The Portland Oregonian says a car
load of salmon piled in promiscuously
would be a novelty to Eastern people.
A box car half full weighs 10000 pounds
and IS sight for any one to admire.
Nine Car loads in all have been received
at a north end cannery from the Sound,
where there is tremendous run of small
salmon, different from any caught in the
Columbia, but much resembling the blue
back in size and appearance.

I hate myself as n mad man ought to-"
Alasl so many in the gardens of this world
are looking for that flower they can never
find except in the garden of Christ.
Substantial comfort will not grow
In natures barren soil.
All we can boast till Christ we know
Is vanity and toll.
How many have tried all the fountains of
this worlds pleasure, but never tasted Of
the stream from Lebanonl How many
have reveled in other gardens TO their souls
ruin, but never plucked one flower from the
garden of our Godl 1 swing open all the
gates of the garden and invite you in, what
ever your history, whatever your sins, what
ever your temptations, whatever your trou-

The flowers Of earthly gardens soon fade;
but, blessed be God, there are garlands that
never wither, and through the grace of
Christ Jesus we may enter into the Joys
which are provided for US at Gods right

member, as the closing thought, that God

Tho Training ofFevptian Cats.

81 have always found" said Mrs. Mar
shall H. Williamson, that persons who do
not like animals are people who have OBJ
jectionable characteristics. People who
treat animals with anything but human
kindness are, so far as my observation goes,
not people with whom it is safe to trust
very much of ones happiness. 1t really is
uprising how much can be taught some
animals and how human they become when
they are humanely treated. The cat is gen
orally supposed TO be sly rasher than intel
ligent, but see what the Egyptians succeed
ed in doing with them. The Persian cats
and horses were introduced into Egypt
about the same time, and the Egyptians,
who excelled in training the intelligence of
animals, taught the cats to fish and re
trieve and also to take the place Of dogs in
the chase, indeed they preferred them to
dogs. This was how they came to be re
garded as sacred You see, they made them
so useful. "-Chicago Herald.

A Chemical Trium PHI.

The complete isolation of fourine
by French scientist is a recent chem
ical triumph which has excited much
interest. Flourine, as described for
the popular understanding, hasa smell
resembling that of hypochlorous acid,
which is somewhat masked by the
odor of ozone, from its action on wa
ter vapor. 1t, of course, acts powerful
1y on the respiratory organs, even
when greatly diluted, and it causes in
sensibilty, lasting as long as week or.
more, of the mucous membrane of the
nose. 1t is of a acknowledgment color,
somewhat lighter and yellower than
chlorine. 1t combines explosively
with hydrogen, even at great cold
and in the dark, and sulphur, solen-
ium and tellurium take fire in it of or
binary temperatures. Bromine and
iodine burn in it with flame of low
temperature, and amorphous carbon,
amorphous boron, and especially crys-
talline silicon, with the evolution of
great heat. Many other substances
burn in it, oxygen and nitrogen APP
pearing to be the only elements with
which it does not unite

INCONTESTABLE POLICIES.

Life Insurance Companies Issue Them
only in Europe and Central America.
The policies written by some of the
leading life insurance companies of
this country are incontestablc for any
cause whatsoever. If a policy holder
commits suicide lmmediarely after pay
ing his first premium, and before the
ink is dry on his policy, his heirs will
receive the money just the same. That
is because the companies know that
life is the most precious possession of
every individual, and that very few in
deed will throw it away in order to
benefit an heir. The Uncomfortable
clause" is found, however, only in the
American policies. Those issued to
Europeans, Central Americans and
South Americans do not have them.
One of the chief officials of leading
company recently said to a reporter
for the New York Sun:
All our foreign policies are written
subject to cancellation 1t is true we
discover very little fraud among the
European policy holders, but that is
because their schemes are so clever we
cannot run them down The chief
reason for our writing less liberal pol
icies abroad and in the southern por-
ton of this continent is, however, be-
cause wars are so frequent and so liza
Bile to occur at any moment. Europe
is always on the brink of a great war,
and if we should write incontestable
there we might be ruined any
time. In the Central and South Amer
lean states revolutions are in progress
all the time. If our policies were not
subject to cancellation there we should
be subjected to great losses continual
ly Our method is to write policies
freely, but to cancel them whenever
a revolution occurs in the countries in
which the policy holders reside"

RousED THE CAPITOL ECHOES.

An Unknown Vocalist Who Sang Ballad
in the Rotunda.
1t happened during the long vaca-
ton, before congress convened, that an
unknown lady strolled into the ro-
tunda of the capitol. There was no.
body about but the guide and a few
tourists. and couple of friends who
were with the unknown suggested to
her that she try the acoustics of the
hail. At first she demurred, says the
Washington Post, but the idea seemed
to fasoinate her. AS she stood silent
for moment. as if waiting for her ac-
compartment. something in her easy
pose suggested familiarity with the
footlights. Then she lifted up her
voice and sang-easily and unaffected
ly as q bird--and such singing! 1t was
only O simple old ballad, but the voice
was pure and clear, the phrasing fine
and execution excellent. But this was
not all. The echoes of the great dome
awolSe and joined in the song until it
seemed magnihed and expanded into a
whole great chorus. The guards and
guides crowded in to hear this i'm
promptu concert, and even the anx-
ious sightseers, who had allotted fif-
teen minutes to 'sdo the capitol
paused to listen. 1t was grand, it was
inspiring, and the singer seemed to
enjoy this realization of her art, which
she could never attain in an ordinary
hall. When she naused round of APP
plause awoke other ecnoes, until it
sounded like the tribute of a great au-
dience, and then the singer. realizing
her situation, departed. Who she was
no one at the capitol knows, but re-
mark, as she thanked the doorleeper,
saying that she had sung in many
halls, but none like this, gave rise to
the surmise that she was not unknown
to fame.
