u PERSONALITIES is to make known the fact
L that there has been no marriage between
Mrs. A. E. Bonner and myself. The incident of
ington Critic, originated while waiting for a
train in the foolish desire to perpetrate a hoax
and not with the intention of entering into the
bonds of matrmony. The relationship that
existed between Mrs. Bonner's parents and my
in name and law, and being their only child,
together with the peculiar circumstances attend
ing the case, have eDdeavored to act towards
her as if she had been my sister, both before and
since the death of her parents.

Postage StamYs-How Prepared.

AS soon as they emerge from the
hydraulic press, postage stamps are
gummed. The paste is made from
clear starch, or rather its dextrine,
which is acted upon chemically and
then boiled, forming clear, smooth,
slightly sweet mixture. Each sheet of
stamps is taken separately, placed
upon flat board, and its edges COW
cred with light metal frame. Then
the paste is smeared on with 4 large
whitewash brush, and the sheet is laid
between two wire racks and placed on
a pile with Others to dry. Great care
is taken in the manufacture Of this
paste, which is perfectly harmless.
This gratifying fact has been conclu-
sively proved by an analysis recently
made by an eminent chemist. Alter
the cumming, another pressing in the
hydraulic press follows. Then anoth-
er counting-in fact, stamps are
counted not less than thirteen times
during the process OF manufacture
The sheets are then cut in half, each
portion containing one hundred
stamps, this being done by girls with
ordinary hand shears. Next follows
the perforation, which is performed by
machinery The perforations are first
made in perpendicular line, and
afterwards in horizontal line. An

Mr.. r. Hoskinson, Port Blakely,
writes to the Washington Farmer that
his experience during ten years with
Leghorn chickens convinces him that
they are the most profitable breed for
the farmer. He says: From Janu-
ary, 1889, to January, 1890, my $50
hens drown Leghorns) laid 1,774 doz-
en- eggs, being an average OF little
over Ill eggs each. My $50 hens pro-
duced for eggs and chickens sold dur
ing above date, $500. Cost of feed,
which had to buy, 1876, leaving a
net profit of $292. This, of course, is
not fortune, but fills quite a nice
opening in the years expenses, being
nearly $1.90 per hen.

PoRT Townsend will shortly be sup
piled with clear mountain water from
tina Little Quilcene river. A company
has been incorporated with a capital
stock of $500, 900, which proposes to
push the work rapidly until Port
Townsend will have daily supply of
100000 gallons of water. The Quill
Gene river will be tapped eight miles
above the outlet, on Hoods canal,
where the average daily i.ow is over {, ;
100000 gallons. The sA:'ply is mex
haustible, and the water will be carried
to Port Townsend for twenty miles
through an lS-inch pipe, of cast iron
or steel, to large reservoir, located
ON Morgan's hill, overlooking the city
capable of containing 100000 gal.

900 inhabitants for five days, allowing
sixty gallons to each person. The
pressure will be sufficient for all prac.
teal purposes.

other pressing follows-this time TO
get rid OF the raised edges on the back
OF the stamps made by the dies, and
this ends the manufacture. A sepa-
rate apartment is devoted to the pack
ing and sending off the stamps to diff
ferent pOst-Oflices. 1t will be seen by
this account that any absurd rumor
concerning the poisonous or unclean
properties of postage stamps is utterly
without foundation.-U. S. Null.

crease in the truthfulness OF it. Peo-
pie are learning that it doesn't pay to
lie in an advertisement any better
than it does anywhere else. The
theory that ga suckers born every

THE ice in the Skagit river is now
broken up and the river is nearly clear.
The water is so low that navigation
ceases at Mount Vernon. The cold
snap and lack of rain in that county
have made water scarcity, and con-
sequently the Skagit runs low. Some
fear is entertained of a freshet ii there
should be warm rains or soft weather,
for the hills are covered with snow

Sad Accident.

Last Tuesday afternoon between two and
three o'clock, Steve Mitchell, an employee in
Burners hoop factory met with sad and
painful accident, which will lay him mp for a
while, and cripple him for life. While work
ing around some machinery he took hold of a
rope to pull log into position, and in some
manner the rope became entangled and
catching his right hand, tore the index
and middle finger of at the second joints
and breaking his arm in two places be-
tween the wrist and elbow. He was taken
to DR.. Harrison, who dressed the mangled
hand and set the fractured bones, after
which he was taken to his home where he
now lies. resting as easily as possible. From
those who witnessed the accident it was
learned that had he went little further, he
would undoubtedly have been crushed be-
meath the log.
