A New Us. for sh. Heater.


once spent winter with a family wkevs
she mother and the daughters performed
most of the household service, only calling
In woman on wash days and for extra
work. 'eszs' sselS =
They were in moderately comfortable cir!
cumstances, and considering their habits
and their income, should never have been
greatly worried about money matters But
the daughters were always in debt and the
mother, who was a widow, was in a per.
petual worry about bills. The allowances
were always spent before they were re-
ceived, and the aggregate indebtedness was
far more than the sum provided, so that
the surplus debt accumulated rapidly. 1t
was puzzle to Ane for some time how they
managed to get into such corners. They
bought continually and bought good
things, but never seemed to have anything
fit to wear except their most recent pur-
chases. What became of the many articles
which were brought into the house could
never imagine, until one day overheard
conversation that let light in upon the
subject.
One of the daughters had been caught in
rainstorm the night before, and her dress
was soaked, mud splashed and torn. She
had taken it off hurriedly, dropped it on
the floor in one corner of the room and for
gotten it, she said, and it was one mass of
wrinkles and creases. She gave it few
dashes with the whisk broom, then in dis
gust declared that it was no good and that
she would throw it into the heater. Suit
ing the action to the word, she bundled up
the dress, took it to the cellar and a mo-
ment later nothing remained of it but
ashes. A few days later an out of season
hat and some ill fitting but expensive shoes,
only half worn, went the same way.
When articles were inquired for some ex-
cuse was made for their non-appearance.
and as time went on they were forgotten.
The mother was happy py-go-lucky sort of
person, who was to an extent ruled by her
daughters, and they .silenced her remon-
strances whenever she ventured, and by
declaring that the things were perfectly
useless, and why not have them out of the
way?
Articles of furniture requiring only a
moments repairs were broken up for
kindling, tins with a speck of hole in
were given to the ashman, and everything
and anything the puttingin order of which
took time or pains were disposed of in the
same way. But it was into the capacious
jaws of the heater that the goods and chat
tells of that family went, and wastefulness
and extravaganza took on a new meaning
to me after tina winters experience with
the heater as a consuming element.-New
York Ledger.

The Portland sugar merchants must

The Portland sugar merchants must
be the smallest men on earth. A while
ago they got scared to death because the
only firm in The Dalles that buys from
the refneries was reported as selling
sugar half a cent a pound cheaper than
they were. So they dubbed together
Francisco to fix things up with Claus
Spreckels and it is to be inferred that
they got satisfaction for few days ago
it was announced that they were now
selling half cent cheaper than The
Dalles but they are not for the firm in
question says they are able and willing
to meet the Portland merchants at any
price they may put on.

Effects of EngIand's CIoudiness.

Reviewing English weather and
wheat since l775, Nature draws the in
ference that rainfall rules the harvests
far more potently than mean tempera-
ture. The mean summer temperature of
the years of superior crops has exceeded
by only 1.S0 that of the years of inferior
crops. The mean rainfall for the sum-
mers of bad crops has been 2.9 inches
more than that of good seasons, which
means that the wet summers had half as
much more rain-with consequent de-
6ciency of the sunshine so vital to the
growth and maturity of the plants-than
the dry ones. The wheat yield follows
the rainfall inversely, being greatest in
the hot, dry summers, and least in the
wet, sunless summers.

Doing Poor Business.

A gentleman who visited the Lower
Cascades yesterday reports that the
river is rising about ten inches per day,
which is very encouraging to fishermen.
The catch of salmon, however continues
to be very light. He visited six wheels
and saw hardly any salmon at all, the
principal fish being taken in the wheels
being suckers and young sturgeon, of
which there were great numbers, and
some large sturgeon. The gill net fisher
men up there are not putting out their
nets, as they do not catch enough fish to
pay for the wear and tear of the nets.
The fishermen are hopeful that the rise
in the river will bring up run of fish,

EngIand,s Real Estate Loss.

A mistake which cost the British govern
ment about as much territory as there is in
the state of Rhode Island has come to
light. The error consists of the fact that
the iron monuments at Blaine, and for
many miles east of there, are $40 yards
north of the forty-ninth parallel. which
should be the next boundary line.
Ensign Edward Moale, Jr.. of the United
States navy, and connected with the United
States coast survey, tells the story. Three
years ago Ensign Moale was on the United
States surveying schooner which was op-
Grating in the vicinity of Blaine. The au-
thorities at Washington sent out charts
containing the latitude and Longitude,
which are filled in with the result of the
surveys.
Attached to the schooner was Assistant
s. S. Gilbert, who had charge of the party
working on shore. He sent in plated re-
suit of his work, which was filled into
maps received from headquarters at Wash
ington. When Gilbert's charts were plat
ted in these maps it was found that the
boundary monuments at Blaine, and for a
distance east thereof. were 800 yards to the
north OF the forty-ninth parallel
AT first we thought we were mistaken, %
said Ensign Moale, land carefully went
over the work time and again, only to
verify the fact that the boundary monu-
ments were further north than they should
be-"
"How did the mistake occuri"
81 suppose when the boundary line sur
vey was made in 1859 under the direction
of the joint American and English com
mission that slight error was made by
the surveyors in northern Montana or the
Rocky mountains. This was trifiing at
the start. but kept widening out until it
covers 800 yards wide at the Straits of
Georgia"
"Can the British demand the territory
back?''
mo, they cannot, because the boundary
line between the United States and Can
ada is fixed by these monuments, which
are of iron and are, placed every mile from
the Lake of the Woods to the straits of
Georgia. From the Lake of the Woods to
the Atlantic the boundary line is fixed by
the lakes and rivers. This fact has never
beeen officially reported to Washington. -

The third party movement inaugurated
at Cincinnati the other day may well
sound a solemn note of warning in the
ears of the republican party. On the
lines of this convention the third partys
continuance in existence forebodes the
restoration to power of the democratic
party. The South was not represented
and the states in the north and west,
heretofore republican have become the
strongholds of the new movement. If
this state of affairs continues it simply
means solid south and divided north
and that in turn means the triumph of
democracy for the most sanguine mem
bers of the new party can scarcely hope
to carry the next presidential election.
1t is evident that intelligent democrats
take this view of the case for a late issue
of the Portland Telegram says:
If the peoples party can carry any
Western state hitherto republican, or
can pull enough votes hitherto republi-
can in any such state to give in to the
democracy, it will have performed very
valuable service for the people of the
whole country.
The first thing to accomplish is the
overthrow OF the republican party, and
if any of these thlrd-party men really
. consider themselves, as charged by the
republican organs, as democratic as
sistants,' their intentions are to be
commended.
If the deluded Western farmers and
Eastern laborers can't jump clear out of
the republican party into the democratic
camp all at once, they can at least aban-
don the old party for new one. The
only strange thing is that any of these

1t is little wonder that our Transports

costs them too much to kill off opposi-
ton. 1t must have taken a lot of money
to wreck the Great Republic, but the
company has made it all back in not hav-
ing the least opposition from that day to
this. The Astorian is authority for say
lug that the Wilmington, now about to
be put'on the line between Portland and
Coos Bay has lain in Oakland creek for
a long time getting $1,000 month for do
ing nothing. That $14, 400 a year came
out of the pockets of the people in the
shape-of increased rates. 1t would be
interesting to know how much it has
cost the railroad company, in the past
twenty years to keep the Columbia closed
and to cut off opposition between this
city and Portland. We hope the day is
at hand when the internal business will
end forever. .as

Recent experiments in grating the
skin of a white person on a negro and
vice versG have resulted in the discovery
that while colored skin transplanted on a
white man will lose its color and become
white, white skin grated upon negro
will never become black. From this it
will be seen that the old scriptural query,
'sCan the Etheopean change his skim"
has found an answer in the discoveries of
modern science.

The CHRONICLE has no fight to make
with the new third party or any other
party but it does seem to us that no
sane man could expect party to hang
together for any length of time, or ac-
complish any lasting good with SO many
impracticable and visionary theorists
connected with it. Can it be possible
that any man believes that it is proper
for the United States government to 60
into the business of loaning money to
one or any class of its citizens at two
per cent, or any other per cent? AS
well talk of furnishing wheat at twenty
cents a bushel when it is worth eighty
cents. Can the party seriously enter
tain the thought, in the teeth of the
constitution of the United States, of the
government seizing all lands held by the
railroads in access of their actual needs?
As well talk of confiscating the lands of
every farmer who holds in excess of that
needed for his actual support. Can any
fair-minded person endorse the senti-
ment that it is right to force an alien
who has acquired property in this coun-
try to surrender it to the government,
except as provided in the right of emin-
ent domain. The people of the United
States could not enforce such law with
out destroying the constitution itself. 1t
may have been wrong to have allowed
aliens to acquire property. 1t is right
to shut them off from acquiring more.
1t will never be right to deprive them
by force of that which they have ac-
quired legally and peacefully. These
and other doctrines that breathe the
spirit of anarchy and communism must
be eliminated from the creed of the new
party before it can ever command the
respect OF, the honest rejecting people
of the United States. 49,.
