RECORD MADE FOR DRY WEATHER
But .O4 of an Inch Of Rain Fell in
April-Deficieney Increasing
at Rapid Rate.

Last month was the dryest April in
the history of the Walla Walla weather
office But .O4 of an inch of precipita-
ton was recorded during the 80 days
of the month and the nearest approach
to this record, according to Observer
Newman, was in the April of 1885
when there was but .O5 of an inch Of
rain. The April of 1887 was a dry
month, there being but .16 of an inch
recorded
Deficiency Increasing.
Deficiency in the amount of rainfall
in the Walla Walla valley is increas-
ing at the rate of .06 Of an inch a day
and according to farmers is assuming
serious proportions. The total def
cheney is 2.69 inches up to today.
The forecast issued by Observer
Newman today predicts continued fair
weather with possibly high tempera-
ture. The barometer in the weather
office, after dropping slightly in anti
cipatioY of last nights wind storm,
went up again this morning, denoting
calm weather conditions for the next
twenty-four hours.
Heavy black clouds that rolled up
from the west last night gave indica-
tons of a rainstorm but they proved
to be the fOrerunner of another wind
storm that prevailed nearly all night
and today.

Making old potntoes New.

This Is the way new potatoes are
manufactured In Paris: Old potatoes
the cheapest and smallest that can be
purchased, are bought by the raflstO-
leurs de pommcs de terre, as they are
called, who carry. their property to the
banks of the Seine. good supply Of
water being necessary. The potatoes
are put into tubs half filed with water;
then they are vigorously stirred about
by the feet and legs of the manufac-
turers, who roll up their trousers and
stamp OH the raw potatoes until they
have not only completely rubbed OFF
their dark skins, but have also given
them that smooth and satin-like ap-
pearance which Id so much appreciated
by gormands. They are then dried,
neatly wrapped in paper apd arranged
in small baskets, which are sold at the
marchands des comestibles for francs
apiece. The oldest part OF the whole
business is that the rafistoleurs make
no secret Of their trade.

AS the carriage drew up to the curb
before the station the young man whis-
pered few hurried words to the young
woman beside him. She turned to him
quickly, admiration stamped on every
line of her pretty face, while one little
gloved hand stole up to pull his ear
caressingly.
"Splendid oh, splendidw she cried.

little seriousness that set him chuc-

The young man produced a cardcase
and from 1t pulled Pullman ticket,

each others ears alone when they chose
to do so.
"Bully for your said the man softly.
"You did 1t beautifully"
II hatter myself we fooled them for
once" she laughed.
Then they raised their voices and ran
on about string Of cousins and aunts.
They exchanged "reminiscences; they
talked over very thoroughly those sew
en- Imaginary years since they had
last met. Every now and then the
young man would mutter softly, mo
body wise to 1t yet" And the young
woman would chuckle, 'Tndeed not!'
The city was far behind them and
they were rolling smoothly across green
meadow lands when the young man no.
ticed that the occupants of the seats di-
rectly opposite, middle aged couple,
were looking intently in his direction
and smiling covcrtly. He tried to ap-
pear unperturbed but somehow he felt
decidedly i'll at ease. The young wom-
ans eyes followed his across the aisle,
and she, too, was aware of something
amiss for her face Redeemed and she
leaned forward nervously.
"What is it?' she asked breathlessly.
Nothing, imagine" said he--"our
guilty cOnsciences, perhaps" he haz-
arded.
She laughed trifie artifcially "sup-
pose they should she began.
Nonsense! They won't" said he re-
assuringly.
The infection was spreading. Other
| people in the car were beginning to
take an interest In them. There were
covert whisperings among the passen-
gers and much craning of necks. A
stout. good natured looking man saun-
| tered past their seats and when he was
directly opposite them dropped one eye
lid in a deliberate wink, which they
both saw and equally resented. Then
the stout man went up the car and held
! quite conversation with the grinnine
porter, at the close of which he nodded
| his head in the direction of the young
people and showed a coin into the black
fist.

said.
At that moment the porter came os
tentatiously down the car, armed wit
dust pan and small broom. H

bowed profoundly.
"Ef yo'll scrise me, suh,' he said
with exaggerated politeness. "Tll de

Speaking of cleanliness In China Rev.
E. j. Hardy says in his John China
man at Home:" Before the Chinese
were prohibited from emigrating to the
Philippine Islands the fare from Annoy
to Manila was for them $75 first class,
$15 second. Those in the latter class
had to take bath before landing, so
in order to escape this terror many
used to trave4 first class who would
otherwise have gone second. A whole
family of Chinese will make their alb

The Economy of Durntng Small Coal.
1t Is common delusion that q small
fuel must necessarily be Of low calorific
value, and accordingly of doubtful eco
nomic value even If it can be burned.
As matter of fact many small fuels
are of excellent calorific value, and
when burned with suitable appliances
will show phenomenal saving. Again
and again have / seen an evaporation
of ten pounds of water per pound of
fuel obtained with slack from Welsh
steam coal costing from 5 to shillings
per ton less than the large coal. Slack
from good Welsh steam coal is really
remarkable value for money as COM
pared with the large coal from which
it is separated. Generally speaking,
twenty tons of such slack will evapo-
rate fully as much water as nineteen
tons of the large coal, and assuming
their respective costs per ton to be 10
shilllngs and 90 shilllngs the saving TO
the steam user will be the difference
in cost between twenty tons at 10
shillings per ton and nineteen tons at
20 shillings per ton, say f4.-W. +.

wher. to Keep Honey.


When first commenced to keep bees
nearly every one stored his honey in
the cellar, considering such to be the
place that would keep 1t best. for 1t
was thought cool or cold place was
needed TO preserve this product. Even
now it is hard work to get this notion
out of the heads of many who buy
honey However, 1t was soon found
out that II kept for any length Of time
In a cool damp place honey com
mences to sweat or ooze out of the un-
sealed cells and sour, while II left In
such a place for two or three months
the cell cappings acquire watery APP
pearonce and finally burst. Every bee
keeper of any experience now recon.
mends room whose temperature can
be kept at so to 80 degrees as the only
place in which honey should be kept.
BY thus storing the product it grows
thicker and Of better quality as time
advances, says New England Home

"Suaar" In Parliament.

The Encyclopaedia Britannica is
authority for the following account
of the speeches delivered in the
house of commons by the elder Pitt,
afterward earl of Chatham:
1t is related of him that once in
the house of commons he began
speech with the words, "Sugar, Mr..
Speaker" and then, observing a
smile to prevail in the audience, he
paused, looked fercely around and
with loud voice, rising in its notes
and swelling into vehement anger,
he is said to have pronounced again
the word sugar" three times and,
having thus quelled the house and
extinguished every appearance of
levity or laughter, turned round and
disdainfully asked, "Who will laugh
at sugar now?"

SWEEP UP DAT RICE ON DE FLO.
The man stepped out first, then assist
ed the young woman TO alight. He
handed her suit case and a small,
carefully rolled umbrella.
Track 4, dearie," he said, giving her
hand a surreptitious squeeze. He turn
ed to the driver. "You may drive ME
to the other entrance" he said quietly.
The driver stood quite still, staring
ut the young man.
'sIhe other entrance, said" the lat
ter reminded him sharply.
"Sure, sir. All right, sir!' the driver
chuckled, while broad grin wreathed
his face. The young man re-entered
the carriage, the driver banged the door
and mounted the box. and the equipage
ratified over the pavements to the other
entrance of the station.
Arrived there, the young man paid
the fares, gathered up the remaining
suit case and u bag of golf sticks and
walked leisurely across the platform TO
track H. He passed over his luggage to
the porter OF the Pullman Avon and
followed that worthy functionary down
the aisle to his seat Scarcely had the
porter put down his traps when the
young man turned about and discover
ed the young woman in the seat direct
ly behind him. 1t was the same young
woman of the carriage.
"Why, by love, Eleanor" he cried,
"this Is luck! I've been anticipating
the usual dreary ride up to the camps,
and here | run across you in posses
sion of the very next seat te mine!"
Cousin Tom, how very nice to meet
you herew she exclaimed with pleas
ure equaling his own.
They very solemnly shock hands.
The other passengers of the car looked
on, mildly Interested.
"Going far?" he asked as he swung
his chair about and settled himself
comfortably.
'I'm bound to Ballard Junction she
said flushing slightly.

A very common mistake which We
notice all over the country is the eft,
fort of city councils to start public
parks In sod ground. planting the
young trees in the tough sod, If it Is
desired to lay out and secure a public
park the first thing TO do is to plow the
land deeply and thoroughly fertiliSe IT.;
then the trees MAY be planted, and for
two or three years the land should be
cleanly cultivated, after which 1t may
be seeded down. 1t Is almost impos-
sible to make young trees even live,
much less grow satisfactorily, when
sod bound, for the trees must make
roots before they can make tops.

A field OF corn which gave last year
an authenticated yield OF 14T bushels
per acre was grown thus: An old blue
grass pasture was turned over in Sep
tember, 1904. The field was thoroughly
disked and narrowed to get the seed
bed in the very best condition, The
corn was then planted in rows two
feet apart, the kernels six inches apart
In the row. The cultivation was done
with single horse cultiyator.
