Mountain Mahogany.
A bundle of mountain mahogany
sticks lying in front of the express office
reminds ns forcibly of old times down in
Nevada. In the eastern part of the
state this is about all that can be pro
cured in many localities for fire-wood.
It is as hard as flint and holds fire like a
government appropriation. Out at
White Pine we were engaged at one time
in baling hay. The corral was made of
mahogany logs, and for lack of some
thing better it was used to do our cook
ing with. One night Black Jack, the
cook of the outfit, was lying asleep in
bis bunk, his foot Bticking out from be
tween the covers, and his big toe lying
temptingly an inch away from its neigh
bor. Charley Daly, who had been im
bibing bug juice at a neighbor's to an
' unlimited extent, came in and saw
Jack's toes. At the same time his
drunken gaze fastened on a glowing ma
hogany coal. Tn ' a minute he had
scooped up a hand fall of ashes, placed
the live coal on top, and in less time
than it takes to relate it, had dropped
the coal between Jack's gaping toes. In
just about half a second Charley was
going out the cabin door, pursued by
two pistol balls, one of which lodged in
' the door casing, and the other cut the
sleeve of his coat. There was no bay
baled next day, it taking the whole of
"it to patch up a treacherous peace.

AN EXPENSIVE .DINNER.
It Cost at the Rate of Seven Hundred Dol
lars a Plate.
"History of the cuisine fairly teems
with descriptions of costly meals," re
marked a resident of Brooklyn recent
ly to a writer for the Washington Star.
"We read how that profligate Helio
frabalus, the Roman emperor, had a
single dish on his table once that cost
two hundred thousand dollars, and how
another Roman, Aelin Venis, gave a
supper to a dozen cronies that cost a
quarter of a million dollars. Then
Vitellius, still another Roman and an
emperor, likewise entertained his
brother at a little smack that used up
a couple of hundred thousand; but
these were ancient- fellows, who had
nightingales' tongnes and humming
birds' brains and similar marvelous
dainties. Coming down to modern days
and plain, ordinary, everyday ham and
eggs, I ate a supper once in this very
town that cost a friend of mine four
teen hundred dollars. A gentleman
named Parker kept an establishment
devoted to entertaining gentlemen at
sundry games of chance. One night
the friend I speak of and myself were
killing an evening here together, when
we conceived the idea that a visit to
Parker's wpuld be just the thing. We
put it into execution at once. I have
never gambled in my life, and my
friend has not done it since. We went
upstairs and entered the room just as
supper was announced. My friend did
not want to eat anything, but I was
hungry, and when some plausible ras
cal of a dealer told me that there was
broiled Smithfield ham flanked with
pullets' eggs as a sort of side issue to
the otherwise gorgeous feast I broke
for the supper room, despite my com
panion's pleadings. Of course he fol
lowed me when he found his protesta
tions were useless, and we enjoyed the
feed immensely. When we came out
my friend pulled out a twenty-dollar
bill and said he would play a turn or
two to pay for our supper. I begged
him in turn not to do it, but he was as
obdurate as I had been. He lost his
twenty-dollar bill and tried to get it
back. In two hours fourteen hundred
dollars were gone glimmering. I have
never felt so downright hungry since
that a slight request from a mere ac
quaintance cannot keep me away from
a dead-head feed.
WHAT
A ESLLION
MEANS.
It
Would
Take Nearly Ten
Thousand
Years to Count it.
The following remarkable calculatioi
on the length of time which if woulc
take i person tocount 1, C00,000,(;0U re
ccntly i!:j:carcd in an issue of an Kng-
!lsh periodical: What is a billion?
The replv is very simple. In .England a
billion is a million times a million
(1,CC0,C00,CU0,CU0). This is quickly
written and quicker still pro
nounced. Hut no man is able to
count it. You will count 160 or 170
minute. Eut let us suppose that you go
up as high 33 200 a minute, hour after
hour. At that rate you would count-
13,000 an hour; 283,000 a day, or 105
123,000 in a year. Let us suppose now
that Adam, at the beginning of his ex-
fetence.had begun to count, and had con
iinued to do so and was counting still.
Had such a thing been possible, he
would not yet have finished the task
of eouniing a billion! To count a bil-
ion would require a person to count
'00 a minute for a period of 9,512 years,
'A2 days, 5 hours and 20 minutes, provid
ing he should count continuously. Eut
suppose we allow the counter 12 hours
daily for rest, eating and sleeping. Then
he would need 18,025 years, 319 days, 10
hours nnd 45 nvnutes in which to com-
.Iete the task!
The Greedy Crocodile.
The moment that a young crocodile
breaks its shell it is to all intents and
irposes as active as it is at any time
during its life. It will make straight
for the water, even if it be out of sierht
an'" a good distance off, and it will pur
sue its prey with eagerness and:agility
durlnir the first hour of its free exist
ence w St. Lawrence River.
For seven years the St- Lawrence
river gradually decreases in depth ; then
for seven years it gradually increases in
depth, the difference in level being five
feet. Why it does so no one has yet dis
covered.
To the Locks Thursday.
A special train will leave The Dalles
Thursday morning about 10 o'clock for
Bonneville. From this point passen
gers will be given the option of return
ing to The Dalles by train, or coming up
through the locks on the O. R. & N.
Co.'s boats. Fare forthe round trip

BEAU B RUM MEL L.
At the Grave of m Famous Dandy and
Wit. .
English visitors to Tilly-fiur-Seulles
having satisfied their curiosity, turn to
Caen, where lie the bones of an Eng
lishman, who has left behind an im
mortal refutation as a dandy and a wit.
Ee.au Brnmmell, after having been the
friend of the prince regent, died in
1overty, a friendless imbecile. Born in
1778, George Bryan Brummell was edu
cated at Eton', where he made a name
for social aplomb, readiness of repartee
nnd fastidious neatness in dress. He
went to the Oriel college, Oxford, for a
years. He was presented with a coronet
cy by the prince of Wales in the Tenth
Hussars, and for some years enjoyed
the friendship of the prince, who was
afterward George IV. At last they
quarreled, but "Beau" Brummell held
his own in society until gambling losses
made him flee the country. In 1S30 he
was appointed British consul at Caen.
His creditors closed round him, and in
May, 1S35, he was cast into prison. His
spirit seemed to have been broken, and
in 1837 he showed signs of imbecility,
and died at the Asylum of the Bon
Sauveur, "Caen, in March. 18-10.
WORDS PEOPLE SPEAK.
The Kdarato.l Tcrsnn Who Talks English
Well About Two Thousand.
Few pec'e realize how limited are
heir vocabularies, despite the many
thousands of words in the English lan
guage, says the New York Journal.
It is said that a person of education
-onerally g"t3 along very comfortably
with a vocabulary of less than 2,000
liU'erent word3. On the other hand,
uneducated people manage to express
their ideas all their lives with the use of
but a few hundred words, repeating one
or two of these, however, a great many
times.
A recent experiment proves how apt
our minds are to run :n grooves. Twen
ty-five men and 25 women students in
a. psychology class were bidden to write
down at full speed 100 words, all chosen
at random. They did so, with the cu
rious result that out of the total 5,000
yvords there were only 1,266 which oc
curred but once, 3,000 of the remainder
being repetitions of 758 words. Of the
.1.2G6 written only once, 746 were set
down by the men, against 520 by fhe
women. Of the 353 articles of dress
enumerated, 224 were found in the wom
en's papers, while of the 237 articles of
food they claimed 179. Clearly they
were not nenv women or their range
would have been wider.
DAYS WERE ONCE SHORT.
Only. Three Honrs In Length In the Early
Stages of the World.
When the earth was young, says Dr.
Ball, the eminent British astronomer,
it turned on its axis so rapidly that it
made one complete revolution once in
every three hours! The earth was
liquid then, says the St. Louis Republic,
and it spun around at that fearful
speed probably for thousands of years.
The sun caused ever-increasing tides
on the surface of the greatliquid planet,
and at last it burst in two. But the
break was not in the middle of what
bad been tln great, swift-revolving
globe of liquid matter. It was to one
side, and the effect was to throw the
smaller fragment out into space. That
fragment kept on turning, and was soon
fashioned into a globe. We see it to-day
and know it ns the moon. The larger
piece also kept turning bn its axis, and
in the course of ages became the spheri
cal, habitable earth. The smaller frag
ment of the great original globe, being
held in place by the attraction of the
larger, has been going around the earth
ever since, but has been gradually in
creasing the distance between itself and
its primary. Some astronomers believe
that eventually the moon will get so
far away that it cannot be seen by the
Inhabitants of our planet.
