Residents of the Northwest when visit
ing the Worlds Fair, will find the
Northern Pacific exhibit supplied with
maps and descriptive publications, show
ing the advantages which the Northwest
offers for settlement. They are cordially
invited to take their Eastern friends. ac-
quaintances and intending settlers to the
Northern Pacific exhibit in the Transpor-
tation exhibits building and show them
the products Of the wide extent of new
country now being settled up, and they
can also furnish them with maps and
publications describing each of the North
western states. Active cooperation on
the part of residents in assisting to show
to intending settlers the agricultural,
grazing, mineral and timber resources of
the great Northwest, will be mutually
beneficial to all concerned, and all posi-
BILE facilities will be furnished by the
Northern Pacific Railroad company at
their exhibit to further the objects in
view. Truly yours, P. B. .GRoAT,

Infringement of the Furnace.

The first thing to do is to get the house
thoroughly warmed. When it is heated to
the desired temperature. it will require less
coal to keep it warm than if constantly
cooling and heating. There is more econo-
my in filling the fire pot full of coal than in
putting in only small amount, because that
burns away more readily. Do not use your
poker on the top of the fire. It is bad man
agement in the use Of hard coal. The CRATE
will remove the ashes and clinkers, thus
allowing free passage for air through the
fire.
In filling the furnace with coal the smoke
pipe damper should be opened and the ash
pit door and slide closed; otherwise the
smoke or gas will be forced out of the feed
door. In the morning open all drafts, put
in a small quantity of coal, let it burn
thoroughly, then add fuel until full Let
it burn short time for the gas to be con-
sumed before closing the hampers. When
your rooms are heated and there is good
fire in the furnace, shut it up as close as
possible
If your furnace heats quick and strong
from good draft, so that in warm weather
you complain Of too much heat. don't
shake the CRATE, but allow it to clog with
ashes, not under but on top of the CRATE.
Ashes then lessen combustion. Never shut
off all the registers at once. If you wish to
close the registers, close those on the upper
floors, as when the lower rooms and hall are
heated the air finds it's way to the upper
r0oma

A Woman Tells How She Made u Cabinet
of Very workmanlike Aspect.
If there is one thing more than another
that a housekeeper is partial to, it is a cup
board. She is positively greedy about cup
boards, and probably the woman does not
exist who would admit she has too n,any
In fact, in the average house these uscf I
receptacles are like angels visits" f.-w
and far between.
Now, of course, cabinets do not go far in
the way of providing storage room, but
they are better than nothing and are adj
missible in rooms where anything more
capacious would be out of the question.
The cabinet here illustrated consisted in
embryo of a neat packing box. which, when
placed upright, measured "a inches high by
10 inches wide and l4inches Deep the lid be
ing used as door. Behind the box were
nailed boards to form a back, 45 inches
wide and "a inches high in the center, but
dropping to 90 inches at each side. This
back was strengthened behind with battens
top and bottom. The next additions were
the little upright pieces rising from the
sides of the box. Their position will I've
understood from the sketch. They do not
come forward quite to the edge in trout
space being left for the pillars and for the
small quadrant" pieces which fit into the
angles at the foot of these. Between the
uprights shelf was placed, and the tri
angular shelves were next fixed at each
side. This finished the skeleton of the
cabinet
Before adding the spindles the back was
faced with japanese paper, and at this
stage two little shelves were introduced

There is no reason why anyone should
be deferred from visiting the Worlds
Fair by reason of possible inconvenience
and uncertainty attending the securing
OF satisfactory hotel accommodations.
The Northern Pacific Railroad will in
due time publish low excursion rates to
Chicago and return for this occasion,
while its double daily passenger train
service, including through sleeping cars
of both classes (Standard and Tourist) to
Chicago, will as usual be at the head OF
the list in every particular.
To help you in fixing in adsanee upon
your place of residence while attending
the Worlds Fair, we have placed in the
hands of our agent at your station book
compiled by perfectly trustworthy parties
called "Homes for Visitors to the Worlds
Fair" This little book contains list of
about 5000 private families who will &C.
comodate visitors in Chicago during the
time of the Fair, viz: May to October
80; gives their names and addresses, and
number of rooms each will have to spare.
The book also gives list OF the hotels
and their locations; has twelve full-page
large-scale maps, each representing Sec
ton Of the city, SO that with this informa-
ton before him the intending visitor HIM
self can. at leisure, select the quarter Of
the city in which he would prefer to stop,
corresponding IN ADVANCE with one or
more families in that locality with regard
to rates and the accommodations desired.

CLEAR STUFF.
From West Coast Lumbsrman.


The Lumber Manufacturers association
OF the Northwest will soon issue rules for
grading fir, cedar and Washington pine
These can be obtained at cost from the
secretary. 1t is desired that they should
become generally used.
After remaining idle for nearly three
years, the Pacific mill will again be OPEN
ed. 1t has been leased to new com pany
that will probably be known as the Pa
chic Coast Lumber company. The in
corporators are H. g. Foster, George w.
Hastings and A. 7. Prichard. The capt.
tai stock is 10000, fully paid up. The
new company will put in two ten block
and one double block Challoner's, and
enlarge the dry kiln to nearly three times
its present capacity. The mill will have
daily shingle capacity of $1,000 and a
lumber capacity of $4,000 to 5000 feet
1t will be in operation about May l.
l.. F. Henderson, superintendent of
Forestry for the state of Washington, has
secured on the Johns river in Chehalis
county a section of cedar log with a
spruce which has grown over it. The
rings on the spruce indicate that it has
been growing over that fallen cedar since
the year 1880, or 213 years ago. The
cedar is as sound as when it fell. 1t is
is estimated to have been about 200
years old when it fell. 1t is quite posi-
BILE that in 1892 when Columbus landed
on the Atlantic coast that this cedar tree
had just begun its life on this coast and
within the sound of the roar of the surf
of the Pacific. 1t will be an attractive
feature in the states exhibit.
Unless panic or cholera strikes this
country, it is safe to say that the lumber
business on the Pacific coast in 1898 will
be large with low prices generally pre-
vailing. The car trade in shingles and
lumber will be limited only by the ability
OF the railways to handle it. 1t is within,
rather than without, conservative grounds
to say that 10000 carloads of shingles
and lumber can be sold before 1894.
These are very low figures and the end of
the year may demonstrate that they
should have been 10000. The cargo
trade will be better than 1892 in Cali
fornia and along the west coast. Aus
tralia cannot be very much worse than it
has been for twelve months. Cargo
prices are demoralized and there is no
hope that they will improve. A better
feeling prevails amongst the lumbermen,
although shaking heads are still to be
found.

STORIES ABOUT BEARS.

A Black Bear and Brown Bear That Liked
to Play With Children.
Some bears are very fond of play. IL V
said that, taking advantage OF this weak
ness, hunters sometimes tie logs OF WOOD In
the trees 30 that they will swing freely
The bears find them and sit for hours SWING
ing them back and forth. While thus en-
ployed they become easy prey to the hunters
A story Is told of little girl who was lost
for several hours and who was finally found
in the pen of tame black bear. In LOOKING
at the bear she had fallen. into the pen, and
the bear evidently thought she had come 70
play with him. Instead Of tearing her to
pieces, as he easily could have done, he TOOK
her in his arms, almost tenderly as her own
mamma could have done. The story may be
true, for the black bear is Of playful dis
position, except when it is attacked or
when driven by fear or hunger. The same
Is true Of the brown bear.

A Very Dull Animal.

Probably no animal in the world spends
more of its life among trees than the sloth
which is native of the tropical forests Of
South America It lives among the trees
feeds on their leaves and sleeps suspended
from a bough or huddled up at the point
where the branch meets the trunk. It doe
not walk along the branches, but clingl
from them back downward. Fairly active
by night, it spends its day in sleep, and
having little need to cultivate intelligence
is one Of the dullest of creatures. Its CHIEF
enemy is the snake, which is enabled to at.
tack it in its own quarters. When 1t has
stripped one tree of its foliage, it moves on
to the next by seizing an adjoining branch,
but should this not be possible it must per
force come to the ground, on which it walks
most clumsily, and climb afresh.

Revamping a Marble Case.

A little shine on an old thing often helps
amazingly. The .repairer is occasionally
called on to expend his ingenuity on mar
BILE clock case, and he can give it a hand
some polish in the following manner, &C
cording to The Neurological Review: Take
ordinary yellow beeswax and dissolve it
into paste with turpentine; then take a
soft and fine rag, place in the middle of it
a round lump of wadding, fold the rag over
it and tie it together right above the wad-
ding. Upon this take a little of the wax
paste and polish with it. Finally rub the
case down with soft channels

Turnip and Tomato Soup.

Chop up an onion and cook it in a covered
pan for 10 minutes with ounces or ounces
of butter or clarified drippings; then pour
on to it quart of boiling water or weak
stock; add or 8 medium turnips, potato
and tomatoes, or their equivalent Of
canned tomatoes, all chopped up small.
Season to taste with pepper and salt, and
let them all simmer gently together till
quite tender, when they must be all rubbed
through a sieve together, put back into the
pot with little bit Of butter, just to boil
up. and served very hot II the tomatoes
are of good color, this puree will be very
pretty

Vaseline Stains.

Vaseline, which is largely used not only
as toilet article, but also as foundation
for various kinds of ointments, often leaves
brown stain on white goods. II caused
by the vaseline alone, there should be no
difficulty in removing such a stain by a
thorough washing with good soap rubbed
on the spot and hot water, followed by the
usual boiling. This applies to old and OBJ
stinate spots. II they are dipped in am
monia mixed with a little hot water, and
then washed in very hot water, they will
also usually disappear.
