Rock Pictures.

- f. ASVVA AobAkOWS
There are upon the face of. the
basaltio rock in Lake county, Or, a
large number Of pictures Of. Indians,
animals, birds and reptiles Of vari-
GUS sorts. They have evidently been
cut with some sharp instrument,
and the work is very creditable,
some Of the Distinguishing excel
lent. The figures and pictures are
Arranged in rows and groups. It is
thought that the pictures resemble
Mexico. Students Of archaeology are
of the opinion that. they may indi-
cate the existence Of ac~ivilization
which. long ago passed from the
memory and knowledge Of man.

Women In HORTICULTURE.

According to the census Of 1890,
there were 812 commercial greenhouses,
or about / in 10, owned and managed
by women. In Viok's Magazine mention
is made Of several women who are sue
oessful retail florists. Other women are
making a success Of raising carnations
and other flowers for the wholesale
trade. These people soon learn that the
business Of raising and selling flowers
as beset by much care and labor that
do not come under the head Of poetry.
The authority quoted says: Generally
speaking, we think that the raising Of
Strawberries near our best markets is
further from being overdone than that
Of almost any other kind Of produce.
The consumption is enormous, and hesh
fruit brought quickly from the fields,
without a large distance intervening,
always will sell considerably higher
than fruit long from the vines that has
been shipped. Much Of the work Of
picking and handling small fruits ID

in theory, but it won't work out in

Its like the theory of money
saving. According to theory, every
worker should lay aside a good por-
ton Of his earnings until he acquires
q competence. Now, suppose that
every wage Garner in the land should
do that. How much money would
anybody havei With a per capita
circulation Of about go, the ordi-
nary man with a wife and three
children could put by 800, and
there he would have to quit.
Don't you know a universal pol
icy of saving would make hard times
in any yearf It is a moral obliga-
tion upon every member of society
to live according to his means. II
a man doesn't eat enough, he works
q hardship upon the butcher and
baker. If he doesn't wear enough,
he is making hard times for the
tailor and the haberdasher.
II figure it that the poorest citi-
zen that we have is the man who
has reduced his wants to the lowest
necessities and who tucks away the
biggest part of his salary into a saw
ings bank. ,
ITO an extent the cash customer
is as much to blame.
"For instance, I'm dunned ocoa-
sionally by a collector. Is that any,
thing reprehensiblei Well, I should
say not. Right next door to me is
a collector for a big company, with
q pleasant little wife and two fine
children. Suppose everybody began
to pay his debts without dunninga

"Then think of the bookkeepers
and accountants who are dependent
upon the debtor for a living. II cash
was paid on the nail always, how
manysof them would have anything

"Anyhow it doesn't pay to give
up cash too easy. A tailor doesn't
take half the interest in pressing a
cult that has been paid for that he
does in pressing one which he has a
half interest in. It isn'tnatural that
he should.

The Bathing Bend.

With the bicycle faces and other sport

bled nowadays should be noted the
bathing bend. This, says the New York
Times, is to be seen on all beaches
where there is surf bathing. The women
bathers are the ones usually addicted to
the bathing bend. 1t may be noticed
when a wave 10 half way in and the
preoccupied bathers are preparing them

q MIDNIGHT eEAT

Lieutenant Con Marrast Perkins
Of the United States Marine corps
contributes an article on 1.-THE Lat.
Of the Drums" to st. Nicholas. The
author laments the gradual passing
OF the drum from use in the army
and navy. He gives the following
account of a frequent incident on Z
man-of-war, showing the use that is
made of the drum:
The ship is lying at anchor In a
distant port 1t is night, andsnoth-i
ing is heard but the trampsof the
sentry on the forecastle andthe rip
pie of water at the gangway.
Only the officer of the deck, the
quartermaster and the guard are
awake. The entire crew are below
decks and dreaming in, their ham.
mocks.
The cabin door opens, and the cap
tain steps forth softly, fully dressed
and wearing his sword and revolver.
He speaks in a low tone to the off,
Ger of the deck, who sends an order.
~ forward with a message. Ina
moment the orderly returns, bring
ing with him the drummer, who
stands silently at the mast, drum
sticks in hand, watching the COM
mander. *1
Eight bells" - midnight - is
struck. At q silent signal from the
commanding officer the drummer
poises his sticks an instant, then
sounds the long roll, or "alarm,"
which is at once followed by the
quick beat to general quarters" 81
Instantly the scene changes to one
Of apparently the utmost confusion.
Four hundred men leap from their
hammocks. Passing a few turns Of
the lashings around them, they
throw them into their MEETINGS"
then spring to their stations at the
batteries and cast loose the guns.
Amoment more and bright fash
and roar from the fo~recastle pivot
gun burst upon the stiffness and
gloom of the night, followed quick
ly by the broadside battery.
Each gun is fred once, a blank
charge, but enough to show that the
gun is in good order and ready for
service.
AS suddenly the pandemonium
subsidies, confusion gives place to
silence and order, and not a sound is
heard, but the battle lanterns fash
ing along the crowded deck reveal
the we'll disciplined crew standing
at their quarters, every man equip,
ped with cutlass and pistol, silent
and alert. Sponges, rammers, sup.
ply boxes and battleaxes litter the
deck. Everything IL provided and
ready as for action, while the cap
tain, accompanied by the executive
officer (the first lieutenant) with an
orderly bearing a:lantern, makes q
thorough inspection fore and aft and
below, including the powder divi-
sion, magazines and shellrooms, to
see that nothing is lacking which
would be required in real action.
At the touch Of the drum the ship
has been changed from deathlike
stiffness to readiness for battle, ev-
cry officer andsman at his station,
armed, silent, ,expectant, and all in
less than three minutesi

Missouri river, near the old brew

signed to the depths of the Mis-

mates his. loss at from k4oo to

that the property of the Settler
Office has beengpartially destroyed.

prietor was assaulted in his Office
