Lake Henry's Moving Island.

One of the most picturesque and remark
able bodies of water in the world is Henry's
lake, in Idaho. 1t is situated on the dome of
the continent in a depression in the Rocky
mountains called Targee's pass. 1t has an
area of forty square miles, and all around it
rise snow capped peaks, some Of them being
the highest of the continents backbone. In
the lake is a floating island about 800 feet in
diameter. 1t has for its basis mat of roots
so dense that it supports large trees and a
heavy growth of underbrush.
These roots are covered with several feet
Of rich soil The surface is solid enough tt
support the weight Of horse anywhere, and
there are places where a house could be built
The wind blows the island about the lake,
and it seldom remains twenty-four hours in
the same place,-San Francisco Post.

There is a new corset made Tor horse " ofiiC1
out of soft leather which is almost without
bone, but is both firm and flexible and has
been found to be the very best thing possible
for wear with the habit. This is an importa-
ton from India, where corsets of this sort
have been in use for hundreds of years. The
most expensive corsets kept in stock in the
shops and by the corset makers cost S35,
which is indeed about as high as they ever
run, though they can be made to order even
more extravagantly, but even Worth's own
sorsetiere, whose works stand unrivaled in
the world, rarely charges over $40 Thirty
five dollars gets one of heavy satin, richly
embroidered, and trimmed with real lace
1t is lined inside with smooth thick silk,
so perfectly cut and sewed that there is not
the slightest roughness or fold anywhere to
press on the delicate flesh of the wearer, and
all along the inner side Of the steels is a little
lining of down to keep them from pressing
upon the body. Equally good corsats are to
be had for a smaller sum and with less deco
ration, which tie best dressed women prefer,
the embroidery and lace having Frou-Frou
uggestion, which they wish to avoid A

A Magical Tree.

She was a charming blonde, with hair the
color Titians loved to paint, and melting blue
eyes that seemed to invite inspection. and the
closer the better. Turning the big bronze
knob of the door leading into the main cor
rider of the White House, the fair unknown
in tones of liquid silver, inquired: please,
sir, can you tell me where the wishing tree is
situatedP'
For an instant the history maker was in a
quandary, but, in the course of a brief con-
versation, ascertained that the visitor was in
earnest about her question. Some one had
told her that there was tree in a direct line
from the White Honse, in front of Jackson
square, which susceptible maidens were in
the habit of touching and making wish as
they did so.
Close scrutiny of the neighborhood showed
that such tree exists but whether it pos
sessed the qualities ascribed to it remains to
be seen. The meridian of Washington, an
imaginary line from which longitude was
formerly reckoned for the United States
runs through the center of the White House.
and in the grounds near the Washington
monument there was until a comparatively
recent period an old sandstone column, prob
ably three feet in height known as the me-
ridian stone. The tree in question stands
directly as the meridian line in front of the
horse balanced on its hind feet, which is so
conspicuous looking north from the White
House windows.
According to the young lady, if the wish is
proper one it is sure to be granted after the
magic tree is touched, and the bark shows
evidence of numerous visits by the fair sex
who desire to tempt fate.-W Washington Post

The Metal Markets.

Railroad building requirements are
being very largely withheld on account Of
the unsettled price of rails and the proba-
bility of q decline in prices because of 80
much idle capacity There Is considerably
more railroad building projected and con-
templated than is generally supposed even
in usually we'll informed journalistic cir
cles. Railroad builders do not propose TO
assist manufacturers In maintaining prices
by hurrying in orders for material and
supplies. On the contrary, In pursuance
Of an unbusinesslike policy, they are with.
holding all business possible in order that
the depressing influence resulting from q
steady enlargement Of capacity during the
past twelve months or more may work out
their full e6ects.
Fresh reports OF an impending collapse
of the French copper syndicate are afloat.
One theory 10 that they are Inspired for
speculative purposes, and the other that
the operators are really losing their grip.
According 70 James Lewis & Sons, the
syndicate paid last year altogether for COD
per e16, ,349, 800. and received for sales
E6, ,512, 900, leaving E9. .9S7 900 worth on

EXCURSION TO PALoUsE.

The Business Men OF Spokane Falls In

PALousE CrTy, Feb. 12, Correspond
ence.-One who has not been through the
Palouse country tor year would hardly
know it. 1t is really wonderful how such
changes could have been made in such
short length OF time: Where year ago
there we're only ranches to-day you can see
full prairie only five or ten miles apart,
having from 200 to 900 inhabitants ip
each and having from three to ten mer-
chandise stores, with all the professions
and trades we'll represented. To say that
those merchants are prosperinR is putting
1t mildly. Most of them are getting rich
very fast, and honestly, too. The farmers
have abundance of all kinds of produce
and are getting q high price for it. They
can and do afford TO eat, wear and buy the
very best of everything. To supply the
farmers will keep city of o hundred
thousand very busy. Now this whole
country is tributary 10 and right at

sale trade ri9htfully belongs to il. But
Portland, like drowning man clutching at
whale, or anything he can get hold of,
has the audacity and courage to try to
hold on to this young elephant, although
be despises her. for she is alien, alien In
sympathy, alien In getting appropriations,
alien in paying taxes, and alien too in de-
fenuinR Washington. The business men
of Palouse say ii Spokane Falls goes up,
down 20 our taxes. II we trade with
her she will assist us with her votes in
getting appropriations and buildings.
The Pulouse men would like to see the bus-
mess men of Spokane Falls all together.
come down in special car ana see our
country, and let Us have friendly shake
hands together. Yes, drink, eat and talk
together, find out each others habits
and wants. Let the Spokane bus

matter with thatY 1t is in the very
