Company f will probably 20 aboard

the next day begin the Icing voyage

ment opens wide gap between the men,

who few weeks ago had hoped to see

sorely missed during the six months OF
their absence, and now there seems a
strong probability that they will be re-

The service will no doubt become irk-

Office the worshippers OF the Golden Calf /;
even to the justice Of the peace did they
take from him his Office.
And there was sore distress among the
chief priests Of the worshippers OF the
Golden Calf; for they toiled not, neither
could they spin anything which would
clothe the naked, albeit there was much
wool.
But there were among the disciples OF
gold certain scribes and pharisees who
had found favor in the sight OF Marcus
the First. and to such as they, did he
give the postoflices even unto the fourth
class Offices gave he unto them.
And they rejoiced and were exceeding
glad; for Of such also made he the dele
gates to his convention. And unto the
chief scribe did he entrust the manage
ment OF his convention.
And unto his postms sters did the chief
scribe entrust the leadership Of the del :
cations. For it is written in the minds
OF the gold worslippers that unto him
who has the postofiice shall be given
great power, and the members of the
Grand Old Party shall call him Bose, and
there shall be none like unto him and
he shall take away from the follower OF
the New Prophet even the postoffice
which he hath.
And the disciples of Simon and the
followers of the Stuffed Prophet cried
with loud voice unto the chief scribe
80, Boss, live forever! In all the land
of Yakima there is none like unto thee.
Thou sayest unto the postmaster, Come
off thy perch'-and he cometh; and thou
estsblisheth thy partisan in his place.
Now peradventure, our flesh is as the
flesh of our brothers, the republicans,
and our needs are as their needs. Thou
hast seen fit to bestow upon thy partisans
the postoffices. Now therefore give US,
the followers OF Grover, the true prophet,
one poor office upon thy county ticket,
and by the Stuffed Prophet we will vote
thy ticket straight forevermore; for we
are faint, and long for thy loaves and
fishes"
And the disciples OF Marcus and the
followers Of the Stuffed Prophet fused.
And Nichols and all other base metals
were eschewed, and the candidate fol-
sheriff delivered his PHILIPPE and re-
turned to Mabton, and the counterpart oil
the ancient Daniel, whose sirname is
Tucker, and the follower of the Stuffed
Prophet proudly took their place upon
the scribe's ticket. And they named il

NEW CHRONICLES.
CHAPTER l.


And it came to pass that in the year of
our Lord 1898, there yrs sore distress
among the disciples of Marcus the First
in the land of Washington, lying over
against the western seas.
For the people of that country had re-
fused to hearken unto the voice Of the
Stuffed Prophet, neither would they bow
down to the Golden Calf. For. albeit
there were bounteous harvests in that
land and the fruits of the vine were
abundant; vet was there sore distress
among the disciples of Marcus the First
and the disciples OF Grover and Simon,
whose sirname is Buckner, bscause OF the
dearth OF office. For a new prophet had
arisen in the land. And he cried with a
loud voice, saying: Thou shalt not
press down upon the brow of labor thy
crown of thorns. Thou shalt not cruelty
mankind upon cross of gold!" ..
And his disciples began to multiply
and wax great in the land of Washing
ton.
And bis orators were mighty, and told
in burning words their tale of wrong to
an oppressed people. Aud the people of
Washington hearkened unto the voice Of
the new prophet, and they thrust from

"Will some OF the 'reformers' kindly
run over the list OF large investments
made by outside capital in the state of

the fact that during the time mentioned

MATRIMONIAL LOTTERY.
The Curious Custom which Prevails
in a Russian Proviace-The
Principal Prize.

In one of Gilbert and Sullivan 5 operas
q much-sought young man proposes,
when pursued by 20 lovesick maidens,"
that he be put up at a rattle. Cynics
have often remarked that marriage is
a lottery, and that grim Scotch hbret-
fist may have obtained inspiration from
this statement. As a matter of fact,
however, it is a real lottery in the prov
iuce of Smolensk, Russia. A recently
returned traveller has this to say of the
curious custom, which is observed every
three months:
Husbands and wives are chosen by
the chance drawing of lottery ticket.
The tickets cost one ruble each. There
is only one prize to be drawn, and it con-
sists of the entire sum yielded by the
sale of the tickets, amounting to 5000
rubles, together with a lady described
as of noble blood. The tickets are sold
only to males, and the lucky winner of
the prize will have to marry the dam
sci if he takes the 5000 rubles. If, how
ever, he be already married he is at
liberty to turn over the money and the
lady to any friend whom he may wish
to put in for such good thing. If the
winner should be willing to marry but
is not found to be to the damsels taste,
then they are to be excused from mat
rimony and permitted to divide the
rubles. It is not hard to imagine con-
dition of affairs where the lady in the
case refuses her chosen lord and pre-
fers to take the cash, deciding that
$500 rubles is more to be desired than
a more or less doubtful happiness with
husband of whom she knows moth
ing"

ORIGIN OF PORCELAIN.
Invented by the Chinese, Perfected
by the Japanese, Named by
the Portuguese.

The word porcelain, as applied to
china pottery, originated in Japan dur
ing the thirteenth century, writes
Frank II. Vizetelly in Woman's Home
Companion. The Chinese, the pio-
neers in the art of porcelain man
ufacture, began to make it nearly two
centuries before the Christian era, and
so careful were they to guard the secret
of the art that nearly fifteen centuries
apsed before their neighbors, the Jap
anese, got any inkling of it. But once
in their possession the willy Japanese
lost no time to profit by their knowl-
edge. The few intrepid navigators of
those days brought samples of both
Chinese and Japanese ware 10 Europe,
but not until early in the sixteenth cen
fury did a trade in it of any extent
take place. Among the early importers
were Portuguese traders who had set
tied on the Japanese coast, and to them,
1t is claimed, we owe the word porce-
lain, derived from the Portuguese por-
cellana, or sucking pig. When the
Portuguese traders first saw pieces of
japanese ware they were struck with
its translucence, which somewhat re-
sembled that of the cowry-shell. The
cowry-shell, in turn, resembled in shape
a small sucking pig, or porcellana;
hence our porcelain.

BUILDING A CISTERN.
Why Cheap Methods of Construction
Should In No Circumstances
BE Employed.

When making a cistern the same
rules as to doing the work in the best
possible manner apply as when build
ing house. If expenditure cannot be
afforded to make large reservoir,
without cheapening the work, make
1T small and perfect. There are, of
course, some methods of construction
cheaper than others, and the cheaper
as good as the more expensive, so far
as utility is concerned, the extra out
lay being for surface appearance.
There may be cases where they have
stood well made in this way, but it is
risky. Build up good brick walls, well
cemented, and use stone cap and
then you have a certainty. When the
size for the cistern has been deter
mined upon, take a stick-a strip of
board-and bore two holes through
1t as far apart as half the circumfer-
enee of the place to be dug, then
through these holes drive pins few
inches long, and use this as a sweep
for marking the circle upon the sur
face. Dig down, making the sides as
smooth and true as possible. If the
cistern is to be jug shaped, begin 10
draw in when half the desired depth
has been reached. A fat stone should
be put in the bottom, if convenient to
DO so. with basin dug out of the cen
ter; then the brick wall. commenced
at the margin of the basin. Do not use
soft bricks. Sooner or later they will
slack down from moisture absorbed
from the soil. and make the cement on
the water surface insecure Use arch
brick, at least those that are made
from good Cay and well baked. One
can readily tell by the looks or testing
with hammer whether fit for use in a
cistern or not. After laying the bricks
in good cement, the wall should be
coated with plaster, made as follows:

parts, and water. cement, one part

Farmers Are Great READERS.

According TO late statistics the
American farmer is becoming an ON

OF farmers bulletins issued by the de-

In 1894 the number used was Pas. 500;
1895. 1,557,000; 1896. 1891 900, and in
1897, 2.3s70oo. The superintendent Of
