Concerning "whatcom."

The citizens Of New Whatcom,
Washington, assert and publish to the
world that when Uncle Sam lately in.
vited his children to stand up and be
counted, they, the said citizens, were
not counted accurately. The census
gave New Whatcom population OF
less than 1000. The citizens, being
convinced that their numerousness
had been understated, appointed a com.
mittee, which employed enumera-
tors who counted citizens in New
Whatcom up to the number Of 9135,
and swore to their count. New What
com, through it's Commercial Club, Is
difusing the news that 1t Is bigger
than Uncle Sam thinks. 1t is a pleas
ure to aid 1t in spreading word of Its
growth, and also the news that by
act of Legislature 1t is New Whatcom
no longer, but has dropped the "New"
from its name and is now plain What

Rats Clogged the Furnace FIue.

"A Slater man tells n rat story which
he assures a reporter is absolutely
true:
Several days ago, John, the COL
ored man employed by Hull 81 Ed
wards, butchers, went to the slaughter
house." said he, land attempted to
start fire under the scalding vat.
For some unaccountable reason he
could get no draft through the Chin
ney. 1t developed later that on ac-
count Of the earth being warm under
the vat from previous fires, the rats,
which were known to be numerous
about the slaughter house. had taken
refuge under it. There was but one
way for them to get out and that was
to come through the mouth of the
furnace AS they left the furnace
John got stick and began slaughter
ing them. He succeeded in killing 1Oi,
by actual count, and l presume more
got away than were killed. So many
had taken refuge under the vat that
the draft was cut Off After they made
their exit no further trouble was ex-
perienced in making the fire burn.
In addition the rats have been very
scarce round about the other slauSh-
ter houses since the rat killing bee."--

The BEDROOM.

The bedroom, thong. primarily q
place where one may get refreshlb'-
sleep -"sleep that knits up the raw
eled sleeve of care"-is also Il place to
dream in, by day a. well as by night;
a place to rest In when one has an
hour of leisure; a place In short, sa-
cred to ones self, where one may go.
"the world forgetting, by the world
forgot" It's requisites, therefore. are
comfort, restful atmosphere and
such beauty as may be. Very hand.
some or elaborate furniture would
seem out of place IN bedroom, and
In no room are harmonious combin-
atoms more unbearable. The most
successful bedrooms are often found
in unpretentiOus MONIES, because
there simplicity and taste must be
used instead of expense. The Japan
csc believe In banishlpg from ne bed
room everything which Is not really
necessary to comfort. All things use-
full they make as decorative as pos
sible, but . mere ornaments moth
ing Is added, unless 1t be vase con-
tanning flowers arranged as only the
japanese can do. Their custom will
bear consideration by the housewife
of our Western world, for by this
method the utmost neatness, simple
ity and repose are possible. Add
beauty and daintiness and little else
Is left to be desired. Bedrooms so
appointed may be earily kept In or
der and free from dust, that foe to
comfort and health.-Charlotte Whit

SPEED or AN EARTHQUAKE.
Preliminary Tremors Travel at the Rate
or 345 Miles Minute.

"a DAD miAeb " lhhutes
Speaking Of the Indian earthquakes
of 1897, London scientist says the
vibrations Travelled to Europe, where
they were recorded at very many sta
lions, and no doubt would have been
equally well recorded at any other
places on the surface of our world
had there been provided suitable in
struments. The preliminary tremors,
which are probably waves Of compress
sion, travelled through the world to
reach Italy and other countries with
an average rate of 345 miles per
minute, or 90 kiometers per second.
rate which, It will be observed, is
higher than that at which similar
movements can be transmitted
through glass or steel. The large
waves, which are probably quasi.elas-
tic gravitation waves, by travelling
over the surface Of the earth, reached
Europe at a rate of 113 miles per min
ute, or 2.9S kilometers per seconds.
1t is likely that these latter disturb
ances reached stations in Europe by
travelling from their origin In two d.
rections round the world. AS an indi-
cation Of this, we are told that at sew.
eral of the European stations slight
undulations are to be seen on the
scismograms at times we should ex-
pect to find such markings, had they
Travelled from mdR to Europe by the
longest possible route. From the period
Of these waves, which Is taken at
twenty-five seconds, and their velocity,
their length may be inferred, an esti-
mate of which is thirty-four miles;
while their height as deducted from
their length, and the maximum angle
Of fitting. Is estimated at twenty
inches.
The slowness of the movement was
such that they could not be felt, while
the magnitude was such that the un.
aided eye of an observer would not
be able to recognize any differential
movements in his surroundings. The
largeness of these disturbances and
their great duration, extending over
several hours, preclude them from the
category Of tremors, vibrations or mi.
croscisms.-Plttsburg Dispatch.

Apple water For Invalids.

Apple water is refreshing drink
for an invalid. 1t can be made with
either baked or raw apples, the form
er to be preferred when haste is
wished, that is,if the apples are baked
and In readiness. They should be
sour, and when cooked should be i'm
mersed In boiling water to cover them.
Let stand until cold, strain and sweet
en- to taste. For that made from raw
apples, three or four juicy sour apples
of fine flavor should be pared and
sliced. Pour over two cupfuls Of boil
ing water and let stand three hours.
Strain, sweeten and add a small piece
of ice. A pleasant flavor is added II
the rind of lemon is mixed with the
slices Of apple.-New York Evening

MOTHER paupce's BABIES.

Their little cottage stands apart
From all its splendid neighbors,
AS il it felt touch of shame
AT Mother Drudge's labors.
"A bit of vine TO make il sweet
Is all it has, or maybe,
A pansy in broken pot
To please the precious baby.
And there she works from dawn till dark
To keep the kettle going,
For all the comforts of their lot
Must be of her bestowing.
And would she even breathe prayer,
So scanty are her riches,
Her poor petitions must be dropped
Between her hurried stitches. II
With rosy cheeks and rugged limbs, !,
With tiny caps and dresses, g
She sees her bonny children blessed, X.

MIR. MEREDITH's REQUEST.
No other Dump Can Be Assigned
Than the One Now Used.


The director of the bureau of engraving
and printing. Mr.. VIM. NJ Meredith. sew
eral days ago Invited the attention of the
District Commissioners to the trouble he
has IN diSposing of old tin cans. and re-
quested them to indicate some dump nearer
than those on the Eastern branch where
such refuse could be deposited. The mat
ter was referred by the Commissioners to
the superintendent of the street cleaning
department. Mr.. Warner Stutler. who has
reported to them that the dump at Goth
and B streets southeast Is the only one
available for the kind of refuse referred to
by Mr.. Meredith.
Mr.. Stutler, land all other combustible
refuse is prohibited on any OF the dumps,
and the only trouble from the dumping OF
said material L. due to persons hauling
from business places late In the evening,
after my dumpmen have left the dumps.
All combustible material should be deliv-
cred to the crematory at the foot of South
Capitol street. A provision In the contract
requires the contractor to dispose of such
material when delivered for that purpose
The system of collecting and disposng of
city refuse will never be perfected until II
is all controlled by the Commissioners.
The appropriation made for this purpose
only sufficient to collect from private
residences. Had we received the amount
asked for by the Commissioners in their
estimates for the fiscal year 1901. or the
additional estimate for 1902 for this class
OF work the material could be moved from
business places as well as private resi-
denres, and the system perfected II Is
hoped that at the next session of Congress
We will receive an appropriation sufficient
To do the work In satisfactory manner"
Mr. Meredith will be informed in accor-
dance with the report of Mr.. Stutler.
