.SLEEPLESS SLUMBER PARTY.

A slumber party without sleep is
like fudge party in Lent, but one oc-
Cured in Hamilton last week at which
nine young ladies we're the guests of
honor and they pronounce it one of the
most gorgeous occasions of their lives.
The party occurred at the J. J. How
ley home last week.
How much sleep can nine girls sleep
ing in one small room get-nine girls,
each determined to tell everything she
knows, and tell it first? How much
sleep can a person sleeping in an ad-
joining room get? These are interest
ing questions, because upon their
answer depends the future of the
slumber party as social function in
Hamilton. If you leave it to the
guests at this party, it is social in
stitution that will endure; if it IS LETT
to the old fashioned cynic who believes
in little slee p each night, it is the
most fantastic sort of entertainment.
Well, girls, let's go to sleep-All
right-Good night-Good night-Say,
did Mary tell you about Hattie's new
fellow, he's just awful-Cau't you be
still-That hat of Roses is horrid; ia
think she'd learn sometime to-Have
you heard the latest? That ring that
Elias wearing is from-Don't-Don
Stop your kicking-But. say, don't
she use the paint-Well, if l we're in
her place I'd just tell him to go and
o, girls, you don't know what I heard
about him-Good night-Good night
Don't you tell her that or she'll-Yes
but you told about my-Good night
Good night didn't-My land it's
almost morning-Yes it's getting day
light-Good night Good night-Well
I'm going to get up or I'll be late for
work, and-Good night-Good night
p That was some-just some-of the
conversation. No ear could have
caught it all; not all of it could be pub
lished without causing trouble. Nor
pheus had little show against the
vortex of voices, the conflicting
thoughts, the many things that just
had to be told. But it was fun. and
the guests do not grow tired telling
of it.

w. H. KIRBY OF WASHINGTON TO
ACCEPT POSITION,
HAS HAD WIDE EXPERIENCE
Was Connected with the Wenatchee
Association and Largely Responsible
for Its Success.

w. H. Kirby was employed as man
ager of the Bitter Root Fruit Growers
association at a meeting of the board
of directors Friday evening. The
meeting was called for the sole pur-
prose of selecting a manager, and
numerous applications were con-
sidered.
Mr.. Kirby, who came here from
Cashmere, Wash, at the request of
the association, is one of the men
who are largely responsible for the
great success of the Wenatchee as
sociation. He worked with that
association three years, and when it
was learned that his services were
wanted here the Wenatchee associa-
ton offered him a substantial raise in
his salary to retain his services. Thus
the Bitter Root Fruit Growers associa-
ton had to bid high for his services.
He signed contract to remain here
for year at $500 a year
The directors of the association. d.
L. Woodruff, A. V. Platt, ], O. Read,
E. A. Johnson and C. M. Allen, feel
that they were very fortunate to
secure a manager who is so much in
demand. When the proposal was FIRST
made that he be sent for it was not
thought he would consider the propo-
sitiou. 1t is a difficult position to fill,
but it will be gratifying to the
growers to learn that it will be filled
by man who has had a wide and
successful experience.
George f. Brooks, the present man
ager, will conduct a com mission busi-
ness on his own account. He usually
buys outright, and was very success
full in this business before becoming
manager of the association.

Animals That Bloom.

Anemones, sponges, the sea cucum-
bers and certain other growths which
bloom and apparently behave in all re-
spects like plants are really animals.
The petals of the anemone, resem-
bling those of a chrysanthemum, are
really tentacles to catch food and put
1t into the hollow tube which forms
the stomach, where it is digested. The
sea cucumber has a f1attened body. II
occasionally moves at snairs pace
over the mud or sand, digging its
petals or arms into the sludge for food,
to obtain which it swallows fair pro
portion of mud. 1t has power to sting
and so keeps away its enemies.
The sea lily so exactly resembles the
common lily that it is difficult to real
lie that it is an animal and belongs
to the starfish family. 1t has stalk
two feet long, with disk for body
The tentacles close round the disk
which has a mouth, and completes the
deceptive likeness. They are the old
est form of animal life on earth, and
their fossils are called "stone lilies"
These creatures were believed to be
plants, and many pople still refuse tc
believe otherwise.-London Standard.

Vain. nf Iaunhtsr.

Having vainly tried many and vari-
GUS remedies to restore to health a
business man whom l know and who
had fallen into a morbid condition
owing to years of overwork, a famous
Baltimore physician at last persuaded
his patient to take a course Of funny
stories, one at each meal, with an ex-
ira two at dinner" said a Baltimore
man. 1.-THE patient, a solemn and
gloomy fellow, at first rebelled, but
finally, falling in with the idea, adopt
ed the course recommended and was
In the end restored to health, the eff
feet of laughter being entirely to
change his mental and bodily condi-
ton. Laughter, In fact, Is one Of the
cheapest and most effective Of medi-
cines, breaking up stagnation Of mind
and body and sending healthy vibra-
ton through ones system. There is
very little the matter with the man
who can enjoy hearty laugh. Mash

FAC sinister chameIeon.

A chameleon which had been a long
while in a cage had become so entire
" the color of the wood that it was
among plants and on the grass, but IT
did not turn green again, and then
left it on a vase of flowers, In the
center of which l placed a tall, stiff
spray Soon the creature found its
way to the very summit, and there 1t
remained, as "stin as DEATH" until a
fly happened that way. Then there
was a very slight movement, click
was heard, and the chameleon re-
sumed it's silent observation as II no
fly had been swallowed.
There is something cunning and
weird. almost sinister, In the express
sion of that very small eye in the
center or apex of its mobile globe, now
turned upward now downward, SC
quietly, yet so watchfully, rarely the
two eyes looking the same way. The
chameleon must surely be endowed
with duality of brain, for it certainly
must take in two ideas at once through
its two eyes, or why should it move
both so ceaselessly In contrary direc-
lions? Motionless is the animal hour
after hour, the eye being the only sign
of life it displays. The one at the top
of spray in the vase of flowers re-
NAMED In the same position day after
day, only throwing out it's tongue to
catch a fly when one flew by and
otherwise moving only its ever rest

A Tartar courtshlp.

Among the Tchulian Tartars curl
Gus mode Of popping the question"
exists. The Tchulian bachelor In
search of wife, having filed brand
new pipe with fragrant tobacco,
stealthily enters the dwelling of the
fair one upon whom he has bestowed
his affections, deposits the pipe upon a
conspicuous article Of furniture and
retires on tiptoe to some convenient
hiding place in the neighborhood, local
etiquette requiring that he should ex-
ecute this strategic movement appar-
entity undetected by the damsel Of his
choice or any other member OF her
family. Presently he returns without
further affectation Of secrecy and looks
into the apartment In a casual sort Of
way. A single glance at the pipe he
left behind him enables him to learn
the fate of his proposal If it has been
smoked he goes forth an accepted and
exultant bridegroom; II not, the offer
of his hand and heart has been so ir-
revocably rejected as not to be even
worth pipe of tobacco.

Wild pous In Africa.

The wild dogs in Africa are more
feared by the natives than any other
beasts, for, while they are not to be
dignified by the term Of game, they
run in packs and seem to know that
the native is afraid Of them. Native
burden bearers will often take their
chances in passing around buffalo
herd and will hardly notice lion, but
when they hear the howl Of the wild
dogs they drop whatever they may be
balancing on their heads and take to
the trees. There they are frequently
held captive until their cries summon
assistance Crossing the trail Of large
game, these dogs often interfere with
the pursuit At distance the hunter
is likely to mistake them for leopards
or some Of the smaller game. Intense
disgust follows the wounding Of wild
dog, for then, according to the ethics
Of the chase, the true sportsman must
pursue and kill the beast. These dogs
are not degenerates, but are natural
mongrels. They have low bodies COW
cred with hair Of coach dog growth,
bushy tails and powerful paws.-Mc-
Clure's Magazine.

The PITT Diamond.

While Pitt, the grandfather Of Lord
Chatham, was governor Of Fort st.
George In 1893 he became acquainted
with a jewel merchant named jam
chund, who brought diamond OF
great size for sale. He asked 100000
for it In the rough. 1t should, Of
course, have been bought on behalf OF
the company, but Pitt, seeing money
in it, could not resist the temptation
of making a private bargain. he be-
came the possessor Of the stone for
the sum of EGO, 400, and he was quite
satisfied that he had behaved honor
ably when he paid the man, who on
his part was also content. But the
diamond was known to be worth more
than Jamchund had received, and the
transaction gave rise to a good deal
Of gossip, which in no way decreased
when later on Pitt had the stone cut
In England and sold it to the regent OF
France for f135,O0O. Even that enor'
nous sum did not represent It's true
value. The stone was set in the royal
crown of France. 1t weighed 41(
carats in the rough, but the cutting re-
duced 1t to 1875 carats.-Mrs. Penney's

MExIcANS' STAFF OF LIFE.
The TortilIa Is Their Bread-FrijoIes
Are Boiled Beans.

Inc iortIlia is ineIr breao-frtlotoe
Are Boiled Beans.
The tortilla is the ancient Indian
bread of Mexico. Its only constituent
is Indian corn (maize), which the wo-
men soak in limewater until the ker-
nels are at the point of bursting, then
wash thoroughly until it is free from
lime, when they grind it by rubbing it
on a large block of stone, especially
cut for the purpose, with smaller
stone which they hold in their hands.
The opera ton looks very much like
rubbing clothes on washboard and
is laborious and tedious one. The
lime renders the corn dough adhesive
like wheat flour dough, and it is easily
patted between the hands into cakes
the size and shape of an ordinary grid
dlecake and is baked upon a thin
stone griddle. Though no salt or
leaVen is added, fresh tortillas are ex
ceedingly palatable.
The one other food mainstay is fri
joles-ordinary beans. They are boiled
to a mush and with liberal quantity
of lard are warmed as required in
fat earthen dish that answers for
frying pan. The very poor people do
not always have the luxury of frijoles
and when they do have them cannot
always afford the lard.-New York

Judge Cross, of the United States Dis
trict Court, has dismissed the petition of
the Siegel-Cooper Company of New York
for an Injunction restraining the courts of
New Jersey from prosecuting the depart
ment store firm under indictments for IL
legally selling Intoxicating liquorsin Plain
field without license. This by no means
ends the matter; in fact it opens the way
still wider for the long litigation that
seems certain to ensue before the issue is
finally adjudicated. Judge Cross holds
that the New York corporation did not
not show that 1t was engaged in interstate
commerce, and this is In exact conformity
with the charge of Supreme Court Justice
Bergen to the grand jury which found the
indictments.
Justice Bergen's instructions were that
where orders were taken by the depart
ment store agents In Plainfeld, the orders
filed In New York, the liquors sent out to
Plainfield G. o. D. and the money collect
ed in that city, the whole transaction was
within this state and came under the law
and authority OF this state. Inc Unlted
States District Court judge declares he
would in no wise interfere with the pro-
cess of the state courts, practically be-
cause of the facts as described by Justice
Bergen.
The prospects are. therefore, that the in
dictments will be pressed In the state
courts, and possibly be carried to the
Court of Errors and Appeals. And then
If any interstate question remains to be
settled, the Federal courts will again be
appealed to. But thus far the New Jer-
sew laws. the New Jersey courts and New
Jerseys Jurisdiction over the question of
foreign department store G. o. D. liquor
sales are recognized as established and
authoritative. -Nesoark News.
