Oregon Sends Its Carp East.

At last market has been found for
carp, and if it only proves adequate to
the supply which can be furnished,
the number of carp in this section will
soon be reduced. Mr.. Reeder, OF
Sanvie's Island, says there are now
three men fishing for carp in the out
let of Sturgeon Lake, and they sell
their catch to dealer in Portland for
two cents per pound, to be frozen and
shipped East. If the fish find q ready
market and the sale increases there
will soon be many more persons fish
ing for them.
When the water is rising the carp
rush mp the river into The lake, and
when the water begins to fall the sa-
gacious fish rush ont again. They
are caught in bag OF purse nets set
in the outlet OF the lake, and by
turning the nets around as the flow of
the water changes they are caught "a
comm OF a-gwine.
The lake and sloughs on Sauvie's
Island are swarming with carp, and
there is NO end to the quantity that
can be taken. Carp grow to weigh
forty pounds or more and it is said
that some weighing forty pounds have
been seen in Sturgeon Lake, but the
largest seen in the market here
weighed little over twenty five
pounds. If the Eastern people will
eat carp, they can havs all they want
at low rates from this section.-Port-
land Oresonian.

Siberian Railway and Wheat.

The United States Consul at Annoy
makes an interesting report to the
State Department as to the effect of
extension of the Transsiberian Rail-
road upon the expectation of Russian
wheat, question of some Importance,
as within the last ten years the expor-
tation of -four from the United Sta $
to China and Japan has assumed en-
couraging proportions. He is of
opinion that the above railroad extern
sion will not be followed by an in
crease of Russian wheat expectation
First, because the wheat fields in ST.
IBERIA are not numerous or extensive,
and where wheat is grown in the larg-
est quantities the railroad does not
penetrate; second, because freight by
rail is too expensive to permit the car
rying of wheat from the interior of
Siberia to the frontier, thus enabling
new fields to develop and materially
affecting the worlds market; third,
because the surplus in Wester Siberia
goes only to the rural districts to sup
ply the deficit of that country; fourth,
because that portion of the country
suited to the production of wheat has
long been under cultivation and is oc-
cupied by small holdings. Under these
conditions, he argues, it is not likely
there will be any material change in
the crops grown and no increase in the
surplus need be expected.

An Arrow in Its Breast.

Farmer H. N. Clement, of L Yell,
Lake County, Ind, was cunning il
Kankakee marsh. He came upon a
flock of wild geese and bagged several
of them, one of which astonished him
by having as breastpin nh arrow nine
inches long That goose became the
wonder of the neighborhood and the
study of scientists, the only conclu-
sion reached being that, wherever the
wild bird CAM from, there it got the
arrow, so UNIQUE in formation that it
could be assigned to no tribe of Indi-
ans in the United States or any other
known country. Finally Professor }.
T. Mason, of the Natural Museum,
said the bird and arrow could have
come from no other place on the globe
than the Yukon Valley, for except in
that region no such arrows are made.
Science loes not pretend to say how
long the goose had carried the arrow
of Yukon tribesman until it met its
death from the shot of civilized gln
ner down on all Indiana marsh. The
bird disdained the weapon of saw
age, bat turned up its legs to the
Workmanship of the Hoosier farmer
years afterward, and thousands Of
miles away from its summer home in
Arctic desolation, as it was journeying

The Women OF Muscat.

The women wear gatb which is
distinctive from that of other East
ems in general effect, though not in
detail. While the men don brilliant
robes, the women put on brilliant
trousers, a sort of compromise be-
tween knickerbockers and breeches,
and above is O loose waistcost of vel
vet with big buttons, but in the
streets this is often hid by long en-
shrodding black shawl. They do not
cover their faces entirely as the Per-
sian women do, nor do they hide the
lower part of the countenance accord
ing to the custom of the Egyptians.
They obey the Koran law of hiding
the features, but the hiding is per-
functory. Around the head, and,
consequently, stretched over the face,
is black cloth with holes cut to see
through, another to breathe through,
and fourth, if necessary, to sneeze
through. These holes are frequently
quite large; and, instead of the woman
being mystery, could always tell
at glance whether she was young OF
old. ugly or beautiful. Around their
ankles are big silver bangles; other
bangles jingle on their wrists, and
heavy loaded weights shake from the
lobes of their ears. = Chambers's

King Who 1sa Hotelkeeper.

According to LIE Journal dies De.
bats of Paris the most prosperous
hotelkeeper in the world is the King
of Wurtemburg. He runs two large
hotels in Stuttgart. These hotels are
visited by the best of the merchant
class in Germany, and enrich the
Kings private purse to the tune Of
S62,5OO year. bookkeeping has
been followed for nearly two hundred
years by the rulers of Wurtemburg.
1t is recorded that ut the beginning
of the eighteenth century Peter the
Great paid visit to the reigning
Duke at Stuttgart, and, to avoid the
pomp and ceremony of the Court, he
sent word to the Duke that he would
put up at an inn. The Duke wishing
to crafty the Russians whim and, at
the same time to do him royal honors,
promptly turned his palace into a
hotel and sent secret message to
Peters postillions to bring the En-
peror there without betraying the
identity of the house. To make the
deception complete he stuck up q
board over the grand entrance
and received Peter with many bows
in the cap and apron of a maitre
d'hotel OF the period. The Wurtem-i
bergers were so pleased with the e1-i
pertinent that they have continued in
the business ever since.

A Strange Love Affair.

A touching romance in the life OF
the late Right Hon. Charles Pelham
Villiers, "Father" of the House of
Commons, has been disclosed by his
death. In early life he fell deeply in
love with Miss Mellish, and his af-
fection was returned as far rs could be
done by lady who for some reason
had taken VOW to lead a single life.
Mr.. Villiers remained true to his first
love, and never married, and his con-
stancy so touched Miss Mellish that in
her will she left all her fortune--a
considerable one-to him absolutely.
He, however, never touched the
money, leaving it to accumulate with
interest, while he lived very simply
On his own modest revenue, supple
mented by his Cabinet pension. Blythe
lime of Mr.. Villier's death the capital
originally left by Miss Mellish had
grown to q sum considerably over e
quarter of a million sterling. Of this
:otal he, by his will, left S75, 900 to
Rev. Montague Villiers, Vicar of St.
Paul's Knightsbridge, and somewhat
similar sum to Mr.. Ernest Yilliers.-

South American Wheat.

Mr.. Buchanan, the late Minister to
The Argentine Confederation under the
Cleveland Administration, has just re-
turned from that country, and reports
that the Argentine wheat crop this
wear will be great enough to permit
an export of from 100000 to 50,-
600 900 bushels, an amount which will
have not little effect upon the price,
as it will considerably augment the
worlds supply. The possibilities OF
South America as wheat-producing
country are almost limitless. A great
area remains to be opened up in the
Argentine, and when the. railroad sys-
tenn is completed there it will develop
a wheat belt almost as large as our
own rich one in the far northwest. So,
too. in BOLIVIA and Peru, a. some time
in the next century, there will be de-
voted to wheat cultivation an immense
area which must bring South Ameri-
"a seriously into competition with the
United States for the wheat markets
Of the world.-Pittsburg Post.

Great Rat Catcllers.

According to an count in the
Journal d'Hygiene," rats have be-
come so abundant in Brazil that a
domestic snake, the giboya, which has
about the circumference of the arm,
is sold in the marketplace in Rio ia
neiro, to be kept in the house as o
protection againt rodents. 1t would
seem that the serpent pursues it's prey
more for the pleasure that there is in
it than from a sense OF hunger, since
it is said it rarely ents the rats caught.
Similar in it's habits and attachments
to the domestic cat of OH more north
ern latitudes, the giboya will, it is
said, find its way back to the house of
it's master even if transported to n
considerable distance.-Medical Re-

- Watches For Shirt Waists.


Everything seems to point to the
fact that the shirt-waist girl will be
greatly in evidence next summer. Not
only are the shops filled with madras,
percale, lawn, gingham, dotted swiss
and silk shirt waists of all shades,
designs. and styles, but the art of the
jeweller is also called into requisition
to beautify these favorites of the up
to-date tailor made girl.
Recognizing the fact that the long
gold chains now in vogue are entire
ly out of place on the plain bosom of a
stylish shirt waist, and that the stick
ing in and pulling out of watches from
the snug leather, velvet, ribbon and
jewelled belts which are de riguer
now is not only very troublesome,
but eventually proves to be the de-
struction of many dainty Geneva
timekeepers, the manufacturers set
their wits to work to devise something
which would do away with the long
neckchain and the inconvenience of
dragging watch in and out of tight
belt, with the happiest result imag-
inable.
Examining the novelties made in
one of the leading jewelry stores, I
came across what seemed to be a
rather large sized shirt button. Close
inspection showed that it was min
ature watch. Its face is no larger
than m ordinary enamelled shirt
stud. At the back, connected by a
short shank, is another button, very
much larger, in which the works of
the watch are contained. The gil
who wears it has only to bend her
head down to find out the time.
These little watches come in many
different designs, and range in price
from $3.50 to $25 and S30.-New

AIDED BY MRS. PINKHAM.

gle to regain health after the birth of
her little girl:
"DEAR Mrs. PINNHAM:-It is with
pleasure that I add m testimony to
your list, hoping that it may induce
others to avail themselves of your val.
liable medicine.
"After the birth of my little girl,
three years ago, my health was very
poor. 1 had leucorrhea badly, and a
terrible bearing-down pain which
gradually grew worse, until could do
no work. Also had headache nearly
all the time, and dizzy feelings. Men,
situations were very profuse, appear
ing every two weeks.
"Itool1 medicine from good doctor,
but it seemed to do no good l was
becoming alarmed over my condition,
when I read your advertisement in a
paper. I sent at once for bottle of
Lydia E. Pinkhans Vegetable Com
ponnd, and after taking two-tbirds of
the bottle felt so much better that l
send for two more. After using three
bottles felt as strong and well as any
one.
81 think it is the best medicine for
female weakness ever advertised, and
recommend it to every lady l meet suf-
fering from this trouble"
Maternity is Il wonderful experience
and many women approach it wholly
unprepared. Childbirth under right
conditions need not terrify women.

The petrlfied Forest in Arizona.

Steps are now being taken by the
Government to preserve one of the
greatest wonders Of this country from
destruction for commercial purposes.
This is the petrifed forest Of Arizona,
which is located i'll Apache County.
The largest and finest specimens Of
silicifed wood in the world are taken
from it. Whole trunks of trees and
stumps with portions of the root are
found there, converted into stone as
dense and hard as the finest agate.
Every cell and every fibre of the
former wood is preserved in stone. A
forest Of trees appears to have been
entombed in the rocks and to have
been preserved by slow process of
replacement by silica from solutions
permeating the bed Subsequently
the surrounding sediments were
washed away, but the enduring fossils
of the trees remained. Tons upon
tons of specimens have been taken
away by collectors aud dealers. A
company has been formed in South
Dakota for cutting and polishing the
stone for architectural and decorative
work. Sections of these trees four
feet in diameter and large enough for
the tops of tables have been cut and
polished. Many specimens were shown
at the Paris Exposition, where they
were greatly admired for the perfect
preservation OF every detail of struc-
ture of the wood, for the very high
polish and for the exquisite inter-
blending of colors i'll the mass, due to
the presence of various oxides in the
original silicifying solutions. No
other country in the world, it is
claimed. can send to the lapidary such
magnificent raw material of this ma
ture as the petrifed forests of Arizona
