The Box Fioated.

There are many strange incidents IN
connection with the sinking of the Vie
toria, but perhaps the strangest OF them
has not vet been recorded. After the
ship foundered two articles which had
been lying in Admiral Tryon''s cabin
were found floating, were picked up and
brought hcme One of these articles
was the Admiral's telescope; the other
was his dispatch-box. Now this box
was of peculiar construction. 1t was
made according to special service regu-
lations in order to contain the code of
signals. 1t is essential that these sig
mails should not fall into the hands of an
enemy. The box is therefore lined
with lead and perforated with holes at
the bottom to ensure its sinking as soon
as it is thrown overheard. But what
happened? The great ship, constructed
with all the ingenuity of modern science
ON purpose to float, sank like a stone.
The lead-lined, perforated box, special
" created to sink, floated, and now lies
at Whitehall, a testimony to the falli-
bility of two sets of designers.-Toroato
Empire.

and altogether, as the young wife said,
we were quite family party; then we
drank toasts; that is, after the Captain
had seen we could get ice enough to
cool the wine. We drank to the
Southern Girl-may the only line that
divides her from the North be heart

woman can always cross"
We drank ''To the Handsome Girl
may she live forever, and always be
young, to prove to mankind that there
is something in this world worth living
for"
We drank ''To the Love-Letter and
its captain-may both crafts sail always
over smooth seas, and find in whatever
harbor they go the welcome they de-
serve"
We drank ''To the Boston husband
may his number increase, and may he
always appear when he is most want
ed" and then he got up and proposed
the prettiest toast Of all: ITO the loving
wife in whom the heart of her husband
doth safely trust" and then we all said
good night
And, as the Captain walked up the
veranda with me he asked: (which
does woman appreciate more, the love
of one man or the admiration of many ?''

gentlewoman wants the love of few"
Then he asked again: "Why does the
disagreeable voice always make itself
heard ?''
And I answered: "Why was there a
serpent in the Garden of Eden? %
And early that morning when the
moon was bowling goodnight to the ris-

and some men singing, and | realized
that they were Just under our windows;

Thee" and | saw a red rose fall out of
the window Of the young wife's room,
and the big, brown fellow picked it up
it had reached the right man. Then
they sang:
COME LIVE WITH ME AND BE MY LOVE, .
and it was a bunch of violets that fell
from the window just next to mine. and
they fell right at the feet of the Cynic.
And then they sang "Way Down Upon
the Swanee River" and the Artist
caught white rose he seemed to know
it would be his.
And the sun was up, and the little
stars had gone to bed, and | could see
the LoveLetter dancing on the water;
and all could think of was: els there
anything so beautiful in life as the Sum
mer Girl, no matter where she may
come from, provided she has the hall
mark of gentility that makes all human
ity realize that she is a lady? And a
little bird that was sitting on the win

sweet So sweet ! So sweet ~ And the

HIS SWAY ABSOLUTE.
An Interesting Island Kingdom in Puget
Sound.


The people of Olympia and residents
of neighboring points know of a lone
island that is actually lost SO far as the
government records are concerned, says
an Olympia, Wash, dispatch. 1t is
known to steamboat captains and people
in the neighboThood as 'Steamboat ISL
and" because of it's resemblance to a
big steamboat. Instead of being lost to
sight this island has really lost it's
identity. According to a frank admis-
sion on the part of the Land Depart
ment this island is not underany known
government.
This discovery was made by man by
the name of E. Brunson, who squatted
on the island about three years ago and
then sought to file on the land as a
homestead. He was sent from one
point to another trying to get it surveyed
but met with nothing but disappoint-
ment at each turn. At length, after
wearisome delay, the department at
Washington sent word that it had no
knowledge of any such piece of land
within the borders of the United States.
Brunson continues to squat and now de-
ties the powers that be to Gust him. He
is bachelor and is the sole resident OF
the island, which contains about SIX
acres. He has small ranch, where he
raises garden truck, ETC., and lives as in
dependently as any of the proud poten-
tates of Europe.
At low tide Brunson can reach the
mainland along low spit of sand but
when the water comes In he is cut OFT
from all communication with the out
side world except by boat. This minia-
ture kingdom is about twelve miles
from Olympia, at the intersection of
Big Skookum and Oyster bays. Ac-
cording to Brunson's first understand
ing his kingdom was just over the line
in Mason County. It seems, however,
that the middle of the channel is
counted as the dividing line in the bays
of Puget Sound, and by this Brunson's
kingdom is in Thurston County.
The question of taxation is now in
dispute. Brunson refused to pay his
poll tax to Mason County on the ground
government, and that he was literally a
law unto himself. This seems to be the
generally accepted view of the case.
Some of his neighbors joked him about
his principality, and he remarked that
he chad a good notion to run up the
British flag and take possession in the
name of Queen Victoria" 1t has been
suggested that if he should sell whisky
within the borders of his kingdom he
would soon find out who owned the
island.
Since he pays no taxes his right to
vote is called in question. According
to latest accounts Brunson was disposed
to favor Thurston County with his vote.
The case is quite interesting, and has
provoked no little discussion among the
Inhabitants of the sound.

ACCURACY OF TOUCH.

Thousandth Part of an Inch in Variation
Detected by the Finger-ends.
There are plenty of men who will, by
the impression carried through pair of
calipers and the fingers ends, deter
mine, within a very small percentage,
the amount of pressure which shall be
required to be exerted by hydraulic
press in order to force onto its shaft an
engine crank or a locomotive driving
wheel; measurement in which a
thousandth part of an inch variation in
diameter causes much more variation in
pressure than is permissible. Indeed,
on some kinds of work done in the
machine shops, thousandth of an inch
has now become the most commonly en-
ployed unit of measurements; q unit
when is divided and subd1vided into at
least ten parts in order to express the
degree of refinement arrived at. This,
of course, far surpasses the frequently
mentioned, but supposedly supert1uous
hair-splitting operation, since an ordi-
nary human hair is about two and a
half thousandths of an inch in dame
ter. The paper upon which this page
is printed is about three thousandths of
an inch thick, and one ten-thOusandth
part of an inch is therefore -thirtieth
the thickness of this sheet. Consider

detected by the trained sense Of touch,

sense of magnitude and the sensitive

FOSSiliZed Fruit.

The Mining Bureau has received a
very curious gift from Victoria, Aus
tralia, in the shape Of some fossilized
fruit. 1t was found alta depth of 100
feet in gravel bed in which miners
were drifting for gold. Usually when
vegetable matter is reserved it becomes
changed by the gradual replacing of it's
parts with silicious matter. The fruit
is carbonized and shows all the lines of
the fiber, the meat, the skin and the pit
perfectly, What makes the matter
more peculiar is that there are no trees
of any sort in the whole surrounding
country, nor is there any fruit now
found like that recovered from the
gravel. The specimens were sent to the

World. Marie Tempest is gifted in
many directions. She not only designs
all her dresses and makes most of them,
but she dresses her own wigs. The
thing that she is never without is curl
ing iron and spirit lamp to wrinkle or
kinkle vagrant tress at the last mo-
ment. Maggie Cline weakness is corset

Made Miserable for Life.

This you may easily be if you fail to remedy
the indigestion and non assimilation of the food,
which are the attendants and originators of
nervousness, that ever present ailment which no
narcotic, mineral sedative or nervine can ever
do more than temporarily relieve. OF course
these remedies have no effect upon the organs of
and enfeeble them, thus aggravating the original
difficulty. Among the most alarming and dam
gerous symptoms of chronic nervousness is in
somnia, VIII oh is the professional term for ina
bility to Sleep Where this exists there is always
tendency to mental overthrow, paresis and
eventual insanity. Begin at the fountain head
of all this difficulty with Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters and avert evil consequences No sooner
does the stomach resume its tone, and the sys-
tenn gain in vigor through the aid of this benign
tonic than sleep returns and the nerves grow
tranquil. Chills and fever. rheumatism, bilious
ness and constipation yield to the Bitters.

Don't Blame the Cook

If a baking powder is not uniform in strength,
SO that the same quantity will always do the same
work, no one can know how to use it, and uni
formly good, light food cannot be produced with it.
All baking powders except Royal, because
improperly compounded and made from inferior
materials, lose their strength quickly when the
is opened for use. At subsequent bakngs there
will be noticed falling off in strength The food
is heavy and the flour, eggs and butter wasted.
1t is always the case that the consumer suffers
in pocket if not in health, by accepting any sub
stitute for the Royal Baking Powder. The Royal
is the embodiment of all the excellence that it is
possible to attain in an absolutely pure powder.
1t is always strictly reliable. 1t is not only more
economical because of its greater strength, but
will retain it's full leavening power, which
other powder WILL until used, and make
wholesome food.

whole coast line has been long sinking
and the process is still going on. A
curious industry is carried on IN The
for cedar. Some of these noble trees
exhumed from their swampy burial
exceeds three feet in diameter, with the
timber perfectly sound. The lay" OF
these uprooted trees indicates the de-
vastation, probably, of extraordinary
cyclones, occurring at immense intervals
of time, thus leveling one forest upon
another that had been thrown DOWN
long before. The cedars growing there
to day send their roots among their
longburied ancestors. The rings upon
the exhumed trees show a growth Of >
800, or possibly 1000 years, and the ex-
istence of at least two buried forests

A Japanose-European Marriage.

At one time if a Japanese girl married a
foreigner she was instantly decapitated. A

direction. He went there 80 years ago and
fell in love with a Japanese girl. Her par

Of marrying him. He was young and ar
dent and she romantic.
IF you agree to marry me, will die with
you." he said.
''Then will marry you. die or live" the
pretty maiden said.
He was a Catholic, and he had promised
his parents not to marry out of his religion.
twill you join the church," he asked
Join anything" said She I'VE die to-
gether."
They eloped and visited the nearest priest,
who advised them against their fatal mar
rage, but to no purpose.
''She cannot be baptized, confirmed and
married all in the same day." said the
priest.
'She must" said the lover.
II must" said she, 'for we both die to-
morrow morning."
The priest waived few customary rules
to fit the occasion and performed all three
ceremonies at once and then interceded for
the brides life. The mikado decided that
he could not behead the Portuguese, but
the girl SHOULD die The priest warned him,
saying, ''S1e is now Portuguese, too, and
you would better postpone the decapitation
until you confer with the Portuguese gov
eminent"
Time was granted. The priest persuaded.
