TIDE LAMBS.

The Spokane Review is unfair with ref
erence to the tide lands Of this state and
apparently delights in falsifcation. Itsays:
."The tide lands in front Of the new boom
town Of PORT Gardner have recently been
appraised al 81 per acre, probably hun
dredth part of their real value, and under
the Infamous tide land law the land will
probably be sold for that absurd price, since
the law voted pre-enlptive rights to the up
land owner and permits him to take land
at $4 an acre which another man might be
eager to bid in at 5000 or $500 per acre
The Review knows very well that the lands
mentioned will not be sold for that absurd
peice, and it knows, OF ought to know, if it
keeps posted on current events, that all
the work ofthe tide land commission has
been suspended until The work Of the l ar
Dor line commission is completed in the va
rious counties. No tide lands have been
sold yet The Review oughtto get a cores
pondent at the state capital and not depend
upon an uncertain Oregon newspaper for
its reports.

Eight years before the rebellion, it will
be remembered that a gallant officer Of our
navy, in the harbor of Smyrna, Austria
compelled that nation to deliver up ali
American citizen instanter. threatening to
lombard the city unless il was done. Cap
tain Duncan Ingraham was then in com
mand Of the U. S. sloop Of war, ST. Louis
He secured the release of Martin Kozta, a
Hungarian, who had lived in the United
States and declared his intention of be-
coming a citizen Of this country Kozta
had gone back TO Austria on visit and
was seized and imprisoned on the Austrian
frigate Hussar. Ingraham cleared his yes
sci for action, but the Austrians yielded
and handed Kozta over to the French CON
sui. Ingraham was fiery South Caro-
linian. When the rebellion broke out lie
event with his state" and turned his
sword against the flag he had sworn TO de-
fend against all enemies, foreign and do
nestle" He rose to the rank of a connlo-
dore in the rebel navy and died few
days ago in Charleston, aged 80 years. A
singular thing about Ingraham is the fact
that report of his supposed death was
circulated during the rebellion and several
Of the encyclopedias for some years past
have contained an account Of his life, includ-
ing the heroic exploit in Austria. He was

THE Spokaue Review has gone daft
again. In referring to the tide land law,
over which it gets Iooney at every change
Of the moon, it says: ''The time will yet
come when every man who voted for that
outrageous grab will be buried beneath the
infamy Of his record. I" How about Gov

SOME Of the roads leading out of Olympia
want fixing badly. Roads are costly if
they are not in good condition. 1t costs
money in time and labor to travel over a
bad road than a good one and there is a
liability of injury to horses and vehicles
when the roads are rough.

Now that the retailer is almost ready to
begin his holiday trade It would be wise
plan to show only part Of such goods at
first Constantly adding something to the
line will stimulate curiosity and increase
the trade, provided he has the good sense
to advertise i'll THE TRIBUNE so that peo-
pie will know he has something to sell.

A Shrewd Tramp,

People in Broadway enjoyed a joke on
a man who was distributing samples
the other day. He went into every store
on his side of the street, leaving there a
small piece of tobacco to be sampled. AS
the disburser entered one store a seedy
looking man went into the one imme-
diately behind this one, and while the
mar who was giving away the tobacco
came forth each time with one less piece,
he who followed him came out with his
store increased by one Of the samples. A
good deal of quiet laughing was done at
the expense of the agent. No doubt
when the day was over the dispenser of
tobacco felt satisfied that he had faith
fully served his employers. There is no
doubt that the tramp was content, for he
had tobacco enough to last him for many
days.-New York Tribune.

Excitement i'm Tarpon Fishing.

II see,' said Dick Quay the other even
ing, "that Mr.. Dabbs has tarpon on ex-
hibition which he caught in Florida
waters. The average weight of this fish
is from 105 to 1870 pounds, but l have
seen them tip the scales at 200. The best
catch my father ever made was nine in
n night. When he goes fishing he
takes a small boat and lots of strong line.
The tarpon is like the trout, a very gamy
fish, and when hooked soon wears him
self out in darling around %furiously in
the water. The best time to fish for
them is at night.
"In still water they bite easy, and a
good fisherman can land two out of every
five hooked. In tide water they rush at
the bait, and then are off as fast as they
can swim. 1t is very exciting sport to
see these big fish when caught jump six
feet out Of the water in their struggles
to get away. They will turn over on
their sides on the surface of the water,
but they soon exhaust themselves.
"The best fishing ground is in the still
water or the west coast of Florida. 1t
is hard to pull them out on the eastern
side, as the tides are very swift. Pitts

The COlors of Letters.

In my youth | always associated the
idea Of color with the letters of the
alphabet. In later years the discovery
that other people recognized no such
c~OloratiOn came to me as a surprise.
The letter R, for example, always calls
up the idea Of greenness. 1t is impossi-
bic for me to think of R without the
thought that it is green. In like man
ner S is yellow and X scarlet. The col
grafton does not seem to lie in the letter
itself, as printed Or written, but to CO.
exist with the conception which the let
ter represents.
AS the letter r Ome into my mind,
it seems to go, with grass and leaves,
into the category Of green things. The
sound has nothing to do with its appar-
ent coloration, for G soft and G hard are
recognized as the same letter and there
fore colored alike. The c~oloration is not
affected by the character Of the type.
1t is in the letter itself, regardless of the
way in which it may be printed, or of
whether it is printed or written at all.
The idea has no connection with the let
tering in any colored picture books, nor
does it arise from any association Of that
sort.
Words seem to me also more or less
definitely colored, but the association of
coloration with me arises solely from
the letters of which the words are COM
posed. The dominant letters, especially
the initial letter, OF the letters most con-
spicuous in pronunciation, give color to
the word. Thus Rosalind, though con-
tanning but two green letters, has a dom
inant shade of green, as SALIVA or silica
have of yellow. A pleasing variety in
the colors Of the letters tends to render
a word attractive. Thus the words Yer
non Severn and Exeter, with ]contrasted
colors, are more attractive than such
words as Patton, Hammond or Armenia,
in which the colors are few Or not con-
trasted.-President David Starr Jordan
in POPULAR Science Monthly.

The Typewriter in Preparing Copy.

Today Robert Louis Stevenson uses
the pen; so does Arthur Sherburne Har-
dy, the gifted author of "Passe Rose"
The Harpers, too, are a conservative
firm, and have always refused, person
ally, to use the typewriter. Miss Booth,
when editor of Harper's Bazaar, told me
that she much preferred handwritten
MS. To me, however, the real value
of the typewriter seems to reside in the
view it gives you Of your work in cold
blood. The ideal method of composition,
if life were not too short, would be to
dash off your work hastily in the first
glow of enthusiasm with pencil and
paper; even ink is too slow. Let it cool,
blue pencil it c~opiously, copy it on the
typewriter; boil down and revise the
typewriter copy and make a new fair
copy from the revision. This is sub
stantially the method employed by Mr..
Edward Atkinson, of Boston, who, how
ever, instead of writing his first rough
draft employs a stenographer. Emily

Dividing a Long Sermon.

DR.. Samuel Buell., Of the last half OF
the last century, who used to preach two
or three hours, like Isaac Barrows, was
ingenious in OBTAINING his congregation.
On one occasion, after preaching nearly
two hours-as long as he could feel Sc
cure in the presence of all his hearers
he remarked that he was done preaching
to sinners, and that they were at liberty
to go. The rest of his discourse would
be addressed to good people.
A gentleman who once went to hea1
him stated that when the hourglass was
nearly ready to be turned a second time
from the commencement of his sermon
he said, much to the relief Of the person
who related it, 'Once more" After go
ing on some eight Or ten minutes longer
he said, ITO conclude" and after an
other. about equal interval he said,
Lastly" The gentleman added that
he expected every moment to hear him
say, "Everlastingly."-S Louis Globe

How CauarIes fsuiiI o Neat,

Many Of US some tine in CT lives
have taken an old birds nest in our
hands and admired the wonderful struc-
ture, the neatness and care with which
the inside has been finished, whether it
be the nest of a thrush, so carefully lined
with and smoothed off with
the art of a well taught mo1eler, or
maybe the lovely lining which we find
In a robins nest or some of the fnches.
But we have few actual chances Of see
ing these miniature homes put together,
unless they are built in captivity, under
which circumstances the art of nest
building becomes most interesting to a
careful watcher.
Let us take, for instance, canaries. A
pair of these birds in their second sea-
sons building-by which time they have
perfected thoroughly the art, supposing
they are supplied with d suitable box and
materials for the pu-pose-commence
first of all by filling the box with the
rougher pieces of moss, after which the
hen hops into the middle of it, and sit
ting down begins to urn round and
round; by this process the inside of the
ueSI IL LOIlleu. IL l1ey Luu 1t NOT 1ull
enough, more moss is brought and the
process repeated until it is to the salts
faction Of the hen.
After this the delicate part Of lining
the nest is commenced, the hen sitting
in the nest while the cock supplies her
with hair, which he first prepares in the
following anner After picking up a
small bunch of hair, which he holds
across the middle, he flies upon the
perch and knocks it from side to side
against the perch, to shake all loose
pieces out; after which he holds the
wisp or bunch Of hair on the perch with
his foot, at the same time drawing his
beak up it with a twisting motion.
This is repeated until it becomes some
what woven together, and is then pre-
sented to the hen, which she carefully
takes and places in the moss, n piece
after another, until a smooth lining is
the result. At this point she allows her
husband to enter the nest, which they
keep doing in turns, with a great deal of
excitement and soft twittering, continu-
ally turning round and round to finish
it off in a workmanlike manner
