Some time great deal of money will
be made by the sale of islands that line
the shores of Puget Sound and extend
northward along the coast to Alaska.
There are thousands of them, varying
in dimension from mere points of rock,
uncovered at low tide, to wooded areas
larger than Staten Island and much
more picturesque, for everywhere in
view is green and placid water, enlivened
by the painted canoes of the Indians
vessels hewn from monster logs-and
there is background of magnificent
mountains, snow topped and Alpine in
outline. There are no such places for
summer residence in the world, and al
though farther north than New York
the climate is softer and more equable
than on this coast. They could, in
deed, be occupied the year around by
men doing business in Seattle, Tacoma,
Vancouver and New Westminster, pro.
vided they had private steamers to take
them to town. In the matter of beauty
this great archipelago far exceeds the
Thousand Islands of the ST. Lawrence
that sprang into popularity twenty five
years ago.

Professor Baeyer, of Munich Uni
versity, has been rummaging around
among the mummy graves of Achmin,
and he has made a discovery of more
than archaeological interest. He has
exhumed the remains of an embalmed
Egyptian princess, and with them lot
of cosmetics used for improving the
complexion and Frightening the eyes
three or four thousand years ago. He
is submitting the ingredients of his find
to chemical analysis and hopes to put
these ancient preparations on the mar
ket for the benefit of the ladies of to-
day. Professor Baeyer's discovery in
dicates that, so far as woman nature is
concerned, the world hasn't changed a
particle in 1000 years.

The Atlanta Constitution believes
that every man who respects his
stomach will applaud the words of
Doctor J. H. Salisbury on the subject
of vegetarianism. ''People who eat no
meat" he says, shave, as a rule, less

meat-eaters. Officers of the English
army in India, for example, assure me
that it is always necessary to start the
native troops off on a march one day
in advance of the British soldiers, that
all may arrive at given point at the
same time. 1t is useless to deny that
the ruling peoples are meat-eating. +"

The greatest strike the world ever
saw closed q short time ago when the
cotton spinners in Lancashire, England,
compromised with their employers. 1t
involved 1861 workingmen (which
means at least 500, 1000 men, women
and children), lasted twenty weeks and
the operatives admit that they lost
nearly $40, 900, 900 in wages. The i'm
mediate cause for complaint was an at
tempt to reduce wages five per cent.
and the compromise called for re-
duction of only two and three-fourths
per cent.

Saws the Boston Cultivator 'Las

Says the Boston Cultivator: "Last
year was the most prosperous on record
for American cotton mills. 1t was not
SO for English cotton manufacturers.
A strike of English cotton workers has
stopped 17,Ooo, 900 spindles, and in
England strikes always mean that cap
ital is trying to force labor to accept
lower wages. 1t is likely that the Eng
lish cotton manufacturers will never
regain their old time supremacy. We
produce most of the worlds supply OF
cotton, and manufacturing it at home
saves cost of transportation both ways.
That is margin large enough to IN

IN A FIERY FURNACE.
Fearful Work Of Forest Fires in
Michigan


Terrific fires swept through the forests OF
Missaukee, Grand Traverse and Wexford
counties, Michigan, doing an immense amount
of damage to standing pine, lumbermen,
farmers and settlers.
The wind blew hurricane, and the fire
swept through the dry forests like whirl-
wind and nothing in its pathway could be
saved. When the wind subsidized the remains
of eleven men working in Louis Sands's lum-
Der camp near Lake City were found.
The camp was burned, and the fire came SO
suddenly that neither men nor stock could be
saved. The live stock, three horses, a COW
and several oxen, were left to perish, and
while none Of the men lived to tell the tale, it
is apparent that they hastily took refuge from
the flames in the well.
The well was shallow and contained COM
paratively little water, and what was sought
as refuge proved to be death pit. The
men all perished in fiery furnace.
The Thayer Lumber Company, operating
near by, lost eleven cars loaded with logs in
the same fire. The engine had to leave its
train to make its escape.
A farmhouse near Tusin, Mich, was de-
stroyed, and the farmer, his wife and two
children lost their lives.

Mountains and mountain ranges in
the United States, and, indeed, the
world over, have usually been named
not by the mountaineers themselves,
but by the dwellers in the plains, who
saw the mountains as a more or less
distant prospect. It sometimes hap
pens that q mountain or a mountain
range bears two names because of diff
ferent aspects present to dwellers upno
each side. The several Blue and Blue
festly by those to whom the ranges
presented themselves against more or
less distant horizon One of the
Green Mountains in Vermont is called
Bald Face by dwellers in the Adiron-
dack region about Paul Smiths, name
justified by the aspect of the mountain
from that part of the wilderness. The
Adirondack Sugar Loaf could never
have been named by dweller upon its
own top. The Orange Mountains took
their name, however, not from their
sunset aspect as seen from the low
lands, but are only another evidence of
the affection with which Dutchmen
cling to the name orange, an affection
that has led them to fix that name on
the map in whatever part of the world
they may have tarried.

The appearance of young lawyer
who has suddenly become prominent
in a criminal trial by technical
knowledge of medical subjects was COM
mented on by the New York Law
Journal in well-written editorial
The writer thinks that place may be
found hereafter for the medical lawyer,
as there has been for the mechanical
lawyer in patent cases, and for other
specialists. 1t is not beyond question,
however, that it is of advantage in jury
trials to have lawyer who uses tech
nical language. The physician who is
being examined or cross-examined may
understand all the inquiries, but the
jurors, who are business men, will not
be greatly enlightened by the exami-
nation. That lawyer is usually most
successful who makes his cause most
clearly understood by the jury. A
lawyer who takes the opportunity of
displaying his own knowledge may ex-
cite the wonder of the jurors, but does
not always convince them. Patent
causes are usually tried before an ex-
aminer or commissioner, and not be-
fore jury. In criminal cases the
presence of an extremely learned med
ical lawyer will probably not be of
sufficient advantage to make that class

I'm the early part uf the war he

stationed at Fort Craig, N. NJ, was an
exception. His Southern birth was

unhappy for him by insinuations os

Several cases of the extreme to

expressed regret that did so. That
woman, single handed, and with only
her pluck and spirits as weapons, had
