Tartars' Holy Well.

A holy well or spring away up on
a hillside near Kazan and overlook
ing the river is believed by the Tar
tar villagers to possess extraordi-
nary healing properties. The spring
flows into a rocky basin about ten
feet square and three feet deep.
The water is a pure, clear crystal,
sparkling in the sunshine, and the
marvellous thing is that the bottom
of the well is thickly covered with
silver coins thrown in by sufferers
who came to be cured by the wa
ter, to propitiate the spirit of the
we'll. Although the tank is only
three feet deep and no watch is
kept on the spot, no one has ever
been known to touch or attempt to
take any of the coins.-London

O. K. and Its Oriain.

There have been many theories
advanced as to the origin of the ex-
preston o. X. Some of them have
been partly correct, and some have
not. Over a century ago a great
deal of the best rum and tobacco
came from Aux Cayes, which was
pronounced o. K, and the best of
anything was said to be o. K. The
meaning of this phrase is still re-
tanned and figures largely in the
business world. No doubt many
have thought that O. K. came from
"Oll Korrect." During the cam
paign of General Jackson his en-
emies did all in their power to in
jure him in the eyes of the people.
Once he signed some papers and
wrote after his name, ''This is o.
r." The Democrats took up the
phrase and said that it was an ab-
breviation of the customary indorse-
ment of the general, as ''Oll Kor-
rect" They put it on their ban
ners, and the meaning ''Oll Kor-
rect" stuck to the letters.

Raw Salmon Poisonous to Dogs.

There is no specific cure for
salmoned dogs. In general an
ounce of prevention is worth a
pound of cure. Keep the dog away
from salmon, il possible, but If ne
succeeds in poisoning himself with
this fish console yourself with the
idea that, whether he lives or dies,
he will never be salmoned again.
The percentage of salmoned dogs
which are cured is very small. Phys
ic of any kind in large quantities IS
the most effectual remedy. 1t Is
supposed that the man who said
"Throw physic to the dogs" re-
ferred to dogs which had been salm-
>oced. 1t may be well to state that
cooked salmon has no dcleterious
effect on dogs. 1t is claimed by
some experts that it is only the
blood Of the salmon which is poi
sonous to dogs. Others say the poi
son is in the head of the fish,

A Losing Agreement.

A Jenkintown grocer says that
there is nothing like being accom-
r:odating, even if it goes SO far as to
cause a loss in cash. About year
ago a character well known in that
section of Montgomery county, who
lives alone in a small house nearly
mile back in the country, happen
ed to be in the store and said his
stock of provisions was low. He
asked the grocer to sell him 8 cents
worth of -four. "Why don't you buy
a dollars worth ?" asked bystand-
er. 81 amt got no bag" was the
reply. "Oh, we'll, III lend you one" :"
said the merchant. "But l amt
got no money with me" the man
said. "You can pay for it when you
bring back the bag was the reply,
and the man went home with his
-four. One day last week the man
was again in the store, and the gro
Ger said to him: II have little bill
against you for -four Do you re-
member about it?" His eyes open
ed with astonishment as he gazed at
the grocer and replied, 81 amt
brought the bag back yet" The
bill has been charged to profit and
loss.-Philadelphia Record.

HIS INTRODUCTION.
Tho Happy Way a Young FELLOW Goa
Acquainted at Home.

How a young fellow who had got
into the habit of spending all his
evenings away from home was
brought to his senses is related in
the Baptist Commonwealth:
One afternoon his father came TO
him and asked him if he had any
engagement for the evening. The
young man had not.
"WeIl, I'd like to have you go
somewhere with me-"
"AIl right" said he. "Where
shall | meet you:

MORBID JEALOUSY.
A Disease That, Unless /. Is Killed,
VIII Ruin Aay Life.

When a man is afraid to remark
at the breakfast table, even mildly
and casually, that, from what h:
had heard, Cleopatra was beaatl-
ful woman it is fair to asSame that
the specter Of constant jealousy
dwe!ls in that household. When a
wife fears to loo!, at the moon be-
cause size may be accused of admir-
ing the taan in it the husband needs
to be gently reminded that he Is
taking vc:y rapid snort cut to kill
ing the love he :ecms to hold so
sacred. Love is led BY confidence,
trust, faith and serene, 7estful rell-
ance, but morbid jealousy is a poi
son of doubt, suspicion and lnIus-
tice that dulls the love it does not
deadeE.
Jealousy is a disease that can be
cured only by the object, not by
a2y one else in all the world. No
matter how gentle, kind, forbearing,
forgiving and forgetting the object
of it may he, this in itself will not
cure the attacks. The subject
whose heart is thus swayed by ferce
gales of jealousy must first awaken
to the folly of it, the injustice of it !;
must be conscious of the trail Of
bitterness and unhappiness it brings
to both, must realize the cruel con-
tinued assault on the tolerance,
love, loyalty and patience of the
other and when the next attack
comes seek by strength Of will, by
force of character, by every weapon
in the armory of the soul, to kill
the feeling. Jealousy must be killed
in the thought. In the mind, the
battle-ground of the soul, must the
fight of determination be waged.
In the thought must the jealousy
be neutralized by faith, conquered
by Justice and transformed by trust
full love into a restful, abiding conf
dence that only absolute proof and
certainty of just cause for jealousy
can ever reawaken. - William G.
Jordan in Delineator.

No Room For Argument.

Promotion time in the public
schools is invariably season of un-
due elation, and of heartburnings
among the pupils. 'GDid you get
promoted ?" asked a small girl in
front of a Brooklyn school of a
larger companion.
"Yes. 1t was easy for me in that
class" was the reply.
"Well, they left me back" re-
marked the small girl, and then,
with bitterness, 'sBut you're not so
smart anyway"
ooh, l don't know" said the 9TH
er, with an air of superiority.
"Thcre amt many in this school
that has a better education than me.
I was promoted, and the teacher was
left back."-New York Globe.

AMBERGRIs.
This Valuable Substance Comes From
Diseased Sperm Whales.

Ambcrgris is one of the most val
liable products of the sea. The
mariner who spies floating on the
waves grayiSh mass, fatty in ap-
pearance, will, if he knows what
ambergris is, betray considerable ex-
element, for the substance brings
high prices.
The origin of ambergris was once
a mystery, but it is so no longer. 1t
is a morbid secretion due to dis
ease of the liver of the sperm whale,
in the intestines of which animal
Jumps of it are occasionally, though
rarely, discovered. DR.. G. H. Ste
venson of the United States fish
commission, who made a special
study of the subject, said that the
whales which yield ambergris are
invariably sickly and emac:ated.
Anciently the substance was
known as amber, a name which was
subsequently applied to the fossil
gum now comaonlv so called. But
to diStin glish the two one was call
ed amber gris' (gray) and the 9TH
er amber jaune" yellow.
So it appears that ambergrls
means simply gray amber. Like the
fossil gum, pieces Of it were found
now and then on the seashore,
where they had been cast up by the
waves: hence doubtless the giving
of the same name to both.
Ambergris usually contains the
beaks of cuttlefshes, on which the
sperm whale feeds. Sometimes it Is
black, but the finest is gray in color.
When dried, to cure it, it is light
and inhammable and yields an odor
family resembling honey. On being
melted by heat it evaporates slowly,
leaving no trace behind.
The substance has been used for
centuries in sacerdotal rites OF The
church and with fragrant gums was
formerly burned in the apartments
of royalty. To some extent it was
employed as a medicine and to ia
vor certain dishes. Nowadays it is
utilized almost exclusively by per-
fumers in the preparation of fine
scents, being first converted into a
tincture by dissolving it in alcohol.

Cells of the Honeyeomb.

Honeybecs are generally credited
with instructive skill in making the
cells of the comb hexagonal iii
shape, but it is probable that this
construction is merely the ordinary
result of mechanical laws. Solitary
bees always make circular cells, and
the bees in a hive no doubt make
them circular also, but mechanical
pressure forces them into a hex
agonal form. A we'll known natural
ist in speaking of the matter says
that all cylinders made of soft, pl!a-
bic substances become hexagonal
under such circumstances.

STATE COLLEGE, LAND
MAY BE SOLD SOON
Reported That 10000 Acres of
Brewster Flat VIII BE
Sold.

BREWSTER, May 31.-It is re-
ported here that the state college
land in this county which belong
to the Washington state college at
nullman, will be sold within the
next twenty days. This tract is very
valuable and contains about 10000
acres Of very choice land, especially
adapted to fruit raising. 1t was
thrown open for homestead entries
fifteen years ago and later withdrawn
by the state Of Washington and do
mated to the state college at Pullman
A movement was started last March
to have this land thrown open for
homestead entry again as it is claim
ed by the contrasting parties that this
act on the part of the state was I'M
constitutional. They said they were
only DESTROYS of getting the prop
erty into the hands of people who
would improve it and it is under
stood no objections will be offered
by them to prevent the sale of the
tract.
Several movements have been
started by irrigation companies dur
ing the last few years to build a
canal, taking the water from the
Methow river to irrigate this and
several other tracts of land adjoining.
These plans all failed as the college
officials refused to sign up for water
and were unwilling to place the land
on the market, consequently not only-
this, but several other equally valu-
able tracts in this county were kept
in idleness. which it is claimed, with
the acquisition of water would con-
vert them into the greatest fruit pro-
ducing sections in the state.

Okan0gan Wool Clip Comes.

RIVERSIDE, May 31.-The first
lot of OkanOgan's spring wool has
arrived at the head of navigation. 1t
consists of two wagonloads of the
huge sacks in which wool is usually
shipped to market and came from
the fiocks of Loudin the LOOMS
section. The clip this spring will
yield between seven and eight pounds
a sheep on that grade of sheep, and
Mr. Loudin always receives from two
to three cents pound over the mar
ket price, owing to the fact that
Okanogan wool is free from sand
and dirt. Messrs Evans Bros, Died
richs, Schwartz and Barbary, also Of
the Loomis section. will soon send
their spring clips to Riverside for
shipment to market by steamer, but
it has not yet been learned whether
Clay Fruit and his neighbors of the
upper Okanogan valley will ship by
steamer as usual or adopt the rail
shipments, since the completion of
the branch of the Great Northern
railway to Oroville, which is quite
close to their ranges.

TELLS OF PROGRESS
AND PROSPERITY
The Developments of Four Years
Makes Radical Changes in
Appearance of Country.

The Big Bend Chief tells the fol-
lowing pleasant story of progress,
prosperity and plenty. that illustrates
the remarkably rapid and radical
change that has taken place in this
part of the state Of Washington in
the past few years:
''P. B. Bunting, rancher living
about ten miles northwest Of Wilson
Creek, spent the day here Wedass-
day. He says he has over a hundred
acres of wheat that is knee high and
heads are beginning to snoot out.
The stand is also good. There are
many other such fields in his locality.
While the spring was two weeks
later this year and the seeding was
not completed until late in April the
prospect at present indicates that the
harvest will be as early as usual.
Mr.. Bunting took up his residence
On his ranch about four years ago
and says that at that time there was
not homestead shack TO be seen as
far as the eye could reach. All that
met the gaze was the everstretching
sage brush plain. Now all is chang
ed-in the short space of four years
one could hardly believe this to be
the same landscape. Everywhere
the SagebruSh has been cleared and
in its stead are waving fields of
growing grain.
Water is plentiful in the locality
of Mr.. Bunting's ranch and plenty of
it can be secured at a moderate depth
This was not known at the time he
located and for long time the near
est we'll to his ranch was two miles
distant Now all the farmers in the
neighborhood have good wells of wat
er at their doors.
Some land that formerly was
passed over by homesteaders and con-
sidered worthless is now covered
with fine fields of growing grain.
There are signs of prosperity,
peace and happiness evident, not
only in this particular neighborhood,
but throughout the entire Big Bend y

QUITS ATTEMPT TO
PROVE SUBSTITUTION
Attorney for Widow of NiChOlai de
Raglan AbandOns Contention
and Body is Rcburied.

PHEONIX, AriZ., May 31.-After
an investigation that lasted until
midnight Attorney Scheffer, repre-
senting the widow" of Nicolai de
Raglan, this morning abandoned the
contention that there had been a SUBJ
stitution of bodies and stipulated
that the proceedings brought by his
client in Chicago seeking widow S
rights in the De Raglan estate shall
be abandoned. The Identification of
the dead woman who had masquer-
AIDED as man, the consular agent
De Raglan of Chicago, is absolute.
De Raylan's remains will be rein
TERED in Phoenix. Baron Schlippen-
bach, the Russian consul, states that
efforts are being made to find her
relatives in Russia, but it is an even
probability that the estate will go to
the state of Illinois. 1t amounts to
about $12, 900, mainly in cash in the
bank.
The theory that De Raglan was a
nihilist is ridiculed.
Evidence introduced shows that De
Raglan was not on good terms with
the woman to whom shcmfwfwyp
ried a.sd that efforts had been made
from Phoenix to place all funds and
papers oat of the Chicago woman's
reach. AS De Raylan's naturaliza-
ton is voided by her sex, she now il
