HOTELS STARTED WRONG. dinar Art Ma a Like limjnatn timing; m-T PhlLoaopaJaaJ Nw York IoIiMua.a. The philanthropic policeman tipped back the brim of his helmet, pulled down hin culf and pointed to a brick building- painted white that stood on the opposite corner, Bay the New York Sun. "J don't think I'm a fatalist, if I hat's what you call it," he said, "but I've liiTd opportunities in my business to see that some people get started wrong and never have a fair chance. "Jt's the same thing with buildings. They get a Lad name in the beginning, and that, seems to net l ie them. "That house on the corner wa put up a a hotel nearly 30 years ago. It was intended to be all right, but the owner happened to lease it to the wrong kind of a man, and within six months after it was opened the police were in the place. Practically they've never been out of it since that time. "The building has been sold several times and some of the owners have tried to make it different, lint in one way or another it always seemed to drift back to its old character. If it hadn't been for that wrong start in the first place the old hotel might have been all right. "Almost the name fate overtook an other hotel that used to be on my beat uptown. Nobody ever knew why it was a failure. It stood on a site that g-ave light on four sides, occupying all of a small block. It ought to have been crowded all the time but it was nearly always empty, and one landlord after another came to grief there. After it was such a failure as a re spectable hotel there was naturally an attempt to carry it along on the other plan. That prospered for awhile, but there could not have been much money even in that. "Landlord came and went. Half the time the house was closed altogether, and in ipite of all its attractions the building was a hoodoo. It will proba bly remain one until it is pulled down altogether. "Now it is closed, half iU windows have been broken by the boys in the streets, and it is ripe for the wreck ers to tear it down and moke way for some more fortunate structure. One thing must have compensated the own ers for their disappointments. The site has increased enormously in value since it was bought 20 years' atro. and in spite of all its vicissitudes the ho tel may ultimately bring fortune to the men who built it." Governor J. K. Toole, of Monta na, has declared a quarantine against California, Colorado, Min nesota, Nebraska, Kansas, North Dakota, New York, South Dakota, Ohio, Wyoming, Washington and Orpgon, where (sheep scab in sup posed to exist.

Toe Rerue Scientiflque ha been ask ing what muscles tire soonest, with the conclusion that it Is not the muscles in use. but those under tension, al though doing no work. The writer urges us to use the arms and legs less and the back and neck more, for on them comes the greatest strain. He has been asking men of all occupations the same questions: When you have worked much where do you feci tired? Before you were trained, did fatigue show iistlf in the same regions? All the answers point to the same conclusions. The baker who kneads douRh all night complains of fatigue in his les. The blacksmith is tired, not in his arms and shoulders, but iu his back and loins. The young soldier after a march, is especially tired in the back of his neck, even if he has carried no knapsack. The oarsman who is iu perfect train ing, after prolonged exercise gets tired in his calves and insteps. These facts point to the conclusion that in any continued effort we should try to alter the habit of contraction. That is to say, the body, like the mind, needs change of work. RETAIL GROCERY PRICES.

In fulfillment of its pledge the Sta'e of Oregon yesterday delivered to Major Langfitt a deed conveying absolute tille to the Government of the entire right of way for The Dalles-Celiio Canal. This action removes the last obstacle to the construction of the canal and insures the early beginning of work. The delivery of this deed was mnde necessary by the condition imposed by Congress that before the canal should be constructed by the Government the slate shou d deed to it free ot dost the lands contained within the right of way. This the state p'e?ged itse'f to do, and, after much delay, in suits and the ar ranging for the purchase of the lands, the state not long ago "secu-ed full and clear titles to all necessary land. The transfer of this right of way has been made to the Government in one deed, with the title warranted by the state. A lull abstract of title to tie property accompanies the deed, tni these will be forwarded to the depart went in Washington for the app oval of the United States Attorney Genera within the next few daps. In speaking of the matter Major Lingfitt s id : "The deed conveying till to the Gov ernment of the right of way for th canal was del vered to me today, and as soon asl can go over it I will forwaid it on to Washington. This de d settles everything so far as the state is con cerned, aud there are no further condi tions to bi complie 1 with on the part of anyone aside from the Government. ' I have not yet been able to look over the deed and papers carefully, but so far as I can s'e they are all in order and the title is perfect. We may p-ssibly find some small clerical errore which will have to be corrected, but if there re any Mich thev cannot be of iin portauce and can easily be rectified. 'Affairs are in such shape now in r( Kard to the canal that we should r e able to begin construction immediately after the high water and work will un doubtedly be started by July. In ac cordance with department orders we have forwarded to Washington the pro ject for this improvement based on the money availab'e for that purpose, and as soon a that is returned to ns with the approval of the chief engineer we shall prepare and forward to him de tailed plans and specifications for the work. When these are approved we shall then be in shape to begin work on the ground." There will be but little if any delay in the transmittal of p'aoe to Washington since a force of draag'iismen. h con stantly at work on them in the local office. It is hard to es!i nate just how much work can be done on the canal this seas n, but a good part of the Jower end should be well under way before the end of the year. The improvement of Three-Mile Rapids is being rushed forward.

An American journalist who heard Iabori in court one day nays the ad vocate's address was full of grace, wit, tenderness.

But tho other day I visited my uncle. a very aged man. " 'What is it like, nnl?' I said, 'to be old?'
