that still hung in the parlor as a re-
hinder of the Christmas season; she was
30 pretty, and she was under the mistle-

1t was an ungentlemanly and unmanly
thing to do. He knew that now, as he
remembered her frightened, startled

tried to stammer out; yes, and the tears
in her eyes, and the little choking sob
with which she had received his STUN

The Safest of Salt Lakes.

A lake with salt roof isn't frozen
salt, and it isn't underground. On the
contrary, this remarkable lake may be
seen at any time during the year, fully
exposed, being even at its best when the
sun is shining directly upon it. This
wonderful body of water is one of the
safest of the salt lakes, and is situated
near Obdorsk, Siberia The lake is nine
miles wide and seventeen long, and
within the memory of man was not en-
tirely rooted over by the salt deposit.
Originally evaporation played the most
prominent part in coating the lake over
with salt, but at the present time the
salt springs which surround it are add
ing fast to the thickness of the crust.
In the long ago rapid evaporation of
the lakes waters left great salt crystals
floating on the surface. In course of
time these caked together. Thus the
waters were finally entirely covered In
1873 the lake found an underground out
let into the River Obi, which lowered
its surface about three feet. The salt
crust was so thick, however, that it re-
tanned its old level, and now presents
the curious spectacle of a salt rooted
lake. The salt coat increases six inches
in thickness every year. The many is
lands with which the lake is studded are
said to act as braces and TO help keep
the arched salt crust in position.--St.
Louis Republic.

A maiden Lady once had a fine talking
bird, but, being subjected to headaches
she often put him in the kitchen. The
cook objected and said 70 Polly, "You
horrid thing, l wish you were dead"
Polly soon learned this, and when his
mistress got better and took him to her
own room, he said, "You horrid thing,
wish you were dead"
This shocked the delicate little lady.
One day she met her rector, and, after
he had inquired about her health, he
said, Glow is PollyY"
Then she told him how Polly had af
fected her nerves. The rector said
Send him to spend month with my
bird. He may forget it."
She Immediately accepted his offer
In due time Polly was sent home, and
as soon as his mistress went to the cage
Polly saluted her with:
"You horrid thing, wish you were
dead. We beseech thee to hear us

ELECTRICITY at the Worlds Fair.

Along at least one line of industria
progress, that of electrical appliances
our Worlds fair will show create
achievement than any other one ha
done, All the vast machinery of tn
exposition will be moved by electricity
Everywhere mechanics are learning
that modicum of mechanical powe
can generate electricity which can b
conveyed to any assignable distance
over a wire, turned again into power by
means of a motor on the spot and madt
to work huge engines that local steam
engines have always been used to move
heretofore. Long, dangerous and ex-
pensive leather betting is being rapidly
done away with and a small wire takes
its place without noise or weight.
At Chicago the department of manu-
facture and liberal arts covers thirty
acres. Machinery of various sorts will
be operated in every part, yet the only
furnaces, boiler and engines on the
ground will be from a central plant
which generates and transmits cleo.
trical currents to the motors in different
parts of the exposition. Some of the
motors are mile away from the plant,
yet all will move like magic at the sim
pie touch of the key. At present the
motors are being utilized TO operate
sawmills in various parts of the grounds.
These mills prepare the lumber used in
building the houses of the exposition.
The electrical machinery is not 50
complicated as one mi at suppose, 1t
consists of the generators at the central
plant, the supply wires, and at the other
end the motors with the necessary ap-
planes. The generators at the central
plant are duplex, to provide against &C
cident or breakdown. They supply 500
volts constantly.
On the whole, life will become easier
for the workingman when electricity is
fully harnessed as the servant of human
ity. A mathematician calculates that
in every cubic foot of the ether of space
there are 10000 foot tons of electrical
energy running to waste. When we
know how to capture it and use it we
shall have escaped much drudgery. I'M
doubtedly in time mankind will learn
how to telegraph without wires. At the
other end of the line invention is pro-
ceeding with rapid step too. Electrical
engineers say we are nearing the point
where every pound of good coal will
produce energy equal to one horse power
for an hour.

Perfect Friends.

Everybody has them. They are the
friends whom we are fond of but never
see. Years ago we knew them we'll, but
our boats drifted past one another and
now We meet no more, 1t may be that
when the little craft, theirs and ours,
sailed side and side, the friend had his
faults and we did not always agree, but
now that the boat has faded from sight
the faults have faded too, and the friend
grows dearer the longer we are apart.
Friendship is different from kinship or
being in love in this respect: Lovers
who are long apart grow Indifferent,
relatives bound together by mere tie of
blood become no more to one another
than strangers. but friends are always
dear.
IL a man could have his viii about
everything in this life, and draw about
him all the things that made perfect
happiness, his lot would not be complete
without also the power to bring to him
when he chose the old schoolmates, the
friends who were dear to him and were
swallowed up in the worlds whirlpool
If they were dead we could use our
selves to the loss, but being yet alive
we cannot be reconciled to never seeing
them They are scattered all over the
world, these friends. If we could travel
out and meet them clairvoyantly, as
Peter Ibbetson did his Mary, it would
be one ray of lasting sunshine.
AT any rate, long life. happiness and
prosperity to the friends we love but
never see.

A little lady walked into butcher
shop and asked for two pounds Of beef
steak. When it had been weighed she
told the butcher 10 pat 1t tn the fnincing
machine and chop it up 30 that she could
make meat balls out of it for dinner.
The meat expert, quite an ordinary
looking man, entirely unsuited to be the

instructions, minced the meat and hand
ed it in a paper to the customer Then
he turned in his matter of fact way to
attend to man new to housekeeping
who was inquiring if he had any nice
mutton steak, and if SO how much it
was yard.
The little lady looked at the minced
meat and asked the butcher to weigh it
again. He did so, and there was Just
IA pounds.

meat till it weighs two pounds"

In an article in today's HERALD DR..
A. w. Thornton, of West Ferndale,
points out the possibilities for the profit
able development of the flax growing
and manufacturing industries in What
com county. The capacity of the soil
and climate of Puget Sound for the sue
cessful cultivation Of fax has been de-
termined by actual experience, and
there Is no reason why our county may
not become as noted for the abundant
yield and superior quality of its flax as
1t has already become for the produe-
ton Of hops. The chief difficulty in
getting the flax industry under way is
the fact that before the product can be
disposed of to advantage it must
undergo a process Of manufacture re-
quiring the outlay of considerable cap
ital. Could the product be marketed
as simple agricultural crop like hops
the cultivation of fax would undoubt-
eddy develop rapidly. The rapid in
crease in the demand for the various
manufactures Of the flax fibre in the
state of Washington and on the Pacific
would certainly assure large profit for
the necessary outlay for the develop
ment of this ancient industry.

Ohio is walking prouder than ever.

other east, to come together years after
as the heads of the national Republican
