The literary tastes of women do not or- mrs. victor, diuarily rnn in the line of historical compilation and writing, bnt Mrs. Victor seems to pos sess a peculiar gift in this direction. Mrs. Victor has accomplished lunch in literatnre and has written a number of important historical works. Among her bent known books are "Atlantis Arisen," which deals with the physical features of the northwestern country, in terspersed with anecdotes, and "The River of the West," containing early annals of that region "where rolls the Orogon" nud an account of the opeia tions of ' the fur compiuiies. Her labors in the Bancroft library covered a period of 11 years, from 1878 to 1889, during which timo she produced exclusively histories of Colorado, Nevada, Washing ton, Wyomiug and Oregon. . She com piled all the political history in vol umes 0 and 7 of Bancroft's Califor nia series nud ulwo tho railroad history. She has likewise written a valuable and practical work on "Transportation and Mining." Mrs. Victor is a native of New York state, but went to Ohio when young. She began her literary career as a con tributor of prose and verse to various eastern periodicals. In 1805 she married Mr. Victor, a naval officer, und with him went to tho Puoiflo const, whore she became identified with California jour nalism. She contributed to Sail Fran cisco and Chicago publications stories and sketches, which she gavo a western coloring. She now lives iu Oregon. Doctored the Oranges. A fow days ago tho assistant post master of Port Chester, Pa., suspected the carriers of having stolen some or anges ho had in the office, according to a local paper. So he bought another stock and askod neighboring druggist to inject into them some drug that wonld mako the thieves sick, but not injuro them. The druggist injected wa ter and then informed the caiTlors. They of course stole the oranges, aud when the owner entered the offloe he found thorn all very sick. In a little vrhile they were writhing ou the floor. Then the joker thought the druggist had made a mistake und ran to him for a prescription. He prescribed brandy, and it ook 5 worth to relieve them of their pniu. Some of them got a little overcured by the medicine, or ou the other side of a normal condition, but they enjoyed their superior's joke all the same. New York Tribune. A SYNDICATE OF MONSTERS.

There has certainly been a hideous waste of money in providing official tes timonials of sorrow for the czar's fu uoral. The queen's wreath, which was of "enormous size," was sent from Windsor to St Petersburg in charge of Lord Carringtou, the expenses of whoso mission will have to be paid by the for eign office. The Gorman emperor's wreath, which was ten feet in diameter, required a special railway wagon to transport it from Berlin to St. Peters burg. The Emperor Francis Joseph sent a wreatli eight feet long, wincn naa been constructed by 80 florists. The bier was surrounded by many huudreds of "massive silver floral crowns" from the towns and villages of Russia, some of which had cost upward of 4,3, OUU. It would be interesting to learn who profits by all this lavish extravagance, for it is quite certain that every artiolo of nnv value which is sent on such an occasion ultimately becomes the per quisite of some court lunctionary, ana the individual who takes the spoil at this fuuotion will be able to retire at onoe with a considerable fortune. Then 2. BOO. 000 rubles have been squandered in dflcnratinir Dublio buildings, and it is a very queer commentary on the al leged outburst or national woe inar. ine snnoriutendeut of an important railway terminus at St. Petersburg was sent to prison for seven days because ms sta tion was not in sufficiently deop mourn na.

Craaltlea, Miscalled Bunting, With the Master of the Buokhounds. Over a year ago Queen Viotoria gave a promise which was justifiably con strued into an assuranoe that the prac tice of hunting tame doer iu her name should cease, and preparations were, in fact, made to abolish the ancient insti tution known as the royal buokhounds. It is now alleged that the queen merely promised to have inquiries made, and that the resnlt thereof satisfied her that the sport involved no more cruelty to animals than fox huutting. The result is that tame deor harrying, miscalled hunting, is again in fnll swing, aud the newspapers are recording, as of old, the suffering inflicted by royal and aristo crats sportsmen wearing the queen's uuiform. Already this season several of these hand reared stags have been so badly torn by the hounds that they had to be killed. The scandal is by no means a new one, for quite 50 years ago a letter appeared in The Times describing how the queen's buokhounds hunted a stag down Piccadilly, and how the poor ani mal had worn the pads off its hoofs and left a trail of blood behind. Tender hearted politicians, Tories as well as Liberals, regularly threaten to refuse to vote a salary for the master of the buck hounds when the estimates come before the house of commons, but invariably social iuflutjuce or party pressure or both are brought to bear upon them, with the resnlt that they manage to have engage ments elsewhere when the house got into committee on the supply.

OUR AMERICAN SUGAR It Should Be Used in Prefer ence to China's Product ENCOURAGE HOME INDUSTRIES Every American Should Demand the Katlve Product and Sea That He Oets It. It is a singular thing that', while the inhabitants of the United States are a most prosperous peoplo and consume more of both the necessities and lux uries of life, generally speaking, they are behind the English in the consump tion of sugar. In 1890-91 the sugar used in the TTnitarl Kingdom was an amount equal to 781 1-2 pounds per capita, while the figures snow an average consump tion in the United States of only 691 1-3 pounds per capita. What the reasons are for this great itiffnronpA have nuzzled many Dersons, and we must look carefully for them if we are to find the causes. Amerioan tnorkmen receive more pay than the laborers of any other country, and as a rule have the money to obtain f,r thfiir table evervthinir wanted. It seems fair to assume the older the country and civilization the more care f.iiiv urA the nuestions of household economy and hygiene studied, and if this is true why can we not argue irom v. a nramian stated that we have failed to a great degree in discovering the wholesomeness and the economy of using large amounts of sugar? Looking at this question from the national side we see some reasons why we should be heavy consumers of sweets and again we see that we are obliged to buy most of the sugar we use from other oountries, and we owe it to ourselves to carefully consider what, wa as individuals can do to stim ulate the sugar produoing and sugar manufacturing ana sugar ouuhuwiub inrinnrriftfi of onr countries. The United States sent ont of the oountry in 1893 the enormous sum of 1 1 a nnn. nnn for ansrar. and this amount if it only could have been retained at home would have done muoh to make this oountry prosperous and would have been a great help daring the awful panic of the last two years. The policy of the United States has been very clearly determined to be of pro tection to home industry and home manufactures, and whether we con sider the recent tariff laws as wise or unwise the faot remains that they are nnr.nr.nlur and do not fill the bill. The question of protection is popular and if the voice of the people is the voice of wisdom we may all be pardon ed for the maintenance of those opin ions which will help to shape the do mestio and foreign policies of the United States for the ensuing genera tions. if If. wnrA nnnessarv that we should buy a staplerlike sugar abroad in order fhf. wa niiirhr. sell our surnlus of other produots we might perhaps as well buy sugar as anything else, duc mis is nut the case. We can sen our proaucis at the world's prioe, and that is what we do always when we export; if we oan tukA hunk nnin instead of other prod uots that under the right conditions we oan laise at home we are so muon ine hurra off nnd the imuorts of money will assist us in maintaining our cur rency without having to pay suon prices for our credit as we have recent ly paid. Again we oome to the question of practical importance: How can you as a oitizen do anything to promote the objeots the oountry desires to obtain? In the first plaoe, what kind of sugar do you oonsume yourself? Charity and wisdom uegin, or snouiu begin, at home. If yon buy sugar, do you ever in quire as to whether you are getting rhar. nf dnmestio nroduotion or manu facture? If you do not you have neg lected your duty as an Amerioan cm man nnrl vnn shonld remove the beam of carelessness from your own eye be fore you censure your representatives and senators for overlooking some things that might promote the welfare of your country. It is true that we not oniy import immense quantities of raw sugar, but on the Pacific coast a pernioious trade has recently sprung up in the manu factured sugar of China, many retail grocers handling it surreptitiously. Think of it, in a section of the United States as sparsely capitalised as rh West coast, actually sending its money to a notoriously cheap labor - ..a J oountry lor an article oi nonsenoia consumption which is refined and pro duced at home. Of what use are such legislative en actments as the Chinese exclusion aot if our people, the very ones who were most clamorous for the prevention of the competition of cheap labor, are go ing to suffer their hard earned coin to be sent to China for sugar refined there? The idea that the prioe of sugar is kept at its present low figures on the Pacific ooaat by the importation of Hong Kong sugar is an erroneous one, for whenever the American refineries advance tho Chinese importers have in variably followed. If American gran ulated sugar was telling at say nine cents today the price of foreign would be about the same. The truth is that supply and demand makes the world's market on sugar as it does on wheat and other great staples, and when the New York and London markets ad vance or decline the prioe of all sugars, either American or Chinese, is im mediately affected. Ask your dealer for American-made so gar and do not bo amid to ask nun if ho handles the Chinese goods, and if he does read him a lecture on hia poli tics and morals, and yon will have ful filled part of yon duty as a oitisen. Many leading stores now display signs, "We Handle the Amerioan Refined Sugars Only." From a hygienio standpoint it should be remembered oholera is now raging in the Orient San Franoisoo's board of health has determined to take every precaution to prevent the disease from obtaining a foot-hold in that city, and to that end Chinatown will be subject ed to a rigid examination. The phy sicians composing the board consider that if by any chance oholora should gain a foothold in that city it would make its appearance in tho Chinese quarter, where the crowded condition of the narrow streets and the illy-ventilated houses have provided a material breeding plaoe for the plague. All the sugar that comes to the Northwest is from Hong Kong, an in fected port, and is bandied by coolies there probably olose to the oholera pa tients. A well-known manufacturer and agent in the Orient says: "Every paokage of merchandise, sugar, silk, etc., should be thoroughly fumigated and the cholera germs, if any, thus eradicated. Think of Amer icans using sugars and Bilks handled and worked upon by natives who re- ceivo 13 cents a any for their labor and live iu squalor and dirt with pestilence and disease raging near by." The sugar business of this oountry is largely in the hands of a great com bination, but the reason for this is that the polioy of our legislators has been so parsimonious that instead of building np the small factories for the manufacture of beet sugar, the bounty has been withdrawn and our people have been discouraged in working up the industry. Time will oome when in every state there will be refineries and no section of the world can produce better beets than Oregon and Washington. If, therefore, you wish to live to see the dawn of that day when the millions spent for sugar will be kept at home begin as you are now advised to do and buy American sugar and encour age those who are waiting for the proper opening to appear when they oan euguge in the production and man ufacture of domestic sugar. There Is more Catarrh in this section ot the country than all other diseases put to gether, and until the last few years was supposed to be incurable. For a great maiiT Tears doctors nronounced it a local diseasr, and prescribed local remedies, and by constantly tailing to cure witu iocai treatment, pronounced it inourable Science has proven catarrh to be a con stitutional disease, and therefore requires constitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J. Cheney & Co. . Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitutional cure on the market. It is taken internally in doses from 10 drops to a teaspoouful. It acts directly on the blood and mucous surlaces of the system. They offer one hundred dollars for anv case it fails to cure. 8end for oiroulars and testiinoLials. Address . F. J.
