TIE SCHOOL BOARD.
wrestling with a Very Difficult and
Somewhat Dissyrpeable proh,ou

The Board of Trustees of the Hal.
ley Schoo! District met at . o'clock
yesterday afternoon, for the purpose
OF electing teachers for the mex,
school year. Although no definite
action has been taken, it is generally
understood that the salaries will he
somewhat lower than las, year. but
that live teachers will be employed.
Who these will be is not known.
Miss Van Hoesen having sent in her
resignation a month ago, she will
doubtless be superseded. There are
over dozen applications before the
Board.
The most OF these are for the posi-.
ton of Principal, for which there are
six applicants, besides Professor Mil.
ner, who has not made formal ap-
plication. The six are Professor
Fagis, Of Shoshone, two Professors
Brazler who are relatives Of Miss Van
Hoesen, lady froln San Francisco,
one gentleman from Missouri, and
one from Iowa. No ballot has
been taken on the proposition,
but Trustee Warren is understood to
favor the re engagement of Pro-
lessor Miner, while Trustee Burk
hart is opposed to it. Trustee Sulli
van prefers not to vote on the
question, rs his term of office will ex.
pire ia September, and he would
rather not assume the responsibility of
voting for the principal or any of the
teachers, owing to the existence in
the community OF strong feeling
against the school as conducted the
past year, when the high sc'ool grade.
composed Of such small number of
pupils, cost SO much more than the
remaining nine-te nths of the school.
The Board will meet again to.mor-
row evening.

The Worlds On;nine.

The yearly production of quinine
is estimated to be about 100000
ounces. This is chiefly furnished by
eighteen factories-one in Holland,
two in England, two in Italy, three
in France, four in the United States,
and six in Germany. Qrinine is also
supplied by the Government p!anta-
tons in India; and experiments in
producing it IN the vicinity of riflis,
in the Caucasus, have been SO success
full that the Russian Government is
arranging for the cultivation OF Gin
chona on an immense scale.

A FEARFUL FIT.
The Result Of Drinking Ice Water
While Uycrheated.

Portland News: A Mr.. Starr, of
Pendleton, drove rapidly across the
Morrison street bridge last evening at
$50, jumped suddenly from his team
and left it standing on Front street at
its intersection with Morrison. Then
he rushed into the St. Charles saloon
and began reeIing around, and as he
did so, he exclaimed, "God help me-"
Then Mr.. Starr fell on the floor in a
fit in which be wrthed fearfulIy and
frothed at the mouth as though atfiict-
ed with hydrophobia. His writings
were so fearful that it was feared that
death would ensue and a doctor was
hastily summoned who applied res,o.
rat;ves. After some little time the fit
ceased and Mr.. Starr was sent home.
The man of medicine said the fit was
the result of an overheatng followed
by too copious draughts of ice water

the Gulf of Mexico, reaching it In the
vicinity OF Pensacola. This evolution of
a new river bed implies a more or less
protracted period of general overflow.
Instead of leaving the land richer when
it recedes, like the Nile and the Missis-
sippi, it leaves barren and unfruitful
stretch of sand and clay. In this way
the floods Of the Hoang-Ho are not only
a present but permanent calamity. as
the loss it causes is irreparable. Engi-
neers have studied the river, and some
of them entertain the opinion that a sys-
tenn of levees, which would keep the
river IN its channel and compel it to
scour out its channel, would prevent
these periodic oyerhows. We are per-
suaded, however, that science will have
to make considerable advance before
trough can be constructed high enough
and strong enough to carry the stormy
waters OF the Central Asian mountains

THE GREAT FLOOD IN CHINA

For nearly three months past an im-
mense area of northeastern China which
before was a fertile. densely populated
plain. has been a lake of muddy water.
Eleven cities are reported inundated and
an unknown host of the teeming Chi
nese population are without homes or
means Of subsistence. The Chinese gov
erument has taken steps to relieve the
distress. but suffering and death on an
enormous scale must inevitably result
from long continued flood of this mag
nitude in region where every rood OF
ground that possibly can be utilized for
the purpose is made to do its full share
towards the maintenance of human life.
The Hoang Ho. or Yellow river. whose
overflow is causing all this desolation, Is
one of the greatest rivers OF the world.
1t is about as long as, and very much
resembles, our own Missouri, but more
turbulent and unmanageable and more
heavily laden with the 1etritus of it's
mountain sources. The gravel, sand
and clay with its swift waters carry in
suspension fill up its bed in its quieter
months more rapidly than it can piow II
out again in seasons of flood, The re-
suit IS a wide, shallow, unstable river,
gradually rising higher than the sur
rounding plain. until the sediment final
ly succeeds in ejecting the river from its
bed altogether. According to Chinese
records, the river has changed Its course
nine times in the last 500 years. The
last change was made during the sue
cessive foods Of 1s5i-59, when the river
LETT its channel 200 miles from its mouth
and made for itself new one, entering
tho sea about 800 miles in straight line
further north, II is as il the Mississippi

NEW ARTICLES OF DINNER SERVICE.

There is no reason why the simplest
Inner table should not be as beautiful
as color and light can make it. The
hops are filled with a bewildering
choice of exquisite porcelains, and some
u the m )st beautiful designs and colOTs
re found among the cheaper kinds of
'hina. which come from Japan and the
Celestial empire. There is no silver in
market which shows such poverty of
lesign as some Of the costly Russian
liver. among which are such designs as
snowy damask napkin, in enamel on
glded wicker platter, or exact reproduc-
tions in silver Of cigar box of cedar
wood, with the governmental stamp.
There ia no china which shows such lack
If artistic work as the Sevres china,
which is often prOfusely gIded and
catered with imitation gems. The old
flower designs frCm Mplssen are lovely,
and Russian silver, when it is copied
from the old Kremin silver, is quaint
and beautiful.
The plates used in the various courses
# dinner are usually different; often
,ach plate in course is different. The
Cup plate and dinner plate proper, ,occa-
,iOnally match, but these are the only
center of the soup plate and Of the din
ler plate is generally left plain, without
lesign. The toureens and platters and
vegetable dishes may match the soup
plate and dinner plate IN general style.
Old blue Canton ware is perhaps the
safest choice for serviceable dinner
china White china is cold. Blue Can.
on ware is strong, can be as readily
matched as white china and harmonizes
with almost any shade OF fancy china
which can be introduced on the table.
The daintiest course of plates used on
the dinner table is usually the desert
plates. On wealthy tables these are of
ten painted by artists with flower or leaf
patterns. A course of plates for raw
Iysters, course Of fish plates, course
If small plates for entrees, dozen game
plates, dozen salad plates and two or
more sets of dessert plates are the extra
plates generally added to the dinner ser.
vice. which includes the soup and din
ner plates, the soup tureen, the vegeta-
hle dishes in various shapes and a sue
cession of pat:ers. The game platter,
the fish platter, the salad bowl, may
match the course of plates used with
them. Wealthy households may have
more sets of plates, and the entire din
ner service is often of solid silver with
the exception usually of the plates. A
