GASHES CUT By A STONE.
A QuarRyman's Face and Head Terri
bly Cut.

A. Peterson lies In bed at the corner of
South Twelfth and Prince Williams
streets with three long and deep gashes in
his head, received by stone falling upon
his head from o height of Is feet
Strange to say there is not the slightest
indication that the skull has been frac-
tured.
Peterson was working in q stone quarry
near Port Orchard for man named Carl
son at the time the big snow storm set in.
Work was suspended until few days ago,
when Peterson and some other laborers
returned to work. The snow and ice In
melting loosened some Of the pro.
jecting rocks in the sides of the
quarry AID one of these falling suddenly
struck Peterson on the head. Its sharp
edges cut through the scalp to the skull,
producing very peculiar wounds. One
cash extended straight down over the
forehead to the bridge Of the nose, while
another came from near the top of the
right temple to the outer edge of the eye
cavity. There it diverged. and while one
cash extended under the eye to the nose
the other shot across over the eye and
Joined the cut that came straight down
over the forehead. The third cut extended
back toward the ear from the outer edge
of the right eye cavity. In each cash the
surface of the skull was laid bare, but no
injury done to the skull itself. DR.. George
NJ. Horton. who is treating the patient,
says he cannot see how such a thing hap
pened and the victim escape fatal Injuries.
The Snow Rapidly Melting.
The snow disappeared rapidly yesterday
under the continued high temperature and
almost constant rain. Alpheus Byers'
observations for the twenty-four hours
ending at O'Clock p. IN. show: Maxi
mum temperature, 81 degrees; mean, 45H;
minimum, 40; precipitation. rs inches;
wind southwest, and cloudy at time of the
last observation. The predictions of OBJ
server Pague, of Portland, for today are:
Rain; stationary, followed by slightly
lower temperature: storm central over the
Sound and moving eastward.

TALKING AT THE GATE.

Bhthe Tom and Sue went walking went walk
ing down the lane,
With guarded words while talking, while talk
ing in refrain;
The sun was gently sinking, sinking slowly out
of sight,
The evening stars came blinking. came blinking
on the night
The birds had ceased their singing, their sing
ing for the day.
The evening air was ringing. with ringing
roundelay
OF insect life and humming, Of humming soft
and low.
The moonlight slowly coming. coming on with
silvery flow.
The twilight dews were falling, were falling far
and near;
The whippoor-wills we're calling, calling sad
and low, yet clear;
The flowers we're gently sleeping, sleeping with
fragrant breath,
Their vigils closely keeping, keeping semblance
faint Of death
The brook kept up its finging, finging light
spray as it went
Adown the hillside singing, singing songs Of
sweet content,
In its chorused voice Of gladness, Of gadness and
galore,
From its woodland shades Of sadness, to sad
ness nevermore.
Thus Tom and Sue together, together down the
lane
Regardless Of the weather, the weather, wind or
rain,
Walked side by side, quite slowly, slowly
crossing DER the stile,
With voice tones sweet and lowly. sweet and
lowly all the while
The hours grew long and longer, grew longer as
they sped,
And the falling dews spun stronger, still
stronger gauzy thread,
When Tom and Sue, returning, returning up the
lane,
Fourd the light Of love still burning, and burn.
ing bright again,
Where late it had been darkened, darkened and
almost out;
To Dame Gossip they had hearkened, hearkened
full of doubt;
But the twain anew went rowing, went rowing
down the lane,
And talking of love and loving, Of loving and Of
pain,
Their former life reviewing reviewing under
breath.
Their VOWS Of old renewing, renewing unto
death,
So Tom and Sue went walking went walking tC
their fate,
And betrothal came while talking, while talk,

Geography for the Blind.

A geography for blind people has
been contrived which enables them to
gain a tolerably correct idea of the
peculiarities of the earth's surface.
The maps are carved from wood or
nodded in plaster, and accurately pre-
sent the inequalities of the surface of
the country. Mountains are Of course
represented by ridges in the map;
oceans, rivers and lakes by perfectly
smooth, CLASSY surface, while a little
group of toy houses represents a city.
The system is admirable, since it is
really an object lesson in nature and
enables unfortunate people to gam ideas
which they would never in any other
way be able to acquire.

now lenpeStuOus sea became smooth
During Storm.
A terrific storm driving before it a
huge sea like tidal wave struck the
British steamship Dewsland, while
bound from Bilbao to Philadelphia,
laden with Spanish iron ore, recently.
The wind blew with great fury, says
the Pittsburgh Dispatch, and an effort
was made to run the vessel before the
wind, but without success.
Suddenly the waters subsidized almost
as quick as they had risen, when what
appeared to be a black rock was seen

birds Of all sizes and descriptions. A
stream of sperm oil was oozing out

The efficacy of oil was first discovered
by whalers watching the effect upon
the sea near dead whales.

PENSIONS.

From Republican sources we learn
that the pension suspensions have
run up to 100000, and from Demo
cratic sources we learn that the
Topeka agency has paid out more in
the last quarterly payment than at
any previous payment.
Also, from Republican sources,
several old soldiers have gone crazy
because their pensions were taken
from them, and from the commits
sioner of pensions we learn that no
pension has been taken from any
pensioner, and will not be taken if
certain proof of right to the pen
sion is furnished the department (;
and from other sources, Democratic,
we learn that there are men on the
pension roll for slight deafness or
defective teeth. We say "learn, J"
but we mean that such statements
are published; and, with the excep-
tion of Judge Lochren's statement,
there is little or no truth. What
we really learn is that there is a
vast amount of lying done for parti-
san purposes, and if the lies have
any effect at all, it will be to injure
the pensioners cause. The vote of
soldiers who fought on the hundreds
of battle fields in the great war is
not in the market-not even for
pension = and if Republicans or
Democrats expect to corral the sol
dier vote, it must be done by honest
dealing, not falsehood.
