TRANSPORTATION

The traffic in Siberia and eastern
Russia is increasing faster than even
the advocates Of the great Trans
Siberian road anticipated. The OBJ,
one of the worlds big rivers, emptying
through the gulf of OBJ into the Arctic
Ocean, has 1O2 steamers and 200 tugs
running already. on the Yenisei, 10
steamers carry the mails regularly.
The mouths of both these rivers We're
visited last summer by English and
Russian ships. This proves the prac-
ticability of connecting eastern and
western Siberia with Europe by water.
The mouth of the OBJ is to be deepened
and wharves are to be built. on the
coast of the USuri country there is reg
ular postal communication between
Nicolajevsk. NladiVostock, and inter-
vening places, as well as connection
with Japanese ports and Port Arthur.
From Odessa and st. Petersburg to
various Asiatic ports runs the social
ed volunteer fleet, established in 1873
1t has IA steamers with ll5,5OO tons dis
placement. In war they can be armed;
in peace they carry freight travellers

Jefferson's Punch Bowl.

Jefferson's original punch bowl was
to have been feature of the Demo-
cratic banquet at Tacoma on the night
OF the 18th, but it was locked up in the
Tacoma express Office, and the ban
quet proceeded without it. The
punch bowl is owned by C. E. Clay, of
Elma, proprietor of the hotel Elma.
He is distantly related to the former
president, and his family has had pos
session of Jefferson's punch bowl for
12O years.
Mr.. Clay intended to attend the
banquet, but finding he could not be
present, consigned the punch bowl to
the Hotel Tacoma, in care of James
Hamilton Lewis. A note accompany
ing the bowl explained its history.
Colonel Lewis was detained by slow
trains and the punch bowl could not
be procured from the express Office.
The punch bowl incident worried
the Democrats, and it was discussed at
length among those who knew the
circumstances. After several plans for
procuring it had been declared imprac-
tical, the leaders decided not to wait
longer, and at 9:O5 o'clock the $50
Democrats filed into the banquet hall.

Horrors Of War.

1t is estimated that since the days
Of the Trojan war no fewer than l.
200 100000 men have been sacrificed
on the altar of the god OF war. If it
were possible to gather together these
millions of wars victims into one
ghastly army they would form a COL
umn, q abreast, long enough to clasp
the earth at the equator, with a resi-
due OF 10 similar columns stretching
from London, across Europe to Naples.
If the file were to pass a saluting
point at the rate of one every second,
night as well as day, the last " shade"
would only become visible in the au.
tumn Of 1896.
Two and half million men fell on
European battleields during the first
half of this century alone; and this
slaughter cost Europe the colossal sum
OF $6,S20,OOO,OO0. Each victim cost
$2,74O to kill.
A calculation rs careful as is posi-
bic places the total cost OF war during
the last 5000 years at the appalling
sum of $500, ,OOO, 100000.
All the countries of Europe are
spending on their armies and navies
at the rate of nearly $50 a second, or
the almost incredible sum OF $4,000
600 q day.

him to weep bitterly. He never was

Woman's Worst Enemy.

1t has been a hard day and the tired
lines in your face show it. The mus
cles of the face have lost their firm.
ness and the lines about cheeks, and
mouth, and eyes droop wearily. You
look ten years older than you know
you are, and you feel sadder than you
know you have a right to be. Worse
than all, sharp pain shoots from the
left temple over the forehead and
down the sides Of the face. You know
that means nervous headache and a
night of agony, unless something is
done quickly.
Try this cure: Slip off your bodice
and bare your neck. Twist your hair
into loose knot on the top of your
head. Then take sponge and ba-
sin of hot water-just as hot as you
can bear it. Pass the hot wet sponge
slowly and steadily over the face and
forehead for eight or ten minutes,
keeping the sponge as hot as it can be
borne. By that time your face will
look and feel as if it were parboiled.
But do not worry.
Then bathe the back of the neck as
you have done the face, carrying the
sponge each time we'll up the back OF
the head.
Keep this up for some length of
time; then, without looking at your
self in the glass-because that would
be sure to disquiet you-dry your face
and neck softly and 60 and lie down
Hat on your back. Close your eyes
and think just of one thing-how
heavy you are on the couch and how
easily it supports you. That is really
an important part of the cure.
Lie there for half an hour, il you
don't fall asleep. as you probably will.
Then get up and take the deferred
look in the glass. That tired look has
gone, the muscles have regained there
tone, the wrinkles have disappeared,
and best OF all, the darting pain in the
head and the pessimism Of the soul
have left you.

He Did Not Hear His Mother.

The young son of prominent resi-
dent of Oak Park in Chicago is evinc-
ing great diplomatic powers at the
early age of 3. He is very fond Of
bananas and eats all he can obtain of
the yellow fruit, in utter disregard of
his health. The other day he was
with his mother in the library, when'
with earnest zeal, he attracted her at
tention to some object on the street,
when like a flash he darted from her
into the dining.room and, climbing on
a chair, reached his small arms across
the table for the large dish of fruit.
"Clarence, Clarence, come back
herew called his mother, but the
boy paid no heed to her command.
"Clarence, come back here. Don't
you hear me calling?"
The tone was this time severe and
the boy, with banana in each hand
poked his curly head through the
door and answered sweetly; " No,
mamma, 1 don't hear you. You
must call louder

Bible Riddle, or the Wonderful Prophet.

He is not Noah, nor Noah's son, nor
a Levite, nor John the Baptist, nor
yet the Wandering Jew, for he was
with Noah in the ark; the Scriptures
make mention OF him, particularly in
St. John, St. Mark and st. Luke, 80
that we may believe he is no imposter.
He knows no parents, he never lay
upon his mothers breast; his beard is
such as no man ever wore; he goes
bare-footed and bare-legged, like a
grave old friar. He wears no hat in
summer or winter, but often appears
with a crown upon his head. His
coat is neither knit nor spun, nor hair,
silk, linen, or woolen, bark nor sheep
skin, yet it abounds with variety of
colors and fits close to the skin. He
is wonderfully temperate; he never
drinks anything but cold water; he

doctor as a "doctoress" you should be
consistent and call a woman cook q

Don't say "catch" for "reach."
You cannot, for example, "catch" a
boat or car. You may "catch up"
with or overtake" one or the other,
and you may "catch" the chicken-pox
from some one in the boat or car.
You may catch a ball or the bough of
a tree, but you cannot catch boat or
car. "Catch" means literally to seize,
and is, moreover, pronounced as
though spelled "katch" not "ketch."

PATE DE FOlE 6RAS.

The Cruel Way in Which Great DeIieacy is
Produced.
A recent Paris Figaro gives us a
very interesting description of how
that delicacy of delicacies, pate de foie
gras, is made. To the ordinary man
or woman no conception of the tor
ture to which the poor, unfortunate
goose is put could possibly be imag-
ined.
The geese, when about nine months
old. are taken from the pastures and
placed in an underground cellar,
where broad, slanting stone slabs
stand in rows, and are bound fast to
the tables. They are literally cruci-
fed.
Feet, wings and bodies are spread
out and bound by bands, so that only
the head and neck are left free. As
may be imagined, the animal strug.
giles with all its might against this
stretching, till, after days of vain en-.
deavor to free itself from the bands
and its position, its powers of resist
ance are overcome, and dull resigna-
ton, broken only by its low cries,
takes possession of it. Two months
must pass away before death brings
relief.
The animals meanwhile are
crammed with dumplings made OF q
dough OF buckwheat, chestnuts, and
stewed maize. Every two hours, six
times day, they received from three
to five dumpling pills, which in time
become so sweet to the tortured crea.
lures that they stretch their necks to
be crammed.
The most difficult task is to deter.
mine the right moment for death.
Those who die of their own accord are
lost to the liver factory; therefore a
kind of study is needed to see when
the cup of agony is brimming full and
the liver is ripe for taking. The
bodies OF such ripe ones are like pump
kins-where ordinarily fingers are
buried in flesh and fat nothing but
skin and bone is found. The livers
have absorbed all the strength and
juices.

THERE are those who claim that
VIM. j. Bryan is back number; that
he has lost the hold he had on the
hearts of the American people; that
he is "has BEEN" This is q case
where the wish is father of the thought.
No better proof of its error could be
had than was presented at the Clunie
opera house on Sunday night, says the
Sacramento Bee. A rapid sketch art
ist made faithful pictures OF Mckinley,
Bryan and Dewey. The President
was greeted with applause, the hero OF
Manila was cheered to the echo, but
both demonstrations combined did
not equal the one given to the cham.
pion of silver.

Expansion and Imperialism.

The Seattle Review, in reply to Il
contemporary who insists that Jeffer-
son was an expansionist, defines the
kind of expansion that was favored by
the statesman who founded our gov.
ernment, which by no means resem-
bles or includes the imperialistic idea
which dominion over territory all over
the globe involves. In fact the princi-
pie involved in what is known as the
Monroe doctrine" fully limits and
controverts any such assumption.
The Repiew says: Now the fact is
neither Mr.. Bryan nor any other
Democrat opposes expansion. The
Democratic party has always stood for
expansion. The history of the ex-
pansion of this country from a narrow
strip along ths Atlantic coast until it
includes all of the territory from the
Atlantic to the Pacific is but part of
the history of the Democratic party.
Every foot of American territory, ex-
cept Alaska and the recently acquired
Spanish possessions, was acquired un-
der Democratic administrations, and
as the result OF wise Democratic states.
manship. No Democrat is opposed TO
expansion. Democracy means ex-
pansion.
But when our Republican friends
try to tell us that because OF these
facts Jefferson favored policy of i'm
perialism such as is involved in the
Republican method OF an acquisition
and retention of the Philippines they
speak without the book. Jefferson
himself said that while he was in
favor of acquiring Cuba, upon its
southermost point he would erect q
monument of stone and upon it in
scribe Ne plus ultra"
Jefferson was the President of the
United States when we caused the
Tripolitan robbers of northern Africa
to come to terms. On the 9th of
April, 1906 the Tripolitan flag was
hauled down from the battlements Of
Derue and the American flag was
hoisted in its place. We had Tripoli
at our feet. Did Jefferson hesitate
about hauling our flag down and
bringing it home to this land OF
freedom where the flag of freedom be-
longs. History answers no. Jeffer-
son in that wisdom which prompted
the acquisition of Louisiana saw that
our flag had no business in such a
country, and brought it home.

CHILDREN are apt to be unintention-
ally irreverent. A case in point is
that OF a little Chicago girl who
wound up prayer in this way:
"And please, o Lord, take good care
of your yourself, too. If anything
should happen to you, we couldn't
have anyone but Mckinley to depend
on, and he isn't doing as we'll as pa ex-

Effect Of an "H."

A cockney whose name was Ogton,
which he, following the usage Of his
class. pronounced Hogtown, settled at
the beginning of the present century
in the city of New York, where he did
business as trader. His preiixing of
the h was the occasion nf postoffice
story which Dunlap, the author of the
History of the Arts of Design" tells.
Before the clerks of the postoffice
knew Ogton he called day after day to
inquire if there were "any letters for
John Hogtown."
"None, sir" was the invariable an
swer.
"Very strange" said he, feeling un-
easy about the goods he had ordered
from England and the bills of ex-
change he had remitted.
One day after the usual question,
"Any letters for John Hogtown?" his
eye, following the clerk, noticed that
he was looking among the letters be-
ginning with H.
"Ello," cried he, "what are you
looking there for? / said John Hog.
town."
al know it, sir, and / am looking
for John Hogtown, and there's moth
ing for you"
"Nay, nay" shouted John.
"Don't look among the matches; look
among the hoes" And among the O's
were found pile of letters addressed
to John Ogton, which had been accum-
ulating for many a week.
That reminds the writer of similar
instance of obtuseness which occurred
right here in Olympia in the
early Sos. Among the early set
tiers came James C. Head, who for
many years was leading citizen of
our at that time village. Our post
master was Billy" Rutledge, a good
fair honest merchant who kept store
on Main street, with q small frame of
pidgeon-holes behind the counter for
asserting the few letters that came by
the weekly mail for our sparse popula-
ton.
Mr.. Head had called frequently for
letters and was invariably told that
there was Nothing for James C..
Head" He finally expressed surprise
that he had been forgotten by his rel
atives in the far East, and said care
you sure Mr.. Postmaster, that there is
nothing for James C. Head" "Quite
sure," was the response. "There is
nothing for James C. Head, but there

Do you know who he isl? and he held

and so patiently waiting.
"Why, dang it'll they're mine"
shouted the irrate victim. You infer

stands for "James?"
| He got his letters, and there was no
more delay in the delivery of his mail
after that vigorous explosion of right
eous indignation.
