OUR LITERARY CLUB.
We always like to meet with rs. Brown,
She has the cosisst home there is in town,
A "Homey " kind of home, you know, a
place
Where yon can sit and sort of test your
face.
I know of honsea gewgawd so with style.
That when yon enter you put on a smile
A sort of social shine, as yon might say,
So that you'll harmonize and be an fait.
But oh, how dreadful tired I should pet
If I should train forever with that set.
Ho, give tne Jttrs. Brown whose happy
guest
Can just lounge down and rest, and rest,
and rest.
Her rooms art low and broad, and quiet
green
That restful green, and all the pictures
lean
At comfortable angles, and yon chat
In low and cosey tones and there's a cat,
Of course a cat, that yawns there in the sun
A picture of content, like everyone.
Then Mrs. Brown brings out her dainty set
Of tea things, and we know that we shall
et
The very nicest, dearest cup of tea

Have all of ns been using it 'round town,

Presence ot Mind.
A visitor to an lusaue asylum was
walking In the grounds when a man
came up to hint and eutered luto con
versation. After walking about for
some lime, discussing topics suggested
by the place, the two set out on a tour
of Inspection, the man, apparently an
official, inviting the visitor to go over
the asylum. At length they reached
the foot of a flight of steps, op which
the guide led the way, and at the top
the visitor found himself out upon the
root a height of more than a hundred
feet from the ground. As they gazed
below his companion startled him sud
denly by proposing to see who could
jump farthest toward the grounds!
Not until then bud it dawned upon the
visitor that bis guide was mad. Mer
cifully he was a man of ready wit. and
his wit saved the madman's life. "Oh.
anybody can Jump down." said the vis
itor. "Let us go down and see who
can Jump to the top." The mad man
thought It a good Idea. and. retracing
their steps, the two began their Jump
from the earth Instead of from the
roof.
The Mammoth Cave Rat
The cavern rat found In the Mam
moth cave Is of a soft bluish color,
with white neck and feet It bus
enormous eyes, black as night, but
quite unprovided with an iris. These
eyes are perfectly Insensible to light,
and when the experiment has been
made of catching a cavern rat and
turning It loose In bright sunlight It
blunders about, striking itself against
everything. Is unable to provide Itself
witb food and Dually falls down and
dies. In Its native depths, however.
It la able to lead a comfortable enough
existence, as Its enormously long whisk
ers are so extremely sensitive that
they enable It to find Its way rapidly
through the darkness. The principal
food of the cavern rat consists of a
kind of large cricket of a pale yellow
color and. like most other cave dwell
ers. Itself perfectly blind.

LAUNCH "CHIEF
II
BOAT BELONGING TO WALLOWA
LAKE AMUSEMENT COMPANY
IS TOTAL LOSS.
The launch "Chief Joph,M the
larger of the two boats on Wallowa
lake, operated by the Wallowa
Lake Amusement company, was to
tally destroyed by fire Thursday
night last. The company carried
no Insurance on the craft. It Is un
derstood, and th loss Is a dead one
of $1600.
The Amusement company In suf
fering such a to'al lows at the very
outset of their enterprise have
enough to discourage them, but
it Is hoped by everv resident of the
county that they will not permit
discouragement to interfere wfch
their many plans for making the
lake the most popular summer resort
in the whole northwest. Moreover
the members of tlio compnny lmve
the assurance of the sympathy and
best wishes of the whole county.
Men who put their money Into an
enterprise that means the advertise
ment of and the welfare of a whole
county, and do so when they know
there can be no adequate returns
for two or -three years, are assur
edlv - titled to the warmest wtll
wishes of the people of that coun
ty. And in this begtnnng as hi all
others the old German proverb Is
pertinent, that "all beginnings are
difficult."
The Epieuraan Badgar.
The badger !a a wvm epicure In
eggs, and much or the humility of
gamekeeiwrs to this animal lies un
doubtedly In tbe fact that It will, when
It gets the cbauce, devour a whole
nest of partridge or pheasaut eggs
Badgers are said also to lie fond of
honey, and. knowing the extraordinary
craving of their South African cousin,
the ratel. for this, delicacy, 1 sbguld
aay It is not Improbable that they may
occasionally, partake of It, It Is certain
that these animals have a particular
liking for tbe ueRt and larvae of
wasps and wild bees, digging down
with strong feet and Infinite persever
ance till tbey attain tbelr object.
These animals are said by keepers to
kill and devour freely young rabbits.
That they do partake of tbis fnre at
times Is. I think, certain, but that tbey
destroy any very considerable numlHr
Is more than doubtful. Still, the badg
er Is carnivorous iu his tastes and Is
not, even by bis kindliest friends.. to
be absolved from devouring at 'times
tender rabbits and even the vouus of
game birds when he can get bold of
them. est miuster Gazette.
