TO INSURE A FULL SENATE.

Senator Stewart VIII Offer an Addition
to the Statutes.
WASHINGTON, July Ex-senator Stew
art of Nevada said that, in order to OBJ
viate the apparent necessity of an
amendment to the constitution to in.
sure at all times full representation of
states in the United States senate, at
the next session of congress he would
propose that the following paragraph be
added at the end of section 10, title 2,
chapter of the revised statutes:
eff on the third Tuesday after the
organization of the legislature no per-
son has received such majority, then on
that day or on any succeeding day the
person receiving plurality of the votes
cast, a majority of all the members
elected to both houses being present and
voting, shall be declared elected"
This, he believed, will meet the neces-
stiles of the case and insure the election
Of United States senator in every state
at the time specified by law.

Agitation Against Our Peopls.

MANAaUA, Nicaragua, July 27.-The
official and semi official news in Nicara-
qua contains columns daily written to
excite the people against the United
States, declaring that the United States
desires to "subjugate them to it's auth
ority; to annex Nicaragua" and that
the United States authorities paid no
attention to the closing of the port of
Bluefelds by Nicaragua in February,
1899. The true cause is that Nicaragua
recently endeavored to force citizens of
the United States at Bluefelds during
the revolution to pay duties twice.

VALUE OF SWAMP MUCK.

Swamp muck that is free from sand
is valued at from 81 to S5 q ton when
dried, taking the value of its constitu-
ents at the same rate as in artificial
manures or common yard manure. A
ton dried in the air, 80 as to have not
more than O third of its weight Of
water in it, has thirty-two pounds of
nitrogen. thirteen pounds of lime, six
pounds of potash, and three pounds of
phosphoric acid in it, these being
valued at the figures given. To make
use of it, it should be dug in the win
ter, when there is opportunity with
out interfering with other work, and
heaped on the bank of the swamp to
dry, which it does quickly, so that it
may be taken to the barn yard or a
field and mixed with the manure, or
with air Stacked lime, by which it is
decomposed and made fit for use in a
short time. In this way one load of
it is equivalent in value to as much
ordinary manure. The proportion of
lime is as much as may be mixed with
it and give it distinct whiteness
when seen at distance; this will be
about two bushels to two-horse load
cf it.-New York Times.

Spurious Signatures.

In an interview with the President
of a New York bank, who is said to DO
one of the greatest experts in the de-
lection of forgery in the United States,
the question put to him was:
"Will vertical writing lend itself to
forgery?"
Forgery" he answered, ''is not
nearly so clever feat as the public
imagine. Forgeries are perpetrated
because of opportunity not by the
ability to initiate signature. An &C.
centric handwriting is more easily
copied than one which is nearly con-
ventional. One point which may in.
terest the public is that signatures
written with a stub pen are the easiest
to initiate. A thin, fine line will show
certain individuality which is not apt
to escape the attention OF an expert
though it may never be detected by
the forger. Business men care little
or nothing about systems. What they
,, want is legible, rapid writing. Rap.
;idity is not such factor as is often
represented, for it is seldom required.
Nevertheless, when it is wanted, clerks
must be able to comply with the de.
mand. Vertical handwriting can not
blot out individuality. All that the
business world asks is legibility and
at least the present rate OF speed

Poetry Not Wanted.

Il looks as if the life OF the average
poet is to be made even harder il the
future than it has been in past. His
channels of publication have been few
enough, and now one OF the leading
houses in New York has decided to is.
sue no more books of verse by any gu.
thor, save if Holmes, Longfellow,
Whittier or Lowell should happen to
send his manuscript into their Office.
1.-THE fact of the matter 49," said the
head of this book house to me last
week, "the old saw that poetry doesn't
pay is far more true than people
imagine. We have now some twenty
seven volumes of poetry Of all sorts on
our list, and in going over the sales
with our manufacturing man few
days ago 1 learned that we had not
sold 81, 900 copies of all the twenty
seven books, and that figure includes
$4,000 copies of three of the books
the only ones which have really paid
for themselves, to say nothing u get
ting a profit. The people seem to
care less and less for books OF poetry,
and are not buying them even to tne
moderate extent which they did two
or three years ago. And SO we have
decided not to undertake any more
volumes of poetry whatever, except IN
rare instances. And, I assure You,
they will have to be very rare indeed.
We are through with poetry. "--'

How Iceberss Break From Glaciers.

The number of bergs given off varies
somewhat with the weather and the
tides, the average being about one
every five or six minutes, counting
only those large enough to thunder
loudly, and make themselves heard at
distance of two or three miles. The
very largest, however, may, under
favorable conditions. be heard ten
miles, or even farther. When large
mass sinks from the upper 6ssured
portion of the wall, there is first
keen piercing crash, then deep, de-
liberate, prolonged, laundering roar,
which slowly subsidies into low, NUT.
tering growl, followed by numerous
smaller, grating, clashing sounds from
the agitated bergs that dance in the
waves about the newcomer as if in
welcome; and these again are followed
by the swash aud roar Of the waves
that are raised and hurled against the
moraines. But the largest and most
beautiful of the bergs, instead of thus
falling from the upper weatbered por-
ton of the walls, rise from the sub
merged portion with etill grander
commotion, springing with tremen-
dous voice and gestures nearly to the
top of the wall, tons of water stream
ing like hair down their sides, plung-
ing and rising again and again before
they finally settle in perfect poise,

Peculiar Malady Among Squirrels.

Relief from the squirrel pest, which
has threatened to utterly ruin the
farmers of the southern and south
eastern part of Whitman County: in
Eastern Washington, seems to be at
hand. Recent reports from different
points of the afflicted district are to
the effect that instead of the immense
increase in numbers which had been
predicted from the early appearance
of the squirrels, there is a marked de-
crease over last year, amounting in
some instances almost to their extinc.
ton.
The cause is not thoroughly under
stood, but is believed to be the preva-
lence among them of fateful cpl
zootic.
At several places around Penewawa
they are reported to be dying in ap.
preciable numbers. and examination
has shown the squirrels to be covered
with scabs. A. L. Daniels, living
near Penewawa, says the animals in
his neighborhood no longer run MIN.
bly, about, and in many instances drag
their hind parts. In fact, they are SO
badly used up that man can walk up
to them. George Smith reports n
similar condition in his neighbor-
hood, and in other sections the dimin-
ution in the numbers of the squirrels
has been noticed, though the cause has
not been determined. Portland lore.
