Swede Spent Two Years In vindicating

Guilty. Andrew carried the mail for
year, then one day he failed to reach
home. There were valuable letters in
his sack, and the inference that he had
decamped was strong. On the night he
should have come into Silverton his
brother, fresh from Scandinavia and
unable to speak English, got off the
stage. AS county attorney I had to
break the news to the boy and stood by
while he wept
Rewards were offered for Andrew,
and | sent out parties to search the pass,
but to no effect. A miner claimed to
have seen him a week later in Leadville,
but we got no more trace Of him. The
brother refused to believe that Andrew
had done wrong and spent his days
tramping the canyons searching for his
brothers. body. We tried to get him to
go to work, but he did not yield until
by his shortness of funds he was starved
to it. In the summer, when most Of the
snow was off, he searched again, but in
vain. During the winter he worked,
but when the second spring came he re-
newed his lonely trampings up the trail.
We thought him demented, but he cared
not for our opinions. One day in August
he walked along at the base of cliff
and saw a boot sticking out from some
debris. He uncovered it, and his search
was ended. That evening he came into
town with the mail sack, much stained
but intact, and his brothers. coat. The

afterward put at its head, is up the

Mysterious Glass Balls.

The small island of Billion, between
Sumatra and Borneo, has long been ia
nous for its rich tin mines, which are
controlled by the Dutch government. In
describing the geology of Billion be-
fore the Royal Academy of Sciences in
Amsterdam recently Mr.. Verbeek gave
an account of the mysterious "glass
balls of Billion" which are found
among some of the tin ore deposits
They are round, with grooved surfaces
Similar balls are occasionally found in
Borneo and Java, as we'll as in Aus
tralia Mr. Verbeek thinks they cannot
be artificial, and there are no volcanoes
near enough to support the theory that
they are volcanic bombs. Besides, he
says, the CLASSY rocks produced by the
nearest volcanoes are quite different in
their nature from the material of the
balls. He suspected that the mysterious
objects were elected ages ago from the
volcanoes of the moon and afterward
fell upon the earth.

both sarcastic and indignant when any

So when reader named Campbell ven
tured to oriticise expressions used by its

that he had caught Tartar. This is the
way The Inter Ocean puts it:
Inolosed with the following letter,
received few days ago, were two clip
pings from the society columns Of The

Value of the Egg In sickne...

The value of egg albumen as food in
certain diseased conditions is pointed
out by DR.. @. E. Boynton. When fever
is present and appetite is nil, he says,
when we want an aseptic article of
diet, the white of an egg raw serves
both as food and medicine. The way to
give 1t is to drain off the albumen from
an opening about half an inch in diam
eter at the small end Of the egg, the
yolk remaining inside the she'll. Add a
little salt to this and direct the patient
to swallow it. Repeat every hour or
two. In typhoid fever this mode of feed.
ing materially helps us in carrying out
an antiseptic plan of treatment. Fur
thermore, the albunen to a certain ex-
tent may antidote the toxines Of the
disease. Patients may at first rebel at
the idea of eating raw egg, but the
quickness with which it goes down
without the yolk proves it to be less
disagreeable than they supposed. and
they are very ready to take a second
dose. Pacific Medical Journal.

Cropping Them Prevents the Animals
From Hearing Well.
Any one who has heard the mega
phone must have wondered at the ex-
traordinary power of increasing sound
that is produced by form, and would
like to call attention to one point in
connection with cutting dogs ears that
| do not remember to have seen men
toned anywhere = that is, from an
acoustic standpoint:
have lately purchased a small York
shire terrier, imported from England
only few months ago. Its ears were
clipped in England after what the seller
of the dog declared to be "the very lat
est style"
The ears were first clipped and then
stifened up with three effects on the
dog:
First.-That the buzz of bee or fly
causes him to retreat under cover of
safety.
Second. THAT he ducks his head
when about to be patted, sure sign of
the length of time the pain of the oper-
alton must have lasted.
Third. IAN effect had not expect
ed.) That he has absolutely no idea of
the direction of sound.
In the ears of mastiff dog any one
who observes the she'll like form of the
ear opening may easily imagine the i'm
mense power of such trumpetlike in
strument to increase the volume of
sound. A change in the acoustical ar
rangement of the flap Of the ear would
necessarily entirely puzzle and bewilder
the owner as to the direction of sound,
and this one point on ear cutting would
seem of itself to condemn the practice.

AN ANEcDoTE OF LINCOLN.

He Measured Height With Miner In a
Pennsylvania Town.
In the course of an article in st.
Nicholas Mary Lillian Herr relates the
following characteristic anecdote of
Lincoln:
Once while on his way to Washing
ton as president the train stopped lit
tie time in the town of Allegheny, Pa.
Around the station great crowd gath
cred, eager to see the new president
They shouted and cheered until Lincoln
had to appear on the rear platform of
his car. He bowed and smiled, but the
crowd was SO noisy he did not try to
speak to them.
Very near to the platform stood
miner, wearing red shirt and blue
overalls and carrying dinner pail.
Like the rest, he had stopped hoping to
see Mr.. Lincoln. The workman was al
most giant in size and lowered head
and shoulders above the crowd.
No doubt he had heard that Lincoln
also was very tall, and, encouraged by
the friendly face, the workman sudden
ly waved his bare arm above his head
and called out:
Hi, there, Abe Lincolnl I'm taller
than you-yes, sight tallerI'
This loud speech silenced the crowd
by its holiness, and laugh arose. But
Mr.. Lincoln, leaning forward with
good humored smile, said quietly:
My man, doubt tin fact, I'm
sure am the taller. However, come up
and let's measure -
The crowd made way and the workman
climbed to the platform and stood back
to back with the president elect. Each
put up hand to see whose head over
topped. Evidently Mr.. Lincoln was the
victor, for with smile of satisfaction
he turned and offered his hand to his
beaten rival, saying cordially;
II thought you were mistaken and 1
was right, but / wished to be sure and
to have you satisfied However, we are
friends anyway, aren't we?''
Grasping the outstretched hand in a
vigorous grip the workman replied:
Yes, Abe Lincoln - as long as I
live -

A FAMOUS BAKERY.
How the hollands Became Cakemake1
For the ROYAL Family.

How the hollands Became Cakemakers
For the Royal Family.
In one of the old buildings which
bear the architectural imprint of Queen
Anne's time in Chester, England, is a
bakeshop-not an ordinary bakeshop,
for the royal arms jut out from the SEQ
ond story, and Immediately above is
sign bearing the name "Bollands. 2"
And the proximity of the sign to the
royal arms is no idle commercial myth
to insnare new customers.
In the annals of the tradesfolk of
Chester there never was greater man
than Richard Bolland, the original
owner of the bakeshop. In 1885 the
Duchess of Kent and her young daugh-
ter, the Princess Victoria, visited the
city for the purpose of officially opening
new bridge that was to bring all
kinds of Importance and prosperity to
the town. OF course it was an immense
event for Chester, and every one did
something to make the visit of the
great folks memorable.
Richard Bolland was ambitious, but
poor, and he churned his brains might
lily to devise some attractive method of
showing his loyal appreciation of the
visit. In happy moment he decided to
make some small cakes of transcendent
excellence, put them in fancy box and
present them to the young princess
Happy thought Potent cakesl Great
Bollandi
The next year the little princess,
whose palate had been enchanted by
the flavor of the Chester cakes, became
queen of England, and one of the first
acts after her accession in 1887 was the
appointment of Bolland as one of the
queens warrant holders So much for
the power of a box of small cakes.
How long the flavor of those cakes
fingered in the royal memory is shown
by the fact that % years later, when
the Prince Of Wales was to be married,
Victoria gave a @mmission to Bolland
to prepare the wedding cake for that
great event. 1t was no ordinary we'd
ding cake that Mr.. Bolland produced
either, and its exhibition earned him
such tremendous fame that every Eng
fish bride of wealth and prominence
who has married since then has had
the Chester baker prepare her wedding
cake
Descendants Of the original Bolland
now conduct the shop, but they use the
same recipe that proved so successful in
the days of Vietoria's childhood, and
still bake cakes for the royal family

PATENT APPLICATIONS.
The Vast Majority of Those Sent to Wash.
ingtOn Are Rejected.

The Vast Majority of Those Sent to Wash
ington Are Rejected.
The applications for patents filed av-
erage about 1875 day There are 80
principal examiners, with perhaps 200
assistants. Every examiner and every
assistant examiner has his own special
ty. Let us take the case, say, of poor
inventor living in Oregon. He makes a
valuable invention and desires to OBJ
tain patent. He sends his application
with $40 to the commissioner of pat
ents. 1t is referred to the examiner hav-
ing charge of that peculiar class of in
ventions. 1t is his duty to reject it if
anything can be found on which to base
rejection. Nearly 100000 Retents
have been granted in the United Tntes,
and probably more than 1000, 900 in
the rest of the world. If any of these
anticipate the invention, the examiner
must reject the application. 1t is not
necessary that exactly the same thing
should have existed before, for if any
thing substantially similar can be found
the applicant must go to the wall. But,
more than this, if any thing similar has
been described in any printed publica-
ton, in any language, anywhere in the
world, or if without being patented or
described i'll print it has been used any
where in the United States, the exam
iner should reject.
The rub comes all the time upon the
degree of similarity which will consti-
tute an anticipation of the invention.
A tremendous responsibility, it will be
seen, is thus thrown upon the examiner.
He wants to be safe. 1t is both his
pride and his duty not to allow patent
to go out that ought to have been re-
jected The consequence is that great
many examiners reject almost every
thing on the first examination. No mat
ter how broadly new the invention may
be, something can always be found that
is akin to it. The nearest thing that can
be found is used as basis for rejection.

A Puzzled Author.

The San Francisco Argonaut tells an
amusing story about Alphonse Daudet.
When he brought out Sappho, an Amer
lean publishing house that issues religious
books, not knowing it's character, offered
NJ. Daudet a large sum for advance sheets
of the work. He accepted the offer, and
the advance sheets were sent. When the
publishers received them, they decided that
they could not issue the book, and they
cabled to the author, Sappho' will not
do This dispatch puzzled Daudet. He
consulted with numbers of friends, and
this was the conclusion at which they
eventually arrived "Sappho" in French
is spelled with one "p''-"S apho," after
the Greek fashion In English it is spelled
with two. An unusually acute friend
pointed this out to Daudet, which much
relieved the novelist, and he cabled back
to the publishers, Spell it with two p's 4"
1t is needless to state that the publishers
were more astonished at Daudet's reply
than he had been at their cable dispatch.

Concerning Alfalfa

Alfalfa should be cut every time it
blossoms unless a seed crop is desired,
and if used for soiling ON field prop
erly proportioned to the number of ami
mails to be fed regular succession of
cuttings Of green fodder may be OBJ
tanned. If fed in large quantities, it
should be allowed to wilt, as without
this precaution it is liable to cause
bloat. 1t is not safe for pasturage of
cattle and sheep for the same reason,
but horses and pigs are not likely to be
injured. Alfalfa silage is said to have
a disagreeable odor and taste. 1t is
readily eaten by cattle and compares
well i'll composition with clover silage.
1t has not been tested at the station, as
the green forage has been in too great
demand.
The hay is very nutritious, but re-
quires care and favorable weather for
making. as the leaves are easily lost
when the hay is too dry, and with the
foliage disappears large part of the
valuable ingredients of the crop. Great
deterioration takes place if the curing
hay is exposed to rain. The stored prod
uct does not shed water well and if put
up damp is subject to mildew and mold.

Broke the Spell.

Up to the time of Cleveland s election
it was a popular superstition with poll
ticians that no candidate whose name
began with the letter G could be elected
to the presidency. The idea arose from
the fact that no man whose surname
presented this popularity, no matter
how strong he was with the people, had
ever been successful at the polls. There
were two Clintons, George and Dewitt,
William H. Crawford, Henry Clay,
Lewis Cass and number of others,
who, though their prospects seemed
bright indeed, met with defeat when
1t came to the test. Several of the C's,
George Clinton and Henry Clay, for in
stance, were strong candidates several
times, but never could "make the
rifle. "-Pittsburg Dispatch
