An Undiscovered Country.


 known land, like the interior o
 Africa, says the Seattle Press. The
 country shut in by the Olympic
 mountains, which includes an area
 of about 2,500 miles square, ha:
 never, to the positive knowledge oi old residents of the Territory, been
 trodden by the foot of man, white or Indian. The mountain rise from the level country, within ten or if teen miles of the Straits of San Juan de Fuca in the north, the Pa cifie ocean in the west. Hood' s canal in the east, and the basin of the .Quinault lake in the south and, rising to the height of 6,000 to 5000 feet shuts in a vast unex- plored area.
 The Indians have never penetra- ted it, for their traditions say that it is inhabited by a wild fierce tribe which none of the coast tribes dared molest. Though it is improbable that Isuch a tribe could have exist ed this mountain country with out'their presence becoming known to the white men, no man has ever ascertained that 1t did not exist. White men, too, have only vague accounts of any white man having ever passed through this country, for Investigation of all the claims of travellers has invariably proved tha9they have only traversed it's GU edges.
 The most generally accepted the- ofy anregard to this country is that it tconsisted of a great valley stretch ing from the inward slopes of the motptains to great central basin. This theory is supported by the fact that although the country around has abundant rain and clouds constantly hang over the mountain tops all the streams flow ing towards the four points of the compass are insignificant and rise only on the outward slopes of the range, none appearing to drain the great area shut in by the mountains This fact seems to support the the ory that the streams flowing from the inner slopes of the mountain feed a great interior lake. But | what drains this lake? It must have an outlet somwhere, and as all of the streams pouring from the noun tains rise on their outward slopes it must have a subterranean outlet into the ocean, the straits or the sound.

The diamond merchants both wholesale and retail, claim that prices have touched bottom and that the rise of 10 to 15 per centin the retail trade within the last six
 months will be steadily supplement- ed. The reason given is that the De Beers Mining Co.,, of South Afri- ca, controls 29-30ths of the output, and is in position to control the supply, and consequently the prices.

One WOn,auss Diet.

A physician has been making a series
of extended Investigations in the res
taurants of the shopping districts
around Twenty third street, with the
idea of writing a paper for promi-
nent medical journal on the cause OF
dyspepsia in American women. The
luncheons served to women who run
into the uptown restaurants for bit
of something to eat in the middle of
the day, when they are on their shop
ping excursions, are rather staggering
to students of hygiene. Pickles, fruit
cake. ice cream. soda water and hot
maple sugar is one of the most allur-
ing bills of fare that the physician has
yet collected. A woman who pursues
that diet every day in the year richly
deserves the fate of appearing in a
medical journal. New York Letter.

A LEVEL HEAD.
The Advantage Of Presence Of
Mind in an Emeruencv.

During the late strike on the New
York Central railroad, the militia were
ordered to be in readiness in case of a
riot, but they We're not called out.
III an interview. Gov. Hill said the
troops were not to- be called upon eX-
cept in case of an emergency. The
emergency had not arisen, therefore
they would not be ordered out. He re-
marked that this was the first great
strike with which he had had exper-
fence. and he did not propose to lose
his head; the only point at which there
had then been serious trouble was at
Syracuse. and there a deputy sheriff
lost his head and prccipitated an en-
counter.
The strike continued several weeks
and there was riotous action at several
points along the road, but the civil au-
thorities were able to cope with it
without calling on the militia.
The test of Il man S real ability comes
when an emergency arises which makes
a hasty call on his good judgment and
discretion. The man who retains his
presence OF mind. maintains his equi-
pois and exercises sound discretion ut
such critical juncturcs, is to be relied
on and will be put to the front.
Men with level heads have the stay
ing qualities which do not falter in the
face of danger. Otis A. Cole of kins-
man, o.. June 10, 1890. writes: I'm

markable curative powers for all kidney
troubles, especially for diabetes. The
enormous quantity of coal and ore that
will be required fol the large number Of
furnaces and other industrial plants in

large demand for these minerals, and
consequently enhance tho value of suoh
property. Two railroads have been sur
