building arose in mutiny. At the

in their might arose to the tops of
convenient tables or chairs or tore
off large thin strips of screams at
irregular and almost continuous
intervals. The cause of all the
uproar and also all the climbing
was a Door littlo squexking rut
which, in the foolishness of youtl
sought the society of pretty young
women and met with a hearties
reception. He ran around tl
room, his head turned first thi
wav then that by the charms
the various clerks, and all the
while the fair creatures, from the
pinnacles to which they had tem
porarily climbed for their safety
screamed "murder" and "mice"
the ton of the liieh G note in the
treble at the ton of the puee. Just
berore the girls becanio exausti
and surrendered to the rat, jani
Urs rushed in and rained the ieg
of the iiension girls. The rust of
the day was spent in straightening
out the nuavers made In the at
moephere by the screeches.
CLAUS HritECKLEH AS A I'ltOrjIET,
It is my belief that a revolution
in the matter of railway construe
tion and travel Is at hand. I he
lieve with new and impored metli
ods of construction, and with the
use of new motor power, transpor
tation speed will be immensely in
creased. Klectricity will take the
place of steam, and a single truck
will take the place of the present
double rails, and whereas OU miles
an hour is now the very limit of
speed, 150 miles an hour, and possi
ble more than that, will be attained
with more safety and comfort
the travelers than is now assure
them. It may be thought that
such a prophecy is rhimoncal, but
assuredly it is no more chimerical
at this day than was the telegraph
the tolephono or the steam railway
in the days of their infancy.
have ventured this us a prophecy
of a man who can remember when
there were almost no railroads and
no telegraphs and no telephones.
Claus spreckles.
The regions of the Little Colo
rado river in Arizona abound in
wonderful vegetable petrifactions
whore forests being found in some
places which are hard as flint, but
which look as if recently stripped
of foliago. Home of these stone
trees are standing just as natural
as life while others ure piled across
each oilier just like the f.illou
monarch of a real wood forest,
Geologists say thut these stone
tree were once covered to the
depth of 1000 feet with marl, wht-h
transformed theiri trom wood to
solid rock. This marl, after
lapse of ages, washed out, leaving
some the trees standing in an up
right position. The majority of
them, however are piled belter
skelter in all directions, thousands
of cords being sometimes piled up
on an acre of ground.
The following very fishy item is
from the New York Sun: "1 was
a stock-holder in the first railroad
ever built in Oregon," said a vet
eran Wall-street man, "and it was
a snap. The road was a street in
Portland. It was built in lStil,
and road, rolling stock and mules
cost only a little more than
00. It was a milo long, and every
man, woman and child that rode
that mile had to come down with
25 cents. There were only six
stockholders, and the first year we
paid for the road and divided
nearly $50,000 in profits. We
didn't know what a good thing we
had and when in 1SG1 Hen Holiday
ottered us $200,000 for it, cash, we,
like fools, went and sold n to
him. 1 wish I had it now."
Pendleton K O: One of the first
things the Commercial and Athletic
Club of Iho Dalles did was to buy
its furniture and fixtures for the
equipment of its homo in Portland,
ignoring the local dealers through
whom at least these goods could
have been ordered. A Comiuerciul
Association which has entered the
race to win success and bemlit the
town in which it exists tiuu-t not

THE FALLEN NAPOLEON.

It waa a stubliorii fight with fate that
went on In the glided hlyslan palace In
tho street of rt. llonoro In tboee bright
days of a I'arl Juno. An emHror was
trying the bard task of ruling hi own
spirit ; a conqueror wa let to the bitter
trugglo of conquering himself. Than
thl there I no harder task In all tho
world, whether for boy or emperor.
And In thl fight allies were not to bo
depended Upon; fH really were friends.
For the first would have templd the over
powered monarch to aland at bay agidnst
victorious Kuroie and distrusting Franco.
The other were determined to drive him
from France at all hazards. And In his
oaso to go waa his only safety, though had
lie died lighting for hi lost crown history
would havo glveu hi in eveu greater glory.
Then came tho end, when his minister
set themselves up to bo his masters; when
those ho had most richly rewarded became
111 kocncHt foes; when France refused to
acknowledge a It ruler a man twice over
thrown; when from those to whom be
looked for counsel came only lukewarm
loyalty, false protestation or unwelcome
truth; when from auger at tho unreliable
chamber of deputies, whom ho, like Crom
well, threatened to turn out "neck and
heels," he would change to Indecision, al
ienee, even timidity, It was plain the.ro
wa but one thing lo do.
Ho did it. Uu tho S'Jdof June, 1815,

three day later left I'arl forever.

crystallization from water. A much cheap

higher temperature. Tho operation Is con
ducted In an Iron vessel of procr sue and
shaiNS and either caustic soda er potash 1

latter. In regard lo this luiint, hawever,
cierl:ncnt Is said to prove that a mixture
uf 40 pans of caustic potash to till parts of
