far beyond the needs OF pFlhuuNe
imam, and according to the economy
Of nature, stored up a supply for the
greater needs of civilized people Of
Ia future time.
Scarcely 10 years ago, the world
began TO receive and use what he had
thus been prepared. An idea was
lconceivei to catch and cook the salmon
Iby the ton and send it abroad pre-
pared and ready for the table
A small cannery WAS erected NJ
Sacramento and soon after on the
columbia river The business grew
until now the revenue from the Co.
Ilumbia river pack alone is one ana
lone half million dollars, The canned
salmon is known throughout the
breadth OF the civilized world, Can
cries extend from the sunny Sacra-
imente to the frozen wo,ers of the
Yukon river, and the coast pack has
reached the enormous amount of four
million cases, and value Of fifteen
million dollars,
About the same time with the
opening of the Columbia river the
lneighborinr fertile mountain tops and
hillsides sent up n growth which IN
the sunshine and mists developed into
large forests, another great storehouse,
which laid up material for the future.
A radius Of 50 miles would describe
about us a district containing so bill
lion feet, worth today in lumber 500
millions of dollars.
The pioneer and founder of the
salmon industry, ready TO take up new
enterprises which would contribute
to the needs of the great industries
Of the present civilization, looked up
on these forests and the efforts just
beginning to be made to convert them
into lumber. He saw the lumber iu-
dustry to be but in its infancy. The
time to be ripe. The markets of the
world to be hurry, That there is Il
greater breadth of civilization than
ever before, and the industries and
commerce of the time demand great
er quantities of lumber.
He chose this spot for a min,
where, to usa a familiar phrase Sail
and rail meet" From here by land
I can be delivered the luruer to the
cities of the continent, by rail and
steam to the islands and ports of the
sea. The enterprise this day started
is not short lived. and its founder.
when he shall sit in the, glow Of the
setting sun of life, will rejoice with
parental pride to see the work car
Iried on by his son. Fortunate is the
youth that enters the beginning of this
new century, so equipped for indus
trial achievements.
We citizens look upon this as the
beginning of the great export trade
that has been predicted for Astoria
Better is the export of home articles
and manufactures than the exchange
from boat to rail and vice versa Of
commodities grown or manufactured
elsewhere. This mill is bur the fore
runner of others to follow and the
beginning Of a great conversion of
timber and forests into lumber. The
denuded lands will furnish opportunity
for the erection of many homes and the
development Of the third na:ural indus

 WHY HE WAS CRYING.


 Representative De Graffenfried of Texas, who Is one of the best story tellers in the house, was sitting at lunch yesterday when he sampled some very warm horseradish.s The tears came into his eyes,
 ..That reminds me-, he said to the congressman who were gathered around the table, "of the man down in my county who sampled tabasco sauce for the first time. He filled q spoon with the hot mixture and drank it. His eyes at once filled with tears. ..What are you crying for?" asked his companion.
 My mother is dead,' was the reply. "A few minutes later he induced his companion to try the tabasco. When his friends eyes became watery, he asked him why he was crying.
 Because you did not die when your mother did" said his comrEnNn. Washington Post.

Thrilling Experience of Youthful
 Stowaway.
Came to America i'm the Boiler ox @ Donkey Engine-Found @ Friend and Was Permitted
 to Stay.

Rivaling the tales of mythical for tune hunters is the experience of little Austrian stowaway in one of the boilers of the Umbria, upon it's recent arrival in New York. After the lad, who is Is years old, had travelled 15,o00 miles i'll quest of America, he at last was placed in the hands, of friend who promised to care for him.
 The boys name is Bozo Gacino, and he comes from Dalmatia, a province of Austria. His wanderings began more than year ago, when his father, a small farmer, gave him 100 tiorins and told him to go to America. With great glee the little Austrian left the village of Sebenico, for he and his el- der brothers quarreled continually, and he had friend in America whom he longed to join. After spending 30 of his forins, he reached Triest, the seaport, where he fell in with an oblig- ing fellow, who, for the remaining 70 forins, agreed to embark Bozo for America. Bozo gave up his florins, and the stranger disappeared, leaving discouraged little lad to return to Dalmatia.
 Gacino's father then apprenticed him to a druggist, but the boy soon wearied of long hours and small wages. and ran away to Triest, where he hid in & steamship bound for Egypt. At Alexandria he slowed away in the Fabyan and reached Liverpool week later Then he crawled into the hold of the Cunard Saxonia. Upon reach ing New York last spring he was de- ported, after he had obtained fleeting glance of the busy harbor. When he was taken back to Liverpool he evaded the English immigration officials, and for 20 days lived off crusts found in the gutters, but always kept a weather

Little of Brain Ts Used.

Much of the larger portions of a brain is composed of white natter that is, of nerve fibers-which has nothing whatever to do with real brain work and which only carries messages, says an exchange. Again, if research is to be trusted, it is only the brain cells of a very limited (probably the frontaD region which have to do with the highest mental operations. When, therefore, we talk about the size of head and brain and the weight of the brain, we should clearly understand that only an in finitesimal fraction of the three pounds weight or so of an ordinary brain can be reckoned as represent ing brain cells-that are the agents of our nervous governance. Practi- cally the brain cells (of the cerebrum of great brain at least) bear no larger proportion to the brains mass than the rind of Dutch cheese does so the eatable portion

ABOUT AMERICAN POLO.
James Gordon Bennett Was the Lead- ing Spirit in Introducing
 the Game Here.

James Gordon Bennett, the propriel tor of the New York Herald, was, the leading spirit in introducing polo into this country. It was he who dined, in 1876, at his own residence, which still stands on the northeast corner of Fifth avenue and Thirty-eighth street, New York city, the following gentle men: Messrs. William Jay, William B. Douglass, Charles c. Francklyn, Winnie Thorn. Perry Belmont, John Mott, Samuel Howland and Lord Vaudeville.
 1t was decided to bring from Texas 6 carload of COW ponies, and, until within short time, there was hung in the Meadow Brook clubhouse, Long Island, list of these ponies, distrib- uted by lot among the diners. at an average cost of $S0' each.
 The first game was played during that winter in the. old frame, Dickel Riding academy, where nov stands the Union League club, corner of Fifth avenue and Thirty-ninth street, says, F. Willard Roby, in Outing, and play was later continued at Jerome park Sace course, at Fordham. in 1877.

HOW WHITEFIsH WAS CAUGHT.

William Davenport Hubert whose stories of outdoor life are inspiring and interesting, tells of the life of whitefish in the August Success" This is his description of how the little fellow was caught:--
 He was swimming along at depth of perhaps thirty or forty feet. The sun was shining brightly, the water was clear, and soft, green light came down to greet his big, unwink- ing eyes. By that light he suddenly saw before him, stretching right ac- ross his path, a great net that reached up to the surface and down to the bottom, and away on either hand as far as he could see. The meshes were large-so large that, if he tried, he could easily have slipped through any of them and gone on his way. But he didn't try. He was of eau tious disposition, and had no intention of running his nose into anything that he knew nothing at all about. At the same time he hadn't enough caution to make him turn square about and go back the way he had come, which would have been the really wise and prudent thing to do. Turning square about wasn't his hab- it. If he couldn't go straight ahead, he would try to find way around the obstacle. So he followed along the wall of netting, looking for it's end, and, before he knew what had happened, he was inside huge bag, and the opening by which he had en- tered seemed to have vanished utter ly. He had found the s'pot' of q pound-net, from which, when a fish has once entered it, he seldom escapes Two days ald nights he searched for the way out, but without success Once, indeed, he passed along nar- row, tunnel-like passage into what was apparently an outer chamber but there he lost his way, grew bewil- dered, and presently found himself back again into the bag. 10 squeeze through the meshes was no longer possible, for they were much smaller than those he had first seen. There seemed to be nothing to do but stay there till he should starve.
 The pot was about thirty feet square, and so deep that it's bottom rested on the floor of the lake, while it's edges were held two feet out of water by group of tall, slender poles that stood around 1t, with their feet driven into the mud. The whitefish had not been long in the net before a heron a Hcrane," the fishermen would have called him-came and perched on the tip of one of these poles. With his eyes fixed on the water, he stood there as silent and motionless as a statue till an unwary herring came a little too near. Then there was a Iightning-like dart of his long neck, and moment later his big wings Tapped heavily and he rose in the air and flew away toward the land, bearing pretty, silvery creature that would never again chase whitefish babies or eat fresh eggs on the spawn ing grounds. He was back again be- fore long, and I shouldn't dare to say how many trips he made to the pot that day and the next, or how many fish he carried off.

cULTIvATING A CARRIAGE.
We Are Advised to Carry Weight On Our Heads If We Would
 Stand Erect


 A stoopfng figure is not only fa- age, but it is, when caused by careless habits, direct cause of contracted chest and defective breathing. Un- less you rid yourself of this crook while at school you will probably go bent to your grave. There, is one good way to cure it. Shoulder braces will not help. One needs not an artificial substitute, but some means to develop the muscles whose duty it is to hold the head and shoulders erect. I know of only one bull's-eye shot, says a writer in Halls Journal of Health.
 It is. to carry a weight on the head. A sheepskin or other strong bag filled with 20 or 30 pounds of sand is, good weight. When engaged in your morn ing studies, either before or after breakfast. put the bag of sand on your head, hold your head erect, draw your chin close to your neck and walk slowly about the room, coming back if you please every minute or two to your book or carrying the book as you walk
 The muscles whose duty it is to hold the head and shoulders erect are hit, not with scattering shot but with a rife ball. The bones of the spine and the intevertebral substance will soon accommodate themselves to the new attitude. One year of daily practice with the bag, half an hour morning and evening, will give you noble car riage without interfering g. moment with vo,Ir sfudies

eye open for an Amerida- bound yes- sel.
 June 13, just befose the Umbria sailed, he crept upon the deck, looking for a hiding place. A lantern was flashed in his face, and the sentry, be- ieving he was one of the cabin boys, ordered him below. Without realizing his danger the boy crawled into a boiler which furnishes steam to the donkey engine. This boiler was not used throughout the voyage, or the boy would have been burned to death. Friendly stokers discovered his pres ence, but instead of disclosing his se- cret, they fed him during the voyage.
 Thursday, however, McKechan, the refrigerator engineer, climbed on top of the boiler and proceeded to hang up some of his washing to dry. Just as the engineer was preparing to descend he was startled to see a head bob up out of the opening in the top of the boiler and then disappear again. McKechan crawled over to the manhoIe and peered into the darkness inside the boiler He could dimly discern the outlines of a person, and he shouted to him to
 
 come out.
 Receiving no response the engineer attempted to reach inside and seize the boys clothing, but he was severely bitten for his pains. The engineer, convinced that something was wrong, went to Chief Engineer Hardy. After a struggle and some tight squeezing past the tubes they managed to get their prisoner up to the manhole en- trance, and he was pulled out.
 All laughed when they saw the sup posed lunatic. He was locked up in the steamships hospital and when the ves-, sel reached port vigorous search for the bold lads friend was made. He was found in Harlem and signed papers which permitted the young Dalmatian to remain in the United States.

Value of Black Diamonds.

Cartoons, or black diamonds, are chiefly used in drilling for mining de- posits-that is, in prospecting work They have a combination of hard ness and toughness possessed by no other material. They are used to point the steel bits used in rock boring by the prospector. They are found only in Brazil, where the na- tives collect them along the river beds. The finest grade costs the consumer about $42 carat, and it is said anything offered for lower price should be looked upon with suspicion, as certain dealers have be- come very expert in coloring imper- feet stones and otherwise treating them so that an expert cannot de- tect their imperfection.

took so much interest in the farm, so liked it's appearance, location, etc., that the old farmer scented a petro- leum man and saw visions of incal- culable wealth. Being shrewd man, Loomis did not care to take any un- necessary chances with Providence, and on the quiet he sent the hired man out the back way with orders to dump the kerosene can into the well. The visitor liked the entire place, Inspected tho barn, the chicken yard and then, as if by chance, asked for drink of water.
 "Loomis was waiting for that and hauled up brimming bucket before the mans own eyes and poured him out gourdful of liquid with fine, opalescent scum upon it.
