THE CHILEAN "YAPPA." "

New Orleans.


Residents of New Orleans and north

city are familiar with the interesting
ana gracious custom of small trades
men Of giving lagniappc. The word,
commonly pronounced "lanyap," refers
10 tile small present which the dealers
make to their customers as sort of
iuduccmcnt to call again. The custom
Is So firmly established that the people
are in the habit of waiting for their
little present after they have made
their purchases, and children ask for
It. Mrs. Hort in her book The Garden

It has been stated by such authorities
as Kelvin. Ncwcomb ana Ban that the
future Of thc suns activity will be
comparatively short not more than 10
100000 years and some have even sug-
gested that the suns activity already
shows signs Of waning. So far is this
from being the case that only one
fourth Of our supply Of energy has been
expended. ana thrcc-fourths are yet in
store for the future life Of the planeta-
ry system This opens up to our con
temptation decidedly refreshing view
Of the future and will give renewed
hope to all who believe that the end Of
mundane progress is not yet IN sight.
Not only should the future possibilities
Of scientific progress be vastly extend

ADJUSTMENTS
Frederick Warde in Hamlet,

Since the announcement was made
that Frederick Warde, the eminent ac-
tor, would appear in this city a good
many interested people have asked as
to the nature of Mr.. Warde's recitals.
For the benefit of those who are doubt
full on this point it may be said that
Mr.. Warde takes a play of Shake
spear and spends an entire evening
with it. The time is taken up in recital
of all the important parts of the play.
Mr.. Warde assumes the various char
acters and makes every scene stand
out as real as though a whole company
We're going through it. This plan has
a most decided advantage in that it
enables the audience to see just how
all the important characters would be
acted out by a man whose standing
and ability no one would question. We
do not have a star surrounded by other
actors of ordinary ability, but a star
put into every character and every
part and the whole play acted out just
as Mr. Warde would have it done.
Hamlet, which is the play selected to
be read is recognized to be his master
piece Warde will be at the Keylor
Grand Friday, April s.

NOTICE TO oRcHARDIsTs.

I have received a communication
from Professor A. Z. Leanders, enomol-
ogist at the Pullman college, in which
he says that he had examined the sam
pie of San Jose scale sent him from
Walla Walla and he finds it was not
affected by the recent cold weather,
and was nearly all alive. I hereby
notify the public that all trees in
fected with San Jose scale or other in
sect pests should be sprayed with the
lime and sulphur solution, that is one
pound of lime, one pound of sulphur
and three gallons of water. Those who
have received notice are expected to
spray within the stated time or the
trees will be sprayed for them and.
according to law, the cost will be as
sessed against the property and fine
added if the court deems necessary.

FIELD FOR LENDING LIMITED
Attorney General Atkinson Renders an
Opinion Regarding Building and
Loan Associations.

Attorney General J. D. Atkinson has
rendered to State Auditor Clausen the
following opinion with respect to build
ing and loan associations:
'In reply to your request for an opin-
ion submitting letter of inquiry from
Abrams & Cooper, attorneys, of Bel
bingham, Wash, which reads as fol-
lows:
GA question regarding the interpre-
ton law of this state has come before
us. and we desire to ask you whether
or not building and loan association
doing business in Whatcom and ada
cent counties can loan money to a
stakeholder of the association residing
in Whatcom county, the security upon
which the loan is made being situated
in a county not an adjoining county
of Whatcom county.
ut is my opinion that it is the in
tention of the building and loan associ-
alton act that in this matter the law
shall be construed literally; and that 1t
would not be the intention to allow
money to be loaned on property or
security which is situated in county
not adjoining or adjacent to the coun-
ty of WhatcOm."
