The last performance of the Hyers
Sisters in Ottawa was listened to by a
really appreciative audience, and the
many and insisted on encores from end to
end of the programme showed what
those present thought of the entertain

and the whole affair is worthy of the
best notice which the troupe has received
at the hands of both the American and
Canadian press, The solo singers were,
without exception excellent, in most
cases combining those qualities of voice

nine miles north of Lyle burned to the
ground about midnight Saturday last.
The engineer had been down to the mill
about 9 o'clock to let the water out of
the pumps, to prevent their freezing,
and everything was all right then. At
- half past ten before going to bed he
looked out towards the mill as was his
custom, but saw no signs of fire. The
first intimation he had of it was being
awakened by the light in thl room. At
this time the mill was in flames all over,
and nothing sould be done to save it.
By hard fighting a portion of the lumber
was saved. The loss is about $5,000, and
as we are informed there was no in
surance. The mill was new having been
started up during the summer.

The point of its termination is rendered
Btill more acute by the fact that the high

moss" undertook to remove the outer

tJLhe cuticle of the gullible webfoot, is

wisdom illuminate the dark vistas of a
"drunk and disorderly" the other morn
ing. As the arid culprit stood before
him, vainly seeking a sign 'of sympa
thetic irrigation in his honor's eye or
either of them the recorder remarked :
"Young man you are charged with be
ing drunk, drunk aud disorderly. A
common social, soaking drunk wasn't
rich enough for you; but abandoning
the traditions of your race, which limit
drunks to the peaceable, sociable, soak
ing, all-the-hide-can-hold variety, you
violated your obligations, filled up on
ghost dance essence, and imagined you
were Two Strike, Kicking Bear, Big
Foot, or some other high and mighty
Sioux. You were sadly mistaken. You
realize this now, and to assist your
mind in remembering this fact the court
will sequestrate you for ten days, that
you may learn to prefer the hospitalities
of the city and civilization, to the wild
and cheerless freedom of the brakebeam
or blind baggage."

forth in Article II of the constitution,
which reads is follows: "Membership.

It is quite important that the state
board should take some active measures
in relation to the Cascade Locks improve

Washington changing the plan of com

of letting the whole thing out by con
tract. Under the present regime the
new born babe will not live to see the
locks in operation and steamers laden
with products of the Inland Empire
passing through to the seaboard.

THE SECRET MOURNER.

busy town;
And with furtive footsteps following: I watched
them lay taim down;
Xbe mourners, many and sad though they wept
there one and all,
The tears that fell were as naught to mine, that
could notfalL
We loved each other dearly. In a day that is dis
tant now, -
But something got to his ear, and he suddenly
changed Bomehow
A something got to his ear. I never could gather
whatr- .
And he kept away from thence, and his love for
me was not. .
Ibid my grief in my heart, and bore it as best I
might;
There was never darkness yet but had some re
lieving light;
And I found a balm In the thought that, although
his love was gone,
I could follow him secretly, and in secret stin
loveon.
And this Tve done through the years that have
come and gone since then
(So far the love of women surpasses the love of
men);
Pre hung on his track to the last, for I only
ceased today.
And from his grave in the town I turned in my
woe away.
Earth now looks lone in my eyes, yet I am not all
cast down;
I have firm faith that at last I shall somewhere
grasp Love's crown I -That
when the end shall have come, whatever
is good and true
Will receive Its Just reward, and a love like mine
its due.

Glycerine as a Wool Preservative.
In order to make wool tissues water
proof manufacturers have to expose the
fabric to temperatures as high as 2C6 to
284 degs. Fahrenheit, and it has been
found thai the tissue thus treated loses
all its resistance. Up to 230 degs. there
is no change in wool or woolen goods,
but when heated to 266 degs. or above
both turn yellow and show evidences of
combustion. By a series of experiments
Mr. J. Perzog, an eminent French an
alytical chemist, has discovered a new
process by means of which wool threads
and fabrics may be made to retain their
durability and original resistance under
high temperature during the process of
manufacture.
Acting upon the established fact that
glycerine greatly prevents evaporation
of humidity, Mr. Perzog saturated some
woolen fabrics with a solution contain
ing 10 per cent, of glycerine, and ex
posed them to high temperatures. The
fabrics thus treated showed not the
slightest change under a temperature of
284 degs. Fahrenheit, and they retained
13 per cent, of the glycerine. The dis
covery of this simple principle removes
one of the greatest difficulties with
which manufacturers of waterproof
fabrics have had to contend. Philadel

About Torpedo Boats.
The next most important thing to
speed in a torpedo boat is the quick
turning, and for this purpose the larger
Normand, Schicatt and Yarrow boats
have two rudders, one in the usual place
at the stern and one under the bow.
Mr. Thornycroft has another device.
He puts two curved rudders near the
stern and the propeller is between them,
so that when the rudders are turned to
gether, the water which the propeller is
driving astern is turned a little to one
side and helps to push around the boat.
The latest idea in torpedo boats is to
have their launching tubes mounted on
turn tables on deck instead of being
fixed in the bow- With this improve
ment a boat wall not have to steam
straight at her enemy, stop, launch its
torpedo and then turn to run away; but
it can train its tube on the big ship as if
the tube were a gun, and launch the tor
pedo while rushing past at full speed.
This would be less dangerous for the
torpedo boat, for it would not afford the
men on the ship a good aim at her.
John M. Ellicott, IT. S. N., in St Nich
olas. An Odd Coincidence.
An old friend (call him W.) relates
how, while he was in Florida, his watch
stopped. Since it was a very good
watch and had never stopped before,
and had been duly wound the evening
before, W. was much surprised that it
wouldn't go. By and by the head of the
house (call him B.) came in. " "Will you
please give me the time?" said W. "Cer
tainly," said B., and pulled out his
watch. B. had a timepiece which was
entirely trustworthy, not given to irreg
ularities of any kind. He pulled it out
of his pocket. "By JoveP' he exclaimed,
"my watch is stopped; that's queer."
They compared the two watches, and
they had stopped at the same hour and
at the same minute, and why they had
stopped neither man was able to discov

the seventh time that week.
" Grandma patiently took them from

: "Try not to ask for them any oftener
Chan you can help. Kitty."
"Hb'm," said Kitty, adding, as -a
clever solution of the difficulty occurred

What Good Clothes Will Do.
The'proprietors of 'an up town clothing
store have adopted a novel method of
soliciting trade. They have hired a man
who has long been familiar to every one
in their neighborhood as a ragged, dis
reputable looking fellow, clothed him in
a handsome full dress suit, furnished
him with a beaver, a finely laundered
shirt and everything else that a man ac
customed to dress well could possibly
need, and turned him loose to distribute
neat advertising cards about the neigh
borhood. He usually wears some fresh
flowers pinned to the lapel of his coat,
and as he goes about distributing his
cards strikes people who have known
him and scorned him for so many years
as a remarkable example of wh&t-good
clothing will do. New York Tribune. ,
