diptheria and other infectious dis
eases, syphilis, and almost all forms
OF skin diseases. Over and above the
fact that American saloons, as a rule,
are far cleaner and more hygienic
than the British public-houses, there is
one lamentable feature of drinking in
Great Britain which is absent here.
The habit of drinking among women
in public bars is referred to- Drink
ing by women is practiced every
where, but in no other part of the
civilized world can it be witnessed to
such an extent as in Great Britain
What are known in England as re-
spectacle women are accustomed to
foregather in the public-house for the
sole purpose of drinking and gossip
ing. No particular loss of self-respect
attaches to the woman who does this,
and consequently the custom shows
no signs of declining.
"We may, on the whole, congrat-
ulate ourselves that, although in
many matters hygienic we are not
quite in the front, at least our saloons
Will compare favorably with those of
the other great Englsh-speaking peo-

GERMANY CLlNGS TO RAGS
Endeavors to Keep Paper Making
Material from Being Shipped
to America.

German manufacturers OF paper are
urging the reichstag to impose an eX-
port duty on rags other than woolen,
with the object of preventing their ex-
portation to the United States. The
bill provides for an export duty of 60
cents per 100 pounds, or $l2 per ton,
which, says the New York Herald, will
practically prohibit the expectation.
The New York Paper Dealers dsso-
citation has taken the matter up with
the view CT asking for retaliatory leg
islation by congress. The enactment
of such law would close up many
houses in New York that confine their
business entirely to the importation OF
French and German rags, and it is as
serted that as a result the prices OF
all kinds of paper will be advanced.
1t is understood that France will take
the same action. Peretz Rosenberg,
member CT one of the New York
houses, says:
This matter is much more serious
| than many suppose in relation to
| the paper industry of this country.
The proposed duty is practically pro-
hibitive, and the matter will not end
there, for France is sure to take some
action along the same line. There has
been talk here of p,a7ing duty on
rags for nearly two years.
IN the calendar year 1905 there were
S2,3S9,523 worth of rags other than
wooden imported into the United
States, about one-half coming fr m
Germany. There were imported from
Germany S3,7SO554 worth of paper and
the German manufacturers think that
if an export duty were placed On rags
more payer would be eXI rted to this
country BEFORE rags were imported
to any considerable extent from Ger
many paper manufacturers there coulo
obtain rags for almost any price they
wanted N pay; but the demand from
the United States has increased sc
in the last few years that they nave
had to pay much higher prices"

phia lawyer, (which were unconven.
tional. to say the least. The judge
presiding made UP what he lacked In
legal lore by a certain entertaining
joviality. The case before him was
windy and long drawn out, and it was
plainly to be seen that he was tired
and uninterested. To one of his de-
cisions counsel for the defendant
promptly took exception and his honor
nodded earelessly and settled down In
his ample chair. For moment or two
he quietly dropped off to sleep, his
chair tilted back against the wall. Sud.
denly he fell over backward, and,
scrambling to his dignity and his seat,
he sought to cloak his mishap by ex.
claiming abruptly and irrelevantly:
No, counselor, must adhere to my de.
cision of moment ago.
Counsel for the defense arose, and,
with a serious bow, said: 'Ah, but
Your honor has just reversed himself

as the inscriptions tell. They do not,
however, tell why he chose to have his
parents remains poised in midair in
the stone shell, instead of being buried
in the usual manner.
This curious act is accounted for in
a stranger manner. 1t appears that
his parents came into some money
which was to be theirs $50 long as
their bodies were above the ground. .
When they died, therefore, in order
that the money should not pass into
other hands, their son buried" them
in this curious manner, and, despite
the apparent injustice, his object was
attained.

same Is true Of truck gardening.

The impression sometimes prevails
that all the country west of the Cas-

ature aud rainfall, and that the latter
il too great for comfortable existence.
This is an entire mistake. The Olym-
pia mountains, which, occuy large pal t

Sound and the Pacific, serve to con-
dense much of the moisture from the
ocean, and the Puget Sound basin prop
err, while it has ample rainfall, does
not suffer from any excess in this
direction. The rainy season lasts
practically from November to April.
The summers are bright and warm,
the heat being always tempered by The
ocean breezes. No more healthful
region can BE- found and the low price
at which these cut-over lands can be
secured makes this very attractive
proposition to those who have expert
