POTATOES TO IRELAND.


1t would be a graceful act on the
part of the residents of Walla Walla
and of the entire state to follow the
initiative taken by c. L. Whitney
and other residents of Walla WaHa
and send several carloads of potatoes
and other products to the famine
threatened inhabitants of Ireland.
1t has been stated by those who
know the Irish people that they will
never appeal to England for aid in
their distress. but would rather ap-
neal to America. However true this
may be, no appeal to any country
has vet been made, although it is
known that unusual distress exists in
the unfortunate Emerald isle. From
a humanitarian standpoint the pro-
iect of sending food from tlis state
is commendable, and beyond that
selfish end might be achieved in the
sending, selfish technically, only.
Such a gift as is proposed would
serve as an advertisement for Wash
ington, and might attract desirable
class of agriculturists to this state.
Farmers educated in agriculture in
country where the ground is com
paratively unproductive, and where
there is so little return for labor ex'
pended, would be overjoyed to get
into country so rich in natural re-
sources as this. Their habits of fru-
gality and economy, developed IN a
hard school. would enable them to
be eminently successful in country
where Others, trained TO be more
prodioal in their expenditures, would
only meet with medium measure
of success. Wherever Irish farmer
emigrants have sought to wrest their
living from the soil in this country
they have been successful. In later
wears the bulk of the Irish immigra-
ton has been into the centers OF
American population, where it has
entered, for the most part, the ranks
of unskilled labor. In some in
stances Irishmen have met with great
reward, while in many instances
bare living has been their lot.
There is room here for those Irish
men who possess the rudiGents Of
agriculture and an understanding Of
the elements of economy. Snoulo
they be attracted by the Washington
potatoes sent them, they will find
warm welcome waiting for them IL
this state.-Spokesmar-R Review.

 One of the knights of industry" who abound in Paris accomplished very sharp theft recently, say Psri. let ter. He walked around to newly const.Lcted house on the Boulevard Henri Quatre, which had lately re ceived some tenants. and pompously represented himself as the special ar- ehitect of the board of health. sent to inspect the sanitary arrangements of the new dwellings. The concierge. deeply impressed by the grand appear ancc of the man, and believing in his official character, admitted him to tine rooms of ono of the tenants, who hap pened to be connected with the Lyons railway. The occupant of the fiat was out, as the sham architect took care to ascertain beforehand.
 The sharper sent the innocent con. cierge Downstairs for measuring rod, md immediately set to work to force open safe, whence he took packet of railway shares and City of Paris bonds, amounting in value to over [ 600. The safe was firmly closed be- fore the return of the concierge, who, suspecting nothing, accompanied the sharper around the apartment. After the sham architect had finished his tour of inspection, he politely departed. When the official of the Lyons com pany came home at noon he discovered his loss, and entered into immediate communication with the police. who are now looking for the sham archi- feet

The New Woman Is Largely In Evidence
 In the Fiowery Kingdom.
 During n description of the woman of Japan correspondent of the St. Louis Dispatch says:
 The girls middle schools are like our public day schools. The education given is excellent and quite up to all modern requirements, while at the same time the characteristic clements of Japanese lady's education are pre- served.
 The traditional accomplishments of n Japanese lady were, however, not for gotten. and there were rooms set apart for giving instructions in the arrange ment of flowers, the details of the tea ceremony, and in playing the soto. Without proficiency in these three ac- complis.lncnts no Japanese lady is thought to be completely educated.
 The technicaland the industrial schools for girls in Japan are admirable insti. tutions. One of the most interesting girls schools is undoubtedly the school for peeresses at Tokio. In this the em- press takes the kcenest interest: she visits the school every week, and knows all the girls by nnme. The students are daughters of the "daimios" and noble men. If the empress had not herself taken the lead in the movement for the higher education of the women of the noble classes it is doubtful if .Iaranese noblemen would have consented to send their r'gls to public day school; that they do So is proof of the earnestncss with which the Japanese have adopted modern western education.

 AS to the ordinary loss of memory produced by advancing years. it is strange how proper names are always the first to go; even those of our inti- mate friends often temporarily vanish which. when VIC arc about to intro duce them to strangers, is rather enl- from my own experience, are esynonyms. This is inconvenient in literary com position. and necessitates the frequent use of the "rhesaurus," writes James Psyn in the Illustrated London News. What is very unfortunate, this only makes matters worse. for there is noth- ing more certain than that tho constant use of helps to memory causes its de- struction. By constantly referring to ready reckoner" persons have been known to have destroyed all power of calculation. On the other hand, noth- ing so strengthens the memory as the exercise of it, and when this is not in- termitted, but kept up as in youth, we lind that. as in the late Mfr. Brandram's case, old age is no bar to the most per feet recollection. Indeed, it is probable, as Sydney Smith observes. that the decay of memory in old men probably proceeds as frequently from the very little interest they take in what is passing around them as from any mental decay. Sir Benjamin Brodie held the same opinion: "The old man h not stimulated by ambition as when he felt that he had many years of fife before him. He has probably with drawn from his former pursuits, and has substituted DO others for them, and we know that the mind, as we'll as the body. requires constant exercise to keep 1t in a healthy state"

formed into an oblong globe, just the
size and shape of the human eye.
Next it passes into the coloring room,
A piece of colored enamel is placed on
the summit of the globe, and this is
gently heated in a small flame and con-
tinuously rotated. Gradually this takes
the form of the iris, and then a spot of
darker enamel is added to represent
the pupil. Then this is covered by a
thick layer of crystal to form the cor
nea.
At this stage the eyeis detached from
the blowpipe and cooled and then sent
to the cutting room, and from it
energies shaped into a small hollow
oval with irregular edge..
The edges are fred and the eye is
allowed to cool slowly, this being the
annealing or tempering process, which
toughens the enamel and renders it less
liable to break. The final work is the
polishing, and then it is ready for the
owner.
The coloring work is the most deli
cate of all, as sometimes eight or nine
colors are worked in to give the correct
shade.

The CoIors of Animals.

It seems to be the result of long-con-
tinued natural selection that the colors
of animals at night seem to blend with
their surroundings, and thus afford
protection. Dark brown, gray and
black animals appear so much like shad-
cws as to be nearly invisible. Patches
of white often appear like moonlight
effects. While the brilliant coloring of
butterflies serves to render them con-
spicuous in the daytime, when perched
upon golden-rod or other bright flowers
at night they are nearly invisible. The
stripes on the tiger and zebra help
to conceal them among the stalks and
reeds; and fishes which rest at night
among eel grass have longitudinal dark
stripes.

SPIRIT PHOTOGRAPHY.
A Step Towards the Logical Solution
of It's Mysteries.

Some apparently uneXplainable mys-
teries of photography seem to depend
upon a previous exposure of a plate,
without the owners knowledge. An
exposure was made of the interior of
house. The plate developed more quick
" than was expected, and the image
was quite different from the room in
tended to be photographed. The plate
was from fresh box. An exposure was
made with river in the foreground.
The finished picture revealed the figure
of a woman, apparently upright in the
water. To complete the mystery, the
body of a woman was found in the river
a few weeks afterward, in the exact
spot of which the photograph was
taken. Papers awhile ago were telling
of an exposure upon a haunted" house.
The negative showed a picture at win
dow, said to be that of man murdered
there. A photograph of a garden
showed a dog, child's dress, and a
hat, which had not been there at the
time the plate was exposed. Upon trac-
ing the history of this glass it was found
that it had been used for other films.
1t had been washed, immersed in nitric
acid, and every means used to insure
chemical cleanliness, yet energy enough
remained latent to form developable
image upon the new film. This is a
step toward the solution of the mystery
of "ghost photography."-Chicago In

MAKING GLASS EYES.
Requires Great Skill Both in Cast
ing and CoIorinE.


The glass eye making industry is
larger than most people have any idea
of, the trade being stimulated by the
fact that the life of usefulness of a
glass eye is from six months to one
year, rarely longer. The salts con-
tanned in the tears have disastrous ac-
ton on the enameled glass, and eat it
away to such an extent that the tiny
spheres become so much smaller in
size that they can be worn only with
great discomfort. In New York there
is a factory turning out 500 glass eyes
in the course of a single week.
In it's initial stage the eye, says the
New York Herald, is long, slender
stick of enamel, made of perfectly
transparent and fusible flint glass. This
is placed in crucible and exposed to
great heat. The globemaller places the
enamel over a blowpipe supplied with
wind, which is pumped by engine
power.
Under the careful manipulation OF
the workman the enamel tube is
