Spring.


The robin rcdhreast pipes his lay,
The grass is green once more,
The village oracle now sits
Outside the grocery store.
The parlor CRATE has ceased to glow.
No more the lovers sigh
Inside the house. But in the lane
We see them passing by.
The trees begin TO blossom out,
The landscape looks less drear,
The brcezes warmer blow. We know
That gentle spring is here.
We know that balmy spring is here,
For maidcns one and all
Are now discussing just what clothes
They're going 60 have next fall.

LIGHT AND AIRY.



For forty tedious days drawn out,
Thou most perverse Of misses
your sacrifice you say it wasl.
You've kept from me your kisses.
And now you come with lips held up
To miBe-y0aF PeRaBce over
You'd have me leave the arid sands
And dwell once more In clover.
But has II been an arid sand
For me while you've been fastingl
Dear me, so far a. I'm concerned,
Your penance can be lasting.
Sahara was too much for me,
II had too dry basis.
And while you tasted, dear, found
A dimpled, sweet oasis.

Two Fishers GO Out For Oysters an
Return Not


Return Not
Ole Olsen and Leonard Hammer, two
oyster fishers of this town, started out
for the Samish oyster beds in boat a
week ago last Friday. Since then
nothing has been heard from them, and
in all probability their fate will not be
known until Puget Sound gives up its
dead. They had been living in shacks
on the beach, around Dead Mans Point.
Hammer had lately been employed as
porter in the Vineyard saloon. He
was about 40 years of age. A heavy
wind was blowing when they started
out, and they never reached their des-
tination. They We're after a load of
oysters for Ed Taylor. A fisherman
named Parker returned from Samish
yesterday with their effects, found in
their camp there, but no trace of the
men was discovered.

Lighthouse Lamps and Lenses.

In lighthouses there are six orders of lights, graded according to their inten- sity. The lamp of the lowest or sixth order, which consumes only half gill of coal oil an hour, gives about as much light as an ordinary parlor reading lamp (say 12 candle power), while the largest or first order lamp, which burns sixteen gills an hour, gives 450 candle power of light. But while the naked flame of the lamp gives this much light, the French Fresnel lens in which the lamp is set condenses and concentrates this light, so that it is multiplied in power many times. Thus the little 12 candle power flame of the sixth order lamp has in a lens power of 75 candles; and the great 450 candle power light of the first order lamp, when placed in its enormous lens. gives power of some 12.0O0 candles. Such lens is l2 feet high and has a diameter of 6 feet Harper's Young People.

Paper a Hundred Years Hence.

Experts are predicting that the books of today will fall to pieces before the middle of the next century. The paper in the books that have survived two or three centuries was made by hand of honest rags and without the aid of strong chemicals. while the ink was made of nutgalls. Today much of the paper for books is made. at least in part, of wood pulp treated with powerful acids, while the ink is a compound of various substances naturally at war with the himsy paper upon which it is laid The printing of two centuries ago has improved with age; that of today. it is feared, will within fifty years have eaten its way through the pages upon which it is impressed.
