It t very interesting to know what
colon are used or selected by the royal
families as being their very own. To
England, the only royal family of
modern times, which has selected it,
belongs scarlet, which is very effective.
The royal houses of Portugal, Prussia
Sweden and some of the German
prinoea wear bine. Russia chooses
dark green and Austria delights in black
and yellow. Most people imagine
scarlet was selected on acoount of the
red rose of the Plantagenet, bvit this is
not true. It was adopted from the field

Henry's adoption of the scarlet areas of

First Aetttal Ketumo for tta Twalfth
Ventat Give the StatUttoa of
.. tbe Frnlt Produced.
The first actual returns or statistics
lor the twelfth census are now coming
in. They relate to cranberry culture
and give the acreage, tenure, quantity
of fruit produced, cost of labor and fer
tilisers, area of new plantings, value of
crop and losses from disease, insects
and other natural causes for each bog
or plantation.
In January, 1900, preliminary sched
ules relating to the cranberry yield of
1899 were sent out to all the growers
whose names and addresses could be
obtained. The number of commercial
growers in the United States is over
J.000. They are found mainly in tiie
states of Massachusetts, New Jersey,
Maine, Connecticut, Michigan and
Wisconsin, but Minnesota, Oregon,
Rhode Island, Washington and New
York reported bogs. The number m
Michigan and Wisconsin is on the in
crease despite a temporary set-back by
forest -fires.
The growers are well organised, the
national association having its bead-
quarters at Trenton, New Jersey, and
local organisations existing in Massa
chusetts and possibly elsewhere.
Annual Pons Pom."
The Indians residing along the river
near Toppeni&h, a short distance from
North Yakima, Wash., are having their
annual "pom pom" dance. Numerous
tepees are used for this occason, and
the inmates spend the time in singing,
dancing, feasting and making merry.
They began last week, while the snow
was on the ground, to give a Chinook
danoe, as their ponies were getting
poor, and the indications were winter
had eet in, but a sudden change in the
temperature made also a change in
the dance programme, and the "pom
pom" or "grass dance" was instituted.
This peculiar dance is observed in the
same manner as Chinese new year, and
lasts a week or ten days. The Indians
array themselves in gorgeous costumes
and congregate at different tepees,
where a general feast is prepared. It
is the season for making new friends,
and old animosities are buried. The
tribe as a whole has ceased to observe
this sacred annual festival, the educat
ed members thinking it beneath their
notice, but the isolated members con
tinue to dance every spring when the
winter is over and grass begins to show
on .the range.
Chehalta Sawmill.
The Doercbecher Manufacturing
Company, of Chebalis, AVash., which
is preparing to move the furniture man
ufacturing business to Portland, Or.,
in the early spring, yesterday sold the
Chebalis buildings of the company to
the West brothers, of Cnehalis, who
are going to put a saw mill into tbe
buildings. The sale included all of
the buildings and the three dry kilns,
with the fans, etc., as well as tbe boil
ers of the main engine. The mill will
be put in just aa quick aa the furni
ture factory people move out, and the
mill engine will be used to furnish
power to run tbe city electric light
plant, Harry West being the city light
contractor.
Bale of Timber Land.
The Charles K. Spaulding Lumber
Company, of Newberg, Or., has closed

about the last large body of timber
tributary to the Willamette river not
previously bought up by corporations,
and this company is considered fortu
nate in being able to secure it.

Volume.
Brad street's reirew of trade sari:
General distribution of trade is of
fairly good volume, although affected
by weather conditions and holidays.
Spring business is enlarging at many
markets East and West, the presence
of buyers being encouraged by speoial
passenger rates. A softening of prices
of speculatively dealing staples is to be
noted, but the reactions art of narrow
extent.
Foreign demand for wheat remains
small, American, stock sure large, and
farmers are reported holding supplies
back, and crop-damage scares are dis
counted by mild weather. The
strength of corn has bees a feature, tor
eign demand being of good proportions,
and this has furnished a supporting
element in the wheat market.
There is a larger volume of business
in pig iron at some markets, but less
at others, and prices of that product
are quite steady.
Structural iron continues active, in.
dioating heavy building operations the
coming spring and summer. Foreign
iron markets retain all their old
strength, and lower ocean freight
would, it is argued, bring about a
great enlargement of our export trade.
Copper is quieter, but steady in price
and tin notes a further advance in sym
pathy with foreign speculation. Hard
ware is improving in distribution at
the West
Business failures for the week num
ber 163, as compared with 199 a week
ago, and 220 in 1899.
The strength of staple values is a
feature of Canadian trade. Retailers
will carry over some stocks of winter
clothing. Industrial activity is very
marked, Canadian factories running to
their fullest capacity, Bussinesa fail
ures for the week number 28, against
35 last week, and 89 in this week

The Agricultural Department has
constructed a new building at Wash
ington to be used solely for testing
seeds of all kinds, In order to afford pro
tection against dishonest dealers. He
cent tests gave remarkable results.

costing 85 cents a pound, was adulter
ated more than 70 per cent, wltb seed
worth only 10 cents a pound. Orchard

per cent. bad.
As Is well known, the soldier's risk
of death In battle Is not nearly as great
as of finding a grave as the result of
disease. The most competent authori
ties state that on tbe average it takes a
ton of shot to kill one man. For In
stance, It has been estimated that In the
Crimean war the British and French
troops fired between them the enor
mous amount of 43,000,000 projectiles,
resulting in tbe death of only 51.000
Russians, while on tbelr side tbe Csar'a
adherents killed some 40,000 ot the
allies, with an expenditure of over 60,
000,000 projectiles .this representing a
leath for every 1.087 shots fired.
After an experimental study of more
than five years at the psychological
laboratory of tbe Saltpetrlere, M. Vas
chlde baa concluded that the brain Is
always active, and there la no such
thing as dreamless sleep. II has
watched the sleep of thirty-six subjects
ranging in age from twelve months to
eighty years, and his own observations
have been checked by those of forty-six
other persons. He fiuds that tbe dreams
of deep sleep differ from the hallucina
tions that come at the moment of fall
ing asleep and that of waklug. Tbe
superficial sleep reflects more the sen
sations of every day, while the dreams
of deep sleep are more continuous, more
logical, fartber from reality, and have
more to do with one's earlier existence.
Geologists are of the opinion that tbe
vast territory now known aa Wyoming
once bad numerous fresb-water lake
and a climate approaching tbe semi
tropical, and that the animals whose
bones are from time to time coming to
light Inhabited these lakes and the ad
joining swamps In myriads. Tbey sank
Into the mud In dying, and their bones
were covered with other deposits and
became petrified. The Urge beds are
found at points supposed to bare been
the mouths of great rivers, tbe animals
after death having floated down these
rivers to places where they were de
posited In these estuaries, thus account
ing for tbe vast deposits which charac
terise certain localities and wblcb hart
proved such a study to scientific Inves
tigators. Prof. B. S. Woodworth describes In
Science a new movement for writers
with the pen which, be thinks,' has
decided advantages over older methods.
To write In the new manner, let the top
of the paper slant to the right Instead
of to the left The horizontal lines
across tbe paper can then be followed
by drawing tbe whole arm. In the direc
tion of the forearm, back toward the
flank. "Meanwhile Impart to tbe wrist
(and forearm) a back and forth lateral
motion which shall produce the vertical
strokes ot tbe letters." When this
method has been mastered, Prof. Wood-
worth says, "rapid writing Is freer and
more legible, showing no tendency to
degenerate into tbe flat scrawl" The
movement can also be taught, with rel
ative facility, to tbe left band.
AN ODD CASE.
It Wilt Linger Long In the Memory
of a. Hnrgeon.
"What was the strangest case I ever
bad V said one of the surgeons in at
tendance at the late conventionrepeat
ing tbe question of a reporter wltb
whom he was chatting. "Well, let me
see. I believe the oddest Incident of
my career occurred In but boldl on
second thought I don't care to give any
names or dates. Tbe facts. It yon like,
were these: I was called by messenger
to a cheap boarding bouse one evening
to attend a man who was said to have
been hurt In a fight. I found a young
fellow of 23 or thereabouts, half dazed,
with a bloody contusion on one of his
cheeks and a badly broken nose. Tbe
bridge was smsshed almost flat with
the face, and I saw at once that the
case would Deed very careful handling
to prevent great disfigurement. Not to
bother ' you with technical details, I
confined myself tbat night to a superfi
cial dressing, and deferred further pro
ceedings nntll next day. When I called
tbe following morning tbe young man
had quite recovered bis senses, and al
though his clothes were shabby and all
his surroundings poor and 1 mean, It
was evident from bis bands, talk and
bearing tbat he bad iiever done any
bard work and was a person of educa
tion and refinement I took him for
the black sheep of some good family,
but made no comments, and explained
briefly tbat 1 would try to restore his
nose as far as possible by performing
a slight operation and inserting aa arti
ficial support To my astonishment be
objected flatly, and Insisted on letting
It heal exactly as It was. 'But you wilt
be frightfully disfigured I protested;
'1 doubt If your best friends would rec
ognize you.' Strange to say, that as
surance seemed to render blm only tbe
firmer, and I was compelled to let blm
bave bis way. It was nearly three
weeks before he wss well, and, as 1 an
ticipated, he looked exactly like some
battered bruiser of tbe prize ring. 1
never saw tbe man again, but sis
months later I was shown tbe photo
graph of a handsome young chap who
was badly wanted for a big embezzle
ment I put my finger over tbe nose
and recognized my late patient He
bad walked aboard ship right under
tbe eyes of tbe detectives and sailed
for tbe Argentine Republic. They bad
his photo, but never dreamed of con
necting It with tbe caved-ln counte

CAMEO CARVINa
Brier Description of the Toots and the
Metaod Katuloyed.
All tbe tools used by the cameo
carver would make but handful. Tbe
worker sits before a wbeel turned by a
pedal; tools occupy a small corner ot
the table surface on which the work
er's hands rest while be holds tbe
ahaped stone or shell beueath the
needle-like drill. Tbe little pointed In
struments which are used to drill re
semble those employed by a dentist,
and, Indeed, It was from the cnuieo
carver's kit that the dentists got ninny
of tbelr Ideas when tbe tools uow la
use by them came to be manufactured,
thirty years ago. The drills vary In
thlcknesa according to tho portion of
the figure or design to be executed;
some are as fine as the point of a cam
bric needle. A small china receptnble
also stands near, filled wltb oil aud dia
mond dust, and Into this the workman
frequently dips his tool during tbe
progress of his work. Tbe caiueo cut
ter's occupation Is very exacting. He
can put in only a few hours' work at
a time as a usual thing, because of the
tension on his nerves. A quavering
hand may be resiwnslble for the single
stroke which will spoil a wevk's work.
He must have an eye almost like a
microscope, and a very delicate touch;
he must be an artist In soul and ns
skilled a craftsman as la a watch
maker; be must kuow how to model
and draw, and be must bave a knowl
edge of chemistry, so as to remove
offending spots. The work Is executed
In relief, on many kinds of hard or
precious stones, bat essentially tbe
chalcedonlc variety of quarts, and on
shelli. Tbe cameo cutter himself pre
fers onyx because of Its dark and light
layers, which throw out in hold relief
a wbtte head. say. against a black
background. He evolves his picture by
removing all that portion of the white
stratum remaining after the bend has
been completed. Sapphire blocks are
used, cnrnellan, turquoise, , amethyst
and numerous other stones. It takes
about one month to execute a portrait
on onyx, while much less time Is con
sumed It the work la done on shell.
There la always great danger of the
latter breaking; and Its durability, too.
Is not great, so that shell, as a rule, Is
not aa desirable as the harder materials.
A portrait on onyx will cost (200, while
one In shell may be had for (30. The
Inquiries for these are rare, aud build
ing up a patronage la slow, and Is ac
complished mainly by satisfied custom

PERSIAN RUQS OF IRISH MAKE.
Deft Weavers of the Old 8a4 Turn On
a Perfect Imitation.
Just a year ago some manufacturers
of artistic textiles touring In Donegal
resolved on establishing a place for tbe
making of band-tufted carpets of the
description generally known as "Turk

this fabric la tbat from Its nature It
must be a hand production. Tbe tufts
are tied by tbe fingers In knots In longi

tween two long parallel beams! The
carpets are made to the size and ahapo

by "shoots" of woolen weft drawn
across tbe entire width and beaten firm
by small Iron-toothed hammers. There
Is Interesting variety and pleasure In
the work, and It Is such that Individual
skill and workmanship come largely
into play. Altogether, It Is just such an
industry as Is suited to tbe rural dis
tricts of Ireland. No steam power Is

A man came to St Louis from Texas
not long ago to see the sights. He bad
wltb blm nearly four thouaand dollars.
among wblcb were three one thousand
dollar notes. Having no friends In the
city, and being fearful of banks, be bid
these big bills very securely, as be
thought by pasting them on tbe Insldo
of his shirt bosom. After carousing for
about a week be took bis undergar
ments to a laundry, and three days
later discovered at tbe same time that
tbe bills were still on tbe shirt and
tbat be bad forgotten where the laun
dry was. In bla despair be left tbe
city and returned to St Louis, and
wben be took bis clothes to a laundry
the proprietor recognized him and said:
"I have something here that belongs
to you." Wben tbe careless fellow saw
bis thousand-dollar bills again he al
most fainted from joy. Now be keeps
bis surplus wealth In a bank.
