FISH NOTES.
The Vendyssel Packing Company of
Chinook. Wash., Is In good shape for.
the coming season. The cold storage1
department has a capacity of 500 tierces

Salmon fishing on the Lower Columbia
ha been very slack during the past
week. The weather was cold and
stormy, which tends to hold back what
few fish are at the mouth of the river.
The fish caught are of fine quality, but
of smaller weight than at the opening
of the season. They average out 14
pounds each. Steclheads show some Im
provement In quality, but few are run
ning.. There are 10,000 men engaged In fishing
on the Great Lakes, and the total cap
ital Invested is 10,600,000. The number
Of vessels engaged Is 208, and of small

RELICS OF LONG AGO.
Geo. t. Hlmes, Secretary of the Oregon
Historical Society, returned Sunday from
a trip up In the Chumpoeg country. Where
he secured a valuable relic, found there
recently. It Is an Iron axhead,, resembling
somewhat a long bladed hatchet. It was
found about two feet underneath the sur
ra co of the ground. Nothing like the im
pllment has been dicovered before. It Is
supposed to have been used by people
who Inhabited this Coast long before the
white man's time here. Mr. Hlmes thinks
tt may have been brought from, the
Sandwich Islands. He wltl have a diagram
taken of the instrument and eend It over
there, for identification. Others are of tho
opinion that the ax wa used by. the In
dians for hewing out canoes.

which are offered in. enttre good faith.
Soma; time ,ago ' an earnest prohibitionist
came unawares 94 a Ion fisherman, who
happened , at the moment to be quietly
drinking something' from a black bottle.
He was so much scandaltaed by the sight
that at the prayer meeting that evening
h referred to; the incident a follows:
"O Lord .We ask thae to turn from
his evil ways tho poor besotted sinner I
seen this afternoon swigging rum from a
black- bottle against the peace and good
ofteF of the' state." It so Happened that
tho ulnner referred to war present at the
meeting,, ahd a the conclusion of the
prayer;; arose and offered the following
petition . "O ' Lord, thou knowest that
when the brother seen me I was not
drinking rum, as'l don't like it, but
Scotch whisky, "which the doctor ordered
me to take to keep away rheumatis, and
thine be the glory forever. Amen."

ha recently betrn exemplified In the case
of one of these -birds, which alighted In
the dooryard of Raneoirt R. Barnes of

derer, slipped a ring on one of Its legs
and tied a note to the ring, stating the
hour of its arrival snd departure from
Clyde, and requesting whoever, received
the pigeon, td notify him of the time
when received! Mr. Barnes permitted the
bird to continue its flight two hours later,
and a -tew days ago' received a letter from
Mrs, Hasel Cushman of Dalkhart, Tex.,
stating that the bird Jiad Just arrived,

Some Versatile .Trees.
The chestnut crop of Italy and Prance
Is worth more than 3,000,000 a year, and
over 1,600,000 people t subsist mainly on
chestnut-flour bread. Large areas ia
Spain and Turkey are covered with the
same tree, the weed of which is also
valuable. 80 In the south of Europe the
chestnut has claim to be considered the
most valuable tree. The same may be
said In Braill of the enmnbuba-palm,
which,'' If more widely cultivated, would
certainly rival the cocoa-palm in useful
ness. Its timber haa all the properties of
the dtfcoa-palm. From Its sap wines and
Vinegar are made. Its nut is a delicious
and wholesome substitute for coffee. The
fruit is ai'so" sef ul for feeding cattle.
The pulpi can be used as sago, and the
dried Pith, la a, capital substitute for cork.
Of Its straw, hat, broom,: baskets,, and
mats are &ade. Salt can also be extract
ed from carnahuba-leaves. Even the
roots of this marvelous tree are valuable.
A tonic and blood-purifying medicine Is
made from them.
Naming the Child.
Now, necessarily, when the new girl
baby arrived there was much discussion
among the members of the family as to
what her name should be.
"We will call her Weraldlna," " said the
fond mother.
"Why not call her 'Esmeralda' 7" asked
the first grandmother. "I saw that name
In a story once, and always wanted to
try It on a baby."
"Oh," murmured the second grand
mother, "that would never do... Let .us
call her 'Panchon.' "
"But don't you think 'Eltesaa' Is a
pretty name, and so odd, too?" put in one
of the aunts.
"Excuse me, ladles," ventured the poor
father, who sat near by, "but you seem
to forget that wo are trying to find a
name for a human being, and not for a
5-cent cigar." Baltimore American.

D0QS TOOK THE TROUSERS.
A naval officer who live In the row of
officer dwelling Jn Plusjilng avOnu
could hot find a certain pair of trousers
yesterday when He went "home" to dress
hurriedly for some ceremony.
"What's become of those dress trousers
of miner' ha called to. hi wife.
"The tailor brought them back and
we hung them out to air on the line."
The line was searched, but the trousers
were njjt discovered. Then the yard was
searched to see if they had blown away.
Then tint sentry on tho beat was called to
account, and swore that no one had en
tered or stolen the trousers.
Tho officer's two thoroughbred collies
were noticed at that critical point In the
tragedy to be frisking In glee Upon tne
greensward not far away. They were
making merry over a little piece of cloth
that looked like a naval blue. But the
doggies couldn't be. caught. Then some
one spied a fresh pile of dirt on the
lawn.
"Ha! hAl" the officer cried. '! have It.
Bring me a shovel."
'tne
beneath two feet of earth the remnants
of the officer's trousers were found safely
hidden away.
"Bless those dogs!" was all he said.t

SOME TIP8 ON EYE8.
Brown eyes are the weakest, while blue
eyes are the strongest. ' Upturned eyes
are typical of devotion; wide-open eye
are Indicative Of rashness. The Small eye
Is commonly supposed to portray cun
ning; while unsteady eyes, rapidly Jerk
ing from side to side, are an Indication of
an unsettled mind.
People of melancholic temperament
rarely have blue eyes, and the long,
sharp-cornered eye shows great discern
ment and penetration.
The eye Is to the physician what a bar
ometer is to the captain of a ship. It Is
one of the most important factors In de
termining disease or illness of almost any
nature. But the eye Is not alone an agent
to convey signs of ill-health; It also fore
tells the true character and disposition of
a person.
The proper distance between the eyes
Is the width of one eye, and eyes that
are pluced close together W th head are
snld to Indicate pettiness of 'disposition,
lenlousy and a turn to fault-finding.
When the upper lid covers half or more
of the' pupil, the indication is of a cool
deliberation, and an eye tne upper lid of
which passes horizontally across the pu
pil indicates great mental ability. This is
the scientific eye.
The white or the eye showing beneath
the Irla Indicates nobility of character;
but If the whole of the Iris Is visible the
possessor Is erratic, often with a tenden
cy toward insanity.
The worst eye of all Is the wide-open,
staring eye, protruding from a (weak
countenance. It indicates Jealousy, big
otry. Intolerance and pertlnacy without
firmness.
