It has led to bringing in at least half
development purposes in 1893. among the
most important being the Gold Hill, by

It has also stimulated washington state
capitalists in Seattle. Spokane, walia,
Tacoma, Elleneburg and other places to
begin the opening up Of their holdings in
the district, so that the year 1900 now
promises to far surpass any year since
the discovery of gold on Palmer mountain.
The Post Intelligencer correspondent has
been permitted to examine many of the
plans made for the coming years work
on many Of the above-named properties.
They are Of such a nature that It Is doubt
full whether they will give much encour-
agement to stock boomers. These plans
are intended to SO develop the mines that
at the end of another year a mining en-
gineer can go into them and measure up
their values. 1t Is not improbable that
every company mentioned will be ready to
enter the dividend list in 1901. and without
ever offering to. sell one dollars worth Of
stock on any stock exchange. In fact,
every property mentioned has a well-stock-
ed treasury. sufficient to carry out the
years plan of development adopted. II
Is to be hoped, but hardly to be expected,
that the district will escape the almost
inevitable epidemic of organizations for
strictly stock-selling purposes.

Know When Sunday Comes.

It is an undoubted fact that many
animals are able to tell from other
days the day that comes betwixt the
Saturday and Monday" The trades
mans dog that accompanies its owner
on week days makes no attempt to
turn put On Sunday. Sparrows and
other birds that come to school play
grounds for the unconsideyed trifies
they may pick up at luncheon time do
not show up on Sunday. Ravens,
crows and rocks are most fearless and
do most damage on Sunday, well know
ing that the man with the gun is an
absentee on that day. A dog that
visits for his private ends the bakers
shop every week day morning stays
at home on Sunday. Other dogs that
have been tied up on Sunday have been
known to hide on Saturday
to avoid this interruption of their free
dom.

Rabbits.

Somebody, very learned, once took
the trouble of weighing the brains of
a number of animals and found that
the brain of a tame rabbit weighed less
for it's size than the brain of any other
known creature-much less than that
of a wild rabbit. This is not surpris-
ing, for old br'er rabbit out in the
woods needs to be a clever and enter
prising being in order to pick up a
living, but the tame rabbit is pro-
tected from foxes and from want by
his house and his wire netting. Yet a
tame white rabbit can be accustomed
to anything-even to a fox terrier, as
one boy has found out. In fact, the
terrier is rather perplexed at the
friendly advances of the rabbit. The
order of things is therefore reversed.
Rabbits are pretty pets and are easy
to keep. Moreover, a boy may make
considerable money from his rabbits
if he is shrewd. They need to be fed
cabbage, lettuce. bran and oats. They
love milk thistle, dandelions and such
food, and after the young rabbits at
tain a good weight are readily sold.
But most rabbit owners become at
tached to their pets and regard with
horror their disposal to the butcher.
Consequently they sell them only Is
pets. and find a more restricted market.

Marine Legislation Demanded.

The extent to which the people of
the United States are dependent on
foreign shipping for their s%ea-borne
commerce furnishes a conclusive rea-
son for prompt action looking toward
the rehabilitation of the American
merchant marine. In these days of
open and opening doors, when the
United States is preparing to control
the trade of her new dependencies,
and besides is clamoring for access to
other and bigger markets, it is not
creditable to is as a nation that we
are carrying in American vessels not
more than one-sixth of the total VOL
ume Of American oversee commerce.
1t is in the power of the congress
of the United States, acting upon the
recommendation of President McKin-
ley in his last annual message, to
bring about a radical change in the
marine situation, to so reverse the
case that five-sixths of American
commerce with foreign countries shall
be carried in American ships. There
is a general demand for legislation
with this end in view. The people ex-
pect it.

A Natural Bridge In Arizona.

Natural Bridge, on Pine Creek, in
the northern part of ella county,
Arizona, in one of the greatest natural
~euriosities in the United States, equal
ing if not surprising the Natural
Bridge of Virginia. 1t spans the creek
at a height Of about 200 feet and the
walls of the canon rise above it on
either side 7G0 or 800 feet, and on one
side form a perpendicular precipice.
The bridge is of lime formation, and
the inside of the great arch. which is
some $50 feet across, is worn by the
water as smooth as though chisseled
by the skillful hand OF a stonemason.
The arch on top is nearly, if not quite,
AGO feet in width, 1000 feet in length.
across the canon, and at the thinnest
part only six feet through. About the
center of the arch is a hole large
enough to admit the body of a man,
and through which enc can look down
into the crystal pool of water 200 feet
below.
