Mountjoy was well enough acquainted
with the natures of women to pass over
that passionate outbreak, instead OF fam

PrOHered Assistance.

Years ago Jeremiah Hacker was q
successful school teacher. Though a
quaker and strongly opposed to fight
ing, he had no religious or conscien-
tious scruples against thrashing dis
orderly pupils severely. An Irishman,
half intoxicated, was one day digging .
well near Hackers school. Hearing .
fearful bowling he made for the school
house, pickax in hand, and knocked
loudly at the door. When asked his
errand he replied: II name no harrum,
Misther Schoolmaster. I thought ye
were tryhyin' to kill the lad, an l come
over to see if ye were wantin' help"
The proffered assistance was declined
with thanks.-Lewiston Journal.

AN ENORMOUS STUMP.

Undoubtedly the largest stump in
the State of Washington is the one To-
Gated just below Snohomish City, on
the farm of w. s. Clay. It is q huge
cedar, and its diameter is 20 feet-a
surface sufficient for hundred men to
stand upon. The tree was burned
down some sixteen years ago says the
Seattle Press, and its wood was used
for fence-rails. shingles. etc. There
was enough material In the tree to fur
nish rails for the fencing of . large
Texas farm.
The wood is red cedar and is similar
to the timber from which lead pencils
are made, and would also be cherished
by any builder for the special wood
finish and decoration of a house. The
farm upon which the stump is was
taken up as homestead by Royal Has
kell in the year 1873. Mr.. Haskell con-
tinued to improve the farm for q period
Of ten years. It Was by his hands and
his sons that the gia 1t tree was pros
trated by the agency Of the flames; and
its bulk-to other trees a. tho elephant
to the horse-formed An article of
plentiful distribution and utility.
A log ten feet in diameter is the larg-
est that can be sawed by any mill now
on Puget Sound. and even then there
has to be two saws, one above the
other. each with an immense sweep.
Allowing two feet in every twenty for
the tapering of the tree, there would
need to be i've twenty-foot logs cut Of
. tree, the diameter of which Is twenty
feet at the bottom, before it could be
sawed BY any Of our mills. The red
woods Of California have to be quarter
ed by blasting before they can enter
the mills. The same plan has to be
followed in Washington. where the
tree Is Of exceptional size.
Two years ago the stump was photo
graphed, when five horses, standing
abreast. three free apart, and thirty
men were upon it. Such . photo IS
now in possession Of the writer and
others in Snohomish. A circle, whose
diameter Is 20 feet, must be eS feet in
circumstances. and contain an area of
Sl4 square feet. The tree belonging
to the big stump was 30 feet in height
and its volume was, therefore, 6.874
cubic feet: This was . giantl Poetry
has lauded the majestic oak, but il
size is often eclipsed by Washington's
cedars.
The people of this State are av.r. of
the high estimation Of our shingles in
Eastern markets. They are msnufac-
tured entirely from the cedar tree,
which il usually larger than the ordi-
nary hr. Il IL No exaggsration to say

The Arid Lands.

In answer to inquiries regarding
the application Of the law withdrawing
from entry lands which may be benefited
by the governments irrigation schemes
the Attorney General says:
"lhe object OF the act is manifest 1t
was TO prevent entry apon, settlement and
sale Of all that part and region of the
pae.ic lands Of the United States which
could be improved by general system of
irrigation, and al lsujs which might
thereafter be designated or selected by
United States surveys us sites for reser-
voirs, d.tctcs, or canals in such system
1T was tho purpose OF Congress by this net
to suspend all rights of entry upon any
lands which would come within the i'm
proving operation OF tho plans OF irriga-
uon to be reported by the director OF tho
geological survey under this act The
language could hardly be stron ger than
are the words of the act In expressing thi .
Intention. Entries should not DO per-
nittcd, therefore, upon any part of tho
arid regions which might possii,ly come
within tho operation OF this act."
The general effect of this opiuion, II the
law is modified, will DO to reserve from
settlement and entry practically the whole
of the great arid region.

PARIS. June 3.--The special Pana-
ma cana! commission has prepared fresh
report on the prospective earnings OF the
canal in case 1t is completed. In this the
annual cost of maintenance is placed at B.
soo,cco francs. The expenses Of admins
tration arc placed at l,>oG, 900 francs an
nually, and the cost of transit is estimated
at 10000, 900 francs annually. The income
for the first four years is estimated at 5l,-
$1,000 francs. This Is calculated on an
average annual tonnage for that period OF
4.ieo,0oo tons aud the proposed rate Of
charge per ton is l2JJs francs. The COM
mission estimates that after the first four
years there would be an annual increase
in the tonnage OF 2JO,0Oo tons until a max
imum tonnage OF 6.ooo.ooo tons should be
reached. After the canal has been in
operation twelve years the annual receipts
all expenses being deducted, arc estimated
at O., 100000 francs. This amount would
be distributed between tho present and
future shareholders in accordance with the
terms OF n contract to be concluded be-
tween the old company and the new.

last night, and great damage was inflicted
on the towLs of Underwood, Neola, Persia
and Western. In Potiawattomie County
this morning about ten O'Clock, Mosquito
Creek, that flows through those towns,
oyertlowed its banks aud all the country
in The vicinity was Hooded. The sudden
swelling OF the creek is thought to have
been caused by cloud burst near Neola
this morning, but owing 10 ;t.a rail and
telegraph communication being cut OFF,
the exact facts cannot be ascertaiued.
At Underwood, about thirty residences
in the lowlands were wrecked by water,
and many families are rendered homeless.
Five miles of the milwaukee, track were
washed away, and that part of the town
traversed by the Milwaukee and Rock
Island is submerged under fifteen feet of
water No lives were lost but there
were some very narrow escapes by resi-
dents of the flooded districts.
At Western, the same creek ovcrfowed
its banks and the city was flooded to the
depth of five feet This occurred about
ten a. IN, and so sudden was 1t that people
are frm in the belief that cloud, burst
occurred near that point Sixteen houses
were wrecked and fifty were more or less
damaged. There was no loss of life.
At Persia, the overflow was equally So

not wade it. A boat twenty-five feet wide
