as wheat lumber. flour, etc, on account

not so favorable to the state OF Washing
ton. The increase of wheat shipments in
two years was 1.0oo.00o bushels. Lumber
shipments in the same period decreased
2.5c0000 feet. Flour exports from 10000
barrels in 1897. ran up $4,000 barrels In
1894. The receipts of the government in
1892 Were sls0.0o0, and this year they went
up to $3.50, 200, an increase OF $4,000 in reve-
nues.
The establishment OF line of steam
ships to the Orient has built up a trade
from nothing. comparatively speaking, in
1892. to upwards of Sc, o00. 600 year, a vast
proportion OF which goes through the dis
trict in transit 10 Eastern points. All
of this. however. is at loss and at the
expense of the Canadian Pacific line and
the steamships terminating at San Fran
cisco. In return. vessels go out from
Puget sound loaded down with wheat,
-four and cotton goods destined for China,
Japan and Honykong. What is more sur
prising is the fact that the volume of ex-
ports of the Orient shows healthy
monthly increase.

LEATHER is so scanty and high
of price just now in France that the
Minister of War is greatly perplexed
over the question of how: to secure
the necessary foot wear for the great
number of men which that nation
keeps continually in readiness for
its defense. Not only this, but a
sufficient supply of leather for the
saddles, harness and other furnish
ings of the cavalry and artillery is
lacking. When the Government in
vited bids recently for the equipment
of the troops with shoes and horse
furniture, the only contractors who
dared make an offer demanded so
high figure that their propositions
were rejected, and those who have
yet contracts to fill for these ar
ticles are seeking every means pos
Slble TO break them, tearing that
ruin will be the result if they are
compelled to carry out their agree
ments. Three of the principal
reasons for this dearth of leather
are: The recent war between China
and Japan; the many revolutions
and bloody conflicts in the South
American republics, and the scarcity
of fodder and pasturage owing to
the unfavorable weather of last
year and the year before in the
countries Of the world from which
the principal supply of hides come.

IT HAS become possible to dis
cover an earthquake and to mark
its force at a distance of over seven
thousand miles. This seems to
smack of magic, but it is neverthe-
less a scientific fact. Some time
ago it was stated as simple truth
that the earthquake in Algeria was
made known to the scientists i'll
Paris itself while it was actually
taking place, by the undulations
of certain delicate instruments over
a strip of paper. That the move
ments of the earth could thus
transmit themselves almost instant
aneously, registering, as it were,
across the Mediterranean and near
ly the whole of France more quick
ly than a telegraph message could
have been sent, was thought hard
ly plausible. But it can well be
believed now, in view of a recent
more marvellous demonstration o.
the self-registering Of an earth.

in an hour from the time it COM

RAM BIER

Every part OF Rambler Bicycle is
manufactured by Gormully & Jeffrey at
heir factory, Chicago, and are not
bought from diifcre, makers all over
the country who make Bicycle parts by
the thousands and sell them by the ton.
Intending purchasers VIII do well to
think over this and beware OF the freak
bicycle with one makers tires and an
other makers saddle and another's hand
die bars and pedals, etc, and brand it as
low grade in spite Of the fact that the
dealer is asking high grade price for it.
Before purchasing wheel consult the
experienced riders OF the different makes
OF wheels in town and get their opinion,
they are the ones that know thing or
two about wheels.
Rambler Bicycles are all one quality
and all one price and the price is very
little more than they are asking for
second grade wheels in town.
And when you take into consideration
that you can have your Rambler tires
fitted with Puncture Proof Armor before
leaving the shop without extra cost ii
means big saving in time, labor and
money.
Each Rambler Bicycle has a guarantee
that means just what it says and we are
here to back IL up.

A book of Mark Twain's that
is seldom mentioned is The
Golden Age" 1t was written
in collaboration with Charles
Dudley Warner and is by
many regarded as one of the
very best works of the Ian
guage. The play of "Col. Sci
lers" in which the actor John L.
Raymond made such a great
success, was taken from THE
Golden Age" Perhaps the
public has thought there was
little in the book besides Col. !
Sellers. This is great mis-
take. Col. Sellers is merely
one of a score of characters.
The real feature is its story of
Washington life. Half of the
best sketches on lobbying and
the workings of the depart
ments of the government Of
the United States are cribbed
from "The Golden Age"
Mark Twain is a living exam
plar of the truism that few of
the good writer's have any
business ability. He became
a partner in a big publishing
house and all hands made
money off his work. The COM
pany brought out the Grant
memoirs and thought it had a
diamond field with a free mill
ing gold quartz quarry on the
side. The memoirs of Sherman
and Sheridan did not take at
all and the company failed. In
the general wreck the claims
were lodged against Mark
Twain and he was shorn like a
sheep by machinery. The per
manent financial successes of
life are not a great many.
This is probably because so
many of them fail to figure
that there is really such thing
as money market.
