A New Mouse Trap.
Ledger

My wife sugg gested at least seven
times last week that buy mouse
trap, writes lame editor. A number
OF mice have been boarding at our
house since our cat died of spinal men,
ingetis of the shotgun barrel. We can
hear them nights, counting the lead
spoons and slipping around over the
company pie and ice cream salt sack.
The fact that we needed a mouse
trap kept slipping my mind until,
finally, I put a piece of cheese il my
pocket. to keep me posted. That was
the day I bought the mouse-trap. 1t
wasn't one of those round traps full OF
knot holes, springs, and red paint that
mice heard about and been warned
against for the last hundred years.
This trap was new invention, and
the directions raised their right hand
swear that mouse can't go within
two feet of it without being caught.
While it only catches one mouse at a
time, it makes lot OF noise doing that
and one who isn't sleeping harder than
iron is awakened, and the trap can be
reset with little exertion.
It is an innocent little thing, but
wicked in its movements. 1t was plan
ted near the bureau, the first highland
near the river the second. | was to re-
set it after the first mouse had wrestled
from liberty to dea th.
1t did not seem to be good night
for mice, but long towards morning
the wind began to blow long and loud.
/ was Just getting over towards the
window to close it, when the big toe
on my right foot struck the trap. II
worked. | thought some one had struck
me with an ak which had a dull mouth
piece; but it was the trap, eating away
on my foot like a hungry horse. II
took me ten minutes with a claw ham
mer to get that trap of, and / intend to
leave it off.

ABSClUrEY Pure
Makes the food more delicious and wholesome
Tacoma Mill Rushed with Orders

The possibilities of an immense
modern sawmlll are being illustrated
by the present situation at the Taco
ma mill, says the Tacoma Ledger.
With fleet of the combined tonnage
OF 1881, containing four Of the larg-
est ships in the lumber trade, the
mill is going to pull out Without pay
ing cent demurrage unless some
thing unforeseen happens. The larg-
est of these ships, the Olivebank, for
Delagoa bay, carries 100000 feet,
which has rarely been surpassed by q
lumber ship from the coast. She has
been the hardest to fill, and although
from $4,000 to 100000 feet day went
into her for weeks, it hardly seemed
Tor time to make an impression on
on the vacant hold. Now, however,
the lumber is approaching the deck
and she will probably be finished by
next Thursday.
The Corunna, loading for Iquique,
has the shortest time before the Law
days expire, and will be under demur-
rage unless loaded by week from last
night. Manager Hill has no doubt,
however, that she will be able to pull
by that time. The Corunna is also a
big ship, carrying 100000 feet.
The Andrada is of the same line as
the Andelana. She carries 100000
feet, and is loading for London. Every
foot of her cargo must be clear, which
makes her hard to fill. The Castor is
the smallest ship at the mill and car
ries |, 100000 feet. She is loading ior
Delagoa bay.
Besides these large vessels there is con-
stantly coming and going fleet OF
coasters of from 375 to 1000 tons
each, which load and set away again
in a week or ten days. There are al
present three schopners at the mill
| including the William Renton, the
Annie Larsen, and the G.. W. Watson.
The Watson was one of the frs
schooners down from Kotzehue sound
last fall, and at that time beached al
Old Tacoma for repairs to her bottom
with such success that she is repeat
ing the experiment this time
The mill is cutting about 375,O0C
feet day, and with the lumber on
hand, puts from $4,000 to 100000 into
each of the four large ships daily
The lumber is hauled aboard by the
ships steam winches, and the steve
dores have only to stow it in the hold.

Eastern Oysters and Ours.

A young girl from the state of Wash
lngton, who came East to visit a
Western senator's family last winter,
had an experience she hasn't forgotten
yet. The first few days of her stay
in the capital were spent there, and
her meals were served in her room.
On the very first evening she ordered
oysters for dinner. Now, she knew
nothing of real life-sized oyster, hav-
ing spent all her days on the Pacific
coast, where oysters are not oysters at
all, but something altogether different.
She was young and exceeding mex
perienced, and she said to the waiter:
"Brng me fifty oysters"
The waiter gasped.
"Is that all?" he said.
ooh, no." she answered cheerfully.
"Bring Newell, dinner, too."
She says herself that she had to
shut her eyelids tight to keep her eyes
from popping clear out of her head
when she saw the fifty oysters.
"Isn't that more than fifty?" she
asked.
"No, MISS" answered the waiter.
"Shall take some away?" and he
grinned. 1t was the grin that did it.
Her Western blood rose at it.
"No," she said, coolly. "It's not too
many. Pm hungry"
She locked the door after the aston
ished waiter, and opened the window
1t was dark night, but she could see
the roofs or the adjoining houses al
most within arms reach beneath her
window. Only narrow alley separat-
ed the buildings. She took fork,
and deftly and dexteriously, one by
one, she flung the oysters as far as she
could. She could hear them fall
MOSTLY, softly, fabbily upon the roof
opposite. When the waiter returned
two oysters lay on her plate. His
eyes rolled wonderingly at her.
"Was-was the oysters good?" he
asked, and he did not grin.
"Fairly good" she made answer,
calmly; "but | wasn't really hungry;
after all. y

Rapid growth in our oriental COM
merce is becoming matter Of general
note. An advance summary of the re-
suits of the current fiscal year are given
in Washington special to the P.-I.,
and are O. interest. Says the correspon-
dent: Exports of merchandise from
the United States to China in the fiscal
year about to end will be larger than
those of any preceding year in our his
tory. A decade ago the exports to
China were less than S., 600, 900, and
to China and Hongkong combined
were little over $6,O00,000. In the
fiscal year 1889 our exports to China
will be more than $13, ,O00, 900, and to
Hongkong more than SC, ,000, GOO, maxi
ing a total to China of over $40, ,000, 600
or more than three times as much as
that of decade earlier. That the
bulk of the exports to Hongkong may
properly be considered as ultimately
destined for consumption in China is
shown by the fact that over A per cent
of their imports are from the port of
Hongkong. The 1899 exports to China
and Hongkong combined will show q
gain Of nearly or quite % per cent
