A Mine of Beeswax.

No one has ever been able to give an
authentic account of how such enormous
quantities of beeswax came to be de-
posted on the beach near Nehalem.
Specimens are found along the beach in
various places, but it is most plentiful
near the mouth of the Nehalem. AS the
sea shifts the bars, pieces of it are
washed ashore, and large quantities are
found by ploughing in some of the low
land near the beach. There are spots
where the sea has never reached in the
memory of the oldest settlers, and which
are covered with good sized growth of
spruce, where deposits of the wax may
be found by digging. Specimens of the
wax may be found at the house of any
settler on the beach, and to all appear
ances it is genuine beeswax. Several
tons have been unearthed, and one man
shipped large amount to San Francisco
once, for which he received $500. In
quality it is as good as any in the mar
ket, and has retained its familiar odor
through all its rough usage and age. 1t
is supposed by some, and so stated, that
it came from the wreck of Spanish
vessel over century ago. Others say it
came from wrecked Chinese junk.
These traditions in regard to the wrecks
come from the Indians and are not re-
liable. 1t is possible that this beeswax
is really "lost treasure" which people
are digging for on the Nehalem.-[Tilla-

It is all nonsense, this talk of China
men living on a bit of rice or something
of that sort. 1t is true that the Chinese
are frugal, and that they do not throw
money away. But it is not true, how
ever, that they starve themselves. I
have had good deal to do with them,
and am free to say that they are bet
ter customers than a good many of their
critics. Cinnamon like good food as well
as other people, and if they can afford to
buy it they have it. They are so consti-
tuted that they do not require as much
of certain kinds of food as do Americans,
but do not for moment imagine that
they do not know what good food is or
that they do not enjoy it fully as much
as other men do. What is more,
when John buys he buys the best article
in the market and pays the best price.
He has his own dainties, which he gets
Ut the Chinese groceries, but he is also
partial to some of the goods sold in
American stores. am of the opinion
that the Chinese, as rule, have better
food, and more of it, than most of our
ordinary laborers, for most Cinnamon
have money, and most of them spend it
more freely than the general public be-
lieve.-[New York Correspondence.

Mr.. Rudyard Kipling, the new Anglo
Indian author, whose popularity is SC
great in London, was lately OF visit to
this country, and writes as follows about
the American girl:
"The American girls are pretty-very
much so-with a piquancy, all of their
own, impossible to describe as to resist
Sweet and comedy are the maidens of
Devonshire; delicate and of precious
seeming those who live in the pleasant
places of London; fascinating for all
their occurrences the damsels of France

with large eyes wondering at the wicked
world; excellent in her own place, and
to those who understand her, is the

son; but the girls of America are above
and beyond them all. They are clever,
they can talk; yea, it is said they can

gard you with unabashed eyes, as a Sis

of the male mind, for they have associ-

discerningly minister to both vices or

1t is familiar fact that COWS go into
the water in hot days for GOODNESS and
to escape the annoyance of flies. They
will al wade into deep water to feed
upon the grasses growing in boys; but it
is not so common to find them in the
nabit of swimming as they are reported
to have done at Fort William, on the
Kaministiquia River, north of Lake
Superior. Perhaps the present genera
ton of COWS do not, for the book from
which we quote was published 40 years
ago:
LAS the pasturage on the other side
of the river is much better than about
the fort, the COWS swim across regularly
every morning and back in the evening,
a distance of more than 300 yards. l

our arrival, when the cattle We're let out

whole drove following her, swimming
with only their noses, horns, and tails
showing above water.

not only lad of pluck, but he is also a
good deal of a philosopher. A few days
ago, as stated in the daily press at the
time, he was feeding the horse, when
the animal got the third finger of his left
hand between his teeth and crushed it.
A surgeon was summoned, and prepared
to dress the injured member.

hand and critically examining it, "can
you save the finger?"

is crushed, and I will have to amputate
it at the first joint.

1t Was the Way of Our Fathers.

Kate Field has made the important
discovery from the archives that George
Washington not only drank intoxicating
liquor himself, but drew up an agree
ment with his gardener, Philip Batter,
arranging for occasional bursts of intem-
perance on the part of the able gardener,
who seems to have been a favorite with
Washington. She says: Washington
doubtless valued Batter and wanted to
keep him sober. With this aim in view,
the agreement allowed Batter dram in
the morning and drink of grog at din
ner and at noon Then Washington
promised to give Batter 81 at Christmas
with which to be drunk four days and
four nights SO at Easter to effect the
same purpose, and 2 at Whitsuntide to
be drunk two DAYS."

THE DEATH OF PUCK.

Academy, are worthy of pla' where:
fear that Puck is deatl-it is so long
Since men last him-dcad with all the
OF that sweet etin crew that make their nest
In hollow huts, where hazelS sing their .ong;
Dead and forever like the antique throng
The elves replaced; the Dryad that you
Guessed
Behind the leaves; the Naiad weed be
The leaf-eared Faun that loved to lead you
wrong.
Tell me- thou hopping Robin, hast thou met
A little man, no bigger than thyse'f
Whom they call Puck, W! ere woodland
bells are wet?
Tell me- thou Wood Mouse, hast thou seen an
elf.
Whom they call Puck, and is he seated yet,
Capped with snail shell on his mushroom
shelf:
The Robin gave three hops, and chirpcd and
fad
'Yes. know Puck, l loved him; though I
He mimickcd Of my whistle, Oh c>liug low;
Yes, knew Cousin Puck; but ..e is dead.
1--WE found him lying on his mus rr0Dm bed
The Wren and half covered III with Snow,
As we were hopping where the bcrr cs Irow
We think he died of cold. Az, Puck is
dead
And then the Wood Mouse said: ave made
the Mole,
The old blind Mole dig deep beneath the

And some big Dormice placed him in The hole.

Puck was Christian elf, and bad Il soul;
And all we velvet Jackets mourn his loss"

possess moreover, a life among them
selves independent of any masculine as
sociations. They have societies and
clubs and unlimited tea fights where all
the guests are girls. They are self pos
sessed without parting with any tender
ness that is their sex right. They under
stand. They can take care of themselves.
They arr su erbly independent. When
you ask them what makes them so
charming they say: 1T is because we
are better educated than your girls and
We are more sensible in regard to men.
We have good times all around, but
aren't taught to regard every man as a
possible husband. Nor is he expected to
marry the first girl he calls on regularly.
Yes, they have good times. Their free
dom is large and they do not abuse it.
They can go driving with young men
and receive mods from young men to an
extent that would make an English
mother wink with horror; and neither
driver nor drivee have thought beyond
the en- ioyment of a good time.
But this freedom of the young girl
has its draw backs. She isl say it with
all reluctance - irreverent from her
forty dollar bonnet to the buckles on her
eighteen dollar shoes. She talks flip
PANTY to her parents. She has pre-
scriptive right to the society of the man
who arrives The parents admit it.
This is sometimes embarrassing, espe-
cially when you call on man and his
wife for the sake of information; the
one being merchant of varied knowl-
edge, the other woman of the world.
In five minutes your host has vanished.
In another five his wife has followed
him, and you are left alone with a very
charming maiden doubtless, but GER
oainly not the person you came to see.

RriranlS Outwitted,

Fenimore Cooper, in his stories of hair
breadth escapes from Indians, never hit
upon a more extraordinary device for
eluding pursuit than one which was re-
lated to President Carnot during recent
tour in Corsica. A French traveller, so
the story went, ventured, some years
ago, to pass through a mountainous dis
trict of Corsica without escort or any
means of protection and in crossing
particularly rough and craggy region,
found himself pursued by a band of
brigands.
AS the traveller had some money on
his person. aud feared that, besides be-
ing robbed, he would be held in cap
tivity for ransom, even if he were not
put to death, he took to flight.
Knowing little of the country, he soon
stumbled upon the border of lake in
the mountains. There was no path
around it; it was impossible to swim
across it, and the brigands We're behind
him, though he was hidden from them
as yet by the rocks.
Whatever he did must be done in an
instant. Necessity quickened his wits;
he saw at once way out of the diff
Guilty, and awaited himself of it.
He hastily cut with his knife one of
the long hollow reeds that grew on the
shore of the lake. Then he stopped up
his ears and nostrils with clay from the
wet margin, took the reed in his mouth,
and waded out into deep water, where
he remained submerged, with upturned
face, just allowing the upper end of the
reed to project above the surface.
On came the brigands, following the
travellers tracks to the waters edge.
But what had become of him? Had he
flown across? Certainly he could not
have swan. There was no other way of
escape, and the surface had by this time
stilled to perfect calm.
The brigands remained waiting on the
shore for some time, but no sign of the
traveller appeared. They concluded, at
last, that he was a sorcerer, who had
caused himself to vanish into thin air.
Then they disappeared, and the French
man, who had been under water all this
time, breathing through his tube, came
out He managed to keep under cover
and make his way to Ajaccio; and there
he declared that he had been under
water four hours.
1t is possible that his distress and
alarm may have caused this period to
appear many times longer than it really
was; but in confirmation of the main
part of his story the Frenchman brought
with him a water soaked section of a
hollow reed.
