A Hunters Paradise,

In this unknown land, bear, elk and
the noble black tailed deer exist in al
most boundless numbers, and in all but
perfect fearlessness of man, and here,
from the great difficulty of access to
their domain, the enterprising sports
man may find them ages hence. Until
the summer just passed, no hunters,
prospector's or explorers rifle had
ever awakened the echoes of their
hills. This hunters paradise is the
peninsula lying west of Puget sound,
and embraces all the territory west
from the sound to the Pacific ocean,
aud the Straits of San Juan de Fuca
south to the northern line of Chehalish
county, comprising the entire counties
CT Clallam and Jefferson, and is locally
known as the "Olympic Range Coun-
try" A glance at a map will best in
form the reader of the extent of this
territory, where, until last summer.
the noblest game on the continent has
lived in undisturbed peace.

THE ENCHANTED WOOD.

As from the outward world you pass
just where the forest skirts the plain
An open book lies on the grass.
And there for years untouched has lar
The leaves are yellow now wltha age,
But one may read in letters free,
As the wind turns the ragged page,
The blotted name-Philosophy
TITS said a student one day stood
Outside the bounds where on him fell
The mystic power OF that wood,
And Love cast over him spell.
Then long he strove to enter there;
But guardian spirits in array
Prevented him, until despair
And made him throw tho book away.
Had then, when he at length had cast
The stern PHILOSOPHY aside.
Love babe him enter, held him fast
AS conqueror OF Self and Pride.
And now in dim, enchanted hooks,
Ruled by q Love that never fails,
He seeks no sympathy of books
Love whispers to him fairy tales.
Outside, swept by the wind and rain,
Philosophy, uncared for, lies;
1t cannot enter Loves domain;
1t was not meant for Para disc.

ABOUT OYSTER SHELLS

riOus Ways for Profit,

The Incredible Number Every Year Used IL Va.
rious Ways for Profit
1t has been estimated that %, 900, 900
bushels OF oysters are opened annually
in the United States, and that this rep-
resents an accumulation of shells
amounting to not less than 243, 800, 900
cubic feet, which if spread out would
cover space of more than 100000
yards square to depth of three feet.
No doubt the majority of persons
who have assisted in eating the oysters
contained in this enormous amount of
shells seldom give a thought as to
What becomes of these rough, uncouth
coverings. A few, perhaps, if ques-
toned on the subject, would be likely
to reply that the only way in which
they had them utilized was in filling
up and making roads, entertainments
and wharves. Nevertheless, this is
but one of their many uses, as they are
extensively employed in making
stools for new oyster beds, by
spreading them on the bottom of the
bays and other bodies of water in
which oysters are propagated, thus
forming bed upon which the spawn
settles and grows into maturity. Thew
are also converted into lime, serve as
ballast for vessels and made into fer
tlllzers. In addition to this they plav
an important part in the poultry yard,
where In a powdered form, they are
much sought after by those engaged
IN raising fowls of every kind.
The early colonists used nothing but
oyster-shell lime, and in many parts
of New England there still exist mills
and kilns devoted entirely to the in
dustry of converting the shells into
that material. They have been used
in making a hydraulic cement, when
mixed with clay and magnesia, and
gave perfect satisfaction, not only in
laying drains, coating cisterns and the
like, but also in making garden vases
fountains and other ornamental objec ts
exposed to the elements.

Centipede Poison

X strange story comes from Baxter
county, in Western Arkansas. A family
of five persons left their home in the
neighborhood of Baldwin, Tenn, trying
to reach Texas in team of their own,
and one night camped by way side
spring, where they were found dead or
dying the next morning. All remedies
failed, and the death of the entire family
was at first ascribed to the contaminated
condition the spring, which shortly
before had formed tho centre of q Gynsy
camp but the coroncrs inquest re-
vealed the fact that the Inflated tray
lers had cooked their coffee in can that
contained the remains of large cent?
pede. The plan of pursuing and lynching
the Gypsies was then at once abandoned,
but il could have done no harm to
analyze, or ut least to clear, the sus-
pected spring. The centipedc hypothesis,
at all events, is based on the popular
error which confounds the effects of min
eral aud vegetable poisons with those of
an animal virus. Serpent virus kills
only by its direct injection into the
circulation of the human body, and an
ounce of the virulent substance might be
swallowed with impunity, unless the ex-
perimenter should happen to be afflicted
with gastric tumors. Many birds and
animals, in fact, devour all sorts of ven
omous reptiles the Merops piIster, or
Turkish starting, kills and eats scores
of wasps. and in dry seasons when the
heritage of the parched hillsides withers
to the roots, the Abyssinian balloons
subsst largely on scorpions. The En-
glish naturalist Burkland swallowed with
IMMUNITY the virus Of three different
kinds of serpents. The bite of venomous
insects has undoubtedly, though very
rarely, led to fatal results, but quart OF
boiled centipedes would not furnish
poison enough to kill a child New

But these materials must be richly and
elegantly trimmed and made up with
that exquisite sense OF becomingness
which bespeak the woman of taste.
For a morning seaside costume nothing
could be more stylish than blue cloth

A lawn-tennis suit is absolutely neces-
sary for a young girls summer outfit

Choose a light colored zephyr, plain for
the blouse and with flower figures for
the skirt, which you make without
lining, gathering IL at the waist but
taking care to bunch mot o. the pleats

of a black foulard skirt figured with

were slashed with 1t from the shoulder

her own, a very pardonable vanity, too,
when she is thus enabled TO make the
most of the one point Of beauty In her

True. she is somewhat OF an anachron-

WHEN the earth was young, says the
astronomer royal for Ireland, it went
round so fast that the day was only
three hours long. The earth was
liquid then, and as it spun around and
around at that fearful speed, and as
the sun caused ever increasing tides
upon its surface, it at last burst in two.
The smaller part became the moon.
which has been going around the earth
ever since at an increasing distance.
The influence OF the moon now raises
tides on the earth. and while there was
