The management of the Flagstaff mine has placed a force of miners to sinking, and in a few days the seven hundred foot level will have been reached. The company is still handicapped on account of a lack of water, but the volume is gradually increasing as depth is attained, and judging from all indications It is only a matter of time until a sufficient quantity will be obtained. The mill is dow running 12 hours per day, and the results are very encouraging. Mr. E. Imhaus, the agent of the French Flag staff Mining Co., is pushing develop ment work rapidly ahead under the su perintendence of Mr. O. W. Reynolds, but as yet he considers that the Flagstaff is nothing more than a prospect, as he is of the opinion that it will require ad ditional work to determine the perma nency of the property. The gentleman is a conservative mining man, and, un like many others engaged in this busi ness, he does not allow bis enthusiasm to get away with his better judgment. However, with sufficientwater the Flag staff will be enabled to make a splendid showing. Baker Democrat. Proposals for School Building.

Their Destructtveness Shown by the Con tents of H. Borrow. Arthur S. Burr, of Old liaddain, yvher going across lots recently dissoVerec the carcass of a woodebuck portly eat en, and a little further alonjjf a ruffec grouse. Thinking it was the work of c fox, be made search and found the bur row, with a large black heu and two more partridges at its mouth. Suspect ing there were young partridges in the row, he made up his mind to- return and dig them out, as the town of H ad dam pays a bounty of two dollars a head. It was fwe days before he had a chance to do this, and when he dug out the burrow with the assistance of Sheroi Fowler he found that the wily mother fox had removed. They were determined to have that bounty, and in cidentally the foxes, and after a long search they found a new burrow, pick ing up two more partridges on the way. On digging out this new hole they took out eight partridges, three rabbits and a very large woodebuck, with five young foxes in the end. The partridges were partly eaten, but the wodchuck .'as completely cleaned out, nothing nt the skin being left. Sportsmen have long claimed that foxes were more destructive to game than all the hunters, and have noted a great increase of foxes in towns that liave not paid a bounty for the. last few ears. The only incentive the farmers boys have for killiDg the fox is the bounty money. Eight partridges in a burrow but four days old show the great destructiveness of foxes. VENEER PRODUCTION. Some Woods Can Be Sawed .as Tbln as Writing: Paper. While the finer and thinner veneers of costly woods are sliced tangentially from the side of the log, there are woods that cannot be cut this way no mount of boiling or teaming render- g it possible to cut them without reaking down the tissues to such an extent as to destroy their surfaces for polishing while others, says Hard wood, becoming discolored from steaming or boiling, and being too hard to cut otherwise, have to be sawed. The fine-toothed, thin-gauge circular, with flanged center, is the favorite for cutting all ordinary veneers thicker than 30 to the inch; 20 to the inch is the thickness most commonly used for cab inet work and finishing, but much thinner is used in the case of rare and costly woods, or rare abnormal or acci dental figures, as in the case of burls. Some woods have to be cut much thick er, being unable to bear handling when too thin; genuine ebony, the only fine really jet-black wood known, and large enough to be of any use, will not stand sawing- much below one-fourth of an inch in thickness, owing to the extreme brittleness or want of cohesion, but there are other woods That can be cut as thin as writing paper and still be handled in large sheets. Other woods there are that will lose their fine color on exposure to the atmosphere, espe cially a smoky one; these are cut only when immediately wanted, and are kept covered until the finishers can put on a protective coat of some prepara tion. ANIMAL WARFARE. Monkeys of Africa Depend Upon Their Numbers and Discipline. The conditions of the life of the mon key in Africa are sufficiently curious without reference to their acquired habits, though these are undoubtedly due to the dangers to which the nature of the country in which they live ex- ! poses them. The different species of j baboons, which are found commonly over the whole African continent, are all by nature dwellers in the open coun try. They find their food on the ground, nud whether this be insects or vege tables, it is usually in places which af ford little shelter or protection. Though strong and well armed with teeth, they are slow animals, with little of the mon key agility when on the ground, and not particularly active even when climbing among rocks. In a rocky 'kopjes' of the south, says the Spectator, of the cliffs and river sides of Abyssinia and the Nile tribu taries, they are safe enough. But they often abandon these entirely to invade the low country. During the Abyssin ian expedition conducted by Lord Na pier of Magdaia tJiey regularly camped near our cantonments on the coast- and stole the grain on which the cavalry horses and transport animals were fed. When on expeditions of this kind they often leave their strongholds for days together, and the means of joint de fense from enemies in the open coun try nre then carefully organized. Their natural enemies when thus exposed are the leopard, the lion, and the south ' ern Africa and Cape wild dogs. To the nttack of the leopard they oppose num bers and discipline. LOST.

A GENTLEMAN. Exhibits the True Knightly spirit A Lesson In Courtesy. She was an old German woman: Xo one knew where she was going, but evi dently some distance, for she carried an enormous bundle wrapped in news paper and containing her personal ef ftcts. Supernatural gift3 of second sight were not necessary to discover the last fact, for hardly had the old woman entered the traiu before th? contents of her package were exhib ited to the view of the other travel ers. Newspapers have their uses, but they - were never intended for wrap ping parcels. The strain and the heat of the poor old creature's arms had been too much for -it. There was a sound like the outburst of a long pent-up sigh, followed by a shower of neat but plain garments of feminine wearing ap parel along the aisle, and a ripple of laughter which traveled rapidly down the car. Everyone was interested. That newspaper was g.-ne, the contents of the package were scattered. What was the owner going to do? She did not know any better than the other pas sengers, and it was no laughing mat ter for her.' Just then a man, who had been intently reading his paper, looked up and took in the situation at a g'ance. He arose quietly, put down his paper and stepped into the aisle. One after the other he took up the different arti- j cles, rolled them into tight little bun dles, took his own paper and wrapped them neatly in it. tied together the broken string and handed the woman her pockage in many times liettor con dition than it was before. She was not diffusive in her thanks, but her grati tude was shown in her face. "Oh, tank you, ,sir: tank you, sir," she said, as she sat down, smiling happily, her re juvenated bundle clasped tightly inher rms again. Caricaturists in depicting a German' are in the habit of putting a big pipe in his mouth. The pipe is national, indeed, but the Germans as a nation are far from ileing the greatest smokers. They do not smoke more than French men, Russians. Swedes or Hungarians. The men of the United States and the men of Switzerland are the most in veterate smokers on earth. In these two countries the consumption of to bacco per capita is three times greater than in Germany. At the same time-, we also raise more tobacco than any other country on the globe. British India comes next,' producing nearly as much as we do. A Fiendish Deed. The murder of the queen of Corea is now known to have been a most atrocious one.

J. WOODCOCK, Agent, Wamic, Or. FEW BIRDS OF PARADISE. They Have Been Nearly All Destroyed to " " s Supply the Millinery Trade. The bird of paradise most used in millinery is obtained from the Papuan islands and New Guinea, says a writer in Nature. Mr. Wallace, in describing the Paradisea apoda, says: "From each side of the body7 beneath the .wings, springs a dense tuft of long and deli cate plumes, sometimes two feet in iengtb, of the most golden-orange color, and very glossy, but changing toward the tips into a pale brown. This tuft of plumes can be elevated and spread out at pleasure, so as almost to con ceal the body of the bird." Jules Forest bitterly deplores the destruction which has been going on during the last dec ade. He emphasizes the fact that it is no longer possible to procure such perfect specimens as were common ten .years ago. since the unfortunate birds are so hunted that none of them are al lowed to live long enough to reach full maturity, the full plumage of ' the male bird requiring several years for its development. He further states "that birds which now Hood the Paris market are for the most part young ones, still clothed in their first plum age, which lacks the brilliancy dis played in the older bird, and are con sequently of small commercial value." Since January 1, 1892, strict regula tions for the preservation of the bird of paradise have been in force in German New Guinea, and M. Forest appeals to the English and Dutch governments to follow their good example. The common sense of every thought ful woman must at once tell her that no comparatively rare tropical species, such as the bird of paradise, can long withstand this drain upon it, and that this ruthless destruction, merely to pander to the capr'ce of a passing fash ion, will soon place one of the most beautiful denizens of our earth in the same category as the great auk and the dodo. ' - Pulled Two Teeth for Revenge. Dr. Dougal was a famous Scotch phy sician, and as eccentric as learned. One day a man came to consult him, in an agony of pain, and, after an examinar tion, the doctor told the patient he had an ulcerated tooth and advised him to poultice the jaw. An argument ensued, during which the sufferer cried oat: "What do you know about teeth T At this, the doctor seized a pair of for ceps and shouted: "111 draw every tooth in your head!" The alarmed pa tient ran out of the house, with the doctor in pursuit, who finally overtook him in the market place, and took out two of his teeth, in the midst of an inter ested crowd. 4 Music for the Baby.
