An apparently respectable woman
was brought recently before q police
magistrate, at Paris, on charge Of
stealing about 1000 articles from that
great drapery emporium on the left
bank of the Seine called tho BON
Msrche. Such acts of larceny arc com-
mon enough in Paris, but in the par
ticular case of this delinquent there
were some details which were not alto
gether devoid of novelty. Thus, before
proceeding on pilfering expedition
through the well-stocked departments
of the big bazaar, the woman used to
note carefully down in her memorandum
book the objects on which she had cast
her eyes and which she intended to an
mex.
On the day of her arrest the detec-
tives discovered her notebo and found
marked in it such items as the follow
ing: One pair of stays for self, twelve
francs, size sixty centimeters; two pairs
of the best braces for my old man, six
pairs of the warmest socks for Louis,
several yards of wool for Lucy's skirt,
and SO on. Each and every one of tho
objects thus jotted down, together with
numerous others, were extracted from
the leathern bag which she carried.
Her rooms were next searched. and
another notebook was found, and on
the leaves of which were inscribed: A
pretty paper-weight for my sons En-
glish teacher, dozen poclct-handkcr-
chiefs for fathers servant girl and 4

manner, and has to undergo but a fort

A Heated Well.

A strange phenomenon is reported
from the Indian nation. Some time ago
q white man named Charles Gooding,
living near Goodland, station on the
Frisco road in the Choctaw nation, en-
ployed an Irish well-digger, Mike Du-
haney, to sink a we'll on his place. Du-
haney began work and had reached a
depth of sixty feet. At noon, Saturday,
after eating dinner, his assistants began
lowering him back into the well to re-
sumo work, but he had hardly gone
twenty feet when he screamed to them
to pull him out quick, that he was burn
ing up. AS hurriedly as possible he
was hoisted out, but on reaching the
surface was unconscious and it required
two hours hard work to restore him.
He was found in a pitiable condition,
his clothing being scorched until it
crumbled at the touch, and his body
was fearfully blistered. The intense
heat seemed to raise from the bottom,
and coat lying on the windlass, and the
rope wound around it, were all charred
until they broke into fragments at a
touch. No flame could be seen. Sim
ply an intense heat could be felt.-Na-

SUGAR BEETS IN OREGON.

A correspondent has the follow
ing to say about raising sugar
beets in Oregon: Much is being
said of late concerning the sugar
beet culture in the United States.
and attention is turned toward the
Pacific states as the most promis
ing field for the best development
Of this great industry, which in the
past has been monopolized by for
eign countries.
Up to the present time this
country has lacked a great deal OF
producing a sufficient amount of
sugar for her own consumption,
and each year has had to pay for
eign countries millions Of dollars
for sugar that could be as we'll pro-
duced at home. In 1889 we paid
Germany alone $16,0Oo,000 for
sugar. This amount saved to the
government, and indirectly to the
farmer, to say nothing of the ex-
cess of profit over that resulting
from growing cereals which would
be quite large, is no small item.
The raising of sugar -beets in
California is now no experiment,
and the factories are running on a
paying basis and yielding good

WHILE legislation does little for
its reform, nevertheless there is a
steady decrease Of the drink habit.
The New York Evening Post tes-
titles that "men are growing more
temperate, not because the law
says that they shall not have any
chance to get drunk, but because
public sentiment impresses upon
them the conviction that they can
not afford to get drunk. 1t is by
strengthening this sentiment that
the work of temperance reform is
to be chiefly prosecuted. Tell a
man the law says he shall not get
drunk, and he is quite likely to
do it out of spite; convince him
that 'it don't pay to get drunk,
and no law will be needed"

Of a better fire service was demon
strated by the fire which occurred
last Monday night. Had the fire
been in the business portion Of the
city it would have got under such
headway as to be beyond the con-

hose and apparatus they have to
work with would have been of lit
tie or no service. There is no tell
ing what damage would be the re-
suit of such a fire.

SPECULATIVE DlilOsODhers a.

SPECULATIVE philosophers and
sociologists in Massachusetts, are
disturbed by the fact that while
the population of the state has
only trebled in fifty years the num-
ber of criminals has increased
fifty-fold. Many theories are ad-
vanced to account for this, of the
most curious of which is that the
"reformatory" system now prac-
ticed in Massachu sets prisons has
made those places so little feared
by the criminal classes that they
no longer deter any one from the
commission of crime.

the books were free, of course
these changes would work no hard

The tenement house census of
New York city shows population
Of that class amounting to $1,000,
600. The government census
made the population of the entire
city about 100000. If both are
right then there are only about
100000 persons in the city OF
New York living in houses other
than tenements. Rather than ac-
Dept this as the truth the people
of New York would rather accuse
the government census of lying.

returns to the farmers raising
beets, as will be seen by glance
at the figures given below. A
careful comparison Of the climatic
conditions of Oregon with that of
the greatest sugar producing cen
ters Of Germany, reveals the fact
that we have fully as favorable
conditions as exists in California.
AS to the soil, the beet does not
require particular kind of soil.
although Of course it thrives bet
ter in some than in others, yet
fair crop can be grown upon al
most any soil, the beet being
sandy loam-one that does not so
rapidly pack under the heat Of the
sun as those Of an essentially clay
ey nature.
Data enough have already been
collected by parties interested in
the matter to satisfy them that
Oregon can produce as good beets
as can be grown in this country.
Beets raised in the state last year
showed as high as II per cent.
saccharine matter, and showed an
average Of as high a per cent. of
sugar contents as in Germany.
This, together with the fact that
much fertillzing is required in Ger
many, whereas this can be dis
pensed with in this state for a
long time to come, and the fact
that the yield per acre is greater
should indeed be an item that
should be considered by the far
mers.
In Oregon no estimates have
been made public as to the prob
able cost OF raising sugar beets, al
though experiments are now beng
carried on throughout the state
under the direction of Prof. G. w.
Shaw, chemist at experiment sta
talon at Corvallis, whose report
will convey all data procurable.
For present purposes, however,
the statement made by Mr.. w. G.
Rightmier, of California, a farmer
who is raising them, can be taken
as a fair example by Oregon far
