CAN THIS BE TRUE7
An Unsxplored Region Said to Exist In
 the state of Washington.


 An old friend. who has just returned from a town of the new Western States. tells me. says writer in the St Louis Republic, that there Is an un- explored region in the State of Wash ington which is as little known as the interior of Africa. It is the country shut in by the Olympic mountains and includes an area of about 2, 300 square miles, being some 400 miles greater in extent than the whole state of. Della ware.
 This trackless waste to the positive knowledge of old residents of the state, has never been trodden by the foot of man. white or Indian. The mountains mentioned rise from the level country to within ten or if cen miles of the Straits of San Juan de Fuca and, towering to height of 6,OO0 to 8, 900 feet shut in this vast unexplored area.
 The Indians fear the spot as the Javans do their Poison Valley" and say that no man, white or red, can cross the great basin enclosed by the Olympic mountains and live to tell the story of his explorations. But the at mosphere of this American wonder land is not poisonous neither is the tangled jungle the home of wild, fierce beasts or dangerous serpents; the h. dians simply claim that it is inhabited by race of men which are so fierce that no representative of the white or red mans nations could stand before them for moment Being uneXplor- ed no one can even guess at what the physical aspect of this great silent wilderness is. The most generally accepted theory in regard to it is that it consists of great valleys stretching from their inward slopes of the moun- tains to great central basin.
 This theory is supported by the fact that, although the country around has abundant rain. all of the streams flow ing towards the four points of the compass are insignificant and rise only on the outer slopes of the range none appearing to drain the great tract shut in by the mountains. This fact supports the theory that the streams flowing from the inner slopes of the mountains feed great inter or lake. But what drains the lake? It must have an outlet; can it be that this outlet is through a subterranean river which empties into the ocean, strait or soundp
 Evidently there is room for much exploration and a chance to make many new discoveries in Washington's great "unexplored regions"

The Czar,s Journey.

It is serious matter for ordinary travellers when the czar of Russia starts on journey. The other day, when he went from St. Petersburg to Moscow, trainful of business men proceeding in the opposite direction was put on side track in order that the imperial train might pass. and for two hours everybody was kept the closest prisoner. All the doors and windows in each car was closed and locked, and special sentries were posted to see that no one attempted to open them. During the preparatlons for the czar's trip there was an almost total cessation of postal and telegraphic communication between Moscow and St Pstsgs9yrg fer two whQls aays'

COUNTRY GIRLS IN THE CITY.

They Look for Social Life Which They
 Can Be E'J joy at Home.
 T have heard country girls talk of coming to the city for employment, " says lady writer in the Cincinnati Commercial Gazette, and they have given as one reason that they wanted more social life. Well, that is just what they will not get. The woman of business is not the woman of leis- ure, and she has no time for society. She will find more social life in her own home even if she be worker. than she could ever have in the city, and there is no lonesomeness more ab- solute than tho loneliness of a stranger in crowd. Salaries are not lacge enough to permit of such relaxation in tho way of recreation, and after the days work is over one is too tired to go in search of enjoyment.
 In the country home, in these days, the daily papers and magazines come, so that one may keep in touch with the world even if she be at one side of the hustle and confusion of city lie. The fashion article tells her how to dress her hair and make her gown; gives her the latest notion in small toilet details. Few towns are so small that they have no public library, where all the new books come; and the lec- ture and concert are not in'requent in visits. Railways and telegraphs have brought the corners of the earth together, so that one is never far from the center of things There is occu- patton, too, for the girls who stay at home, and particularly those who stay in the country. Do not throng to the cities in search of employment. for you will be doomed to disappoint-

Where Electricians are Made.

A nnmber of technical colleges in and about London have an electrical department, where everything possible connected with this branch of science is taught, and it is noticed that the in- creased number of students have been in this department. Notwithstanding the large number of graduates taking this course 1t Is reported that so far all have obtained immediate employment upon the termination of their period of study.

seven grand duchesses, and this may be stated
to be about the average proportion in most
families. The necessity FOR men in the rural
districts as assistants in the agricultural labors

three are a whole SON. Notwithstanding the

pugs seemed to endure the bore of being ex-
hbited with the greatest philosophy. The lat
ter apparently found much interest in what
was going on. while the former slept. Three
skyes shown by the affectionate owner were
pretty much all hair and remained ensconced
IN their little baskets lined with blue. pink
and yellow silk. 1T was very touching to see
the care with which some of the pets were pro-
yided for, their proprietors attending them ut
all hours. 1t is part of the business of prize

takes its value chiefly depends such diplomas
OF merit answering the same purpose as a record
OF victory by horse. At the same time. dog
shows have a most important usefulness in the
encouragement they give, which could not
very well be done without to the development
of fine canine breeds. Doubtless. a century
hence there will be dogs in existence of much
greater perfection. both for beauty and useful
ness, than any now known.
