NATURE'S LAKE OF SOFT SOAP
ACnrloaK Formation In the Pap North
. west AYlileti LatherM at a Touch, . "
The t'reat Northern Railway com
pany lately announced a rate of 00 cents
per 100 pounds on soap slush from
Northern Pacific coast points to Chi
cago and Mississippi and Missouri river
points, says the Seattle Times. Sonic
one has requested a rate on this ci.m
modity, but there does not appear to
be many people who know what soap
slush is. One ingenious gentleman said
that it was the product of certain small
lakes on the line of the road fhat are
filled with a thick silica water, which,
when one's hands are washed in it,
gives a lather that, would bring joy to
the heart of any washerwoman or ton
sorial artist. When the. hair is washed
in this wonderful native product the
head, swells with lather lill it. takes
the proportions of a snow mountain.
Sunburn on the face vanishes as mist
before the sunshine in June.
"There is a lake of this wonderful
liquid," said this veracious informant,
"over on ihe Kusfc side. It is a mile long
and proportionally broad. Do you
know that we are really yet in ignor
ance of what we have in this country?"
i Local soap people, when asked to de
fine and tell about soap slush, were non--plused.
They bave. i t -up.' Another
party said that, not long ago he received
a curious product from Wnlla Walla, a
kind of sand mixed with soap sub
stances, front which it- was thought
soap could be probably made here to
supply the washerwomen of the goat
commons in the New York suburbs.
A last effort to determine the char
acter of soap slush elicited the informa
tion that the commodity originated at
Portland, probably at the horse meat
cannery.

CAJOLED THE JUY.
Am Interesting Incident of a Memora
ble I.aivMiiit.
The jury in the Martha Washing-ton
case, a famous trial of 40 years ago,
wherein rthe captain of the steamboat
Martha Washington and others were
charg-ed with .burning- ithe boat to se
cure .insHnvnce, was chosen with diffi
culty, says McClure's Migaziue. Dur
ing their five weeks service the mem
bers of it were assailed on every side
by the zealous feminine sympathizers of
the accused. By every art possible to
youth, beauty and wit and the reckless
abandon, of lives largely spent in the
companionship of advenurers were
they approached!. "If you do not go into
that jury room and vote 'not guilty in
an hour you will be a dead man," said
the wife of the captain, confronting an
aged juror on the staircase. Sprung
from an oldi and respectable Massa
chusetts family, she was a singularly
beautiful, brilliant, dashing woman.
She had gone in early ..irlliood to the.
west and became enamored of the pic
turesque river captain, who did not see
fit to marry her and v. or.t off to Mexico
and opened his gambling house on the
Rio Orande.' Onedhy as he sat dealing
faro there his affianced' presented her
self. Disguised in a man's attire and
armed with t brace of pistols, she had
made her way without detection t.o the
Rio Grande. She-was a skilled' shot and'
could hit a dollar n cross a room, level
ing a pistol ;:f the recreant lover's head,
she said in a short, sharp voice: "farry
rne, or., lake this in your head!" The
astounded raptain replied: "Why,
Ollie, my dear, is th;:t you?" The mar
riage ceremony was performed that
day.
A BLACK CAT'S VISIT.
Fate of a Woman Who HelleveU It
Bronvbt Ofl l,ncl.
The black eat superstition certainly
has a strong hold. A si range birick cat
came to the residence of a .Troy fam
ily during the. present year, ai:d it was
occasionally fed by the kind-hearted
woman of the house. The eat, kept,
coming, says the Troy Press, and in
sisted upon domesticating itself, and
the woman laughingly remarked to her
friends that it was a sigii of good luck.
But she had no children, and did not.
want to be troubled- with'a cat. She
told her husband that be.- must get
rid of it.' They disiiked to kill the cat,
and finally decided to take it into the
country and drop it.
Bate one afternoon they put the
cat in a tag and drove about live miles,
when they untied the bag a 'id freed
the cat. after which they returned rap
idly. The woman died inside of half
an hour after reaching home, an ac
cident befalling her.
If it be good luck for a black cat
to come to one's house, it surely must
signify poor luck to fake or drive it
away. The woman was famil:.ar with
the omen, Tas.she had repeuiedly re
ferred to it. but probably nt'ver stopped
to consider that such a sign would
imply evil consequences if the harbin
ger of good was turned laway.t At all
events, she took the black cat away,
and was killed almost immediately
thereafter. While we take no stock
whatever in this popular superstition,
we know the facts-to be as stated.
A few days after the funeral the cat
came back. i
HE WAS REAL NICE.
This Teleorraph Clerk, and She Will
Patronize Him llxolaKlvcly.
She sailed into the telegraph office
and rapped on the receivingclerk's win
dow. The receiving clerk remem
bered that she had been there about
ten. minutes before as he came forward
to meet her. lie wondered what she
wanted this time, says the Cincinnati
Enquirer.
"Oh," she said, "let me have that tel
egram I wrote just now. I forgot some
thing very important. I wanled to un
derscore the words 'perfectly lovely' in
acknowledging the receipt of that
bracelet. Will it cost anything extsa?"
"No, ma'am," said the clerk, as he
handed her the message.
The young lady drew two heavy lines
beneath the words and said:
"It's -awfully good of yon, to let me.
do that. It will please Charliesomu'ch."
"Don't mention it," said the clerk.
"If you would like, ,1 will put a few
drops of nice violet extract on the tele
gram at the same rates."
"Oh, thank you, sir. You don't know
how much I would appreciate it. I'm
going to send all my telegrams through
this office, you are so obliging."
And the smile she gave him would
have done anyone good to have seen,
with the possible exception of Charlie.
. Orla-ln of the .Word '-noh."
"While turning over the leaves of the
eighth volume of the Sx)orti.:g Kaga.
ziue, published in 1790,". says a writer
in Notes and' Queries, "I have toae

stance of the word 'sncb. The con
text does not im?icn!e its raean?r:g, but
I apprehend there i i no doubt tfiat we

The writer is discoursing of races at
Whiteehurch. He says that 'there was
a very respectable field; and although
neither the duke of Queensbury, Lord
Egremont nor his royal highness the
prince of Wales were present, it be
ing a holiday time, a number of royal
snobs were. "
