forty different woodsmen about this ap-
parent depth of snow oil the land, and
in each case got a polite and lucid expla-
nation OF the whole matter, so plain and
clear that anybody with a single dIsin-

Seattle is called the Phoenix city. This
is because she was consumed BY fire last
summer and is now almost entirely re
built. The Phoenix was a tabled bird
which could Iehabilitate itself after hay
ing been consumed by fire, and was even
more bright and cheerful afterward than
before. Even the scorched feathers of
the Phoenix, it is said, did not smell DIS
agreeably. Phenixes are not very scarce
and 3 setting OF Phoenix eggs this spring
would bring a fancy piece. The day is
not very distant when, like the buffalo,
lhe Last Phoenix bird will have disap-
peared from our shores. Seattle is q port
of entry, and her land office shows more
entries than any other in the United
States. it is said.

Seattle has no horse cars. The talented,
versatile and ambidexterous bobtail car
driver can never enter there, and the
pleasing aroma of the car stables does
not cling to the good clothes Of the pas
senger when he gets of. Two fine lines
Of electric cars, with four systems OF
cable cars which scoot up the hills and

transit which would put many an older
city to blush.

She Was q Survivor of the QuettA DisAs-
ter and Had No Life PrsserSer.
By Thursday mornings Australian
mail we ave for the first time full par
ticulars of the Quetta disaster and the
narratives of the survivors. We subjoin
the principal points in the graphic state
ment of Miss Lacy, undoubtedly the
most interesting figure in the events Of
that ~calamit0us night in Torres straits.
Miss Lacy says she was sitting in the sa-
loon writing n letter, the other ladies
being practicing for a concert, when,
without a moments warming, they heard
n loud grating sound, the ship rocked
violently, and a chorus of confused noises
broke out on deck.
Miss Lacy rushed on deck, and already
the ship was sinking. Going aft, " she
says, was like walking up hill. The
part to which l was making my way was
high above the water" But hardly had
she reached the aft part of the vessel
than it too rapidly sank, and in a mo-
ment 200 human beings and a large num-
Der Of sheep were all in the water in a
heap, the people struggling and shrek
ing terribly" Miss Lacy with great
difficulty managed to extricate herself
from the confused mass. and being a
practical swimmer succeeded in getting
clear of the whirlpool caused by the sink
ing ship. She then relieved herself Of all
superfluous clothing and swan about for
two hours in the hope Of coming across
some OF the survivors.
At midnight she heard a cry from a
distance. and swimming toward it found
that it came from a raft rudely and has
tily constructed by the chief officer. She
availed herself of this temporary refuge
and remained ON the raft until noon the
next day. when. finding that it was max
ing no progress, and fancying that she
saw an island on the verge of the hori-
zon. Miss Lacy determined to trust once
more to her swimming powers, and in
spite of the strong circumstances of the
chief officer she Owed into the ocean and
struck out for herself. But she had
g~rievously miscalculated the distance Of
the island.
All TINT afternoon and far into the
night she was in the water without life
belt or support of any description, re-
lieving herself by swimming alternately
on her face, back and sides.
She said she felt no fer of the sharks
that abound in these tropical waters, but
the f~carfully hot sul scorched her terri
bly,. and every now and then she had to
thrust her head under water to save her.
self from sunstro.ie. She is under the
impression that for . part of the time she
was asleep in tho water.

hours alone in Torres straits, she was

ATHLETIC ITEMS.

1t Is settled that William O'Connor will
not be able to a part In the great re
gatta, which will be held at Duluth, Ia,
during the latter part OF July. Recent ad-
vices from Australia are that O'Connor has
made preliminary arrangements for sew
eral matches in the A~ntipodes, which may
detain him there for some months. Even
should not the proposed races amount to
anything, he probably cannot return to
America In time to do justice to himself at
the coming great aquatic event.
George w. Jordan, the Handicapped of the
Pacific Coast Athletic association, has been
appointed starter for the championship
games of that body on Memorial day. II.
NJ. johnson, the noted professional sprin-
ter now In San Francisco, has been tutor
Ing Jordan with first rate effect.
William Halpin, OF the New Jersey Ath-
letic club, ex-champion running broad
jumper OF America, scored a signal victory
recently at the spring games Of the London
Athletic club, Of England. He won his
fayorite event there with a leap OF 30 feet o
inches, but the performance was equal to
something over 81 feet on account of a
strong breeze blowing at the time against
the Jumpers. The next best man to him
did not clear within 8 inches OF Halpin's
jump.

One OF the bright pictures of the tu-
ture cherished by the people of Seattle is
that Of a fine navy yard at Lake Wash
inrton. a beautiful sheet of water twenty
six miles long and averaging four miles in
width. 1t also has a good and sufficient
depth for the anchorage OF the Great
Eastern anywhere through its entire
length.
There Is already a Log canal connecting
it with the land through Union lake, and
it would not be a big job to make a ship
canal, as the lake is but a lev feet higher
than Puget sound and the ground easily
worked without blasting. The chief ad-
vantage OF a fresh water harbor for ships
of course is that the tcredo or ship worm,

p~ecially Of Puget sound, would be clint
mated. Large bills for naval vermifuge
would thus be rendered unnecessary and

In bulletin just issued by the di

insect pests of the household, after de-
scribing various species of cockroaches
says: In the latitude of Washington
and further south the croton bug eats
every thing which contains paste, and
consequently wall paper, photographs
| and especially certain kinds of cloth
book bindings suffer severely from theii
attacks. In a recent number of Insect
Life will be found an account of severe
injury done to certain of the important
files in tho Treasury Department in
Washington, the bindings of many i'm.
portant public documents being disfig.
urcd and destroyed. In the Office OF
the United States Coast and Geodetic
Survey they have become an intolerable
nuisance by eating off the surface and
particularly the blue and red paint
from drawings of important maps.
But need not elaborate further upon
the damage which they do How to
kill them and prevent this damage is
the question.
With out condemning other useful
measures or remedies like borax, would
repeat here what have already urged
in these columns, viz, that in the free
and persistent use of California buhach
or some other fresh and reliable brand
of pyrethrum or Persian insect powder
we have the most satisfactory means
of dealing with this and the other
reaches mentioned.

under baseboards, into the drawers
and cracks of old furniture-in fact,
wherever there is crack-and in the

dead and dying or demoralized and
paralyzed reaches, which may easily be
swept up or otherwise collected and
burned. With cleanliness and persist
ence in these methods the nest may be

should never be allowed to get full pos
session by immigrants from without.
For no other insect have so many
quack remedies been urged and are so
many newspaper remedies published.
Many of them have their good points,
but the majority are worthless. In fact,
rather than put faith in half of those
which have been published it were bet
ter to rely on the recipe which T. A.

Profit In tho Garden.

Many of our readers are not SO situ'
ated that they can make the garden
pay in q commercial sense. But many
are so situated. There are many farms
close enough to cities and towns to make
market gardening pay better than any
branch of industry on the farm. The
garden, flower or vegetable, is money
making institution. A few nights ago
we dropped into floral establishment
which is very profitable concern. The
old gentleman who owns it was in talk
ative mood, and in the course of CONVEX
sation he said that he used to be good
horse-shoer, though we confess that
some of his ideas about the horses foot
lead us to doubt the assertion. But one
summers day he was riding along the
streets, noticing the bloom and frag-
rance of the flowers, and concluded that
there was an easier way for him to gain
a livelihood than by shoeing horses
He closed up his business and became
florist and has made money. Since
Chicago has annexed so much OF the
territory that adioins the original city
there are number of market gardens
within the city limits, and so far as we
know the men who own them have be-
come rich in the business. Western

Selecting "a Stallion.

First, look at his legs. If they are
not up to the standard don't look any
further at that horse, for horse with
out legs is no horse. The legs should
be large, fiat, bony, free from flesh and

the pasterns nor yet set too far back--a
fault with some draft horses. A good
fiat foot, with the ability to lift it up
and place it straight forward the proper
distance, is desideratum.
Next, look at the back. 1t should be
short, straight and closely coupled.
Next, the head. Requisites-broad be-
