replied, GAS
she has taken a fancy to have it done do
it, The executioner had to give in. He
made the young miss sit down, tied her
legs with piece of string and her arms
behind her back with rope, fastened her
to the swinging plank and strapped her on
with the leather strap. Here he wanted
to stop. ''No, no, that is not yet all, B." she
said. Samson then swung the plank
down, placed the head of the young lady
in the dreadful neck piece and closed it
upon her neck. Then she declared she
was satisfied. When he afterward told
the story Samson said, II quite thought
she was going to say at last, THAT is not
all. Make the knife fall Things seen

Tho Mourning Ring.

"Did you ever see a mourning ringr'
asked Maiden lane jeweler of a reporter
the other day. "Well, here is one."
1t is q heavy gold band, perfectly plain,
and with seal in the shape of q coffin.
1t has glass face, through which can be
seen a skeleton in gold. On the inside of
the ring is the inscription, in black enamel,
giving the initials of the deceased and the
date of death.
"These designs were used over a CEN
fury ago, and now they are to be revived
as the latest fad. Some young widows,
who find it difficult to indicate their be-
reavement when indoors, with hat and
flowing veil removed, take advantage of
the ring to announce to susceptible young
men that they have returned to the mat
rimonial market. They need not look
melancholy. A turn of the finger and the
sad news is told"
"Do men use themr'
'sMost assuredly. Widowers have no
way Of announcing their loss except by
the band on their hats. With q mourn
ing ring all embarrassing inquiries re-
garding the deceased wife may be avoided,
and knowledge of the widower's restored
eligibility quickly and neatly impaired. -"
