No Doubt Of Wong SeOng's Identity
One of the Contrabands Dead.


Deputy Collector of Customs u. A Nc
kenz,e says he has pretty conclusive
evidence that Wong Seong, one Of the
three Chinese captured near Sedro few
days ago. is really the Chinese desperate
who made such an awful fight with the
customs officials at Port Angeles two years
ago. 4 story 20 the effect that another
custom house officer had suspected him of
being the same person appeared in yester-
davis OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES. and Mr.. Nc
Kennels investigation has confirmed him
in the belief that this suspicion was well
founded. The Chinese are terribly afraid
of Seong. They know him to be desper-
ate character. He formerly lived here
and is we'll known 10 nearly all of them.
Mr.. Mckenzie said yesterday he had
heard that the nine Chinese captured
above Woolley. Friday evening, reported
the death of one of their gang about six
miles beyond Woolley. He was taken
suddenly i'll, and died by the roadside.

What nenntr Consists or.

Beauty is only skin deep" What's the
sense in that saying? What good would it
do person to be beautiful-say, for an
inch in depthf He wouldn't know it un-
less he was skinned. Moreover, beauty is
not to be measured with pocket rule: it
is an indefinite sort of quality that needs a
new definition each time it is found.
What is beauty" asked belle of her cir
Gle of admirers. What all women think
they possess" answered the cynic. Ask
your mirror" said the Frenchman. But
the philosopher replied, at is that which
every lover sees in his sweetheart whether
she possesses it or not" He was right
How many times we have said, while pass
ing a homely woman: What on earth did
Mr.. x ever see in her? She's as home
ly as a rail fence" Not to him, though
We know how it is ourselves. When we
were young and susceptible we met girl
whose appearance made us very sick She
was short, and we liked tall girls. Her
mouth was of the pie order while the rose
bud variety had always taken our fancy.
Lastly, she had lisp that sounded like an
escape valve. Well, we don't know how it
happened, but we fell in love with her,
and all her imperfections Immediately van
ished. Wefound that her head just reached
the right place on our shoulder, so her
height, or 'lowth," was all right. Then
her pastry mouth enabled us TO kiss with
out knocking noses. That's one awful
bother with strawberry lips As for the
lisp, we thought it the cutest thing in the
world and tried to cultivate one ourself,
bat our employer asked if we had been
buying some new misfit teeth and we de.
sisted New York World.

One Of oswaId,s Jokes.

When play, written by man who had
reused Oswald's anger by reading a news
paper at the wedding of one of his friends,
was produced, he prevented its success by
inducing $50 of his friends to attend it
carrying great books. These young men,
who occupied prominent seats, read their
books while the performance was going ON,
and whenever there was any applause,
each one of them, as if moved by clock
work, turned over leaf. The rustling OF
the leaves and the spectacle of the men
absorbed in reading made the perform
Rnce a complete failure.-Souvenirs dun

what Borax Is.

One Of the most desirable articles in the
laundry or the Mushroom, and valuable in
m~ny purposes connected with the house
hold economy, as well as in scientific uses,
is the simple salt known to every one
under the name of borax, but probably not
much known as to its constituent elements
or its nature by most of those who use it
more or less frequently. Biborate of
sodium, TO use its chemical name, first
came as a natural product from Thibet, by
way of India, under the name of tincal, the
salt being covered with green crust, of a
soapy nature, which requires removal
before the borax is available for use.-Good
Housekeeping.

There are less than half dozen left of

neither read nor write, Mr. Barring Gould
writes that il is amazing what memories
they have. and how correct they often are.

Physical culture in baltimore.

Baltimore girls are always beautiful.
but they have lately taken up the ply
steal culture fad, which will make them
more fetching" than ever. Mr.. B. F.
Bennett has presented to the Woman's
college, of Baltimore magnificent gym

Swedish system of physical culture is
used in the girls gymnasium. They wear
jaunty costumes and come out rosy,
merry and strong. Thus the physical

Although the French academy elects its
own members it never offers its favors; all
those who desire to belong to the ilustrious
society must ask for admission.
The membership is limited to forty, and
when there is a vacancy the candidate for
election must pay a visit to every academi-
clan in turn and ask for his vote-thirty-
nine visits
This custom of paying THE visits" has
been a stumbling block in the way of many
whose talents entitled them to place in
the academy AS one Frenchman says,
1.-THE academy's doors are too low, and
one has to stoop too much TO be able to
enter without knocking ones head against
the wall"
Twenty votes, or more than the half of
the academy, are necessary to an election.
The preliminary visits of solicitation
must be attended with more than one kind
of awkwardness. One of the most famous
of modern French writers. who missed the
coveted honor, used to say, "Oh, yes,
members enough promised to vote for me,
but wasn't elected. Blackwood's Maya

THE care of piano must be begun the
moment the piano enters your house." a
piano maker said. "and to be effective it
calls for the employment of some good
common sense. If it be an upright piano,
do not stand it close to the wall, unless you
prefer TO have the tone muffled. 1t will
sound best across a corner of the room.
Keep piano in the winter in the coolest
part of the room, not exposed, of course, to
frost or dampness. The hot sun, particu-
larly when shining on the piano through
glass, will sometimes blister the varnish
Neither is it good to keep the instrument
in dark part OF the room, as the ivory
keys are more likely to grow yellow and
there is also greater danger Of moths."-

The peanut magnates grow the edible
tuber in Nansemond, Isle of Wight, Surry
and Southampton counties, but the com
mon market is in Norfolk The rows for
the nuts are laid off three feet apart. They
are made fifteen inches deep, and phos
pilates are largely used as an underdress-
ing. They are strewn along in these
trenches about the middle of April, and
mature after the same term which is re
quired for potatoes. 1t is crop which is
marketed like the Dutch drumhead and
purple Savoy cabbage, running from No

have to go through the factories before
they are shipped northward, and these fac

Shipping in the Maritime Provinces.

The shipping of the maritime provinces
has declined rapidly during the past eight
years, and there appears to be no immedi-
ate prospect of an improvement in the
situation. In 1884 Nova Scotia had 3,0l9
vessels, aggregating 543,S35 tons, whereas
the present feet numbers only 2, I75 vessels
Of 1872 1904 tons. In 1884 New Brunswick
had 1895 vessels, of 800. 562 tons, while at
the present time she has only $50 vessels,
of 1914, 400 tons. The Prince Edward Island
feet has fallen off from pa vessels. of
1928 tons, in 1884, To 1915 vessels, of % $50
tons. Thus it appears that in eight years
the shipping of these provinces has declined

How salmon Is Canned.

The salmon caught in the seines and
gill nets are brought to the cannery wharf,
counted and thrown into heaps. China
men are mostly employed for subsequent
operations. They take each fish, cut off
the head, tail and fins, remove the entrails
and throw the rest of the animal into a big
tub. Next the fish is washed and placed
in a trough, where several knives, acting
after the manner of feed cutter, slice it
into sections exactly as long as the height
of a can. These sections are set on end and
split into three pieces each-one piece large
enough to fill the can, while the others are
smaller. The fragments are then placed
on tables and the Cinnamon fit them into
the cans. Next the covers are put on the
cans and soldered.
After being soldered the cans are put
into hot water and watched in order to see
if any bubbles rise, indicating leaks Those
which endure this test successfully are
placed in an iron tank and boiled in salt
water. Salt water is used in preference to
fresh because it can be raised to a higher
temperature. After boiling for an hour
and quarter each can is vented" This
means that a hole is punched in its top TO
permit the expanded air to escape. Then
finished by further boiling in salt water
for an hour and half If they were not
vented" this second cooking would burst
the cans. Finally each can is tested by
tapping it on the head with a big nail. If
leaky it will usually give back "tinny''
sound. Washington Star.

omens Of stormy Weather.

A very reliable sign of stormy weather
is when the sun rises clear and shortly
goes into a cloud. This indicates the
presence of rapidly condensing moisture
in the atmosphere, which is likely to fall
soon as rain A lurid color of the sky at
sunrise, halos around the sun and moon,
"a rainbow in the morning." and the
"sun drawing water" are due to the same
cause, and are all omens of stormy
weather.

Tremendous Force Of Sea Waves.

Some idea of the power exerted by sea
waves may be formed from the follow
ing facts: An iron column, twenty-three
feet long and weighing 5000 pounds
part of lighthouse being built-was in
course of operation, landed at Bishop
Rock, England, and, storm coming up,
was left dashed by a chain at each end to
two strong eye bolts. Three days after,
when the storm had abated, it was found
that the great column had been moved
distance of twenty feet and landed on
top of projecting rock. A blacksmith's
anvil weighing nearly 200 pounds, and
sunk in pit three and one-half feet
deep, had been washed entirely out Of
the sink and landed near the column of
iron above mentioned. 1t had been float
ed nearly 200 feet after being lifted out
of the hole.-St. Louis Republic
