Charles c. Masten. the well-knowr
Svensen logger. was In the city yester-
day. Mr.. Masten is one Of the most
enterprislng loggers on the lower Col
ulnbla. For many years he has been
engaged in logging on the streams In
Wahkiakum county. on the Washing
ton side OF the river During the disas-
trous years OF 1898 and 1894, when so
many Of the loggers on the Washing
ton side OF the river were financially
ruined, MFR. Masten held his own and
engaged III business in C4atsop county
in Washington In 1891 His camp is
located ON Mary's creek, about 10 miles
back OF Svensen. in a fine belt Of TIM
Der. About an average OF 25 men Is
employed in the camp the year
round. His camp has the latest log
glng appliances and two logging en-
sines OF the latest design are en-
ployed In hauling the logs from the
woods to the roadway. About $4,000
teet OF logs are put IN the river daily.
Mr.. Masten is now building a steel
track from svensen two and a half
miles into the woods. He is building It
on the old skid road track. which is
being torn up. When this is finished
he will be in position to continue
logging during the winter on large
scale. This will necessitate the en-
ployment OF over 20 men, all of whom
are paid the advanced scale of wages.
Mr.. Masten says that game Of all kinds
abounds in the vicinity of his logging
camp, A few days ago few OF the log
gers went ON hunt and killed fine
elk only short distance away Mr..
Masten has one Of the best logging
shows in Claitsop county and has suf-
ficlent timber in the vicinity to keep
his camp running for the next three
years He thinks the present boom in
lumber will continue for some time,

tice was postponed until more favora-
ble weather. The men may resume

vorable. The men over at Fort Column
bia fired So shots yesterday at fixed

A Rare Disease.

The condition Of the unfortunate
man who is being gradually ossified
into state of absolute helplessress id
New York City is one which quite nat
urally arouses public interest in the
melancholy and inevitable outcome.
Although the disease in question, which
Is scientifically known as rheumatoid
arthritis, Is not very rare, its extreme
manifestation, us in the present In
stance, is,. somewhat unusual. 1t is
characterized by calcareous deposit
at first around the joints, then after
ward into the surrounding, tendons
and muscles, and finally throughout
the entire fleshy portions of the body.
The apparatus of locomotion is par,
.ticularly involved, and the more vital
processes Of the body suffer in conse-
Guence Of the original trouble. Thus
the patient is unable to feed himself,
on account of the rigidity of his upper
limbs, is confined to his bed by his ip;
ability to walk, and not infrequently
his reputation is affected by the grad
ual and progressive solidiflcation Of
his, chest walls. 1t is ensy to under
stand that the disease Is occasioned
by n profound constitutional error OF
nutrition, and is virtually incurable.-'

Women Are Growing Taller.

eff girls 60 on increasing the average
stature of women as they have done
for the last decade, where will they
stop?"was the question asked the other
day by fond mother, half uncon-
sciously and half proudly, ag she
: stood by the side of aud looking up to
her three tall and athletic daughters.
The average height of the woman of
the last generation was not more than
FIVE feet three inches, but FIVE feet six
inches is not considered too high a
figure today.
J. "A we'll formed woman Of today
weighs 145 pounds-a gain of 90
pounds over her grandmother. When
the arms are extended perfectly
formed woman should measure from
the tip of the middle finger to the tip
Of the middle finger just five feet six
inches, or exactly her own height.
From the thighs to the ground she
should measure just what she meas
ures from the thighs to the top of the
head. The knee should come exactly
midway beneath the thigh and the
heel.
A woman of the last generation took

Women at the Front.

When the deeds of courage and
yalor in the Philippines have become
part OF familiar history one of its
brightest pages will be given to the
wives and maidens who bore a part SO
nobly with the Kansas troops. They
were present III the trenches, ready
with their bsn1agea to give first aid
to any stricken soldier, and about the
hospitals their cheerful pres ce and
deft nursing gave comfort ~ many q
wounded boy. In the letters written
to home folk by the Kansas w0unded
we find mentioned the names of Mrs.
Funston, wife of the colonel; Mrs.
Schlieman, wife of the chaplain; Mrs.
Whitman, wife of the junior major,
and perhaps more frequently yet
the names of Miss Bradncl and
Miss Ollie O'Brien. Miss Bradner
went from Kansas to India several
years ago as missionary. With the
breaking out of the Spanish war she
proceeded to Hong Kong, and then,
after Manila had fallen, to the Phil
ippine capital, where she at once in
stalled herself as n nurse in the Twen-
tieth Kansas. She kept at the front
with the boys all through the late
campaign and applied the first relief
to all that came within her reach.
Miss Ollie O'Brien is Topeka girl
who went to Manila last summer on
pleasure bent. She accompanied Mrs.
Stutensburg, wife of regular army
officer who is now serving with the
volunteers from Nebraska. When the
wounded commenced to come from
the front she volunteered to go to
hospital as n nurse, and she has at.
tended to her duties faithfully and
we'll. Miss O'Brien is naturally Of
the army. When bit of babe she
was adopted into the family of Captain
NJ. O'Brien, and the people of Hays
City remember we'll the pretty little
girl who used to fit about their town
when the captain was stationed at a
nearby fort
Miss O'Brien is tasting for the first
time in her life the delight of being
somathing in the world besides So
cial favorite. She is learning to be
thrilled by the crash of guns, the tramp
of men and the blast of the bugle.
The flag is no longer pretty flag
futtering in the whilom of the breezes
it is the soul of a nation, speaking
serious thoughts. When she wraps
the wounds of patriots she feels that
she is soothing the hurts of her coun-
try, and the strength and broadness
of it is coming to her like great light
out of darkness. All of this Miss
O'Brien tells in her letters, and she
says that she is not shocked nor griev-
ing, but happy-tiercely happy Kan
sas City Journal.

Origin OF a Coins Name.

1t is. among the things not generally
known that, the guinea obtained its
name from the gold from which 1t
was made having been bought from
tile Guinea coast by the African Com
pany of traders. The first notice of
this gold was in 1G49, during the Com.
monwealth of England, when on April
IA of that ryear the Parliament re-
ferred to the Council of State paper
presented to the House concerning
the coinage of gold brought In ship
lately arrived from Guineai for the
better advancing of trade. But it was
in the reign of Charles II. that the
name was first given to this coin. 1t
is also among things not generally
known that when the guinea was
originally coined the intention was to
make 1t current as u twenty-shilling
piece, but from an error, or, rather,
a series of errors, in calculating the
exact proportion Of the value of gold
and silver, it never circulated for that
value. Sir, Isaac Newton in his time
fxed the true value Of the guinea, in
relation to silver, at 20s. 3d., and by
his advice the Grown proclaimed that
for the future it should be current at
o1 shillings.-New. York Times.

Ne,r STYLE In Skirts.

There are great many fascinating
bargains displayed now in the shops
in the ready made silk petticoats.
These are sold for considerably less
than the amount of silk put into them
would cost by the yard; but, like all
bargains, they have some bad points.
.The cheap skirts are made on the old
fashioned lines. The front breadth is
SO narrow that the skirt wears out
very quickly. and in the back there is
Zoo much fulness. The clever seams
tress now buys these petticoats, opens
them out as far as the drawing string
will permit, folds over the extra full
ness until she has bias seam directly
up the middle of the back, which of
course cuts. out quite lot of silk
from around tho hips. With this.
piece she puts extra pieces on either
side of the front breadth, giving the
required width across the front, As q
rule, these ready made skirts are very
well cut around the hips, and fit fair
ly we'll around the waist, and can
without any trouble be made to, fit
perfectly when the additional fitness
IS taken out of the back, and if, in
stead of being fastened with a drawing
string, the fitness is laid in q small
splest and a button and buttonhole
made to fasten the petticoat -Har-.

Lon,on,s Funny Street Names.

At meeting of the Lewisham board
of works considerable amusement was
caused at the announcement of the
titles given by local land owner to
some newly made streets on his estate.
Among the names were Francemary,
Amyruth and Elsiemaud.
Perhaps the most curiously Camed
street in London is Xxx place, Globe
road. The titles of Hocum Pocum
lane at Hither Green, and Kicking
Boy alley have been altered, and there
are fewer unpleasant Pleasant lanes
and unheavenly Angel courts than
there were ten years ago. Every one
has heard of Primrose hill, near Re-
gents park, but it will be news to
many to learn that there is Primrose
hill running off Salisbury square,
which, unhappily, does not resemble
its northern namesake. The quaint
title of Hanging Sword alley still ap-
plies to q passage i'll Whitefriars
street.
Only thoroughfares of considerable
length are permitted by the council to
be called roads. and nos street under
fifty feet in width may be designated
an avenue. London Chronicle.
