on. At last two boats did succeed in
reaching the beach at point where it
sloped very gradually. The crews had
hardly leaped overheard to run their
craft up high and dry when close behind
them in the shadows foamed and rolled
their relentless enemy, just too late to
reach them.
Out Of the large number of we'll

was the unhappy origin Of the whole
trouble, were killed outright. The tri-
umphant avenger of her slain offspring
disappeared as silently as she had car
ried on her deadly warfare, as far as
could be known unhurt, and with an
accumulated hoard of experience that
would if possible render her more of
devil to any unsuspecting whalemen
who should hereafter have the misfor-

ROBERTS ExCLUDED.-By the terms
OF resolution adopted by the House
of Representatives Tuesday, Roberts,
the Mormon member, has been ex-
cluded from participation in all pro-
ceedings of the House pending inves-
tigation of the charge against him by
the committee, and denied seat in
the hall, an unusual proceeding re-
garding person who presents a Ger.
tificate of election in due form. 1t is
virtually prejudging the case and con
victing without testimony. Only 81
members voted for the resolution; OF
the 80 who voted against it, all were
Democrats except two. Whatever
may be the opinion regarding the
eligibility OF Roberts, he was certainly
entitled to fair hearing and the de.
parture from precedent by the ma
jority is only "play to the gallery"
to please ultra good people and some
who cloak their acts so effectually
that they are unsupported.

THE United States, through the De-
partment of State, has officially in
formed the governments OF Great
Britain and Germany that this coun-
try will not accept the terms of the
agreement, respecting the Samoan
islands, which Great Britain and Ger
many reached short time ago. The
United States does not object, it is
said, to the general tone OF the agree
ment, which practically gave to Ger.
many control of the islands, but
minor details are not satisfactory, and
another draft of an agreement has
been presented by the United States
for the consideration of Great Britain
and Germany, which will undoubtedly
be adopted and American sovereignty
in Samoa thus become thing of the
past.

State and Of Patrie of Idaho, to the
Republican party, as an indication
that many fusionists are breaking
from Bryan" and returning like "the

a small thing to crow over, for the
number who are breaking from Bryan
are as corporals guard compared to
the platoons who are breaking to the

late elections. May Joy attend the

THE trial of young McDaniels, in
Portland, on a charge of having muir.
dered Clara Fitch, in Cycle Park, that
city, last Summer, partakes in many
respects of the peculiarities of the
Durrant trial for the murder of
Blanche Lamont, in San Francisco, a
couple of years ago. There is the
same stolidity on part of the accused /;
the same mystery with regard to the
death OF the young woman, and the
same necessity for the prosecution to
base its prospects of conviction on a
chain of circumstantial evidence that
cannot be broken.

it is that Roberts is a polygamist.

The Colfax Conamoner suggests that
if the Republicans see anything smart
or humorous in the suggestion that
the logical ticket for the Democrats in
1900 be Bryan and Aguinaldo, they
might try their risibilities awhile on
the suggestion that Mckinley and the
Sultan OF Zulu would be a happy
combine for the Republican ticket. If

A PATRIOTIC rustler for funds to pay
for welcome to the returning soldiers
at North Yakima, Treasurer of an ex.
ecutive committee self-constituted for
that purpose, put in a bill of $50 for
his services, there being surplus in
his hands. This compensation the
remainder of the committee strenu.
ously opposed, and favored return of
all money left, pro rata, to the donors.
Then the Treasurer" quietly dipped
his hand into the "sack" and trans.
ferred $50 to his own pocket, asking
his colaborers with grin, what they
were going to do about it. 1t is hard
ly probable, however, that that this
summary manner of treating a person.
al claim while holding the money in
trust, will result in much benefit to
him.

least. 1t does not affect all products

versal prosperity induced the hop-rais-
ers to hold their product for big prices
when the sunburst of business thrift
should beam forth in all its glory.
There seems to be no help for it, and
the New York rates run from 10 to IL
cents for the best grades and q to s
cents for mediums, and they are mov-
ing off gradually at these prices. The
Yakima Republic says that the num-
Der of bales shipped from that district
this season is less than 1920, and g.
700 of these have been shipped since

A good many ferns that live in
rooms during the winter come to grief
because they are kept warmer than is
good for them. The atmosphere is
dry and arid, and quite opposite to
the natural conditions under which
most ferns live. A very little thought
would show us how different are the
conditions We are providing. Ferns
greatly enjoy the slight relief afforded
by an hour or two in q lnoister atmos-
phere than we aim at in our living
rooms, and will be improved and
freshened by such change.
Many ferns that are cultivated in
the ordinary greenhouse will grow
well in rooms if they get good share
of light and are not too parched. They
cannot be grown in room in which
there is fire daily all through the
winter and spring. Ferns are also
much spoiled by over watering at the
roots. Although we find them, both
at home and abroad, in fairly moist
positions, their roots are almost al
ways upon bank and beneath trees
or hedges that would throw showers
and absorb the greater part OF the
moisture. None OF our ferns will grow
in a sodden soil. Nor is it we'll to
Lave them in pealy soil alone.
II we cannot sponge over the fronds
of our feathery growing ferns, we can
give them an occasional wash with
the syringe and tepid water. Once
allow them to get dusty and dry, their
pores choked and kept in an arid at
mosphere for long time, they will
soon show thin and unhealthy con-
dition. New England Florist.

A taste can be cultivated among peo-
pie which will create o demand for
evaporated raspberries, or the oppo-
site, no demand at all. AS raspber-
ries are generally taken to the evapo-
rator they are comparatively worthless
so far as quality of the fruit is con-
cerned. Tho reason for this is that
they are allowed to dry up on the
bushes too much before they are
picked, often being knocked of when
they are part dry. thus leaving con-
siderable amount of pieces of dry
leaves, hulls, worms, ETC.. among
them A raspberry, to be in the best
condition for evaporating, should be
well cultivated during picking season,
and the cultivator run as shallow as
possible, stirring all the surface SO as
to keep the moisture in the soil, that
large, plump and juicy berries may be
obtained. They should be picked
when fully ripe, but not let stay on the
bushes any longer. Then all the juices
which arc so valuable to "a tirst-class
article of evaporated fruit are retained.
have no doubt that if evaporators
would insist on their berries being
picked as described above, it would
not be long before the demand for their
particular brand of berries would be
doubled, as this point commission
men and dealers are being more care
full about now than at any time in the
past. l do not understand how an
honest man can place his berries on
the market in an evaporated form after
letting the most of them dry up on tho
bushes before running through the
evaporator, thus leaving them in a
seedy and chippy condition. Charles
@. Nash, in Agricultural Epitomist.

Upon one of his professional visits
to Washington, the late lamented Her
mann, the magician and prestidigita-
tor, almost caused stampede among
the ignorant colored people. To this
day some of them think that Satan
himself was present in person upon
that occasion. One afternoon Hermann
visited the Center Market. On the
pavement outside of the market 1t is
customary for several hundred aged
colored people from the surrounding
country in Virginia and Maryland to
gather on market days and display
their little stocks of dried herbs for
medicinal purposes, wild fruits, few
eggs, or an ancient chicken. These are
the genuine Virginia negroes, every
one of them an ex-slave. They are
quaint and picturesque, and as they sit
behind their baskets and trays the old
women smoke their pipes of home
grown tobacco, and on cold days light
them with chunk of fab" from the
pans of glowing Goals by which they
warm themselves. These ignorant and
simple minded folk had never heard
of Hermann or any other sleight-of-
hand performer. When he appeared
among them in his long cloak, his
pointed beard, and general Mephisto-
phelian appearance, he attracted their
whole attention. When he took sill
yer dollar out of the lighted pipe Of
one of the old mammies, he created
sensation; and when he began to lift
live rabbits, pigeons, suits of linen
underwear, and other articles from
their pockets, he created CONSERVATION.
Many of the old men and women
gathered up their truck" and fed with
loud cries, and for once there was no
market day profits for the old folk

San Francisco's Fire Hustler.

San francisco has a hustler in
Dennis Sullivan, Chief of the Fire De.
partment. There was a little fire in
the city the other day, which was
scarcely started before it was ex,
tinguished. Chief Sullivan was in a
BARRIERS chair when the alarm sounded
with one side of his face shaved. With
out even waiting to wipe the lather
from his chin, he made flying leap
for his red-wheeled wagon, and after
ordering out all the fire engines avail
able, he galloped off to the fire.
1t didn't take long for him to settle
matters, and pretty soon he was back
in the barber's shop, for the com
pletion of his shave. In the chair
where his scraping had been begun,
but not finished, reclined a stranger.
The Chief scowled savagely at the
interloper.
"Do you mean to say" he demanded
of the tonsorial artist, that man
loses his turn just because he turns
his back for minute? This is daisy
shop!"

One of the most famous pairs of
gloves known to the world Is the pair
worn by Mary Queen of Scots on the
morning of her execution, February,
1887, which she presented to gentle
man OF the Dayrell family, who was in
attendance upon her at Fotheringay
Castle. These are of generous pro-
portions, and are described as being
made of a light, cool, buff-colored
leather, the elaborate embroidery OF
the gauntlet being worked with silver
wire and silk of various colors. The
roses are of pale and dark blue, and
two shades OF very pale crimson. The
foliage represents trees, and is worked
in green. A bird in flight, with a
long tail, figures conspicuously among
the work. That part of the glove
which forms the gauntlet is lined with
crimson satin, narrow band being
turned outward as q binding to the
gauntlet, on to which is sewn the gold
fringe or lace, on the points OF which
are fastened groups of small pendant
steel or silver spangles. The opening
at the side of the gauntlet is connect
ed by two broad bands of crimson silk,
faded now almost to pale pink color,
and each band is decorated with
pieces of tarnished silver lace on both
sides. Chicago Record.

Farm life may often be made more
attractive by the use OF taste in the
growing of flowers and shrubs around
the house. When we went out of
town upon our farm few years ago
we set out purple clamatis. AS we
intended to make some changes in the
house, we at first gave the plant a
place in the yard, putting up ladder
for its support. The shrub bios
somed the very first year, and how
beautiful it was. When we had fin
ished the changes in the house, we
took the clematis up and set it out at
the side OF the porch, with wire net
ting to climb upon; there it has since
grown. Every year it has blossomel
profusely. do.not think there was
another plant of the kind for miles
around. People passing by would
stop to admire the beautiful thing and
ask what it was. In short time q
number CT such plants were intro.
ducsd in the neighborhood, SO that
now many homes are made more at.
tractive by its lovely blossoms.
Nothing adds riore to the beauty of
lawn in summer than few growing
plants. They do not require great
deal of time, but they return tenfold
for all labor expended on them. They
speak volumes for the taste and good.
ness of heart of those who rear them.
We have all passed by many places
where the only ornament about the
house was long row Of weeds or un-
slightly bushes along the dooryard
fence, sure refuge for worms and in
sects of various kinds. Why not cut
these out and put in their stead few
flowers? We must learn to do all we
can to make the home attractive if we
would keep our boys and girls on the
farm, and flowers will go good ways
toward doing this. For the money
and time expended upon them, moth
ing will return greater reward than
aowers.-E. L. Vincent, in the Epit.
omist.

There is small reason why Ameri.
cans despite their enormous export
interest in cereals, should fail to be
gratifed at the improved showing of
cereals in Russia for 1898, as against
1897. The improvement is indicated
in harvest, exclusive of Poland and
the Caucasus, averaging for all the
cereals tifty-three pounds per acre, as
against forty seven pounds in 1897.
The Importance of this can be appre-
ciated by those familiar with the heavy
tax burden in Russia, the indebted
ness of nearly all small farmers for
past Government aid, and the pitiable
distress among millions which invaria-
bly, follows the failure or serious cur
teilment of crops.
