Is precarious. Devillers had adiudicated

with a publisher. France demanded
that DeVillers sign document admit

inconsistent. This DeVillers refused to

that the injured may receive needed at

wreck ON rhe southern.

7 PORTLAND, June THE south-bound
through Southern Pacific freight train,
which left here yesterday morning, was
wrecked at O'Clock last night at point
IL mlles north of Grants pass. The
cause of the wreck is unknowd here by
the officials, but is believed fo have been
a broken car axle. A. w. Dohlberg, a
bridge foreman sustained broken leg,
but no one else was injured. The engine
was not disabled, though the entire
train of 2S cars were thrown off the rails,
but nearly all remained on the ties.
The wreck happened on heavy down
grade, and terminated very fortunately.
The north bound overland was delayed,
and instead of reaching here this snorn-
ing will not arrive till late tonight. The
track has been cleared, and all trains
are moving. The freight cars are but

Experience of The Ship Berean on
Voyage From Tasmania to
England.

LONDON, June S.-TheA British ship
Berean, from Tasmania, via. Cape Horn,
encountered a remarkable but not I'M.
usual phenomenon at sea, viz, storm
OF dust After crossing the equator she
fell into the northeast trade winds, and
when about 600 miles west of the Cape
de Verde islands. the nearest land, ''the
Berean's sails and rigging were thinly
coated with a very fine powdery dust of
q dark yellow or saffron color, scarcely
discernible on or near the deck, but pro-
fuse on the higher part of the rigging
SO that the sails appeared tanned"
Fine dust falling on vessels in the Allan
tic near the Cape de Verde archipelago
has often been reported, but it has SO
often been of a reddish hue that it is
known among sailors as "red fog,'' and
has been generally supposed to come
from South America. The observation
on board the Berean appears to over
throw this conclusion, and to determine
the African origin both of the Atlantic
dust and the so-called ''blood rains'' of
southern Europe. Admiral Smyth many
years ago reported, during his stay in
Sicily, March IA, 1914, "blood rain,
which 'fell in large muddy drops, and de-
posted very minute sand of yellow
red color;" quite similar to that now re-
ported by the Berean. He then re-
garded it as ''sirocco dust" from the
African desert, ''crowning the beautiful
theory of atmospheric circulation
Both on the Atlantic ocean and i'm
Europe these rains of dust have almost
invariably fallen between January and
April; period of the year in which the
Sahara is most arid.

POLISHING FURNITURE.

Varnish is not a desirable finish for
any kind of furniture on account of the
ease with which it is scratched. A polish
equal to the best varnish is made in this
a If necessary to fill the grain of
the wood use boiled linseed oil warm
and add to it enough corn starch to
make a thin paste. This is Welt rubbed
into the wood with a flannel rubber,
giving time for each coat to be absorbed.
Then melt in a suitable vessel, a tin cup
or can will do, two ounces of white or
clean yellow wax. Add to it while
liquid four ounces of pure spirits of tur-
pentine, and stir until cool. This is ap-
piled to the wood and is thoroughly we'll
rubbed with a soft flannel rubber until a
brilliant surface is made. When the
polish becomes dull, repeat, and in time
a very fine surface and durable varnish
that will not be scratched easily is pro-
cured. Antique oak thus treated takes
a very high polish, and gradually becomes
darker. The dark color of very old oa5
is made by applying sulphuric acid to
the wood, by which the surface is oxi-
dlzed and acquires the appearance of
wood that is two or three centuries old.
The darkened surface is then sncothed
with fine sind paper and polished in tbs
way above mentioned. The present fad
for old furniture is only a revival of one
that was popular about fifty years ago.
Most of it is made as here described

fore their search was rewarded. When
they finally found a skif and got across
the river not a man in Tuscumbia would
receive so dilapidated-looking a couple,
and it was broad day before they could

city, resigned to everything in life, even
to the final vanquishment of Major
Falkenburg and his brave legion.
Colonel Phillips and his men returned
to camp and two days later, while the off,
GERS were basking in the sun, a flag of truci
approached the picket lines. Majo
Clements was Proves Marshal of thu
region at the time and he went out to
meet the messenger of some sort Of
peace. He found it was a hireling Of
Major Falkenburg, bearing a great bas
ket with about two bushels of welding
cake which Mrs. Charity had bake
with her own hands and sent him-he
parting shot in the campaign. Tn
messenger was received with all courtesy,
was entertained as became a belligerent
in the time of temporary cessation o
hostilities and was given safe conduct out
side the Lines when formalities had beer
complied with. Then Colonel Phillips,
making the best OF a bad matter, sharsc
his cake with his command and was bet,

fed by wounds, and after some years of

Among the numerous petty principal
tiles of Germany is the Grand Dlchy OF
SAKE. Coburg Gotha. The whole popu'
lation is less than 200. 600, and its very

for the eocentricities of the Grand Duke

all occasions. He, however, has no
children, and his heir apparent is the
Duke of Edinburgh, whose wife is
sister of the Czsr of RUSSIA, and at heart
an intense Russian, especially in her dis.

Wen read that book, WEN sing that song,
But whens Oh, when the days are long;
When thoughts are free and voices clear;
Some happy time within the year.
The days troop by with noiseless tread,
The song unsung, the book unread.
Well see that friend, and make him feel
The weight of friendship, true as steel;
Some flower of sympathy bestow,
But time sweeps on with steady flow,
Until with quick, ~reproachful tear.
We lay our flowers upon his bier.
And still we walk the desert sands,
And still with trifes ill our hands,
While ever just beyond our reach,
Al fairer purpose shows to each,
The deeds WI have not done, but willed,
Remain to haunt us-unfulflled.

have a magnificent reservation and iue
farms and good houses, but the houses

HOUSEHOLD AFFAIRS.
KEEPING BEEF AND PORK.

It is much harder to keep beef through
the year without spelling than it is pork,
probably because the beef has usually
more lean meat in proportion to its fat.
RI is the lean of meat that taints soonest,
though once begun it quickly spreads
through the whole. Hence it is often re-
marked that it is almost impossible to
keep pork in barrels that have held beef.
Nine times out of ten these beef barrels
are more or less tainted, and as the wood
is porous, it is almost impossible to en-
tifely purge them of it.
