ncnd Sea- of ana Nnrthwcat.

Medical lake, so called on account
OF the remedial virtues Of its waters,
situated on the great Columbian
plateau, In southern Washington, at
an altitude Of twenty-thrcc hundred
feet above the level Of the Pacific, is
the Dead sea OF America. IL Is
about n mile long and from a
half 20 thrce-fourths Of a mile
IN width, and with n maximum
depth Of about sixty feet. The com
position Of the waters Of this Alpine
lake Is almost identical with that Of
the Dead sea OF Palestine, and, like its
oriental counterpart, no plant has yet
been found growing in or near its
edges. IL is nll but devoid Of animal
life, species Of large boat bug n
queer little tcrrapin, and the famous
''wallSing fish" being its only inhabit-
ants. This walking fish Is an oddity
really deserving Of a special mote. "
II Is from eight 20 nine inches long
and has a flnny membrane extending
from end to end, even around both the
upper and lower surfaces Of the tail. IL
Is provided with four legs, those be-
fore having four toes, the hinder five

HOW THEY WE'RE PUNISHED.
a Mussuirnan's Method OF DisclpIning
Ills Family.


His Family.
DIR. Jcssuf Bloch, native of Buda-
pest, lodged upon the ground floor Of a
house on BulaS street, where he had
nm extensive practice among the Turk
ish population. The fiat above was oc-
cupied by hey and his harcm, COM
posed OF three or four women, who, MS
Is the custom, were jcalously secluded
from the gaze Of all male creatures.
During the night of the frat earth
uualSc, says French paper, DIR. Bloch
lay on his couch sleeping the sleep Of
the Just, and all unconscious Of inn
pending danger, when suddenly the
catastrophe came. The earth trcmbled,
houses rocked, cracked and topplod
over, and among the rest the house on
Bulak street, which collapsed like n
house OF cnrds. Tho poor doctor
started up from his sleep when hc saw,
b. his horror. the ceiling burst asunder
md amid shower of miscellaneous
articles, couple OF ladies dropped
down upon him In the attire worn by
the harcm.
The doctor and the women escaped
into the open air, and, in consideration
bf DIR. Dloch's innocence, the stern
Mussulman refraincd from taking
bengeancc on the Giaour. The two
women, ON being questioned by the
brand multi, were, however, drowned
In the Bosphorus-i. C., not actually
drowned, only symbolicnlly, 50 TO
hpcalS, for they were sewn up I'm sacks
and immersed In the water, and imme-
hlately drawn out again, their expia-
hon accomplished.

Near the little village OF San Jose,
Peru, on the shores OF tho great lake
Of Titicaca, the most lofty lake In the
whole known world, are three pillars
Of stone OF unequal height ON one OF
these huge blocks the rude features Of
a human being have been cut, and the
other two are covered with designs OF
various kinds-all believed 60 have
some mysterious reference 20 sun wor-
ship. Who the cngravcr Of these
monoliths was, or at what age OF the
world tho engraving was done, Il not
known, but IL Is highly probable that
II was done long before the Americas
had ever been seen by white mon. The
stones arc so large as % preclude the
idea OF their having been erected by
human beings, the best explanation
being that they were deposited by
glaciers whore they stand. That the
natives have some legend 60 this effect
Is proved by the fact that they call
them wandering stones"

HARVESTING BLUE FL Ao.
How the. Cat-Tan Ia Gathered In East
ern Greeks.

How the, Cat-TatI Ia Gathered In East
srn Greeks.
Everybody knows what the cat-tail
Is. A few years ago city people tied
cat-tails In lunches with gnudy rib
bons and used them 10 decorate their
dining-rooms and parlors, says the New
York Sun. When that fad prevailed
the flag gathcrcrs made n good deal
more money than they do to-day.
The cat-tail Is the blossom of the
blue flag and grows at the top Of tall,
slender stalk that rises from the midst
OF lot of ribbon-lilSe leaves For
miles Cohansey creek Is choked with
the blue flag. There are acres upon
acres Of il, and it furnishes living 10
n good many people, who do but little
each year aside from gathering its
blossom in the autumn.
The blossoms gathered are allowed
70 lie on the sand two or three days
under the sun SO as 20 render them per
fcctly dry Twice day they are
turned over. II IL Is damp, cloudy or
rainy weather they are carefully COW
cred with canvas. When the blossoms
are dry they arc stripped from the
stalk by children and spread I'm shall
low tins, where they are allowed Co lie
for two or three days more under the
sun, being turned or shaken up half
dozen times n day When they are
completely dried they arc packed in
gunny sacks and shipped 10 the city.
The dried blossom Is very light and
fluffy and Is used in the manufacture
OF cheap pillows and mattresses II
sells for twenty-five cents pound and
some men make twenty dollars a day
gathering IL.

As to Game Protection.

The editor of the Honesdale Herald.
ex-Ju1ge Ham, does not favor the
proposition to prohibit the shooting or
sale of grouse until 1905. He asks, not
without some Justification:
What are the older sportsmen to do dur
Ing these long ten years? They may hang
their guns upon the familiar stag horns
until they become rusted and spoiled but
they Will be of no use until they are ten
years older. Then when their eyeslght
has grown dim and their limbs are feeble.
they may shoulder their double barrels
and pursue, If they can. the great hocks
of pheasants that this bill IL intended TO
create. But the trouble of 1t all is, that
by the passage of the bin its object Will
not be accomplished The game glrds will
| nave enemies tenfold more deadly and nu-
merous than the shot gun. The foxes,
hawks, poecats, weaSels owls and Jack
Frost, destroy the bulk of the game, and
we presume that even Pennsylvania law
would have no effect upon them. unless
indeed, every violation of 1t could be made
capital offense. We like to get out into
woods ourselves occasionally and have u
little sport with these willy birds which
are usually quite able to care for them
selves against ordinary gunners, and we
have no liking TO have either our gun or
ourself put upon the shelf for the re-
mainder of our days. Besides. singular
as 1t may seem, these birds are most
| plenty where the hunters are most numer-
