Boston head lettuce. The heads are
comparatively solid, the inner leaves
being thick, light yellow in color and
very tender and juicy. Now, let me
tell you how to always treat lettuce be-
fore preparing it for table. Pull the
leaves apart, allowing each to remain
whole; wash carefully; then let it lie in
very cold water for fifteen minutes,
after which shake the water from each
leaf, placing it in a white mosquito
netting bag and hang in the refrigera-
tor, there to drain quite dry and to be-
come still more crisp. Lettuce should
never be dressed until just before eat

Our State University.

Professor Darcy Thompson, the
noted scientific light of Scottish uni
versity, has recently visited our state
university at Seattle, and speaks of it
in terms of highest praise. He says it
is in all respects equal, and in some
respects superior, to any OF the young
er universities of the British Islands.
He expressed himself as Surprised and
delighted at the scope it offers for
study, and at the equipment" He
said that the people OF Washington
have reason to be proud of their uni
versity, its faculty and the material
that is being developed into men,
particularly that part of it addressed
to the study of nature. Nevertheless
the common schools are destined to
remain the foundation of American
manhood, the instructors of the
common people. Few young people
can get to the height of college edu-
cation. All should be compelled to

Big Break in the Price Of Wheels

The most important move that has
been made in the bicycle business in
several years was the announcement
on Saturday by the Yost Manufacture
ing Company that its 500 wheels
would in the future be sold at SIS on
payments, and 10 per cen discount
for cash. This is the first break in the
so-called "high-grade" wheels, and
means that sweeping reductions will
take place frome this time on.
All the makers of $1OO wheels have
suffered this season from the large
number of cheap wheel that have
been thrown on the market by nearly
every factory that could be fitted with
the needed machinery. The Pope
Company recently tried to stem the
tide by a heavy cut in its Hartford
grade Of wheele, but it is thought that
cut will now be made in its Column
bia 500 grade since this break has
come in the W~st. Mr.. Yost said to
the World correspondent that he ex-
poets to see every 500 wheel sell in
the near future for SIS; that his com
pany is simply acting on this opinion,
and the makers here are reticent, but
hope to finish the present season al
high prices. Three bicycle firms fail
ed last week, and there is prospect
that the bicycle trust will be forced to
sell wheels at $50 before long.

since we cannot have internationalism

buy nearly four times as much as the

SEATTLE, WASH, June 80, 1896,
The past week has been among the
warmest that has ever occurred in
Washington during the month of
June. There was succession of three
or four excessively warm days during
the latter part of the week. Temper
atures ranged on the hottest day, the
Goth, from IS to 95 deg in the western
section, and from 80 to los deg in the
eastern section.
No rain occurred in the eastern
part OF the State, and in the western
part only very slightly, scattering
showers on the Goth and 2Sth. Ran
is now beginning to be very much
needed. 1t would be very benefic al
to growing crops, and coming now
would not do injury to hay as itwould
later on when haying becomes general.
On the whole the weather was favor
