Tho Spanish cabinet has resigned as a protest against the appoint ment of Weyler as Captain General ofMadiid. A Methodist Episcopal Church was dedicated at Manila A ugust 1 2, being the first Protestant church dedicated in the Philippines. Tho money expended on the com mon school system of the United States is equal to the combined out lay for public education in Eng land, France and Germany. In this country seventy per cent of the children of school age are registered in schools. In 1894 a partial franchise was granted to women in Illinois, and in Chicago that year 29,815 female voters registered and a few voted for tbo novelty of the thing. In 1898 but 1448 registered, aud this year they have disdained to go near the registration booths. A new mile of standard ninele track railroad, without taking into consideration the switch tracks and side tracks, requires about 4500 ties. The average life of a railroad tie is about five years, so that in ten years a railroad will use ties at the rate of about 9000 for evtry mile of track. Word has been received at the War Department that the cable ship Burnside is at Port Said on her way to Manila. This vessel left New York on September 26 and carries a full equipment of cable paraphernalia to connect Manila with all-the islands of the Philip pine Archipelago. Perhaps, after all, the men who could not get away from Nome this fall will be the lucky ones. Nature, is said, through the action of wind and wave, has renewed to a considerable extent the deposit of ruby sand on the beach, and stranded miners are again out with their rockers washing the sands with profit. Oregoniari. Tree owners in various states are being humbugged by the purchase of an insecticide which, when placed in an augur hole in a tree trunk will permeate the tree and render it distasteful to insects. It is a new application of the old idea of feed ing a hen with dyes in order to pro duce Easter eggs, and an equally apt illustration of the unfortucale inharmocy between theory and practioe. American Lumberman The four-masted ship Lindfield, loaaed at the gastings mill at Van couver last month for Southampton and London. She had a very large cargo 6f lumber including four ship's spars of unusually large size. They are carried on her deck and are 32 by 32 inches and are about 105 feet long. They, are to fill a special order for the Admiralty, and will be used for masts for the Queen's acht, Albert, .replacing the iron masts now in use. A novel point has been decided in St. Clair County, Illinois. David Gage and wife were killed- in a terrible storm that swept over the county four years ago. The bodies were found lying side by side. They had one daughter, the only lineal heir. In a suit for a settlement of the estate, the question arose as to which had died first. " If Gage, then bis wife's relatives would be entitled to her award, consisting of the homestead. If his wife died first, then her relatives would be entitled to nothing, but the whole eetato, amounting to about $10,000, would fall to MisB Mabel Gage, the daughter. There was no way of proving which had died first, and the court held that since woman NO. ii physiciilly is wcaktr tban man, Mrs. Gage must have died first, and upon this hypothesis" awarded the estate to the daughter. An officer in the Austrian army in Vienna has invented balloons which will float both men and horses across a river. They arc to be fastened to belts around the men and the harness of the horses, The Government is preparing to relieve the suffering of the drought stricken Indians on the Sacaton reservation, in . Arizona. Several 1 carloads of rations will leave Phoe nix. Arizona, in a few days, and will , be dirtributed among the destitute. Last year two Italian railway lines passing through swampy regions supplied all their station houses with mosquito nets. In consequence, there has been such a diminution in the number of cases of malaria that other lines in Italy and in Sicily are about to adbpt the same measures. Alvard, the bank robber, who stole $700,000 frcm the First Na tional bank, New York City, has been caught in Boston. He was note teller in the bank and squan dered the money he robbed the bank of on race horses and in fast Jiving, fart of the amount has been returned to the baDk. , The Chinese exclusion act will expire in 1902. Chairman Maguire of the Central Labor Union Bays: "I'wish to give this timely warning so that laboring men and women throughout the United States shall take measures to have another ex clusion bill passed. Visit your congressman and see how he atand. on the question. Put him on record." A college student visited a Phila delphia photographer the other day and sat for his picture. When the plate was developed the astonit hed photographer saw plainly on the young man's forehead a clearly de fined death's head with crossbones beneath it. Thinking it was some imperfection in the plate, the pho tographer arranged another si'ting. Again the skull and cros;bones ap peared in the pictuie, and the mystified photographer was fairly struck dumb with amazement. Then he noticed the smiling sitter and finally induced him to tell the joke. The trick simply consisted of painting on the forehead the grim design with a solution of bi sulphate of quinine. This is invisi to the eye, but shows pure white to the camera. For the fiscal year, ending June 30, the government printed of notes, cirtificates of deposit, bonds and National bank notes, 26,032,718; in ternal revenue stamps, 48,784,045; custom stamp?, 225,000; postage stamps, 40,042,547; postage stamps for Cuba, 162,300; postage stamps for Porto Rico, 16,550; postage stamps for the Philippines, 52,010 ; postage stamps for Guam, 1570; checks, certificates, drafts, etc., 1,592,683. The number of sheets printed, which was 116,909,423, does not really give a fair concep tion of the amount of work done. There were for instance 40,042,-150 sheets of postage stamps, but the number of stamps in the sheets was 4,026,452,574. The number of in ternal revenue stamps was 2,439, 747,312. It is estimated that for the fiscal year 1902 the bureau will have to print 142,357,100 sheets of the various classes of the work.

" , , One of the most important moves for the future is introduction of Pa cific coast flour. This will do more toward raising the price of wheat in - Oregon than anything else and will make wheat raising in Willamette valley profitable, whereae at pres ent there is little money in the in- dustry.. A prosperous future is in store for Oregon and nothing will tend to -make us so thoroughly prosperous : - tbe opening of trade relations with the Orient. , LOOKED AFTER. The diseases of farm animals have received special . study in tbe : Department of Agriculture in the ' last four years. Nearly 2,000,000 doses of blackleg vaccine have been distributed among tbe farmers and 1 cattle owners in the infected dis tricts, with the result that tbe mor- ; tality among Ihe young cattle in the infected districts' has been re-1 duced from 10 to 15 per cent annu- ally to one-half of 1 per cent. In"1 the case of sheep, the gasoline process for exterminating pprasites has met with great success.. In hog. -cholera and swine plague, 70 to 80 per cent of treated animals have been saved. Of some 24,000 ani- ma Is treated in Iowa, only two or three herds failed to show good re sults. Siberia has a poor grain crop this year, trops in her best cereal die- - tricts are almost a failure and the people are actually suffering. A Village Blacksmith Saved Bib little Son's Life.
