Char.ss.rl.tle, Of Criminal.

The measure around the skull Of the
criminal. taken horizontally, is always
less than that around the skull of tho
upright man. and his brain is found to
be lighter. his constitution feebler, too,
and his heart is weak. But even among
culprits themselves there are great diff
ferences-thus the highway robber is
naturally found to be taller than the
pickpocket, and the bones of his skeleton
nre stronger. He and the murderer,
when they write at all, write large
round hand with many fourishes. The
thief writes with effeminacy, small
hand.
These people are apt to give the stu
dent surprises. He finds, for instance.
that they are not habitually cruel. Wan
ton murderers will be kind to a pet.
Where they are cruel it is the women
who are most so, and who discover the
most shocking forms of cruelty, and al
though few have talent they are all
wanting in the ability to use their talent
to advantage, but most of them have
great stupidity
They are fiighty and faithless always,
clinging long to nothing. And with it
all they are extraordinarily superstitious.
The one satisfactory thing that comes
out of all this investigation is the estab-
lishment of the fact that education di-
minishes the tendency to crime. and that
as by slow degrees the day shall como
when a whole generation is educated
the children of that generation will be
born with less and less tendency to crime
or to crime made easy.-Harper's Bazaar

Fruit Shipping.

Considerable attention has been
NnaJ Of late in the direction Of fruit
' puinoino and the best varieties Of
sr,1 and other fruits to grow for this
snSpstry. Heretofore farmer or 80
Lied fruit grower endesvored to get
S O. his little vineyard or orchard just as
III nv varieties as possible. That is all
n.a we'll for our local pedlars, but
, ,rb3n il comes to fruit shipping, suffi.
';ont Of each variety must be had il
S Snr success is to be obtained. Then
a a3 question is what varieties shall we
risnt to fill this demand. California
pos in the past and is now conceded to
=" the grape country" of the
United States, and today that industry
;s far in advance in quantity over any
ether section OF the country. But
arizona. Salt River valley, is rapidly
coming to the front, in this product
particularly. Our climate is much bet
Ter adapted to their growing and pre-
carving. and our soil and atmosphere
r;nsns them from two to four weeks
earlier. For an early grape here, as
there. the Sweetwater and seedless are
nprhaps the best, the latter however is
more of home grape and used for
home preserving.
The next grape that ripens and iss
shipper is the Lady Downing which is
much larger and jucier than in Cali
iornia, and OF course comes earlier than
them. But by far the best shipper OF
suy is the Black Mower grape that has
been ripening here for the last two
weeks. The Black Mower grape also
grows better here than in the Golden
state, and is better shipper, sells
better, and will demand a bigger price
than any other grape and furthermore
il sure crop. Wellington Rheims OF
Mesa, has a patch of these grapes, and
his vines are loaded, and he says they
have not had an off year since he
planted, and will grow with less water
than any other grapes, The Rose OF
Peru, the Emperor and the Flaming
Tokay are are also good growers and
shippers. l.. B. Johnson OF Mesa, has
been engaged in the fruit business this
spring, and has shipped over $500
pounds Of grapes, and has realized
from 8 to ~ cents per pound, net
ting him about $3.50 per hundred.

SPECIAL ELECTION ORDERED.
Oakesdale VIII Vote on Bonding
Proposition.

Oakesdale VIII Vote Bonding
Proposition.
OAKEsDALE, July 29.-The city council
has at last passed the ordinance pro-
vidiDg for special election on August
20 next 10 determine whether our citi-
zens desire the system of water works
decided Oh by the council and whether
the city shall be bonded in the sum of
$40, $50 to secure the construction of the
same. There is also embodied in this
ordinance proposition to purchase the
electric light plant now supplying the
city with light, the cost being set at
Sl4, 900, for which bonds would also be
issued. The water proposal is very
likely to carry by more than the requi-
site three-fifths of the votes cast, as
the system obtained for supplying the
city with plenty of pure spring water is
very satisfactory to everybody. The
Hughes spring, with its flow of 10000
gallons per hour, will be purchased, an
engine-house and pumping station built
on the spot, whence the water will be
forced into $4,000 gallon reservoir,
on Browns hill and thence distributed
about town in mains. The system also
provides for direct pressure from the
pumps to the mains in case the reser-
voir from any cause, could not be used.
AS to the electric proposition it is doubt
full if it will be agreed to at present, al
though more favorable feeling may
develop BY the day of election.

Unexpected Decent of the Spokane Hotel
Elevator.


Elevator.
SPOKANE, July 31-Seven men drop
ped from the fourth floor of the Hotel
Spokane to within few feet of the bot
tom at 6:3O last evening. Nobody was
hurt but seven people were badly
scared.
j. ]. Hennahan, vice grand master of
the Brotherhood of Locomotive Fire
men, John Berg of Chicago, Conductor
Percival of the Great Northern railroad,
a clerk In the office of ]. d. Farrell,
superintendent of the Cascade division
of the Great Northern, and a man
whose name was not learned stepped
into the elevator on the fifth floor.
When they reached the fourth the ele-
vator dropped like fash. AS one of
the gentleman put it, they thought they
were gonners, but the elevator fortu-
nately stuck within a few feet of the
bottom of the shaft. The party was
scared, to put it mildly. The elevator
boy turned pale as a sheet and the
psssenges trembled over their narrow
escape.
The elevator could not be moved
either up or down, and the only way
possible to get out was to climb out. An
employee of the house got on top of the
elevator from the parlo- floor, broke
open the roof and pushed ladder down
to the imprisoned passengers. They
lost no time in getting out. Quite a
reception was rendered them as they
emerged from their Imprisonment of
35 minutes duration. Vice President
Stevenson and his party, D. H. Dwight,
president of the city council, and a
number of other people stood by as the
passengers climbed up to the parlor
floor
"Well john" said Vice Grand Mas
ter Mammalian to his friend John Berg,
after the agony was over, "what was
your first thought when the elevator
dropped"
Mr. Berg wiped the cold sweat from
his forehead and replied: ~ Thought
you and | would be sent back to
Chicago in pieces"
Had the elevator struck the bottom
of the shaft it is probable that some OF
the party would have been badly hurt.

THE SPIRIT LAKE OUTLET.
A subterranean Passage Rcfutes an Old
Indian Superstition.

A Subterranean Passage Rcfutes an Ola
Indian Superstition.
1t is a fact that TO the minds of In
dams of northern Idaho, northwestern
Washington and of the neighboring
districts of British Columbia Spirit
Lake. its upper valley opening a few
miles south of Newport, is mysterious
and haunted spot; but it is not true
that this is an ancient or Evolutionary
superstition of the Indians, but 1t has
had its origin since the settlement OF
whites in the valley of the Columbia
and in circumstances that are well
known. The lake was originally called
by the Indians eaning
in English great water looking glass;"
so named because of its sharp, clear
reflections of the over shadowing trees,
rocks, canoes with their passengers
floating over il, etc, which name was
changed to the present designation of
Spirit Lake from the belief, on the
following evidence, that down at the
bottom of its crystalline depths there
are openings to great caverns which
are the abodes OF supernatural beings
who feast upon all the living creatures
human beings, as well as water fowl,
deer and other animals-tnat venture
upon its waters which they can cap
ture. Less than two generations back
a canoe was capsized on the lake and
all aboard drowned, including the favor
lite son of the ruling chief Though
days and weeks were spent looking for
their bodies, that the son of the chief
might be buried according to the GUS
tomary honors due his rank, they were
never found. This event was enough
to fully confirm vague rumors which
4 had before been current that the lake
/ was demon haunted, and ever since II
has been stunned by the Indians as a
place of horror and dangers. About
eight years ago a white man wa;
drowned in the lake, and his body never
rose TO the surface. Ii is now wei
known that the drainage of Spirit Lake
is subterranean, which accounts for
the mystery. The under current il
powerful enough to suck objects sink
ing in it down through and strand then
along it's dark channel. There is NJ
surface outlet to Spirit Lake, but it
waters reappear in an extensive moras
district with numerous swamp-like out
let's.
