There is no mistaking the chinook, It goes about its work like an Indian runner on the trail strong, keen, steady and tireless. All through the wintry night it sends the clouds skurrying across the face of the wan moon and the . peeping stars, and when the day is far advanced its noisy voicings are still .heard upon the hills and far down in the valleys. Welcome aa angels' visits was its com ing in pioneer times. Long time the enow had lain deep npon the ranges. The gaunt stock shivered by frozen pas- tares, and the rancher who had fed out liia last precious store of fodder carried a heavy heart within his bosom. Per chance he had gone to hiB bed with the stars shining cold and crystalline in the zero weather, and was awakened before morning by the unmistakable pipings of the long-desired west wind. Sweeter music never fell upon the ear of the stockman. For in its shrill treble and moaning cadence he heard a song and poem of the returning springtime. To him it brought hope, and to his cattle life and fatness. Ten hours later the brown earth came out of the snowbanks, the famished stock was grazing on the uncovered bunchgrass, and everywhere was rejoicing. To the Indian mind it assumed the importance of a spirit. He named it the chinook, because it came to him from the land of the Chinooks who dwell upon the shores of the great salt water. When the winter was long and frozen, and his children and ponies were dying around him, he had resource to his rude religion. The Mighty Spirit was asked to send quickly the mild spirit of the west . wind, and around the flaming campfire the priests wrought their in . cantations, arid, the warriors dabced the mysterious ghost dance. And thus the chinook has become a part ot the history and mythology of the Pacific northwest, and will continue for ever one of its most pleasing and poeti cal characteristics. Spokane Review. The total value of the crops of the U. S. during 1892 is figured at $3,000,000,000. of which the largest item is $750,000,000 worth of hay. The animal products, in cluding meats, dairy products, poultry and eggs, and wool, are put at $965,000 000 more. A bushel of corn makes four gallons of whiskey, which retails for $16. Out of this the government gets $4, the rail roads $1, the manufacturer $3, the ven dor $7.60 and the farmer 40 cents ; and the man who drinks it gets the delirium tremens and the headache thrown in 'for good measure. The Minneapolis Times tells of a dry goods store in that city which has en gaged three teachers to instruct its cash girls in writing and arithmetic, and has set apart a portion of its store as a school room. The pupils are divided into two classes of twenty-five girls each and the sessions are from 8 :30 to 10 :30 in the morning. This firm shows keen fore eight and business ability in introducing this practical, helpful, phase of instruct- A bill that abolishes the postal notes now - in use has passed both houses of congress. Instead of . the postal note the new bill creates a money order sys tem by which orders can be secured at rates as low as those now charged by express companies. For orders not ex ceeding $2.50 the charge is three cents, and the fee increases until it is thirty cents for sums over $75, and nnder $100. July 1st next is fixed as the date for the new law to take effect. The per capita consumption of wool in the TJ. S. has grown from 4.49 Bs. in 1840 to 5.58 Ba in 1850, 6.84 Sa in 1860, 7.93 S8 in 1870, 8.52 Bs in 1880, and 9.07 Bos in 1890. The late statistician of the bureau of statistics of the treasury department thinks the limit of produc tion in wool has been reached in the leading wool countries, such as AuBtra , lia and Argentine Republic, and that in . the near future the supply will hardly keep pace with the demand.

Gesa Berger, the actor and newspa per man, has a picture in calfgTaphy that has a remarkable history. It is in size thirty by forty-two inches, and is the work of Joseph Loew, the most noted counterfeiter that the Austrian government ever knew. When an application is made for a pardon in Austria the red tape policy of that country compels the applicant to address the emperor with all his titles. Emperor Ferdinand had about forty titles. Loew engTaved all of these names, together with his petition for a pardon, on a cherry stone. The letters were so fine that it re quired the aid of a powerful micro scope to decipher them. One day when the emperor visited thS prison Loew in person presented a cherry stone to the emperor and told him what it con tained. The emperor made an exam ination and was so amazed at the work that he gave him an unconditional par don. Not only did he pardon him, but gave him a position as a detective to trail down counterfeiters. Loew was a well informed man in all the arts and rascalities of counterfeiters, and in less than two years after his pardon he ran to the earth almost every coun terfeiter in Austria, and died a few years ago covered with detective hon ors. The picture, although make fifty years ago, is in a remarkable 6tate of preservation. ' - SPARE THE BIRDS. A. Protest Against the Wanton Destruc tion of the Feathered Tribe. An American dealer sold last year two million bird skins. All were used for ornamenting woman's attire. Wom en ought to cry down this vanity that feeds and pampers the destruction of the feathered tribes. The birds sac rificed are, of course, those of richest plumage, and, of course, also, those that will be least easily replaced. In fact, if this thing continues Amer ican bird life of the gentler order will pretty soon become extinct. Is not the warfare the American Humane society has opened upon the bird-skin traffic wholly justifiable? We think so. The destruction referred to contributes not one whit to human need nor human comfort. It adds nothing to the intel lectual, nothing to the mental. It is simply wantonness practiced at the beck of fashion, and as silly and meaningless a fashion, too, as ever was spawned from the brain of a man mil liner. ... There are birds in plenty that shed their plumage, to supply the vain de mand for flaming headgear. Why should the fashion monarchs be inexor able, and also demand the bodies of our feathered songsters? Tbe Moth as a Decorative Artist. Few persons suspect that the com mon moth may be utilized as a decora tive artist, but he may be if only one be watchful, patient and acquainted with the creature's habits. The larva of the "moth has a habit of spiqning about itself a sort of sac from the ma terial upon which it feeds. As the worm grows it enlarges this sac by the process of splitting it and inserting new material. Now, if a moth worm that has inclosed itself in red flannel be afterward transferred, sac and all, to white flannel, the growing insect will slit its red flannel covering and enlarge it with a portion of the white flannel. If, then, the worm and the sac be transferred to blue flannel, the creature will in course of time enlarge the sae with blue flannel, and thus clothe itself patriotically in red, white and blue. Entomologist Southwick, of the park department, says that it is no great trouble to put a moth worm through this performance. -Now Try This.

VP-Wfc? OLD FEUDAL CUSTOMS. Some That Still Survive In Por tions of Canada. Seigniories Near Quebec Still Bon en the Principles Iatd Down In Farts "Pour Centuries Ago and Repealed as JLong Ago as the French Revolution. Pafkman and others have told ns all about the mild feudal system which prevailed in French Canada down to 1854. The seignior received a grant of wild land from the king on condition that he should put settlers upon it. He had to preserve the oak timber for ship building, and the red pine for the man ufacture of tar, and to notify the king's agents if he found minerals on the seigniory. He had to go through the form of paying homage and fealty to the king's representative at Quebec when he entered on possession, some times oftener, and to pay a fifth of the purchase money if he sold the estate to the royal coffers, though he was al lowed a rebate of two-thirds for cash down. The censitaire or habitant, who held the land under the seignior, had to pay the annual cens et rentes, often a sol (cent), or half a sol, with half a pint of wheat or a few live capons or eggs for each arpent. The land of the censataire passed to his heirs, but, in case he sold during his lifetime, the lods et ventes came into play, and one twelfth of the purchase money went to the seignior. By the droit de re trait the seignior could compel a pur chaser within forty days of the sale to transfer the property to him at the price paid if he thought it had not fetched enough. The censitaire had to get his wheat ground at the seignior's mill, and on some seigniories to have his bread baked at the seignior's oven, paying a toll in each case; to give a tithe of the fish he caught to the seignior, to do corvee or road work, and to get ont stone and timber for public purposes. Seigniors who could afford to support a local magistrate were empowered to administer superior, mean and inferior justice on their estates, but as a class they were very poor and this right fell into desuetude. In 1854, says the New York Post, the parliament of Canada bought out the seigniors. . There were 160 of them, in possession of 220 fiefs, embracing 0,000, 000 acres of cultivated laud. The censitaire was given his choice of two things the cens et rentes were capi talized, and he could either pay the capital sum to the seignior, in which case, of course, he got a clear title to his holding, or continue on as a tenant at a rental equal to 6 per cent, of the capitalization. The tenant I came across, or his father before him, had, like many more, chosen the latter course. " The other seigniorial rights were settled by the government at a cost of about 5,000,000. The system would have been abolished before 1854 only the Roman Catholic church was afraid that in the debacle, as timid , souls called it, the tithes and fabrique taxes which she collected by authority of law mierht be abolished, too.. - The landlord of whom I have spoken was good enough to let me look at a batch of old papers and books in which the doings of his predecessors in the seigniory and of their censitaires are recorded for 150 years. These papers enabled one to form a tolerably good idea of the sort of life the people led. First as to prices: In 1667, as other documents show, wheat sold in the markets of Quebec at 80 cents per bush el. A creditor was bound to accept it at that price. Beef sold for 8 cents and pork for 6 cents' per pound, the four pound loaf for 10 cents. Prices had dropped a little by 1738. Wheat was then worth 02 cents. In 1742 it fell to 40 cents. There had been a good crop in the - region east of Quebec on the south shore of the. St. Lawrence, which was regarded as the granary of New France. Capons sold for 10 cents each in 1740, but when paid as cens et rentes their conventional price was 20 cents. Most of the deeds called for "good fat capons of the brood of the month of May." In ' 1740 carpenters and blacksmiths got from 00 to 80 cents a day, unskilled laborers 40 cents. . Cloth of all kinds except . homespun was dear." The for eign trade of the colony was confined to France and French possessions, but there was a good deal of smuggling by land and water from New England and New York. Twenty yards of "fine woolen "cloth" cost 02 cents a yard in 1746. The censitaires and the common people generally clothed themselves in homespun, l'etoffe du pays, made boots out of green beef hides, got their sugar from the maple,- and had, as a rule, plenty of game and fish. Most of them had a vegetable patch. They ex changed timber or furs for store goods as they required. The well-to-do seig niors imported wine, brandy, velvet, lace, jewelry, etc. An all-velvet suit with a dress-sword, ruffles, buckles and a gilt snuff box thrown in, cost 852 in 1770. The poorer seigniors lived much as their censitaires lived. Their wives and daughters were forced to work in the fields to save the cost of hired la bor, which was scarce. Just before the British conquest the colony was flooded with depreciated paper money, and the crops failing at the same time the price of wheat ran up to $1.90. ' There were no books save among the clergy and seigniors; printing was not introduced until nearly a century and a half after the first printing press had been set up in New "England. There were no schools in the rural parishes and no semblance of munic ipal government either in town or country. Public meetings were not allowed lest they stir up sedition. A Curious Coptic Custom. The Coptic patriarch of Alexandria is never allowed to sleep more than fif teen minutes at any one time, and if the attendant should allow the holy one's nap to extend beyond the allot ted time the penalty is decapitation Upon being aroused at the end of each quarter hour the patriarch arises and spreads his rug upon the floor, kneels upon it, bows his head three times to the east; and again retires. now DO YOU DO when you buy shoes or clothing? Don't you go to the place (if you can find it ) where they tell you that you may wear the articles ont, and then, if you're not satisfied, they'll refund the money ? Why not do the same when you buy medicine? Dr. Pierce's Gfolden Medical Dis covery is sold on that plan. It's the only blood -purifier so certain and effective that it can be guar anteed to benefit or cure, in every case, or you have your money back. It's not like the ordinary spring medicines or sarsaparillas. All. the year round, it cleanses, builds up, and invigorates . the system. If you're bilious, run-down, or dysr peptic, or have any blood -taint, nothing can equal it as a remedy. The worst cases of Chronic Catarrh in the Head4 yield to Dr. Sage's Catarrh Remedy.
