FROM THE FRENCH.
The Story of Young Woman Who
was Buried Alive.

The Story OF Young Woman Who
was Buried Alive.
The following story of a premature
burial is translated from the French Of De
Maupassant:
Juliet, the daughter of a prosperous
French gentleman. was afflicted with a
disorder of the heart. She one day fell
dead. as was supposed, and after suitable
time was laid away IN the family vault.
Her body was arrayed in her first ball
dress, with her rings. bracelets. necklaces
and other jewelry. Her father, prostrated
with grief, returned to the house and
sought his chamber. His valet, who had
assisted in the burial. waited upon him, at
tended to his few wants, and retired. The
gentleman passed a sad and terrible night
1t was cold, the wind hOwled outside, the
snow flew, and he could think only of his
beloved daughter in the tomb.
Suddenly. at 3 O'clock in the morning,
he was startled by the ringing of the front
doorbell. He jumped to his feet wonder
ing who could arrive at such an hour.
Again the bell rang. The servants either
did not hear it or feared to go to the door.
He took candle and descended the stairs,
but before opening the door demanded,
"Who is therep"
There was no answer. and In his weak
ness and grief, feeble with fright, he
slowly opened the door. In the shadow
he saw a ghost-like figure dressed all in
white. he fell back, stammering: "Who
are you?"
ut is /. papaW
1t was his daughter. He thought he
was going crazy. He recoiled from her
and motlo loned her back with his hand.
''Do not fear. papa. l was not dead.
Some one robbed me of one of my rings
and cut off my finger. The blood began to
run and tnat revived me-"
He saw then that she was covered with
blood. Then, recovering himself, he ap-
preciated the good fortune that had come
to him. He took her up to his chamber
and rang for his valet to rekindle the fire,
procure seme nourishment and 60 for the
doctor. But when the man entered he
uttered piercing cry and expired. 1t was
he who had broken into the tomb, knowing
that the corpse had been attired with the
valuable jewels. mutiated her hand. and
left her. as he supposed, dead. When he
saw her standing in the room he th ought
it was her ghost come back TO den ounce

OUR FUTURE BUTTER SUPPLY.
what Washington IL Doing In the
Way of Creameries.

The Tacoma Hest Coast Trade has
this excellent resume of the butter
situation:
The fact that the Pacific Northwest
has been annually sending to the East
and California an immense amount of
money for dairy products, while capable
OF producing at home not only enough
to supply tine local consumption, but
sufficient to export large surplus, has
attracted deserved attention during the
past wear or two. The result has been
the establishment of . number Of
creameries, the success of which has
been gratifying, both as to profits at
tanned and from the fact that the but
ter is found to possess superior merit
to the imported articles. At present
the number of plants in successful
operation in the State number less
than dozen, but the beginning made
in this direction promises steady de-
velopment until within two or three
years at most, when Washington butter
will be seeking other markets, having
fully supplied the home demands.
The Satsop Creamery and Mercantile
Company has established several new
skimming stations and separators this
season, and is handling an increased
quantity of milk, with prospects of
adding largely to the profitable bust
ness done last year. This creamery
WAS established on modest basis, and
has proven that sucL an institution
may prove success in the Gray's
Harbor country, as we'll as in other
portions of the Pacific Northwest. 1t
has capital of $4,000, and George
G. Morgan is its efficient manager.
The success OF the Avon Creamery
Company, at Avon, in placing its
products. last year was demonstrated
by demands beyond the producing
capacity OF ting plant, and an increase
in the output viii be made this sea-
SON.
The Vancouver Creamery Company
has recently increased its capital stock
to $50, 600, and is doing steadily grow
ing business. An electric railway will
be constructed to their plant, and
facilities generally improved.
At Ellensburgh, James Goss, q
practical creamery man, has met with
similar success. He has several sep
arators in operation. and finds q ready
demand for the product in the cities
OF the Sound.
J. C. Goodwin has q good creamery
at Thorpe, and lie conducting it upon
a modest scale, but is making it suC-
cessful.
James Alexander has established
himself at Snohdmish with his Kent
creamery, the city giving fiye-year
lease of suitable premises and farmers
in the neighboring valleys guarantee
ing milk from several hundred COWS.
Whatcom county has five creaner-
les which will operate this season, two
just completed at Lynden and one
each at Sumas, Enterprise and Custer.
Besides those mentioned, Cheney
has q successful plant in operation,
while one was established at Ahtanum
about year ago, and not less than 20
towns have discussed the proposition
thoroughly, with prospects Of this sea-
son and next seeing at least that many
more in operation.
