 Meanwhile the work of occupying the big new building just erected is still in progress, and a good deal of machin- cry and other equipment is being put into it. The new building will be large ly occupied by the female help. It is across the road from the main factory and will be of much service in relieving the pressure for room in other parts of the big factory when busy times come again.

Money Flows Like Water When the
Rajah Comes to Town.
A visit of the Rajah Of Amabad to
the city of Calcutta is a grand event.
When he announces that he Is coming
on a shopping tour the store keepers
rejoice. During the visit Of a rajah
to any of the stores no other person
excepting attendants is permitted to
enter the store. 1t is closed to the pub
lie while the Rajah does his purchas-
ing. These rajahs are immensely
wealthy, and especially so is this one
from Amabad He governs q large
province and is allowed a British resi-
dent at his palace.
Describing recent shopping tour OF
the Rajah a traveller writes: The pro;
cessiOn stopped at the main entrance
of the large store run by the Eastern
Hotel Company. The secretary Of the
hotel was on hand to do the honOrs.
From one department to the other, the
Rajah Of Amabad was taken, followed
by a score or two of HindOo attend
ants. The Rajah ordered lavishly.
Anything that caught his fancy, useful
or not, was bought by him. 1t took
three hours for the pOtentate to visit
the various counters, but it had well
repaid the company for their trouble
At the end of that time it was found
that the Amabad Rajah had bought
goods to the value Of 10000 rupees
($47, 142. $50. He never pays cash down
The money can be had at any time the
hotel company desire to send the DILL
The Rajah of Amabad on this occasion
was dressed in European fashion,
wearing his state vest of gold, valued
at $4,000 rupees ($6,85O. 1t is a gorge
Gus affair." The entire front is woven
with 22-carat gold threads, while the
buttons, five in number, are of pure
gold The Rajah's fingers were cover
ed with gold rings set with fine rubies,
sapphires and diamonds. Over the vest
of gold a white silk coat was worn with
buttons Of gold, and the whole was
crowned with turban on the RaJah's
head, made out of fourteen yards Oh
the very finest of silk, trimmed with
gold lace. After the Rajah had COM
pleted his purchasing the company
opened several bottles of champagne,
and the success of his highness was
drunk with the liquid that matched, in
its sparkling glory, the color Of the
Rajah's vest.

An Oregon Freak.

A curious physical freak has been dis
covered on the tongue Of the infant
child of Mrs. Carl f. Wagner, the wife
of q railroad man of Albina, Ore.
About q week ago, when the child was
but q week old, the mother called the
attention Of the family physician to
the fact that she experienced a pecu-
liar feeling when the child was nurs-
ing.
She had not investigated for herself,
but thought the babes tongue was ex-
ceedingly rough for one so young. The
doctor opened the child's mouth and
was astonished to find its tongue COW
cred with silken hair Of short growth.
This was somewhat extraordinary, and
he could hardly believe that what he
saw was fact. The attention of some
of the most prominent physicians there
has been invited to this freak OF M
ture. They say it is an unparalleled
case. 1t is so extraordinary that Il
report of it will be furnished all tho
leading medical journals in the coun-
try and Europe A local museum man
has already made Wagner, who is a
moor man. an offer for the use of the
child as soon as it can be safely taken
from its mother.

4 WONDERFUL GARDEN, THIS
At Least the Story About 1t Is Won.
dcrful Enough.

dcrful EnOugn'
Most people have heard Of the hang
ing gardens of Babylon, the modern
roof gardens and the gardens or float
ing islands in which vegetables used to
be grown for the citizens Of ancient
Mexico, but probably few have heard
of garden on board a ship, with farm.
yard attachment The splendid ship
Mowhan, now in port, and the largest
vessel which has ever been here, had
such an arrangement on board during
her trip to Oregon. On leaving Belfast
for Portland she took on board as bal
last 1000 tons Of Irish soil, which, when
leveled off, made quite stretch of
ground, and, as the soil of Ireland is
proverbially fertile, the ships company
proceeded to put 1t to good use by plant.
ing stock of garden truck ii it-cab-
bage leeks, turnips, radishes, lettuce,
peas, beans, etc. The seeds came up all
right and the plants 1ourished finely,
and when the ship was in the tropics
grew with great rapidity. AS they pro-
crossed toward the Horn and the
weather grew colder, things came to
perfection rapidly. The crew and ships
apprentices amused themselves by
wedding and cultivating the plants, and
the captain and officers took regular
walks In the garden daily, and all had
green vegetables to their hearts con-
tent.
AS they came around the Horn the
garden wAs replanted and by the time
they reached the equator everything
was ablOom, and all hands Toasted on
fresh vegetables daily. The only draw
backs to the garden were the weeds
which grew so rapidly that they could
hardly be kept down and the droves
of pigs that were kept in the farmyard
attachment, and which, on several oc-
caSiOnS, when the ship was buckling
into q nor'easter and rolling heavily,
broke out of the bounds and made Seri-
GUS inrOads on the garden. 1t is d sori-
Gus matter to call all hands on board
ship, and Is only done in emergencies,
but when the pigs got into the garden
there was more pounding on forecastle
scuttles and handspikes and blowing
of boatSwain'S whistles than If the ship
had been laid aback by a typhoon or
al the masts had been carried away,
and every sleeper was aroused to help
get the pigs out of the garden.
The last pig was killed and served up
with green vegetables just before the
MOwhan entered the Columbia. On the
arrival of the MOwhan here the Irish
soil was discharged on the elevator COM
pahy's dock and piled up neatly, so that
any eXiled patriot who desires bit OF
the "Ould sod" can be accommodated.
The pile will doubtless be covered with
shamrOcks in the spring and will fur
nish bOutOnnieres for q whole st. Pat
rick's Day procession. Doubtless
many sack of it will be carried off
to fill flower pots, etc. Although it
comes from the "black north" it is still
the real could sod."-Portland Ore

He spent his childhood In the simple

none could be simpler, as every one

and farm interests made strong man

sense. AS boy he was a great walk

was excessively fond of birding, the
only form of sport afforded by that
