A Darinq Skater.

Shortly after the fight at Jena in 1906 Napoleon dispatched an officer to Marshal Mortier requiring him to seize certain important towns without de- lay. When the officer arrived at the mouth of the Elbe, where the river is seven and one-half miles wide. he was threatened with serious loss of time. The river was just covered with ice; therefore to row over was out of the question. He could not (ross by the nearest bridge without going twenty miles out of his way on roads heavy with snow. So he resolved to skate across the thin. freshly formed ice Had he tried walking he would have sunk at once, but by skimming along on his skates at the top of his speed he got over the river both dry and un- harmed. By this daring deed he saved six hours. did what Napoleon bade him do and won great credit for his bold and clever exploit

DIRIco COMING NORTH

The steamer Dirigo. entirely Iemodeled, will leave Seattle for Seward tomorrow evening. She will replace the old Dora on the run out of Seward 10 the Westward, and in addition will make a trip once a month into the Cooks Inlet region. New boilers have been installed on he Dirigo and the whole boat has been overhauled and chang ed to such an extent as to be practically a new vessel. Spac- lous passenger accommodations have been added. and the Diri- go will undoubtedly be welcom- ed by the folk living out along the fringe of the world. who have depended on the Dora so long for their transportation and supplies.

BALANCING BOWLDERS.
Two of These Natural Curiosities
 Sway In the Berkshires.

For many years one of the greatest natural curiosities in Berkshire county and which in earlier and later years has been visited by armies of the GU riouS is Balance rock. four miles north of Pittsfield and near the south line of Lanesboro.
 This great marble powder is now of a deep brown color and is scared and riven by the storms of centuries It is thirty feet high, fifteen feet wide and is so wonderfully poised on a few feet at its base as to tremble at the slightest touch.
 It weighs many hundreds of tons and resembles from several points of view huge egg, a blacksmiths forge and the back of an elephant. It resembles no rock to be found on the Taconic mountain range or its foothills. near which latter it stands in sphinxlike grandeur and silence.
 It is not generally known that there is another balance rock in Berkshire about of equal interest with that in Lanesboro. It is on the highest point of the Monument mountain. where it slopes toward the east, and is TOO feet above the river at the village of Housa tonic. Its estimated weight is over 100 tons.-Pittsfeld (Mass) Cor. New York Sun

Taylor, focal agent of the Alaska Steamship Company, was in receipt of letter from the offices of his company re- gently asking him to secure the cooperation of the people of this region in petitioning Cur gress to order a re-survey of the waters of Southeastern AL aska. The hope is expressed that the Commercial Club will take the matter up and send a communication to Delegate Wickersham asking his assis- tance in the matter, and also in securing an appropriation for the installation of additional aids to navigation in these waters.

An Embarrassinq Moment.

Sir Edward Chandos Leigh tells this anecdote in Bar. Bat and Bit" It was told to him by the Dowager Lady Cowper apropos of the days when all the joints were carved on the table:
 She was a debutante. very shy, and her old host, who was about to carve a sirloin of beef, turned to her and said. Lady Anne, will you have upper or under?' Lady Cowper said to me that she had not the least idea what he meant. so in a weak moment she hazarded upper" Whereupon the host turned to the butler and said in a loud voice. Take it away and turn it. Young ladies give great deal of trouble nowadays"

LIGHT AND THE EYES.
Glarins or Dazzling Effects May Re-
 suit In Permanent Injury.

GIarine or Dazzling Effects May Re.
 suit In Permanent Injury.
 In paper read before the Interna- tional Exposition of Safety and Sanita- ton in New York city G. H. Stickney called attention to the fact that tho most common defect in lighting is ex- cesSive glare and absence of diffusion. Glare may emanate directly from the light source or be reflected to the eye by glossy surface; 1t can also be caused wherever excessive contrast of intensity appears in adjacent fields of vision. The dazzling effect is unpleas- ant and interferes with seeing. Under continued exposure eye strain and even permanent injury to the eye may result
 An unshielded light hung over a ma. chine is a common source of eye fa- dent on first glance. but when the workman's eyes have been subjected to such light for long time discom fort and inability to see result.
 Glare from glazed paper, desk tops or polished metal often induces eye trouble, headache and other indisposl- ton. though the sufferers may not be aware of the cause. The remedy is to change the relative positions so that the reflected light is kept out of the eyes as much as possible and to en large the dimensions of the light source Engineering Record.

After dis charging eleven tons of freight for local people she left for Chomley. for which place she had cannery supplies. From there she goes to Yes Bay. In addition to calling i'll at all the regular stops and those places mentioned above the Quinault will also go to Sitka.

SUMMERS CASE ENDS

In the Summers case this morning U. s. District Attor- hey Rustgard was unable to make any showing why the mat ter should be continued, having heard nothing from Washin- ton in response to his request for instructions in the case. Att torney Shackelford asked the Court for dismissal on the case and the release Of the defend ant from bail. This the Court thought was unnecessary on the grounds that the return of Not A True Bill" by the jury automatically released the de- fendant and relieved his bonds men, and there the matter rests.

Microscopic Handwritinu.

It is possible to possess a certain e!e- gance of penmanship and yet be al- most undecipherable as writer A distinguished literary man, whose name l mercifully withhold, writes d microscopically small hand. almost fairylike in it's outlines and possess ing quite elfln elusiveness-almost every word can be read as some other word. Waggish friends who received from him letters on commonplace mat ters would sometimes affect to regard them as descriptions of his exciting adventures in the Alps. the burning down of his house or something simi- larly sensational and reply according ly. After being long the subject of such merry jests he decided to silence the scoffers by using a typewriter.- London Chronicle.

BULLET AND BIBLE.
One Tried to Take Mans Life, While
 the Other Saved 1t.


 To illustrate the bullet resisting pow CTS of papers, veteran war corre- spondent brought for the inspection of some of his Journalistic colleagues Il pocketbook filled with photographs and papers and Bible. each of which on separate occasions had been instru- mental in saving his lire in the course of the Russo-Turkish war.
 In one instance he was knocked off his horse by the impact of bullet and became unconscious, only to find on re- gaining his senses that the friendly ing his body. On the second occasion. at Plevna, the Bible, which he had placed in u side pocket, defected a heavy piece of shrapnel that threaten ed to end his existence.
 He had kept the wallet intact as memento of his escape, and one of the journalists who was examining its contents came. by curious coinci- dence, upon a letter which he himself had indited to the war correspondent some thirty or forty years ago, the very existence of which he had en- tirely forgotten
 In the letter he had expressed the hope that his friend would return safe and sound from the seat of war. The words safe and sound" had been aI most cut away by the bullet, which. but for the providential interposition of the bundle of papers. would 3roba- ply have ended the war corruspond- ents slife.-Nottingham Guardian

ONE VIEW OF SLEEP.
llksned to the Freezing of Water h .
 Pond or Bowl.

Pond or boWI.
 The approach of sleep is much like the freezing of water in pond or bowl. Faint spiculae dart from the sides; notes and dots. barely perceptible. swim in the midst One might imagine the process not less grateful to the long unsheltered mere than to the merely longing brain. for as the one desires for the time being to be defended from that thought which is its own con- ponent essence. so might the other seek coat proof against the plunge of an icicle. formed of like element. Slight agitation. applied with judg- ment, will help the matter on. The in. troduction of q finger will sometimes change a bowl of congealing water to a solid mass. A bit of ice slid in at the proper moment will help on the waters freezing. and so will thinking on your latest dream help to induce slumber.
 Transparent and cold as are ice and sleep nothing will keep brain and water safer and warmer. All glances from them and naught stirs up mud or mood. The parallel holds to the last. for nothing can more resemble the rude awakening of slumber than the sudden breaking of ice. and noth- ing is more like gradual and pleasant widening than the melting thaw where beginning and end are alike in discernible.-C. E. D. Phelps in "A Farmers Notebook"

Why Not?

Among the mountaineers of Carolina there is strong feeling of resentment toward anything that savers of charity In illustration of their independence Miss Margaret w. Morley tells this story in "The Carolina Mountains"
 A stranger fed a mountain woman who. having come to town to trade stopped at the door, tired and hungry, to sell her butter The next day the woman came back with a chicken.
 Why, mo-" said the lady. "l cannot take your chicken. l gave |; ou the din ner."
 Say you did?"
 "Yes."
 Say you gave me the dinner?"
 Yes"
 Well, if you can give me a dinner why cant give you a chicken?"

Washington, April 30-The mediation board now in this city has a rough draf. of the de- mands of President Wilson. In it he states that he and the United States in general are tired of the actions of Huerta, and will not submit to any hum illa-iug conditions in Mexico. neither will Huerta or his gov ernment be recognized. The language of President Wilson's draft is plain enough for any body to see that he considers the United States large enough and able enough to get satis- faction out of Mexico even though the whole world pro- tests.

GOOD ROADS AND THRIFT.
France Sets an Example the Rest of
 the World Might Follow.


 Good farms and good roads go to- gether. Good roads mean cheaper haul ing prices. better profts-therefor more money. The wealth of nation is the wealth of it's population. The population of the country of France is known to be the most thrifty, the least poverty stricken and the best provided for of any country in the world. And France has better road system and more good roads in proportion to it's area than any other country of the same or greater size. Has France ru- ral wealth because of it's good roads or has it good roads because of it's thrifty peasantry?
 It is, therefore for us in this country to look upon France not only as q good example, but as the example of the fulillment of dreams. We cannot solve our problem in any other way than as France has solved hers with any surety of success. She builds her national highways first. owns them. controls them. repairs them. She has her departments-he divisions core spending to our states-bul their own roads as feeders of this system, con- meeting with it. joining national road to national road. Finally her parishes or communes-similar political divi- siOns to our counties-build their own roads, interlacing. connecting and bind ing together the whole into one vast network of hard surfaced roads.-Sub- urban Life

MEXICAN POTTERY.
Primitive Methods of the Skilled
 Workmsn of Durango.

Workmsn of Durango.
 Practically all the pottery used in the Durango section of Mexico. from the tiniest teacup to the largest flower pot. Is fashioned by hand from Duran. go clay, There are about twenty such factories in tue city. employing from five to fifty men each. The clay used in this industry is obtained from the base of Durango's famous Iron Noun tain. one mile north of the city.
 The vessels are nll fashioned by hand and foot power. The only instrument used is a large wooden wheel, through the axis of which passes q pole about three feet in length. terminating at the other extremity in small wooden wheel set parallel to the big wheel The operator sits so that he may turn the large wheel tset horizontally near the floor so that 1t will move freely with his foot. which in turn causes the little wheel above. on level with his chest. to revolve very rapidly. A convenient sized lump of the clay dough is placed upon this little wheel. and as the mass revolves by the i'm pulse of the laborer's foot, he hollows out and fashions the vessel.
 The skill and dexterity of these work. men is little short of remarkable With only the eye to guide. he fash. ions with astonishing rapidity vessels which do not differ one from the other in either size or shape. A single la. borer is able to complete about thirty six dozen jars of nearly quart ca. pacity in a day.-Argonaut.
