and Train Service Is De
moralized, HOPE, Idaho, July 5. A cloudburst at
Elllsport, Just cast of Hope. swept away
all the houses, about 12 or 15, except
Harry Manning's. Two miles of the track
is "washed away, and the mill Is under
water. From Elllsport to the yard limits
is a flood of water. The creek is wild and
widened 200 j'ards on each' side, and -all
the trestles are gone from Clark's Fork
to Hope. Residents are 'letting loose a
dam behind the company's store to save
the store and a dwelling. The family at
Elllsport lost everything.
Passenger train Xo. 4, Northern Pacific,

are raging wild. William Pllllngs house
at the trestle Is swept away. No one wao
injured in the flood. There are over 1W
men at work repairing the track east or
Hope.
This morning's train Is at Sand Point.
The track for several miles is covered
with rock and sand. Railroad men do not
know how much is washed away. About
200 yards from the roundhouse, the water
is rushing down the hill, and 200 jards or
track Is covered with water. Tomorrow
morning at daylight, the eastbound pas
sengers will be transferred from Sand
Point by boat to Hope, and west-bound
from Hope to Sand Point. The water is
raging In all the creeks, and Trestle Creek

HEAD OF MAN FOUAD1X PARIC
Severed From Body Just Above the
Collar-Done With Savr.
BERKELEY, CaL. July E A human
head that had been cawed from the body
of a man Just aboe the collar-bone was
found en the bank of a creek that flows
through La Loma Park, a pretty spot
behind North Berkeley, and one frequented
by picnicking parties. The head was that
of a rrilddle-aged man and had been sev
ered from the body by some one unfamil
iar with surgical dissection, according to
medical experts who have examined it.
The preservation of the features is re
markable. The face has the appearance
of having been placed in some fluid to
prevert decomposition. The flesh is not
sun-bleached, so the theory that the head
had been used for experimental purposes
at some medical institute and subsequent
ly discarded is dissipated.
The discovery was made by W. F. Tur
ner, of this city, who 'was accompanied
by a party of pleasure-seekers. Very fre
quently students from the university visit
La Loma Park, while pursuing their stud
ies. A little creek flows through the park
end on each of Us banks is a wealth of
chapparal, tall oak trees and shady nooks,
any one of which affords ample protection
from prying persons and inquisitive cje's
to a person carrying this ghastly burden.
Turner was accompanied by J. G. San
ches, John Augsberger and nine young
ladles. They were walking along the path
when suddenly one of the girls noticed
the head. "There's a man's head," she
exclaimed. Turner immediately reported
his find to Coroner Strelghtlf. The Coro
ner found the head Ijlng in the middle of
the path and returned to this city with
It. After examining the head closely, the
Coroner found It had been sawed from
the body Just at the collar-bone. The
under Jaw had been sawed in two on the
right side, but it was not mutilated other
wise. Dr. G. B. Hoagland voiced the opinion
that the head was not removed at a mea
ical institute.
"The very condition of the head, the
manner in which it had been sawed off,
convinces me that It wab the work of
some Inexperienced person. No medical
student would do such a Job as this."
RECORD APPLE CROP SURE.
Hood River Output Will Be Larger
Than E cr Berore.
HOOD RIVER, Or., July 5. Hood River
will this Fall produce the largest and best
crop since this little valley became so
famous for its fine fruits. It is. estimated
that the crop of Winter apples will be
100 carloads. The old orchards have been
well taken care of and many new ones are
coming into bearing for the first time this
year. One of the largest fruit farms in
the valley is the SO-acre apple orchard of
Dr. J. F. Watt, which this season will
produce seven carloads, or 4090 bushels, of
apples. The Hood River apples at the
Buffalo and Charleston expositions caught
the eye of Eastern buyers, and the de
mand is already greater than the supply,
which means a "good price to the Hood
River apple-growers.
"We have excellent prospects for a full
apple crop this Fall," said Hon. T. L.
Smith, one of Hood RIer"s best-known
apple men. "The output will be a large
Increase over any previous year, as many
new orchards are coming into bearing.
During the past year there has been a
large area set to Winter apples, and it is
significant that our orchardists are setting
out apples of the highest quality the Yel
low Newtown Pippin, the Spltzenberg,
the Jonathan, etc Spraying Is universal
at Hood River, and the process of thin
ning ! now going on in many orchards.
Mr. Crist, an extensive fruit dealer of
Paris, France, who was attracted by our
display of fruit at Buffalo last Fall, and
came to Hood River to secure 10 carloads
of apples at $2 a box, has written me that
he will be hero again this year, about Sep

Frederick the Great Statue.
Boston Herald.
Certain foreign newspapers, naturally
those not printed In Germany, are won
dering what the outcome will be of the
proposal of Emperor William, of Ger
many to erect a statue of Frederick the
Great In the United States. It has been
pointed out that the claim of his descend
ant, the present German Emperor, that
Frederick was a friend of the United
States during its struggle for Independ
ence on the ground that he forbade the
marching of Hessian troops through his
territory when on their way to fight Eng
land's battles in this country, is altogether
a delusion, the Emperor having frankly
avowed in his writings that he imposed
this prohibition as a means of getting
even, a& we should say, with the English
for having on a previous occasion failed
to afford him favors that he had expected.
It is said in other foreign newspapers

to exhldt babies in this way, but it is
meeting with approbation on all sides.
The babies referred to are, of course,
baby grand pianos, and two mighty swell
and beautiful babies they are, tool It is
hardly probable that two more exquisite
specimens of high-class American baby
grand pianos coutd be found. One of them

baby grand pianos, and prominently in
the center of the window is displayed the
suggestive sign, "who has prettier babies
than theso?"
In addition to a large variety of concert

that we In this country need not greatly
scruple to refuse to accept this statue on
the ground that our political traditions
do not harmonize with Kings who claim,
to rule by divine right, because Fred
erick the Great was equally sceptical con
cerning his right to act as vice-regent of
the Deity. As an atheist, it would have
been altogether absurd for him to allege
that there was a divinity that shaped his
personal ends, but he knew that by cus
tom and through descent he was the rul
lnghend of the Kingdom of Prussia; that
his people believed that he was given to
them by God, and, proposing to have his
own way and to he absolute dictator in
public affairs, he was quite prepared to
permit them to cherish this belief, which
he himself would privately have laughed
at.
' t
HISTORY OF STRAW HATS
Plaited Headgear Said to Be an An
cient Industry.
London Globe.
By what happy process prehistoric man
first consummated a headgear we do not
know exactly: but it must obviously have
been a late Incident in the evolution of
that interesting individual. Perhaps a
leafy bough, broken off and held aloft,
was the very flrst thing in "tiles," and
if this were so then some of the garden
hats, dear to the gentler sex today, may
obviously boast a direct descent from
antiquity. When our remote kinsman had
found next that a little shaping a "con
fection" of twigs would remain on the
head without being held there, the thing
was done, and from that brilliant concep
tion down to the sweetest and latest
achievement of Paris the steps are simple
and easy.
Obscurity of Origin.
Historically, the straw hat Is wrapped
In a good deal of mystery- When once
established In something like its present
form It became so much a matter of
course that few ancient writers thought
of alluding to It any more than they
would have dwelt on the homely fact that
a man had shoes on his feet or unmen
tionables to his lower limbs. Authorities
have generally held that the plaiting of
Btraw for the purpose wa3 not practiced
In England before the latter part of tho
18th century, but this Is far too late a
date. Spencer himself mentions such an
industry. "Some plaid with straws," and
Shakespeare In "The Tempest" makes
Iris sing:
Tou sunburnt slckleman, of August weary.
Come hither from the furrow and be merry.
Make holiday; your rye-straw hats put on.
A Hive of Straw.
And In "A Lover's Complaint" the poet
speaks again of a plaited hive of straw
being worn by a fickle maid to preserve
her complexion from the sun. In the
reign of James I the author of "Cru
dites" tell3 us that the finest "strcwen
hats" were worn both by men and women
In Piedmont, many of them having a
hundred seams, and being consequently
very costly, 3 6s having been paid for
"two straw hats and bands for the use
of Lord William Howard." After that
the head covering, pnee a despised essen
tial of rustic costume, became the Joy
of the court, a prlmo Instrument In tho
affected simplicity of an age whose only
Inspiration was pretense.
Queen Anne's great ladles wore straws.
These were followed by Leghorn "chips,"
which were carried Into, overwhelming
popularity on the beautiful heads of the
Misses Gunning, the ladles to whom we
owe this at least, that they not only
graced their own charms by the most
natural and becoming headgear that can
be worn, but gave a mighty Impulse to a
British Industry which flourished for
many years afterward.
Articles of Strivf.
These Leghorn plaits proving too expen
sive for general use. Luton and Dunstable
came to the assistance of the foreign pro
ducer; all over Herts and Suffolk and
down Into Essex. It became possible for
adroit women fingers to earn as much by
the fireside as the men earned by plow or
sickle far afield. "Straw, straw, straw!
everything is ornamented with it, from
the cap to the shoebuckle. and Ceres
seems to be the favorite Idol, not only
with the female, but with the male part
of the world as well, for the gentlemen's
waistcoats are ribbed with straw, and
they look as if they had amused them
selves in Bedlam for some time past man
ufacturing the flimsy doublet," wrote an
essayist in the European Magazine in
17S3, alluding to the craze which followed
on the Duchess of Rutland's use of the
material as an ornament to dress. Even
today the old skill In weaving the glossy
yellow stalks Is not quite forgotten, and
any day one may see In the old localities
cottage women and girls sitting at their
doors gossiping with their neighbors,
whllo the strands accumulate around
them, or weaving as they walk to mar
ket, where the factors are still ready to

WORLD'S TEA DRINKERS.
Great Britain Consumes More Than
Any Other Nation.
London Telegraph.
There Is no one perhaps who plays with
figures In a more Interesting rrianner than
Sir Alfred E. Bateman, who is tho statis
tician of John Bull, shopkeepef, and has
an office at the Board of Trade. He can
make a blue book or, to be accurate,
"whlto book" of figures of absorbing in
terest, and certainly his latest effort i
this direction Is not his least successful.
The title of his latest work Is "Tea and
Coffee, 1900' and forbidding as the statls-.
tlcal tables therein -.appear, Sir Alfred
Bateman's preface is fUll of Interest, and
throws an Interesting light on some of tho
characteristics of the nation, character
istics which our kindred have carried over
the sea with them to the colonies. John
Bull is usually depicted as a free drinker
of beer and spirits, but his penchant is
not so much for alcohol as for tea.
It is that which most distinguishes him
from hi3 neighbors, and, thanks to the
firm planting of .his foot In India and Cey
lon, the tea that he drinks Is mostly and
increasingly grown under the protection of
the union Jack.- "We take a smaller quan
tity relatively every year from China. To
put the matter In a nutshell, the total con
sumption of tea In the United Kingdom
exceeds that of all the other European
countries and the United States put to
gether. During the 17 years from ISS-l to
1900 It has risen from 175,000.000 pounds to
250.000,000 pounds, an Increase of 43 per
cent. To go into further detail, It may be
added that every person In Great Britain
and Ireland, counting each centenarian
and baby in arms, the upper ten and "the
submerged tenth," consumes annually
over six pounds of tea, an increase of one
pound in IS years.
How does this compare with other coun
tries? When It Is stated that we use near
ly half the world's crop, little more in
answer to the question need be said; but
Sir Alfred Bateman. going- Into further de
tail, points out that there Is no other Eu
ropean country where such a per capita
consumption Is approached. Indeed, there
is no 'other European country-, with the
exception of Holland (IAS per head), where
the consumption of tea exceeds one pound
per head.
In Russia (0.93) and In the United States
(1.09). which are the other two large tea
consuming countries, the consumption
amounts to about one pound per head.
In France the total-qifantity of tea-.c,on-sumed
Is under 2,500,000 pounds, or .05 of
a pound per head of the population
In Germany It Is 6,750,000 pounds, or J5
of a pound per head of the population.
And, lastly, the United Kingdom Ira

There
have been
times when

beasts have
been more
merciful
than
human beings, and spared the woman
cast to them in the arena. It is astonish
ing how little sympathy women have
for women; In the home the mistres3
6ees the maid with the signs of suffering
Bhe recognizes so well, but she does not
lighten the sick girl's load by a touch of
her finger. In the store the forewoman
sees the pallor and exhaustion which
mark womanly weakness, but allows
nothing for them. It is work or quit.
Doctor Pierce's Favorite Prescription
makes weak women strong and sick
women well, by curing the womanly
diseases which undermine the health
and sap the strength. "Favorite Pre
scription " establishes regularity, dries
weakening drains, heals inflammation
and ulceration, and cures female weak
ness. "When I first commenced using Dr. Pierce's
medicines," writes Mrs. George A. Strong, of
Gansevoort, Saratoga Co.. N. . "I was suffer
ing from female weakness, a disagreeable drain,
bcanng-down pains, weak and Ured feeling all
the time. I dragged around in that way for
two vears. then 1 began taking your medicine.
After taking the first bottle I began to feel
better. I took four botles of Dr. Pierce's ravor
jte Prescription, two of 'Golden Medical Dis
covery, one vial of the Pleasant Pellets,' also
used one bottle of Dr Sage's-Catarrh Remedy.
Now I feel like a new penon. I can't thank you
nough for your kind adyice and the good your
mediane has done me
"Favorite Prescription M makes weak
women strong, sick women well. Ac
cept no substitute for the medicine which
works wonders for weak women.
Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets are the
most desirable laxative for delicate
iromen- i

Everybody admits that an Immense quan
tity of the precious metal must bo held
in solution, as it were, in the oceans of:
tho globe, but that it would pay mankind
to be at the expense of securing it is, of
course, quite another matter. Still it Is
quite likely that despite tho scientific dif
ficulties in the way of extracting tho
oceanic gold, many mouths will water at
the statement made by Professor Lupton,
of Leeds, who, speaking at the annual
meeting of the Institution of Mining En
gineers last week, declared that, accord
ing to his estimate of tho amount of gold
in the sea, there was sufficient to glvo
six millions sterling to every man, woman
and child on the face of the earth. It
would bo highly Interesting to learn how
Professor Lupton arrives at this conclu
sion. Certainly tho figures are somewhat
astounding.
