John Hanson t'ri, probably the

last Fridxy suffering frrin diabetes.
His sheer weight wns said to have been
750 pounds, but be said be weighed not
lonif ago over 900 pounds.
In apeakiug of himself recently Mr.
Craig gave the following interesting
historv :
"1 uow weigh 'u7 pounds, and am
now thirty-six years old. At birtb I
weighed eleven pounds, at eleven
months I w eighed seventy-seven pounds,
and at two years 206 pounds. At that
time I took $1,000 premium at Itanium's
baby show in New York City iu 1858.
At five years I weighed 302 pounds, at
twenty 651 pouods, at tweoty-two 725
pounds, at twenty-eight 794 pounds, at
thirty 836 pounds, with tbe present
weight of 907 pounds. I am six feet
five inobes high, mea ure eight feet tour
inches around the hips, eighteen inobes
around the ankles, twenty -nine inches
around tbe thigh next to the body, and
require forty one yards for a suit of
clothes and three pounds of yarn for a
pair of stookiiigs." -
Mr. Craig was twice married; bis
first wife was Mary Kesler, of this
oounty, who is suid weighed con
siderably more than be. She died a
number of years ago. He was again
married i bout twelve years ago and by
his last wife has a child three years old.
Tbe tuueral servioes were held Tues
day under the auspices of tbe Knights

Great Changes Made at Interstate Fair
Uruuiids in a Week.
From the Tacoma Ledger.
There is a lack oi lumber just now
at tbe Interstate fair grounds but some
big consignments will arrive in a few
days. In tbe meantime an inoreased
number of men are at work on the
grounds, building the luke and grading
roads.
"Yes," Bttirl one of the foremen yester
day guziug reflectively at tbe grounds,
"we're sort of washing the face of the
site and it looks cleaner now."
Tbe whole place looks much cleaner
i bun it did a week ago. When the water
is turned into tbe lake tbe latter part of
tbe week tbe appearance will be still
inviting.
Standing on tbe site of the forestry
building one can give a good idea ol tbe
beautiful scene that will be presented
August 15. In front is tbe little lake
with its indented shore line. To the
left rises the graceful structure of the
agricultural and horticultural building
while over-topping it are tbe splendid
outlines ot the main building. Tbe
frame of the first named ia completed,
the shingles are nearly all on and three
Uug poles surmount the curved front.
''It looks like a oiroua tent, don't it?"
commented one of tbe workmen.
Looking fur aoross the lake, over
beyond tbe ravine one sees, amid the
waving trees the site ot the mining
building while further down cleared
plaoes murk the sites of Ihe fisheries aud
tbe Indian buildings. Tbe line of tbe
winding liuvine park is indicated by tbe
douse musBes of foliage of various hues
aud the spreading tree tups.
Down in that delightful aud unique
park tbe .uth builders are again at
work and are improving the paths at
rendy onnstriioted. In places they have
to be broadened. While tbe park is
already one of great beauty aud interest
it will be infinitely more attractive dur
ing the Bummer evenings when the fair
is iu progress, wbeu glimmering eleotrio
lumps will light tbe way along tbe
uinzy putbs and throw deep bluck
ahudows uver pretty little rustic seats
"built fur two."
Fred It. Reed, one of the state com

the way tor snob work as he may do by
au editorial, as follows:
"We bear of no concentration ot ef

at the Interstate fair at Tacoma. Yet
it ia plain that tbe high bunuer district
ol the state, with us development jusl

'TWAS m UOOD story.
That la. When It Wn Applied to Some
Other Fellow.
The Texas congressman usually has
a shrewd perception of humor, re
marks the Washington Post. The del
egation has a corner on half the good
stories going, and can lay claim to sev
eral which have got away. A corre
spondent backed the dean of the dele
gation up in a corner the other day
and told the following tale:
"A friend of mine," said the corre
spondent, "came up from Texas when
the session opened, and as he expected
to be here some time he looked around
for a moderate-priced room, which he
located in a nice neighborhood. A
motherly old rady showed him the
room, which pleased him very much
As he was about to leave the room ihe
asked him where he was from.
" 'From Texas, madam.'
" 'Well, let me show you how this
gas works. You turn it on so, and put
a match to it, so; when you get through
turn it off, so.'
" 'But I understand all about gas.
We have it at home.'
" 'Yes, but I have had a good deal of
trouble with Texans about gas, and it
doesn't do any harm to show you Turn
it on so, and turn it off this way.
Don't try to blow it out.'
" 'But, madam,' protested my friend,
'you needn't go to all that trouble. If it
will relieve your mind any, I lived in
Chicago for six months before coming
here.'
" 'You did, eh? Well, I want you to
understand that this is a respectable
house, and I won't have any poker
playing or drinking and carousing up
here.' "
"Haw, haw!" laughed the congress
man, "that Is one of the best stories I
ever heard," and his sides shook with
laughter.
"But," said the correspondent, "the
boys are sending that story out to-night
and saying that you are the Texan."
"The deuce you say. Well, that Is a
pretty low-down sort of a yarn to spin
on anybody," grumbled the congress
man.
AN ANCIENT PEOPLE.
KelJcs of a Prehistoric Kace Found In
Russian Kxcavations.
The Hermitage is a fatuous building
in St. Petersburg, in which the relics
of Peter the Great are preserved. In
it there is also kept what is called the
Kertch collection.
Six centuries before Christ, the
Greeds founded colonies on the shores
of the Black sea. They united with
the native Scythians, and Scythian
rulers were generally placed over the
colonies.
Outside the gates of the modern
town of Kertch there are rows of
tombs and mounds. In the year 1830,
the Russian government began to care
fully examine these tombs, the objects
found there remains of the ancient
colonies being taken to St. Peters
burg and placed in the hermitage.
In 1831, a mound was opened called
by the Tartars "The Hillock of the
Brave," and in a room of hewn stone
the remains of a Scythian king were
found, together with those of his wife,
his war horse and servant. His gold
en crown and ornaments were there
untouched.
Even the sarcophagus of carved cy
press wood, in which his body was laid,
remains undecayed, and the carving
and gilt figures upon It are still sharp
and beautiful.
It seems incredible that a substance
so frail should have endured for more
than two thousand years uninjured.
The gold burs of his shield, tho sil
ver staves of his heralds, the collar of
twisted gold wire, are to be seen, be
sides many other articles found in his
tomb, although a large number were
stolen at the time of the discovery.
But still more interesting and beau
tiful were the contents of a tomb dis
covered in 1HG(I, of a priestess of Ceres,
with all her rich ornaments, and these
were all preserved.
Most exquisite they arc. Tho gold
chains, buttons, bracelets, necklaces,
equal the best workmanship of Venice
or Florence at the present day. The
golden plates from her head-dreBS are
pf rcspousse work of perfect beauty.
AN ODD TIMEPIECE.
Tha Chariot Clock of tho Kmperor of
of the most wonderful time
keepers known to the horologist was
made in London about one hundred
years ago and sent by the president of
the East India company as a gift to
the emperor of China. The case, stfys
the New Orleans Times-Democrat, was
made in the form of a chariot, in
which was seated the figure of a wom
an. This figure was of pure ivory and
gold and sat with her right hand rest
ing upon a tiny clock fastened to the
side of the vehicle. A part of the
wheels which kept track of the flight
of time were hidden in the body of a
tiny bird, which had Beciningly just
alighted upon the lady's finger. Above
was a canopy so arranged as to conceal
a silver bell.. This bell was fitted with
a miniature hammer of the same met al,
and, although it appeared to have no
connection with the clock, regularly
Rtruck the hours, and could be made
to repeat by touching a diamond but
ton on the lady's bodice. In the char
iot at the ivory lady's feet there was a
golden figure of a dog, and above and
in front were two birds, apparently
flying before the chariot. This beau
tiful ornament was made almost en
tirely of gold and was elaborately
decorated with precious stones.
A Queer Chinese Superstition.
The Chinese have a remarkable su
perstition about the Chu river, which
is tho local name on the border for tho
Chiating. A considerable trade iu
drugs is borne along this river, for
which a special class of boats, com
posed of very light boards fastened
with wooden nails, is built. The na
tives say that 'he magnetic attraction
of the bed of the river is so strong that
were ordinary Iwats used the iron nails
would be pulled out. Along the river
banks iron is mined in primitive fash
ion, and from the geological evidence
it ia believed that the ore is very rich.
Treasofa tnatalnad by Hirers,
A veteran submarine diver, in relat
ing some anecdotes concerning the
bottom of the sea and its inhabitants,
gives some interesting figures as to the
amount of pressure the body of the
diver is subjected to. At a depth of
only one hundred feet the pressure ia
forty-four pounds to each square inoh
of the diver's surface. The ordinary
human frame has ntiout twelve so,u:iro
feet of surfuco, which would make the
pressure at the depth mentioned above
not less than thirty-eight tons. Thia
enormous weight is not all pressing
downward, but inwards from all direc
tions.

' VISITORS AT WASHINGTON.
Bow Strangers Pour Into tha National
Capital From Everywhere.
The national capital is the Mecca of
sight-seers and they flock in hundreds
to this city at all times of the year,
says a writer in the Brooklyn Eagle.
They come Bingly, in couples and
squads of from a dozen to a hundred.
They are from all sections of the coun
try and represent all classes of socie
ty. The spoony nertvly married
couple, the well-to-do farmer who has
harvested his crops and is enjoying the
fruits of his summer's labor, and ex
cursionists from different parts of the
country journey to Washington with
the convening of each congress. They
take in the old historical houses, gov
ernment buildings and monuments
and visit the home of Washington and
the Arlington cemetery. But by far
the most interesting object to them if.
the capitol building. Here they de
vote the most of their time and atten
tion and roam at will through the ro
tunda, statuary hall and into the gal
leries of the house and senate. Their
chief delight, however, is to go upon
the floor of the senate and sit in the
seats that were occupied by the illus
trious Clay, Webster, Benton and oth
er renowned orators long since num
bered among the great majority, and
to recline for a moment of bliss in the
vice president's chair. A majority of
these visitors seem possessed with a
mania for collecting Bouvenirs, and are
ever on the lookout for something to
carry away as a memento. Not an ob
ject that is portable escapes their dep
redating hands; they Clip tassels from
the costly damask portieres; chip bits
of marble from the walls and pillars;
take knobs from doors, and one fiend
a short time ago had the audacity to
cut a piece as large as the crown of a
hat from the center of the twelve hundred-dollar
Smyrna rug that covers the
floor of the marble room of the sen
ate. Anything in the way of pens,
pencils and even inkstands that is
found upon the desks of the senators is
regarded as common property and as
such are appropriated by the rapacious
relic hunters.
MASCULINE AFFECTATIONS.
Tha Idiotic Star, tha Walking; Stick, Evening-
Tie and Nonchalance.
It is said on excellent authority that
the idiotic stare is still in favor among
the exotic youth of swelldom, and any
fashionable young man who cannot
learn how to abstract every atom of
expression from the countenance and
look on vacancy with an expression xt
imbecility, cannot belong to the select
coterie or hold rank in the inner cir
cles. There are other important matters
which must be carefully committed if
one desires to be in the van of fashion.
The first of these relates to tho walk
ing stick, and this involves perhaps the
most serious responsibility. For the
stick must be left at hdme when going
to business, to church, or to make
calls. The reason of the latter by-law
is that in the language of the stick, to
call upon a young ladv whil carrying
a cane, Implies that the caller is on
sufficiently intimate terms to look in
on her casually any time. What finer
subtlety than this is to be found in the
intricacies of feminine etiquette!
Then there is a fixed aud immutable
lawgoverning the carrying of thecane.
The correct style is to hold it at an
angle of forty-five degrees, with the
ferrule uppermost and forward. Of
course, this is the sort of thing no man
could possibly discover for himself, for
the unsophisticated would naturally
carry his stick with the point to the
ground and in so doing stand revealed
as unitiated in the supreme refinement
of etiquette.
No man with a particle of self-respect
would wear a made-up evening
tie, aud as some men find it quite im
possible to learn to tie the bow them
selves there has sprung up a new in
dustry for women. A young woman in
London has taken up the unique call
ing of going from house to house tying
the neckgear of distraught bachelors
who cannot do it for themselves. . The
custom will probably be introduced on
this side along with the other English
quirks. Let no man in his conoeit as
sume that when Pandora opened her
casket women monopolized all the
vanity.
Besides it Isn't good form to be so
critical. A nonchalant benevolence,
superior and patronising, is the latest
mode, and it is not good form to be
cauatio or pessimistic any mors.
Tattooing CtUlsed.
A French physician, who has found
that the majority of deaths upon the
battlefield arise from the bleeding to
death ot the wounded while waiting
for the surgeon, proposes that each sol
dier in the French army shall be
taught where the arteries of his body
are and how to arrest hemorrhages
from them. In doing this he has found
a use for (hat most useless of arts
tattooing; a small figure ot some kind
being tattooed over each artery, so
J that the soldier can at once see where
to arniv ine iifature.

FOR INVENTIONS.
Equal with the interest of those having claims against the government is
that of INVENTORS, who often lose the benefit of valuable inventions because
I of the incompetency or inattention of the attorneys employed to obtain their
j patents. Too much care cannot be exercised in employing competent and reli
i able solicitors to procure patents, for the value of a patent depends greatly, if not
I entirely, upon the care and skill of the attorney.
With the view of protecting inventors from worthless or careless attorneys,
' and of seeing that inventions are well protected by valid patents, we have re
tainea counsel expert in patent practice, ana therelore are prepared to
Obtain Patents In the United States and all Foreign Countries, Conduct In
terferences, Make Special Examinations, Prosecute Rejected Cases,
Register Trade-Marks and Copyrights, Render Opinions as to
Scope and Validity of Patents, Prosecute and
Defend Infringement Suits, Etc., Etc.
If you have an invention on hand send a sketch or photograph thereof, to
gether with a brief description of the important features, and you will be at once
advised as to the best course tt- pursue. Models are seldom necessary. If
others are infringing on your right9, or if you are charged with infringement by
others, submit the matter to us for a reliable OPINION before acting on the
matter.
