HIS SENATORIAL FENCES.

HIS SENATORIAL FENCES.
Representative Wilson of the state of
Washington, tells me that Senator Squire
has remained at home to attend to his Sen
atorial fences, and that the race is between
him and eX-Congressman Calkins, who cut
such prominent figure some years ago as
one of the mem bers from Indiana. Calkins
lives at Tacoma and Squire is one of the
big men of Seattle. Both are strong men
and both are much alike in physical re
spects. Both are tall, big boned and
strong -lmbed and the complexion of each
IS as rosy as that OF sixteen year-old Irish
maiden. Both men are pugnacious, and it
only needs a good opponent to make Cal
kins great politician 1t was his nat
ural pugnacity that brought him into pub
lie life. Sixteen years ago be was making
about twenty thousand dollars year Us an
Indiana lawyer. Two corporations each
gave him q salary of $1,000 to act as their
counsel, and his practice outside of this
amounted TO ABOUT s., COG. He was satisfied
with the law and he did not want to go into
politics. But one day he picked up a county
paper in which he was doomed for the nom
ination on the ground that he was the only
man who could carry the district The
compliment ticlkled him and he wrote to
the editor and thanked him but said he
could not think of being q candidate. He
had sealed the envelope and was patting
himself on the back for being a great man
as he glanced over another paper. The
editor of this stated that "Calkins was
very good young man and with little pa
tience and considerable study he might
sometime be fit for congressional candi-
date. At present, however, he was entirely
too fresh in his efforts to get the nomina-
ton aud thai lie could not be elected if he
was nominated; This notices. said Gov

Concerning Poetry.

A girl said to me few days ago Of
friend of hers: II never in my life
knew anybody who had such flow of
language rs she has. She is never at a
loss for word of comparison or an
appropriate quotation. How in the
world does she do ftp" Well. l asked
her, says a writer in tho Ladies Home
Journal, and this is what the good talk
er said:
when Twas very little girl my
great delight was to read and study
poetry. i learned poems by heart to
recite at school, to say to my mother
and to delight my brothers with. l
have always kept up that habit. and
every day. as | am dressing. have an
open book on my bureau and learn
something by heart even if it is only
verse of four lines. | have never
given drawing-room recitations. for
know should simply bore people.
but | have gotten great deal of pleas
ure myself from the habit, and | be.
lieve it has done more to give me
good command OF words than anything
else"
Ifyou take bit of advice from me
yen will choose to begin on the shorter
poems of Austin Dobson, of Owen
Meredith, or dear old Tom Hood or
Adelaide Proctor, and, later on. of
Elizabeth Barrett Browning and Ros-
setti. You know the last was the poet
who so dearly loved his wife that he
buried with her the poems which he
had written beside her, and which had
never been published. Many years
after his friends insisted that these
poems should be disintcrred. and it
was found when the coffin was opened
that her wonderful blonde hair had
grown to her feet and formed a ne.-
work that glistened like gold thread
in the sun over the bundle of papers.

any other YOU like, but do not try to
do too much Mt once. The little by
little is the very best theory in life II

The monks and cures of France have
done as much for their country in the
preparation of savory delicacies as the
most renowned chefs. One of the
largest oyster parks in the country was
started by Able Bonnetard, the cure OF
La Teste, whose system of artificial
cultivation is so successful that of the
number OF oysters distributed through
out France every year perhaps
quarter are produced by the Able.
Canon Agen was the discoverer of the
tcrrines of Nerac. The riiiettes of
Tours are the work of monk of
Marmoutiers The renowned liqueurs
Chartreuse, Trappistinc. Benedictinc.
and others betray their monastic origin
in their names, and the strangest part
of their production is that they should
be the work OF the most severe and
ascetic of religious bodies. The elixir
of Garus is the invention of the Able
Garus. The Beziers sausages were
first prepared under the direction of
the Prior Lamoureux. The popular
Bergougnoux sauce was first mingled
by the Able Bergougnoux. The dell
icate Floguard cakes are the invention
of the able of that name. Even the
immortal glory of the discovery OF
champagne is attributed to a monk.
To these may be added the delicacies
in bonbons, confectionery and the like.
which owe their origin entirely to
nuns in the French converts.

Flowing i'm Peru.

The land is plowed in the following
manner: From six to dozen teams
of oxen are put ut WORK in single
field of twenty or thirty acres. The
oxen are "yoked" by tying n heavy
beam across their foreheads. To this
beam the pillow is attached, AL the force
being applied by the head instead of
the shoulders. The pillow is crooked
stick or branch of II tree, the point
faced with iron. The Hebrews. when
they titled the soil in the time of Moses.
had pillow made in the same way. In
teligent Pcruvans contend that they
do not need to plow more than two
or three inches dcep-simply enough
TO loosen the soil SO rs to enable the
seed to take root. The water used in
irrigating is said to be rich in plant
food. further obviating the necessity of
deep blowing. 1t may also be added
that improved plows, suitable for this
country. are now manufactured in
Europe and the United States. but it
goes without saying that they are very
different from the pillow used by an
American farmer. They are light and
small, having close resemblance to
the original crooked stick. Another
popularity of every Peruvian plow is
that it has only one handle. Tho

goad. twelve or fifteen feet in length.

he manages the plow with the other

the bottom and on the lower slopes
of the surrounding hills, are little
mounds of white petriied chips
marking the spots where the tops
of the stumps reach the surface. Only
one of the ssumps has as yet been en-
tirely uncovered and TO this most OF
the visitors go first. 1t Is on the edge
of a small grove of pine on the west
side Of the valley. Over it is rough
scafTolding from which are suspended
several saws. still deeply imbedded In
the stump. Several years ago when
the Midland was first opened some
one conceived the idea of transplant
ing the stump to Manitou. but it was
found that it could not pass through
the tunnels on the road. He then
commenced TO saw it into vertical
slabs, which he thought could be put
together afterward. The saws sunk
easily in the top of the stump for about
two feet, when they encountered hard
silica, to which the outside air had not
vet penetratated, and there they stuck.
The stump Is about forty-iive feet in
circumference and twelve feet high. Its
shape is perfect; the buttressed roots,

bark are all there as distinct as those
on any of the pine trees close at hand.
The wood varies greatly. While all
of it shows distinctly the grain and Pc
cuiarities of pine wood there arc
some pieces which are as hard as flint
and white as marble. while others are
soft and almost like natural wood. BY
pulling off pieces of the petrilied wood
here and there are found little tibers
which the silica did not for some rea-
son reach, but these crumble to dust
when touched. The tree has been
identified as belonging TO the same
family as the giant trees of California.
Across the valley from the large
stump is another one almost as pecu-
liar. 1t is large blush black stone
which is made of thousands of pieces
petrifed charcoal. conglomerated in a
solid mass. None of the pieces are
over an inch in length. and how they
became thus knit together is likely to
remain geological mystery.

To be Popular in Society.

To converse well it is necessary that
you should have the art of discover
ing what will interest the person with
whom you are talking and that you
will know how to drop the subject
when it becomes tiresome, and never
to let special fad of your own be the
one subject that lou bring up. Learn
TO be all things to all people. TO
avoid personalities or very decided
opinions on any subject. You don't
want to give TRADE against dishones-
ty to man whose father died in States
prison for forging notes. You don't
want to object To the divorce laws
when the man you are talking to may
have married divorced woman. You
don't want TO talk about blcached hair
to II woman whose hair is pronounced
~ yellow. nor to discuss how injurious
is rouge and powder TO the woman who
is made up in u most decided manner.
In your heart You may object To all
these things but you are not giving
expression just now TO what you think;
YOU are simply making Yourself pleas
ant To some one whom you have met
to-day and may never meet again.
Talk about Egyptian mummics or
French politics; how orchids grow, the
last new play or the last new song; but
use good English, speak Us if you were
Interested. and then you will gain
what YOU waut--a reputation OF being
4 charming woman socially. -Ladies'
