Edited the Gazette.


One of the brightest and best appear
ing of the exchanges that come to this
efiee is the Ilwaco Wash Tribune, ed
tied by Sam L. Simpson, who is known
as 1.-THE poet of Oresos. His "Beauti-
fnl Willamette" is gem, and the most
popular of his verses.
Mr.. Simpson was editer OF the eorvai-
liz GAZETTE many years ago, succeeding
w. B. Carter, who had made the paper
the official organ of the good tenplars
lodge in Oregon. In his saiutory hr.
Simpson, dissolved the relations between
the paper and the lodge, saying "tsm-
perance is not the present editor:
forte" It is understood that he has stree
adopted that virtue.

Snail Farming.



Snail-farming forms a peculiar branch of
agricultural industry in France and other
countries, and the consumption of them in
France is very large. Edible snails vary
greatly in size; the large white ones are the
real escargot, but this term is usually en-
ployed to designate all edible snails adapt
ed to table purposes. But in the markets,
besides escargot, there are two other va
rieties, known as limace and limacon, the
former being of medium size, and the lat
ter quite small. Though the great majority
of the edible snails produced in France are
of natural growth, their artificial culture is
carried on to very considerable extent.
They are propagated from August to Oc-
tober in ground especially prepared Tor the
purpose, and fed with cabbage, clover, etc.
During the winter they are sheltered in
houses composed of brick. wood, and
they are gathered and marketed from April
to June. In the Tyrol from June to the
middle of August the snails are collected
from every available damp place and taken
to the feeding ground near the owners
dwelling This is bit of garden ground,
free from trees and shrubs, and surround
ed on all sides by running water. In this
feeding ground are little heaps of mountain
pine twigs, mixed loosely with wood moss,
and these twigs, when dry, are replaced by
fresh ones. Every day they are fed on
cabbage leaves and grass, and, when cold
weather sets in, they go under cover-that
Is, they collect under the heaps of tWigs
and bury themselves and there seal them
selves up for the winter. When this has
been successfully accomplished, they are
collected, packed in perforated boxes lined
with straw and sent off to Paris and other
towns.

THE EMOTIONAL SLAV.
The Slav Gives UnrestraIned Expires
sion to His AhectiOnnte Impulses.

George hennan in the Independent
l was particularly struck by the frank,
unconscious way in which the Russians of
all classes showed their love or affection
for the relatives and friends to whom they
were bidding Goodbye. The Anglo-SaXoH,
although as faithful in friendship and as
affectionate, perhaps. in disposition as the
man of any other race, has become so ac-
customed to control himself and to check
the manifestation of emotion i'll public that
he often seems cold and unresponsive; but
the Slav, with that complete absence of
self-consciousness which is one of the
greatest charms of his character gives uI.-
restrained expression to his affectionate
Impulses, even though all the world be
looking on. No one. it seems to me, could
have witnessed the partings of relatives
and friends on the Mini Novgorod landing
stage that Sunday afternoon without
feeling in his own heart of affec tionate
and sympathetic regard for people SO
kindly SO capable of deep attachment,
and so unaShamed of their emotions. Di-
rectly under me, at the edge of the land

THE MILITARY ACADEMY.
Report of the Annual Board of WISH

The Secretary of War has received the
| report of the board of visitors to the
United States Military Academy. in which
1t is stated that the general condition of
the academy is good. During the past five
years 292 cadets have been graduated from
the academy, an average of over fifty-eight
year.
If the academy had been kept up to its
maximum number of 81 cadets. there
would have been an average of about
ninety-two graduates each year. According
to the report these figures indicate an actual
annual loss of thirty-four from the possible
number of graduates. These results have
impressed the board in considering the
question of opening the doors of the acad-
envy to largerVnuTber of candidates each
year, which has been discussed by others
Interested in the advancement and success
of the academy.
If there were more appointments at large
and two from each state for the senators
to fill, it has been urged that the additional
cadets could be provided for without a
great expenditure. and the increased num-
Der of graduates would fill important places
in their several states when not needed in
the military service. But the board does
not find that there are accommodations in
the barracks for much larger number of
cadets than can be appointed under exist
ing law.
The figures also show that many of those
appointed are not qualified to enter upon
the course of studies prescribed. and that
many others who enter fail to complete it.
There are many cadets, who manage to
get through the course. but without dis
tinction and without developing any abi-
ity in the studies and accomplishments
that fit one for successful military
career. This, the board finds, is largely
due to the unwise action of the appointing
power. The examinations are necessarily
strict; their purpose is to ascertain whether
the candidate is fitted to undertake the
course and the number of failures after the
course has been entered upon indicates
that the examiners have not been too ex-
acting. There would be fewer failures. in
the opinion of the beard. If the appoint
mcnts were more carefully made.
1t is suggested by the board that the
March examinations be extended: that the
papers be passed upon without delay, and
in of failure the person making the
appointment be at once notified and author
lied to make another nomination, and
again a third if practicable. In examining
the course of studies the board inn
pressed with the Importance of making a
larger place in the curriculum for the
study of the English language. The board
finds the methods of discipline and instruc-
ton are nearly perfect in their result
as it seems possible to make them.
