Ths Republican convention has ben held and the nominations for State of Boera hare been made. In some respects the nomination of Mr. Furnish was a surprise. I In tact, it wu a. surprise in two ways, la the first. -that Mr. Ueer '' Ud iHrt develop more" strength than he 1 slid, and In the second that Mr. Furnish, who l comparatively a new man poltti J ; call, won the prise so easily. ; However. ,j Jdr.

Washington & Columbia River ..Railroad is building; a steel bridge on a wraps. .TJien, f ftsalrt, we are remaining faithful to the , Empire period; we are wearing King Charles hats and Russian blouse of every kind and description. Never was fashion more varied or more charming ' . : -. There is only one thin which has a tendency toward following strictly a set fashion of the moment: and that Is the corset .Women are stlir elongating their waists in front and shortening their backs out of all proportion. To go to extremes -of this sort la very fellah, but out of evil comes this much good never were., corsets morer hy genie; they .some what resemble ' very wide belt with enormousgores oh the hips; It is wise to encourage a lissome movement and to give freedom to the hips,, so long con fined by' whalebone. The corset should not be a stiff armor in which we Incase ourselves, but-a protection against flhe hundred and'onestrings which are con sidered necessary in the conventional feminine garb Of today. A perfect corset Is as small at possible. But despite this there are many ultra fashionable women who strive to make themselves look ridiculous In a straight fronted corset when their figures are en tirely ,unsuiteoV4o It. Every woman who desires ah "individual style " of figure should carefully consider the points of ths passing fashions and blend them into the style that suits her best. WORTH REMEMBERING. Canned goods require tVery little cook ing as a rule, as they are already cooked before being put In the tin, and some of them, like corn and tomatoes, only re quire at thorough beating.

WHICH SHALL IT BET ; Every woman When making half yearly inspection of her eloseu and trunks has probably experienced the great dlfflculty of deciding what! to keep and' what to throw- away as useless. Perhaps there is no department of housekeeping' in which the natural depravity, of Inanimate objects is mors exemplified than In such selections, .Some garment, or piece of material has been kept year arter year just becauss It is "too good to thrqw away." v . Finally, the owner, Is quite tired out waiting until it may be useful, and gives it away with a bundle of old clothes. wbereupoii, of course, ths long-lookod-for occasion arrives, when Its need Is almost Imparitlve, and something must be bought to fill a necessity for; which the missing oDject wouia nave been "just ttie thing. Many women get queerly attached to their old clothes, to ths various rich ma terials that have composed their dinner gowns and other handsome toilets. They cannot near to treat with disrespect ma terial that has been very mostly, and ths consequence Is they accumulate a regular storehouse during years ot prosperous living. . : LIGHT MENU FOR A DAY Breakfast Baked Apples Cream Plain Omelet Bacon 1 -an calces Coffee : Lunch Veal Cutlet Scalloped Tomatoes wireww wafers Tea Dinner .

And the part , of the. audience that was vitally' concerned would have been perfectly satisfied if they had confined ihelr. cpnversatlon to this silent soul communication and an occaslonar. deep drawn sigh wouldn't have bothered any.

Meanwhile those who were dis turbed by their chatter squirmed la their seats and gave vent to occasional mut tered expostulations.

NO HYDROPHOBIA IN ENGLAND There was a lot of hot discussion in England some years ago over' the ef ficacy or non-enicacy of muscling as a protection against hydrophobia, 1, and the indignation - caused among das- owners by the stringent rules issued by the board of agriculture was ming led with not a little contemptuous In credulity. Perhaps the question is not rettled yet. but1-at any rate the-' au thorities have the best ot the position, for they are now able to "announce that hydrophobia has been entirely stamped out of the United Kingdom and the special muzzling ordinances have there fore been repealed. They do' not intend, however, that there shall be any importa tion of It from abroad, and so the pre cautions against dogs coming from for eign places win still be enforced as rigor ously as ever, up to March 16. After that date a new regulation will come Into force. All dogs will then be subject tot a six months', quarantine at the expense and on the responsibility of their owners. They will have, to be under the direct care, or at least under the supervision, of a veterinary - surgeon, If they die during that Interval, their death must be reported. Places of detention are to be provided, and care-is to be taken that they travel In "a suitable hamper, crate, box or other receptacle." The owner who neglects to comply with these rules will bo held to have committed an offense. Dogs which are left on the hands of the authorities will be disposed of. Excep tion win be made for dogs en transit. rney win be allowed to pass If their stay is not prolonged beyOnd twenty-four hours, and performing dogs will also have a privilege.

The tree Is hot found, for. sug-ar-nfaking pur poses, outside of iNorth.JVmerlca, being eonflned to the northerh parts of (ha United States and the British possessions. The secret of ' making sugar from its sap was urobably obtained 'by . the early white Settlers of America from the In dians, and formerly it was an industry of no amatl Importance. According to the census of 1870 the total production of tnapie syrup In.i the United States the preceding year was ' tj, 443,643 pounds '. In ' different States. :,l of i which Ver mont, contributed tlrt H most S.Wf.SOJ pounds. : Indiana's record that year was 1.337.333 pbunds. The total; quantity Of mgple molasses returped was 321,057 'gal lops not -sufficient to constitute a great factor In na'tional wealth, but enough to sweeten a,vgreat lmany" buckwheat cakes. The production is not as great now as it was then, though the machinery and fa culties for. ths manufacture have been greatly improved- For some , reason or other Vermont has always, led all. the other states in the. production of maplo sugar perhaps because the thrifty farm, era ef that state Jad -foresight enough to, preserve; their trees, and perhaps be cause they found it a convenient way to eke out small incomes. In 1893 Congress passed a law giving a bounty on sugar of any Jsind .manufactured in -the United States that reached, a specified standard, of excellence, and out of 4,000 sugar-makers in the entire Country who ' complied with the taw, filling nt blanks and tak ing preliminary steps to secure the boun ty, 2800 were In Vermont ' .

The number of persons who have, probably in early life, experienced the pleasure ot a visit to a sugar camp Is vastly , greater than the number ot those who profit by Its .manufacture, and the perennial sweetness of the memories engenedered by) these Visits outweighs that of any year's product Most of the dwellers.

" THE WIDTH OF A RIVER - It is necessary to make use only of the eyes and the brlni of a hat to measure he. width of any ordinary stream, or even of .a. good-slied" river, and here is the way to do it: . . v ' Select a part of the river bank where .the, grounds run back level, and, standing st the water's edge, fix your eyes on the opposite bank. Now, .move your hat down over ."your brow - until the edge of the brim Is. exactly on a line with. the water line on the other side. This will give you a visual angle that may be used on 'any, level surface, and If, as, has beep suggested, the ground oh your side of the river be flat you. may "lay off" a corre sponding distance on.it. To do this you fcave only' to hold your head perfectly steady, after getting the angle with your hat brim, supporting your chin with your hand, If necessary, and turn slowly around until your, back is toward the river; Now take careful note of where your hat brim cuts' the level surface of the ground as you look over the latter, and from where you stand to that point will be the width of the river a distance that may readily be measured by step ping. If you are careful in all these de tails you can come within a few. feet of the river's width. Detroit Free press.
