dock lay the Manzdnitd with the big
boss whistling buoy, weighing tons
upon tons on board. 1t is painted a
bright red, and has IN big white let
ters fair to see the words GRAY'S
HARBOR painted all around its
voluptuous waist. 1t will bob in the
bubbling brine off Gray's harbor, and
any one who is able to read the En-
glish language when in big print, can
make out which is Gray's harbor and
which is Shoalwater bay after he sees
this buoy. The whistling buoy
Iat the mouth of the Columbia is
painted black and white.

Except in large cities the post
Office department will not pay for ad-
vertising the dead letter list. This
is unfair to the inhabitants ofsmaller
towns and villages. An undelivered
letter is just as important to its right
full owner in Astoria as though he or
she were q resident of San Francisco
and to withhold publicity in one
place that is given to it in another is
unjust and unworthy of our govern
ment.

When q Big Rope Snaps.

Few people know the danger of standing near taut lines or hawsers. have seen haw- sers snap with pistol like report under tre- mendous strain and knock men twenty or thirty feet, frequently breaking arms and legs. The best hawsers are made of sea grass, and will bear an enormous strain. They will stretch until their diameter is diminished by more than half In the recent gorge disaster noticed a remarkable illus tration of this point. The sectional docks were held to the shore by an enormous line, four inches in diameter and fully 100 yards long. afterward learned that it was 20 years old and cost S2,0O0. We'll, the ice be gan to bear down on the docks The old hawser behaved like Trojan and began to stretch and creak. The men got out of it's way, but the old line held together, growing smaller and smaller as the thousands of pounds were added to the strain. In little while the line was not larger than a girls wrist, and it remained in that perilous state for several hours, when the gorge finally broke and allowed the ice to float down stream. Afterward the hawser returned to its normal size, not weakened bit Such cables must always be made to order, and they cost lots of money. The line of which speak is the largest on the Mississippi Steamboat Captain in Globe-Democrat.

CHAPTER XIV.

As the summer months advanced, the transformation of the Venetian palace into the modern hotel proceeded rapidly toward completion.
 The outside of the building, with its fine Palladian front looking on the canal, was wisely left unaltered. Inside, as matter of necessity the rooms were almost rebuilt-so far at least as the size and the arrangement of them were concerned. The vast saloons were parlitoned off into "apartments'' containing three or four rooms each. The broad cor riders in the upper regions afforded spare space enough for rows of little bed chambers, devoted to servants and to travellers of limited means. Nothing was spared but the solid floors and the finely carved ceilings. These last, in excellent preservation as to workmanship, merely required cleaning and regilding here and there to add greatly to the beauty and importance of the best rooms in the hotel. The only exception to the com plete reorganization of the interior was at one extremity of the edifice on the first and second floors Here there happened in each case to be rooms of such comparatively moderate size, and so attractively decorated, that the architect suggested leaving them as they were. It was after ward discovered that these were no other than the apartments respectively occupied by Lord Montbarry lon the first floor) and by Baron Rivar Ion the second). The room ill which Montbarry had died was still fitted up as a bed room, and was now dis tinguished as number fourteen. The room above it, in which the baron slept, took it's place on the hotel register as number thirty eight. With the ornaments on the wall and ceilings cleaned and frightened up, and with the heavy old fashioned beds, chairs, and tables replaced by bright, pretty and luxuri-
 
 be at once tho most attractive and most com fortable bed chambers ill the hotel. As for the once desolate and disused ground floor of the building, it now transformed, by means of splendid dining rooms, reception rooms, billiard rooms and smoking rooms, into a palace by itself. Even the dungeon like walls beneath, now lighted and ventilated on the most approved plan, had been turned as if by magic into kitchens, servants offices, ice rooms and wine cellars. Passing from the lapse of the summer months at Ven- ice to the lapse of the summer months in Ireland it is next to be recorded that Mrs. Roland obtained the situation of attendant on the invalid, Mrs. Carbury, and that the fair Miss Haldane, like a female Caesar, came, saw and conquered on her first days visit to the new Lord Montbarry's house. The ladies were as loud ill her praises as Arthur Barville himself. Lord Montbarry declared that she was the only perfectly pretty woman he had ever seen who was really unconscious of her own attractions. The old nurse said she looked as if she had just stepped out of Q picture, and wanted nothing but a gilt frame round her to make her complete. Miss Haldane, on her side. returned from her first visit to the Montbar- rvs, charmed with her new acquaintances. Later oil the same day Arthur called with an
