C3 Wit gniljj gitoviatt. ASTORIA. OREGON: SUNDAY. ...JANUARY 23, 1637 In another column is published in full the fishery bill introduced by state senator Gray. It is not likely that the bill in its present form will pass. Now that the United States government has, by statute, virtu ally prohibited and put down the manufacture of oleomargarine, does .the-state of 'Oregon need the continuance of the present office of dairy commissioner? T-hos. Watson, of San Francis co has been sentenced to the state prison for six years by a wise and upright judge. Tom stole ten cents. That was his crime. His mistake was in not killing a man. Then he would have got off with a severe reprimand. France now has a total debt of about; 7,200,000, or twice as large as.that of the United States at the close of the war, and six times as large as our present interest-bearing debt. The French debt is nearly 1200 per head of her population, while that of the United States is less than 20 per head. There is an interest charge of 8140,000,000 a year, beside an nuities and other burdens not clearly stated, amounting to nearly as much more. Thn annual reve nue .wrung from the people is 600,000,000, and yet that is in sufficient to meet the necessities of the jrov.ernment. Boulangkr, wlio will be the biggest French general next to Napoleon if he lives to beat Ger many, is working bard to prepare the victory which many French men are prophesying. His last investment is in 200,000 shells loaded with melinite, the new ex plosive invented by two French officers, who guard the secret jeal ously. The principal component of the new shatterer is ether, and it is said to be ten times more powerful than nitro-glycerine and dynamite, and as man' times again more destructive than gun powder. -- Near Bourges, 83,000 francs have been spent in erect ing three specimens of the most valuable sort of defensive works, one being block asphalt and flint, measuring 12 meters at the base and 3 at the top. Shells filled with melinite are to go into these blocks and blow them to atoms, as evidences of their ability to de stroy an'thing that exists in Ger many. Another discovery yet to be proven is an explosive for use in ordinary firearms which makes no smoke and would be useful to sharpshooters. Orders have been sent by the secretary of the treasury to San Francisco directing the immediate refitting of the Bear for cruising In the waters of Behring sea. The rumors that the government would not continue to vigorously enforce the law prohibiting the killing of fur seals in Alaskan waters, are unfounded. Energetic action in " the line of last year's work will be repeated during the forthcoming -season. The revenue cutter Bear will be followed by the Coricin, and the joint cruising of these vessels is ex pected to sweep every seal pirate from Behring sea. The treasury department, in this matter, simply carries out the law. The state department is now considering the claims of Great Britain as to whether or not inter national law in this matter has been violated. All the precedents and the history of Russian control and ownership are now under re view'. The right and title to Rus sia to exclusive jurisdiction over the waters of Behring sea from 1745 up to 1867, when she sold part of her claim to the United States, is a very strong one, well guarded and fortified by the terms of all her treaty stipulations with this government iu 1824, with Great Britain in 1825, later in 1841, -and finally with this govern ment again in 1867. Any state ment that the state department will carelessly surrender the rights and title acquired by the purchase of Alaska by the United States is irresponsible and groundless. When Ladies Girc Flowers. All yellow roses mean coquetry, writes an esthetic young wouan in the Chicago News. White roses mean silence, withered white roses despair, pink roses bashfulness, aud moss roses love. Stripped of its thorns a rose says: "Everything to fear." A single rose leaf means, "I fear to pre sume." The ordinary fern that flor ists sell means sincerity, but maiden hair means discretion. A bouquet of tulip3 is tantamount to a declaration of love. Narcissus means uncertain ty, and a girl who wears white hya cinths declares herself frivolous. Hydrangea conveys a reproach for coldness, and ivy is a request for friendship. White lilac stands for platonic love. Violets, of course, as everybody knows, stand for modesty, and pansies say, "Think of me." A gift of scar let geranium implies that you thiuk the person to whom you present it is behaving foolishly. Silver leaved geranium means that you will "take it back," and a tuberose declares that you won't "give it away." A little bit of smilax is an entreaty for con fidence. Clematis is considered to convey admiration of intellect Ce dar or evergreen is emblematic of constantcy, and common crass means submission. From Charles II to Victoria I. It seems hardly credible that any one who has himself died in the jub ilee year of Queen Victoria's reign should bo the grandson of a man who lived for t. reive years under Charles IL Yet this was actually the case with the late Capt. Maude. His grandfather. Sir Robert Maude, was born in 1729, his father, the first Lord Hawarden, in 17G3, and he him self in 1798. Thus three generations have covered 213 years, or an average of 71 years to a generation, and have lived under ten sovereigns. The first Lord Hawarden having been born, as stated, in 1729, married iu 1777 for his third wife a young lady of 18, ho lived to bo 92, and died in 1851. There were thus 122 years between the birth of the husband aud the death of the wife. Such a case is probably unique. The Latest and Greatest Discover). DR. J.

For the benefit of the entire mascu line sex who have puzzled over the problem of the bustlo and wondered why women will wear the thing, ever since bustles were first thought of, I want to say right here that the philosophy of the bustle, the reason why women will stick to the hump with more loyalty thau they show their church, their country or their lovers, is that it makes their, waist look smaller. The bigger and more sudden the swell the smaller the waist will look, and that's the whole busi ness. Clara Belle. Cueklcii's Arnica Salvo.
