cal wreck when sent to the peniten-
tiary at Walla Walla Although but
10. he looked 80 and weighed but 115.
The convict was denied the use of
the drug and when he returned from
Spokane he was as fine a specimen Of
physical manhood as one ever saw,
says the Walla Walla Union. He
weighed 16o pounds, was as straight
as an arrow. and his cheeks showed
the glow of perfect health. He de-
clared he had no more desire for the
drug than if he had never exper-
fenced it's use. Drs. Olmsted and
Potter were delighted and the police,
not one of whom was able to recog-
nize the man whom they had arrested
fifty times for petty thefts committed
for the purpose of procuring money
with which to buy the drug, gave him
an ovation. so happy were they to see
fellow creature dragged from the
lowest depths of depreciation and
completely restored to manhood His
case was accepted as positive proof
that the worst cases of the drug habit
can be cured. and was also regarded
as good evidence that the best way to
effect permanent cure is to confine
the patient where he cannot get the
drug, and deprive him of it at the
start. as is done in the penitentiary.
After this victory over the NOR
phfne habit, Trantwein went 20 Wal

Governor McGraw. 1t was supposed
he would henceforth live a useful life,
but he committed suicide last Tues

FACTORY BUILDINGS.

One of the most perplexing problems
that the mechanical engineer or the SUI
perintendent of a manufacturing estab-
lishment encounters is the dovetailng
Of new buildings upon old ones so as to
work in harmony with them and at the
same time introduce such Improvements
as may be necessary. Frequently half
dozen buildings are erected on a large
plot of ground, each building facing in
way that seems most convenient at
the time and without any particular ref
erence to the others. When the estab-
lishment has grown so that the available
ground area must be nearly covered over
with buildings and each one must, either
by shafting or betting, be connected
with its neighbor or with some central
source of power, then the trouble aris-
ing from lack of harmony in the origin
al structures makes itself felt in most
aggravating manner. 1t seems some
times as though trouble had been ere
ated on purpose by those who first erected
the shops, so aggravating and uncom-
promising do the buildings appear The
moral therefore is that in putting up
shop it is well to think a long way ahead
and to consider at least some of the
most probable contingencies of the flu
ture.-Ca SSief'S Magazine.

1t is well known that toward the lat

Among the regulations of the United
States navy, is one which says that no
Intoxicating liquor Of any kind shall be
allowed on board ship. This, of course,
is absolute prohibition, but another reg
ulation says, only beer and light wines
shall be allowed on board and this
might be called an excise law.
These opposing regulations are carried
out, as all regulations are, on board
United States ships, with d patriotic en-
deavor to follow the intention Of the
department regulations both in letter and
spirit. The prohibition regulation is ap-
piled most vigorously TO the forward
part Of the ship, and it becomes n nat

poor devil who had some sense IF per-

After the war the naval department
took up the drinking business. The
views Of the commanding officers OF all

to submit the question to the crews, The

It must not be supposed from these
