John creek and stopped at Asotin on
their way up. They engaged a room
at the hotel. Mr.. Hether, it appears.
went to his room shortly after 3
o'clock in the afternoon and prepared
the fatal dose with which he took his
life. Several persons were sitting in
front of the hotel. including the de-
ceased's brother, when Mr.. Hether ap-
peared on the balcony Of the hotel with
glass in his hand and told Dan he
had taken his last drink with him, at
the same time placing the glass to his
HIPS and swallowing its contents He
then returned to the room and his
brother went up and learned that he
had taken poison. A physician was
called and administered emetics. but

proved Of no avail and he expired dur

Bench, Bar and Beard.

The regulations for shaving observed
In the bench and bar probably come
down from Roman times, and the his
tory Of the custom among that people
Is a curious one. Pliny says that
boards were universally cultivated as
a matter of course till about 300 B. c.,
when Sicilian BARRIERS, who probably
acquired their art from Greece, first
came to Rome and Scipio A~fricanus
set the. fashion of shaving every day.
Thenceforward it became so much the
vogue in good society that the term
parbaus, outlandish, was long supposed
to mean bearded, in allusion to the un-
kempt hair Of uncivillzed nations. In
creased accuracy In etymology has
shown the real meaning to be akin to
balbus, stammering, in allusion to their
uncouth speech. For three centuries
BARRIERS had it all their own way in
Roman circles. Then came the En-
peror Hatrian. who. as Plutarch af-
Arms, grew his beard to hide some
ugly scars, and forthwith it became the
mode. Lawyers and priests, eve more
conservative in their observances than
other folks, continued to shave; hence,
it is supposed. came the traditional
practice Of the English bar, through
the law. courts Of Italy and France

"Fake Sailors" said a naval officer,
work mor harm to the reputation of
Jack ashore than the real man-of-
wars man is able to overcome by the
strictest regulation of his conduct
when on land. The navy is popular,
and it's sailors are popular, and, realiz-
ing this, there has sprung up a pan.

business. is the im~personation of
Uncle Sans bluejackets.
Somehow they manage to get pos
session Of ,castof naval uniforms.
Sometimes, falling that, they go even
to the expense Of having uniforms
made after the naval pattern. Dressed
in these, they do a profitable business.
Their ship has just sailed without
them, and they want money to join her
at Newport or they will be court mar
tailed. Some want only enough money
to get to the navy yard, where they
must report at once. And so on with
all sorts of plausible, stories. When

Sailing ~southeasterly along the shore
of that haunt of the walrus and polar

Of the grotesque and the terrible in the
character Of the scenery. The north
west point Of the island is split up into
a collection Of large rocks Of most fan
tastic shapes. Houses, spires. cathe-
drals and figures of men and beasts are
some Of the forms assumed by these
volcanic fragments, which, rising black
above the white, seething foam Of the
sea that breaks against their base, give
q weird aspect to the grim and desc
lutte region. One rock resembling a
large saddle suggested to me the

perhaps 1shed for reptilia yer the
beetling cliffs which it surmounts."

Hts Destruction Came FromSA Delugo
of Lava Water.
Herculaneum, in Italy, is n Of those
ancient cities which havetnot, only been
buried, but actually forgotten. for
ages. The town, supposed to be Of
Etruscan origin, lies on the, Campanian
plain at the foot Of its destroyer, We
suvius, almost midway between Ma
pies and Pompeif. I
What caused the catastrophe Of the
year 70 A. D.? Biologists have come
to4the help Of the archaeologists, and
It IL now held that the destruction Of
H~erculaneum was somewhat different
from that of Pompeii, although Pom
peii was also covered and buried and
the general effects were the same in
both instances. In the case Of Pom
peii the city was overwhelmed by the
shower Of small stones from the vol
sano and the subsequent rain Of ashes,
but Herculaneum seems to have been
deluged with water lava" and far
fewer people were able to make their
escape from the city than from Pom
peii.
1t Is the theory that the steam from
the crates' turned into rain, and. mixing
with the volcanic dust, formed a huge
volume Of muddy torrent. This gath
cred other soil as it poured over the
land, raised the level of the country
more than sixty-fve feet and finally
left a Of compacted tufa. This
torrent ran on to the sea, making its
own channel and forming a kind Of
lagoon around the previously safe har-
Dor which entirely prevented any ships
from approaching the place thereafter.
