1t Is said that Mr.. Cleveland. is very
reluctant to leave to the FHty-fourfh
congress the duty Of framing a currency
bin, and is urging this reluctance as an
argument to bring about some sort of
compromise measure before the session
closes. He Is reported recently to have
said that while thus far he has con-
suited only with those who are of hts
own opinion, henceforth he win discuss
the subject with those who disagree with
him. While there Is no telling what the
result might have been had Mr.. Cieve-
land started out on this line two years
ago, II Is very apparent that his reforma-
tion comes too late to be OF any practical
benefit so far as th~ present congress is
concerned. If, however, he will adhere
to 1t during the remainder of his term
the country will doubtless be benefited.

ware OF Fruit skins.

With regard to the eating of fruit
an important caution must be given
Fruit skins carry germs. and are no
more intended for human sustenance
than potato skins, melon rinds or pea
pods. The bloom of the peach is a
luxuriant growth of microbes; that oI
grape only less SO; and when these
skins are taken into the stomach they
find most favorable conditions for
their lively and rapid development
which causes the decay of the fruit
before it is possible to digest it. This
is the reason many persons think they
cannot eat raw fruit. If they would
in all cases discard the skin they could
derive only good from the fruit itself.
Nature provides the skin for the pro-
lection of the fruit from the multitude
of germs: which are ever ready to at
tack it, as is evidenced when the skin
is bruised or broken in any way. The
microbes at once begin their work Of
decay, and the fruit is unfit for food
Children are the chief offenders in re-
spect to this rule, and should be care
fully watched and frequently eau
toned. A daintiness as to the condi-
ton of fruit should also be cultivated
to prevent its being eaten unripe, or
too old, on the verge of decay. Re-
member hat it is sweet and ripe fruit,
in prime condition only, that is re.
commended.

The Calhoun (Ga.) Times says that
when Sherman's blue-coated legions
came pouring through the Snake
Greek Gap and down the railroad from
Dalton, there was mighty hustling
around among the people of Gordon
county.
There were but few men there and
they were mostly old and intirm.
There were few boys and negroes,
a few cattle and sheep and other
things to eat.
Everybody knew it was good.by
world and turnip patch with every
thing of any value which remained
exposed to the swarming Yankees, and
the necessity of hiding and saving
everything valuable suggested to the
ready minds of the house wives many
peculiar schemes and strategies.
One lady had fine lot of well-cured
pork hanging in the smokehouse.
Well she knew how swiftly it would
disappear when once the Yankees
found it. What could she do? 1t was
out Of the question to hide it. She
must save it in some way. II the
meat should be taken away from her
she saw nothing but starvation ahead.
After much trouble though she de-
vised plan. When she learned that
the Yankees were nearing her home
she had the pork taken down and
thrown into the front yard. She then
sprinkled over each piece some soda
and damp flour. The soda soon took
on kind of corroding. greenish look.
Soon the yard was full OF blue coats.
They looked at the powdered pork
long, but suspiciously.
What's the matter with this
meat?" they asked.
al do not know" replied the lady
"The rebels were here last night and
fixed it up"
If each piece had been soaked in
strychnine the Yankees would no,
have been more careful to let it alone

RIGHT TO SHOOT BURGLARS.
Some Late Court Decisions AbOu
the Defense Of Property.

Some Late Court Decisions About
the Defense Of Property.
The right of householder to shoot
at fleeing burglar has been discussed
recently in several newspapers and
legal periodicals.
A correspondent of the London
Times says he saw burglars escaping
from his house after stealing some
plate, and he fired two shots after
them. Later in the night he met one
of the burglars and secured some OF
the stolen silver. He would then
have shot at the burglar running away
with remaining booty if he had not
left his revolver at home.
The correspondent afterwsrd doubt
ed whether he had the legal right to
use his weapon when the burglar was
running away, and he consulted two
or three judges who were his friends.
He was advised that he might shoot q
burglar fleeing in the dark to prevent
his escape from arrest.
In an English court recently a
householder WAS tried for assault on
the complaint of self-confessed bur-
glar, whom he discovered in his kitch-
en- and whom he shot in the body.
The burglar in his testimony appeared
to think that the householder took an
unfair advantage in firing from a dark
room into the kitchen, where the thief
was pursuing his occupation by candle
light. The Judge, however, directed
an acquittal.
The Pennsylvania Supreme Court
has reversed the conviction of man.
slaughter in the case OF Waynesburg
citizen who shot and killed thief as
he was leaving his stable. The bur-
glar had stolen part OF set Of har-
ness from the stable on previous
night, and had promised to deliver the
rest of it TO an intending purchaser,
and SO returned to the stable to COM
plete the theft.
The citizen called on the thief TO
stop, and fred shot in the air. The
thief turned and seized the household
er, who then again discharged the
revolver, inhicting fatal wound.
A Pennsylvania jury on some pecul-
lar theory convicted the defendant,
but the supreme court intimated that
he had right to pursue and arrest
the thief.

SHOALWATER BAY OlD-TiMERS.
The San Francisco Demand for the
Oysters of WtIIapa BAY.

The San Francisco Demand for the
Oysters Of WtIIapa bay.
w. c. Doane of San Francisco is
one of the heavy stockholders OF an
oyster company on Willapa bay. On
a recent visit to that section the South
Bend Journal asked Mr.. Doane il his
company had any intention of plant
ing eastern oysters on their grounds
in Willapa bay should they secure
title to them. "No; we have no more
intention OF doing that than you have.
There is now greater demand for the
native oyster than can be supplied
and the cultivation of the Willapa bay
oysters will prove more profitable.
There is certain class of people in
San Francisco, mostly French, which
will have no other. Should the east
ern oyster, when transplanted here,
acquire special flavor, that would be
a different matter"
Mr.. Doane used to be mail carrier in
1861 between Oysterville and Willapa,
when the mail route between Astoria
and Olympia was via the peninsula,
Willapa bay, and across the summit
by trail He is full of interesting
"reminiscences of old times here.
Al was first attracted to this Sec
tion by my uncle, a missionary, who
told ME that the best country he had
ever seen was around Shoalwater bay.
why he said, nearly every man
down there has long buckskin bag
filled with twenies.' / reached here
with hardly dollar in my pocket. In
those days oysters were worth IS per
basket in San Francisco, and the first
Shoalwater bay oysters sold in San
Francisco brought $32 for champagne
basketful. 1t was also estimated at
that time that one barrel of whisky,
properly doctored, would buy a
schooner load OF oysters from the In
dians.
"My father" said Mr.. Doane, "es-
tablished the first fish trap in the
waters of Massachusetts, and 1 guess
1 was the owner of the first fish trap
in Washington. 1t was located near
the mouth of the Snohomish river.
The Indians laughed at us when we
were putting it in and told us the sal
mon were no fools and knew enough
to keep out OF such trap, but their
eyes did stick out when the salmon
commenced 10 run. The trap was a
failure, financially, though. That was
long before there was salmon cannery
anywhere on the Sound or Columbia
river, and we could only salt the fish
down. A freshet finally carried the
trap out into the Sound, and that WAS
the end of my trap fishing"

In the event of Spain's apologizing
for the Alliance affair the question
has arisen as to what form the apology
will take. In diplomatic usage an ex-
preston OF regret is often accompanied
by an offer to salute the flag OF the
country to which an international dis
courtesy has been given. This was the
course of the United States in salut-
ing the French flag in 1855 and the
Brazilian flag in 1866.
In the former case the French flag
was saluted as a mark of apology for
an indignity against the French Con-
sui at San Francisco. Mr.. Marcy, the
then Secretary OF State, first offered to
make the apology by saluting the
flag on a French man-of-war stopping
at San Francisco. Count De Sartiges.
the French Minister at Washington,
asked in addition that when the con-
sular flag at San Francisco was re-
hoisted it should receive salute.
This was declined by Mr.. Marcy.
France was not satisfied, but after
some months the French Government
agreed to accept as sufficient satisfac-
ton an expression of regret by the
Government of the United States,
coupled with provision that "when a
French national ship or squadron
shall appear in the harbor of San
Francisco the usual authorities there,
military or naval, will salute the ma
tional flag borne by such ship or
squadron with a national salute, and
the French ship or squadron whose
flag is thus saluted will return the sa-
lutte gun for gum" The salute to the
flag was thus given, and with such
apology the incident closed.
In 1866 the United States sent a
man-of-war to Brazil for the express
purpose of an offering apology by firing
a salute to the Brazilian flag. The Uni
ted States had seized the Confederate
ship Florida at Bahia, Brazil, thus
violating the neutrality laws. Mr.
Seward, then Secretary of State, an.
nounced pur pose to make fully
apology. including the dismissal o
the United States Consul at Bahia
who advised the attack, the cour'
martial of the United States nava
commander who committed the
otfense and = salute to the Bra
ilizan flag. The last feature of the
apology was executed with much
ceremony on the very spot where
Brazilian neutrality had been in
vaded
In the Virginius case the United
States demanded salute OF our fial
as part of the apology from Spain
but the salute was afterward waived
on its appearing that the papers of the
