Natural History-The Tramp.

The tramp, (Trampus vulgaris
Americans Horno) belongs to the nat
ural order Vertebra Biped. He is the
lowest and most iudolent of all the
genus. He is uniformly of dark mud
colored complexion. He is largely a
creature of habit and is like the vino.
thou canst smell him, but canst not
tell from whence he cometh or whittier
he goeth. He roameth oyer the coun-
try, seeking what he may devonr, beg
or steal. He has a great aversion for
labor and travels hundreds of miles t.
avoid it. His raiment usually has a
careworn look and is sometimes in
ha0ited by colonies which belong to
another genus. He is a native chiefly
OF the temperate zone extending
from Greenland to Cape Horn. He
feeds on fruit, fish, vegetables and
variety of other things when he car
get them. In some parts of the coun
try he is found at all seasons of fine
year but he deserts his most Northern
haunts IN severe weather migrating
Southwark. In his habits the tram,
is both diurnal and nocturnal though
not much of either, referring rest. Of
which he can never get enough. H.

The Hair After Death.

The secrets of the grave sometimes
come to light. revealing things that
those outside the circle of the under
takers shop never dream Of The fol-
lowing incident occurred at Olympia
Many years ago there lived man
who was well known on Puget Sound,
and who made Olympia his home.
He had beard that was his pride.
1t grew straight down from his chin,
glossy and thick. Consumption
caused his death, and he was buried
in the old cemetery at Olympia.
Twenty years passed, and the re-
mains were exhumed by Rabbeson &
Harmed. The casket fell to pieces,
when it was discovered that the bearc
which had been the dead mans pride
in life had become his monument in
death.
The beard had grown straight down
the coffin, following the outline Of
the body to the toes, where it turn, d
sharp angle, filled the end of the
coffin with hair, and then followed the
bottom Of the coffin back nearly to
the hips.
Both Rev. John f. Damon and
E. R. Butterworth vouch for the truth
of this story.-P.-I.
The Chinook jargon in combina-
ton of Indian, French and English.
1t was invented by an employee of the
Hudson Bay Company and was taught
by the officers of that company to the
Indians for convenience in trading
with them. 1t is similar in character
to pigeon English" being made OF
native and foreign words, grossly cor
rupted and often fancilully used.

The lieu lax introduced IN the legis
lature by Representative Heath, OF
Chehalis county, is very good thing
for the corporations, but mighty
poor thing for the owners of timber
lands and the men of limited capital
who engage in logging: BY the pro-
visions of this proposed law the owner
of timber land must refuse to sell his
stumpage except for cash, or run the
risk of dishonest or incapable loggers.
Under the present law he has a lien
upon the logs, secondary only to that
of the laborer, the same as any other
materialman has in the construction
of building, for instance, and it is the
duty of the mill-owner to see that the
stumpage is paid for before pa, ing the
logger, the same as builder must see
that the material used is paid for be-
fore paying the contractor.
The placing of the stumpage on a
cash basis is not so much of a blessing
as at first sight would appear. The
first effect is to shut out the small log
ger. That just about shuts out COM
petition, leaving the logging business
in the hands of few large operators
and it is plain to he seen what the
effect would be on the price o. STUN
page. The timber land owner could
take the pittance that MIGHT be offer
ed, or let his timber stand-or burn il.
To the man of limited capital, who
prefers to engage in the logging bust
ness for himself on small scale, this
bill means extinction. Not many
would be able to pay cash for his camp
running, and then sell to the big nils
on ninety days time. He would have
to 60 cut of business, and the only
competition which now enables the
timber land owner to get fair price
for his stumpage, would be cut off.
The stumpage of this state is al
ready held largely by big corporations
and syndicates of mill owners, who
very nearly have things their own way
as it is, and who, with this bill law,
could dictate the price of stumpage
OF every tree in the state. The tend
ency Of legislation is toward monopol,
and Capitalization, and the cutting Of
of the individual, and We hope our leg
islature will guard against such by
smothering any effort to cut out our
small loggers.-Aberdeen Herald.
