PREVENTION OF FOREST FIRES Great Losses Sustained Annually by the States of the West by Forest Burnings—Work for the Department of Forestry. Investigation of the causes, effects and means of prevention of forest fires in the West will be carried on this summer in Washington, Oregon, California, Arizona, New Mexico, Utah, Colorado, Wyoming, Montana, Idaho and South Dakota. Besides field study, designed chiefly to discover means of preventing the evil, the division of forestry is making a historic record of all important fires which have occurred in the United States since 1754. Although yet incomplete, this indicates that the annual recorded loss by forest burnings in the United States is, at the very lowest, $20,000,000. It will probably run far above this sum, as the Pacific Coast States have been only partially examined. Accounts of several thousand disastrous fires have been obtained in the seventeen States already examined. Michigan, Minnesota and Wisconsin have suffered the most severely. These records are taken chiefly from newspapers, and where it has been possible to compare them with the figures of practical lumbermen, it has been found that the tendency of the press is to underestimate the damage. The former official estimate of the wooded area of the United States, placed at 26 per cent, has been raised to 37 per cent by the latest computations of the division of geography and forestry of the United States geological survey. That office has issued a bulletin containing new figures on American forests, some of which tend to prove the national timber resources greater than is supposed. The two latest States to be examined are Oregon and Washington. The former is estimated to contain 234,653 million feet, in standing timber; the latter, 114,778 million feet. Destruction by fire has been exceedingly serious in Washington. On the assumption that the burned areas contained on an average as much timber as the untouched portion, 40,000 million feet have been destroyed since lumbering began. This amount would supply all the sawmills of the United States for two years and at a value of newspaper man, and dread the time when I shall get old and stupid and have to kill my own bright things which made the people glad, sold newspapers, and made Americans know me." BUSINESS REVIEW. R. G. Dun & Co.'s Monthly Review of Trade Conditions for February in Southern California. Trade conditions for the month of February throughout the country were good. A large volume of business moved, railroads showing large traffic gains over last year. Export trade was very heavy. Cotton showed great price strength. Food products and some raw materials were quotably lower. The steel and iron industry continues its great output. Money has been active. Sound business conditions and satisfactory collections are shown in a minimum number of failures for the month, with remarkably low average of liabilities. In our immediate district the generous rain that fell on the 4th of March, breaking the long drought, has put new life into all branches of business and resurrected confidence in conditions for the year's prosperity. The vitality of early-sown grain had been sapped, and in some localities was beyond redemption. In other places many acres of barley, not so seriously effected, straightened up and bettered considerably. It seems likely that with occasional rains from now on a good hay crop, if nothing more, will be harvested from barley fields that seemed a total loss. The late grain is saved, and prospects of a good beet crop have materially increased; the farmers given courage to try their chances again in beet raising. The benefit to the deciduous-fruit grower is apparent, since the trees were budding prematurely, which always places them in possible danger from late frosts. The only rain damage reported was to navel oranges still on the trees. The scarcity of cars held packing companies back in picking, and many navels hanging on the trees dead ripe were brought to the ground. Citrus shipments reached for the season to March 8th 7127 carloads. It is estimated this is about half the crop. Less lemons and more oranges in proportion are being shipped than two The two latest States to be examined are Oregon and Washington. The former is estimated to contain 234,653 million feet, in standing timber; the latter, 114,778 million feet. Destruction by fire has been exceedingly serious in Washington. On the assumption that the burned areas contained on an average as much timber as the untouched portion, 40,000 million feet have been destroyed since lumbering began. This amount would supply all the sawmills of the United States for two years, and at a value of only 75 cents a thousand feet means a dead loss to the State of $30,000,000. The amount actually logged in the same period has been 38,000 million feet, making the estimate by the same comparison of areas. Oregon has suffered less from both fire and lumbering, owing to the smaller facilities for marketing the product. The division of forestry is in consultation with three important railway companies over a contemplated innovation in American railway methods. These roads—the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe, the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul and the Zanesville & Ohio—are considering raising tie and pole timber on a large scale on their nonutilized right-of-way lands. Other large Western roads are also interested. This action is due chiefly to the failing of the natural supply of this material in all but the newer portions of the United States. About 1,000,000 acres of timber are consumed annually by railroads in buildings and repairing; and at the present rate of timber depletion, the increased cost of such material will soon be a serious factor in railroad economy. The Santa Fe line has already done some experimental planting, and the results have done much to stimulate interest. This road planted 1280 acres in catalpas fifteen years ago. The total expense was $128,000; but it is estimated by the railroad officials that in ten years more the tract will have produced $2,560,000 worth of poles, ties and posts. Having become convinced of the necessity of growing their own timber, the railroads naturally wish to take advantage of the assistance offered by the government to tree planters—which consists of expert advice and of the working plans for planting, based on personal examination. The object of the government is to demonstrate the value of tree plantations to land owners, especially those in the treeless regions of the West. A system of co-operation for the coming summer has been arranged between the division of forestry and the forest-reserve work of the United States geological survey. The latter is a branch of the Department of the Interior. Field parties of each division will collect information desired by the other, and in some instances exchange of men may be made. This system marks a distinct change from conditions of a few years ago, when there was sharp rivalry between the scientific branches of government service. The geological survey will give special attention to collecting data on forest any increase, the farmers grower is apparent, since the trees were budding prematurely, which always places them in possible danger from late frosts. The only rain damage reported was to navel oranges still on the trees. The scarcity of cars held packing companies back in picking, and many navels hanging on the trees dead ripe were brought to the ground. Citrus shipments reached for the season to March 8th 7127 carloads. It is estimated this is about half the crop. Less lemons and more oranges in proportion are being shipped than two years ago, when crop was nearly same size as present crop. Celery will be out of fields this month. Crop falls 400 cars short of early estimates, owing to unpropitious weather, but the high prices that have prevailed make up for loss in bulk. There is now a good prospect for a large crop of beans in all parts of the State. Lima seed is likely to be scarce. A heavy Alaskan demand for beans, as well as dried fruit, is anticipated, and in both cases stocks are light. The only dried fruit in any quantity still left with producers is prunes, which accounts for lack of price strength apparent for this product. Raisin growers are satisfied with outcome of season's marketing. The crop was not of as good quality as that of last year. Growers having first-class raisins received as high as 5½ cents per pound; even those having second-quality raisins realized for their product double that received one year ago. Local clearances for the month of February showed increase over last year. Money is easier. Interest in oil industry grows. A conservative estimate of present output south of Teachapi is about 200,000 barrels per month. Failures in February, 12; liabilities, $78,000; assets, $53,000. Los Angeles, Cal., March 9, 1900. Woozy Yarn. An Anaheim correspondent of the San Francisco Examiner sends that paper the following woozy story: "James Pachstein and W. K. Krebs arrived in town on Feb. 27th on their way home from mining claims they have been working in the Santiago mountains, near the Riverside county line. They left two months' work undone, having been driven out of the hills by earthquakes, which they claim have been almost continuous since the shock of Christmas morning. During the last week of their stay they say the mountain in which they were working was in a continual quiver. Krebs was made violently sick on several occasions, finally succumbing to a dizziness from which he has not yet recovered. Pachstein was caught on Feb. 22d by a slide in a hole where he was working and severely bruised. The men intended to brave it out, but the continued unrest of the earth became so alarming that they were finally seized with terror. The last heavy shock felt by them was on Feb. 26th at 5 o'clock a.m., when they were awakened by a violent age to try their chances again in beet raising.

After his lecture before the journalistic class at Cornell university a sophomore asked Eli Perkins when he became a journalist. "Never," said Ell, "but I do hope, after twenty years' more experience, to become a newspaper man." "Well, what is the difference?" asked the sophomore. "Just this, my son," said Ell. "A callow reporter calls himself a journalist. If he finally shows great brain and industry and escapes the fool-killer, he may become a reporter. After years of study and toll, and when his brains are stuffed with wisdom, wit and discretion enough to kill his own editorials and 'make up' a sixteen-page Sunday edition, then I say he's a newspaper man." "Then this is as high in the profession as he can get?" "Yes; he is now at the pinnacle. By and by, when he gets lazy and stiff, and old and stupid, they reduce him to the position of editor. "An editor is a decayed newspaper man with bunions on his brain, chilblains on his heart, corns on his ears, and warts and dyspepsia on his liver. The business of the editor is to sleep uptown all day and, at night he prowls around a newspaper office, and at midnight he takes a blue pencil and assasinates every bright and readable idea that the smart reporters have brought in during the day." "The editor is all epithet, while the reporter is all proof. The editor calls a man a chicken thief and gets sued for libel, while the reporter, kodak in hand, interviews him while picking off the feathers in the back yard, and the next day the thief takes a whole advertisement to 'shut up' the newspaper. "No," continued Ell, "I hope I am a During the last week of their stay the men say the mountain in which they were working was in a continual quiver. Krebs was made violently sick on several occasions, finally succumbing to a dizziness from which he has not yet recovered. Pachstein was caught on Feb. 22d by a slide in a hole where he was working and severely bruised. The men intended to brave it out, but the continued unrest of the earth became so alarming that they were finally seized with terror. "The last heavy shock felt by them was on Feb. 26th at 5 o'clock a.m., when they were awakened by a violent jerk and a heavy rumbling that seemed to come from immediately under the crust of the mountain. Some large boulders were shaken from the sides of the peak and crashed into the canyon, starting several large slides on the way. "On January 22d and February 11th heavy shocks were experienced about daylight and again about 8 o'clock in the evening. The shock on Christmas was no heavier than either of these. On that occasion a large pine tree in the camp was razed by an immense rock. "The mountain in which the men were working is in the granite district and several miles from a habitation. Free gold in small quantities is found in nearly all the canyons in that section. Prospectors there have frequently reported earthquake disturbances that were not felt in the lowlands. A slight shock was felt there on the night of Feb. 22d, but previous to that there had been no shock since the general disturbances of January." J. Randall Youatt of Chicago, a well-known dog fancier, third vice-president of the Press Club and auditor of the Associated Press, is convinced that long distance attacks upon Gen. Buller should emanate from the British war office, if at all. He is sorry he undertook to tell the grizzled veteran in her Majesty's service how to cross the Tugela and relieve beleagured Ladysmith. The postal Telegraph Company has sent in a bill for $138, for tolls on a cablegram that was intercepted at London and returned to the sender. Youatt is pro-British and pronounced in his views. He didn't like the manner in which Buller managed affairs, and resolving himself into a board of strategy, undertook to give the General some advice of which he believed the British leader stood in great need. The trouble of puffling gentleman, whose informant as to make his judgment of value, said to me reeals real damage to the fruit, pression of the markets for shipping because of fearous damage later on, does an average loss of at least cents per box. With a drop of from 30,000 to 40,000 Southern California, this loss very considerable. While doubtless much by careful observation prevented loss in the future fled that before we understood of the trouble sufficient it, we must have expected that is impossible by growth in it we have another strang insisting upon the estates a federal citrus expert in Southern California date possible. The new and the stranged discoloring gradually appearing in men with the serious diseases, all call for research men, on the ground that plied in no other way.

A Backs, Jr., Secretary Loan Association, Anah Life and Strength Restored to Palsied Limbs Mrs. H. T. Salisbury, of Follett Street, Pawtucket, R. I., says: "About eight years ago, I was taken with nervous prostration which was followed by a partial paralysis of the lower limbs. The doctor called it locomotor ataxia. I could not direct my steps, and I would often fall down. I tried many remedies but was not benefited until I began taking Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People. Several doctors had told me that there was no cure for my trouble, but my improvement continued and I took the pills steadily for two years. At the end of that time I had regained full control of my limbs. The pain left me and has never returned." Mrs. H. T. Salisbury, Subscribed and sworn to before me this 21st day of August, 1899. CARLOS L. ROGERS, Notary Public. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People contain, in a condensed form, all the elements necessary to give new life and rhoess to the blood and restore shattered nerves. They are an unfailing specific for such diseases as locomotor ataxia, partial paralysis, St. Vitus' dane, sciatica, neuralgia rheumatism, nervous headache, the after-effects of la gripe, palpitation of the heart, pale and sallow complexions, all forms of weakness either in male or female.

In a general way, Mr. McFadden's remedy—deep plowing, thorough irrigation and cultivation—is doubtless in use. COST OF SENATORS. The United States Senate has been popularly dubbed "The Millionaires' Club." It is the cheapest club in the world for the poor man to join. Its perquisites, daily increasing, are too numerous for reckoning. The newly prepared report of the secretary of this dignified body reveals some amusing facts. It shows, for instance, that a Washington drug firm received in the last fiscal year more than $1700 for medicines and toilet articles. These reasons why whisky is sent to sea. Large shipments of whisky in bond will be made from Baltimore to European ports within the next month or two. A shipment of 1500 barrels is now ready for export, and about 4000 barrels more will soon be ready. While some of the whisky will be sent by Baltimore owners, the most of it will come from Cincinnati and other Western cities. After being kept in European warehouses for six months or a year the greater part will then be brought back to this country for sale. The whiskey to be sent out is of the 1891 and 1892 distillation, which must be taken out of the bonded warehouses because the eight-year limit has expired. Whisky may be stored in a bonded warehouse eight years without being subject to the internal revenue tax of $1.10 a gallon. At the expiration of eight years it must be taken out. Rather than pay the tax and lose the use of the money until the sale of the goods, some owners prefer to ship their surplus stock to the other side and store it there until needed, claiming that the freight both ways and storage in Europe will be less than the cost of meeting internal revenue requirements at a time when there is no demand for the goods. The tax is only required to be paid when whiskey is put on the market for consumption, so that goods shipped to Europe in bond are not taxed. They are brought back as required by the demands of the market here. Goods remaining out of bond are supposed to be on the market. This method is pursued by dealers and distillers who overload themselves. The output in 1892 was heavier than the demand, and it is part of the surplus which is now going to Europe to await the time when it must be brought back to be placed on the market. We have saved many doctor bills since we began using Chamberlain's Cough Remedy in our home. We keep a bottle open all the time, and whenever any of my family or myself begin to catch cold we begin to use the Cough Remedy, and as a result we never have to send away for a doctor and incur a large doctor bill, for Chamberlain's Cough Remedy never fails to cure. It is certainly a medicine of great merit and worth.—D. S. MEARKLE, general merchant and farmer, Mattle, Bedford county, Pa. For sale by P. A. Derge. HUMBLED THE... PUFFY ORANGES. Some Suggested Causes Which May Be Right or Wrong. Editors Enterprise:—Mr. McFadden's article on puffy oranges, reproduced in the Enterprise from the ANAHEM GAZETTE recently, is timely, and attracts considerable comment among Riverside growers. In a general way, Mr. McFadden's remedy—deep plowing, thorough irrigation and cultivation—is doubtless in the right direction. But when he says that he has "absolutely demonstrated" that there are no other causes for puffy oranges than the neglect of some of these necessities to good, general results, he puts it pretty strong. If Mr. McFadden will visit Riverside I will take him to orchards which are conspicuous exceptions. Two, especially, I have in mind. No orchards in the valley have had better cultivation and irrigation. Yet puffy oranges showed up earlier and more generally in both than in any others in their vicinity, few of which have had equally as good care. Mr. McFadden has doubtless given the matter careful attention, and from his article it is evident that he is an intelligent orchardist, which makes his positiveness the more surprising. While many who have given the matter little attention will give a dead-sure cause and cure off-hand, I have found few who have studied the trouble carefully willing to express a positive opinion. I asked the manager of one of our large packing-houses, who is also, and has been for several years, one of our large and successful orange growers, what he thought was the cause of puffing. He replied: "I am asked the question every day, and have to reply, I don't know." He had had pretty definite notions, but his experience and observations have so frequently crossed them that he was left undecided. Yet there are those who know "positively" that stable manure causes the mischief; others that it is too much or too little commercial fertilizer, too much or too little water, and so on. It reminds me of an incident at a farmers' institute. The cause of split oranges was asked for. The question was too much for Riversiders, and one of the institute lecturers, who is well up in his specialty (which does not include orange growing) relieved the hesitation by saying: "Split oranges are caused by lack of water or proper cultivation, producing a stunted growth of fruit. This, followed by more generous irrigation and better cultivation, starts the fruit into vigorous growth, so great sometimes as to cause the oranges to split," and with a wave of the hand, as much as to say: "Now, that matter is settled, call your next," he sat down. The trouble of puffling is serious. A gentleman, whose information is such as to make his judgment in the matter of value, said to me recently that the real damage to the fruit, with the depression of the markets from excessive shipping because of fear of more seriouse. COST OF SENATORS. The United States Senate has been popularly dubbed "The Millionaires' Club." It is the cheapest club in the world for the poor man to join. Its perquisites, daily increasing, are too numerous for reckoning. The newly prepared report of the secretary of this dignified body reveals some amusing facts. It shows, for instance, that a Washington drug firm received in the last fiscal year more than $1700 for medicines and toilet articles. These were supplied to the Senators for their individual use, and paid out of the generous pocket of Uncle Sam. No small item of this expenditure was 1000 doses of bromo seltzer and bromo caffeine. Three dozen boxes of caffeine powders, four cases of lithia water, two bottles of bromo lithia and $2.70 worth of lithia tablets further contributed to keep the senatorial systems in good order. Twelve pounds of soda-mint tablets were purchased for the alleviation of "that dark-brown taste," and the extravagant sum of 80 cents was exchanged for tabules for indigestion. To each Senator there are four employees, in varied capacities. The smaller body of Congress has come to cost Uncle Sam twice as much per member per annum as the House. Almost all of the sixty messengers receive $1.,440 a year each, whereas the old blind chaplain is considered to be worth only $900. Yet he is dependent upon some one to lead him daily to and from the capitol. Laborers in the folding-room get $1000, and those who run the elevators enjoy still more, $1200. The man in charge of the stationery-room draws $2102.40 annually; his assistants $1800 and $1200 respectively. The little pages who wait upon Senators get $75 per month; the postmaster of the Senate, $2250 annually; firemen, $1095, and the upholsterer and locksmith, $1440. By far the greatest proportion of expense incurred each year for toilet purposes is demanded by the Senate barber shops and bathrooms. It is not generally known that each member of this distinguished body is barberized gratis as many times a day as he wishes. In conjunction are all the appurtenances to Turkish and Russian baths. Skilled maresse are always in readiness to hasten the course of slothful blood. During one hot week in June the Senate paid $136 for lemons and lemonade, and shortly afterward returned no less than 3700 empty bottles which had contained lithia water. But the taxpayer should not grow long-faced at such a modest rate of revelry as this, considering the fact that fifteen years ago nearly every committee-room at the Senate end of the capitol had its provision of liquors purchased by the chairman or by a member with a reputation as a connolisseur. The Senator's salary of $5000 a year is perhaps nothing to boast of. Yet it is just $500 a year more than is given to members of the British House of Lords for their parliamentary duties. To this add $125 allowed a Senator each year for newspapers and stationery, only about $50 of which need be spent. Further add an allowance for railroad mileage given at the beginning and at the end of each session, and which need be saved many doctor bills since we began using Chamberlain's Cough Remedy in our home. We keep a bottle open all the time, and whenever any of my family or myself begin to catch cold we begin to use the Cough Remedy, and as a result we never have to send away for a doctor and incur a large doctor bill, for Chamberlain's Cough Remedy never fails to cure. It is certainly a medicine of great merit and worth.-D. S. MEARKLE, general merchant and farmer, Mattie, Bedford county, Pa. For sale by P. A. Derge. RAN A RACE WITH DEATH. Narrow Margin by Which a Man on a Railway Bridge Won. A high trestle bridge more than a quarter of a mile long, supporting the single track of the Nickel Plate railroad, spans the valley of Grand river, east of Palnesville, O. The bridge is little wider than the distance between the rails, and the ties are placed eight or ten inches apart, the space between being open to the river below. A young man who crossed recently had a thrilling experience on the bridge. He had just passed the center when a fast train rounded the curve behind him. As the engine whistled he quickened his pace. With every step the train was rushing nearer, and there was not a moment to lose. Once the young man stumbled and seemed about to fall, but quickly regained his balance and hurried on. As he reached the place for which he had started the train was close behind, and he had just time to swing himself over the side of the bridge as the locomotive thundered by. The ends of the ties were slippery with grease from dripping axle boxes, and his foot slipped wide as he left the track. His right hand, stretched blindly out before him, touched a round iron bar, bragging two parts of the bridge, and, with a grip like that of a drowning man, his fingers clasped around it. For a moment he swung in empty air. In another his left hand had found a place beside his right, and his feet touched the welcome edge of a brace below. With bleeding fingers clutching the slender iron bar that vibrated widely from side to side, moments seemed hours. At last the train passed, and the young man was able to climb slowly to the track above. Unnerved by the trying experience, he lay for a moment stretched across the rails and, then rising to his feet, with blanched face and unsteady limbs, made his way to firm ground.-Cleveland Leader.

The trouble of puffing is serious. A gentleman, whose information is such as to make his judgment in the matter of value, said to me recently that the real damage to the fruit, with the depression of the markets from excessive shipping because of fear of more serious damage later on, doubtless caused an average loss of at least 10 to 20 cents per box. With a daily shipment of from 30,000 to 40,000 boxes from Southern California, this makes the loss very considerable. While doubtless much may be done by careful observation and study to prevent loss in the future, I am satisfied that before we understand the nature of the trouble sufficiently to master it, we must have expert work done that is impossible by growers, and that in it we have another strong reason for insisting upon the establishment of a federal citrus experiment station in Southern California at the earliest date possible. The new lemon disease, and the strangled discoloring of the orange gradually appearing in many orchards, with the serious diseases of long standing, all call for research by trained men, on the ground that it can be supplied in no other way. In the meantime, this puffing is a legitimate matter for our Horticultural club to include with other special subjects under investigation. Let it be assigned to a standing committee to collect all facts available, not only as to the cause and remedy, but as to the actual effect of the disease on carrying and keeping qualities of the fruit. As serious as the trouble may be, with the exception of a few orchards, the excessive picking now going on to escape loss seems to me most unwise. So far as my observation extends, in most of the better orchards about Riverside at least, the puffing appears in but slight degree, and in many not at all. The loss from glutted markets will certainly be far greater than the actual loss on defective fruit. J. H. Reed in Riverside Enterprise. Money to Loan. In sums to suit. Apply to F.

An English nobleman, Lord P., was noted for his success in thus ruining the prosperity of a story. The author of "Collections and Recollections" exhibits a specimen of his lordship's peculiar art. Thirty years ago two large houses were built at Albert Gate, London, the size and cost of which seemed likely to prohibit tenants from hiring them. A wag christened them "Malta and Gibraltar because they can never be taken." Lord P. thought this an excellent joke and ran round the town, saying to every friend he met: "I say, do you know what they call those houses at Albert Gate? They call them Malta and Gibraltar because they can never let them. Isn't it awfully good?" Some one told Lord P. the old riddle: "Why was the elephant the last animal to get into the ark?" to which the answer is: "Because he had to pack his trunk." Lord P. asked the riddle of the next friend he met and gave as the answer: "Because he had to pack his portmanteau." Not to Be Sat Down On. "One of those little chickens won't mind the old hen at all. It runs about by itself and doesn't pay any attention to her clucks." "I don't really blame the poor little thing.

The writer remembers a good many years ago when the late Ezekiel Clarke was a member of the state senate from Johnson county. It is well known that the senator or member from Johnson county is always expected to get a large appropriation for the state university. To fall would be political death. Senator Clarke was anxious to succeed and during the early part of the session voted for everything. If another senator had a bill, all he had to do was go and whisper in Ezekiel's ear, and he would vote "aye." One day, however, Ezekiel came into the senate with hair cut and a clean shave. He sat upright in his seat and began to slaughter right and left. State Senator George F. Wright looked across to where the senator from Johnson was sitting and inquired what change had come over the senator from Johnson county. The other senator replied that the appropriation bill for the state university had now passed both houses, and the senator from Johnson was going to make up for lost time. Clarke kept on punching beads until the senator from Jefferson, Moses A. McCold, rose and solemnly introduced a bill for an act entitled "An act repealing the appropriation for the state university." A broad smile passed around the room, and everybody except the senator from Johnson saw the joke. But the spirit of levity passed away from Senator Clarke. He at once assumed his humble attitude, and the other boys voted him as usual during the remainder of the session.—Des Moines Capital. The Architect. One must wonder why it really is that so little is said or thought about architecture, the grandest, the mother of all arts, a great, a most useful science, one in which a greater revolution has lately taken place and in which more progress has been made, with more stupendous results, than in any other, remarks a writer in The International Magazine. Was it not Richelieu who, paraphrasing an ancient writer, said: "If it is versatility you seek, go find an architect. He must be an artist, or his buildings will offend the eye; an engineer, or they will crumble into trouble; a lawyer, or he will get his patrons into trouble; a doctor, or his buildings will be hygienically unfit to live in, and, last, but not least, he must be a gentleman, or we will have nothing to do with him." LOVE ON THE FARM. A potato went on a mash. And sought an onion bed. "That's pie for me," observed the squash, And all the beets turned red. "Go away," the onion, weeping, cried; "Your love I cannot be; The pumpkin be your lawful bride, You cantaloupe with me." THE ARCTIC MOSQUITO. It Is About the Most Terrible Insect Pest In the World. "Nothing that has ever been written about the arctic mosquito begins to come up to the real thing," said a guest in the St. Charles corridor the other evening. "I went up the Yukon river in the summer of 1890, representing the Alaska and Dominion Trading company, and we struck mosquitoes as soon as we got into the hills. They are twice as large as our familiar bayou species, and their sting is like the prod of a hot needle. They sweep along the valleys in dense clouds, and if they catch a man unprepared they are liable to blind him before he can escape. I heard stories of children being stung to death and can readily believe them. "Whenever we went ashore we wore heavy hat nets and took the utmost precaution, but were certain to suffer more or less. One of our party cut the tongues out of his shoes, and a narrow line of sock was exposed under the lace. Next day he was bitten there at least a hundred times, and his feet were so terribly inflamed that the shoes had to be cut off. "Another man, a fireman in the boat crew, got drunk on Alaska whisky one afternoon and lay down to take a nap in a corner of the engine room. I noticed him a little later and was horrified at the solid brown mass of mosquitoes that had settled on a small exposed section of his cheek and throat. In an hour his face was swollen out of all resemblance to anything human, he was unable to swallow and was burning with fever. It was a week before he was able to be about. I saw a number of cattle near Fort Hamilton that had been made stone blud by stings near the eye. "The arctic foothill mosquito is without doubt the most terrible insect pest in the world."—New Orleans Times-Democrat. Lungs and Long Life. One of the most remarkable cases of longevity on record was that of an Englishman, born in 1483, whose delicate appearance made all the doctors give him up when he was in the cradle. His chest was so narrow, says the report, that he seemed to have difficulty in breathing. Well, this young morbund, condemned by the doctors to die in short order, died in 1651 at the age of 169. He saw the reign of ten kings. Secunda Hango, consul of Venice at Smyrna, measured only 57 centimeters around the chest, and one of his lungs was diseased. Nevertheless he lived to the age of 115 years. He was married five times and had 49 children. When he was 100 years old, he got his wisdom teeth. When he was 110, his hair turned black again. At 112 his eyebrows and his beard turned black. Proved His Theory.

"Go away," the onion, weeping, cried; "Your love I cannot be; The pumpkin be your lawful bride, You cantaloupe with me." But onward still the tuber came And laid down at her feet; "You cauliflower by any name, And it will smell as wheat; And I, too, am an early rose, And you I've come to see, So don't turn up your lovely nose, But spinach with me!" "I do not carrot all to wed, So go, sir, if you please." The modest onion meekly said, "And lettuce, pray, have peas! Go think that you have never seen Myself or smelled my sigh, Too long a maiden I have been For favors in your eye!" "Ah, spare a cuss!" the tuber prayed, "My cherryshed bride you'll be! You are the only weeping maid That's currant now with me!" And as the wily tuber spoke He caught her by surprise And, giving her an artichoke, Devoured her with his eyes. St. Louis Republic.

The late Hall McAllister some years ago entertained a visiting scientist at the Union club, before its amalgamation with the Pacific, and during the evening, a particularly foggy one, made some whimsical remark conveying the idea that fog was an excellent conductor of sound. The scientist took exception to this novel theory and asked Mr. McAllister on what it was based. "On phenomena which we have all observed," returned the ready jurist. "On an evening like this we hear the fog horn quite distinctly, but when there is no fog we cannot hear it at all."—San Francisco Argonaut. Slip of the Tongue.

The Center of Population. "Census experts estimate," says the Chicago Post, "that the center of population will be found next year to be in Indiana, close to the Illinois line, at a point not far removed from the town of Vincennes. The last census showed the population center to be between Columbus, Ind., and Cincinnati. The increase in the population of Georgia, Texas, the Indian Territory, Oklahoma, New Mexico and Arizona during the last ten years has been sufficient, it is thought, to offset any increase in the northwest and to possibly pull the center somewhat to the south of the 1890 parallel. The wealth center is thought to be in the neighborhood of San Anakey O."
