1t would be superfuous to praise the
hospitality of American private houses,
but 1t was impossible not to see how
much of 1t is hampered and curtailed
by difficulties of service, of which all
my hosts complained. I hardly ever
ventured to ask for hot water In dress

my boots should be cleaned. My plan
was to place them outside my door, as

white of the Boiled Egg Unat to Eat.

Very few persons can eat the white
Of hard boiled egg with any degree
of comfort. Eggs are highly nutri-
tious and easy of digestion when light
ly or under cooked. The albumen. the
white Of the egg, coagulates as soon
as 1t is dropped into hot water. The
long boiling renders the yolk soft and
mealy, but the white becomes tough
and indigestible and should be dis
carded.-Ladies' Home Journal

Man and Hi. Mother-in-Iaw.

Much has been written about the
mother-in-law, nearly all Of it in COM
planning jest. In all Of the flippant
literature on this subject there is only
one point worthy of consideration
that the writers, almost invariably
men, have never tried TO veil their in

even in his most playful moods, to the
substantial worth Of his mother-in-law.

Not few plants are as truly carnivorous
as a tiger, catching their prey, converting
their structure for the time being into a
stomach, and digesting the nutritious parts
Just as we do our dinner. Our Dogs and
mountains are studied with the attractive
little sundew Orosera rotundifolia and
longifolia. From a loose rosette of bat
tledore-shaped leaves rises the panicle OF
somewhat inconsptcuous flowers. Inc
leaves are thickly sprinkled with bright
red tentacles, each crowned with a tiny
drop of sticky mucilage. which glitters i'll
the sun and gives the plant its name. But
woe to the fly that Is attracted by Its
beauty! Once let him light upon 1t. and
there is no escape; the mucilage holds him
fast There is a story somewhere OF an
Englishman who won a large sum at
gambling house in Paris. Unwilling to walk
the streets at night with so large sum
about him, he was persuaded to engage
room in a lodging house next door. Fortu-
nately for him, he was too excited to sleep.
for in the still hours he suddenly became
aware that the tester Of the bed on which
he was lying was slowly and silently de-
scending to smother him. The feeling of
the fly on the sundew must be somewhat
similar to his. Equally slowly and silently
the tentacles which cover the leaf fold
themselves around him, and when they
expand again there Is nothing left Of the
fly but the wings and the skin, the rest
having been assimilated by the leaf.

1t has always been known that there

Vessels Experience on the Mouth of
the Columbia River.
From the Portland OregonIan.
The British ship Saint Mirren that ar
rived in this morning from Yokohama ex-
perienced peculiar phenomenon last even
ing. 1t was about half-past when Captain
Cordiner the bar pilot. boarded her from
the pilot schooner San jose The wind at
the time was blowing light from the south,
and there was only moderate swell on.
Suddenly the sea to the southwark was
seen to be In commotiop, as IL a hurricane
was blowing, but the wind did not increase
as an immense wave approached the YES
sci. The ship was tossed about for over
two hours in sea that would bury her in
the water and then again lift her up and
drop her down. The seas frequently wash
ed clear over her. After this had continued
for about two hours it subsidized as quickly
as it had arisen. and the wind Immediately
shifted from south to cast, then in short
time to northwest going almost around the
compass in few hours. The wind from
the northwest was soon In the nature of a
gale, and the ship was under lower top
sails during the night, but no injury was
done to her. Captain Hamilton and Cap
tain Cordiner at first thought that tidal
wave was coming but the long succession
of big waves leads them to the belief that
there must have been an earthquake in
that vicinity.
The sef-recording government barometer
in the office of Weather Observer Johnson
of this city shows that about o'clock yes
terday morning there was an electrical or
seismic disturbance In this vicinity and the
telegraph wires also gave evidence Of 1t
at the same time. While the ship was ex-
periencing the waves off the mouth Of the
river the barometer remained steady. This
would indicate that the waves resulted from
an earthquake that happened early in the
morning. and as the effect Of an earth
quake in Japan is felt here ten days later.
1t can be estimated how far away it was.

The vigor with which the Spanish govern
ment is enforcing the collection of the new
taxes seems to inspire confidence at home
in the honesty and ability of the present
financial administration.
On Saturday the per cent bonds of the
government sold on the European bourses
above 20, and the new and purely internal
loan of 1000 million pesatas-nominally
equal to 240 million dollars-designed to
take UP more than half the nations float
ing debts commands a premium in advance
of its issue.
The securities to be taken up are accept
ed at par in exchange for the new bonds,
and those not so exchanged are to be re-
deemed in cash tomorrow While nominally
bearing per cent, the new loan, like all the
other internal loans. is subject to tax of
20 per cent. so that the actual rate is 4
per cent, and as the issue price Is SO the
government actually borrows the money
al a trif1e more than Al per cent.
Considering the recent desperate state of
Spain's finances. the fact that this loan is
taken at premium by her own people Is an
indication Of recuperative power which
furnishes ground for hope of a speedy re-
turn of prosperity to the distressed popula-
ton Of the peninsula.
