If, says the Puget Sound Lumberman,
the lumbermen of this Coast will give
Henry Bucey of Tacoma, a little fnan-
cial help and some moral support, he
will surprise them with an exhibit of
forest resources at the Interstate fair
this fall. Lumbermen can rest assured
that there will be no pitfalls in this
scheme, and they will be proud Of what
Is exhibited. 1t should be remembered
that this is not local enterprise, and
this whole northwest is interested In its
success. While it will not be a Column
bian exposition in size, neither will 1t be
in wasteful extravaganza. This reminds
us of Dickens Miss Nipper." "Hif /
haint a hangel neither ham l hogre,
with bloodshot heyes,' 1t seems to us
that Tacoma needs soup kitchens worse
Just now than she does fake fairs.

the most valuable and popular article

their sham to be equal. or as good. or

may depend upon 1t that "So-and-So'sa
article is the best of the kind. The
sham proves the genuine merit of the

better Illustrated than by the limitations
of Allcock's Porous Plasters.
Allcoek's Porous Plaster Is the stand

mitators in their cry that theirs is
as good as Allcock's" are only en-
phasizing this fact and admitting "AD-

Nothing has been made To do more
constant service, by means Of false rep

In circulation a big volume Of fiat pa

countries whose currency is on a sound
err basis than that Of France. There is
no free coinage there. silver having
been excluded from the mints for many
year. The entire paper money in cir
culation amounts to a little less than
500, 100000, and this is issued by the
Bank of France. AS a reserve against
this paper, the bank holds almost $780,

Speed of Electricity.

The fact is generally known that, ac-
cording to the experiments of the late
Professor Heinrich Hertz at Bonn, the
velocity with which electricity is prop
agated IL nearly identical with the ve-
locity of light. The identity may be per-
feet but experiments have rs yet failed
to prove ii So
In recent communication TO the
French Academy of Sciences, M. Mas.
cart has shown that the mean velocity
of electricity, as deduced from expert
nents, is lsS, lS5 miles per second.
This is about per cent greater than
tho velocity OF light, which is 1SG. 800
miles per second.
IL is believed that If light and cleo
tTjoity do move with exactly the samo
speed the velocity ascribod to light more
closely represents that speed than the
velocity ascribod to electricity, because
/, tho experiments are most satisfactory
and probably moro accurate in tho case
Of light. --Youth's Companion.

The matter is in the nature OF

COLLEGE ATHLETICS AGAIN.

About once in so often, or oftener,
there is an outbreak all along the news
paper line upon the subject OF college
athletics.
There is one now on. Some New
York papers are printing each others
wise saws about the decay OF real
culture aud the enlargement of the
sinews of the college athlete.
Now, there may be too much devo-
ton to athletics by college students. 1t
is not to be denied that even that dan
gerous thing, little learning, is better
to have than broken leg or split head.
There is nowhere any disposition to set
athletic training against the legitimate
work of the colleges. Yet there ought
to be no attempt to discourage the
athletic spirit that has developed in
this country to such wonderful extent
during the past few years.
If there were to be selected one special
requisite of ideal humanity that Ameri-
cans needed few years ago, of the
most vital consequence TO us as an
American people, not much error could
have crept into the judgment if it had
been sail that the development of their
bodies was that vital requisite.
More than any other people on earth
we need to consider our physical well
fare. We are made up of such
differing elements, drawn from all
parts of the world and from
all conditions of people, that
the assimilating of the composite to this
new and raw climate is a tax upon ma
ture the magnitude of which we are apt
to underrate, if not altogether ignore.
The men and women of the last Of the
century in America are better men and
women, physically, than any who ever
trod this soil The recent making of
athletics fashionable has donsvery much
to bring this about, and college athletics
have done much to popularize physical
culture.
While it is not well to subordinate the
w ihS liiuoSASH, ltb az OaA
scarcely be maintained that the degree
of devotion to the physical is now too
pronounced, especially when the need Of
our people of more solidity of physical
being is considered.
Brutality ought not to be counten-
anced, nor such devotion to athletics
as makes satisfactory mental devel-
opment impossible. But THE
NEWS believes 50 thoroughly
in the benefcent effect of the
present popularity Of physical culture,
and is so thoroughly in sympathy with
it on other than grounds merely recog-
nizing the pleasure attending it, that
it cannot but regard the outcry
against it as based upon both
imperfect knowledge of its present in
fuence and imperfect apprehension of
the contingent and direct benefits we, as
nation, are deriving from it.

THE POULTRY SHOW.

The winter show of the Rhode Island
Poultry Association has gained national
reputation through its unusual exhibit
OF turkeys, dressed poultry and
other instructive features, and 1t
Is expected that the next ex-
hibition will be more largely attended
than any ever held in this State. On
Grange Day, Wednesday, Dec. IL, there
will be reunion of Grange delegates
from all over the State, eastern Connecti-
cut and southeastern Massachusetts,, and
IL is expected that the II. /. State Grange
will attend in body.
The Governor, State officials, members
OF the Legislature and Mayors OF cities
will be invited to attend on Thursdsy
afternoon, Dec. 10.
The society also holds poultry institute
with the State Board of Agriculture on
these two important days OF the show in
Blackstone Hall, at 10a. M. to which the
the general public are invited free. On
these days railroad excursion tickets are
sold from numerous points.
These exhibitions have been In the past
OF much benefit to the poultry industry,
and may be made OF greater value each
season, and the pride OF every public
spirited citizen.
AT the show this season fine exhibit Of
different varieties OF pheasants will he the
additional special attraction. The practi-
cal department will be more ex-
tensive than ever. The exhibition
will merit the cordial support OF the pub
lie. There will be no dogs on exhibit
tion. The new Music Hall is better
adapted for holding the show than the old
one. There will be wide aisles, we'll swept
floors and ne smoking will be allowed In
tho hall

quill is gentle and sweet. 1t is honcyed,
yet 1t cavorts as the French Pegasus Is
wont TO do. 1t is not known when he
will stop writing. therefore it cannot be
said that he will not yet say some true
thing about us that we had not thought
of. Stranger things have happened.
There came WILLIAM I. STEAD. He
went to Chicago. and upon Chicago he
| lavished his tongue and opened four
hole hydrant of ink. Having Chicago
with us, and knowing several things
about Chicago, we feel for STEAD, and
admire the wisdom and forethought
that took him again to England.
There came CONAN DOYLE, and he has
examined our internal arrangements,
weighed our brain and laid his finger
upon our pulse. His red lamp is lighted.
He means TO write about u.s. He is de-
termined TO talk about us. He consid-
erately killed SHERLOCK HOLMES that
he might fasten upon US the full power
of his ferreting faculties. There is
nothing we can do but wait, and quail.
There came JOHN BURNS, all the way
from his seat in the London County
Council. He comes in behalf of labor.
and both his keen eyes are peeled. He
has been with us but a few days,
but he has already been several times
astonished. He has gone to Chicago with
his New York surprise fresh upon
him. lie will return to New York, and
the Lexow committee, with superim-
posed Chicago shocks. What will
eventuate from Mr.. JOHN BURNS we
cannot yet even surmise; we can only
wait and tremble more.
There came one DAVID CHRISTIE MUIR
RAY. Who's he, by the way? Whoever
he is, he has prepared series of ten
articles on his impressions of the coun-
try, its PEOPLE and institutions"
and the Sunday papers have
conspired with MURRAY to place these
articles before us. MURRAY must
be an industrious chap, or else he must
have brought his ten articles ready
written with him, from whatever fence
corner Of the old sod he came. Or it
may be that he fell down when he left
the steamer few days ago, and received
all ten impressions at once.
There came Salvation BOOTH to stir
about in our submerged TENTH" But
BooTH we love, as yet. He has not
threatened us with either the book
bomb or the Sunday syndicate fusilade
lie means to do Us good. He breaches
TO those of us who viii listen, and he
points the way.
They comel They come They come
armed with pens and goaded on by lee
ture bureaus. These interrogative for

about us, while we keep passing silver
dollars out for their books, and to hear
them talk, as well as to impress it upon
them through it all that it is "In God
We Trust"
