The Coal scuttIe's Revenge.

There was once a tin can who was
well born and Of noble family, for she
had been made Of piece of tin from
the roof of the richest man in the
town. So she kept aloof from the
other menials in the Kitchen
The coal scuttle tried In vain to
open a conversation with her. The
can said pettishly after the third or
fourth attempt:
please do not converse with me- |
am not interested in the gossip of the
laborlng classes"
The honest coal scuttle, deeply hurt,
turned his broad pleb.an back on
the tin can and did not notice that a
small boy Of the family picked her up
and began to bore holes in to her with
a glmlet.
He was trying to make clock out
Of her. although no one would have
suspected it. At last he did not even
suspect It himself for the tin can
looked almost as much unlike clock
as she looked unlike tin can by that
time. So he threw her into the coal
scuttle and trotted off.
ALAS" said the tin can sadly to the
scutue, "alas. We are all prey to Ill
fortune sooner or later, are we not?

ALARMING VIEW
DAILY MAIL CORRESPONDENT is
PESSlMISTIC.
HOstiIities Between Russia and ia.
pan Likely to Be Hastenad..
Japanese Feel They Might Bet
ter Attack Russia Now Than At
ter She Is Fully Prepared.

London, July 24.-The Daily Mails
Tokyo correspondent sends rather an
alarming view of the situation in the
East to his vpaper. He says that Rus
sia's retention of Manchuria, the in
crease of her fleet, the despatch of rein
forcements to Manchuria, the south
ward movement of the occupying army
in Manchuria and its defiant conduct on
the Korean frontier alarms the Japan
csc, many of whom are convinced that
it would be better to fight now than
risk the eventual loss Of Korea and the
RELOCATION Of Japan to secondary
place.
he says the Japanese are accumulat-
ing stores and negotiating for the pur-
chase OF ships; that squadron is off
NladivostOck, to which port Russian
vessel7 have been sent as a precaution-
airy measure, and that both fleets are
ready for action at moments notice.
He says that perusal of the Siberian
press reveals the aggressive spirit of
the Russian military party; that the
Russians believe they will lose prestige
if they give way now with the result
that their far Eastern empire will be
lost and japanese influence will become
predominant.
The appointment Of Marquis Ito as
president of the PRIV council the COR
respondent gays, is favorable to peace,
but that Russia must retreat or there
will be grave danger Of war. He says
the Japanese believe that France and
England will join in the expected con-
tlict, which diplomats at Tokyo think
might, if once begun continue for years,
involving disastrous results to japanese
finance and the creation Of sort of
Balkan difficulty in Korea. He adds
that confidence is shown in the Anglo
Japanese alliance.
The Standards Tientsin correspond
ent say. that since the 18th of this
month there has been An incessant in
crease in the concentration of Russian
forces at Port Arthur and elsewhere,
many who were ostensibly immigrants
being in reality soldiers. He adds that
there is not the slightest evidence that
Russia intends to withdraw or to mod
crate her policy.

Everett, July 22.-The bodies of
Miss Edna Warner, Miss Nina Solomon
and P. & Foster. drowned in the bay
here last Sunday, have been recovered
by means of fish hooks fastened to line
and let down. after graphing hooks and
dynamite had failed to raise them to
the surface. The line was manufac-
tured by G. E. Warner, father of one of
the young ladies. All three were found
clinging to each other, just as they had
gone down in death. The faces of the
young ladies were badly mutilated by
crabs, but Foster was scarcely touched.

STEAMER WALSH BURNED.
Fire Broke Out While Lying at the
Dock at SIDNEY

DOCA at sunny.
Seattle, July 24.-The steamer
Walsh, owned by Capt. l.. NJ. McCor-
mack, of this city, was burned to the
water's edge while lying at the dock at
Sidney yesterday afternoon, as result
of fire which broke out near her boil
ers in some mysterious way. she was
under charter of the Montana Club at
the time of her burning. 1t was prov
idential that the fire broke out when it
did, for had it happened little earli-
err, so rapidly did che burn, the 2SS
people on board could not possibly
have escaped. The wood in the steam
err was so dry that, according to those
who saw her burn, not more than two
minutes elapsed from the time smoke
was discovered until the vessel was
completely enveloped inf ames.
The vessel, which was one of the
largest excursion steamers on the sound
and is claimed to have been worth
$40 900, was chartered for the after
noon by the Montana Club to make
the trip to Bremerton. The members
of the CLUB and their friends to the
number of 23S left Seattle for Bremen
ton at 80 o'clock in the afternoon,
arriving at the latter port about
o'clock. The excursionists left the YES
gel at Bremerton. Owing to the fact
that there was no room for her to lie at
the dock the steamer was taken across
the bay by her crew to Sidney to take
water. While there the crew went to
nearby restaurant for lunch, leaving
two watchmen aboard the ship. Soon
afterward some people on the dock saw
smoke issuing from the boiler rooms
and yelled fire" Before anything
could be done to save her the steamer
was sheet of flame and had to be cut
loose from the dock.
AS the Walsh drifted toward the
beach one of her cylinders blew up.
She was held by some piles short dis
lance from shore and her charred hull
now lies In fifteen feet of water, about
500 yards from the Sidney dock.

MENTAL STRAIN IN NURSING,
Only the Bost of Health Prevents
Nervous Breakdown.

An inquiry held by the Birkenhead
coroner concerning the death Of Annie
Morgan, nurse recently employed at
the discard Nursing Institute. whose
body, in nurses uniform, was found on
the beach near Rack Ferry pier, elicit
ed the sad fact that the deceased had
committed suicide. Miss Morgan, who
was 40 years old, had pursued her pro-
fession without break and had enjoy
ed good health until about fifteen
months ago.
At that time she was greatly dis
tressed by the death of q patient whom
she had been nursing for seven or
eight months, and her mind began to
fail. During the remainder Of 1902
she was unable to follow her occupa-
ton. but at the beginning Of this year
she seemed better and resumed her
work.
a few weeks ago, on returning from
case, her manner was strange, but
the matron of the discard Institute
said that as she spoke nationally she
did not consider it necessary forci-
bly, to detain her. She visited her sis
ter the next day, and was not seen
alive again. 1t Is very seldom that
a nurse succumbs, as this poor wo-
man evidently did, to the strain i'm
posed upon her by the performance
of her duties, but we doubt whether
people who are so quick to criticise
and find fault with nurses realize
that their work is often exceedingly
distressing to the mind as well as ar
duous to the body. From the fact
that there are not more terrible col
lapses like that of Miss Morgan the
Hospital comes to the conclusion that,
generally speaking, matrons training
probationers pay adequate attention
to their physical equipment for the
career they desire to adopt.

COLLEGE CAMPUS ENLARGED
More Ground Purchased for State
Institution.


Pullman, July 22.-Valuab.e addi-
tions to the grounds of the Washington
Agricultural college have recently been
made by purchase and gifts of lands adj
joining the college campus on both the
north and south. A strip of land on
the north side of the campus has been
donated by N. W. Magee and Harvey
4 Weltv. This strip lies just north of
the girls dormitory, from which it is
separated by a narrow street IF only
thirty feet. 1t was feared that homes
might be built on this street, thus
shutting off the view and crowding the
dormitory, and the owners donated a
strip of land which will prevent any
buildings being erected within several
hundred feet of the dormitory.
Purchases have been made of twenty
nine lots in Mount View addition, just
south of the college campus. The lots
were sold at reasonable price and a
strip ninety feet wide by seven hundred
feet long is thus added to the campus,
while other lots scattered through the
addition give good building sites for
certain buildings which will be erected
for the school. Among these are the
creamery, livestock pavilion and hos
pital for contagious diseases.
All these buildings being of wood, it
is desired to get them a sufficient dis.
lance from the main buildings to pre-
vent danger of fire, and it is desired to
get the hospital far enough away to
prevent any danger of contagion.

Origin of Foo1scap,

Every school child knows what

in a hundred can tell why it is so
called. When Oliver Cromwell be-
called. When Oliver Cromwell be-
came Protector after the execution
of Charles l., he caused the stamp of
the cap Of liberty to be placed upon
the paper used by the government.
Soon after the restoration, Charles
H., having occasion to use some paper
for dispatches, some Of this govern
ment paper was brought to him. On
looking at 1t and discovering the
stamp he inquired the meaning Of It,
and on being told, he said, Take it
away. I'll have nothing to do with a

"a national pure food bill must be

the present time manufacturers make
one brand of goods for state where
the laws are lax and better brand for
states which are more strict.

To Clean and Polish Shells.

A young reader Of st. Nicholas asks
the editor the best way to prepare
shells for Il collection. The answer is
given in the st. Nicholas:
First, wash clean of mud. etc. An
old toothbrush will be an efficient aid.
The soft parts are easily removed af-
ter soaking Il day in weak alcohol, or
the specimen mag be placed in a small
kettle or other receptacle suitable for
the purpose and covered with cold wa
ter. Bring to boiling point. Shells
should not be put into water already
boiling, as the sudden change of tenn
perature may crack them, or at least
injure their polish and general ap-
pearance.
After removing the soft parts by
the aid of pin, crooked wire, or small
tweeZers, polish with brush or cloth.
Shells that have skinlike covering
may have a very small quantity of
vaseline rubbed in to prevent them
from cracking when dry. Rub off all
extra vaseline with piece Of flannel.
