MORN hONEI FOR APPLES.
Reports Show That Growers Will
Get More Than in Any Previous
Year.

SPOKANE, Sept. 3.-Reports COM
piled by the Spokane Chamber of
Commerce show that orchardists in
Washington will receive more money
for their crop this year than in any
previous season. The yield of COM
mercial winter apples this season is
record breaker in this state, and
the fruit is larger and of good flavor
and color. The orchards were spray
ed we'll during the growing period
and as a result the fruit is clean.
Wholesale prices are firm, and the
growers say that combination
among eastern buyers is about the
only thing which can affect the pres
ent quotations. ranging from 81 to
$3.50 a box of so pounds. Short
crops in eastern, middle western and
southern states indicate greater ac-
tivity by buyers in Northwestern or
chards. and in addition, there are
the markets in the Pacific states to
supply. which, during the coming
year, will be double that of any year
in the history of the country. Early
apples are being shipped from the
Walla Walla, North Yakima, Wenat-
chez and Spokane valleys to Boston,
New York. Chicago and southern
points, and, while the freight rates
to the eastern marts has been in
creased, it is not believed this will
materially affect large shipments in
the fall. L. G. Monroe, secretary of
the Washington State Horticultural
association, who is also secretary of
the Spokane Chamber of Commerce,
has reports that shipments of Wash
ington apples to Europe and Austria
liza will be larger than ever before.

TRAINED WESTERN HORSES.
The Ray Thompson Troupe With Buff
falo Bits Wild West.

Some years ago it was considered
impossible to completely subdue the
descendant of the wild horses of the
plains. Their ancestors roamed st
free will upon the broad prairies and
their progeny were born to the open.
The Indian was the first being to
mount and ride them. For years the
red man was their only master. Then
the cattle ranges sprung up. when the
middle west had been civilized under
the musketry of Uncle Sam. The
cowboys must have mounts, and the
wild horse was at last coralled.
But they objected to the curb and
saddle, and to this day bucking horses
are common to the plains. In fact.
one of the liveliest parts of the Buff
faa Bill entertainment are the cow
boy exhibitions of these fractions
steeds. To see these bucking pom
les and then, in the same arena. wit
ness the graceful feats of the Ray
Thompson troupe of western range
horses, one finds an immediate con-
trast and can realize the difficulties
attendant upon effort to bring into
submission these free-born equines
of the prairies.
The congress of roughriders, drawn
from the equestrian nations of the
world. are representative horsemen,
skillful and schooled through life
time spent in the saddle. At the
head of his cavalcade rides Buffalo
Bill. eX-chief of scouts, the original
and only Col. VIM. +. Cody, known
to fame through his deeds of daring,

Tapering Finger Tins.

Most mothers want their babies to
have pretty hands and fingers when
they grow up, as well as wishing
them to be attractive otherwise and
with this end in view they will seek
about for method of taperng baby 5
fingers, if they do not taper naturally.
For this purpose tiny thimbles to be
put on baby's fingers when she sleeps
can be bought, which will make them
grow tapering as the child grows
older. Mothers not realizing the
danger of this practice seize it as be-
ing a good way of accomplishing
their purpose.
This method is dangerous as we'll
as useless, for any thimble small
enough to fit baby's tiny fingers is
plenty small enough to be swallowed,
and as babies, even those who do not
suck their thumbs, often put their
fingers in their mouth when asleep,
the danger is not one to be scoffed at.
The best results can be obtained
by frequent massagings and gentle
pinchings of the fingers. The man
er in which the nails are cut in in
fancy has a great deal to do with the
latter shape of the fingers.

WISCONSIN STATE NEWS.
GIRL IN DAILY TRANCE.

Case OF BeIOit Patient Has Bamed
Physicians for Fifteen Years.
Going into a trance twice daily, becom-
ing as insensate as if she were dead,
Miss Lovinia Smith of Beoit has for the
past fifteen years baffled the physicians of
the city and not until the other day has
the fact been generally known. Miss
Smith when seen by an Associated Press
representative, admitted she had been
subject to frances. Heretofore she has
gone into the frances with astonishing
regularity, going to sleep each evening at
8 80 and u 30 The frances in each
case lasted just thirty minutes. When
the trouble first came on the doctors were
skeptical and thought it impossible that
the frances should assume such regular
ity unless Miss Smith knew what time it
was. So they turned the clock backward,
but to their amazement she went into
the trance at exactly 8 30 by correct time.
When she is in one of her frances all eff
forts to arouse her are in vain, even
the pricking of pins making absolutely no
impression on her.

WHEN THE WHALES EAR ACHES.
Leaps Out of the Water Due to the
Torture by Parasite.

Torture by Parasite.
1t was a story told by whaler
who retired from the sea when the
catch of the deep sea game had so
fallen off that there was no longer
any profit in a captains lay even
with the added earnings from the
slop chest. But as it has been con-
firmed by the biologists of the Fish
Commission the truth of the story is
unassailable.
When the whales were still fire.
quent along the lanes of passenger
travel across the western ocean moth
ing was more common than to see
the great beasts hurting their tons
of bulk clean out of the waves and
after a flight through the air fall
ing back into the sea with an enor-
nous splash and jets of foam,
spectacle never failing of interest
to the ocean tourist but not due to
any gleesome sportive disposition ON
the part of the leviathan of the deep.
Quite the contrary, the preaching
of the whale is no fun for the beast.
it is a frantic effort to rid himself
of the torment of earache. There is
a marine crustacean whose aim in
maritime career is to poster whales
to the verge of endurance, and there
seems reason to believe that some
whales have been driven insane by
their tiny parasites. 1t is a crab OF
about the size of that which is found
in the oyster. When it lodges on
the whale it infests the inner sur
face of the eyelids and the ear. BY
swift rushes on the surface the whale
is able to clear his eyes, but the
crab in the inner ear cannot be dis
lodged by any such means. One can
only imagine the ninety foot anguish
of a whale when one or more OF
these tiny foes walk with needle
pointed claws up and down the drum
Of his ear. Hence in the effort to
dislodge the pest the performance
which seems so picturesque to the
voyager.-New York Sun.
