NATURE'S LAKE OF SOFT SOAP.
A Cnrlona Formation In the Far North
. wt Which Lathers at a Touch.
The Treat Northern Railway com
pany lately announced a rate of 60 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. Some
one has requested a rate on this com
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 that 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 tonr
sorial artist. When the hair is washed
in this wonderful native product the
head swells with lather till 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 the East side. It is a mile long
nnd proportionally broad. Do you
know that we are really ye in ignor
ance of what we have in this ountry?"
Local sonp people, when a ked to de
fine and tell about soap elusJ , were non
plused. Thev have i t up. Another
party said that not long ago he received
a curious product from Walla Walla, a
kind of sand mixed with, soap sub-
Rtances, from which it wa thought
soap could be probably mar here to
supply the washerwomen of tne 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.
THEY WORSHIP GIN BOTTLES.
Km Count African Think Them la
veiled with Divine Attribute.
What is the most remarkable monu
ment ever raised to the advance of civ
ilization in Africa? asks the New York
Journal.
A well-known African explorer, Jo
Beph Thomson, thought it was a mighty
pyramid of gin bottles. lie saw a great
grathering of Kru coast negroes en
gaged in worshiping this strange altar.
So strange was this incident that many
people would refuse to believe it. Mr.
Thomson, therefore, took a photograph
of the scene and brought it home to the
Iloyal Geographical society in London.
The Krus are the finest of West Af
rican races. They are, in fact, about
the only people in that part of the
world who will do any work. European
commerce is practically dependent
on them. To these noble savages gin
is the spirit of the white man's civiliza
tion in more senses than one. It repre
sents liia power, his philanthropy and
his religion. As soon as they tasted
gin they fell down and worshiped it.
The more they tasted the more they
fell down. After awhile they fell down
so much that the European govern
ments thought It might be a good thing
to restrict the circulation of gin. The
most remarkable fact of all is that the
contents of the gin bottles were im
bibed by one man, a native, whose over
powering thirst for the white man's
spirits eventually drove him mad. So
the bottles stand a monument to the
monumental drinker of darkest Africa.
HIGH BUILDINGS.
One Waa rianneil tur a Student Thirty
Year A no.
An old graduate of the Troy Poly
tocluiic itiKtitute was looking at the
high Neave building a few days ago,
reports the Cliiicinuutd Commercial Tri
bune, and said:
"That high building makes me think
of a graduate of my class who was n
mat el. Wc thought he was crazy, end
hii aiysturloua end only deepens the
conviction that our surmise was cor
rect, lie was everlastingly speculat
ing upon the seemingly improbable.
At one time he soid that the day would
come when they would build hoimea
100 stories high, and to show how it
would bo done he made a drawing of a
bridge, ua we called it, standing on end.
Then he said all you have to do to finish
the thing is to cut stones to fill the
spaces, put In the joists and rafti, and
there you are. And that was more than
30 years ngo, before the high buildings
had been thought of by any architect.
And the plans of the present are prac
tically the same as proposed by Fay
when he was but a boy. lie graduated,
and was looked upon as the brightest
man of the class, though everyone
thought him peculiar, lie went to the
west Colorado,. I think and disop
penred as mysteriously as if he had gone
to another planet. I think he was never
heard of at least I have never heard
of him from that day to this. SureJy
genius nnd madness are near allied."

KEEPING A HUSBAND.
Tact and Patience of the Wife Will Keep
Married Love From Waning.
"Every married woman, unless she has
been bo unfortunate as to marry a brute,
holds her happiness ondsr God in h"
own tmnd i, and the keepers of it rt
love nnd pntm'joe," says Mrs. Moses P
Handy in "A Talk With Young Wives "
in Wonutu's Home Companion. ''Nevm
reason with an BDgry man,' said tb
eastern sage. It does no good node'
any oiroamstanoes, and when the man
is yoar hasband it it worse than folly
What will it profit yon, even though yrm
have the best of the argument? There
fore, in everything, nnleea it be a matter
of conscience, it is generally better to
yield than to ooutend. Not that the
wife should be slavishly sabmieeive; no
man oan respect a woman who is Pok
ing iu self respect, and every married
woman has her rights. Bat the best
way in which to seonre these rights is
Dot sggrisive battle for them. Let
them be token as a matter of oonree,
taking for granted that yoar husband's
first wish is always for your oomfort, as
yonrs always is for bis. Never forget
that yoar interests are, or ought to be,
identical, and try to oonvince bim that
bis wife is bis best friend and safest con
fident. To tbat end never repeat any
thing which be tells you of bis own or
other people's affairs; and if be makes
disparaging remarks of anyone, keep
the knowledge Knotty to yourself.
Even the law osnnot oompel a woman
to bear testimony against her husband
she is a fool if she does so voluntarily
Let it be you chief objeot to please
your husband, and count nothing too
moon trouble to this end. It seems al
moat an Insult to orge neatness of per
son upon any eelf-respeotiog woman
yet there are many wives who oome abort
in this respect, who fall into the grievous
error of thinking that Jjhn doesn't
matter. John does matter more than
anyone else, and it is many times more
important tbat you should look well in
bis eyes than in those of all tbe rest of
the world. The task of keeping a bus
band is to tbe full as diffoult as tbe
winning of bim, and is far more necei
sary."

1 fiW'tH of Dipping; on Small Prunes.
Uoder the caption "Points on Prune
Dippitg" tbe obemio'i department of
the Oregon experiment sistion describes
some experiments wbioh seem to show
tbnt the smaller sizes of petite prunes
are not easily effected by tbe process of
lye dipping. In the experiment reporte
this held true even though the lye solu
tion was made atr igr than is usually
the oaee. When the eolation of ordinary
strength was used the fruit failed to
oheok and hen the stronger solution
was need Hese small prunes only
cracked deeply, or the ekio peeled off
badly, whiob was also tbe case when tbe
weaker solution was need and the time
of immersion was ioorsased. This fsot
serves to emphasize the neoessity of not
allowing the trees to overbear and tbns
produce under-sized fruit, or ot SAparai
tug puch fruit from tbe rest, and if to be
dried subjecting it to Ibe prioking pro
cess instead of dipping or it might be
made into secondary fruit produots. It
would also show that tbe process of lye
dipping has little to do with softening
the skin of trait as only tbe softer
skinned fruit cheoked, tbat which wss
toogb resisting the sotion of tbe lye so
far as proper oheckiug was concerned.
Tbe California station has also shown
that it is this small fruit whiob produoes
Ibe undesirable "froggy" condition of
the fruit. Tbi bulletin also disoosses
tbe various brands of oineentrated lye
found on the market in 1898 and pre
aents a table showing the relative
strength of tbe various brands caloolatsd

Feeding th Fire.
The most powertul engine moat stop if
the fires are not fed. Man is the most won
derful piece of machinery in the world, yet
no matter how strong and well-made bis
bodily frame may be, if the fire of life
within him is not constantly fed his limbs
and muscles become powerless and useless,
The reason meu become helpless and
diseased is because the food they eat,
which is the fuel of life, is not properly
digested and appropriated by the stomach
and nutritive organs. It is not completely
transformed into the strength and working
power which is to man what steam is to
the engine.
That wonderful power-making "Golden
Medical Discovery," invented by Dr. R. V.
Pierce, chief consulting physician of the
Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute, of
HulTitlo N. Y., tmbnes the human diges
tive juices and blood-making glands with
capacity lo extract abundant nourishment
from the food. It builds up organic tissue,
nerve tiber, hard muscular flesh and work
ing force. It gives a man steam .
What It did for Mr. P. S Hughes, of Junction,
Hunterdon Co., N. J., Is given In his own words.
He writes: "I received your kiud letter, sud
in reply would say that mine waa a bad case of
kidney and liver trouble, and that si bottles of
lr. l'irrce's CoUlrn Msdiral Piscovery and four
bottles nt little' Pellets' effected a complete cure.
