went n month ago to lay in a stock
of fall and winter goods. They
found the wholesale dealers well
stocked and thousands of buyers

there buying. Prices as general
thing, are MS stiff as year ago
and wholesalers do not apprehend
any slump in prices for the pres.
ent. The Fassett establishment
being well known in the blg
centers MS a good concern to do
business with can always com
mand the attention of the jobbers
and get the best bargains that are
offered.
Messrs Love and Fassett bought
a very large stock which is now

will get the benefit of good buying
and first class goods.

A WOman'a Invention.

When an alarm of fire is rung up in
any of our large cities, and the en-
gines of but one district are called
out, there is an expense to the depart
ment for fuel and wear and tear of
the apparatus estimated at 500 per
alarm. The turning in of a false
alarm is therefore no trifing matter,
and the perpetrator of the Joke" mer
its condemnation. Miss Ellen +. Tyn-
dale, London woman, has patented
an invention which is meant to check
the false alarmist and put an end to
his pernicious activity. The contriv-
ance takes the form of an automatic
alarm post which not only rings up
the fire station, but also grips the
wrist Of the aarmist with a steel
bracelet, blows a police whistle and
presents the man with a shilling for
his trouble. The prisoner cannot be
released until policeman arrives and
the authenticity of the alarm can be
verified. The invention is not likely
to become popular in this country,
where men would not he willing to be
chained TO a post in a public street,
even for the magnificent compensation
of 25 cents.-Scientifi American.

Very useful work is done by the
adult deaf and dumb institute in
Manchester in keeping up a link of
association and interest among deaf
r41utrs scattered over q large area.
Some travel great distances to take
part in a reunion. in Manchester, that
has now become an annual event. This
year it took place at the Hume town
hall, where a tea party in the evening
was followed by a performance of
"Hamlet,' by deafmutes. Probably
the feeling for dramatic representa-
ton is as strong in them,as in others,
but to those who can hear and speak
it is difficult to imagine that il can be
fully satisfied by signs and gestures,
more especially when they are tram
meled with the rapid and compli-
Gated movements of the finger Ian
guage. The performance was, how
ever, a great success. Last year the
same actors" gave Romeo and Jul
let SO that the success was not al
together due to novelty. The dress
ing of the play was effective, the
scenery was good and there was spirit
in the acting, and the audience,
judged by their attention, felt a real
concern in the development and the
incidents of the play.-London Lancet.

Two hundred aud eighty years

thanksgiving proclamation was is

passed through time of doubt, dis

lay the foundations of new re-

their efforts were to be rewarded
and with grateful hearts they
thanked God for the past and took
courage for the future.
Since that day the American
people have passed through many
ana gneyous trials, but they have
been supported and succored in their
extremity. The fathers, in DAYS of
poverty. disaster and apparent in

"Bymeby Hiyu Cold"
(walla Walla Union.)

A band of Cayuse Indians passed
through Walla Walla yesterday en-
route for Wallula, where they ex-
pect to winter on the banks of the
Columbia river at the old camping
grounds of Chief Honley, whom
they look upon as a martyr. These
Indians predict long, hard winter,
and wrap their blankets closer about
them budding about the govern
ment folds, as they jerk their heads
toward the mountains and say,
Bymebye hiyu SNOW! Heap coldr'
shudder.
Young Long, one of the passing
throng of aborigines, could talk
very good English. The band was
returning from the Salmon river
country, he told a reporter for The
Union, and would winter near the
mouth of the Walla Walla river
where it has been planned to have
one of the old fashioned "potlatch"
dances in the near future. 1t was
already very cold in the mountains.
There will be a great deal of
snow" he said, his remarks being
literally translated. The Indian
knows. He has watched the winter
long and his fathers have told him.
When the cold creeps in from the
north and you tell his presence first
by the knife which is in the air when
you build your tepee fire in the,
morning, then the winter will be
long but it will not be bad. The
cold will go away along the same
trail that he followed when he came.
He will linger i'll the valleys and
where the shadows fall, and it will
be many days before he is gone EN-
tirely, but his teeth will not be
sharp.
When the Indian sees the sum
mer come, not hot but warm and
mild, and last until the sharp is not
in the air long after there should be
ice where the eddy turns in the
pools, then he knows the winter
will be bad When the cold does
come he will bring his army sud
denly down from off the hills and
camp in the valleys and people them
with his SHOWS. Though he may
not stay he will do much damage. :"
That was the prediction of Young
Long, who claims that the winter
of 1902 will be one of the most Sc
we're in the history of the northwest.

Measuring the Earth

After nearly 30 years of constant
effort and the expenditure tof nearly
100000, scientists have succeeded in
accurately measuring the earth. They
have learned that its diameter through
the equator is 1926 miles; its height
from pole to pole, 1899 miles. The
earth, therefore, is fattened at the
poles; and, while this fact has long
been asserted, the actual measure
ment has removed the question from
the domain of doubt Science.
