that the seed makes the richest OF food for
cattle. Then they were made to produce fine
substitute for olive OIL Then came the manu-
facture OF vegetable lard, aud a compound lard
made from mixture of this and hogs lard,
considered by many superior to either. Then il
was discovered that for fuel they are adapted to

most valuable of fertilizers. Recently 1t has
been discovered that the bark of the shrub con-
tains an easily separable and very tough
fiber, suited for coarse baggings, car

AN OBJECT LESSON.

New Hampshire in 1880 had popula-
ton of 3i6,991. The area of the state is
zoos square miles. The population of
Vermont was 332, 2S6; area, 9,135 square
miles. It will be observed that while the
area of Vermont is 1870 square miles
greater, the population in 1880 was IA, 705
less, leaving in Doth respects the wider
margin for increase. The states are quite
similar in topography, the advantage be-
ing in favor of Vermont as to proportion
OF habitable and tillable area.
But during the past decade the latter
state has, as heretofore. been devoted
mainly to agriculture and has attempted
but little Advancement in manufactures.
New Hampshire, on the other hand, has
very materially extended her manufacture
ing enterprises. Vermont has barely held
its own In population. New Hampshire
shows an increase of 10000 AT the begin
ming of the decade both states had large
number of abandoned FARMS" New
Hampshire has disposed of nearly quar-
ter of hers to good advantage. Vermont
has located three Swedish colonies, who
are not satisfied. and the prospect for the
future is gloomy.
These simple facts speak volumes for the
advantages to be derived from encourage
ing manufactures. They are unanswer-
able. lone such fact is worth ten thousand
theories"

THE SPECIAL SESSION.

The state legislature viii convene at
Olympia In special session to-day for the
special business of apportioning and dis
tricting anew the members of the Senate
and House of Representatives, upon the
basis of the recent census. The law au-
thorixing this work. and under which it
shall be performed. is found in the state
constitution, Article 2. Section 2. as follows:
Sec. 8. The legislature shall provide bylaws for
m enumeration OF the inhabitants OF the state in
the year one thousand eight hundred and
nincty-ive, and every ten years thereafter; and
1t the first session after each enumeration made
by the authority of the United States, the legis.
lature shall apportion and district anew the
members OF the Senate and House of Repre-
sentatives, according to the number of inhab-
itants, excluding Indians not taxed, soldiers,
sailors and officers OF the United States army
and navy In active service.
There ought to be no great difficulty in
doing this work. And when it is done the
legislature should adjourn. 1t has indeed,
II 1t chooses to exercise 1t, the power to take
up general legislation but it would be the
wiser policy to confne the session to the
particular business in hand and postpone
consideration of general legislation to the
regular session which will convene early in
January--four months from now. There
Is nothing so urgent that 1t cannot wait.

STORY OF JUAN DE FUcA.
How the Old Greek Entered the Gate

How the Old Greek Entered the Gate
way of Puget Sound.
James G. Swan in Washington Magazine.
Juan de Fucs. a Greek of Cephalonia, whose
real name was Apps olos Valerianos, had been
employed for upwards of forty years In the ser.
vice of Spain as q mariner and pilot. On his
return from his voyages, being In Venice in
1896, he gave an account of his last expedition
to Michael Lcck, an Englishman, who inserted
this account in paper which Samuel Purchas
has preserved for US in his collection of yoy.
ages.
Fuea, according to the account he gave, had
been dispatched from the harbor of Acapulco in
1872 by the viceroy OF Mexico, with a small
caravel and pinnace. for the purpose of dis
covering the communication by the north of
America between the Great or Pacific ocean ana
the Atlantic ocean. He saw between the forty-
seventh and forty-eighth parallel that the land
trended to the north asst, and presented a large
opening which night be q strait He con-
tinued sailing In it for the space of twenty DAYS
In some places it is said that the lanf extended
towards the northeast; in others towards the
northwest: and the passage, which became
much wider than it was at its opening. CON-
tanned several islands. Fuca frequently went
on shore, and saw q number of inhabitants
clothed with skins of animals; the country ap-
peared to him very fertile, and it abounded
with gold, silver and pearls. He thus reached
the Atlantic ocean.
He had found that the strait throughout all
its length, is Of width sufficient for nayiga.
ton, and the mouth by which he had entered IL
appeared to him to be thirty or forty leagues
wide.
Two motives then decided him to effect his
return by the same passage; on the one hand.
the object of his mission was ACCOMPLISHED
the communication of the two seas across the
continent OF America was discovered; on the
other, he was afraid that il he happened To ha
attacked by the savages. he was too weak for re-
sisting their number. He therefore returned tn
Acapulco. where for two years he warmly solic-
tied the reward which he seemed to deserve for
a discovery that opened to Spain new source
of wealth and prosperity
