Colgate Heard From.

A bottle was found III Snake
River, at Penewawa, Wash. last
week, which contained letter
purporting to have been written
by George Colgate, the deserted
man of the Caflin party. 1t is
aAiollows:

%a1l. Tell them TO come and
get me as soon as anyone finds
this, | am 80 miles from civil
ization as near as | can tell.

lost Carlin party. My legs are

Come soon. Take this to Ken
drick, Idaho, md you will be
literally rewarded. My nai1ie
is George Colgate from Post
Falls. This bottle came by me
and / caught it and wrote, these
words to take me out. Direct
this to st. Elmo Hotel, Ken
drick, Idaho.
GEORGE COLGATE
Good by wife and children"
As soon as the letter was re-
ceiyed at Kendrick, a relief par
ty, consisting Of fo,ir men, WI is
organized to search fer Colgate
dead or live.
The genuieness OF the letter
was questioned by many people;
but after comparing tie sigma
ture of the letter found in the
bottle with Colgate's signature
on the register at the St. Elmo
hotel, all agreed as to their ident-
ity.
According to statements made
by the rescued party, they left
all their cnmp utensils near
where Colgate was deserted, and
it is believed that he will be
found at this camp He was
abandoned BY the Carlin party
on the 14th of November, who
left him provisions for only tea
days. 1t is therefore extremely
improbable that he has survived
to the present time.
The letter, found in The bottle,
was dated Nov. ~, thirteen days
after bis abandonment. 1t was
not found until Dec. Is, four
weeks after being consigned to
the waters of the Clearwater.
He was supplied with fishing
tackle and plenty Of arms and
ammunition, and possibly may
vet be rescued alive,

BEWARE OF FRESH OLIVES.

How a California Planter Amuses Himself
at the Expense of Innocent Travellers.
Eastern visitors in California are al
ways much interested in the olive plan
tations which, in recent years, have be-
come a feature of the most southerly
counties of the state. The lovers of the
succulent fruit when picked and bot
tied for sale in the east and north are
always anxious to taste the olive fresh
and ripe. There is popular impression
that it is sweet and delicious; but, like
many other popular Impressions, this is
a delusion and a snare.
A few miles south of San Diego,
where the railroad makes a junction
with a small one track road leading into
Mexico, a large planter has taken adj
vantage of this delusion for his own
amusement On the arrival of each train
from the north numerous travellers dis
mount to wait the starting of the train
across the Mexican border For their
benefit the planter has nailed box out
side of his fence just across the way
from the railroad station which he keeps
filed with nice, ripe olives. A placard
invites victims in these words:
FINE, FRESH, RIPE OLIVES.

Chicken on the Shell.

In certain rather pretentious but
cheap priced restaurant witnessed a
scene which, though funny enough to
the outside onlooker, could not but have
been extremely notifying to the pro-
prietor. The proprietor was also the
cook, and he was engaged in industri-
ously frying number Of pancakes on
griddle placed for show in the window
when party of three who had just en-
tered ordered trio of eggs apiece. The
proprietor thereat seized nine of the
Ovids from a box beneath the counter and
began to break them one after another
upon the griddle. He had reached the
eighth egg when, 10 and behold! instead
of yolk and albumen spreading itself
temptingly into view, came small con-
fused mass of feathers, minute claws,
beak, etc. A look of horror spread itself
over the mans face as he gazed at the
unwelcome apparition, and then gazing
over his shoulder and seeing that his
action was unnoticed he swept the grid
die clear of it's offending burden,
creased it anew and proceeded with his
work. o cookery, how many frauds

st. Murphy.

There is in one of the departments
in Washington an old maid whom !
call st. Murphy, not because she is so
saintlike in appearance, for my saint
has jolly face, and in that woman,
whose hair is sprinkled with gray and
upon whose cheeks the roses Of youth
have ceased to bloom, I see a beauty
that leaves nothing to be desired.
She comes into the dining room &C.
companied by little girl and boy. My
woman's eye soon detects something a
little out Of the usual. The children
look too young to be hers, so make in
quiries and find that they are hers by
adoption. She found these children with
dying mother, whom she made happy
by promising to care for them. How
faithfully she is keeping her promise!
She has taken them to her heart. They
show, as children always do, that they
have not only food and clothes, but love,
and plenty Of it. Do you wonder that I
call her saint? Here is that woman, at
the age when women soonest tire, going
daily to her work, no matter what the
weather, cold or rain, denying herself
that she may make these children COM
Portable. When see her in the evening,
weary from her days work, but her
dear old face beaming with love, say
to myself, ''There is woman who has
won heaven, and am glad to have
known her. and murmur, "God bless
you, Miss Murphy!"- Harriette P.

THE LAZY FIRST BASEMAN.

He Was Favored By Rain Until tho Manager
Drowned Him Out.
The retired left fielder was telling the
story. ''Hank MoGinnis," he said.
twas the greatest first baseman ever
seen. He could play the bag outer sight
when he was a mind to, but he was the
LATEST man in ~ counties, and he
didn't play no ball when he could git
outen it. He was allays turnin up with
q spiked foot or split thumb or some
thin Of the kind, an ginerally made out
to lay off more'n half the time The
summer we were playin in the Western
league we struck a manager who was
onto Hanks curves. He took him to
one side when the season begun an toll
him that he wouldn't stand no gratis.
He marked out to him that if he didn't
play every day he would git laid off an
lose his pay. Sore heels an thumbs was
barred.
Hank, bein lazier than eyer that
year, was considerbul stirred up about
this He didn't have no ikin to play,
but he was hot after the long green, an
he KEEP playin along an kickin like a
bay steer all the time. Finally he gotta
couple Of days. lay off an went to see
his mother, so he said. He got back on
time an complained Of being sick, but
the manager toll him t. git inter tn
game or lose 20 cold plunks, an he got
in. Mex day we couldn't play. There
was big rain. JUS before the time
t. call the game on the day after that
they was another big rain.
"An it went on like this fer a straight
80 days. It would allays rain JUS be-
fore the game, whether we was home or
away. Hank he got fat loafn around
an was on first rate terms with hisself.
Finally the manager had to let out some
Of the men to reduce expense, an Hank
got the run. Then the rains stopped.
Now, what do you think that man done
SOS he could git his raoney without
workin? Seems he knew somethin about
rainmakin, an when he took that trip
home he got his chemicals together an
didn't do thing but make rain every
afternoon JUS before the game. "-Buf-

A French chemist has lately made
some Investigations in field not hither-
to SO thoroughly explored as many 9th
ers, and from them he draws the con-
clhsion that chemical reaction cannot
occur between 1876 degrees and $50 de-
grees. Sulphuric acid and ammonia
will not react at 80 degrees, while at 60
to 65 degrees the action is sudden and
violent. Neither caustic soda nor caustic
potash can be made to unite with the
same. acid below 1876 degrees G. nor
with carbonates below 80 degrees. With
the latter, brisk effervescence sets in
about 80 degrees. If nitric instead Of
sulphuric acid is used in such expert
ments, the temperature where reaction
begins seems to be lowered in every
ase.-New York Sun.

At last the train stopped with one Of

"sosso'' representing go and the ''saros"

Farming In France.

The report OF the Secretary OF the
English Legation In Paris has Just
been submitted to parliament. 1t
appears from the report that no less
than $4,000, 600 Of the inhabitants
OF France, l. O., three.quarters Of the
agricultural population, are occupied
In small farming. There are 4, SO2, 607
farms OF twenty acres or under, which
cover an area Of 24,0OO, PA acres, or
one.fourth OF the total OF the land
capable OF cultivation. Butter, eggs,
chickens, grain, vegetables, fruit,
milk, cheese, and In a certain degree
cattle, sheep and pigs are the pro.
ducts they rely upon. Sheep, and, II
we except a few calves. cattle, other.
wise than for the dairy, are clearly
not suited for production on such
small farms. Grain may also be at
an economic disadvantage, but
everything else here enumer-
ated would be suitable for small
holders In England.
Producers In France suffer, as do
those Of England, from middlemen
and heavy transit charges, for articles
Of commerce which are only worth
from eight to ten cents each in Fin
istere are sold In Paris the following
day for 80 cents; the difference ia
swallowed up by the railways, the
brokers and the retail merchants.
The transport system from Finistere
to London via st. Malo, is also UNI
satisfactory, both as regards cost and
speed, and attention Is being directed
towards establishing direct trade
with Manchester. In Normandy,
however, producers are better treated,
as they realize three-fourths OF the
price paid by consumers. In some
parts OF Brittany they do we'll, but
In others they only get one-fourth,
The system OF association for the
mutual protection Of agricultural in,
terests Is making great strides.

The KINGS Pleasure.

Louis the Fourteenth once remarked
lmpatiently In the hearing Of the
Duke d. Antin, superintendent OF the
royal buildings, that he hoped that
some time a forest which he had al
ways disliked, because 1t obstructed
one of his favorite views, would be
cut down. Unknown to the king,
Duke d'Antin had the trunks Of all
the trees in the Objectionable piece Of
forest sawed through near the ground
in such Q way that they still stood,
though u slight pull would bring
them down. He removed every evil
dence OF the work, and fastened ropes
to the tops Of the trees, and con-
cealed more than twelve hundred
men in the forest to manage the ropes
at signal from him. The duke
knew on what day the king would
walk in the wood, and planned his
work accordingly. The king took his
accustomed promenade, and, as usual,
he expressed his sentiments about the
hated forest. "Your majesty, the
