Back From The Sound.

Major r. H. Handbury, United
States engineer, has returned from a
trip around to the Sound on the Han
zd1lit0, which was taking supplies to
the various lighthouses. He inspected
the fog signals being erected at De.
struction island, and found them
nearly completed. In a week or ten
days the voice of the siren will be
heard in that land warning ships from
the dangerous coast A visit was also
made to Tatoosh island, where the
supplies were nearly exhausted.
The MG1lzGnitG has a great amount
of work to do, and is furnished with a
crew altogether too small for the
work. For instance, in landing sup
plies at any of the lights, all of which
are in exposed and dangerous posi-.
tions, the whole crew of six men are
sent off in boat, and they have to
pack all the supplies, coal, oil, lumber,
etc., ashore from the boat, and away
above high-water mark. If the boat
should by any chance be wrecked or
swamped, and the crew lost, the
steamer would be left helpless.
A revenue cutter is supplied with
three times as many men, and they
have nothing to do outside their yes
sci, while the six men on the NGnzu-
nitG have to lug ashore and up the
beach all the supplies for all the light
houses in the district, which is more
than they should be asked to do.
Major Handbury left the MGnzGnitG
at Port Townsend and came up the
Sound in steam schooner, and had a
rough trip, as they encountered a
heavy blow.-Oregonian, I.

BE TOOK THE WRONG MEDICINE.

Robert Stewart, of Petaluma, recently had a
queer experience. He writes:
"Csrbuncle and boils afflicted my face and
neck for weeks. Finally procured bottle
of one OF the leading sarsapsrillas. To my
surprise 1t made matters worse. This made
me lose faith in sarsaparillas, but seeing a
statement that joys Vegetable sarsaparilla
dried up boils and face eruptions instead of
forcing moro out as the potash sarSaparillas
do, bought bottle. Tho effect was aston
ishing. Thecarbuncles and boils began to dry
up, and In two weeks my face wao well and
smooth as ever. My brother also took bottle
With the same benefit. ROBERT STEWART,
''Petaluma, Cal"
Explanatory Note-The mineral iodide of
potash, which is the basis of nearly all other
ssrsspsrillas, attacks the blood direct, hence
forces impurities through the skin, creating
more boils and pimples Joys Vegetable Sar-
sapartlla acts oppositely. Its vegetable alter
atlves stimulate the various secretive organs
and thus eliminate all impurities through the
natural channels, hence dries un pimples and
skin eruptions at once. Tho above t.stimon.
isl is Q case IN point.

During the intense darkness which
prevailed tn this city Monday night,
three persons fell off the sidewalk into
the hole alongside the county court
house. This hole was full of water
waist high at the time, and one per-
son received severe injuries by strik-
ing on the top of the picket fence
which it was impossible to see on &C
count of there being no light. A dam
age suit against the city is likely to
result from said injuries.

Sayings of the Sages.

You will find in your work that the
less you have to look at the better you
attend. You can no more see twenty
things worth seeing in an hour than you
can read twenty books worth reading
in day. No book is worth anything
that is not worth much, nor is it SER
viceable until it, has been read, and
reread, and loved, and loved again,
and marked so that you can refer to
the passages you want in it as a SOL
dler can seize the weapon he needs in
an armory.-Ruskin.
Such is the world. Understand it,
despise it, love it; cheerfully hold on
thy way through it, with thine eye on
high lode-stars.-CarLyte.
A man in authority is but as
candle in the wind sooner wasted
Or blown out than under bushel.
Beaumont AM Fletcher.
Run if you like, but try to keep your breath;
Work like man, but don't be worked to
death. Holmes.
The reason why great men meet
with so htsle pity or attachment in adj
versity would seem to be this: The
friends of great man were made by
his fortunes, his enemies by himself,
and revenge is much more punctual
paymaster than gratitude. Those
whom great man has marred rejoice
at his ruin, and those whom he has
made look on with Indifference, be-
cause with common minds the destruc-
ton of the creditor is considered as
equivalent to the payment of the debt.

The Siamese Girl.

The Siamese girls have beautiful
eyes. and the plump olive cheeks of
maldens of Is would be very attract
i've were it not for the betel. The
eyes are black, lustrous, and full of
soul. They are a friendly set. too,
and they do not shrug their rosy un-
covered shoulders nor attempt to pull
down their ballet-girl costume in the
presence of the men. Many of them
are peddlers in this city of Canas, and
they sit in these long. narrow, canoe
like boats and paddle along their
wares from house to house. They
seem to be the managers of the stores
and these river shops of Bangkok are
out of the water and the maiden store
keeper squats down on the floor with
her goods all around her and with her
beteI box and tobacco beside her. Her
husband is usually lying in back room
or loating. Her stock is very small
and there is nothing for the foreigner
to buy. The wants of the people are
few. Siamese washing takes neither
soap nor starch, and vegetables and
rice consti tute the most of the food of
the people. When they want dainty
they take little raw, rotten fish and
mix it with their curry, and the ma
jority of them do not know what meat
is.-F G. Carpenter, in the NeU York
World

Natural Time-Keepers.

Clocks and watches are still rare
among the people of Madagascar.
Time is marked either by the more
regular incidents of daily life, or by
the points reached by the suns rays in
different parts of the house through
the day, method which reminds one
of the dial in use among the Greeks
and Romans. The other method has
all the charm of the Shepherds calen-
dars.
According to these the progress of
the year was marked by the appear
ance or the disappearance of birds
and blossoms. The following is given
as the order of the day in Madagas-
car:

pit, and that it had been sold to Ger

dealer got an offer of $25, 900 for it and
the offer was accepted. Ten thousand
dollars was to be paid when the brute
was safely placed on board the vessel

$4,000 was to be paid when he arrived
here, and the remaining $4,000 at the

brute lived. He arrived here in good
condition and was the center of curl
