The seizors by tbe state pore food
antboritiea in Seattle of a shipment of
several thousand tarkeya from Califor
nia, whioh were infeoted with a great
many more miorobes than tbe law al
lows, baa served to oall the general
attention to tbe faot that tbe Paoifio
Northwest does not begin to supply
Us own oitiea and towns and logging
oampa with poultry, egga and dairy
products. It seems strange indeed tba
the great states of Washington, Ore
gon and Idaho are unable to supply
tbe people of Seattle and other oitiea,
with their Thanksgiving turkeys. Yet
the facts of tbe seizure of spoiled
poultry in a cold storage warehouse in
Seattle illustrates olearly tbe faot that
the Northwest is not yet self-support
ing in some lines.
Oreson fir will be nsed for tbe deok
of tbe world's largest steamship, tbe
keel for wbioh bas been laid at Stet
tin, Germany. The ship Omega has
reaobed the harbor for the lomber re
quired, wbioh is 2,000,000, feet. Tbe
new liner will be operated between
America and Europe by tbe Hamburg
American line and will have a speed of
22 knots. She will be of 46,000 tons
gross register, with a length of 880
feet, beam 96 feet and will have ac
commodations for 6,000 passengers.
When a shipment of $807,000 in
gold came into tbe Seattle assay office
in one day from tbe Iditarod region of
Alaska, it was deoided that tbe great
nortblanrl has a new camp whioh will
prove as great as Fairbanks in tbe
next few years. Tbe new Iditarod re
gion is bung developed along perma
uent and business like lines and with
new discoveries being made monthly,
the produotion of gold in the new
camp will be at least Ave millions
next year, aooording to conservative
estimates by returning Alaskans. The
Northwest may well rejoioe over tbe
prosperity of Alaska, whioh is one of
our best and riobest markets.

All business moo want success but
not every one seoures it. Tbe man
who sits idly by bia shop door waiting
for a chance customer will never know
the joy of success, neither will he who
deolioes to acquaint tbe publio with
the character of the goods he keeps
on his shelves. rn these days of fierce
competition every business man must
keep abreast of his rivals in advertis
ing and other up to date methods if he
would spell tbe magic word suooess.
From tbe faot that this has been
one of tbe dirtiest, mud-slinging cam
paigns in tbe past twenty years, one ia
inclined to doubt whether o not the
direot primary law is a political
oleanser. One more "Live Wire"
campaign and the people will not oare
whether they exeroise tbeir franchise

Costa Rican Volcanoes.
Costa Rica has been subject to earth
quakes for many years. Part of the
republic is exceedingly mountainous.
and in this part of tbe country there
are more than a score of volcanoes,,
some of them dead, but a few tha t
break out periodically. There are
three or four that have been act'.ve
for more than a century. S'jme of
these are near San Jose, th'j cardial.
Costa Ricans have always believed that
earthquakes, which the country has ex
perienced ever since it Was first set
tled by Spanish adventurers, were
caused by the volcanoes. There is
good ground for this belief, because it
has been noticed that earthquakes of
moro or less intensity followed the ac
tivity of thesp. volcanoes. If the vol
canic eruptions we re violent the earth
quakes were correspondingly severe.

FOOLED HIM BADLY.
Now H. Kicks on L.tter. Written In
th. Third Person.
In one of the Paris restaurants a
party of literary men were discussing
the merits of various epistolary styles.
One of them, Monsieur A., made a
fierce attack on letters written In the
third person, such as "Monsieur X.
has the honor to Inform" and so on.
Another of the party defended them,
maintaining that they were not only
more ceremonious, but that they were
more polite.
"That's a good idea!" replied Mon
sieur A. "The foundation of all po
liteness in letter writing la to express
clearly what you mean to say. Now,
nothing can be more ambiguous than
these confounded notes in the third
person. I will just tell you what hap
pened to myself. I received from my
friend D., the chief of division, a billet
doux, which I will show you."
Taking the note from his pocket,
Monsieur A. read as follows:
"Monsieur D., chief of division at
the war office, hastens to inform his
friend, Monsieur A., that he has just
been named chevalier of the Legion of
Ilonor."
"You can fancy my delight at read
ing this note," continued Monsieur A.
"I was the happiest man in the world.
I ran to an engraver and ordered him
to make the flattering addition to my
cards, 'Monsieur A., Chevalier of the
Legion of Honor.' I ran to a mercer's
and bought a piece of the richest red
ribbon for my buttonhole. I ran to
the houses of my friends for the pleas
ure of receiving their congratulations.
At last I ran to my friend D.'s. As
soon as I catfght sight of him I threw
myself into his arms. Ah, my dear
fellow,' I exclaimed, 'you have no Idea
.what pleasure you have given. How
shall I ever thank you sufficiently T
"Tou are an excellent fellow, my
worthy A., to sympathize thus ;with
my happiness.'
' Thank you for that expression; the
decoration is mine, and the happiness
is yours.'
"How Is -that? Have you received
the order?'
" 'Certainly; have I not?'
" 'No, my good friend; 'tis I who am
now made chevalier.'
" 'You?'
" 'Yes. You deserve the honor more
than I do, but, nevertheless, it has
been conferred on me.'
" 'But you wrote me word that I had
received the cross.' I took his letter
out of my pocket and showed it him.
Alas! I now understood clearly what
meaning I ought to assign to the am
biguous phrase. 'The deuce take you
and your note,' I said to D. 'Instead
of your affected and formal announce
ment In the third person, why could
you not -write to me simply and plain
ly, "My dear friend, I have the pleas
ure of informing you that I now am
decore chevalier?" ' "
Quakers Never "Nervous."
It is not in mv memory that a pro
fessing Quaker ever came into my
hands to be treated for nervousness.
If the opinion I have already stated so
often is correct, namely, that want of
control of the emotions and the over
expression of the feelings are prime
causes of nervousness, then the fact
that discipline of the emotions is a les
son early and constantly taught by
Friends would help to account for the
infrequency of this disorder among
them and add emphasis to the belief
in such causation. From "elf Help
For Nervous Women," by Dr. Kearsley

A Remarkable Man.
John Zlska, the great Hussite leader
of the fifteenth century, was one of
the most reraarkable men that ever
lived. Ills life story reads like a ro
mance. Nothing in history is more In
teresting, more thrilling, than the ac
count of his heroic deeds. Though
blind and always greatly outnumbered,
Zlska Invariably beat his enemies and
established for himself a fame that
will last forever. He was never beaten
in a battle. His very name was a ter
ror to his enemies. He died In 1424,
while besieging Trazablslaw, at tha
age of sixty-four. New York Ameri

The -origin of the spoon is uncertain.
It must have been invented at a very
ancient date, for It is found among
people that have never come Into con
tact with civilization. The necessity
of having some Implement for dipping
water seems to have led first to tho
Invention of the calabash or the use
of tha cocoanut shell and later on to
the spoon.
