A Quick Reply.

In one of the kindergartens the teacher
was endeavoring to familiarize the
children with the words "cold" and
"hot" at sight without spelling them
by letters. When she asked them what
they would get if they went out of
doors in winter without their coats and
pointed at the word, they caught the
cue at once and answered "cold" in
stantly, but ''hot" proved a puzzler
for a moment.
''Now, Mary" said the teacher to
the little girl in the end seat, "suppose
that you were standing right close mp
in front of a great big fire, just flaming
and faring and burning and blazing
away-what would you get?"

An English Artists Luck.

Lee Stanton, an English painter,
bought leather valise at the Grand
Trunk Railroad Sale of unclaimed bag
gage for two dollars. On opening it
he found 107 shares in the Western
Gas Improvement Company, of Chica-
go, fully paid up and worth $lO7, 900.
The valise was the property of Louis
Halbetstadt, who died in Brockville,
Canada, in October, 1891, of alcohol
ism. He went to Brockville from Ma
piersville, III, A large sum of money
and SOME iewelry, which he was known
to have had just prior to his death,
were missing and it was believed at
the time that he had been robbed. -

Russia In the Pamirs,

Close upon the announcement that
Great Britain has lately practically
recognized the Chinese claim to SOW
ereignty in the Pamir country, in
Central Asia, comes the news that Rus.
sia has already established a garrison
in the disputed territory, and that she
is preparing to move a large number of
troops into the region during the COM
ing summer.
The Pamir strip is generally recog-
nized as being without the Russian
sphere of action in Asia, and it is COM
monty accepted as certain that neither
China nor the Government of Great
Britain can assent to the occupation of
the territory by Russian troops.
Threatened raids into the country have
already been the subject of urgent
protests on the part of Great Britain,
and once already this same subject has
been the cause of seriously strained res
lations between the two countries.
The claim of the Chinese Government
to sovereignty in the disputed territory
would seem to point to trouble between
China and Russia should the report
ofthe Russian occupation be confirmed,
and as Great Britain has practically
assented TO the Chinese claim, and has
herself already protested against the
advance of Russia into the Pamirs, any
trouble that may grow out of the affair
is sure to involve that power.
The news from Central Asia will,
therefore, be watched with interest,
the more particularly as there is a
deep-seated conviction that the next
war is likely to arise from Russian ag-
gression in that part of the world. -

The Turks who are on exhibition at
the Worlds Fair do not have surfeit
of the luxurious ease of which their
Nation is proverbially fond. They are
employed most of the time in carrying
people about in palanquins, and some
times the burden proves onerous. One
who with companion was thus trans
porting a corpulent woman was heard
TO murmur: "Accursed am ], and l
kick my bones for the day that first
heard of Columbus"

There are 5552 benefices in England
and Wales affording less income TO
the incumbents than $1,000 year.
There is great complaint at the poverty
of the clergy. 1t is almost as grievous
to-day as in Sydney Smiths time, and
the New Orleans Picayune suggests
that the witty and sarcastic jibes of
that reverend satirist on the policy
that permits such conditions might be
reproduced. If England is to have an
established church she should not give
princely incomes TO bishops and leave
the humber clergy to abject poverty
and misery.

A Lowell (Mass.) man gave sur
geon now practicing in Great Falls,
N. H., deed some years ago, dispos-
ing of his body for anatomical pur-
poses, at his death, for $40 in hand.
He has since been in South America,
has made great deal of money, and
is now anxious to have decent funeral
and interment when he dies, but coun-
sci whom he has consulted, advises him
that the deed holds good unless he
buys it from the holder. This he has
tried to do, but the doctor has refused
large offers

1t has been estimated that the firing
of a small pistol sets free about 600
foot-pounds of energy, while watch
consumes only about 1-54, 900, 600 of
horse power. The energy of bullet
would be sufficient, therefore, to keep
the time for two years.

A scientific paper describes how to
make ice on small scale. Touch the
convex side of watch crystal upon
water so as to leave a drop hanging on
the glass. Pour little ether into the

evaporation of the ether will render
the glass so cold that the drop of water
will be frozen.
An European dentist is said to have
had great success in curing toothache

cases thus treated by him only three

How water, commonly called sap,
necessary to the life of tree, passes
from the roots to the topmost leaf and
evaporates is a problem not yet solved

sap-wood only, the heart and bark serv.
ing other purposes. That is the extent
of our knowledge of the matter. Be-
yond is mere conjecture, and every
theory yet advanced has failed to stand

ahead for an officer to arrest athief.
The officer boarded the train and the
drummer pointed out the conductor,
who was arrested in spite of his pro-

TWILIGHT.

Slowly dies the long June day,
Softly rolls the earth away,
Lovelier light atlength divining,
All dream ofmisty bloom,
Trembling stars, and golden gloom
Larger heavens and sweeter shining
Which is dearer, dusk or day2
Where the glory died the dark,
Lost in light the ruby spark,
Violet CLEAN, and saffron splendor,
Melt and mingle into one,
When the long June day is done.
All the depths throb close and tender
Is 1t day, or is It dark2
Love the long June day had life,
Silver showers and sunny strife
Now its rosy wrath fades DER us
Eld's vast twilight fills our eyes,
Yet what freedom Of the skies
Parts the star-sown way before US
Is it death, or is it life?

During the fishing season of 1892
the United States Fish Commission,
which busies itself solely with the pro-
pagation of edible fish in the waters all
over the country, stocking rivers with
species new to the region, distributing
eggs and young fish to the lakes and
sea coasts, and working in a vast num-
Der of ways to the one end, distributed
a total of 3O6, $50, 432 eggs, fry and
yearlings of all kinds of fish. The
largest operations were in shad. o
this fish $4,000, 900 fry, 1000, 200
yearlings and 8, 200, 900 eggs were dis
tributed. Cod is the fish most dis
tributed next to shad, and of whitefish,
lake trout, pike, perch, salmon, flat
fish and lobster the distribution of
eggs, fry and yearlings were away up
in the millions of each, every State'and
Territory getting a share. The work
of the Commission, which is of so great
Importance and substantial value to
the whole people, is done quietly, in a
thorough business way, without parade
of any kind, and the Commission is
by no means widely known department
of the Government.

More Pumps.

At the meeting of the board Of public
works Yesterday afternoon a communica-
ton was received from Superintendent
Calligan calling the attention Of the board
to the urgent need of more improved
pumps in order TO supply water in new
districts as we'll as TO De prepared for an
emergency. in case any of the present
pumps gave ont. The communication
reads as follows:
IL wish TO call your attention to the
great need of Immediately taking some
steps toward providing the city with bet
ter and more improved pumps at Lake
Washington and at the Broadway station
before the great demand OF summer
months. While We might possibly supply
the present number of consumers reason
ably we'll We would have no water To spare
for extending our mains into new dis
tricts Now while the cost of pumps may
seem expensive in hard times like the
present, you may consider the great
amount TO be saved by the
use of improved machinery; |
am satisfied that the city can save in fuel
alone. in the short space of three or four
years. the entire cost of the new pump.
We could have a 1000, 900 gallon pump at
Broadway made on the most economic
pattern aud built in Seattle, as am con-
WINGED We have pumps here in the city
which were built here that are equal ii not
superior to the best. This same thing NAV
Re applied to the large pump of 10000, 0oo-
gallon capacity tor Lake Washington sta
ton. One .eason why. in my judgment.
steps should be taken at once. is to give
our mechanics time to consider the matter.
aud II by competition they should receive
the contract they would have time to
make patterns and other changes which
would be required in order that they
~ he If ha tF,1y ,at,fs
among our own people"
The matter was referred TO the council
with favorable recommendation.
A communication was received from
City Engineer Thomson asking that the
board notify the Front street cable COM
pany that AS work WILSON be commenced
on the sewer ii would necessitate stopping
the cable. The secretary Was instructed
to notify the company that work would be
commenced about January >, and the cable
would have to be stopped.
James Mcnamara, ex-foreman OF the
South sewer tunnel sent a communication
10 the board stating that the "centers" or
arches that are used in brick work and
which the city had prepared TO use in the
tunnel work were patented by him and
tae city would have 20 make satisfactory
arrangements with him before he would
allow their use in the tunnels. The mat
ter was referred 10 Commissioner Van
Brocklin for Investigation.
All The bids for furnishing sand for the
Main. Commercial and Front street sewers
were rejected and the city will do its own
hauling. as IN the opinion of the board il
can he done much cheaper.
There are now about 500 men employed
on snRer and street nnrk
