RED SNOW.

Snow is something found in polar
and Alpine regions, where it lies un-
melted from year to year, and where
the annual fall is small, colored red
by the presence of innumerable small
red plants. In it's native state the
plant consists of brilliant red glob-
ules on a gelantinous mass.
Red snow was observed by the am
clients, passage in our old friend
Aristotle having reference to it. In
1850 Saussure observed red snow in
the Alps, and concluded it was due
to the pollen OF the plant.
1t was also observed by the Arctic
expedition under command of Ross
on Baffin's Bay shores, the red col
or penetrating to depth of twelve
feet.

THE SECOND FIDDLE.

The second fiddle is on the whole
the most widely played of all instru-
ts-fortunately, since it is SO es-
pecially the instrument of harmony.
A great many men have a aptitude
for the second fiddle, and where they
take it up at once, without too much
vain experimenting with more pre-
tentious parts, they find much salts
faction in it. There is plenty of poor
work done with the second fiddle,
though. Men who are forced to it.,
by marrying or other mischance, are
very likely to play badly.
A master of the second fiddle is no
least among masters, and he has. be-
sides, the promise of inheriting the
earth.-Puck.

Guinea becomes in love, she promtly
sends a piece of string to the sister
of the lucky man. If he has no Sis
ter, she sends it to his mother or
some female relative. This becaus
the man and his male relatives are
assumed to be above taking any step
toward acquiring a wife.
Then the sister says to the man
involved: Brother, / have news; so
and-so is in love with YOU" If in
clined to matrimony, the man makes
an engagement to meet the enamored
lady. When they meet it is alone,
and they either decide to wed or drop
the entire proposition at once. There
lis no counting, for the man is not
allowed, theoretically, at least, to
waste any time on woman-not
even enough time. to make love to
the lady or to allow her to. make
love to him.
The betrothal is announced and the
engaged man i'm New Guinea is branC-
ed on the back with charcoal, but the
woman's mark of engagement to wed
is actually cut into her skin and is
never allowed to completely vanish
if either one decides to break the
engagement nothing can be done by
the offended party.
If the girl decides that, after all,
she sent the little piece of string by
mistake, the man is apt, however, to
catch her some time alone and beat
her. If the man jilt the woman, her
relatives often hunt him up and ad
minister a sound drubbing. Blood
however, is seldom shed, as the
breaking of these women-made en-
gagements is not deemed very Sc
rious matter.
Though the women propose the wed
dings in New Guinea, the condition
Of the wife is miserable and unjust
| in the extreme. The girl is merely
the property and slave of the hus
band. He can beat her unrebuked
and even kill her with impunity if sh
incur his enmity.-Spokane Spokes

WHAT THE SANDWICH WAS FOR.

A stately old professor was ap-

"WeH, then, can you tell me why

The professor studied for a long
time, yenturing several answers
which proved to be wrong. Finally,
at his wits end, he said:

Its easy, said the other.

why was the reply, zone has
seen the mist and the other has miss
ed the scene, Ha, Ha, catch on?'
"Of course do, you lunatic. But
what had the sandwich to do with it?
After the youngster had recovered
from spell of laughter, he chuckled:

the banks would appeal to the timid

Is convinced no harm would be done
to ordinary banks of commerce. Pres

Travelling a distance of 10000

and post cards of himself.
Thus far he has travelled 1886
miles, 1855 on foot and 1000 by

VOTE STANDS 26 FOR CONEIC-
TION AND II FOR ACQUITTAL
DAVIS AND SNITHSON FOR
CONVICTION.

Olympia, Aug. 27.-After spending
IA days listening to evidence and
arguments in the impeachment trial
of State Insurance Commissioner j.
H. Schively, the state senate. in ex-
traordinary session assembled, to-
night failed to convict the accused
officer on single count Twenty
eight votes, two-thirds Of the senate,
were required to convict. Two SEN
ators were absent, being excused.
The vote on the II articles that
were not stricken on demurrer or
withdrawn ranged from a total of 90
for conviction on article "a down to
none for conviction on article 25, the
last being the Spokane perjury
charge.
On article "a, which deals with
Schively's drawing salary as deputy
insurance commissioner while receiv-
ing pay as president of the Pacific
Live Stock assication and with his
writing letter of endorsement OF
the company after retiring as presi-
dent and when he was acquainted
with it's inner conditions, the state
lacked but two of the necessary two
thirds to convict Fourteen votes
were solid for Schively and men who
voted with him from start to finish
saved the day, as he needed but 13
votes to secure acquittal on any
count.
The verdict was received with
great applause by the galleries, as
Schively had many friends on hand
to witness the balloting.
Owing to the fact that the perjury
charge is pending against Schively in
the Spokane superior court not one
vote was cast against him on that
count.
Those who voted to convict on arti-
Gle "a were Allen, Anderson, ARA
smith. Bassett, Blair, Booth, Brown,
Bryan. Cameron, Cotterill, Cox, Da-
Wis, Falconer. Fatland, Fishback,
