NOT THE SAME,
Beranger's Terse and Clever Character
ization of Victor Hugo.

ization of Victor Hugo.
A terse and clever Characterization
was that by which Beranger, the poet,
summed up Victor Hugo's relation to
the great republican spirit of France.
Hugo, although it is said that he was not
arepublican at the very beginning of his
career, became most enthusiastic and
outspoken one. He represented the pic
torial, dramatic side of popular feeling
29pd becam1e SO picturesque figure in
French politics that he Gould not have
failed to serve as popular idol.
Beranger, who was republican of the
simplest type, Notwithstanding his
share in establishing Louis Philippe on
the throne, denied the poets attitude in
one line.
One day, says the Contemporary Re-
view, shortly after the revolution which
overtoppled that throne, an acquaint-
ance of Beranger met him coming out
of the Palais-Bourhon. II shall feel
obliged" said the poet, III you will see
Inc home, for l do not feel at all well.
Those violent scenes inside there are not
to my taste. l am not at all WELL" he
continued, with wistful smile; 81 have
been accused of having held the plank
over which Louis Philippe went to the
Tuileries. l wish could be the bridge
across the Channel on which he would
return. Certainly would have liked a
republic, but not such as we are having
in there"
He pointed to the home of the Con-
stituent assembly. You ought to be
pleased" said his friend. "Victor Hugo
is in the same regiment with you"
"Victor Hugo is not in the regiment"
was the quiet reply. HE is IN the
band"

Waits Long for a Drink.

On Laurel hill in Bridgeton, N. j.,
Lhere stands a house between whose
walls is hidden quart bottle of the
purest applejack. The bottle has rested
there for 80 years, and has, according TO
the old story told, eleven years more to
stay. When the house was built, 80
years ago, a quart bottle was filed with
sack" and tightly sealed and plastered
in the wall by a man who had the house
built. The bottle is not to be taken
from its dark recess until the son of the
man who placed it there for him be-
comes so years of age. The hoy" is
now 80 years of age, and in all these
years has kept true TO the promise made
in the days of his youth to his father
not to touch the bottle of applejack
until he reaches the half-century mark
in life's Journey.

AUSTRALIAN BEE HUNT.
How the Natives Find the weIl-Fmed

How the Natives Find the weu-F Filled
Hives.
An Australian savage comes up to
an Irishman's idea of human skill, for
che bates the bees" A native seldom
fails to get honey when he discovers
the bee he has been wathching for. The
following description of natives bee
hunt is given in Mr.. Arthur's kangaroo
and Kauri:"
Warruyallah, the chief of tribe,
went with two little nets to a small pool,
filed his mouth with water, and then
lying down, his head hanging over the
pool, he remained quiet for an hour,
apparently looking at his own reflection
in the water. Then the hum of a bee
was heard. BuZz-z-z it went over the
pool, round the blacks head, now on one
side, now on the other, and now close
to his ear; but not a motion betrayed
the bee hunter.
But when the bee, dropping close to
the water, gave notice by the change of
its tune that it was about to sip, the
chief, with a snort, squirted the water

Before it had time TO recover from the
unexpected douche, he seized it dex-
teriously by the wings.
Then he prepared it for the chase by
fastening to it a bunch of wild cotton
with some gum. The bee was let go; 1t
made for its hive, slowly at first on ac-
count of its novel burden, which i'm
peded its progress and showed sign in
the air for the chief to follow Over
bramble and brake went the chief, ac-
companied by the men of his tribe, and
in half an hour halted at the foot of an
immense gum tree, into whose top the
bee had gone.
The chief mounted quickly, by cutting
notches into the bark with his stone
tomahawk. In a short time he brought
down quantity of honeycomb, small
piece only of which contained honey.
The Australian bees are stingless.

PICKED UP IN THE STREET.
A Blacksmith Finds His Tool to Be a
Nugget of Pure Gold.

Curious things sometimes happen in
the gold bearing regions of the north
west. The Blackfoot Idaho) News tells
of a somewhat remarkable experience
which occurred to a blacksmith at that
town lately.
The smith, whose name is Farmer, had
in his shop grindstone (which he wished
to taper off" For this purpose small
stone was requisite. So he went out of
doors and made search for a stone of the
right size and shape.
He found one somewhat smaller than
a hens egg, and returning to his shop
began to smooth down the edge of the
grindstone with it. He had not
"smoothed" long before he thought that
the stone worked rather queerly, and
was, in fact, too soft to grind the stone.
He took it to his anvil and broke it in
half, and then he found that he had
picked up nugget of pure gold.
Unfortunately, it was rather small
nugget. He sold it for $3.50 cents, and
though this was a very good price for a
pebble picked up in the street, it was not
wealth,

Ice Believed to Come High this Summer
From the St. Louis Republic Of April 30:

From the ST. Louis Republic OF April 5O'
There is a growing belief that the price
of ice in st. Louis will be high this sum-
mer. Those who are in position to
know expect 1t to sell for about half a
cent pound in large quantities, and at a
higher rate in smaller quantities, No ice
was put up in st. Louis last winter, and
the local manufacturers have to compete
only with that which is brought from the
north at great expense and loss by melt
ing. 1t is said the ice machines cannot
nearly supply the ice consumed in st.
Louis, so that people will be forced to use
lake ice and pay high price. There Is,
however. some consolation for st. Louis
ans in the fact that the price is even
higher 10 some cities, as will be seen by
the following list:

Error in Constructing Plates for tn
Battle-ship Oregon.

Error In Constructing Plates for the
Battle-ShiP Oregon.
SAN Francisco, June 2.-In regard to
the statement telegraphed from Wash
ington that defects had been discovered
in the construction of the battle-ship
Oregon, Irving M. Scott. president of
the Union Iron works, says:
"Upon the return of the Oregon from
her trial trip, we were informed that
the superintendent of the shipYard and
two of his subforemen had made mis-
take in the dimensions of some plates in
the protected deck over the coal bunk
ers, and in order to cover it up had sub
stituted thinner plates of sufficient
width, the requisite thickness thus being
made up. Instead of three plates of
thickness required by the specifications
there were four, which, though thinner,
were in the aggregate the same. Upon
being summoned before the trial board
the three men responsible frankly ad-
mitted the truth of the report and said
they had made the su bstitution of thin
ner plates upon their own responsibility
and without informing either the Union
iron works or Mr.. Ssahl, the naval con-
structor, who superintended the work.
GAS neither the strength not efficiency
of the ship was affected, the four plates
they inserted being just as thick as the
three required by the specifications, they
had seen no harm in their action and
hoped by this means to cover mistake
they had made in the dimensions of the
original plates. When questioned fur
ther they stated that they had sIbsti-
tuted four plates OH each side over the
bunkers, and described the location in
detail.
GAS soon as we could locate the differ
ent plates and their number, we fur
nished the trial board with drawing,
showing just what and where they were,
and ordered them removed and others
according to specifications put in their
places; our offer to do this at our own
expense was accepted by the govern
ment, and the plates which were or
dered from Pittsburg left there yester-
day and will be in place next week."

ton of our people, and hence they sin
H. Mitchell will be enabled at the COM
ing crisis TO succeed himself, for he GER
tainly is the right man in the right place
and hard to duplicate. His official ca
reer, while in the senate will bear the
searchlights and the x rays, for he
has been ardent, faithful and true. He
has the respect and confidence of his
colleagues. When his vote is heard in
the halls of congress it is never of an un-
certain sound, but always on the side of
justice and right. His past experience
and vast influence is power for Oregon
which no other man can wisely utilize
until he has acquired the same, and that
takes time, patience and perseverance.
Senator Mitchell is at home in the sem
ate chamber, knowns the wants of his
people and is ever ready and willing to
meet those wants and earn in laudable
and honorable way all the glory and
honor which his constituents and the
great state of Oregon have bestowed up
on him. The state did well when it
sent Senator Mitchell of Oregon to
guard its interests and ours, too, and we
hope and trust it will continue in we'll
doing and return him again as his own
successor, and not try to swap horses
while crossing the stream. Senators
Squire and Mitchell are the best of
friends and always have worked in the
best OF harmony. and while Mitchell is
in the senate we have friend.
