MISS lsduS(hie ~ uoW CcicpIlOue
operator in this city, Mrs. Stevens
having resigned after an experience
of about fortnight. This position
has since November been filled by no
less than half dozen operators, each
of whom relinquished it with profound
signs of relief. The duties are pc
culiarly exacting at best, and the line
does not seem to be in ordinarily good
working order, and the necessity of
repeating sentences and spelling words,
is severe tax upon the patience Of
the person in charge.
This Office received call yesterday
from Mcssrs. Galusha Parsons, of Des
Moines, and Chas. J. Dodge, of Bur
lington, Iowa, who have lately become
residents Of Seattle, and entered upon
the practice OF law in that city. Mr..
Parsons visited this Territory last sum-
mer, and was so well pleased with what
he saw that he determined to make it
his permanent home. Mr.. Dodge is a
son of the first U. S. Senator born
west OF the Mississippi river, and this
is his first visit to the coast, but he
seems to be satisfied with the prospects
of Western progress.
The Olympia correspondent of the
Tacoma Ledger erred in his letter of
Monday, when ne stated that small
pox patient "was hurried off on a
dray to that most barbarous of all in
situations, known as the pest-house, to
die" The fact is, he was removed in a
covered express wagon, on soft bed
with ample covering, and was taken to
as comfortable quarters, a few miles
from town, as money and labor could
prepare. The friends OF Mr.. Conaher,

Preacher Eating His Horse.

There was no church in Van Buren,.
A Methodistitinerant was sent there.
One house was open to him-the tav-
ern-and to that he went und put
up. He interviewed mine host.
"What is the chance for Methodist
preacher?' The reply was that it
was the same MS for any other man,
if he had money. "But i'll have no
money!" The chances were bad
enough. "What do you charge for
board" said the circuit-rider. The
rates were given. Look at my
horse" said he. what do think he
is WORTH" The animal, doubtless,
was good middling, for our preach
ers are not novices about horses. and
no men have better use for them.
That preliminary settled. the preach
err proceeded in u very straightfor-
ward style with the host. "Sir, turn
my horse into your stable, and when
you think have eaten up the value
of him, let me know, and will eth
err change my quarters or provide
other means of paying my bills"
He went to work-laid siege to the
place in the name of the Lord, and
before the horse was eaten up the
town capitulated. The people pre-
sented him his horse. all charges
paid, and his own bill besides, fitted
out "the parson" in new suit of
clothes, and from that day Chris
tianity has had firm footing in

Flapping OF a Fly,s Wing.

From Sir John Lubbuck's New Book.
The slow Tapping ola buttcrAy's
wing produces no sound, but when
the movements are. rapid IL noise is
produced which increases in sl,rillness
with the number OF vibrations. Thus
the house-fy, which produces the
sound I, vibrates it's wings 21,12O
times u minute, or 3a5 times in 4,
second; and the bee. which makes I,
sound OLA, asmany as 26. 400 times.
or 40 times in a second. On the
contrary,a tired bee huns on T., and,
therefore, according to theory. vi
brates its wings only :,3O times in /,
second. Marcy has succeeded in con-
tirming these numbers graphically.
He fixed n fly so that the tip of the
wing just touched cylinder, which
was moved by clockwork. Each
stroke of the wing caused II mark, OF
course very slight, but still quite
perceptible. and he thus showed that
there were actually $50 strokes in 4,
second, agreeing almost exactly with
the number inferred from the note
produced.

Sleeping Car philosopy.

From the Pittsburg Press
A sleeping car porter OH the Pitts
burg and Lake Erie told me 1; day OF
two ago that the company required
him to ask each passenger which, way
he would like his bed made up-hcad
or feet to the engine.
What difference does it makc?"
asked.
"Well, y see, boss" was the an.
swer, elf yo' head is to the engine yo'
is out of dc draughts. But Of thar is
u smash-up in de night. yo' is dead
far shuab. Some genelmcn dey say
dat dey won't want to take no
chances, so dey hez dar feet put to
the engine. Den if dey is Il slnsh.up
deere feet an lnigs may be squashcd,
but .'ere head an body may not he
hurt, an so dcre lives is saved"
Every NICE" l observed. "But do
you think that a smash-up is SO like
ly on an ordinary night journey that
you must make up the beds with cs-
pecial reference to such IL contingent
cy?'
II dunno bout dat in particular.
But dey say dat every railroader
gifts it in co'se oh time Of he on'y
stays on dc road long enough. Well.
yer see, de night dat lie gifts it may
be de very trip when you is IL passen-
ger. Den you gifts, too. See?'

The ssTame Cat0 Girl.

Thereproach aimed by Americans
ut the English girl, viz, that she is
of the "tame cat" order, md tllat
her husband will trust her with his
bills or the darning of his socks, but
not with his ideas, isas great a mis-
conception, in many respects, as the
English estimate of American wo-
man, but from the American point
Of view it has some foundation in
fact. Weneed only look Mt the life
Of the ordinary Englishman to dis.
cover the foundation upon which
the exaggerated inference is based.
He always retains u tenderness for
his club, where he can ventilute
among his fcllow-men his i,lens
political, moral, and social, to which,
it is quite true, he does not, as Il rule,
treat his wife. II he has male friend
he can pass hours in his company
without being bored, which, unfor-
tunately, does not always happen in
the case of his wife. and the very fact
that women IRE the first to declare
that no wife wants her husband al
ways with her is n proof, more or
less, of n certaian incompntability of
temperament and thought. Pro-
bably it is OH these and kindred
grounds that the American forms
her opinion of the average English
girl, and, until she gains more en-
pcrience of English habits, imagincs
herself strictly correct. On the other
hand, for n f,,irand impartial opinion
of the American girl, ono must
apply rather to M English
man than an Englshwoman, for he
is more OH Il level with hcrin thought
and more in touch with her in idea.
1t is no secrcct that the unprecedented,
educated Englislman is ~ general
favorite with American women. II
he has n particle of discernmcnt he
very soon discovers that American
freedom ia by no mems n synonym
orlicense, and when he has fully as
simulated that idea he finds his rela-
tions with the mice" American girl
most charming and cordial and fas-
cinating. But in the matter of pro-
priety of behavior he discovers she is
memorable, and that, so far from
hcing permitted more license of
speech or action, lie in reality en-
joys less.-The National Review.

Rcsc,nbled Wilkes Booth.

Samuel W.. Pcarce, II grain dealer
of Providence, II. L.. died the other
day, of peritonitis, aged 4s years.
At the time of the assassination of
President Lincoln, Pearce and his
sister, Mrs. Stevenson, had a narrow
escape from lynching or death by
shooting, and when the order went
out to arrest Wilkes Booth and Mrs.
Surratt nll Grains were searched and
the Providence couple were arrested.
lcnrce bore IL striking resemblance
to Booth and Mrs. Stevenson is said
to have looked like Mrs. Surratt.
While they were incarcerated in For
tress Monroe, where they were at
once hurried, Notwithstanding their
protestations, they were threatened
with death by the soldiers and by n
mob, and Pearce always said il was
by Il miracle that he and his sister
escaped. He appealed to the govern
ment and to Gov. james Y. Smith, of
Rhode Island, whom lie knew nor.
sonally, for aid. Several influential
persons were then sent south, and
the man TINT looked like Wilkes
Booth was set Mt liberty. About a
dozen years ago story gained con
siderable prominence in the press to
the effect that the assassin Booth
was still alive. The man referred
to was the Providence grain dealer.

livered Harkins gave the boy IL $50
bill in payment. As the hoy was 90
ing Harkins suggested that the bill
lie put into IN envelope for greater
safety. The boy handed the bin to
Him and he apparently put it into
an envelope. When thcenvclopc was
opened by the tailor it contained IL
81 bill. Harkins was arrested, cllarg-
ed with having substituted the 81 for
the $50 bill, and was convicted of
larcency of the clothes. When he
was brought up to lie sentenced his
counsel moved for /, new trial on the
ground that the prisoner was not
guilty oflarceny, as he did not steal
the clothes; it was not larceny of the
money, as he did not steal it: it could
hardly he false pretcnses, as he act
ually paid the money to the tailor's
agent, who gave it back to him.

Some years ago my stable and lot

rible pests. After u visit to the stable
it was no uncommon experience to
catch from off my clothes n dozen or
more OF the jumpers, to say nothing

by giving "iits' to the female men,

of desperation, and just after having
purchased five gallon can of coal

be advisable to give them n dose of
that, and Immediately acted upon
what now consider a henvenborn
idea. ! took Il common flower sprink-
Ter holding about n gallon and filled
it full of oil, and then went over the
ground in rapid manner, but let
ting the oil come freely. then gave

FOR THE FARMER.
Asrlcsltsral xatss.

A flock of poultry on d form Is in
dispensable to the setting of a good
table.
A hen always begins to wire her
feet when she goesinto a newly-made
flower-bed.
DO not allow the wnter to stand
around the smnll-fruit plants; see
good surface drainage is provided.
Wheat gives hone and muscle to
fowls. Feed the chicks plenty Of
cracked whent. Ifyou cannot buy
it cracked grind it in IL coffee mill.
The conditions for seeding have
rarely been more favorable than this
spring. Timely rains and warm, but
not sultry, days have promoted q
vigorous start OF early sown grain.
Fathomless mud in country roads,
with stones Astounding in adjacent
fields, suggests to the mind an evil
and it's curc-permanent cure if the
effort be made in good earnest.
Put the finest and best manure in
the garden. Use the coarse manure
on corn. Endcavor, however, to have
the whole heap well rotted before u.s.
ing.
Avoid sod ground forstrawbcrries,
says IL wcll-known fruit grower, us it

which have IL great fondncss for straw

One brcncly animal among a lot
will not only do considerable damage,
but will at the same time teach the
Others the same habit. Poor fences
is one cause for stock becoming
brcachy.
Very green material should not be
stored in the silo. Let the seed heads
form, and cut the plants when the
seeds are about to turn. Corn fodder
for ensilagc is usually cut just when
the ears are glazed. Ifcut earlier it
is not as nutritious, and is not SO
well adapted for keeping.
Over 1000, 100000 forest trees
were planted on the prairics of the
Northwestern year. Nebraska plant
cd the largest number, Kansas second,
Dakota third and Minnesota fourth.
With this rate of tree planting, the
blizzard will soon he a thing of the
past, extremes OF heat and cold will
be modified and extensive droughts
less frequent.

How 'ssTiPpecanoe" Harrison was
Saved

The battle of Tippecannoe was
fought November 9TH, 1911, in
Indiana, on the banks of Tippecanoe
River, ON the site of the present
village of Battle Ground, between
the Americans under General Har.
rison, and the Indians under the
Prophet, Tccumseh's brother.
After the famous battle until the
end of his days General Harrison.
grandfather of President Harrison,
was known by the loving sobriquct
of"Tippecanoe."
Following his brilliant achieve
ments in arms, now more than three
quarters ofa century ago, General
Harrison, together with many of his
troops, was stricken with disease
contracted through lack of proper
food. and exposure to the miasma Of
that section of Indiana, and for n
time his life was despaired of.
Several of his command
lay for weeks. suffering the horrors
ot disease upon the hanks of the
Tipmcanoc River, which rises in II
lake OF the same name in the north
ernpart of the state, flows southwest
200 miles and empties into the
Wabash nine miles above Lafayette.
General lIarrison's troops were
threatened with defamation, and the
skill of the army surgeons was EN-
plovctl in vain to cnmbnt Il more
terrible and deadly enemy than even
che hostile aborigincs under Tccum-
sell' brother.
But relief came ut last.
General Harrison very sensibly
concluded that residents of the
neighborhood-nay, the Indians
themselvcs--kncw natures specific
for the disease which had FRUSTRATED
lin and many Of his command. and
instantly set on foot enquiries with
Al view to asccrtaining and applying
the remedies. They were speedily
found and put to test, and worked
like Il charm. Under their use the
stricken soldiers were promptly re-
stored to their wontcd good health
and vigor.
Thcmedicincs were preparations OF
simple roots and herbs, based upon
very old-fashioncd but effective and
natural formulate. Their intrinsic
merits hive been known and utilized
for generations among people living
in remote and malarial sections OF
the country.
Many of these invaluable formulate
have within the last two years como
into possession OF Hon. II. II. War

factory in the world, and whose Safe
