Exporting FlOur.

There is scarcely day but that Ia
coma sends small lots of flour out of
the country, and the trade is gradu-
ally growing and assuming proportions
that Justify the prediction that the de-
mand will soon exceed the supply.
During this month thus far there has
been shipped to Victoria alone 2O46
barrels Of flour, valued at $5,162.55.
Beside this several south-bound coast
ers have carried the same commodity,
consigned to South and Central ports.
There is new lying at the steamship
dock 291 bales OF flour from Spokane.
consigned to a firm. in Acapulco.
Each bale contains three sacks, or $50
pounds, making the total shipment
43 $50 p0unds.-Tacoma News.

HORSES FASCINATED BY FIRE.
The Animals Seized with a Strange Mad
ness When in Peril

ness When In Peril.
The panic that is inspired in the
minds OF horses by phenomenon so
strange as lire can be understood only
by those who have witnessed fire in a
large stable where numbers of horses
are kept, says the St. Louis Globe Dem
ocrat. The scene that ensues is one of
the most frightful that can be conceived.
The horses are rescued from the burn
ing building with the utmost difficulty
and only with the most serious peril to
the lives and limbs of the rescuers.
The animals go mad with fright, rear,
kick and dash from side to side so wild.
~ as to make an attempt at rescue as
pcrllous as an adventure on hostile
battery. When rescued they will often
break away from those who hold them
a2d charge back at full speed into the
burning building, there to perish in the
danes. They resist every attempt to
AXE them out. They have been known
% tear their rescuers with their teeth,
10 throw them to the ground and tram
SIC on them, to kick out their brains.
As the fury Of the flames increases so
ioe3 the panic Of the unfortunate ami
nais. They scream out in their agony
Rs tbc fire reaches their bodies, vet will
hey not for all that seek safety in the
pen air. They are crazed with fear,
I'd yet remain to be burned to death
r'iNn ten seconds run would carry
.;e22l to liberty. But they never make
fa run, and, as rule, are burned
= in their stalls, where alone they
10 fancy they can find security.
sc is but one way to get them out
lat is to blind them with some
e'litnt cover, such as coat or a
s;1ey,t, and thus, unable to see the
tge;s about them, trembling in
.erJ iilab, apparently ready to fall to
the earth with fear, they may be led
out. But the cover must not be too
quickly removed from their eyes; in
fact, it should not be taken off until
the animals are out of sight of the
burning building, otherwise they will
break away from the persons leading
them and, in spite of the stoutest eff
forts at restraint, will dash back to per-
= in the flames.

Mail in the NAVY.

one OF the difficulties in the ward

nave newspapers and periodicals fol-
low the ship promptly from place to
place Such things are subscribed for
with the understanding that the adj
dress shall be changed in accordance
with schedule furnished to the pub
fishers, but it sometimes happens that
the itinerary is changed, and the whole
scheme falls into confusion. Then the

Seattle, Olympia Railway Company.

Edmund G. Burlington, president
and manager of the Seattle. Vaughn
Olympia Railway & Navigation COM
pany in an interview announced that
his company was getting ready to give
the people of this state a new short
line between Seattle and Olympia, and
in order to do so will build thirteen
miles OF road and purchase two steel
hull steamers from Cramp Bros, of
Philadelphia. Eastern capital is in
terested in the project and it is ex-
pected that by January l, 1896, the
new line will be in operation.
A good many thousand dollars will
be invested in the project according
to Mr.. Burlington and it will cost, he
says, in the neighborhood of 100000
to build the railroad alone. Then the
two steamers will cost an enormous
sum. Jim Hill, Mr.. Burlington SAYS,
is not back Of the scheme, all rumOrs
to the CONTRARY Notwithstanding.
The company figures on cutting down
the time between Seattle and Olympia
to two hours and fifty minutes and
Mr.. Burlington claims that, if it is
necessary, the trip will he made in less
time than that. Mr.. Burlington said
"ThOse who are interested in our COM
pany have been figuring on this enter
prise for about three years, but the
hard times prevented US from even
attempting to get Eastern capital to
take an interest in it, that is, so far as
investing any amount of money was
concerned. The hard times now are
about over and Eastern people of
wealth have consented to go into the
enterprise.
"Onr plans may appear to be rather
elaborate, but nevertheless they will be
carried through successfully. We will
purchase two steamers, the finest to be
found anywhere. They will likely
come from Cramp Brothers, but if
we can do as we'll in California, We do
not care tn leave the coast, There
will be about thirteen miles Of rail
road built from Vaughn to Sidney or
Colby. There is very light grade
between the towns named and we can
build the read for from $4,000 to $25OO
a mile. We will so arrange the sched-
ule that the two boats will make con-
nectiOns with the railroads. OF course
there will have to be transfer of
passengers, freight and express, but
1t will not cost the dear people any
more. All they will have to do is to
step from the cars into the boat and
vice versa.
"Those ia the East interested i the
enterprise insist that we shall have
the roadbed IN condition and the ties
of the road down before they invest
their money. We have looked thor
oughly into the matter and find that
we will have to invest about $4,000
IN order to meet the demands Of
those who are backing the project.
The people along the proposed rail
road agree to do everything they can
to help us and we have been promised
financial aid from all the large cities
of the Sound, including Seattle.

THE KEY TO SUCCESS.
It Pays to Put Things on the Market i,
 Prime Condition,

Tfine Conditiont
 The farmer who is confented with average crops sold in the average con- dition must expect only average prices. He who produces anything and puts it on the market in prime condition is the one who is going to make sales first and get top prices. The average man comes along later No matter what you have to sell, put it in the best possible condition for market and see to it that you can adopt the same motto that we once saw in barrel of ap- ples in the east. When the head was taken out of that barrel there was ex- posed printed slip which said: "This package was produced and packed by John Smith, who guarantees that when you see the top you see the whole" The commission man told us that he never had any trouble with anything that man sent in, for his rep utation had been made He not only packed his fruit and vegetables in the best manner, but sorted the sizes, and when the package was opened the buyer knew just what to expect from top to bottom. We know a farmer who takes his grain to market and dumps it wherever the buyer tells him to, and is then asked how many bush els he had. His grain is never looked at nor weighed by the man who has weighed it for years; if it is not in good condition he insists on inspection but if he knows it is all right he un- loads and gets his pay. A reputation of that kind is worth more than a good farm, for it brings greater return. Honesty is not only the best policy, but 1t is absolutely necessary to final suc- cess. Carelessness is the costliest habit farmer can fall into, and trick cry, while it may seem to succeed for a time, must cost more than it comes to in the eend.-Connecticut Farmer.

 He sent. her copy of each of the local papers with one item clipped out, and when she wrote to find out what it was he had clipped from the papers he re- fused to tell her. The scheme worked admirably. In less than a week she was home to find out what it was that had been going on that her hus- band did not want her to know about.
