VALUE OF WATER.

Few people know the value of wa

Bathing the feet in hot water will
Immediately relieve headache or pain
in any part of the body If caused by
cold or congestion of blood.
Half a pint of hot water drank 20
minutes before breakfast every morn
ing for 3 or months will improve
digestion and cure constipation.
Immediately plunging a burn in
cold water gives instant relief, stops
the fire from penetrating farther and
If the burn is not too severe, prevents
blistering.
Weak eyes may be wonderfully
strengthened by bathing the eyes,
the top of the head and the back of
the neck in cold water night and
morning. This gives vigor to the
nerves and muscles of the eyes If
presistently used. ..
To relieve chronic or acute pain,
soreness, or Inflammation in any part
of the body, on going to bed lay a wet
cloth 6 or 8 double on the affected
part and wrap with plenty of dry
cloths to exclude the air and keep all
moisture from the clothing and bed.
Before rising in the morning remove
the cloths and let the skin dry thor

Few people drink enough water
The body to be healthy demands plen-
ty OF water externally and internally.
About three-fourths of the body is
water. All nutrition for building up
the body is carried in fluid state
and all waste products are borne
away by fluids, hence the Importance
OF drinking plenty of water. Begin
an hour after meals and drink reason
able amounts until within an hour of
the next meal.
Drinking hot water will stop vomit-
ing.

POULTRY POINTS.

Pullets and 2-year-old hens are the
most profitable,
Too much exercise makes the meat
tough and stringy.
Keep for maturity only the best OF
the whole lot of pullets.
The main point in raising chickens
successfully is to keep them freefrom
lice and mites. '' -
The cramming system for fatten-
ing fowls is not likely to ever become
popular in this country.
After o hen is 3 years old she be-
comes Improbable as an egg pro-
ducer and is rather tough for table
use.
Scratching beds of litter, chat,
leaves, etc., will take the place of
range where birds must be confined.
Chickens that are poor and not be-
ing cared for make but small pro-
gress in life and seldom, if ever, be-
come the best egg producers.
Do not undertake to keep too many
hens at a time. A few well-cared for
is better than large number left to
look out for themselves.
A male or female is called q chicken
when Matched. AS soon as it becomes
old enough to tell the sex it is cock
erel or pullet, and when it is one year
old it is cock or hen.
Summing it all up, there are four
breeds coming under the heading
of general purpose, practieal-utility
fowls, and they are the Wyandottes,
Plymouth Rock, Rhode Island Reds
and LeghOrns.
Investigation of the capacity of hens
to lay eggs results in the discovery
that the egg production of hens de-
creases considerably after the age of
four years. Thus, a hen lays at the
age Of one year about twenty eggs;
at the age OF two years, about 12O;
at the age of three years, about 135;
at the age of four years, about 11b;
at the age of five years, about eighty.

Don't worry because you must die.
Be calm, for death is the inheritance
Of mankind. There is none so poor,
and none SO rich, as to lose their
heritage. Each day, hour, minute,
and second is gradually sundering
the strands of each individuals life.
Our existence here is, if I may use
the comparison, like that of boat
tied by q rope to a rock in the ocean.
The storms beat upon the boat, just
as they do on mankind, and, little by
little, the rope is worn and weakened.
When the last strand is severed the
boat drifts away.

such scoundrels as Durfey, and the
sooner that such low-lived devils are
buried in six feet OF earth the better
for mankind. II this had been &C.

The Kind of Snake Se., :, D-..u,.,a

The Kind Of Snake Seen in Dreamland.
While reptiles of all species are
, scarcely known here-and venomous
, ones not at all-it is reported that
one known as hoop-snake was found
at Chuckanut, the other day, and has
been exhibited at Bellingham in a
bottle. The peculiar Characteristic
OF the snake is that it catches its
tail in its mouth when in haste and
rolls like hoop instead of crawling.

A large party of full-blooded Quin-
ault Indians left Aberdeen last week
for Coney Island, New York, where
they will give exhibitions on the
water. Seymour Simmons has charge
OF the performers, and has a number
OF stunts planned that he will give
daily. Among them will be riding
the surf in canoe, a large Chinook
canoe having been taken along for
that purpose. The party includes
Sampson John, well-educated red
man, and a number of the Quinault
tribe who have been instrumental in
rescuing shipwrecked mariners on
the rough coast near the reservation.
The party will stay at Coney all
summer, returning to Washington in
the fall.
A Wonderful Feat Of Enfineerinf.
One OF the greatest undertakings
on which contractors who are build
ing the Chicago, Milwaukee & St.
Paul railroad to this coast are en-
gagged, is filling a canyon $50 feet
deep and half a mile long. The can
yon is near North Bend, just this
side of the mountains, on a branch of
the SnOqualmle river. A mammoth
pumping plant is to be established
above the canyon and the course of
the river is to be changed to a point
higher on the mountain to give ad-
ditional headway. The filling is to be
done by sluicing down the side OF the
mountain. This is considered q re-
markable feat of engineering and the
preparations for the work are being
watched with interest by engineers
all over the country.

buyers can enforce contracts made

age reduced the Fall movement Of
shingles to one third last November,
number of wholesalers and manu-
facturers agreed to accept orders on
the basis of - thousand for stars,
to prevent the market being bulled
by Spectators. They loaded up with
these orders, then the railroads sud-
dedly shut down entirely on shingle
shipments. The embargo against
timber products was raised last
month, but very few shingles have
been shipped. As a result Of depleted
stocks in the East, prices have gone
to 8 thousand for stars and whole
salers loaded up with $2 orders are
threatened with ruin. They are re-
minding buyers that in the past
wholesalers have allowed Fasteners
to cancel orders and the West now

GOOD NIGHT.

In bed OF flaming crimson
The ev'ning sun has gone to rest,
Birds have ceased their joyous warblinl
And slumber in the cozv nest.
Like tear the crystal dew-drop
Is glitt ring on the dropping rose,
While the kiss OF dying daylight
Ger hill and fragrant valley grows,
Good night, good night"
At the cottage gate the lovers
Are lingering still to say good night,
Clinging to each other fondly,
As mists OF ev'ning shroud the light.
In the balmy, solemn cleaning
The lovers find it hard to part;
Again, and yet again they whisper,
With lip on lip, and heart to heart,
"GOod night, good night"
On its bed child is lying
1t sees the sunset in the west,
And its eyes grow sad with yearning
For lands where there is perfect rest.
Night has come, and like the blossoms,
The child has dropped its weary head
On its guardian angels bosom
The day is o'er-the child is dead,
"GoOd night, good night"

LITTLE POINTS OF ETIQUETTE.
Some Things it Is Important to Know at
the Right Time and Place.

When one is invited out to lunch
con or dinner, the napkins which are
placed upon the plates often hold the
dinner rolls or the slices of bread.
Remove the bread as soon as seated,
and place it at the left of the plate.
Then unfold the napkin to half it's
amplitude, and lay it across the lap.
Gentlemen do not tuck their napkins
in their waistcoats, no matter h ow
convenient they may find such an
arrangement. Nor is the napkin
used as if it were a big cloth, the end
being all-sufficient for touching the
lips. At the end of the meal the
napkin is left unfolded at the left side
of the plate.
Bread is always broken in small
pieces, never cut, and never crum-
bled into soup or sauce.
Soup is taken from the side of the
spoon, which is filled by drawing it
up from the opposite edge of the soup
plate. Soup, of course, must be
taken nOiselessly. No one takes q
second helping, or tips the plate to
secure the last mouthful.
Fish in days past was taken with q
fork supplemented by o bit of bread;
nowadays, a silver knife is allowable,
forks and knives for fish being made
of a special pattern. All vegetables
are eaten with a fork; asparagus
with knife and fork, although it
may be taken up with the fingers il
one prefers to do so. A safe rule is
never to touch any bit of food with
the fingers if possible. Peaches and
pears are peeled. cut in half, and
then broken by the fork and thus
eaten. An orange may be cut in
half and then eaten with an orange
spoon, or it may be peeled entire,
then divided into sections and eaten
with the fingers.
All pies are eaten with a fork only,
and most puddings, except custards,
which require a spoon. Soft cakes
are eaten with a fork, while jellies,
no matter how hard, are eaten with
spoon.
OF course one must not eat with
knife, nor must tie knife be thrust
into dish OF sweets or sauce to con-
vey portion of these to pieces of
bread or cake. This is great breach
of table manners. In using the knife
and fork q movement Of the wrist,
and not Of the elbow, is the proper
thing. The handles should repose In
the center of the hand, only the half
of the handle being covered by the
hand. Olives are taken up in the
fingers and eaten in that way, but
for other pickles and rclishes a fork
must be used.
At very fashionable luncheons now
adays ladies always wear their hats.
removing their wraps and gloves,
but q dinner is q much more cere-
monious meal, and dress gowns with
out hats are worn, or at very smart
dinners, evening dress.

Love, like fire, must have contin-
ual movement. When it ceases to
hope and fear, it ceases to exist.
The reason why lovers are never
weary of being together is because
they are always talking of them
selves.
Goodness in love is a sure means of
being beloved,
The more we love the nearer are
we to hate.
Women who love, more easily par
don great indiscretions than little
infidelities.
1t is impossible to love q second

to love.
