CRITICISED HIS COOK.
Then tho Queen of the Kitchen Had
 Her Innings.

A citizen of Kiev, Russia, found fault with the dinner prepared by his new cook and rashly embodied his criticism in cutting sarcasms. The young woman heard him in si- lence. In the evening he knocked up against man in deserted little street. and when he ventured to re- monstrate he was vigorously as- saulted. Unable to get the better of his adversary, he determined to do what he could at least to identify him later on, and with this object in view he tore his assailant's fashion able clothes into shreds. On his re- turn home some hours later he found the cook standing at the door ready to shake the dust of his house off her feet. The gentleman, whose wounds and bruises left him in no very amiable mood, simply said ; "Joy be with youl Some time will pass before you get another place. And as to character-well, trust me to give you one that will stick"
 On the following morning he dis covered that his best clothes in the wardrobe were in tatters and his glossy silk hat an unsightly wreck. Hastily summoning the other serv- ants to his room. he angrily asked them what they knew about the matter, whereupon the nurse replied that the cook in one of her freaks of fun had donned her masters gar ments and gone out to walk in them the evening before, sticking on an artificial mustache to help to keep up the illusion. Then it dawned upon the wretched man that his assailant of the day before was the touchy, turbulent cook. Less than a fortnight later he received let ter through the city post informing him, in somewhat ungrammatical but unmistakable language: "Iou lied about the place, respected sir, when you said I could not get an other if l left yours. I've been in five different places since then, and I'll be going to the sixth next Mon- day. Trusting your bones isn't ach- ing, I remain Praskovia."

A CLEVER PIcKPocKET.
He Was a Russian and Alarmed and
 Surprised a Grand Duke.

One day at the dinner table of a Russian grand duke a French ambas- sador extolled the dexterity of his fellow countrymen, as exemplilied, among other things, in the clever ness of the Paris pickpockets.
 Il should not wonder if the St. Petersburg pickpockets could give them start" replied the grand duke. And, seeing an incredulous smile play around the features of the ambassador, he added, Will you bet that before we rise from the ta- ble your watch or some other valua- ble will not be taken from your per- son?"
 The ambassador accepted the wager for the fun of the thing, and the grand duke telephoned to the chief constable, asking him to send at once the cleverest pickpocket he could lay his hands on. The latter was to receive the full value of ev- cry article he managed to "annex" and be allowed to go umpunished.
 The man came and was put into livery and told to wait at the table along with the other servants. The grand duke told him to give him a sign as soon as he had accomplished the trick. But he had to wait a long time, for the ambassador, whose watch was the article to be experimented upon, always kept on the alert and even held his hand to his fob when conversing with the most distinguished guests at the ta- bic. At last the grand duke receiv- ed the preconcerted signal. He at once requested the ambassador to tell him the time. The latter tri- umphantly put his hand to his pock- ct and drew forth a potato instead of his watch! There was general burst of laughter. in which the ann bassador himself joined, though with a WHY face, for he was unmis- takably annoyed. To conceal his feelings he would take a pinch of snuff-his snutfbox was gone! Then he missed the seal ring from his finger and lastly the gold toothpiek which he always carried about with him in little case. Amid the hilari- ty of the guests the sham lackey was requested to restore the articles, but the grand dukes merriment was changed into alarm and surprise when the thief produced two watches, two rings, two snuffboxes, etc. His imperial highness made the discovery that he himself had been robbed at the same time.- Neue Blatt.

The Stinoer Stuna.

It was at an Indiana hotel of some pretentiousness. A travelling man had had his order filled. With the meat and vegetables and other material was one tea biscuit. Look ing with what he considered great roguishness at the waitress, he said ::
 "Say, sister, do you know that that one biscuit looks to me as if it were awfully lonesome in here all by itself?"
 "very well," replied the girl, without the twitch of facial mus cle, '1'll take it back into the kitch- en with the others then"
 And to this day that travelling man doesn't know whether he fool ed the dumbest girl on earth or was outwitted by the keenest one.-- Chicago News.

Eayptian Geometry.

The Ahmes papyrus doubtless rep resents the most advanced attain ments of the Egyptians in arlthme- tic and geometry. It is remarkable that they should have reached so great proficiency in mathematics at so remote period of antiquity. But strange indeed is the fact that during the next 2,000 years they should have made no progress what soever in it. All the knowledge of geometry which they possessed when Greek scholars visited them, six centuries B. C., was doubtless known to them 2,000 years earlier, when they built those stupendous and gigantic structures, the pyra- mids. An explanation for this stag nation of learning has been sought in the fact that their early discov- cries in mathematics and medicine had the misfortune of being enter ed upon their sacred books and that in after ages it was considered he retical to augment or modify any thing therein. Thus the books themselves closed the gates to prog ress. = History of Mathematics" CaiOri

FIGHT QUARANTINE
WASHINGTON GROWERS
TO BRING SUIT.
Claimed That Oregon's Quarantine
Order Is Unjust and Efforts VIII
BE Made to Have II Set Aside
Washington sheepmen VIII Demand
That They BE Allowed to Range In
Oregon Forest Reserves.

That a vigorous fight against the
quarantine order of Governor Cham
berlain, by Washington sheepmen, is
to be made, is shown from the follow
ing dispatch from Walla Walla, which
says:
At meeting of the Wenaha Wool
growers association held in this city
today, 1t was determined to take con.
certed action Immediately looking to-
ward the circumvention of the quar-
antine proclamation recently issued
by Governor Chamberlain against the
sheep of eastern Washington. Injunc-
tion proceedings will be instituted in
the federal court without delay to en-
join the officials of Oregon from en-
forcing the provisions of the procla-
nation.
Sheepmen of this vicinity are unan-
imous in believing the proclamation
unjust, and are active in their endeav-
ors to prevent the natural results of
its enforcement.
Should the proclamation be allowed
to stand, the sheep industry OF this
section will receive a blow from which
it will be difficult to recover, as prac-
tically all the sheepmen range their
stock within the Wenaha reserve, and
Chesnimnus and Wallowa reserves in
Oregon.
1t is the intention Of the woolgrow-
ers Of Washington to dip their sheep
as provided by law, and ask the fed
eral court to restrain the Oregon Of
ficers from preventing the ranging of
the sheep in the reserves, which are
owned and controlled by the general
government, which charges a per cap
ita tax for stock and which has issued
permits on the receipt of the required
tax from Washington sheepmen and
cattlemen.

PalouSe Wheat Prices.

correspondent from Palouse City
Wash, says of wheat prices at that
place: The price of wheat in the To-
cal market yesterday scored to 81
cents for red and a couple of cents
better for club and forty-fold. The
crop is now for the most part out of
the farmers hands and but few sales
were made. One lot of IL, 900 bushels
of red was sold at Fallon station, four
miles south of Palouse, for 81 cents.
With crop conditions and prospects
for top prices both favorable, the
standing offer of 60 cents per bushel
by local warehouse men and millers
for after-harvest delivery finds no
takers.

When the northern ladies appeared
on the streets of Richmond they die

They wore tiny, three cornered affairs

Engineers are being started by the
Cooperative Christian Federation to
lay out an irrigation system In NAL
heur and Baker counties In connec-
ton with the Willow creek and FL
dorado water systems, which the fed
GRAFTON has acquired by purchase,
says the Oregon Sunday Journal j.
Z. Desgranges, engineer in charge
for the federation, left last night for
Ontaria. He was accompanied by
his first assistant, and they will be
followed next Tuesday by full crew
OF twelve men.
The federation, after years
quiet work in perfecting its financing
and development plans, has issued
development work. Up to the pres
ent date 1t has sold about 100000
of bonds, expended about $4,000 on
purchase of reservoir sites and ditch
es, and several thousand dollars on
land options. Yesterday the trustees
filed articles of incorporation of the
Cooperation Christian Federation
Irrigation and Land company. This
is the second Of the subsidiary COM
panies organized. The first was the
Mid-oregon q Eastern railway COM
pany, which is to promote a new rail-
road through central Oregon.
Properties Partly Developed.
The irrigation properties acquired
in eastern Oregon are already part
ly developed. The Eldorado water
system is in Baker and Malheur
counties. The Willow creek system
is In Malheur county. Both will be
developed together. Two reservoir
sites have been acquired where dams
will be built creating lakes OF $50 and
1900 acres In aren, and OF contents
sufficient to irrigate 100000 acres OF
land.
The Eldorado ditch rises in the
Blue mountains, is 65 miles long and
16 townships are within It's collect
ing area. The ditch was constructed
years ago to obtain water for placer
mining in the foothills OF the Blue

PiccadillY.


A theory as to the origin of Picca-
dilly was put forward by Archdeacon
Bickersteth many years ago. He had
discovered Piccadilly among the
Chilterns, the central one of three con-
ical hills near Ivinghoe, and he learn
ed that this hill had at one time been
known also as Peaked hill. Might not
London's Piccadilly likewise be q
Peaked hill: No doubt the hill In Pic
cadilly is not remarkably peaky, but,
then, the same thing might be said Of
the Derbyshire peak itself. There Is
another Piccadilly near Aberystwyth.
and yet another near Bolton. But in
the provinces one always suspects bor-
rowing from London in such cases.

A QUEER OLD GUN.
The Way the Ancient Matchbox Was
Loaded and Fired.

Among the arms now obsolete which
formed large part Of the infantry
equipment in the days when the army
was started was the pike, which was
In the form Of spear, with fat and
pointed head, mounted on staff from
thirteen to eighteen feet long. The fire
arm in general use at the time was tht
matchbox.
What would sergeant major Of the
present day, with his men armed with
the magazine rife, think Of such a
weapon as this: ATTACHED to the lock
Of this musket was pan; also cock,
the hammer Of which was somewhat In
the form Of birds, serpent's or dogs
head. This head was split, and a screw
compressed on eased the Sits. The
piece being loaded first with powder
and then with ball, some powder was
poured into the pan. The pan was then
shut to keep this 'priming' from drop
ping out and to keep 1t dry. When the
soldier wished to fire, he fastened his
burning match into the slit Of the cock,
opened the pan. looked to his priming,
presented and pulled the trigger. The
match, falling into the powder in the
pan, fired 1t.
Between the pan and breech Of the
barrel communication was established
by means Of small hole. When the
piece was being loaded the grains Of
powder were naturally rammed and
shaken down close to this hole, and
when priming the soldier took care to
perfect the communication Of the pow
der in the pan with that in the barrel.
Thus the explosion in the pan caused
the ignition of the charge."-London
