WILL HUNT FOR AMBER.
An Expedition to Search for Mine
Said 60 he on an Island on tho
Alaskan Coast.

In search OF a mine Of amber, which,
II found, will make the members OF
the party independently wealthy, an
expedition left Sitka few weeks ago
for one of the islands off the Alaskan
coast, says the Seattle Post-Intelli-
goncer. AT It's head was an old Rus
sian, Popoif by name, who for 80 years
has been trying TO get some one with
money TO send him In search Of the
amber mine. His story is an interest
ing one. Some 30 years ago he was o
sailor on board a Russian sealing ves-
sci which was wrecked on one of the
small islands or the Alaskan coast.
The crew managed to reach another
small island in the schooner's boats.
and nearly starved before Russian
war vessel happened along and rescued
them.
While on tho island they found quani
titles of amber and traced Il TO big
ledge. The pieces of amber which they
had In their possession when taken on
board the warship were taken away by
the officers. Popof managed to snug
gle one small piece away and has hung
TO It ever since, although he has been
all over the world during the years
that interviewed.
He triedImany times 70 have an expea
dillon QUILTED, but never succeeded
During the recent mining excitement
In the north he got as far as Sltka,
where he became stranded. He ooa4
flded his secret TO few friends and
they furnished the money that outs
fitted the party. Popoif goes with
them as guide and expects TO be back
In sitka within six months.

ELECTRICITY AND LOVE.
now the Current Was Used 10 Check
the Course OF tho Ten-
der Passion.

Here is q variation of the old story OF
the true lovers and the cruel parent.
A prepossessing young woman, living
IN the vicinity Of Seventh apd Taslser
streets, has STEADY" and also IA
ther. The latter does not approve OF
the former, and Is at no pains TO dis
guise his sentiments In the matter.
When eKpostulated with for receiving
the visits Of the young man the heroine
protested that he came merely as a
casual caller. But the old man Was sus-
picious, and he summoned 10 his aid
an electrical worker. AZ either end OF
the parlor sofa, underneath the cush-
ion, contact plates were fitted IN such
way that the weight Of a person over
each one Of the pairs Of plates would
close an electric circuit, ringing a
small gong In another part Of the
dwelling. The popularity Of the ar
rangement was that both pairs OF
plates had TO be brought into contact
In order TO complete the circuit, and
this could be effected only by two per-
sons occupying the sofa.
When the Objectionable Romeo made
his next visit everything was serene
until about 1O;45, when the old folks
supposedly had retired. Then the tell
tale electric buzzer went of, and the
old gentleman with startling alacrity
presented himself at the parlor door.
What he saw shocked his old-fashioned
notions Of proprIety, for in his youth
young people were not permitted 10 sit
without large and yawning space be-
tween them, and this particular pair Of
young people sat very close together,
Indeed. The employment Of modern
science In this instance to dam up the
course of true love was signal sue
cess. The poor girl, according TO the
neighbors, Is training on plain bakers
rolls and ice water, while the luckless
lover declares that "the old man
chucked such a scare into me that a
mogul locomotive couldn't drag me
within q mile OF the house. "-Philadel-

oREGoN's MANILA GUARDS.
Military Organization OF Forty Pretty
Girls, the sweethearts OF
brave Volunteers.

There has been organized at Me-
Minnyille, Ore, a company of Az young
women calling themselves the Manila
guards" Their object is moral, phys
icnl and intellectual improvement.
They are the sisters, sweethearts
and schoolmates of the Oregon vol
unteers who went to Manila. Beauty
and physical excellence are necessary
qualifications of members, and this
climate furnishes some excellent
types. Ages range from 10 TO p years,
and the members are the daughters Of
the best people OF the city and coun-
try.
The girls are neatly uniformed and
equipped as nearly like the boys In
blue as conditions will allow-a snug
fitting blouse of blue cloth, with brass
buttons and blue skirt, cut nine inches
from the floor, with two white stripes
of braid down each side. Tan leg
gings are worn, and blue fatigue
cap, with a tiny broom made Of manila
and wrapped with red, white and blue
cord as a pompon, constitutes the
head-dress. On the left breast Is worn
a five-point star, made Of manila, and
wrapped with red, white and blue
thread.
The guard is equipped with swrods,
belts and haversacks, and is drilled by
an old army veteran In marching and
saber drill, the latter according TO the
old stevenson tactics" They have
attained high proficiency In drill, and
their fame has become state wide.
They gave an exhibition drill on the
Fourth Of July and created a sensa-
ton.
These pretty cavaliers will attend
the annual regatta at Astoria. They
will travel over 800 miles by rail and
boat. All expenses will be paid by
the regatta committee. They are de-
termined to be the chief attraction
apd are brushing up their uniforms
and drilling daily for the trip.
Orders have been issued for the As
toria campaign. Two blankets. a
sheet and a pillow will be allowed
10 each member, and two must bunk
together, tying their effects in one
bundle.
Discipline is very rigid, which is nee
essory to control 40 romping, healthy
girls. Rising and retiring at appoint
ed hours are required. Breaches OF
discipline are punishable by reducing
officers 10 the ranks and the dismissal
of erratic ones from membership.
The guard can storm the trenches
or drive mob from the streets, and
when In a sham conflict their yells re
mind the old troopers Of the John
MES" and "Yanls" Of long ago.-Port
land Oregonian.

HoRsERADIsH TIME.
Uses of This Pungent Root That
some People Don't Know
About.

OF the itinerant merchants whose
raucous cries are just now particular
ly penetrating none is more insistent
than the puryeyor Of horseradish, a
ycnder almost peculiar to the East
side and upper sections Of New York.
He comes a trifle early this year, per-
haps, but he says on being questioned
as to this previousness that the horse
radish crop Is very much ahead Of its
time.
Properly" said one Of the vendors
to me, "the season does not begin un-
til oyster time; but since the crop
insisted on coming to perfection some
weeks in advance and horseradish Is
mighty good as a relish for all sorts
Of cold meats, why, reckon no one
objects to that fact, leastways not the
restaurant keepers.
Good cooks always buy plenty Of
horseradish of us hawkers, for you
have no idea how many are the fine
dishes which may be made with the
root. Lots of people make a very
toothsome sauce by covering one
pound OF sliced horseradish root with
spirits of wine and keeping the mix
ture tightly corked. Then this is
added drop by drop to the white
sauces used for meats or fish. When
mixed with little fresh mustard and
red pepper the horseradish and spirits
of wine make a great sauce for broiled
beef or deviled chicken.
'Horseradish vinegar is another
connection much used in New York
and the way to make It IS to soak
a cupful Of freshly grated root to-
gether with an ounce of minced on
ions, piece of garlic and a pinch OF
red pepper in a quart of cider vinegar
After this has been kept corked up
for week it is strained through a
cloth and tnttled for use. It is pleas
ant addition TO number of salads.
"Many of the restaurants uptown
where the cooks are foreigners grow
n very fine salad from horseradish
They take the crowns which are left
after the roots are dug up and bury
them upright in moist beds which they
keep specially for the purpose in the
dark, warm cellars under the restau'
rants."-N. Y. Herald.

sIRDAR KITcHENER's WOUND.
The Curious Way In which n BuIIet
Was DiaiodEed from

The London Chronicle notes that Gen.
Kitchener, who is now the idol Of Eng
land, big and little, is said to be suf-
fering from a serious affection Of his
eyes, which threatens to impair his
sight. II also calls attention to the fact
that he has had a very curious expert
ence in his earlier Egyptian campaigns.
he having swallowed n bullet, with
which he had been wounded and which
he now preserves as a memento. Dur
ing the campaign of 'ss Maj Kitchener
was hit in the side of the face by a bull
let during a skirmish near Suakim,
and was taken down the Nile, and
thence to the Citadel hospital at Cairo,
where, despite all the efforts Of the sur
geons, the bullet could not be located,
the X rays being then unknown.
sergt. Billion, late Of the medical
staff corps, who is now in London and
who was then specially detailed to look
after the injured officer, states that
the wound was a healthy one, and very
soon healed, and the medical officers
came to the conclusion that the bulle6
had worked its way out without being
noticed, on the passage down the Nile.
Billion one day tempted his patients app
petite with a tasty beefsteak, which
the major had no sooner attacked than
he put his hand to his throat exclaim-
ing: "Bilton, II there was no bone ia
the steak, I've swallowed that bullet;
felt il go down." This proved to be
the case, the bullet passing through
the alimentary canal without injury TO
