Seventeen Years Of January Weather.

The local weather agent. Joseph
Chilberg, has prepared data showing
the weather changes during the month
of January for II years past. They
will be interesting In anticipating
changes for the coming month.
The figures show that January's
mean temperature during that period
was 1873. The warmest January was
that of 1891, when it averaged 42.4,
while the coolest January was i'll 1888,
with an average of 32.1. The highest
temperature was 60. on January IL,
1891. and the lowest temperature dur
ing the month of January for past IL
years was above zero.
The average rainfall in this period
was 7.9 inches, and the greatest preci-
pitation was 1859 inches in 1851.
This contrasts with the January OF
1893, when only 221 inches fell, and
the greatest precipitation recorded IN
onv "a consecutive hours was z.6l on
January 25, 1888.
The prevailing wind has been from
the south, and the greatest velocity at
tanned was 35 miles on January IL
1894.-Olympian.

The washington Ever green.

A. j. johnson, special agent for
the forestry department at Washing
ton, has just returned from an ex-
tended trip through portions of Ore
gon, Washington, Idaho and Van
couver island. Mr. johnson is now
going home to Astoria to thrash out
his harvest, which consists of 200
sacks of cones of the various ever
green trees of Washington, the seeds
of which were wanted by the govern
ment, and some of which will also be
sent to fill orders from France, Ger
many, Holland and Italy. The
beautiful evergreen trees of Washing
ton and Oregon are better known and
more highly priced in those countries
than they are here at home. Mr..
Johnson thinks it is about time that
steps were being taken to have speci-
mems of these trees planted in the
parks of our own cities, as we'll as in
those of European cities, of which
they form the greatest attractions.
There are more than thirty varieties
of evergreen trees, native to these
states, many of which are highly
esteemed for landscape gardening,
and some of which are as beautiful as
any in the world, and are in great de-
mand in foreign countries, but are
almost entirely unknown to the peo-
people of Washington and Ore
gon.-Oregonian.

How frequently we see exhibitions
of ingratitude. says the West Coast
Trade. No circle, not even the politi-
cal ring, is free from it. 1t is found
in business life, IN the workshop, on
the farm, everywhere, besmearing all
that is lovely with its pitchy blackness.
No matter where we go, we will run
up against the mean man who settles
his debts of gratitude for less than ten
cents on the dollar. He who expects
gratitude from the average man might

corpse, or needle.
Yes. this is sad and bitter world.
In the language of a gentleman of
Hiber-nian extaction: "We never
sire flowers on mans grave until
after he is dead" We may thank the
Lord that there is one thing in this
world that money can't buy, and that
is the wag of a dogs tail, probably be-
cause the canine does not appreciate
what can be done with money.
A great many people do not believe
that they have any cause to be thank
full Old Judge Peterby belonged to
this class. He was laid up with the
gout, and notwithstanding his feet
were very much swollen, he was always
making kick. His doctor who is a
church member frequently rebuked
Peterby for being SO impatient, saying
unto him:
"You should be grateful to the AL
mighty for his kindness unto you"
"What kindness are you talking
about2" grOwled Peterby.
His kindness in giving you only two
legs to suffer with. Suppose you had
hundred legs like centipede, and
they were all swelled up big as
yours are now"
This is the proper view to take of
things, but we don't always view that
way.

When in early years we were at
tending academy school, young
Quaker lady, in the philosophy class,
was often asked to stand on the nom
conducting glass-legged stool, to be
charged with electricity from the bat
terry. Her strong physique made her
good subject for experiment. When
her system became so fully charged
that it would hold no more, the sparks
would fly off from her person in al
directions. This was sport for the
class, as each spark left a prcking
sensation as it flew off. If we held
our finger within six inches OF her
person the sparks would fly to our
finger, thus giving a pricking sensa-
ton to it, Just so it is with the
Holy Spirit. If we would be sur
charged with it we must cut clear
from all worldly tendencies around
us. Our conservation to God must be
complete so that we will not depend
on any other source for help. Then
God will do for us "exceeding, abun-
dainty above all that we ask or think" !"
He will so charge us with His Holy
Spirit that its fiery current will flow
off to others and kindle life-givlng
power and trust in them. The Lord
needs no help from the world, flesh or
