At night the weary old doctor sat
down and noted as usual the condition
OF his patients-the rag man, picking
up; the editor rapidly declining; the
dentist, may pull through; the post
master, must go; the deaf mute, still
complaining; the painter, more bad
signs; the miser, barely living; the
major, rallying; the cashier, gone; the
actor, on the last stage; the butcher,
less fat on bones; the cobbler, mend
ing; the Jail prisoner, will be out soon ;
the lawyer, speeches.; the two groc-
ers, on the verge of dissolution; the
musician, toning up; the carpenter,
improving; Jones boy, bad and grow
irg worse; the barber, saved by close
shave; the banker, failing; the book
maker, will not last long; the pugilist,
striking improvement.

Music at meals is now the thing in
the metropolitan cities of the country.
In New York City afternoon tea drink
ers beguile an hour or so listening to
the yodelings Of blue and white clad
Tyrolean quartette, or the guitars and
mandolins OF Neapolitans attired in
white trousers with gorgeous and vol
luminous sashes. Other fashionable
hotels entertain after-theatre habitues
in palm garden with seductive music
by a hidden harpist. Another we'll
known place seats it guests at tables
in a cellar, while at the farther end a
band of Gypsies discourse the weird
music Of the Hungarian composers.

Now that everyone is more or less
alarmed over the contagion OF small
pox any remedies for the cure of the
disease are eagerly sought after. A
short article is going the rounds of the
press in which Edward Hine, a dis
tinguished English gentleman, says:
~ am willing to risk my reputation
rs a public man, if the worst case of
small pox cannot be cured in three
days, simply by the use OF cream of
tartar. One ounce dissolved in a pint
of water, drank at intervals, when cold,
is certain, never failing remedy. 1t
has cured thousands, never leaving a
mark, never causes blindness and
avoids tedious lingering" A very
simple remedy, if effective.

the sun, May Goth, and will be visible
throughout the United States. The

morning and continue nearly two and
a half hours. The second is partial

throughout the United States. The
third is an anular eclipse of the sun,
November 21st, invisible in America.

The wage-worker is getting better
wages in all parts of the country.
There are comparatively few persons
unemployed who are really anxious to
earn their living. The fact that there
is work to do for those who are willing
to work is the most gratifying feature
of the situation. Whether the rise in
the rate of wages constitutes an ade-
Quate set-otf for the increased cost Of
living which has followed upon the
general advance in prices is a question

WEALTH OF WASHINGTON.

the Northern Pacific immigration
has issued second PAM
phlet of its series on the state OF
Washington, its resources and bust
nesses OF profitable investment.
The center-piece is n map of the
state with small bird's-eye view Of
Seattle and her cities. In the center
stands characteristic figure of Uncle
Sam, surrounded by scenes from all
the varied industries of the state. The
figure is erect, the right hand extend
ed, with the index finger pointing ac-
cross the broad Pacific to the COM
mercial markets of China, Japan,
Korea and the Philippines. The pic
ture itself is a vivid one of the present
and future business of the state, as
directed from Puget sound.
After dealing extensively with the
grain area Of the Palouse, Big Bend
and other similar districts, the great
fruit region OF the Yakima valley and
other eastern and central Washington
fertile fields, a large amount Of space
is devoted the timber, fisheries, agri-
cultural and mineral wealth of the
Western slope.
In speaking OF the timber, it says:
"On the western slope of the Cas-
cade mountains there is one of the
finest bodies of timber to be found in
the United States, or, for that matter
in any part of the globe. The princi.
pal variety is the Douglas fir, but
cedar, hemlock, spruce and ash grow,
too. 1t is estimated that there is to-
day as much standing timber in West.
ern Washington as there ever was in
Michigan, Wisconsin and Minnesota
put together. The value of the Doug.
las fir lies largely in its combination
of strength and lightness. For bridge
timbers, car stills, door stills, and other
purposes whese great strength is re.
quired it has been proven stronger
than oak, and one-third lighter. 1t
has completely displaced all other
woods in the construction OF railway
car frames on the Pacific coast, and ii
is finding its way further East every
year, as the Eastern lumber DISTRICTS
become exhausted. The construction
OF the Burlington road to Billings,
Mont, has opened a market in the
middle Western states for Washington
lumber.
"The shingles manufactured from
Washington cedar can now be found
in all the markets of the Middle states
where they can hold their own, despite
the distance they have to be- brought,
with those OF any other section.
Washington hemlock, too, is con-
sidered superior for tanning purposes
to that found in any other part OF the
United States, and considerable guam
titles of the extract made from its
bark is shipped to Europe.
Washington lumber has already
found its way into all parts of the
world. Frequently score or more Of
vessels from Africa, England, New
Zealand, China, Japan, Australia, and
other parts can be seen at one time
being loaded with lumber from the
mills. The construction OF the Nj
caragau canal, reducing as it will the
ocean voyage about one-half, is certain
to give a wonderful impetus to all
branches of the numbering industry
in Western Washington"

Those who are aliv, today will see

Few persons living h.. !, seen this hap

again. for it occurs Gully in the last
year ola century, and not then if the.
number OF the century is divisible by
400 At the end of the next century
in the year 1000 there will be leap
year and 20 days in February as usual;
because 1000 is divisible by 400.
Through the act of an inscrutable
Providence, the earth does not make
its revolution around the sun in
certain number Of days, and when 1855
days were allowed for year, the year
was IL minutes and Ia seconds too
long. This soon got things out OF
whack, as the overtime amounted to
day in 12S years. Finally to put
things to rights, it was arranged to
add one day to February, the shortest
month, every four years, and as this
overdid the thing by three days in 400
years, it was ordered by Pope Gregory
that this additional day be omitted in
all the century years except those
which are multiples Of 400.
