says that he rather enjoys his studies, as

athletic work.
1t would be too bad, after all, il the

drive such a lot of lecturers and explorers
out Of the business.

more than ordinary accuracy, says the

OIL his loft cheek, the size of which is reg

up until it becomes q mere speck, but

to swell and keeps on until it becomes sew

A new prune is said to be introduced
by Lewis Bros, Russellville, Ore, called
the Sugar prune. This prune was brought
out by Burbank, of California, as the re-
suit Of long trials in combining the ia
miliar species. 1t is said to dry heavier
than the Italian, yields with the French
and the trees grow strong and large, and
indicate considerable hardness. One of
twenty days before the Italian.
italian prunes dry at about IS to 40 lbs
per 100 green. The sugar prune is said to
dry at an average of u ounces per pound,
which is slightly less than half the weight
of the green fruit. This increased weight
of the dried sugar prune is attributed to
the greater quantity Of sugar it contains,
which seems 10 be generally conceded
from other tests. 1t is also reported bet
ter than the italian in point of evapora-
ton, as the relative quality of juice is less.

Piling and Fishing.

Capt. r. e Davis, of Decatur island,
Republican candidate for the Iegisla.
ture in San Juan county, came up this
morning from Seattle Oh his way home
after n months absence. He is Ell
gagged in experimenting the building
OF rcvetinents along the Skatgit river
below Mount yernon and us far up as
Sterling, to protect the banks. Tli.
work will last until about Christmes.
Capt Davis is also quite heavily inter
ested in the fishing business, with Mr.
Myers, of Seattle. They are still opcr
ating three :rHps, 5u,la conla,u With
other trapmea and cannerymen report
the seasons catch very small. In reply
to question as to whether he thought
the poor results this year indicated any
serious danger to the fishing industry,
Capt. Davis said he thought not.
Twelve years ago, he said, when there
were 10 traps or canheries on the
Sound and there was nothing to check
the passage Of the fish to the Fraser
river. hardly enough were caught there
to feed those engaged in the Industry.

it Is most gratifying to record that
there was no reward Of merit given by
the silk jury to any country, from the
Grand Prix to Honorable Mention,
that the silk manufacturers of the
United States did not receive. In the
silk production Of the world France
comes first, aud next to France comes
the United States.
According to statistics furnished by
the silk jury of the Paris Exposition,
France produced last year, in the silk
industry, $4,000, 900 francs, or about
$l22, OO0, goo, or about 333 per cent of
the total silk industry of the world.
The United States produced 425, 600, 900
francs, or about $S5, O0O, O0O, or 233 per
cent. Germany comes next. The
United States produces more silk rib
bon than any other nation, its produc-
ton In this line last year being about
l2O, 00O, 900 francs.
In all kinds of production in manu-
features, in machinery, in the varied
in art, the United State
stands foremost of all the nations of the
earth, as is shown by the splendid re-
suits achieved, and by the awards and
prizes given to America.

made the circuit of the grounds Mrs.
