Vegetarian Eggs.

A vegetarian had an amusing ex.
perience the other morning while at
breakfast. His family was down the
Sound and he went to a restaurant and
took seat next to a stranger.
The vegetarian took occaeion to ad
vertise bis creed by telling the stranger
that all meat was injurious aud that
the human diet should be strictly
vegetarian.
But" replied the stranger, II sell.
dom eat meat"
"You just ordered eggs." said the
vegetarian. "An egg is practically
meat, because it eventually becomes q
bird"
1.-THE kind OF eggs 1 eat never be.
come BIRDS" answered the stranger
quietly.
"Good heavens" cried the vege
tartan. "What kind of eggs do you
eat?"
principally boiled eggs," said the
stranger.

Take Care OF the Furniture.

Scrub bamboo furniture aud Indian
mating with lukewarm water and
salt, and rinse with clear water. Don't
wet more than is absolutely necessary.
Wormholes in furniture should be
painted over several times with a
brush dipped in paraffine wax. and the
whole vanished with clear varnish to
exclude the air.
Touch white patches on tables caused
by the putting down of hot plates
dishes, ETC., with a brush dipped in
spirits of inter, and directly afterward
rub with a cloth moistened with sweet
oil.
Always wipe furniture with cloth
wrung out OF lukewarm water to which
little vinegar has been added, and
let it dry before applying polish. The
vinegar and water will remove the
dirt, and the wood will take q better
polish.

THE State College at Pullman is
taking up q work which may mean
much to the farmers Of that valley.
The work referred to is the expert.
ments that are now being carried on
by that institution to ascertain the
causes and kinds of remedies for to-
mato blight. Some time ago Profes-
sor r. Kent Beattie, Of Pullman, set
out sixty-six varieties OF tomatoes.
These tomatoes are now being watched
and data being taken by B. F. Surrey.
The object OF this work is to find what
varieties are least subject to the blight
The matter OF innoculation is also be-
ing studied. There are also a num-
Der OF other places throughout the
State where tomatoes are planted for
the same purposes. In the fall the
data from all will be compared, and il
is hoped that in this way the causes
OF blight may be ascertained and that
a remedy may be found.

THERE are IN the city of Olympia
dogwood trees grated to apple and
pear that are bearing fine fruit. Either
the owner or the person that grated
the trees could write up very inter.
esting letter for the STANDARD. You
may help worn and weary brother,
that has plenty of dogwoods and no
money to buy fruit trees with. One
could have fruit growing all over their
ranch with only the little trouble OF
grating the trees. We do not need
an Arbor day but might introduce a
grating day. Our dogwoods look
beautiful when in blossom, but some
rosey checked apples would be appre-
ciated more by the weary, thirsty
traveller if they were plenty and near
the public thoroughfare and free to all.

BUSINESS HONOR.
Has Il Indeed Vanished in Modern Methodist

S. +. Examiner.
Drastic punishment only can pre-.
vent the Equitable infamy from being
perpetrated again. Seemingly among
too many men OF the highest social
standing there has ceased to be any
sense of responsibility to others, or.
indeed. any ethical code whatsoever.
Money, the kind Of money that persons
of more vulgarity, but not any less
honesty, call "easy" money, seems TO
have been what all these eminent
gentlemen we're looking for. Directors
holding no stock. and giving only the
most perfunctory attention to their
duties, accepted fees of $25 for each
meeting which they attended, and in
one way or another used the funds Of
the policy holders to fill their own
pockets. Eminent statesmen, Sens-
tors. Governors, prominent journalists,
joined in the loot.
The old idea that honesty is one Of
the essential qualities OF business life
seems entirely abandoned to-day. Are
we TO think that the financial com.
munity of New York City, which is
rapidly becoming the financial center
of the world. is made up OF men with
no sense OF honor, with no feeling OF
noblesse obliges Are the methods OF

Use Of Telephones.

There is no large city in the world,
save Stockholm, where the telephone
is in such general use as it is in San
Francisco. In London there are only
2.02 telephones in use to every 100 oi
its Inhabitants. In Paris the ratio is
1856 to every 100, in Vienna 1.2l, in
New York 687, in Christiania 5.45,
and in Berlin 3.45. In San Francisco
the ratio is II to every 100 inhabitants
Olympia is pretty we'll to the front
with sc. Stockholm has, however. a
ratio of 1870. The extraordinary de.
velopment OF the telephone service in
Stockholm has been stimulated by the
competition between the government
and private corporation.

A JAPANESE FAN.

Is it so warm in old Japan?
Do flowers flaunt out such riot glare?
Hangs that soft, golden mist so low
All me, ah Inc, to journey there!
linked out against the yellow glow
One sharp peak rises, blackly bare,
4 stately swan steers up the sky
All Inc, ah me, to journey there
And see her as she furls her fan!
Was ever lady half so fair?
She beckons to me with her eyes
All me, all me, to journey there!
Were ever feet so dainty small?
Was ever coiled such shining hair?
Her hands are like curled lily buds
All me, all me, to journey there.
Fan-pictured, dear Japan, thy calm
Fills us of West with dull despair!
The palm-leaves sift the sunlight through
All me, all me, to journey there!
