The Wiley Agent Victimizes the
Ranchers.

Agents who claim they are repre-
senting reliable houses in Portland
and Seattle are working a clever
scheme to defraud the Farmers.
Their game is to call on him and
introduce themselves as representing
q certain company, and solicit orders
for Tea, Coffee, Spice etc.
After the agent has obtained good
ly supply OF orders he returns to the
city to have them filled. As matter
OF fact he has been sent out by an un.
scrupulous house to sell their goods
under a special brand.
These goods are OF such inferior and
adulterated stuff as to be unfit for hu-
man consumption.
The orders for coffee are filled at a
wholesale cost OF Is cents q pound
the farmer paying So cents per pound,
profit OF y cents on every pound, or
1850 for every rs pound order. Or
1ers for spices and extracts are filled
n the same proportions.
1t is an easy graft to work, for the
armer has a foolish old fashioned no.
lion that he is being overcharged by
he local merchants Of his town, and
kinks he has an opportunity "to get

As matter OF fact it is perniciou.

A Valuable Gift.

was lecturing in a western city several
years ago, when, on leaving the plat,
form, he was accosted by a pleasant
shabby looking old woman.
'Mr. Carleton" she said, Il want to
ask a great favor Will you give me
the handkerchief you carried while you
lectured this evening"
"Why, what on earth do you want
that for?"
II am very poor, Mr.. Carleton she
said, land If you give me that hand
kerchief I think can live on it q
year."
Mr.. Carleton stared. "A year! You
shall certainly have it," and the old
woman retired with the handkerchief
profusely thanking him.
Later Mr. Carleton learned that she
had embroidered his name on it. and
'.rafled" it to 50 good effect that she
cleared several hundred dollars
enough to live on for year.

Taste and Touch in Fishes.

THE sense Of touch is highly devel.

ables them to communicate. The sense
of taste, located all over the skin in
some fishes, in the fms In others, and
the sense of smell, strongly developed
in some forms Of submarine life, also
must be aids to communication. These
queer locations Of the sense OF taste
have recently been very carefully
studied.-St Nicholas.
