STOPPING to extract a pebble that had

RAP GENTLY on THE WALL.
An Easy Way to Rouse SIeepers
When the Door Bell Fails.

When the Door Bell Fails.
A man who lives half way between
Fifty-ninth street and Harlem, New
York, spent last summer in town alone
in a big brown-stone house with two
servants. He likes to sit up late at
night writing. At o'clock the other
morning he finished a batch of letters
he thought important, and wishing to
catch the early mail he started out
in smoking jacket and slippers. As
soon as he had closed the front door
behind him he remembered that he had
left his keys in a side pocket of his
street coat. He posted the letters at the
street corner, went back and rang the
bell. The house, as silent as the tomb,
gave back mocking echoes of the gong
that jingled in the basement as he
pushed the button. The servants on
the fourth floor both slept unmindful.
I've pushed that button until my
thumb is sore" said he to a policeman,
under the nearest elevated station.
What shall I do?" The "cop." went
back with him and they made futile
efforts with the officer keys TO unlock
the street door. The policeman gave it
up. The locked-out man went in de-
pair to look for drink. On his way
home he met a man returning home
from work, and told him his plight

the reply.
The reporter climbed the stoop and
raped once, twice, thrice, quite gen.
thy with the stone against the brown
stone front wall. The effect was sur
prising-even startling. Windows in
three or four houses on either side flew
UP and as many heads were stuck out
of windows inauiring in perturbed &C
cents what happened. A very sleepy
maid servant looked out of the exile's
home '-Oh. it's you, Mr.. Arthur? 1

its meeting last Monday morning. The

FRASER STILL RISING.
Farms Submerged and Live Stock
Destroyed.

Destroyed.
Vancouver, B. c., May 31.-The
Fraser river is still rising and the in
dications are that the food will be even
more disastrous than the great flood of
1882
The river has already risen within
eight inches of the high water mark of
that great inundation. Though the
whole valley is under water, the Fraser
having spread out into vast lake, the
tide is crawling up at the rate of an
inch every three hours. At West
minister the river wharves are sub
merged. Many cabins along the water
front have fioated off on the tide and
many poor families have lost all their
belongings.
Points further up the river report
that the danger is increasing At Me
omen island forty-four fine farms are
entirely under water. Much live stock
has persisted, but eight human lives are
known to have been lost. No further
fatalities were reported yesterday.
1t is a week yesterday since the
Canadian Pacific has had a train
through to the coast. Annacis Island,
totally submerged. Many fine farms
formerly dotted the island. The
ranchers were rescued by steamboats,,
but all their stock has gone down the
river. All the river steamers have
been commissioned by the government
in the service of rescuing the imperial
ranchers. In the vicinity of Ruby the
greatest danger is apparent and several
steamers have been dispatched to that
district. The marks of 1880 flood have
already been passed at many points.
The Fraser river has risen three
inches at Westminster during the past
twenty-four hours and is still rising
At North Bend the water is a foot
above the mark of the great floods of
1882. AS the warm weather continues
and there is still large amount of
snow in the mountains, the river may
be expected to rise much higher
Steamers are still busily engaged in
rescuing settlers and cattle.
An idea of the depth of the water
may be gathered from the fact that a
steamer drawing six feet passed over
several islands in the centre of the
channel of the river
Last night the water rose fourteen
inches over the Central Pacific railroad
track near Mission, and no trains were
dispatched today. No mail has been
received here for eight days
A fund has been started here to as
sist settlers who have lost all by the
floods.
It is no uncommon sight now to see
houses and barns floating down the
river Reports of the drowning of
some Indians have been received, but
cannot be verified.

PORTLAND NOW A LAKE.
Miles of the Union Pacific Track
Washed Out.


Washed Out.
Portland, Ore, May 31.-No trains
have arrived from the east over the
Union Pacific since last Saturday. The
company has put on boats at Umatilla,
but is experiencing great difficulty in
making portages at The Dalles and
Cascade.
Telegraph communication along the
Columbia is cut off to Una tilla, and
the only means of reaching eastern
Oregon and Washington is by cir
cuitous route. Miles of the Union
Pacific track along the Columbia is
washed out and it will probably bs
more than week before another train
reaches this city over that route.
The Northern Pacific manages to
keep passengers and mails moving by
pressing into service the large transfer
boat used at Kalama.
The Southern Pacific has experienced
only slight delays. The northern part
of the city, back as far as Ninth street,
is a vast lake, and the wholesale bust
ness of the city is entirely suspended.
The absence of any current in the
Willamette river makes navigation by
boats very easy and hundreds of small
boats are being used along Front,
First and Second streets from Alder
street TO the nOrCn emu.
At p. M, the river was at stand
still.
A telephone message from the as
sistant government engineer at the
Cascade Locks states that the, bulk
head is leaking, but he does not think
that it will go out, and that serio:as
damage can be obriated. The damage
to the Union Pacific track between
Portland and Umatilla will. it is
thought reach into the hundreds of
thousands.
Great damage has been done to farm
ers living along the Columbia river, in
the loss of stock and crops. Salmon
Gamers here also met with heavy loss.
In this city, but little damage has thus
far resulted. Owing TO the slow and
gradual rising of the water, merchants
had ample time to get their goods out
Of the way.
The latest intelligence from the upper
Columbia region, was that the river at
Umatilla and Riparia was stationary.
1t is generally believed that the water
in this city has about reached it's ex-
IRENE height. Its subsistence will BE-
very slow owing to the large area over
which the water is spread.
The Western Union tonight lost all
wires to the north and Seattle and
Tacoma are virtually cut off as far as
cerned.
Twenty miles of poles along the
Columbia are covered by water and it
will probably be a week before they
can be repaired.
The Willamette river at this point
now stands at twenty-nine feet above
low water mark. Advices from the
upper Columbia region the United
States weather bureau are to the effect
that water is at a stand still.
The Union Pacific officials expect to
establish a river service today between
Portland and Umatilla.
On the Northern Pacific, the transfer
boat Tacoma is making regular trips,
carrying trains from this city to nelso
Very little business is being transact
ed in this city.
The Western Union Telegraph COM
pany has established a boat service be-
tween its main Office, which is sur
rounded by water, and the delivery and
receiving office, which has been moved
to higher ground.

HALF porAroEs FoR SEED.

, BY the experiments conducted at the
Michigan experiment station during 1895,
and corroborated by twelve other stations,
it was shown that potato growers do not
plant enough seed. The following conclu-
sions were reached:
1. That an increase in seed within ordin-
airy limits produces q marked increase
both in total yield and marketable yield.
3 That an increase in seed from one
eye UP to q half potato produces an in
crease in the net value of the crop. But
the increased yield from the whole potato
over tie half potato is not sufficient TO
cover the cost OF the greater amount of
seed.
n A comparison of the half potato with
K5le two eyes shows:
'l That for total yield large or srnalD
of 95 experiments, rs are in favor of the
half potato and 10 in favor of the two
eyes.
