A dispatch from Vancouver in yester
day's Oregonian says : . - .
"Copies of President Cleveland's proc
Jamation, issued February 22d, setting
aside and describing the boundaries of
the Monnt Ranier forest reserve, have
been received at the United States land
office here. As described in the proc
lamation, the reserve embraces the
greater part of Skamania county, in
eluding many acres of the best farming
lands in the county, lying along the
White Salmon river. Little White Sal
mon, and the south fork of Lewis river,
and other smaller but fertile valleys, the
eoutbern boundary of the reserve being
the line between townships 3 and 4,
north, Willamette base line, and extend
ing west from range 10 to range 4 east,
Willamette meridian, touching the east
ern boundary of Clark county, the die
tance of two townships, 4 and 5 north.
The southern boundary in Skamania is
at certain points only four miles distant
from the Columbia river, and takes' in
about all of the Skamania mining dis
, trict, including the. Canyon creek' and
Lewis river mines, where valuable gold
deposits have recently been found, and
in each of which considerable develop
ment work has already been done, and
where extensive preparations for devel
oping many new claims have been going
" forward for some time.

excepting all lands previously entered."
A Gasoline .Exploded.
A remarkable accident happened to J.
P. Irvine, in McMinnville, on Monday.

""Recent advices state that great dev

. A QUESTION OF VISION.
Incidents Which Go to Show That Mind
and Not Eye Sees. . . -.
It is an admitted factf that theeye is
the "organ of vision, yet there is but
little doubt, even in the minds of opti
cians and physiologists, that the phe
nomenon of "seeing" is chiefly mental
-in other words, that it is the mind
and not the eye that "sees."
How often have you seen a friend
who," seemingly, was engnged in look-'
ing intently on some object on the ta
ble, at the opposite side of the room,
or at some picture, who, on being
aroused from his day dream, would
confess that he was "looking at noth
ing in particular." . The explanation of
the fact that he saw "nothing in par
ticular" is plain enough if properly set
forth. It was because his mind was
busy with other times and scenes.
Faces bits of wayside scenery, and
the like, were being presented to view
in the panorama of the .mind, and the
"mind's eye" or mental vision was
engaged in eagerly scanning
of impressions made thereon ,
years or n cores of years before.. Again,
if you want to know whether your com
panion looked at his watch with his
brain or his eyes, ask him the time of
day after he puts the timepiece in his
pocket.
PREPARED FOR EMERGENCIES,
Sonng- Man Who Got a Clerkship In An
- tlclpatlon of Bis Prodigality. -
Here is a story that one of the south
ern members vouches for, according to
the Washington Post- A 3'oung man,
one of his constituents, applied to him
for a $1,000 clerkship. The, member
secured the appointment, but the day
before the constituent w as to be sworn
in ne came to his representative in a
troubled state of mind and said:
"Colonel, I have had $125,000 left me
by an aunt, and, my God! just think
what I have to go through again." '
"Let me congratulate you," said the;
representative.
"No, don't do - that," said the con
stituent; "you don't know what you're
congratulating me on."'
'Yes, I do,", said the member, "for
now you can live without working."
"Colonel," said the distressed young
man, I may as well tell you. Several
years ago I had $100,000 left me by an
other aunt and it took me nearly a year
to spend it. After I got through I
had to go to the hospital for six months
to get over the effects of my dissipa
tion. The reason' I came to see you
to-day was o ask you to keep that
place for me until I can spend this
money." :
Proved, to Be False.
- "I am told,"- said she, saucily, "that
though you are a military man, you are
afraid of powder. . , , ,
- "To prove that the assertion is calum
nious," replied he, "I have only" to do
this. . '
Yt hereupon he : lightly kissed her
cheek, and his lips showed that he was
not. N. Y. Journal. '

The late Father Stommel, of Doyle3-

THE MAIL.
Minton and Her Life in the
Mountains.
The road from Castlow to Anderson
ville is through one of the roughest re
gions of Kentucky, says the Cincinnati
Enquirer. Kobberies are frequent, and
many a brave man has hesitated and
looked well to his gun before entering
on the trip. To Mrs. Minton, however,
the highway has no terrors. She enjoy
the unique distinction of being prcba
bly the only female mail-cnrritr u
Uncle Sam's service who rides horso
back fearlessly through the forest
with her pouch, which contains ti
missives which are the only means o
communication with th3 world at larj
to the residents of Andersohville.'
She is a typical Kentucky mountain
girl, active, strong, fearless and very
intelligent. She is an excellent horse
woman. No animal is too high spirited
for her. nor does she need help in
mounting and dismounting. With ti
mail pouch thrown across the pommel
of. her saddle, she rides fearlessly alon
the lonely highway, and it is safe to
say that anyone interfering with Uncle
Sam's mail would have to be a better
and quicker shot than the ordinary
man, or very well mounted, to stop the
mail. .
Mrs. -Minton has been married two
years. It was from her own inclination
to help earn money that she took the
contract to carry the mails . for three
years. . She has now completed e:-ht
months of her contract. -

IMPORTED FLIES. .
Insects Caught In the Swamps of Mexico
" Brought Here.
The report made from Laredo to the
treasury department at Washington
make constant reference to one of the
queerest articles of import brought into
this country. These are dried Mexican
flies, which are brought to the United
States in large quantities to be used as
food for pet singing birds.
These flies live in the swamps in vari
ous sections in Mexico, where they are
caught by men who devote their lives
to the work. The fly catchers use a
siiPen net, and. make a large haul at
every cost. The individual fly is called
moscos. It is small and delicate, and
its whole body nas the appearance of
having been gilded." . . .
The flies when alive are beautiful and
harmless. There is a duty - on these
Mexican flies, doubtless to encourage
the home fly industry,, but np to the
present time the moscos business has
not flourished in this country to any
marked extent',' The imported flies are
packed in barrels, and they sell for a
high price. . ;
