The Boston Record psti-
mates that over 2,0O0,GuO
qnlnine pills, weighing about
a ton, have been consumed
by the people Of that city
during the past ten days.
1t arrives at this conclusion
after interviews with Drug
gists and pllysiciails, one
Wholesale drug firm alone
reporting a sale Of $1,000
pills on last Saturday. This
lisa largerquantity than B,1
ton usually consumes III Il
whole year, and it gives
about five pills to every man
,wossan and child in the sitv..
1t shows how strong u hold
''ia grippe has taken on the
locality. If other cities con-
sumo a proportional quanti-
ty' Of this drug during the
prevalence of the influenza
epidemic, a serious inroad
on the supply of quinine will
be made, and all advance il
its price may be the result.

Victoria's Throne.

The English throne, used
in the coronation ceremonies
of the Kings and Queens of
Great Britain, and which is
SO splendid in its covering of
rich silks, velvets and gold,
is, in fact, simply an old oak
chair Of antique pattern. 1t
has been usetl in all state oc-
casions for the last 900 years,
and perhaps even longer az
many reputable writer's claim
that they have discoveredtra-
ces of it's existence prior to
the eleventh century. Ages
of use have made the old
oak framework as hard and
tough as iron. The back and
hides of this chair throne
were formerly painted in va
rious colors, all of which are
now hidden by heavy hang
ings Of silk, satin and vel
vet.
The magic power attribu-
ed to the old relic lies in the
sent, which is made OF a hea-
w rough looking sandstone,
26 inches in length. 17Hinch-
es in width and 19H inches in
thickness. Long before il was
wrapped in velvet and trim
med in gold, to be used hy
the Tudors and the Stuards,
this old stone Of stones serv-
ed as q seat during. the coro-
nation OF the early Scottish
Kings Progressive Farmer.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
From our Regular Correspondent.
For the DEMOCRAT:


General Hancock uttered q
great truth, when he said q
few days after he was uomi
mated for the Presidency "the
tariff is a local issue" If ev.
itlence had been necessary to
prove this statement it has
been supplied ir large guam
titles by the statements made
to the House committee ON
Ways and means in the hear
ing now going on upon the
proposed new tariff bill which
tie Republicans of thatCom-
nittee are engaged in prepar
ing. For instance, the New
England manufactures say
that unless they are given
free coal and free iron ore
they will shortly be ruined
while the iron and coal peo-
pie Of Pennsylvania, Virgin
III, West Virginia and Ohio,
to say nothing of others,
stoutly maintain that unless
the present tariff on coal and
iron il kept where it is, or
raised, they will be ruined,
and will have to abandon
their mines. When Sen. Han
cock called the tariff a local
issue the smart-alecks
thought it was because he
was ignorant OF the subject
but since then many able
men, after years. OF study
have arrived at exactly the
same conclusion, because
there is no other logical con-
clusion. No tariff bill that
has ever been gotten up, or
ever will be, will give salts
faction to the entire couut.y.
II is simply impossible be-
cause the interests of one Sec
tion are always directly OPP
posed to those Of another
section.
Mr. Harrison returned to
the White House late Satur-
day night from a dnck-hunt-.
ing expedition down the Po-l
'tomac and james Rivers.
He also visited Lower Bran
don on the james, which was
the home Of his fo,nfathers
several generations ago and
which is still owned by an
other branch Of the nulnar,
ous Harrison family. He
came through Richmond Va,
where he was given a very
cordial reception.

AN UNKNOWN LAND.
A Section Of the y. s. Nerer
NOdden by White Men.

! = '~SSSSNH VI WIZ " sJs &VVtCf
NOdden by White Men.
Washington has a greatun
known land like the interior
of Africa, says the Seattle
Press. The country shut IN
BY the Olympic Mountains.
which includes an area of IL
bout $500 miles square, has
never, to the positive knowl
edge Of old residents Of The
territory, been trodden by
the foot 0f man, white or In
tlian. These mountains rise
from the level country witllT
in ten to fifteen miles of THE
straits of San Juan de- Fuca
in the Mort the Pacific o.
cean on the West, Hoods Ct,
nal in the East, and the t,a.
sin of Qninault lake in The
South, and rising to the
height of6toS thousond feet,
shut in ii vast unexplored a.
rea.
The most generally accept
ed theory in regard to the
country is, that it consisted
OF great valleys stretching
from the inward slopes of TIN
mountains to Il great central
basin. This theory is sup
PORTED by the fact that, al
though the country around
has abundant rain, and clou-
DIS hang over the mountain
tops, all the streams flowing
toward the four points OF thu
compass are insignificant,
and rise nn the outward slo,n.
OF the range, none appearing
to drain the great area shut
in by the mountains. The
TACT seems t0 support the the
ory that tl.estreams flowing
from the inner slopes of the
mountains feed a great inte-
rior lake. But what drains
this lake? 1t must have un
outlet somewhere. and as all
the streams pouring from
the mountains rise on their
outward slope, it must have
a subteranean outlet into the
ocean, straits or the sound.
There are great discoveries
in store for some OF Washing
tons explorers.
A gentleman named Drew,
now residing at Olympia,
states that he has climbed to
the summit of the eastern
range from Hoods canal,
and looking down could see
great valleys stretching to-
ward the west. A party Of
railroad prospectors claim
to have penetrated the interi
or, but could give no account
of it and appear only to|
have skirted the outer slopes
ten or fifteen miles from
Hoods canal. A party ofU- |
nited States soldiers are said
to have traveEsed the coun-
try from Port Townsend, but
no data is obtained as to
what they say.
: Numerous attempts have
been made to organize explo-
ring parties, but they have
invariablyfal through, the
courage Of protectors oozing|
out at the last moment,
There il u fine opportunity
for some Of thehardy citizens
Of the sound to acquire fame

which wraps thc land encir-

AGRICULTURAL sTORE-HOUSEs,
A Representative of the Farmers Alli-
ance Before the Senate Committee

A Representative of the Farmers Alli-
ance Before the Senate COMMITTEES.
WASHINGTON, May 14.-McCune, repre-
senting the Farmers Alliance, this morn
ing continued his argument before tn 9
ways and means committee in favor of the
Picker bill to establish sub treasures for
the receipt of agricultural products. To
his mind no fixed value of currency, no
matter how great, would meet the needs of
the agriculturist, who wanted an elastic
medium. The farmer holds his crops in
the fall when the prices are lowest. but he
bought his supplies before the harvest whom
prices we're highest, the crops being market
ed In two or three months. This annually
caused great stringency in money.
Flower feared the plan would lead to
banking on live stock, iron, lead and silver
latter direction at the other end of the cap
itol. The true remedy for the farmers ills
was the manufacturers plan. They should
regulate the production. Raise only enough
produce to meet the peoples wants and
thereby get fair prices.
McCune proceeded to explain the process
proposed to regulate the issue of produce
certificates. He said the necessity for ex-
Guiding imports of agricultural products
was obvious. If the quality of the certifi-
Gates was to be preserved the certificates
would constitute the soundest and best cur
rency in the world. Probably not half of
the $5O,OOO,OOO appropriation asked for to
put the new machinery in action would be
required, but the sum should not be abso-
lutely fixed at the minimum as in time it
would be necessary to extend the system to
include all products of labor not covered by
patents.
The hearing will be continued tomorrow.
