a lumber pile made of boards, each 100
feet long and feet in width would be an
unprecedented sight in the east, but a
gentleman recently returned from a visit
the coast OF the North Pacific ocean
says that plies of timber such as that are
common at the mills on Puget Sound.
Boards 100 feet long and 6 feet wide,
without a knot in them," he says, "are
cpmmcn cuts from the gigantic fir trees
of the Puget sound forests. These trees
grow to the enormous height of $50 feet,
and the forests are SO vast that although
the saw mills have been ripping 500, ,000,-
900 feet of lumber out of them every year
for ten years. the spaces made BIZ these
emendous inroads seem no smore than
garden patches. Puget sound has 1,S00
miles of shore line, and all along this line
aud all along this line and extending
thence on both sides miles and miles
further than the eye can see, Is one vast
and almost unbroken forest of these
enormous trees. There is nothing like it
anywhere on the Pacific coast. An Off
cial estimate places the amount of stand
ing timber in that area at 500, 600, 900, ,0C0
feet, or thousand years supply, even
at the enormous rate the timber is now
being fe.led and sawed. The timber
belt covers 10000, 900 acres of Washing
ton Territory, an area eqnal to the states
of Vermont, Massachusetts, Connecticut,
and New Hampshire. The markets for
the Puget sound lumber are entirely for.

The Right Sort Of Girl.

The lass who gets to college, yet who knows
With vegetable marrow and with cocky-locky
too,
Who can muse on the digamma, or nu ephel-
kustikon
And yet never be unmindful that the por-
r1dge-pot is on.
The girl who's up in" puddings and III pier
and politics,
Who can compound a gravy, or confound
church beretics,
Talk right feelingly of Hegel, or knowingly
on Kant,
And yet be with her cook'ry book as deeply
cOnyersant.
The maiden who can charm you with Bach
Mendelssohn,
Knows when the moons in apogee, can quote
ADacreon,
And yet who can boil potatoes, knows when a
turnips done,
Can mould the restful doughnut and the fes-
tive currant bun.
And the mathematic maiden who can criticize
Laplace,
Or whose chemical dexterity can analyze a
gas:
Who can also sew a button where a button
ought TO be,
And, if needful. WELD tho duster and the
brOOmstick skilfully.
And she. the best and dearest, whose native
com non sense
Escheweth ice-cream blandishment, the cara
mels expens",
Who quoteth Dio Lewis, goeth early to her
bed,
And riseth in the morning with a clear and
cheerful head.

"THE GREAT BELL OF MOSCOW" +"

Inside the kremlin are three cathe-
drals; the Cathedral of the Annnnciation,
where all the czars are baptized; the Ca
thedral OF the Assumption, where all are
crowned, and the Cathedral of the Ar
changel Michael, where all the emperors
were buried up to the time of Peter the
Great. These are all as are most of the
churches in Moscow, built in the Moorish
style Of architecture and most elaborate
ly decorated. Recently, in the Church
Of the Assumption, which was being re
novated, several very ancient pictures
wele brought to light on the wall, and
these have been carefully preserved.
One of them represents several scenes
from the life of Jonah, and is very
unique in its way. On one side the pro-
pbet is being thrown overheard from an
exec elinelE rickety locking ship. Then

and tail Cn all about Jonshs sZe) is

the crowning masterpiece of the whole
picture is where Jonah-now safe on
land-is bidding the whale good by in
the most elaborate and polite Russian
manner.
Near by these churches is the tower of
Ivan the Great very lofty ard containing
some fifty two bells, many of them of
vcry large size. At the foot of the tower
IS the ''Tsar Kolokoi,'' or the "King
}ell, ''the great bell of Moscow" of
which we have heard all our lives. 1t is

The Curriculum at Annapolis.

Outside of the technical studies, the
course of instruction at the Naval
Academy is comprehended in the one
word "Math." ''Math" is the cadets
abbreviation for mathematics, the rock
upon which many an aspirant for naval
honors is wrecked. OF course there is
instruction in other branches-modern
languages, English studies, natural
sciences, etc.-but cadet soon realizes
that the great steppingstone is mathe-
matics. When a graduate looks back
upon what he has passed through, his
most vivid recollections are of his hy-
dra-headed '.Math;" of the algebra
and geometry that worried him as a
"plebe," and of the applied mechanics
that took away half the pleasure of his
senior year. What struggle it was
to weed out all youthful Imagination
from the mind, and to plant there
only those ideas that could be express
ed in mathematical formula! And yet
Maths Importance is not overrated,
for it is the groundwork of many of
the professional studies. Naval Archi-
to design and build ship; navigation,
which teaches them how to guide this
ship across the trackless ocean; ord
nance, which teaches them the methods
of constructing and using the great
guns; steam engineering, which teaches
them the many applications of that
great motive power all require a
thorough knowledge of mathematics.
While the theoretical part of the
education may prove irksome to those
who are filled with spirit of adven-
ture,-who might have succeeded bet
ter in the days of the old navy, when
there was wider scope for such tenn
peraments,-thesew will find the practi-
cal instructions more to their liking.
Here they can satisfy their longing to
hang by the heels on royal yard, or
to put pistol shot through wooden
soldier at twenty PAGES. These drills
are based on the general principle
that before cadet can become an Off
Ger he must be thoroughly familiar
under his command. The only way to
attain this familiarity is by actually
performing these duties in every de-
tail.
The drills afoat, in which there is
quite a large fleet engaged, are partic-
ularly novel and interesting. Every
Saturday the cadets embark on the
wyoming" ship-rigged steamer,
and make cruise in The bay. They
do all the work. Down in the fire
room some of them are heaving coal
into the roaring furnaces. others are
in the engine-room looking out for all
the machinery. On deck, youthful
sailors are running up and down the
rigging, ready, at the call of the boat
swain's pipe, to handle the light spars
or heavy sails.-John II. Gibbons, U. S.

CHINESE HORRORS.

The Peking Gazette gives q horrible
story from the official report of the gov
ernor of the Yunnan of the burning to
death of farmer of that province for
stealing an ear of corn. 1t seems that
turing the Ynnnan rebellion q law was
passed making thefts of corn and fruits in
the field an otfense punishable, by burn
ing to death. The victims relatives
were required to sign a document decIar-
ing they agreed to the penalty, and were
forced to light the fire to bar them from
bringing damage suit. This horrible
practice the authorities have tried TO ex-
tirpate, but vainly. A few months ago
in har. time, farmer named Peng
Chao Sheng, while going to watch his
field, plucked an ear of corn from a
neighbor's field. He was seen and being
shouted at dropped the corn. The
matter was referred to the owner of the
field, aud he, with his tenant seized
Peng, and demanded the death penalty.
PeDg's mother offered to make restitution
by forfeiting all her property, but this
was refused. She was forced to give her
written consent under threats of death,
and was actually made to light the heap
Of brushwood and witness the terrible
dying agonies of her son. AS soon as
she could escape she reported the crime
to the authorities. The two men were
arrested and tried. The landlord was
punished by the lingering process-thatis is
his flesh was hacked with knives until he
slowly expired in awful torment, the
farmer, who lost the ear of corn, being
beheaded. There is no question of the Sc
facts, rs the report is official. Fran

Signing the Emancipation Procla-
nation.

In the Century Messrs. Nicolay and
Hay close that part of the Life dealing
with the Emancipation Proclamation
as follows: '.Mr. Lincoln took the
various manuscript notes and mem
oranda which his Cabinet advisers
brought him on the 31st of December
QS62), and during that afternoon and
the following morning with his own
hand carefully rewrote the entire body
of the draft of the proclamation. The
blanks left to designate fractional
parts of States he filled according to
official advices of military limits; and
in the closing paragraph suggested by
Chase he added, after the words war
ranted by the Constitution his own
important qualifying correction, upon
military necessity
at is a custom in the Executive
Mansion to hold on New Years Day
an official and public reception, be-
ginning at IL O'Clock in the morning,
which keeps the President at his post
in the Blue Room until 2 in tie after
noon. The hour for this reception
came before Mr. Lincoln had entirely
finished revising the engrossed copy Of
the proclamation, and he was COM
PEELED to hurry away from his office to
friendly handshaking and festal greet
ing with the rapidly arriving official
and diplomatic guests. The rigid
laws of etiquette held him to this duty
for hours. Had actual necessity re-
quired 1.-THE could of course have left such
mere social occupation at any moment;
but the President saw no occasion
for precipitancy. On the other hand,
he probably deemed it wise that the
completion of this momentous execu-
tive act should be attended by every
circumstance of deliberation. Vast as
were its consequences, the act itself
was only the simplest and briefest
formality. 1t could in no wise be made
sensational or dramatic. Those
characteristics attached, if at all, only
to the long past decisions and an
nouncements of July % and Septem-
Der p of the previous year. Those
dates had witnessed the mental con-
fiict and the moral victory. No cere-
mony was attempted or made of this
final official signing. The afternoon
was well advanced when Mr.. Lincoln
went back from his New Years greet

that it was an effort to hold the pen.
There was no special convocation of
the Cabinet or of prominent officials.
Those who were in the house came to
the executive Office merely from the
personal impulse of curiosity joined to
momentary convenience. His sigma
ture was attached to one of the great
est and most beneiicent military de-
crees Of history in the presence of less
than dozen persons; after which it
was carried to the Department of State
to be attested by the great seal and
deposited among the official archives"

A Bank Change.

An important change in bank
matters has recently taken place
which will have a very beneficial
influence on Salem. The late VIII
liam Stuart of Scotland, who died
about year ago, was the founder
of the First National bank of this
city and the owner Of s25, 900 Of the
stock of the bank. He was also
owner of the very handsome build
ing in which the bank is now lo-
Gated. Negotiations have been
lately pending between tbe directors
and local shareholders If the bank
and the heirs Of Mr.. Stuart, which
have been culmihsaHd in the pur-
chase of the building by the bank
and the shares Ny he present Of
ficers and shafeholders.s A good
portion of the $50 shares purchased
have already been replaced and the
directors of the bank have wisely
decided not to sell shares to any nom
residents, but to confine the stock
entirely to Salem and its vicinity,
thus making the bank exclusively a
local institution.
