Fruit Shipments From
Idaho.

The gross returns of thirty.s six
cars of prunes shipped from Boise,
Idaho, this season amounted to SAL
poo, the figures in detail being Civ
en- by local paper as follows:
''It costs 1927 to ship car of "a
200 pounds to Boston, and $40 ad-
ditional for refrigeration. The char
ges Of the fruit company and auction
houses amount to seven per cent.
On the car bringing 81 ,453, this
commission amounted to SOL. 70,
making the total for freight, ice,
and selling, $543.71, the net return
being $909,29 per car.
1t costs, for boxes and packing,
1926 per car of 900 crates. This
leaves $784.29 as the net value of
the car of fruit under consideration
There are 81 900 pounds of prunes
in such car, the value Of the fruit
thus being shown to be 1913 cents
per pound, exclusive of all expense
Of packing, shipping, and selling.
This makes the value of the product
of an acre of well loaded prune.trees
nearly 81, 000."

He Couldn't Stand 1t.

Two well-known local Irish char
acters were leaning against the bar
rail in Howard Street saloon, the
other night, when Flaherty, the
hack driver, inquired of Gallagher;
Chow are yeez on u coonundrum ?"
"Foin!" was the answer; but
O'iYe not had one for some toim.
To tell we tn trut, Olive been drink
in stame beer lately"
"O'im not talkin' of drinkin'
stame beer are yeez good on guessin
things?"
"Oi can guess anything that
walks"
"Well, thin, why is it that all
the rich Germans refuse ter use
green robes in their carriages?"
A pause and then the reply came:
81 dunno"
Because they think they're
Mike-robes," said Flaherty.
A little later they were both on
the way to the police station in the
patrol wagon which had been called
-Spokane( Wash.) Outhurst.

some have complained Of the odor
as sickly sweetish and empowering
The whole stratum, and the earth
on each side of it, has The same per-
fume. Just how the stone became
so thoroughly permeated with this
odor seems impossible to determine
There have probably always been
sweet leaves growing in that vicin-
ity, but as there are four or five feet
OF soil on top Of the stratum of stone
it was probably deposited there cen
turtles ago, and had been wasting
iteelf on the desert air ever since.
If it were harder, the stone might
be cut into sachets or indestructible
perfume tablets. If it were used to
build the walls Of church, the
perfume would be stronger and last
longer than that of the musk in the
Mosque of st. Sophie in CONSTANT
nople. Perfumed stone is rarity
and specimens of this will be sent
to some scientists to be analysed.

FOOLSCAP,

Every one knows what foolscap paper
is, but not every one knows why it was
so called. An exchange ventures to re
mark that not one in hundred that
daily use it can answer the question.
The Morning Star tells how the term
originated:
When Oliver Cromwell became Protec
tor, after the execution OF Charles | he
caused the stamp of liberty to be placed
upon the paper used by restoration of
Chas. II having occasion to use some
paper for dispatches, some of this Cover
ment paper was brought to him.
Unlocking at it, and discovering the
stamp, he inquired the meaning of it,
and, on being told, he said:
"Take it away have nothing to do
with FOOLS cap"
The term "foolscap" has since been
applied to certain size of glazed writ
ing,paper.

CHARACTER.

It is not the amount Of money, the
amount of power, the amount of braius
that a man has that is his distinguishing
feature but hie character. Whatever fell
low men may temporarily say or do to
che contrary this is fact that what sep
Arates him from others and gives him
his individuality III his goodness or lack
Rf goodness according to its degree.
Money, power and brains have their
place, and they do exert an influence in
temporarily deciding mans position and
recognition, But the standard OF the ages
by which any one and everyone is tried,
is character ;and in Gods sight, which is
the final and determined sight, men are
what they are in their wishes and pur-
pose 1t is moi, then, too much to say that
the supreme ambition of PERSONS life
Ahould be to secure q worthy character.
Everything else, however important
merely subsidiary Beauty OF person, bril-
liant achievement, acuteness of intellect,
sway of authority are secondary, while
goodness is primary.

Shark Skins for Leather.

1t now seems possible that a new
industry may spring up on Puget
Sound, 1t is the manufacture of
leather out of what has heretofore
been a waste in this locality, says
the Whatcom (Wash.) Reveille.
The skin of a shark makes, if the
samples shown are fair representa-
tiyes, most superior leather. 1t
is thin, exceedingly strong, and ab-
solutely waterproof. Ordinary
leather shows its porous character
on ordinary inspection; Tanned
shark-skin also shows that it's sur
face is wholly wanting in pores.
1t is said that it never becomes
stiff, does not crack, and wears in
definitely. 1t would seem strange,
at first, if shark-tishing should be-
come an industry.
