HAWAII AND JAPAN.

Dispatches from Washington state that there
are about to be important developments in the
Japanese imbroglio with the government OF the
Hawaiian Islands. However this may be, GER
tain it is that the disturbance OF the stomach
caused by simple indigestion will develop into
chronic dyspepsia unless checkmated at the
start. The finest stomachic is Hostetter's Stom-
ach Bitters, which promptly rectifies gastric
trouble and does away with irregularity of the
bowels and liver.

One Farmer Whose Ingenuity Saved

A Cheap HORSEPOWER.

The fall Of 1894 cut fodder corn for
ten cows by hand one month, and,
while resting and getting wind" was
looking and studying. took hard WOOD
boards, made a wheel Zine feet In d.
ameter, put a rim on each side ana
bolted l next got an old timber, one
foot square and long enough to stand
upright under scaffold on barn floor,

foot long, boiling them together, went
to the blacksmith's and got an old bug

beam Zone with a weight attachment),
so the rope will run from the large,
nine-foot wheel under scaffold, through
pulleys, to the one-foot wheel on center
post, a belt from the fOur-foot wheel
down to the cutting box. l made a
finch hardwood wheel, two inches
thick, bored hole in center for cutter
shaft, then sawed it in two in the CEN
ter, and sawed one inch off from one
side, bolted the wheel to the shaft
with bolt each side Of the center, put
cap over burs with screws, and 1t

What Hungry Hogs will Do.

The Agricultural Epitomist says:
"a bunch Of hungry hogs will do Il
good job turning and filming coarse
straw manure If some grain is sown
upon it. Occasionally. their roofing
propensities may be utilized in other
ways" A Maine farmer is said to re-
move stumps by fencing them in, max
ing holes under them with crowbar.

GOLD BY THE TON.
That's the Way They speak Of II In
Dawson City.

That's the way they speak Of II in
Dawson City.
In personal letter, received in Port
land from William J. Jones, press cor
respondent in Dawson City, he says.
among other things:
1.-THE stories of the great yield of
gold published in the United States
have not been exaggerated in the least.
The mind is unable to grasp the real
situation, and appreciate the sights that
are SO common here to everyday life.
In Dawson City today, ready for ship
ment, are between four and five tons
of gold. Can you realize that such q
thing is possible. or at all probable?
just consider, too, that all that is
about one-third of the years output.
Men handle gold as you would a plug
of tobacco. At the saloon bars, the
stores, restaurants or other places of
business, the mines throw up their
sacks, and casually turn their backs,
never stopping to see If they are ac-
corded proper weight. Would you
think of handing your purse over to a
Portland barkeeper and allowing him
to take out the change?
I'm many Of the cabins along the
gulches where have visited ! have
seen shelves loaded down with all
kinds of cans filled with gold. In one
cabin on Eldorado creek there are five
coal-oil cans full of the yellow metal,
weighing nearly 1900 pounds.
"The Canadians are exercising the
laws leniently. and to the satisfaction
of the Americans, and generally speak
ing, the camp is orderly and very
quiet, considering the vast amount of
money in circulation, and the number
of hard characters in the country"

breeding Wild Geese.

1t is usually difficult to mate geese
that have been captured alive, for most
of them have already been mated and
will not take on a new love. But some
times young geese are secured, and II
these are placed with domestic geese
each one will select it's mate and re-
main faithful during life, The cross
with wild geese improves the size and
hardness of the domestic goose. But
it has the disadvantage of perpetuating
some of the migratory tendencies of the
wild half of the cross. All geese will
respond to flock of wild geese flying
overhead. and they doubtless hear
their cries much more quickly than do
persons. Often in spring or fall when
Al. flock of geese is making loud
squawking, if one looks up into the
sky he will see flock Of wild geese fly
ing overhead. 1t is always best to clip
one of the wings of all geese, especially
of those that have any wild blood in
them Wild geese that have been cap
tured after attaining full growth are
especially liable to be led astray. They
are probably looking for the old mate
they had before they fell under mans
contrOl.-American Cultivator.

Keepinp Sweet Potatoes.

1 will tell how we keep them until
late in the spring, long after hot beds
are maze. We got sand from the river
and dried it thoroughly in oven in
pans. The potatoes are carefully dug
and left until evening in the patch, are
then placed upstairs in cool room and
lie until late in November covering
them up cool nights when danger Of
freezing). We have two large barrels,
and couple Of inches of sand is put
in the bottom and the potatoes careful
ly put in not to touch, the largest and
best selected (nO bruised ones). Two
inches or more is left all around the
barrel to be filled with sand, then all
covered with sand two inches, anil a
layer of sand and potatoes until bar
rels are full, covering with three inches
of sand on top.
Those barrels set on the stairs floor
above the kitchen in log house, With
no floor above. In severe weather a
wagon sheet four-double or carpet IS
thrown over the barrels, reaching the
floor. They must be kept in a cool,
dry place, as too much heat or damp
ness rots them. We have kept them
this way for years.-Epitomist.

The St. Martinville Branch.

Mr.. Van Week, manager of the
South Pacific at Houston. announced
yesterday that the extension Of the ST.
Martinville branch road to Arnaud-
vile, will be regularly opened for
business on the 5th of July.
This announcement ia made with
much satisfaction by Mr.. Week, and
all the Southern Pacific officials are
glad of it, because the branch, which
is about twenty four miles long, opens
one of the most fertile sections of the
south to the trade of New Orleans.
This road penetrates st. Martin parish
for the most part, part of the state
where there has never been any facili-
ty given the people for the shipment
of produce. Hence there has been no
rapid development of the country.
This road will serve to open up q
new era of prosperity for that section.
Mr.. Van Week states that the peO-
pie living along the new line will all be
given free excursions on the Fourth of
July, go that they may be afforded an
opportunity of getting acquainted with
one another and with the road. Along
these twenty-four miles of road, there
will be some ten or twelve stations,
sidings and switches, as every facility
is to be sgiven the people for
shipping out their produce.
The work on the ST. Martin
Vile branch has been pushed rapidly,
and is completed much earlier than
was expected by the management,
when the work was started several
months sgo.-New Orleans Plea

A "Men'S Man,"

Samuel r. Galloway, lately presi-
dent of the Lake Shore & Michigan
southern, now president of the New
York Central, has one of the pleasant
est, most genteel fronts in all the
world" says Victor Smith, in the New
York Press. 1.-The merry twinkle of
his eye is magnetic. TIE
crows feet in his temples are
catching. He seems to be at
peace with himself and the rest of hui
mankind. Ten years ago Sam was
happy to be vice president of the little
old Nevada Central road, about ninety
three miles long and narrow gauge.
Then he got to be president of the To-
ledo, St. Louis & Kansas City line,
more than half narrow gauge, and
from that footstool stepped into
the presidency of the New
York, Chicago & St. Louis. Will
lie K. Vanderbilt soon learned that
Csllaway was "men's man" as
against an officials man, and got him
over on the Lake Shore, and no sooner
did he take charge of the Vanderbilt
interests in the absence of his brother
Cornelius than Galloway
had to take Chauncey M. Depew's
place."
