wtitiw'll until he iH'tran to use soap,
when stiildeuly . a violent eruption
se':zd the apirently innocent geyser,
burling clothes and all into 11 air.
Th rxjtcriuient was tried on otHer
geysers with inrilar re.-ults. and fr
a time it was considered a great bless

rived, it was a gn-at convenirure 10

Xftrr a time, however, it as dis--veril
that this soaping was slowly
but surely harming the geyser action,
"tiring them out." in fact, and tluie

the use of soap in the park in connec

A MARKET EOU PEACHES.-II.
P. Thielseii. seretary of the Chani!er

In securing a new market for peaches
grown in this vicinity. The merchants
of Astoria have been securing their
supply of this fruit from other sec
tions until their attention' was called
to the Cue quality of peaches grown
here, by Mr. Thielseii. iu a letter to
theui recently. This resulted in nn
order by one merchant of twculy-live
Itoxeat a day from Alex. 1-a Pollen, of
Mission Itotfom. This is. of course,
only a bogianiug. .but the quality of
titese poaches will insure for them a

Italian hotel keepers recently met iu

Sid. "JIN l.i too every year, most of it to

The hotel men of Italy are following
the example of their Swiss brothers
in combining. It is a toss-up .which
class contains the largest liars. .If
Italy is sincere in wishing to ."attract
strangers the. government should take
a hand in the movement and whip
every lazy, -dirty In-ggar from the
streets. If should limit the iiuiiiIh f
of guides and license litem. It should
