PENCILlNGS.

1t wasn't a Corvallis boy who, when
asked to tell all he knew about
breathing" in composition, said as
follows: breathing is made of air.
We breathe with our lungs, our lights,
our liver and our kidneys. If it wasn't
for our breath we would die when we
sleep. Our breath keeps the life
a-going through the nose when we are
asleep. Boys that stay in room all
day should not breathe. They should
wait till they get out of doors. Boys
in IA room make bad, unwholesome air.
They make carbonicide. Carbonicide
is poisoner than mad dogs. A heap OF
soldiers was in Black hole in India,
and a carbonicide got in that there
hole and killed nearly every one afore
morning. Girls kill the breath with
corsits that squeezes the diagram.
Girls can't holler or run like boys be-
cause their diagram is squeezed too
much. If I was girl I'd rather be a
boy, so I can holler and run and have
great big diagram"

The new train tell-tale, or self

trains, of Professor Milne, has been
working satisfactorily in Japan and
in this country, and arrangements
are being made for having it tried
on some of the English and Scotch
lines. This instrument shows when
a train stops, for how long, and
whether at station, signal or sid

Poor, unfort unate, Batrachain! In

And yet his misfortune was one that

THE CAPITAL JOURNAL.
The Old, Old Story.


He anchored fast his fishing boat,
He made a cushion of his coat,
And sat and watched his bobber float
From early morn till night.
As hour on hour thus idly spent
In slow succession came and went,
He passed the time III sweet content
While waiting for bite.
when shadows badc him fish no more,
He piled the lazy dripping oar,
And sought lad upon the shore
His string of bass to buy.
Next morning in the busy mart
He told n tale all knew by heart,
Yet told it with such wondrous art
None knew the old, old lie.

FISHERY TROUBLES.
Strained Relations Between New.
foundland and the French.

Advices from the Bay Of st. George,
Newfoundland, represent that the re-
lations between Newfoundland and the
French fishermen on the disputed
French shore are reaching crisis.
The commander of the British war
ship Lily has issued proclamation to
the effect that he would not permit the
Newfoundland fishermen TO set their
nets to catch herring, and II they did
he would confiscate their nets. An in
dignation meeting was held, at which
strong language was used. The procla-
nation was posted up in public places,
but was quickly torn down by the in
furiated people. st. Georges Bay is a
great herring fishing ground. There
are about 1000 people there who live
almost entirely by catching herring
and exporting them TO Canada. The
French are given concurrent rights by
treaty of that part OF Newfoundland
but the claim exhausted jurisdiction
and now that they can get their bait
in another portion Of Newfoundland,
they are asserting their claims OF ex-
clusiveness over the Bay OF st. George,
and supplying themselves with bal,
there. Bloodshed is feared.

EXCITED OVER A WELL
Georgia People 60 wild over tho
Discovery OF Turpcntine.

A special 10 the Times from Donald
son, Ga, says; Laurens county is in
tensely excited ovor tho discovery o.,
spirits Of turpsntine In well on Pes
cocks farm. A peculiar gas has boon
observed coming from the well ever
since II was dug two years ago. More
than month ago tho water became so
imprcgnated with turPentine that II
could not be used. Afew days ago
bucket OF colored turpentine was hauled
out. An investigation was made and
fourteen barrels wore drawn of. In q
few hours the spirits had rlson TO some
height. A barrel Of IL reached Savan-
nah and experts pronounce IL the pure
article. II Is not believed that the well
has been sailed, and the mystery is so
far inexplicablc. The find Is the talk
OF the day at tho board OF trade there,
and little dealing In turpeptine will be
done until further results DIRE obtained
from the well.

THE GROWING CROPS.
Tho Weather was Favorable Except
In the south and East Gulf States.

The signal Office weather crop bulle-
tin for the week ending Saturday, May
IS. says: Tho weather during the
week was favorable for growing crops
in all sections except In tho South At
lantlc and east gulf states, where hot
dry weather and tho absence Of rain
was unfavornblo for cotton, and has
doubtless caused some damage To small
grains In South Carolina, Georgia, Al
ALBANIA and southern portions OF Louis
lana and Mississippi Throughout tho
wheat regions OF the central valleys
and the northwest recent rains greatly
improved the crop conditions and also
lessened the chances OF injury from
chinch and cut worms, which were
rapidly increasing In some sections.
The cold weather and SHOWS In the
northwest have doubtless affected
the crops favorably In that sec
ton. In Texas tho weather was fa-
vorablo for wheat, which Is now being
harvested, but oats were somewhat In
cured by drought; all other crops were
improved, Tho rains which occurred
In the early part OF the week, In Ken
lucky and Tennessee, although not
sufficient, greatly benefited all crops,
but IL Is probable that these rains did
not occur sufficiently early TO make a
full crop OF oats and tobacco. Gener-
ally throughout New England, the
,nildln Atlantic Stntaa and ~ ataa mort IA
Of the Ohio river, the week wns espec-
tally favorable, and all crops are
making satisfactory progress, except
In portions OF Indiana whore the
drought continues. These rains will
probably extend southwark over tho
greater portion OF the cotton region
where they are much needed. Slight
damage resulted from hail In some
sections OF Tennessee and Iowa.
