Since the sawmills are obliged to pay for saw-logs cut on government lands by third parties, the question now arises are unearned railroad lands to be considered as government lands? "How to live on seventy-five cents a week" is the latest work on domestic economy, but jts author ought to know better than to send a newspaper office a circular announc ing its value. It is unnecessary. Yesterday morning Aaron Church who has been working at Marsh's log ging camp was brought down to St. Mary's hospital by Ned Black. Whilo at work Mr. Church cut his left foot badly, severing two toes and lay ing bare the tendon. The wound was bound up and last evening he was resting easy. Jos.

At 10 o'clock yesterday morning the Mississippi or more properly speaking, what is left of her slid off the sand beach where she had been towed by the Golidh, into much deep er water. Her stern now lies in at least ten fathoms, and at high tide at least seven-tenths of the entire wreck is submerged. It is probable she will Iib there nntil sho is blown up, as nothing short of an earthquake couid start her again. Seattle Chronicle 1 6th. Card.

Abbott, in a recent number of Science, tells the following story of some pike ho had gone in search of minnows, but were cut off by a gill net. "The first pike was caught in the meshes of the net. Straightway the others stopped as suddenly as they had started, and recognizing their fellow in trouble, took in the situation at once. Each pike evidently realized the true con dition of affairs, and reasoned thus: That pike tried to go through this ob stacle in the water and is in trouble; it is necessary for me to avoid it by some means. There was five of these fish that paused close to the net, and each acted, I believe, as it thought best. One of them came to the sur face, and, cfter a moment's pause, turned upon one side and leaped over the cork-line. Seeing the success of this effort on the part of one, a second did the same. A third came to the shore near where I stood, and, dis covering a narrow space between the brail and the net, passed very slowly through, as thoagh feeling its wa The others were either more timid or less cunning. They turned to go up Btream, but being met by my companiou, who was making a great noise by whipping tho water, they rushed again towards the net, but checked their course when their noses touched the fatal net. Prompt action was necessary. They had not confidence in their leaping-powers; and both, ns though struck with the same thought at the same moment, sank suddenly to the bottom of the stream, and burrowed icto tho sand and beneath the load-line, which was in full view. In a moment they re appeared on tho other side of the net and were gono." One Kind of "Journalism." Tho following conies by way of San Franci8co:j' 'About threo weeks ago an article appeared in the Polaris, charg ing C. H. Morris, chief engineer of the Oregon and California railroad, and some contractors, with crooked con duct in expenditures on tho new con struction work. An investigation shows that there was no foundation whatever for tho article. The pub lishers say they were paid $500 to print tho article and would not give ;he author's name unless paid a simi lar sum. Morris said ho would rather throw the money into the river, but will spend twice that to discover tho real author. The publishers will be arrested and brought before the grand Jury on a charge of criminal libel and will doubtless bo forced to disclose the guilty one. It is strongly suspected that a rich floseburg merchant, who could not do things as he pleased along the line of construction, is the author of the slander. The right-of-way agent, Sol Abrahams, and others have been discharged from the rail road company, presumably on account of their connection with the libel." Valuable Pet At Kalama a shrewd Englishman has a pet seal, which he always places in a box near tho wharf so that pas sengers from Tacoma may seo it, ap parently suffering from close confin inent, and longing for its homo in the water. Yesterday a party of six good natured commercial travelers, taking pity on the animal,bought it for $2.50, and when the boat started for Port land, threw it overboard, repaid for their outlay in the approval of their consciences. They had '.'.ought liber ty for a dumb creature at tho rate of 42 cents per capita. But before the boat had reached tho middle of the river the seal had swam back to tho dock, and was lying peacefully in tho bosom of his master. When that sextette of drummers were informed by the captain that tho Englishman practiced the little racket every day, that the seal was a pet, and that re ceipts averaged $4 a day, they asked the captain to tako his boat back to Kalama so they oould throw the man overboard.

"Uncle Jack," in the American Grocer, gives the following amusing and interesting answer to the abovo questien: "1 have heard numerous questions asked by all kinds of people, in and out of business, in reference to the above. What is ho ' How did he come to have this name given to him? or where did he get it from? and a, kost of others. These questions were usually addressed to a member of the trade, and he, as usual, failed to give any satisfactory answer. "Is it pos sible that you are a grooer, and not able to tell me how you came to have such a name?" said a bright-eyed young lady, of some seventeen sum mers, in my hearing. "Well" she continued after a brief pause, "'tis really funny." The member of the trade to whom this rather puzzling question was addressed considered himself n model grocer; yet, will all his knowledge of Oolong, Java, Rio, etc., he was unable to give tho re quired information. Of course he tried to define a grocer, but. the further he went with his explanation, the more perplexed and mixed he be came, until the young and beautiful tantalizer laughed outright, and, with a blush of pity on her fair ch'eek, turned on her heel and whispered slewly: "I'll call again in about a week, by which time you may be able to tell me why th y call you a grocer." The young man smiled, and grace fully bowed the young beauty out, being only too pleased with tho idea that he had a week to hunt up the reason why he wa3 called a grocer. I have no desire to see any of my readers in the plight I have described, and therefore I will briefly tell you all I know about it. The word grocer is derived from the old French word grossier, which word was originally derived from Latin, meaning one th.it sells only by tho great, or utters his commodities wholesale. In olden times a grocer was known by the name of Spicer. Two kinds existed even at this ago, those who sold wholesale were called grosser or en grossers, and the retail dealer, who is now a grocer, was then called a regrator. Thus it will be seen that none of these auswer the question thoroughly, for a grosser would just as well apply to a dry goods merchant, or a dealer in any kinds of wares whatever. The terra grocer appears to be of modern origin, and has been intro duced with tho object of describing a dealer in tea and sugar. This really was the reason why tho modem word grocer came to bo applied to the trade. Of course, since its first introduction, the trade has extended from tea and sugar to an almost endless variety -of food products. Tho modern grecer, therefore.bears no greater resemblance to the old original id;a than the elec tric light does to the old-fashioned "dip." This, my boys is all I kndw, and it may be of interest to some of ray new constituents." Steamer Days.
