High Prices i'm Beunos Ayres.

South Americans are about the
only people who do not raise a pro-
test against the high cost of living
in the United States.
1--WE cannot kick about the high
prices in America" said Dr.. A. R.
Calvo of Buenos Ayres, because we
pay much higher prices in our own
country, particularly in the city of
Buenos Ayres This applies princi-
pally to the upper classes, for among
the working classes living is relative
ly as cheap as, if not cheaper than
in the United States. But in Buenos
Ayres it costs more to live than in
Washington, New York, or any other
of your cities. This is true also of
the larger cities in other South Amer
lean countries. In Lima, Peru, for
instance, fresh eggs cost 10 cents
apiece, and poultry is so high that
only the rich can afford to have it
on the table.
The price of eggs in Buenos Ay-
res-fresh eggs, of course-is little
less than in Lima. Beef commands a
price of so cents a pound, and other
meats are proportionately high. A
man in the professions cannot live
comfortably for less than 500 to
$500 a month, if he does any enter
tanning at ALL One cannot get hotel
accommodations, such as can be had
in Washington, say, for Sc day, for
less than S12 to 5.''-The wash

BOBCAT BATTLES WITH GOATS.
Latter With Jaybirds as Allies Came
Of TiCtOrs.

\ battle royal was witnesses re-
Gently by two game hunters, Judge
4. J. Derby and Fred E. Newby,
says a Hook River dispatch to the
New York Sun. They were return
ing to Sonny along narrow ledge a,
the side OF Mitchell's Point, when
they came upon two Angora goats
fighting with a bobcat.
We were attracted by the noise, y
says Judge Derby. The big cat
would run a short distance, stop and
spit at the goats, which, however,
charging with their heads down,
gave him but little rest. The cat was
continually splitting and the goats
gave little short, sharp bleats at in
tervals
The running fight continued for
several hundred yards across the side
of the mountain, when the cat bound
ed onto a high ledge, leaving the
goats standing at the bottom, stamp
ing their feet in anger.
"A flock of iaybirds, seeming to
be allies of the goats, alighted in a
dead tree at the back of the ledge,
chattering and mocking at the tired
cat, bolder ones of them flying down
and pecking at his head"
The two Angora goats that inhabit
the wilds of Mitchell's Point are the
property of E. Locke, an orchardist
living east of the point. They left
their domestic haunts several years
ago and began to make their home in
the mountains. They now sleep up
on a high, narrow ledge, where it
would be difficult for a man to as
cend, on the side of the rocky cliff
overlooking the Columbia. Judge
Derby and Mr.. Newly think the cat
attacked the goats, and they turned
the tables on him.

EXTINCT SCOTCH INDUSTRY.
A Fashion That Even Royal Patron.
age Could Not Save.

1t is stated that by the year 1884
the annual value Of the trade in Pals
lev shawls reached total of S5,00O,-
coo and this was not the high water
mark of the trade.
In it's final form these beautiful
shawls were made reversible, having
~ a pattern on both sides, and large
numbers OF such shawls were made
in the second half of the nineteenth
century, says London special to The
New York Sun. Queen Victoria was
a great admirer of the work Of the
Paisley craftsmen and encouraged the
industry over a considerable period
by regular purchases, giving away
great many in the form of presents.
Fashion, however, proved too
strong even for the patronage of the
Queen and the trade languished to
the point of extinction. Finally the
skilled craftsmen who had woven
these beautiful fabrics had to seek
elsewhere to find a market for their
industry. They turned to cotton,
and it was their labor which laid the
foundations of the cotton thread in
dustry with which Paisley is now as
sociated.
There can be no dispute as to the
origin of the Paisley harness shawl.
Conjecture must be content to find
reasons for the change in fashion
which killed thriving industry and
made the Paisley shawl extinct save
in collections, says The Times.
'The historian of the town has
told the story of the rise and fall OF
the industry and of the men who
made it. The shawl was evolved by
a slow process of development. In
: the first place patterns were sewn on
plain fabrics by the Paisley weavers
and not till later date were figures
woven into the cloth.
''At the close of the eighteenth
century the Paisley weavers reached
the highest point of skill and applied
their craftsmanship to the produc-
ton of what afterward became ia
nous as the Paisley shawl, which
may be defined as harness work IN
which there is an attempt to repro
duce in the loom the effects wrought
by the needle in the Indian shawl"
Many kinds of shawl were produc-
ed in damask, crepe, canton and che
mile, but the Introduction of what
afterward came to be known as the
real Paisley shawl may be assigned to
the end of the second decade of the
nineteenth century. For the produc-
ton of this article it was necessary
to use yarns which had been specially
prepared The warp consisted of fine
silk, around which was spun a coat
ing of the finest cashmere wool. The
shawl was woven face downward, and
all that the weaver had to guide him
was confused mass of floating
threads, calling for the closest atten-
ton if the work was to be properly
done.
The SHAWL thus made had
great vogue and was almost univer-
sally selected as present not only
for weddings but on many other oc-
casions. Those who are fortunate
enough to possess such shawls or
who have had the opportunity of in
specting the fine examples to be found
in public collections can not fail to
recognize the beauty of many of the
patterns employed and the great skill
in weaving shown by the old crafts
men of Paisley.

Aae of Machine Soldiers.

Particulars of the alleged invention
of machine soldier by u Danish en-
gineer, have been widely published in
the French press. The machine SOL
der consists Of a cylindrical device
which, in time of peace, could be bu-
ried under the ground, and in time Of
war, by pressing button, it could rise
to the surface, discharge 400 shots and
kill the enemy at distance of 1000
yards. The amusing calculation is
made that If line of these mechanical
soldiers were placed all the way from
Vesoul or Belford to Sedan, a distance
of 100 miles could be made practical
ly impossible for any army, especially
II the mechanical soldiers were placed
at metres interval from each 9TH
er, and in line 20 deep. This would
require only 100000 mechanical SOL
diers, and assuming that each cost
5OOf, the whole thing could be done
by spending e64,000,0O0. By pressing
few electric buttons an army of more
than 100000 soldiers would thus
spring out Of the ground and protect
certainly that part of the frontier But
all the ordinary inhabitants would first
have to be warned out Of the danger
zone. Is the age of the soldier auto
maton really coming?

CLEVER WOMEN SPIES
LINEvoF WORK IN WHICH THEY
EASILY ouTDo MEN.
To Unusual Powers Of Trickery They
Add the Charm of Femlninity and
Thus Win the Confidence
They Seek.

Women from time immemorial have
been the greatest spies in history.
Their charms and resources adapt
them to every line of apprehenslve
endeavor from tracking the erring
New York husband to obtaining the
plans and the specifications of the bat
tleships and the forts of the great
powers.
To those who are acquainted with
the history of espionage, this state
ment comes as no surprise, for nearly
all the most sensational spying cases
of recent years have been engineered
by INSCRIPTIONS women.
For when 1t comes to trickery there
is no match for clever woman, espe-
cially if, as is often the case, she has
natural beauty allied to her powers Of
stealing condolences.
Only few years back an important
German fortress had to be entirely re-
built owing to France obtaining ex-
tensive and valuable information re-
garding its armaments and the geog.
raphy of the important portion of Ger
man frontier that 1t guarded, And
this act was made necessary owing to
the ramifications of a French woman
whose attractive personality enabled
her to worm these secrets from i'm.
portant Berlin officials, in whose
homes she was implicitly trusted and
entertained.
Recently a charming woman who
posed as a governess was sentenced
to four years penal servitude for spy
ing She was employed by two Euro
pean powers, and by acting as a gov
erness to the children of naval officers
in Paris and Berlin she paved the
way to acquaintance with those hold
ing responsible positions.
With remarkable audacity she an
neXed charts and plans and sold them
in the right quarters. This she found
an easy task. having, in her position
of governess, ample means of learning
in what part Of the house such docu-
ments were stored, and it was not
until a bunch of duplicate keys of a
number of admiralty safes were found
upon her
Every one remembers the sensation
several years 40 when most complete
plans of the interior of the first Brit
ish dreadnought were published in a
German newspaper. About this time
an attractive American woman of Ger
man descent disappeared from Lon
dons society circles, where, by rea-
son of her charming personality and
apparent wealth, she had been given
q hearty welcome
An inquiry was held on the affair,
and 1t was suggested that this woman
probably knew a good deal about the
leakage of these important plans, and
probably further proceedings would
have been taken had not the honor Of
several officers of high standing in
naval and society circles been in
volved.
