1t is well known to all who have studied
music that there are three fundamental
notes, viz: The first, third and fifth of
the scale, represented in the natural key
These notes, when sounded together, pro-
duce the common chord, and are the
foundation of all harmony in musical
composition. So it is in chromatics-
there are likewise only three funda-
mental colors-blue, red and yellow,
forming the triad, whence arises all har-
mony in painting.-Dry Goods Chronicle.

War AEAImSt The sW~RIl"wtAiI In Japan.
A newspaper and governmental cam
paign against dress suits is in progress in
Japan. OF late years the orthodox even
iLg dress of the men Of the Caucasian
world had gained great popularity in the
high society of the Japanese empire, and
II had become customary to write on all
invitation cards the word "Enbizukucha-
kuyo," that is, "Wear your dress suit"
Some of the old fashioned japanese who
were in the swim long before the customs
Of Caucasian society penetrated to the
interior, began a short time ago to object
to this sort of thing. The Choya, a
Japanese periodical, took up their cause.
1t argued at considerable length that the
japanese figure was too dumpy and the
Japanese legs too short to look well un-
der swallowtails. These arguments seem
to have had great weight with the gov
eminent, for it has decided to recall the
order requiring all persons present at the
opening of the parliament next summer
to wear dress suits.

Rohault de Fleury calculates that the
total volume of the wood of the cross
was somewhere about IFS, OO0, 900 cubic
millimeters. He has made a careful list
of all the relics of the true cross known
to exist in C~hristendom at the present
day, with their measurements, and finds
the volume to be about 3,942, 900 cubic
millimeters, so that, as might have been
expected, the greater part of the holy
rood has disappeared. He also had the
opportunity of making a microscopical
examination of different relics, and
comes to the conclusion that the wood
was either pine or something closely al
lied to it.
OF places where relics Of the holy cross
nave accumulated, Mount Athos stands
pre-eminent, with a total volume Of $751;
800 cubic millimeters; then Rome, with
537, 5s7; Brussels, SIC 900; Venice, 49,

Of the coast is Mckenzie passage, a little
to the westward Of Kingcome inlet. 1t Is
a chasu about six miles in length, lead
ing to the base Of an isolated and broken
peak, 1906 feet high. The walls are very
close together, vertical and snow crowned.

bitter cold, unmoved by any wind, and
no living being enters its solitude. J

wonderful is an inlet tributary to Deans
canal.
Some OF the tide sluices are very dan
gerous, and many lives have been lost in
them. A great puzzle they were to early
travellers, who found cataracts OF sea
water pouring into many of the inlets.
They are explained by the existence be-
hind them Of large basins filled by the
food tide, the outlets being too small for
its ready escape at the ebb. Some of
these salt water cataracts are as much
az twelve feet high. There is n minia-
ture example at the gorge, near this city.

A Toad Takes off His Coat

It is safe to say that but few people
have ever been fortunate enough to
catch toad in the act of changing
his skin. A man who processes to
have been an eyewitness to such a
transaction describes the novel oper-
alton:
The toad pressed his elbows against
his side downward. After few smart
rubs his skin began to burst open
along his back, but he appeared to be
unconcerned, and kept on rubbing
until he had worked his skin into
folds on his sides and hips.
Then, grasping one hind leg with
his forelegs, he pulled the skin from
the leg as slick as a man would a
pair of pants; then stripped the other
hind leg in the same way. He next
took the cast-off portion of his cuticle
and pulled it forward between his
forelegs until he could catch it in his
mouth, whereupon he forthwith be-
gan to swallow it; then, by raising and
lowering his head. swallowing as the
head bent forward each time, he strip
ped off the skin underneath until it
came to his forelegs.
At this stage OF the curious pro.
ceedipgs he grasped one of the fore
legs with the opposite paw, and with
much pulling stripped off the skin !:
changing hands, he stripped the other
and by slight motion of the head.
all the time swallowing, he drew it
from the neck and swallowed the
whole The entire operation occupie d
but few minutes Of time,

WE were recently asked by a
devotee to the lottery, for the ad-
dress OF the Louisiana Lottery or
its manager. For his benefit we
will state that the postal depart.
ment will not transmit money to
the lottery, and that its charter has
been revoked, although it is re-
ported that they offered to pay the
public debt of Louisiana, some
100000, If they were granted a
new charter, which shows plainly
that the scheme was too profitable
to be legitimate. The Oregonian
says; "The Louisiana lottery dies
hard. 1t has not yet given up all
hope OF getting a charter from
North Dakota, and it is making
the most of it's last days of power
in New Orleans. The most ingen-
lous scheme of the lottery company,
however, is to get a charter from
the Choctaw nation in Indian ter
rito'y. An act giving them such
a charter was passed by the Choc-
taw legislature two weeks ago.
This is a curious survival of the
old claim Of the Indian tribes to
be consi dcred as independent ma
tons. 1t is difficult to see on
what ground this Choctaw charter
can claim validity in the United
States. If the Choctaw nation is
a territory its acts can be disallow-
ed by congress. 1t it is a foreign
nation, it's acts lose the benefit of
the constitutional guarantee which
makes the laws of one state good
IN every other, Certainly the Choc-
taw nation isn't state. The lot
terry is building on a very sandy
founGati on in the Indian territory"

Water Mail ROutes

In the extent of its steamboat mai
routes Washington stands second Of
all the states in the Union, ONLY one
state leading it. While Washington
stands so near the head of the list in
this respect, it is somewhat humiliat-
ing to know that it is the diminutive
state of Maryland that leads it. The
neighboring state of Oregon has but
one-s1xsh as many miles in its steamer
mail routes as Washington.
The last general report of the post
master general shows that Washing.
ton has 9O7 miles of steamboas mail
routes, and the number of miles trav-
eled annually by the mail boats is 300
OOO. OF these 907 miles, 1884 start
from Seattle.
The state of Maryland, the onIv
one which is ahead of WASHINGTON
has l ,25O miles in its mail routes and
4oOOOA miles are traversed annually
by the mail steamers. Florida comes
third, with 874 miles,, and Missouri
fourth, with 802 miles.
The government pays for these
mail routes in this state $4,000: in
Florida $87 900, and in Missouri S45
600. '' ~4o'
Oregon has but 154 miles OF wafer
mail transportation.
Washington is also the terminus of
mail routes to other states and terri.

During the past ten years the mail
service on the water ways of Wash
lngton has been greatly improved
FONTS that formerly received orly oe-
caslonal mails on slow and uncertain
BOATS, are now served regularly either
daily or every other day. The rand
building of railways, however. has con.
siderably decreased the number Of
steamer mail routes, and it is probable
mat the present Number of water
routes Will decrease very largely in the
next few years, as consequence of
the completion of new railroads now
beng built or projected.
Inc Two largest steamboat mail
routes in Washington at the present
time are the Port Townsend and So.
attic and the Whatcom and Seattle
routes
"A few years ago, when steamboats,
were not SO numerous nor COMPETE
ZION so active, the Port Townsend
route cost the government $37 900 per
year. Since 1873 it has steadily de.
creased, and is now slightly over S1S-
VOO. The route to Whatcom WIKI,
now costs the government something
over $oOO0 per year, is the second
route In siza in the state. This

oy rail route, and Washington will
cease to hold her position

that she now holds.-P..I.

One important action of the as
SCISSORS convention was the pas
sage OF a resolution favoring the
repeal of the present mortgage tax
law. The object of the passage of
this law was for the state to derive
some revenue from the immense
amount OF foreign capital invested,
and undoubtedly the legislators
were honest in believing that such
a measure would accomplish this
result. Practical experience has
demonstrated that the borrower is
forced to pay the amount of the
tax, and not the lender. Money
is governed by the same law of sup
ply and demand that wheat or other
necessary commodities. 1.-The who
is desirious Of loan approaches a
money lender he is forced to pay
the ruling rate of interest for the
use OF tbs money. In case a mort
gage is given, the per cent of
taxes is charged to the prevailing
rate OF interest, and the poor man
has to bear the increased burden.
Legislation cannot change this, no
more than it can the price of pro-
duct Of the farm. In case laws
are too stringent, the capitalist
will seek another market. the same
as the wheat seller. There are
times, perhaps, in every persons
experience, when money is more
valuable than at others; and in
such emergencies a much higher
rate OF interest is readily paid. In
this stage of our development for
eign capital is very welcome in this
state, and it will be very advan-
tageous if it can be procured. The
reason for the act never existed,
even if it had not reacted on the
portion Of the community which
e was designed to benetit.-Times
