Some Examples of Terrible Gastronomic
Devastation in England. &. 4.
The s.Glutton Of Kent, Fuller places
among his worthless, who devoured, at a
single meal, 'four-score rabbits and
eighteen black puddings, London meas
ure." Coming down to more recent
times, there is the probably apocryphal
story of a Scotchman who ate solan
goose by way of a whet for dinner, and
of a Welsh nobleman who devoured a
bevy Of cartridges for breakfast every
morning.
There is also well-known legend,
which found its way into Punch, of "a
certain eminent politician who entered
an eating house near the Old Bailey,
and, after putting away seven pounds
and a half Of cold boiled beef, observed
eheerfu]ly to the landlord: Capital beef
this! One may cut and come again
here" To which the landlord, regard
ing him grimly, made reply: ''You may
cut, but I'm blowed if you shall come
again!''
We are tempted to add one more
story, says Blackwood's Magazine,
which we believe has not yet found it's
way into print. On the derby few
years ago well-knovn man of bust
ness--let us call him Mr. X.-went
down to Epson with the rest of the
world, and after the great race was
over bethought himself of lunch It
was then four o'clock and he was raven
ously hungry.
Seeing no friendly coach or carriage
at hand, he entered one of the refresh
raent booths, where three Disk
pence meal was provided for all corners.
He attacked some ribs of beef and soon
cleared them to the bone; then he
went for; a chicken, which also disap-
peared: finally he espied a pigeon pie
at the other end of the table. which had
not yet been touched, and ordered the
waiter to bring it to him. But the
waiter after whispered conference
with an individual in black, who had
been observing Mr.. Ks performances
with suspicion and alarm, came and
said confdentially:
''1f you please, sir, the governor says
as how he won't charge you nothing
for anything if you will go away at
once.'
Mr.. x, however, insisted on his rights
and declined this obliging offer; then
he proceeded to make a vigorous on
slaught on the pigeon pie.

DEFINITIONS or HOME.

Some Sentiments About That Place Which
Is Loved by All.
The London Tid-Bits offered prize
for the best definition of home. Here
are some Of the best of five thousand
answers sent in:
The golden setting in which the
brightest jewel is mother
A world Of strife shut out, a. world of
love shut in.
An arbor which shades when the SUN.
shine of prosperity becomes too daz-
cling: a harbor where the human bark
finds shell ter in the time Of adversely.
Home is the blossom of which Heaven
is the fruit.
Home is a persons estate obtained
without injustice, kept without disquiet-
ude; place where time is spent with
out repentance, and which is ruled by
justice, mercy and love.
A grand old mirror through which
both sides of US are seen.
That source of comfort which youth
does not fully appreciate, which the
young men and maidens lovingly desire,
which the middle aged generally pos
sess and which the old rightly value.
A hive in which, like the Industrious
bee, youth garners the sweets and
memories for age to mediate and feed
upon.
The best place for married man af-
ter business hours.
Home is the contest, lzindliest, sweet
est place in all the world, the scene of
our purest earthly joys and deepest sor-
rows.
The only spot on earth where the
faults and failings of fallen humanity
are hidden under the mantle Of charity.
An abode in which the inmate, the
superior being called man" can pay
back at night with fifty per cent. inter-
est every annoyance that has met him
in business during the day.

AN UNINHABITED PARADISE.
The Northeast Corner Of the state of
Washington.

CoLyHLE, Jan. 0.-ECorrespondence -
a PosT-INTELLIGEyCER correspondent who
mas recently been on an excursion up in
the northeastern corner of the state of
Washington, has to report that lie has
traversed region which Is in natural
value worthy of more than passing no
tlce 1t Is large enough for county of
more than average size, and covered with
heavy timber, interlineated with streams
OF water and beautiful valleys of land
The hills TEEN with valuable mineral de-
posts, and taking it altogether it is a veri-
table paradise for man. yet uninhabited.
IL Is not an unknown country, however,
as 1t has been a widely known and favored
hunting ground for years, but a range of
mountains, by some ingenious method of
nature, has rendered it an unhandy adj
]unct to the more civilized communities TO
the south. The means of approach to the
Columbia river to the west are by cavern
Gus decliyities in the bluffs which drop
down nearly thousand feet while on the
north and east the great bend of the Pend
dOreile river describes its most interior
boundaries. The principal stream i'll this
region Is Deep creek, q tributary of the Col
Hmbla river, which flows from east TO
west 1t carries enough water to furnish
handsome water-power for a 5000 feet
by valley of rare agricultural excellence.
The contiguous territory is timbered ex-
excepting close along the stream, where
Tor mile or SO wide, more or less as the
valley widens and narrows in its course,
lie thousands of acres of splendid meadow.
The hills on either side rise gently and
slope away under cover of heavy forests of
splendid timber There is good grazing
on the hill and the hill lands are covered
by good depth of soil which adapts them
TO agriculture as well. There are no set
Elements here TO speak of, although the en-
tire region has been explored by the sports
man as early as thirty or even forty years
ago. A few prospectors have taken mp
lands, built cabins upon their claims, and
While the land is not surveyed they enjoy
the pastime of prospecting over the bills
and mountains, which are rich in mineral,
during the pleasanter months, and hunt
ing provides an occupation for their equit-
able disposition during the winter season.
This great section is about forty miles
wide from east to west by thirty miles
from north to south. A railroad has been
surveyed through the eastern portion of the
Deep Creek valley to connect the Metaline
country with the Spokane Falls Il North
ern railway and it is quite probable that
within another year this uninhabited re-
gion will TEEN with busy people and swell
with active industry. 1t is strange that
the northeast corner of the great state of
Washington should remain to be the last
portion to he inhabited.

THE RED MEMS BALL
Indians Dancing i'm Joy Over
the Pleasant Winter.
coLviLLEs NOT DANGEROUS.
Not Much Alarm Felt in stevens County
Old Chief Tonascut is Blind and
Does Not Enforce Discipline.

kErTLE FALLS, Jan. O.-ECorres pond
ence. The news of the Okanogan Indians
showing signs of hostility and the fact of
the scene OF portended warfare being To-
Gated III the neighborhood of the camp of
Chief Moses and the irrepressible and ever
ready Chief Joseph, caused no little COM
motion here at first. The reservation of
the Colville Indians is located along the
opposite side of the Columbia river from
here, and to avoid the annoyance of an
Indian outbreak at our very door a delega-
ton has been dispatched to quietly ascer-
tain the general feeling of the Indians who
lnhabit the eastern portion of the reserve.
Vague ideas are expressed as to the frame
of mind under which the siwashes are be-
laboring themselves. Chief Tonascut,
who is officially recognized as the supreme
ruler over the Colville tribes, is nearly
blind, and, while he is peaceable old fell
low and advises peace under all circun-
stances, the general feeling towards him
by his people is Indifferent. Tonascut, be-
ing incapacitated leaves the tribe pretty
much TO their own liking. The Indians
are dancing all along Kettle river, but
whether it is a dance of joy or whether
they are prompted in their actions by the
ghost craze remains TO be seen. Most of
the squawmen who have recently gone to
the reserve have quietly come over To the
settlements and are remaining here with
out any apparent object III view. They
say that the Indians are simply dancing
because the winter has been so short and
the Great Spirit has spared them all their
ponies, but the impression is left that it
would not be safe road for a white man
to travel over in going across the reserve.
At any rate. the Indians will bear watch
ing. Should they break out, about go or
800 warriors could be mustered into SER
vice and the country would be hard 10
handle by the military, being heavily
timbered and mountainous. Should the
Indians break out, their depredations will
most likely be directed to stirring up their
British neighbors to the north, where they
live in large settlements, but without
means of defense save their own hands 1t
would be out of the question for the In
dians to cross the Columbia river and ex-
peet to make a shrieking success of their
voyage TO the American side. No, we are
not in very great danger, but while the
ghost dance is on it will pay us TO keep on
our guard.
