One of the natural culiosities in
Klikitat county is Lone lake, which
lies in q butte or mound in the Sim
coe foothills six miles northwest of
this city. The butte looks as though
the top had caved in, as the trees
are lying dead all over the bottom
and years ago were growing where
the lake now lies. This lake cannot
be seen until one reaches the summit
of the butte, as it is circular in form
and surrounded by wall or bank of
earth which is covered with trees.
The bank itself is more than 100 feet
high.
The early settlers tell of cutting
hay on the ground which this body
of water now covers a good many
years ago. There is no doubt the wa
ters are steadily rising Trees have
been covered, have fallen, and now
lie slowly decaying beneath the wa
ters. 1t is fairly possible that the
lake will one day fill the entire cav
ity in the butte and overflow the
banks A few years ago the lake
was stocked with carp, and its wa.
ters are fairly alive with them now.

Mrs. Swisshelm. writing of heJ ex-
perience as nurse in army hospi-
tails, tells this story:
was passing through one of the
wards when | came upon young
Philadelphia zouave in a perfect par
oxysm of anguish Three nurses
stood around him, and to my in
quiry. what is the matterf" they
replied by dumb show that coming
death was the matter, and that all
would soon be over. while in words
they told me that he had not slept
for forty-eight hours.
had one of them place chair for
me, sat down, and with my long,
thin hands grasped the thigh stump,
which was making all the trouble,
drew and pressed the muscles into a
natural, easy position, cooed and
talked ard comforted the sufferer as
/ should have done sick baby, and
in ten minutes he was asleep.
Then whispered to the nurses to
bring cotton and oakum and little
cushions, made them put the cotton
and oalSum in small tufts to my in
dex finger, and while ! crooned my
directions in a sing song, lullaby air,
| worked in this support, gradually
and imperceptibly withdrawing my
hands until | could substitute the lit
tle cushions for the force by which !
had been holding the muscles in
proper position. This done, my boy
soldier slept as sweetly as he ever
had done in his crib
The next morning nurse came
running for me to hurry to him. lie
had slept for six hours, walked, had
his breakfast and had his wound
dressed, and now the pain was back
as bad as ever | went, fixed the
mangled muscle with reference to
his change of position made half
mold to hold it there, and before ]
had finished he began an eight hour
sleep.
Ten days afterward he was sent
home to his mother, and ! heard Of
him no more.

The nine lives of cat are often q
difficult subject to deal with. Uncle
John Townsend had number of
cats as his only companions in the
little farmhouse, and finally decided
that one of them must be disposed
Of. His brother, who lived on the
adjoining farm, offered to kill it for
him
well, now, Abner, l calculate I'll
have you kill that black cat. He
amt no good except to eat. He
won't hunt, and won't have nothin
round that can't earn its own ivin
so you jest take him off"
SO said Uncle John on the morn
ing that Abner came to fulfill his
promise
"Kind of a likely lookin cat, ven
tured Abner.
"Tain't any memory fer rats" re-
piled Uncle John; you jest take
him off,"
Abner departed with the cat and a
shotgun. At night he came over
again. .
KILLED the old cat, did yea" asked
his brother.
II reckon did, replied Abner;
"he won't be troubled about rat
huntin after this"
Uncle John made no reply, but
pointed toward the hearthstone,
where sat old Blackie, as well ap-
parcntly as ever.
"Wellp calculated Abner in SUI
prise. Then, after a moments 81
lence, he turned toward his brother
and said: That's likely cat. Kin
der forgetful, maybe, but l reckon
he'll hunt all right now. l didn't
kill him, but l sort of logged his
memory."-Youths Companion.

Indian shops have no doors nor
windows, but are like large cup
boards, open to the street, in which
food grains and other articles are ex-
posed for sale; and in towns where
Hindoos preponderate and a busy cur
rent Of trade has not swept the
streets, bulls, calves, parrakeets,
sparrows and monkeys take tolls,
which the dealer would fain prevent,
but that he is few and fat, while the
depredators are many and active.
A stout grocer nodding among his
store baskets, while a monkey, in
tently watching the sleeper's face,
rapidly stuffs his cheek pouches with
grain, is common sight as well as
a comical one.
OF late years the tra1esmen who
form the bulk of the members of our
municipalities have felt that there
are too many Hanumans abroad, and
have ventured on proceedings that
would not have been tolerated in the
days of complete Brahmanical as
tendency. Numbers Of the ma
rauders have been caught, Gagged and
dispatched on bullock carts to places
many miles distant There they
have been let loose, but as the empty
carts returned, the monkeys, quick
to perceive and defeat the plan of
their enemies, bounded gayly along
side and trooped in through the city
gates with the air of holiday party
returning from a picnic. Beast and

A London insurance man said yes
terday: I'VE have in London one
of the most unique newspapers in
the world; for, while it is published
every day in the year except Sun
days, a copy of it is never sold or
circulated. The Evening Telegraph
of London is issued each afternoon
from the office of The Daily Tele-
graph, which paper is morning
daily issued six times a week, and
has the largest circulation of any
paper in England, and with one ex-
ception, the largest in the world.
1.-THE proprietors of The Daily
Telegraph, in printing the evening
edition, which is copyrighted, do so
merely in order to protect them
selves in the right to the use of the
name in case they ever care to issue
an evening edition, and also to pre-
vent any one else from starting such
Il sheet and gaining the great advan-
tage which the use of the title, Even,
ing Telegraph, would give. "--Phila.

French Gallantry.

During the Franco German war,
when many French prisoners were
at Rastatt the Countess Zeppelin
was like a real mother to them. "
Every morning, says Chaplain Guers,
she came with carloads of linen,
clothing, medicine and other stores,
and as she divided them among the
men she had kind word for each.
One day, after distributing all she
had brought, she stopped before a
subaltern just deprived of limb.
"Ah, my poor friend" said she
there is nothing left for you"
Madame" replied the soldier, "a
smile from you will content me-"
Here was French gallantry, crop
ping out amid the most horrible sur
roundingsl

The stoutish lady in bombazine posi-

declared that she was not to be fright

was inclined to believe her. She pre-
cipitated herself into the chair in u firm,
aggressive way that carried conviction
'T've been often commended for my
fortitude." the stoutish lady explained.
The dentist cautiously introduced his
forceps into the expectant mouth.
"Wowi Is it out? My, but didn't it
hurt!"
The stoutish lady suddenly sat bolt
upright with her bonnet hanging over
one ear.
"No, madam, had not us yet touched

She relapsed among the cushions.

The stoutish lady gasped.

The stoutish lady puffed for breath.
There was long pause.
"Did you say" the patient laboriously
remarked at last, ''that gas would rem
der person insensible to pain?"
"Quite So"
With a noticeable abatement in ag-
gressiveness, she precipitated herself
into the chair again.
"Give me gas
