J., recently, just as he h;id seen them taken, still intact, from the ruins of tLo big fire. Those papers were in his private safe in hiB office, where his splendid l.iw library was burned The safe was taken from the ruins ui:d the dour pried open. Suddenly the papers burst into flames and were reduced to ai-h-'B. It is sup posed gas had generated inside the safe. Among the papers were eight unregistered bonds, ea:b of a face value of $1000. A number of farmers have been swindled out of sums aggregating several thousand dollars recently by a couple of strangers, who repre sented themselves to be hunters. The strangers' plan was to identify themselves as wealthy men from Chicago or some other place, and offer (5 for the privilege of bunting on the farmer's premises. Consent being given, tbey paid the $5 and then wrote out a receipt for the farmer to sign. The receipt turned up later as a promissory note for $500, and aa it was in the bands ol a third party payment had to be made. Port Orford Tribune. ... They had been talking of nick names, and a New York teacher, whose school is on the EdBt Side, said: "A boy of 7 oame into my room. 'What is your name?' I aBked him. 'Stub Williams.' After long questioning, I discovered that his name was Arthur. 'What is your father's name?' I asked, 'Beefy Williams,' was his response. There his knowledge halted. He could not tell me more, because he did not know. 'Beefy' was the only one he had ever heard. I told him to get the name for me. The next day he brought a note, scrawled on the margin of a newspaper. 'My mane is James W. Williams,' it said, 'but what in h-1 is the matter with Beefy?'" According to Bradstreet's, a net increase of over $9,300,000 in the money in circulation was recorded for the month of January. The total on February 1 was $2,259,951, 709, which represents an increase of over $69,000,000 as compared with the corresponding date a year ago. Increases are noted in every kind of money except standard sil ver dollars and Treasury notes of 1890, in the former of whioh there was a decrease of little over $1,000,- 000 and in the latter one of over $20,600,000. The circulation per capita, on the basis of a population calculated by the Treasury experts at 78,650,000, is given as $28.77. This represents an inorease of -39 oents as compared with the corre sponding date of last year.

From the Kurnl Northwest, The Sau Jose scale increased rap idly in the vicinity of Vancouver, Wash., last year and almost every fruit grower finds it necessary to pray his trees for this pert. It is the impression of a good rniny i.f the northwestern fruit growers tlmi it is no longer necessary to sp ay against the San Jose scale in Ca i fornia, owing to the prevalcnc" ol' parasites. It is doubtless I rue tht the scale is now kept in check in h great extent in tbat state ami v some extent in Oregon by parosile.-, but it appears to be necessary ev-n yet to fight the S.tn Jose scale ex tensively by spraying iu California.

The immensity of London can ooly be understood when we come to di-al with the many eides of the people's lives. Every year about l'JO.OOO babies are burn in London, Mine 6000 of whom are not wanted, ana are not wt-icn'riwi. i nere are always more boys than girls. Mow than 400 out of every 1000 never live to be 2 years old; over 30,000 little cotlins being used every year to bury their remains More than 20,0j0 people die every year in London workhouses and in firmaries; but, in spite .of the fact tbat about 82,000 Londoners go to their last account, there are 50,000 more persons alive in London each Nsw Year's day than there were on the previous occasion. - There are more than 40,000 wed dings each twelvemonth, 30,000 of which are celebrated in the churches of the Establishment. Strange as it may Bee in, seeing tbat we have nad compulsory education now for over 30 year?,.there are, every year more than zuuJ persons, married in London who can neuter read nor write. It is a common mistake to sup pose that everybody who can comes o London, and tbat its population is increased almost entirely by this process. As a matter of fact, close upon 40,000 Londoners leave the metropolis every year for the coun try or for places abroad. Clerk's Wise Suggestion. "I save lately been muoh troubled with dys pepsia, belching snd sour stomach," writes M. .S. Mead, leading pharmacist of Altleboro, Mass. I could eat hardly anything without sufforlng several hours. My clerk, suggested 1 try Kodol Dyapopaia Cure which 1 did with most happy results. I nave had no more trouble and whon odo cau go to eating mlnco pie, cheese, oandy and nuts af tor such a time, their digestion must be pretty good. I endorse -Kodol Dyspepsia Curo heartily." You dou't have to diet, fiat all the good food you want but don't overload the stoumoh. Kodol Dyspepsia Cure digests your food. Chas. Strang. Harold M. Oolo, assistant snperin (endont at the E.tst Helena (Mout.) smelter, is dead and Olivia Mayuo Cole, his wife, is at her home mortally wonnded as the result of shots fired by her husband. The theory is that the hnsbaud found some correspondence belobgiuff to his wife, and that there was a quarrel aud then the tragedy. Iu the Columbia lodfrlug-hoaso on Broadway, south of Sixth Btreet, Loi Augeles, D. O. Kout shot Mrs. Harriet L. Wiley, then turned the revolver on himself aud afterward slashed his throat with a razor. The woman will probably die; the mau may recover. They were partners' iu the lodging house, aud it is said that the tragedy is due to Mrs. Wiley's refusal to marry Kent. Somo one broke through the trap-door of the Porter building at San Jose aud stole two valuable S9lf-registering ther mometers, tho proporty of the govern ment, but left the rain gauge.
