ern Pacific, who returned tonight from
Idaho, says through trains will be run
without transfer by next Monday. Trains
are now running over the main line with
transfer of sixteen miles by boat on
Lake Pen d'Oreille from sand Point to
Hope, Idaho. The main trouble now is
at Pack River trestle, six miles west Of
Hope, 100 bents of the trestle having been
washed away. Desolation reigns in the
Valley of Clark's Fork, the flooded set
tiers having lost their all. Railroad re-
ports state that the Frazer River rose 100
feet above low water in high gorges; the
Columbia near JuaDita seventy feet, and
Pen d 'Oreille River sixty feet.

The Boston Waterman says:
Judge Peters Is authority for the
statement that after Lafayette had
been made a doctor OF laws by one of
our colleges, Baron Steuben was IN
great fear lest he should meet with
a similar mishap Having to pass
through a college town where the
Marquis had been thus distinguished,
the old warrior halted his men, and
thus addressed them:

There is 4 story that long ago,

he could obtain a similar honor for
his servant.
He won the wager, and encouraged
by his success, made another that he
could obtain a degree for his horse.
This time, however, he lost. The
college authorities got wind of his
game, and In answer to his letter re-
questing a doctorate for so and so,
the President wrote a courteous note,
saying that though the trustees

Southern Africa, averaging about 4

Malayan SamaDgs, and the Aetas oil
the philippine Islands. The Lapps
are also VIGOROUSLY Of diminutlye

little taller.
DR.. Parke's experience of the forest
dwarfs of Africa during his travels
were very varied. He had many mar
row escapes from their archers, and
certainly owed his life to one Of their
women He purchased the latter
from a slave owner for a handful OF

cups OF Indian corn. But OF course
he did not buy her into, but out OF

starvation through months OF forest
life.
The first of the forest dwarfs

In market opposition to the giants,
dwarfs are very strong in proportion

gard to his own experience, DR..
Parke says:
