Civil Engineer Robert Whitman
has just finished the government sur.
vey of township 3 north and range E.
and east, w. NJ, in Skamania
county. He has been engaged two
months in the work, and now he and
his party 60 to the st. Helens district
to put in the remainder of the sum-
mer in surveying other tracts for the
government. Mr.. Whitman says that
fully one.half the timber in the terri
tory he has just finished has been de.
stroyed by fire, yet there are some fine
bodies of timber left. Rock, Green
leaf and Hamilton creeks drain that
country, and on their slopes are to be
found fine mixed growth of red and
yellow fir, white pine, larch, hemlock
and cedar. It is in this territory that
the big basin, lately stripped by the
Northern Pacific Railway company, is
located. There is much of the land
which is good for agricultural pur-
poses. Mr.. Whitman deplores the fact
that the government has not seeded
the burned district, the same as was
done last year in Clark county. Grass
keeps the underbrush from starting
and furnishes fine range for stock.
The underbrush in this country is as
much menace to land clearing as the
timber itself, and it is the underbrush
which spreads the forest fires.

In sweeping, do not use the same

To remove old putty from window

WHAT THE CHINESE EAT.
Rice Is Not the Principal Diet of the Common
People.

1t is the popular belief in this coun-
try that rice is the chief diet of the
lower classes of China. This is erron-
eous, for rice is luxury from their
point OF view, because too costly for
everyday consumption. They eat
much pork, which costs little, for hogs
of razor-back breed are plentiful every
where, and the pig is the domestic an.
imal par excellence. She sleeps in the
living room, recognizes her name and
displays in her intelligence the inher-
tied results of centuries of training.
She littcrs twice year, and of her off.
spring the males are fatteued while
the females are sold or kept for breed
ing. The household porker is pet;
she is fed at every meal Of the family,
foraging for herself at other times in
the streets and fields. And it should
be remembered that the pig is decid-
edly q clean animal when properly
kept.
Rev. DR.. Williams, in his Middle
Kingdom" says that the Chinese in
the vicinity OF Canton, from whom are
recruited nearly all of the pig-tailed
immigrants to this country, have a re-
markable appetite for cats. One fre-
quently sees pussies hanging, nicely
dressed, in the butchers windows, the
meat looking so white and clean as to
be almost appetizing. They are kept
alive in the shops, too, in cages ready
for killing. Because they are so pro.
life and find so much of their own
food, they can be raised profitably.
Cats eyes are considered great deli
cscy by the rich, those of black cats
being regarded as choicest and COM
manding the highest price. Rats and
mice are seldom eaten, except in case
Of famine; they are too hard to catch
to be cheap. But among the Chinese
there is an old joke about an imagi-
nary dish called honey and squeak" }"
made by inclosing live mouse in q
piece OF honey comb.

LARGE PARKS.
Los Angeles Claims the Biggest Park, But the
"Ciey of BrotherIy Love" Outclasses II.

Los Angeles has the biggest park in
the world. 1t was presented by a
newspaper man named Griffith and is
called Griffith Park. The giver asked
that no railroad leading to the park
should be permitted to charge more
than 5 cents fare. Central Park, New
York, cost over $15,0O0,0O0 and con-
sists of $40 acres. Griffith Park, Los
Angeles, is tract of 5000 acres. 1t
includes two and one-half miles of
frostless foothills bordering on Cahu-
enga valley, five miles of Los Angeles
bottom and a beautiful little valley
which originally was known as the
Press Colony site. The park has over
1000 acres of tillable land and some
of the most romantic scenery on
earth.-Sdnta Cruz Surf.
Fairmont Park, of Philadelphia,
embraces an equal area, notwithstand-
ing the claim made that Griffith's
Park is the biggest" in the world.
1t includes over SO miles of driveway
and 100 miles of walks and bridle-
paths. 1t has in addition TO 5000
acres OF park, traversed by the beauti-
full Schuylkill river, 35 acres of ZOO
logical garden and 80 smaller parks
and public squares.

NO-HAT FAD SPREADING,
New Haven Plan Gains Popularity and May
Come to West.

New Haven Plan Gains Popularity and May
Come to West.
Is the hatless fad which has caught
the society folk OF New Haven, Conn.,,
likely to sweep over the country? The
man OF family hopes it is, and says it
can come none too soon. He consid.
ers it the most sensible fashion ever
adopted by women.
Started by Yale students, the men
and women OF New Haven are fast to
adopt the barehead idea. At first it
seemed strange, but now the no-hat
advocates say the comfort they enjoy
is so great it will be with reluctance
that they 60 back in the fall to the
artificial coverings for their heads.
So rapid has been the growth of the
fad in New Haven that it is common
now to see a goodly proportion Of
those travelling TO the shore resorts
evenings hatless, in spite of the pub.
licity Of the open trolley cars. Young
society women 60 downtown for their
shopping now at midday with their
heads unadorned by millinery. Some
carry their hats, in case they should
decide to wear them, but even this
practice is being abandoned.
With the men the new plan meets
just as much favor, and they are more
than willing to encourage the aboli-
ton of the hat. Some say selfishness
is behind their attitude, but none of
the male sex will admit it.
There is alarm among the milliners
and the mems hatn,akers OF the coun.
try for fear that the people of other
cities will follow New Haven's exam.
pie. They see financial disaster ahead
should the hat become . thing of the
past. They insist this move must be
checked in the interests of the worker,
for those to whom the Easter bonnet
gives employment are legion.

Ben, the star.browed colt in q coun-
try barn, was eating hay; not out OF
his own rack, but from the rack in
the stall next to him.
"That's the way we always have to
feed Ben," the farmer explained.
Il" Ever since he was colt he would
not eat from his own rack. When
we put the hay almost out of his
reach he thinks it does not belong to
him. and enjoys taking it. Thinks he
is stealing. I suppose"
"Cows, now and then, show simi.
lar singular disposition about food.
One year we had lot of clover hay
that the cows seemed to have taken a
dislike to. Nothing the matter with
it that 1 could see-but they wouldn't
eat it. So 1 took a hint from Ben.
Down in the woods pasture 1 had the
men build a square pen OF fence rails,

Well, sir, every day when the cows
were turned out in that pasture lot

their necks up over the edge of the
rails in great discomfort, and eat that
clover hay with evident zest. We fed
the whole stack to them in that way

Work Done While Asleep.

Cabsnis tells us that franklin on
several occasions mentioned to him
that he had been assisted by dreams
in the conduct of affairs in which he
was engaged.
Condillac states that while writing
his "Course of Studies" he was fire.
quently obliged to leave chapter in
complete and retire to bed, and on
awaking he found it, on more than
one occasion, finished in his head.
The most remarkable testimony of
this kind is perhaps that of Sir
Thomas Browne, who declared that, if
it were possible, he would prefer to
carry on his studies in his dreams, so
much more efficient were his faculties
or mind when his body was asleep.

PAPER HATS ARE POPULAR,
Ihlcaso Chapeau Worked Up" BY Girl Of
That City.
Chicago Tribune.

Chicago Tribune.
The girl in the paper hat will be
the belle of the parks and the lakes
and the summer resorts the present
summer. The paper hat is the pref
tlest hat ever invented, according to
knowing beauty lovers and critics, and
1t can be made as dainty and delicate
as a hand-tucked chiffon, without
costing third of the latter's price.
Just how strong is this point in
favor OF the paper hat only those indi.
viduals who have bought and paid for
the lovely but perishable chiffon "cre-
ations" can realize. And when it is
added that the paper hat will wear far
better, withstand far more varied and
trying tests and conditions than the
chiffon beauty, the secret of the paper
hats inevitable popularity and promi-
nence is most clearly explained. And
when it is further added that while
the paper hat will not, OF course,
emerge triumphant from a violent
rainstorm, it will bear, undimmed and
unaltered, the most brilliant sunshine
and the soaking, dispiriting mists that
reduce its chiffon rival to decidedly
limp condition, no woman will wonder
that the orders for paper hats are piled
up far ahead of the few people who
can successfully "create" them, nor
that at least every other woman in
Chicago is laying plans for a most
stunning hat to be worn during the
hot days OF the coming summer.
The pretty things appeared stimuli
taneously last June on two continents
and in many places, but to Miss Olive
Van Ruff, the acknowledged "paper
artist" Of Chicago and tho West, be.
longs the credit Of having worked
up" the paper hat from the merest un-
considered trifie of accidental and
ephemeral millinery to a thing of real
artistic value and undeniable charm.
The shapes upon which the hats OF
paper are made up are precisely the
same a. those employed for any other
kind OF millinery process. The colors,
styles, modes of decoration and general
appearance are all OF similar order aud
correctness. The floral bandeaux, di-
aphanous scarfs and drapings, togeth.
er with fancy hatpins, leafy wreaths
and all the delicate ideas and devices
utilized in dainty hats OF more costly
material are brought to bear upon the
paper hat problem no less effectively
as we'll.
Every age, size and style OF the fem
mime hat-wearer, from the tiny two.
year-old up to the sweet girl graduate,
bride and bachelor girl stages, can be
suited in a paper hat of most approved
and becoming shade and manner, nor
has the little widow" been neglected
or forgotten by any means. She, to-
gether with the stately grandmother,
whose thronging years and descen-
dants forbid her to appear girlishly
attired, may wear as pretty and taking
hat of paper as the veriest girlish
belle.

A Day Off.

Who wouldn't take day off,
When the fleecy clouds in view,
Are trailing, sailing way off,
Down breezy sea of blues
Who wouldn't fly and stay off,
Who wouldn't lie and lay off,
And get away-away off,
In the daisies and the dew?
Who wouldn't fall to wishing,
When they hear the trees a-swishing,
And the whole worlds gone a.fishing,
And is beckoning to you?

A DOG turns round several times
before lying down, simply because his
far-away progenitors did it in order to
make bed in the grass or the snow.
In placing his nose on his paws, he is
doing what those same progenitors did
to keep their nostrils protected. In
the careful cleaning OF her fur, the
modern cat initiates her remote ances-
ters, who were able in this way to re-
move odors likely to betray their pres
ence to their enemies and to the ami
mails they were hunting.

THE statement is made that every

The Sea Causes 4 Fire.

Fancy the waves of the sea setting
fire to the cliffs they break on. Yet
this is what did really happen at Bal.
lybunion, on the western coast of
Ireland. These rocks, which the great
Atlantic rollers have for centuries
been slowly breaking down, contain in
their depths masses OF iron pyrites nd
alum. At last the water penetrated
to these, and rapid oxidation took
place, which produced q heat fierce
enough to set the whole cliff on fire.
For weeks the rocks burned like q
regular volcano, and great clouds Of
smoke and vapor rose high in the air.

A STRANGE story is related by the
Parkersburg, w. Va, correspondent
for the Chicago Chronicle. The cor.
respondent says that on June 81
Barbour county had a black rain.
which made streams so black that
cattle refused to drink the water,
while horses and cattle in the fields
appeared black after the storm. On
Stewards run the water was SO black
that many people thought the Berry,
burg coal mine had been opened
through the hill and the water was
coming from it. The black rain ex-
tended all over the county. The
clouds were of inky blackness and
volumes of block smoke seemed to
gush from them. There is much
speculation as to the cause and many
persons were frightened by the phe.
nomenon.

STORY WITHOUT A MORAL.
Debauchery Laid the Foundation for
Competencs,

In prosperous town in Mexico
lives merchant whose wealth grew
out of a combination Of good luck and
drunkenness. An unconfrollable de-
sire for drink cost him position after
position, and he drifted down To Mex
leo and became news agent. He
sold lottery tickets. He had to report
on drawing day what unsold tickets he
had and forward them. He got drunk
the day before one Of the big draw
ings. Two days later he sobered up
and found himself in possession Of
several hundred dollars worth Of IN.
sold tickets He did not possess s1o
in the world. He examined the list
and found that number Of the IN.
sold tickets had drawn prizes aggre-
eating $4,000 in gold. He collected
the winnings, paid for the unsaid
tickets and took an oath Of perpetual
total abstinence That was years
ago. He has never touched liquor
since, and is to-day a wealthy man
