IHE Puget Sound Zimmerman says
the Puget slilT Company, Port Gam
bic, Wash, intends to shortly start up
three of its mills, the two at Port
Gamble and the one at Ludlow. The
Port Blakely mill, at Port Blakely, is
running Is hours day. The Tacoma
Mill and the St. Paul & Tacoma Lum-
Der Company's mill of Tacoma are all
running full time and full handed.
Something in the shape Of trade seems
to have broken loose from its moorlngs
somewhere in the world.
ITO THOSE who are aware (and IT. y
no great secre) of the influence that
dictated the "citizens ticket" the out
come of the recent City election pre-
sages the complete turning down"
OF an element inimical to the best
interests of Mason County-a we'll
deserved rebuke. Perhaps not one of
the candidates, however, were aware of
their position. Next year will bring
many surprises in politics, and an en-
tirely different element will come to
the front. This does not necessarily
augur republican success, however,
unless honorable and square men,
their best,-arc selected for office.
WASHINGTON lumbermen view with
alarm the proposition to put lumber
on the free list, thus throwing them
into competition with the big British
Columbia mills, with their cheap labor
and immense wealth Of forests, says
the West Coast Trade Washington
and Oregon last year shipped to Cali
fornia 325,000,OOO feet of lumber, and
eastward to the prairie states 100000
600 feet and 1,100,O0O,OO0 shingles.
Free lumber means the placing of
British Columbia in a position to cut
largely into the California trade and
compete to a certain extent in eastern
business. The Pacific coast states

the lumber industry, with an annual
product of $27 100000. Employment

A Mothers Way.


When the Rev. Horace Bushnell was
boy, he was very DESTROYS of knowing
something about music. No one in the
family could teach him, however, and
his mother, with that divine patience
and insight which belong to mothers in
keutral, found that if the lad was to
hMye his wish at all it must be through
@5r. She obtained book and soon
taught him all she knew-the scale, the
keynote and how to find it, and the time
Of the notes.
This was only "book learning" how
ever, and the question was to adapt it
to the use of the voice. Little Horace
wanted to sing by note, and that his
mother could not teach him. She could
sing by ear, however, and the two hit
upon a species of reverse process. The
mother sang familiar tunes, and the boy
watched the notes, observing how the
intervals and time ran along, and, as he
expressed it, 'soon began almost to sing
with u.s."
And from singing airs they knew into
notes that bore no meaning they finally
learned to sing airs they did not know
out of similar notation. The method
had been unlocked, and further progress
was easy. The mothers heart had found
out the way.-Youths Companion.

ARoval Book BUYER.

Empress Catherine II of Russia was a
great reader and lover of books. One
of her services to letters in Russia was
the purchase of the libraries of Voltaire
and Diderot. She was a warm friend
and admirer of these French philoso-
piers, and their work interested her be-
cause she was eager to learn new theo-
ries of politics and government. Vol
taire's library of about 1000 volumes is
now part of the Russian imperial Ii
brary in the Hermitage palace, and in
the hall devoted to it is Houdon's statue
of Voltaire.
The story of GATHERINGS purchase of
Diderot's library is interesting. 1t is
creditable to her tact and her generosity.
Diderot named e15,000 as the price of
his library Catherine II offered him
$50 and named as condition of the
bargain that her purchase should remain
with Diderot until his death. Thus Did
erot, without leaving Paris, became
GATHERINGS librarian in his own library.
AS her librarian he was given yearly
salary of 81 600.
One year this salary was not paid.
Then Catherine wrote to her librarian
that she could not have him or her Ii
brary suffer through the negligence of
treasurer's clerk, and that she should
send him the sum that she had set aside
for the care and increase of her library
for so years. At the end of that period
she would make new arrangements. A
check for eos, 900 accompanied this let
ter.-Youth's Companion.

The King Of Siam, who, according to
late reports, has had a palace construct
ed which he can submerge in the sea at
will and so live under water whenever
he chooses, is not the only monarch who
has INDUCED in eccentricities of this
sort.
For instance, history has preserved
the memory of the ice palace built by
the Russian Empress Anne, who pun
ished several of her dainty courtiers by
compelling them to pass the night in
this great chamber of state, where they
were almost frozen to death.
The Car Paul, ancestor of the present
Emperor of Russia, constructed room
formed entirely of huge mirrors, where
he spent hours walking to and FROM full
uniform-a singular taste for the ughest
man in Russia.
One of the native princes of Java
cooled his palace by making stream
fall in a cascade over the gateway, and

side his dinner table life size figure Of

roar of the beast and the shrieks of the

and igneous warfare, when vegetation
was exuberant and huge animals dis
ported themselves in the great marshes
and lagoons, no man was present.
Volcanic Niagaras of molten matter
shot from the earth's interior, painting
In awful grandeur the nocturnal skies
with reflected confagrations, the noun
tains commenced to wrinkle, and still
there was no man. The cooling contin-
ued, the crust thickened, cataclysms
ground the rock into drift; the terrors of
the convulsive storms grew wider and
wider apart, and still there was no hui
manity to grace the scene. Huge and
uncouth life was that, savage and coarse;
hoarse cries Of savagery, and night was
hideous with sanguinary uproar, but no
mammalia yet stood erect.
From some other world man may have
gazed at the earth through his glass and
speculate as we do when we gaze on
Mars, and thus, while hundreds of gen
erations may have observed, they looked
on a sphere where the elimination of
the creative process in human evolution
had not yet taken place.
But man finally came. He stood up,
but he was a picture. Behold yet his
congeneric brethren in Africa and parts
Of Asia-suspicious heels, suspicious
hands! Jaw, face, eyes, brain, general
contour, all these were lessons, but ig-
norance, if not altogether bliss, had to
be eliminated, as slowly through the
ages did he journey up. His crude brain
developed with his ceaseless planning to
clrcumvent his lower congeners strug-
Cling for existence Organ after organ
was developed, as new impressions forced
themselves, until finally he began to
have vague idea of a most rustic pro-
priety and dim conception of a crude
responsibility.
Such, ON the earth, has been mans
genesis. On other worlds his career
must be analogous to this. If, then, we
would know aught of man elsewhere we
must be able to trace his pedigree here.
Knowing the slow stages involved in
terrestrial development as regards the
evolutions of the spheres, we may know
approximately at least its animal de-
velopment.
But true knowledge, like true charity,
must begin at home. This world is the
key with which we must unlock tn
problems of the stellar worlds.-Pitts-
burg Dispatch.

CHANGING PlANlsT8.


An Incidental Performance That Proved
Interesting.
Gas interesting as anything I've seen
in this town" said visitor to the city,
"was a change of pianists that | saw in
a variety theater. There was man on
the stage singing song, and the pianist
was playing the accompaniment. hap
pened to see the pianist glancing to the
left once, and l looked in that direction
myself and saw coming down the aisle
man that judged must be the relief pi-
anist, and so he was. imagined that
he would sit down for a moment and
wait, but, dear me, was very slow.
He was approaching the piano at the
bass end of the keyboard. When he had
almost reached the corner Of the piano,
the man who was playing began gently
sliding off the seat to the right, still
playing. BY this time the relief was
abreast of the bass keys, and these the
first player, who was still sliding stead
lily to the right, now relinquished to him,
and then the newcomer, still standing,
but also moving steadily to the right.
struck in in perfect time and tune.
"There was a brief time, a second or
two, when both men were playing-the
retiring pianist the treble and the on
coming player the bass-and for frac-
ton of a second they were both stand
ing. But now the new player is fairly
opposite the center of the keyboard. He
settles into the seat, and now it is his
hand that strikes the treble, and now the
whole piano resounds to his resolute
touch.
''In fact, there never was a minute
when the piano had anything to say
about it. There never was minute
when the men were not completely mas
tiers of the situation. There never was
an instant from the time the relief APP
preached until he was firmly settled in
his seat when both men were not con-
tinuously in motion, but the change was
made without jar or slur in the mu-
sic and without the omission Of note.

..The Lost Continent"

DIR. Bowdler Sharpe, the well known
ornithologist of the British museum, de-
livered lecture at the Savage club on
"The Lost Continent. DR.. Sharpe first
illustrated the zoo geographical regions
of the world, with their peculiar forms
of bird life, and explained the occurrence
of isolated forms in different portions of
the globe by the existence of a former
land connection now vanished beneath
the sea. The idea of an ancient tropical
continent at the south pole uniting South
America, Madagascar and Australia is
arousing considerable interest and dis
cussion In scientific circles at the present
time, chiefly owing to the support which
1t has received from the recent discov-
cries in the Chatham islands of Mr.. II.

eler. The lecturer in conclusion dealt
with some problems of the geographical
distribution of birds for which no rea-
sonable solution has yet been offered

children,s Letters.

A little boy who in the absence of his
parents had been sentenced to go to bed
early by relative was seen to be busy
with pencil and paper, after which he
carefully buried the communication in
a hole in the garden and retired to bed.
The missiye when disinterred ran as fol
lows:
DEAR Mr.. DEvIL~-Please come and take
Aunt Jane. Please be quick. Yours,
RoBERT.
1t is to be regretted that not a single
letter by Roman or Greek child sur
wives, the nearest approach being, per-
haps, some verses written by child of
10 in the later empire, which his parents
had engraved upon his tomb two years
later. The ancients dotted on their chill
dren. Catullus wrote an ode to his
daughters sparrow, Ovid to his chill
dren's parrot, and the Greeks wrote
epigrams to their children's toys, They
even made offerings of toys to their dead
children for playthings in the world of
spirits. But no voice of Greek child
comes to us across the gulf of time

Trinle Pnlnr Saw Frame.

Among the recent mechanical con-
structions of note is a triple pillar saw
frame, conveniently designed to occupy
a space not much wider than an ordina-
ry vertical log frame. In carrying out
this plan the cross girder, which carries
the saw frame and the crank shaft bear
ings, is in one piece, the whole being
supported on three turned pillars, on
which by means of screws connected by
suitable gearing they are raised and
lowered together. In order to limit the
distance between the pillars as much as
possible, the connecting rod is attached
to the saw frame that is farthesi from
the crank shaft. There is a bell crank
and fiywheel at each end of the crank
shaft, which enable the machine t. work
steadily at high speeds without excessive
vibration. New York Sun.

other Worlds. Ours and Man From the
Standpoint of Evolution.
Are there other worlds? The answer
must be yes. The deductions of science
demand it Enthusiastically. It may be diff
ficult or impossible to determine just
what particular orbs are habitable or in
habited or to what plane their animated
structures may have advanced In the
creative scale, but as the universe eter-
nally was, since this succession of world
development and decadence has been in
eternal operation, the conclusion is ire
sistible that there never has been time
there was not an infinity Of spheres in
habited. Are we then to conclude that
every orb In the skies Is the abode of life2
Certainly not; nor can we conclude
that they are all habitable, for that mat
ter.
We must disabuse our minds of the
idea that the universe is solely run to
accommodate our little earth and its
fighting biped known as man-that the
universe is simply a stage on which he
may sicken the gods with his bombastic
exploits.
Man, wherever he presents himself,
must be simply a response to conditions
that invite him, and he is an amazingly
long time in responding. Nothing is
clearer In mathematics than is this fact
in anthropology. Long after the earth's
crust was cool. after ages OF aqueous
