accomplish this in several ways
First of all they decided that there
ought to be convenient place for
everybody to secure good drinking
water Fl. W. Livingstone at once
agreed to supply this need by fur.
nishing a handsome drinking foun-
tain, which he allowed the ladies to
select, and viii turn it over to them
to present to the city. The foun-
tain has been ordered from Detroit,
Mich, and will reach here in a few
days. 1t is made Of iron in a hand
some design, stands 5 feet inches
high and the base is II inches in
diameter. 1t will probably be
placed at the corner Of Wall and
Main streets in front of Mr.. Liv-
ingstone's store.
The next idea of the ladies is to
furnish rest, toilet and nursery
rooms for the convenience Of the
wives and children of the farmers
when they come to town. For this
purpose three rooms have been Sc
cured. One will be fitted up with
all the modern conveniences of a
toilet room. Here the wives and
daughters Of the farmers can come
after the dusty drive to the city,
wash, clean up and arrange their
clothing.
Another room viii be provided
with comfortable chairs and lounges
where the women can rest and visit
while their husbands are transact
ing business
The third room will be fitted up
as a nursery, whore the babies and
little children can be left by the
parents while they are doing their
shopping. The rooms viii be IN
charge of a matron who will look
after the little ones and see that
visitors are made comfortable.

The observation of the first
straw day" in Walla Walla coun-
ny seems to have been successfully
carried out The farmers all com.
bined and hauled straw and placed
on the dusty roads most frequently
travelled, as it has been found that
if straw is laid along the highways,
the dust does not rise, and travel
ing this time of the year is made
more endurable. The Walla Walla
people have taken hold of this new
Improvement of summer roads with
enthusiasm, and their example
might be followed with good re.
suits by the Palousers. We GER
tainly have the straw-and dust

DURING the last decade the av-
erage term Of life has increased
four and one-tenth years in the
United States In 1890 the aver
age death age was 81 years; in
1900 the average death age was
$50 years This increase in the
span of life is claimed to be due to
the progress Of medical science,
improved sanitation in the great
centers of population, and better
understanding of the laws of health.

Now that Sir Thomas Upton is
IN this country, and his Shamrock
has been inspected by New Workers
In dry dock, speculation is in order
as to his chances of lifting the Am
erica's cup. While it is not def
nltely settled whether the Column
bla or the Constitution will be Sc
iected to defend the cup against
Shamrock II, it is safe to predict
that the Constitution will be chos-
% The Columbia, it will be re-
s. mbered, beat the first Shamrock
the two races that were com
- Ell by ten minutes and six and
Sc half minutes. This would rate
the Columbia between eight and
nine minutes faster over a thirtv-
mile course than the old Shamrock
Sir Thomas Upton stated on his
arrival in New York that his new
Shamrock was at least nine min
utes faster than the old Shamrock
and that the old Shamrock this
year was five to ten minutes faster
than she was in 1899. On the face
of things this statement bodies i'll
for the American racer. But there
is every reason to suppose that the
Columbia this year has improved
in her sailing qualities as much as
has the old Shamrock. Therefore
it is safe to say that the Columbia
is still eight to nine minutes faster

that as far as the wheat supply is
concerned the world faces condi-
tons not unlike those existing four
years ago, when q partial failure of
the foreign crops occurred stimuli
taneously with heavy production
in the United States The result
was that this country had an uEus-
ually large export surplus which it
was able to sell abroad at uncom-
monty high prices 1t may not be
that wheat will reach the figure at
tanned in 1897, but from present
calculations the entire surplus Of
this country will be required to
satisfy foreign demands and under
such conditions it is probable that
high prices will rule.
The conditions of the foreign
wheat supply, upon which prices in
this country depend largely, are set
forth in recent issue of the Mark
Lane Express. This authority de-
clares that France, which usually
produces enough for home con
sumption, will not raise over 300,-
100000 bushels, thus making it
necessary to import some 60,000,-
900 bushels. The yield in the ter
ritory of northwestern Europe is es-
timated at 396.000,000 bushels and
the requirements at 664,000,OO0,
thus leaving 268,0900O0 bushels to
be imported. This required i'm
portation is what the surplus of the
United States will be if the home
needs are taken at 400,0O0,O0O
bushels and the surplus at 675,-
100000 bushels.
The Express says that the prin-
cipal competitors of the United
States, Egypt and India, will have
nothing for export this year, while
the surplus of Russia, Argentina,
Australasia and the Balkan states
will be exhausted in supplying the
import needs of Italy, Austria
Hungary, China and the Spanish
peninsula. This means that there
will be ready market for the en-
tire surplus of this country, with
strong probability that the Amer
lean farmer may name his own
price, as he did in 1S97-1S98.
AS ar indication that foreigners
are aware of their future demands
1t is to be noticed that the recent
exports have been unprecedentedly
large. The July exports of wheat
this year were over 100000
bushels, as compared with only
100000 year ago. The August
record is even more remarkable
During the week ending August 10
over 100000 bushels were cleared
and this was followed in the sue
ceedlng week by 100000 bushels
Last week this phenomenal expor-
tation continued, the clearance for
last Monday being the unprece
dented total for a single dav of
l.754, 900 bushels.
1t is believed that foreigners in
view Of the prospective shortage
have had the foresight to contract
for wheat so that they would no.
be compelled to supply their needs
while prices were being forced up
on a wave of speculation. This
may prevent any wild advance such
as prevailed three years ago, but
the prices are pretty certain to be
above the average, and, as the
yield is large, the returns to the
farmer may closely approach the
figures of 1897-1S9S.-Spokesman-
Review.

Next season John H. Stoddart, the
vteran actor, will appear in New York
as the star Of Kirke La Shelle's pro-
duction Of Beside the Bonnie Br1er
Bush. He will play the role of Loeb
Ian Campbell, and according to his
present intentions he will bid farewell
to the stage in that character. The
decentralization of Ian Maclaren's novel,
originally made by James Macarthur,
was rewritten some time ago by Au-
gustus Thomas. Mr.. La Shelle has
engaged Reuben Fax and John ]. Jen-
nings for the supporting company.

costumes are among the loveliest
worn on the musical stage, and she
plans them all herself. When singing
in New York Nine. Gadski lives in a
suite at the Hotel Cambridge, with
her husband and little girl, who is the
picture of her blonde German mamma
and has a great gift for music. Nine.
Sembrich is another well-dressed
prima donno. and Emma Fames' cos
tunes are among the most attractive
worn at the operate stage.
Nine. Eugenia Mantelli, who was

THE PAPABoTE.
Bird That is Delicious Eating in Spite
Of Its Bistering Food.

''You would scarcely suppose, said
ex-Mayor Frank Holland. Of Dallas,
Tex, chat bird that fattened itself
on an insect which will blister your
flesh almost as quickly as the burn
ing head of parlor match would be
such table luxury, but there is such
a bird, and compared with it your
woodcock on toast is commonplace.
Few persons in the north ever heard
of this bird, guess, much less ever
tasted one; but everyone knows
Spanish fly.
"The bird is called the papabote,
and folk who profess to be sharps on
such things say it belongs to the
plover family. 1t is about the size of
the woodcock, with sober gray plum
age and short, hard bill. The coming
Of the Spanish fly upon foliage in the
localities it frequents is sudden and
mysterious. No one knows whence
it comes or whittier it goes. 1t dis
appears as mysteriouly as it comes.
It is most destructive insect, coming
in countless myriads, and eats raven
ouly of growing thing. But the papa
bote comes with it, stays until the
fly disappears and consumes millions
of the pests. The birds grow so fat on
this corrosive insect that they become
literally balls covered with feathers.
When they fall before the hunter they
burst open like ripe fruit.
"The hunter who goes out with dog
and gun expecting to fill his bag with
papabotes after the manner of the
scientific hunter will return without
any. The papabote is the shyest of
birds, and can be approached within
gunshot in only one way, for, unlike
all known game birds, it will not
crouch to the dog. 1t is heavy of wing,
keen of sight and hearing and rises

long before the hunter is in range, re-
sembling in this respect your COM
mon meadow lark. It can be shot In
no really sportsmanlike way and only
by using a horse and wagon. The bird
will permit horse to walk quite close
to it, and the hunters take advantage
Of this, and in open buggies and spring
wagons ride about among the feeding
grounds, and drop the birds as they
rise on every side in easy range.
"The papabote is considered so
much Of delicacy in Texas and
Louisiana that small armies of men
and boys make it highly profitable

it's season. There is not a case on
record, it is asserted, of person once

MAKES ICE OF LIQUID AIR.
Startling Experiment by Louisiana
Scientist.

New Orleans, La, March 31.-In his
lecture room at Tulane University
Prof. A. L. Metz succeeded in making
a small block of solidified air which
was as substantial flor the time
being) as a block of ice. 1t was
about an inch in diameter and lasted
about fifteen minutes fully exposed.
He laid it on an anvil and as he struck
it the hammer bounded off as though
it had been a piece of rubber. 1t was
so intensely cold that no one could
touch it with his fingers.
Taking a large test tube about eigh-
teen inches long and over an inch in
diameter, Prof. Metz put liquid air
into it, filing it to within six inches
of the top. He then corked it, and
through the cork inserted a bent
glass tube connected with his vacuum
apparatus, the full power of which
was applied in order to induce rapid
evaporation.
The volume of air remaining in the
tube was found solidified in a lump
little more than an inch deep. In or.
der to extract this it was found neces-
sary to break the test tube and then
the lump of solid air was fully ev-
posed to the action of the atmosphere
