Plan to Combine.

The local laundrymeu held another meeting
at the Central Hotel last evening to further
consider the proposition to unite their property

accomplished but as all the laundrymen here
except one are willing TO combine, 1t will be
done some time in the future, unless they
should disagree on details.
They are moving slowly and trying to avoid
trouble and blunders in the foundation of the
organization. Meetings are held weekly.

They Worshin the Drum.

Among the Samoiedes and the tribes
of northern Asiatic Russia the drum
passes almost to an idol. They address
it, erect it in their hut, and the priests
of the superstition by the aid of the di-
vine instrument effect that magical
disappearance which has puzzled all
travellers from Sir Hugh Willoughby
downward to account for, and has given
rise to as much guesswork at it's eluci-
dation as the feats of the Indian Jug
glers. The Samoiede, after beating his
drum and working up the senses of his
spectators to pitch of great excite
ment, mysteriously vanishes into thin
air before the eyes of all Civilized
travellers naturally hold that it is a
trick. The Samoiedes themselves de-
clare that the power resides in the drum
idol. The peculiar thing is that neither
one party nor the other has been able to
explain how the vanishing occurs

Man Is Monument Building Creature.

Mr.. James Ricalton, writing of the
wonderful old ruins of monuments and
shrines at Anuradhapura, the City of
the Sacred Bo-Tree in Ceylon, says:
''From the days of the mound builders
down to the Eiffel tower man has shown
himself to be a monument erecting be-
ing; the Christians have. their cathe-
drals, the Mohammedans have their
mosques and the Buddhists have their
shrine tombs, designated differently in
different countries as pagoda. tope and
dagoba
1.-The pagodas Of China arc entirely
dissimilar to those of Burmah, and the
dagobas of Ceylon are quite unlike those
in either country; yet all serve the one
purpose of reliFssepulture. They are not
altogether thing of the past; they are
still erected near the temples, but those
of modern construction are small and
unimportant when compared with those
that have'withstood biennial monsoons
for 1000 years; even their half buried
ruins are stupendous."

A Durout Home in the Southwest.

Into the face of one of the low verti-
cal earth walls of the broken land the
homemaker cuts a hole as Yankee
farmer digs cellar for hillside barn.
Though rarely larger than 10 by IA feet
on the bottom, these cellarlike holes are
sometimes 10 by 1S, with the depth of
the hole as much as or feet, and some
times IS by 10 large, with the long way
of the hole lying along the front of the
natural earth wall.
The digging completed, trees are cut
to furnish logs for building Up the front
of the home, and for use as rafters,
placed foot or so apart over the top
The limbs of the trees, with some long
grass from Il moist place, if any can be,
found, are used to make a rude thatch
over the rafters, and then the sods, cut
out and carefully saved when the hole
was dug, are placed en- top of the
thatch, while the earth from the hole is
heaped on top of all into grave shaped
mound. A blanket is hung in the door
way, or the cotton from the wagon
hoops will serve, and there is the dug
ont home as cozy as the home of a
prairie dog or a woodchuck. John R.

When Woods Decay.

Tests have been made to determine the
variations in the length of time that is
required to produce decay in different
kinds of woods when buried under the
surface of the ground. The birch and
aspen were both found to decay in three
years, the willow and the buckeye in
four years, the maple and the red beech
in five years, elm and ash in seven, while
the larch, juniper and arbor vitae were
uninjured at the expiration of eight
years.-St. Louis Republic.

HAMMOND'S HARD LUCK.
THE LONDON soDoMITE SENT UP
FOR TWO YEARS.
Concocted By an Agent Of the Patrons
of His Clsveland-street House.

SEATTLE, Wash., Dec. 31.-Charles R.
Hammond, OF Cleveland street, London,
notoriety, was sentenced in the superior
court today to two years in Walla Walla
penitentiary for grand larceny. Ham
mond went to New York when forced to
flee from England after the Pail Mall
Gazette exposed the ilnmoralities prac-
ticed by English noblemen at his Cleve-
land-street house. He came to Seattle
two years ago and opened the Hay
market saloon. Alexander TOdhun-
ter came here last spring, courted
Hammond society and became intimate
with him; then, it is said, tried to per-
suade Hammond to accompany him to
Victoria. Hammond refused to go on
British soil, fearing arrest. Todhunter
kept bar at the Haymarket saloon, and
it is claimed worked up case against
Hammond, charging him with stealing
seal skin sacque and gold watch from
q woman who was drinking wine with
him at the Haymarket in September.
Hammond was tried and convicted
about two weeks ago. 1t is claimed that
Todhunter is an English detective trying
to get Hammond into the penitentiary
at the instance of the wealthy English
men who patronized Hammond's Cleve-
land-street house, and who are tired of
paying hush money. Hammond says he
is the victim of conspiracy and that
Todhunter has been paid to get him out
OF the way. The case has been ap-
'pealed to the supreme court.

HO FOR DEATH VALLEY.
A PARTY OF EXPLORERS ABOUT
TO PENETRATE 1T.
ture to Be for the First Time Soientif-
ically Explored-A Difficult Task.

KELLER, Cal. Dec. 31.--P Professors Ver-
non Bailey and A. w. Nelson, natural
lists of the agricultural department, and
Prof. j. M. Dikeman, topographer Of
the United States geological survey,
forming one of the parties Of an expedi-
ton organized by the department of ag-
riculture to explore Death valley, left
here this morning for Lone Willow
springs, at the southern end of Pana-
miret valley. where they will meet Prof.
T. U. Palmer, in direct charge
of the expedition, with his par
ty. among whom are DR.. A.
X. Fisher, assistant orthonologist, and
Professor v. v. Colville, assistant botan-
list of the agricultural department !;
Professor Stevens, OF San Bernardino,
and others. The party will enter Death
valley about January 10Th, via the Cole
man borax works road, there to remain
until the latter part of March, at which
time the heat will render further work
very difficult.
Messrs. Bailey, Nelson and Dikeman
have been engaged in working up the
fauna and topography of Inyo valley
during the past month, and much can
be expected from their investigation in
Death valley. Many species Of man.
mails were secured in OWENS valley,
which tho Oldest residents knew nothing
of. Professor Dikeman has prepared a
complete Typographical map OF the
country. This expedition will endeavor
to secure every species OF mammals,
reptiles, birds and plants that are to be
found, while Mr.. Dikeman will make a
complete typographical survey and
secure distances from place to place in
this desert waste. That they have a
difficult task to perform is manifest,
when the treacherous nature Of the soil,
the scarcity and impurity Of the water
and the extreme heat are considered.
The winter months were chosen as the
best time for the work, which could not
be carried on SO extensively during the
summer months, when the temperature
reaches 145 degrees or higher in the sun,
and water ia scarcer than now.

The Supply Of Wool in the Country IL
Not Excessive.
BosToN, Dec. 3l.-The American Wool
Reporter in its annual review Of the wool
trade OF the United States, will cay to-
morrow: The amount Of wool on hand
in most Of the primary markets Of the
United States is not excessive; the sup
ply in Boston is considerably lighter
than o year ago. A recapitulation Of the
stocks in the principal markets to which
is added the estimated amounts in other
markets, concealed supplies of wool and
in the pullers' hands, gives total cup
ply Of ", ,819, 1882 pounds, against 92; ;284,-
go year ago. The figures for the first
teA months Of 1890 for the whole
United States. show total importations
'0f 81 ,Q4. 1914 pounds, in comparison with
I'D, ,72f, ,456 for the corresponding time
last year; and in consequence of the
lessened amount OF foreign wool on the
markets and the fact that there is very
marked improvement in the wooden
goods business. the supplies of wool in
the United States cannot be considered
-burdcnsome The only weak spot in
the outlook is the probability of in
creased importations of foreign woods
after the beginning OF this year.

CENSUS OPERATIONS.

for the Past Six Months.

Superintendent Porter Submits q Report
for the Past Six Months.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 3l.--The superin-
tendent OF the census has submitted to
the secretary of the interior a report OF
the operations of, the bureau for the six
months ended today.
On the subject OF apportionments OF
representatives in congress Porter says:
.The apportionment Of representatives
in congress was not delayed moment
by failure of the census Office to have
official returns of the population ready
on the convening of congress. If the
apportionment bill which passed the
house should pass the senate and be-
come law, apportionment under the
eleventh census would be about two
years earlier than heretofore made"
On the subject Of farms, homes and
mortgages, etc., Porter says: "The
work accomplished by this division up
to date may be briefly stated as follows:
Number of counties in which complete
abstracts have been made, 2755; num-
Der OF counties in which abstracting is
unfinished, 27 total number of coun-
ties i'll the United States, 1882; num-
Der OF counties in which supplemental
work must be done, owing to the in,
completeness OF abstracts, II; number
of mortgages for which abstracts were
made, S,515, ,516; estimated number OF
mortgages for which abstracts
are yet to be made in counties
that are not to be reabstracted,
81 ,450; number OF mortgages recorded
in the United States during the ten
years ending December 81, 1889, rough
count and estimate. 8.572, ,965; number
of inquiry counties in which investiga-
ton is yet to be completed, SO; number
of inquiry counties in which investiga-
tion has been completed, So; total num-
Der OF counties computed to form an
average life, 1853; total number OF
counties sorted, SS6; total number of
counties transferred to result slips, 216.
Within few months the census Office
expects to announce the number of per-
sons in the United States living in
rented homes and cultivating rented
farms the number occupying their own
homes and farms tree from debt, and
the number reported as owning farms
and homes mortgaged. While the facts
obtained by this investigation will
throw new light upon the subject of
mortgage indebtedness, and while the
material gathered bids fair to be far
more complete and far more reliable
than had ever hoped, the cost of the
inquiry has been great, and will fully
reach my original estimate of ii ,25O, 600
to 81 SOC, ,000."
