With the intention of immediately working their rich placer deposits in the; bed of the Fraser river, the Virginia Dredging company, a Bellingham corporation, is making extensive preparations to put their 875,000 dredger in working order. ���������MThe dredger turned turtle--last^Koveinbcr daring-- a\" freshet on its anchorage ground at Yale. It was carried down the stream eight miles, and is now three miles above Hope, securely fastened, but upside down. It was a' strange stroke of fate that upturned the dredger. - The Bellingham men had purchased the property in September and their ground was being' worked with great profit when the winter freshet'came, the headline broke, tho \"works\", drifted off, water in some way leaked into one of the pontoons, and the co.-tly accident occurred.

The dredger was built two years ago by a New England company known as the Yal* Dredging Syndicate. It, is constructed on pontoons, is 105 feet long and 34 feet beam.

Douglas, Alaska, has just emerged from a three months' water famine which was caused by a tight freeze-up early.in January when the $500,000 water plant ol the -Treadwell company went out of business owing to the excessive cold weather. One of the amusing features of the famine was tho formation of a club of Douglas businessmen which instituted a system of fines for the extravagant use of water. For taking a drink of water a member was fined 12-J cents; for washing his hands aud face, two bits ; for washing his feet, four bits ; and for taking a bath he was sentenced to banishmont from the island. It is stated that thero was not a fine imposed during, the entire three months the famine lasted. Wln-n you hear a man- sneering at the local paper liecau'-e it is not as big, cheap and newsy as the city papers, you ran safely bet that he does not squander any of his wealih in assisting to make it better, and that generally the paper has done more for him than he has for it.

[Copyright, 1909, by T. C. McClure.J [HERE was a grim look on Mr. Bowser's face as he came home from the otlice, and, like a good wife and thinking something might have gone wrong at the otlice, Mrs. Bowser chatted away and pretended not to notice it. At the dinner table he was morose and sullen,- answering only in monosyllables, and she drew a long breath as the meal was ended and braced herself for the conllict to come. When a husband kisses Ids wife good by and calls her ���������loario on leaving home In the morning and comes home ten hours later like an old hear that has tumbled out of a iree it is a matter for investigation. Mrs. Bowser didn't delay on reaching the silting room, but turned and linked: \"Well, what great and unforgivable crime have I committed now?\" -Woman, have 1 the privilege of addressing a few words to you?\" stiffly inquired old bruin. r ������������������Certainly.\" \"Then let me say that as I got off the car at lhe corner I saw a woman SHB THREW UP HEK ARSIS AND FELL DOWN. fall dead on the sidewalk. She was poorly dressed, and oue look at her pale, sad face told the whole story. .She died.of starvation and exposure. I don't suppose she had liad a mouthful to eat for four or five days. She was just about to address me, having read kindliness and pity in my face, when she threw up her hands and sunk down.\" ���������'Poor woman!'' sighed Mrs. Bowser. ���������'Yes, poor woman, but I want to know if she had been here at the door asking for food and if you turned her a way.\" \"There was one here about an hour ago. It might have been thc one you saw at the corner.\" \"And you slammed the door in her face and threatened her with the police.\"' \"She had been drinking. I could smell liquor on her breath. And she didn't ask for food, but for money. I told her I had none for Uev.\" \"And drove her to her death! Woman, you must have a heart like a winter's cobblestone! Turned a starving, despondent woman away .to her death!\" \"But I had no money,\" protested 'Mrs. Bowser. \"I couldn't have scratched up as much as a dime in the house. I have told you over and over that if you want me to give money to 'these vagrants you must leave some change . with me.\" Hard Hearted Mrs. Bowser. \"And that is only half my story,\" said Mr. Bowser as he ignored the change question. \"As I reached the gate a man was just coming out. lie had been to the basement door to ask for food. He had been turned away, the same as the woman. The look of despair on his face will haunt mo to my dying day. Did the cook tell you anything about it?\" ���������'Yes. She called me down. It was a li'iimp who wanted old clothes. I had none for him. He didn't say a word about food. 1 don't know why his face should have worn a look of despair, lie looked fairly comfortable and well fed. As T had no old clothes for him, lie was turned away.\" \"Xo old clothes! Why, woman, I have at least three old suits around the house.\" \"But you have told me not to give any of your garments away unless you were here,\"You said that the follows often took them to the secondhand stores and sold them for u trifle.\" \"Never, never, never! I have nlwuys told you to relieve distress at once. You have murdered a woman nnd driven a man to dcsperatlon.'andheiiv- j en will surely punish you for it.\" j \"Well, I'll take all future comers In \\ to board and clothe.\" \"It is no use to talk to you,\" said Mr. Bowser ns ho turned nwny. \"Nature planted a chunk of Ice In your ��������� breast Instead of a. heart, and It can't be chnnged. The only thing I can do in this case Is to go to thc drug store lind And out nil I can nbout the poor dend womnn and see thnt sho nt least has n decent burial. If she has left jny children beblnil I will rescue them ���������'roni starvation,\" Mrs. Bowser had nothing to say to this, though n queer look passed between her mid thc family cat, and ten minutes later the druggist was being questioned. Yes, he knew tho wo- iniin by nnme, and he knew where she lived. Her body hnd gone home. He couldn't sny ns to the children. He agreed that It was a very sad thing, und he thought It very commendable of Mr. Bowser to bo Interested. He said nil this nnd considerably more, but there wns it half smile on his face ns he said It. When he asked Mr. Bowser If Airs. Bowser was In aym- pathy with his mission, and was answered that sho didn't care a rap If half the towu died of hunger that half smile turned into a grim thnt irrlliiied aud annoyed. Mr, Bowser had only a few blocks to walk. He looked for a crowd around i the house, but no wails smote his I ear. The door was opened to him by a woman weighing 200 pounds and of liberal breadth of body and arms like a blacksmith, and he felt n bit abashed as he put the inquiry: \"Wasn woman brought here dend about an hour ago?\" \"What sort of guff Is this?\" was the reply, delivered in a voice as hoarse as the bellow of a bull. \"Over on the corner of Stale and Chestnut streets a woman dropped dead of starvation this evening. I was told that her dead body was brought here. Did she leave any children '!\" ..< \"Aud who nre you?\"' \"My name is Bowser.\" \"It ought to be Tom Fool! If you : are up to any gum game, old man, i don't try it on here.

She j was poorly dressed and under the influence of drink. She was the woman Mr. Bowser had seen drop dead. \"Did you see thc circus on the corner?\" she asked, with a grin. \"I saw you drop dead, as I supposed.\" i \"Pretty good, wasn't it? I didn't die, j you see, but simply threw a fit to get ��������� a drink of brandy from tbe druggist.\" [ \"And you���������you weren't hungry\" asked i Mr. Bowser. i ! Laughed at Him. '. Both women laughed loud and long. I \"And you haven't got any starving ; children?\" They both laughed again, and then the 200 pound woman opened the door and said: \"Shoo, old \"gander! Chase yourself!\" Mr. Bowser looked around for something to murder, but the street was deserted \"by all save a dog, and the canine took to its heels at once. lie headed for home, going u oiock out of I his way to avoid the drug store, and at the gate he encountered a man with a big bundle under his arm.

Two and one-half yards Is a very good measure for general use, a very convenient size for a,small company requiring nn extra leaf. Three and one-half yards are required for an extended .tabic, to drape over the ends and correspond with the sides. In hemming tablecloths n double hemstitch nbove an inch and a' half wide'hem makes a very fine finish. The ends must be cut by the thread to make the-hem true. With napkins to correspond and finished in the same way this makes a very fine table set If the linen is fine nnd heavy, with a pretty pattern. If the hemstitch is thought to be too elaborate, the-so called ��������� French hem ot tlie ends does very nicely. Turning a half inch hem neatly and folding back, sew a fine over and over stitch. The care of table linen Is of greal Importance If one would have tho table arrayed nt Its best. There niust be a pure white cloth without blemish or\"wrInklo, wllh sniiny finish and with as few folds ns possible. A very good wny to wash napkins nnd tablecloths for this effect Is 'to first pour slowly a stream of boiling water over stains and then let them soak In a good suds ���������nindu with white laundry soap for nn hour, then lightly rub out nnd just scald in clear soft water, rinse in n light bluing water and during the whole process wring by hand Instead of by, wringer to avoid the wrinkles thnt nre so hard to press out. Do not starch; stretch evenly and hang straight on the line to dry. In ironing the-linen must bo evenly nnd very well dampened.

Fold together sidewise once more and press both sides carefully, then fold .lengthwise as little as possible to lay In your sideboard drawer for linen To avoid the least folds some get boards, such as are used for dress goods, and wind their long tablecloths smoothly over them, giving them the appearance of new linen, says the Housekeeper. \"Have your poems been road by ��������� many people ?\" j \"Certainly��������� about twenty publish-; ���������ers that I know of.\" ��������� Fliegendi; Blaetter.

Homemade Lamp Shades. Charmingly dainty lamp shades may be made at small expense if a girl has any knowledge of working with water colors. Even with tracing paper and a pencil decidedly pretty Japanese effects may be secured. For a foundation wire frames of various shapes can be purchased, but if stiff paper is lo be used as a covering the simple, straight shades are best. When covering either frame, at the top should be tacked a piece of asbestus that is at least two Inches deep. This will entirely prevent the paper from burning. If the paper\" is to be painted the easiest method will be to cut a pattern and lay this on rough white water color paper. When the exact size has been determined tlie stiff paper should be neatly pasted at (he two edges and held In place over the frame until it has \"set:\" White cotton thread and a few stitches are the easiest and firmest way of attaching it to the frame at top and bottom. This done, the background is ready for decoration. What this shall be depends upon the individual skill or desire. Medallions, heads set Into little backgrounds of color and framed with fine lines of gilt and silver, are always charming. The frame effect may be joined by tying bowknots together at the top, so that little medallions seem to be suspended by ribbons of gbia or a color. Large birds, such as storks, are most decorative and when done in a flight are not difficult. Flowers and rural scenes of various kinds may be used. It is sometimes possible to find beautiful photographs, and with these, unmounted, novel effects can be made. They may be placed on the paper in a line or irregularly, cutting out the background. This renders the pictures transparent when the light is waning. They should be neatly pasted on, first trimming the paper edge in scallops or points to make a finished frame. If one does not wish to do this, a design may be done with a paint brush in such manner as to simulate a frame. One who cannot use brushes will find that gilt and silver headings in the fancy paper departments are very pretty and not hard to put on. These \"frame effects\" may become most elaborate by pasting on different decorations. ETIQUETTE. The Family Physician The best medicines in the world cannot take the place of the family physician.

Night after night Smut performed his part in an admirable and irreproachable manner, lying down at my feet while I sat under a tree taking part in a dialogue with one of the characters. On a hot, sultry night in July, however (for the play enjoyed an exceptionally long run). Smut became bored, thinking, no doubt, that the play had had its day and that it was now the dog's turn. He advanced quite quietly to the center of the stage with nn almost managerial sense of his own importance, sat down in a dignified manner on his haunches and yawned in full view of the audience with the sublime indifference of a dramatic critic. The audience were naturally amused. Encouraged by the success of his un- j conscious efforts, Smut went from bad to worse by'snapping up a passing fly, < which he swallowed with the enjoy- j ment of a gourmet, inevitably spoiling i the quiet scene on which we were en- j gaged. ��������� ', This terminated his engagement as , an actor.���������John Hare in Strand Mag-' azine. - : .1 Treasury Note Plates.

Probably few persons took much Interest in the announcement that a flaw had'been discovered In the great 100 inch lens for the Mount:Wilson reflecting telescope. To scientific men this was,no less than a tragedy, since it means an expense of $50,000 and a do- lay of a year, with the possibility that the second effort will be no more successful. It is' doubtful if many persons ever saw a reflecting telescope. When the term telescope is used we naturally think of an instrument with n long \"barrel\" and lenses at each end. These are the most common, but are not in many cases the . most useful. They have defects which cannot be remedied in our present state of knowledge, aud they have limitations put upon them by nature whieli perhaps rany never be ' overcome. But the^reflectlng telescope, 1 consisting of a single lens placed hori- 1 zontally and without any \"barrel,\" is [ In many respects the more useful in- ' strument for astronomers, although it : also has Its drawbacks. J In tills instrument the light fulls dl- ' rectly on the lens nnd is reflected back ! to n focal point, which is distant from ! the lens according to its diameter. It 1 is open to the objection that the light '��������� reflected back Interferes with the fall- } ing rays, but Ingenuity lias overcome i much of the disadvantage, The largest I effective instrument of this sort is at I the l'erkes observatory, but the one planned for Mount Wilson is to be | more than twice as Inrge and much j larger than that of Ixird ftosse, which ' was so famous fifty years ago. j The difficulty in constructing a ions more than eight feet in diameter arises from the fact that the glass must be absolutely flawless, or as near so as human skill can make it such a lens is a long, /'xpensive and difficult process, and many failures inevitably result before success is achieved even for small lenses. If the ' 100 inch lens is finally turned out normally perfect, we shall have an ln- , strument which will greatly add to ��������� our knowledge of the universe about us. It is, an interesting fact In this ! connection thnt for several generations ' the best glass has been, made in : France, but the best 'workmanship In ' grinding the lenses is done in this ' country. The hitter work is so delicate and difficult that it requires almost a sixth sense to accomplish anything like'desirable results.-Philadel- phia Inquirer.

Jt is the work of the kidneys to strain the impurities out of the blood.

He adds that It furnishes n peaceful topic of con versa tion, leads the harried thoughts of husband and wife to- wnrd high ideals (as opposed to the aforementioned price of ' bacon and eggs) and keeps the fire of family affection burning brightly and warmly on the domestic hearthstone. Continuing, Mr. Damrosch explains: \"There is more domestic discord in thc American home (ban in that of any other country on lhe globe, and I* believe it is because there is not enough cultivation of the finer things of life.
